marck visitors returned home today.
Among them were Senator Fuller and
Representative Kearney, Tbos. Barrett,

Stutsman county came out Of the SEN
atorial electioni in good shape. Senator
Fuller voted for his old friend, Walter
Muir, at every ballot but three. One of
these votes was for Mr.. Pierce to please
an old friend. and the others besides the
Muir votes, were for Lounsberry. Sem

Senator-ele Hanebrough and the most
amicable relations exist between all con-
the straight democratic ticket without
change.
H.C. Hansbrough is the happiest man

the happiest lady. She is plucky, noble
little woman, who took an admirable
part in the gallant fight her husband
msde. She scarcely slept during the last
three nights, but was always dong some-
thing for the cause she held so dear.
After the election she received the warm.

trembled in the grasp, she was composed,
diRn;ied, and supremely proud of her

A Gard From Senator Pierce.

A Card From Senator Pierce.
The Tribune of this morning will con-
tain the following letter from Senator
Pierce:
To the editor of the Tribune: Permit
me to say here what should have been
glad to have said had l been present at
the joint convention which elected my
successor.
When Abraham Lincoln was defeated
for the United states senate, many years
ago. he was asked, upon leaving the hall,
that he felt good deal like the big boy
who stubbed his toe; he was too big to
cry and it hurt too almighty bad to
laugh. Naturally, am in something of
the same humor myself. for am human
But should be unworthy Of the friends
who have stood by me so truly if did
not accept the result cheerfully and with
sore spots, no ranking hatred, no heart
burnings My successor has years ex-
perience in congress and he should be
able to do good service for the state. I
believe he will. In common with the
members of the legislative assembly, I
owe allegiance and support to him and l
am ready to give both, frankly and hon.
estly. For the welfare of the state, I
hope Mr.. Hansbrough may be able to do
more than have done to advance it's in
terests; he cannot try harder, but he
may be more successful-and to that end
he should have the hearty cooperation
OF every good citizen. And now, thank
ing my friends for their fidelity and the
legislature for its courtesy, I express the
wish that harmony may characterize this
session Of the assembly and that its de-
liberat,ons may result IN the substantial
advancement of the public interests.
Very Respectfully,
GILBERT A. PIERCE.

The capital city IS in whlrl Of enthusi-

body is happy over Ransbrough's signal
success, but the vlctors are celebrating,
and the vanquished are joining in the

Elder Witham Endorsed.

Many Jamestown people who con.
tributed to the fund for the relief of des.
titute farmers in Dickey county, few
weeks since, may be interested in learn
ing that Rev. N. y. Witham, who it will
be remembered visited this city as COL
lector, has been publicly endorsed by a
mass meeting of farmers recently held at
Ellendale.S Some persons cast insinuations
of dishonesty against the gentleman at
the time, and claimed he had no author
lty to solicit aid for that county. In
order to justify his course and show that
the various donations forwarded were
thankfully received, Mr. Witham has
furnished the press with copy of the
following resolution, adopted at the
public meeting referred to above:
To whom it may concern: We, the
undersigned, chairman and secretaries of
a mass convention of the farmers of
Dlckey county, held in the court house
in the city of Ellendale. county of Dckey
and state of North Dakota, do hereby
certify that the following resolution was
unanimously voted to Mr.. N. u. Witham,
member of the North Dakota Alliance

Resolved-That we acknowledge with
united thankfulness the consideration
and kindness manifested to us by the
citizens of Grand Forks and Fargo,
North Dakota, for their liberal donations
to the sufferers of Dickey county, in said
state, occasioned by the long and DESC

there were fifty thousand insurgents in
the field. A fotilla Of five small vessels
was also organized on tho Logoa dos

The opposition in Sac Paulo was ter
rorized by the soldlero. In Para and

ship were started.
In the meanwhile n naval revolt at
Rio Janeiro was in progress, under he
leadership of Admirals Wandenkolk and
Custodio do Mello. They were Joined
by Gen. Floriano Peixoto, Vice Presi-
dent of the Republic and Gen. Jose
Simeao.
The dictatorial government got win d
Of the revolt and issued warrants for
the arrest of a number Of officers and
citizens. When the insurgents plan 5
were completed, an officer from a ferry

Great Britain's MinIstor to Greece Dis
liked By Russin.
ATHENA Dec. &C. strong pressure
is being brought to bear upon NJ. Deli
georgis, Minis ter Of Foreign Affairs, to
induce him to demand that Lord Sails
bury shall cause to be read in the
British Parliament the letter of apology
written by sr f. J. Monsou, British
Minister to Greece, for Inaccurate state
ments which -.ul-ler Monson had made
relative to yle treatmenG of British
creditors by the Syra- Hellenic Com
pany.
There is a powerful movement on foot
to compel the recall of Minister Munson
by the British Government.
This movement has for its ostensibl G
ground the charge of representation
in the Syra-Hellenic and other matters;
but the real ground is that Sir Edmund
has made himself obnoxious to the
philo- Russian party by his vigilance in
watching and reporting it's efforts to
control the policy of Greece in direo-
tion favoraD ole to Russia.
Sir Edmund is distinguished diplo-
mat, brother of Viscount Oxen bridge,
and high in favor with the Salisbury
government.
His former services have been chiefly
in South America, whore he has repre-.
sented Great Britain at Buenos Ayres,
Montevideo and in Paraguay. He was
appointed to Greece in 1888 where, for
the first time in his career, he appears
to have given oifense.
The feeling against him is so strong
that, but for fear of deeply offending
Great Britain, he would probably be
given his passports.

Event Of War
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26.-In view Of
the many disturbing war rumors con-
Cerning the Chilian affair, it may not
be uninteresting to take a glance at the
means we could enlist to strengthen
ourselves in the Pacific Ocean.
There are available for war purposes
of the Pacific coast, in the district of
San Francisco twenty-one first-class
ocean passenger steamers, any one of
which could be converted into an armed
transport in a few weeks.
Some of them are from fourteen to
sixteen knot boats and could carry a
very formidable battery, and wonld
have thirty to forty days coal endur-
unce. There are also quite number
Of smaller craft which also might be
utilized IL necessity demanded.
There is paucity of large freight
steamers ON the coast, there being only
-FOUR Of the larger class in the district
There are eight steam whalers capable
Of being fitted for special services. In
the district of Portland there are only
two large tirst-class ocean passenger
boats and two medium ocean freighters,
while in the Seattle district there are
three first class ocean passenger boats
and TWO ocean freightors, making q
total Of forty-two available steamers for
all classes Of work.
What are lacking most in this fotilla
are steam colliers, but they can be read
lily obtained by chartering coal carriers
under foreign flags, until we could send
down to Juan Fernandez somo sailing
vessels that would act as station coal
ships and receive the cargoes as they
came to hand, 50 that this matter could
be arranged without much difficulty
and at comparative economy in cost.
1t would not take us long to have
plenty Of coal hulks on that station.
1t isu question that may be considered
in connection with our needs in the
future for our position on the Pacific
Ocean, that we permanently acquire the
Island Of Juan Fernandez for a coaling
station for our navy. However, in case
of war we undoubtedly should take
possession OF it.
