TO the EditeF Of the Press:
/ don't quite understand the letter Of Captain
Baker In your issue OF today, Ia which he says
lit Is with great pleasure find that the Guards
nave at last come to nfe.'" Is the Captains
memory so treacherous that he has forgotten that
told him personally on Thursday, October 3lst,
that we wei g ready TO give hi'n q drill Tor tun or
money, twenty-four men, two guides and captain,
twenty or thirty days? II the captain OF he Ca
dets can't remember what happened last week,
he Is to be excused for mixing dateS as nc uOes
In rs. Now Mr.. Editor to the oulslue puDne u
must appear that the only thing that prevents a
drill between the Guards and Cadets Is lhat each
company wishes the other 10 ehallenge. NOW
why NOT waive that formally aud let the ohcers
Of the Cadet meet the officers o. the Guards az
residenee1 any evening next week? and have no
Doubt but what we will very soon come 10 some
understanding as to the date on when we Will
have the pleasure of squarng any old accounts
there may be between The two organizations.
Respectfully,
T. Il. HARrNETT,
Captain Mont OmeIy Guards.

THE ENGLISH MOURN FOX DR.. PETERS
While Making His Murder Text for
Some Self Praise.
Germany and England Not In Accord
Respecting African Affairs.
Cardinal Manning Again at Work for
Striking London Laborers.

LONDON, November Though the enter
prise of DR.. Peters was coldly viewed in
England, as his main object was believed to
be the establishment of German ira ding sta
tions, his murder has caused unbounded re-
gret here. The London Chronicle says:
"The news Of the massacre of DR.. Peters
and his party must send thrill of emotion
throughout Europe, but it seems strange
that in exploration. as in colonization, the
Germans do not succeed as well as the Eng
lish. They do not apparently understand
the art of getting on with the native races.
They evidently rely more on force than on
Cancellation. The English on the other
hand have been eminently successful In
their dealings with the natives. No such
disaster as that which has befallen Dr.
Peters's expedition has 0vertaken any of the
expeditions which have been started under
English leadership from Zanzibar since the
days when Burton and Speke first penetrated
to the interior of the dark continent and dis
covered Lake Tanganyika, and we hope
that the world will not again be startled by
the announcement or such a calamity as
that which has just occurred on Tana riy-
er."
The Post says: "Unless the news which
has Just been received from Zanzibar should
happily be contradicted, which, unfortunate
ly there seems to be no particular reason TO
expect, the name Of DIR. Karl Peters will
have to be added to the list of those who
have perished in the gigantic task of open
ing up Central Africa to the influence Of Eu-
ropean trade and civilization. Coming as it
does Immediately upon the news of the safe
ty of Stanley and of Emin Pasha. the report
of the massacre of DR.. Peters. with all of his
party save two persons is particularly mel
anchOly."
The Times "The qualification with which
the civilized world has received the news of
the safety of Stanley and Emin Pasha has
been almost instantly jampened by the in
telligence that the adventurous explorer
DR.. Peters has been cut off on the
river Tanaby Masais, or Somalis and
that only two survivors of his
party have reached Ngao. Setting aside al
together questions of international rivalry in
regions of exploration and colonization, it
would be unfair not to recognize the courage,
the zeal and the devotion with which DR..
Peters labored in what he deemed to be the
interests of his country, and energy, not al
ways. unfortunately, tempered enough with
discretion. which he displayed in his en-
deavors to open up East Africa to European
influences, and Immediately, of course, to
those of Germany"

Fraud in New York.

NEW YORK, November 7.-Gen. Knapp OF
the Republican State committee, announced
today that most astounding frauds upon the
franchise had been discovered in Troy and
other places by the Democrat party in the
recent election. He declined to tell more
specifically the nature Of the frauds which
he so emphatically charged, nor would he
specify other places in which he charges the
Democratic party of being guilty Of fraud ).
The whole story, according to Chairman
Knapp will come out in good time. He
would not state what he expected to do
about it, or where the results in the election
would be affected by the disclosure.

THE AFFAIRS OF DAKOTA
As Set Forth In the Report of the
Last Territorial Governor.

Last Territorial Governor.
WASHINGTON. November Arthur G.
Mellette, Governor of Dakota, in his annual
report submitted to Secretary Noble, says
the population of the Territory is 65O,0Oo
OF this population, he places $4,000 within
South Dakota. Dakota, the governor says,
is pre-eminently an agricultural region, 10,-
0O,OeO acres of land being under cultivation
this year. Stock raising is a rapidly grow
I'M, industry. The subject of irrigation as a
means to assist farming has attracted much
attention during the past year. The only
up certainty in Dakota agriculture is the ir-
regularity of the rainfall. There is a largo
demand for farm labor, wages being $15 to
$25 per month. Bonanza farming, says the
governor, is the feature Of Dakota's agri-
cultural progress. Several farms contain
$4,000 to 1900 acres. The wool industry
will be a source of wealth. In vegetables
and fruits, the report says that Dakota
stands without rival. The mining indus
try is prosperous. There are 1000 churches
In the Territory. The number of banks is
given as 346. with an aggregate capital Of
SO, 130, 600.
