easily surrounded by the army and
navy. After bombardment of half an
hour from the gunboats and land bat
teries the infantry charged upon the
rife-pits protecting the TANKS of the
fort. The brunt of the struggle fell to
Thayer's Iowa Brigade and Hovey and
Burbridge's mixed commands. Hovey
and Thayer charged through a heavy
fire of musketry and artillery to within
rifle range of the main parapet. The
bombardment had sienced all but one
of the guns in the works, but the COM
mandant, General Churchill, resolved
to hold out with his 5000 infantry. A
final assault was made at 3:15 A. M.
Burbridge's men dashed across the open
marshes in full range of the enemy's
bullets to the intrenchments. The gar
rison ceased firing, white flags appeared
on the parapets, and Burbridge de-
manded surrender. Churchill accused
his men of treachery, but consented to
truce which ended in surrender.
The heaviest regimeutal loss in the
battle fell upon the Twenty-sixth Iowa.
The colonel, eight of his officers and
108 soldiers were shot down.-Ex-

Political Notes.

WE were mistaken in supposing that
the Hon. Hoke Smith, the champion of
sound money and safe currency, had
got through punching the heresy out of
Smith, the free-silver crank of 1892.
The secretary merely took brief rest,
and then began again, recently, at JEFF
ferson, Ga, a town named in honor
of an earlier and physically narrower
democratic statesman.-NewY York Sun.
THE enthusiasm at the conclusion Of
Hoke Smiths final speech against free
silver is described as something tremen-
dous. No wonder; it was a great intel
lectual victory. In fewer words than

RICHFoRD had a sweeping liquor
raid last week. The American and
Union houses and three drug-stores
were searched. Whites drugstore was
the only place where no liquor was
found. All the proprietors were fined
the usual amount for a first offence of
keeping Intoxicating liquor, and for a
first offence of selling.
AN investigation of the misplaced
switch at Bellows Falls, by which the
New York express was recently ditched,
shows that an engine passed over the
switch few minutes before the ex-
press, and that no employee was in that
vicinity in the intervening time. The
switch was probably tempered with by
some boys or thoughtless party, as
there was no apparent object for a
wreck.

The Color Line.

There will be no little commotion in
Grand Army circles, if the statement
which comes from Louisville is true,
that an effort will be made to refuse
recognition to colored members. OF
course, as there is no color line in the
great veteran organization, this report
could not affect the meetings of the
Grand Army, and the Kentuckisns,
having invited the association, we do
not believe, no matter what the color
prejudice, there will be any such at
tempt in the voluntary entertainment.
Should this be found true, and become
known, there would be but one self
respecting thing for the Grand Army
to do, and that to refuse any and all
Inequalities rendered, and the boys
may be trusted thus to stand by the
comrades, no matter of what complex
ion, who stood with them in defense Of
the nation.-Troy Times.

Pension " Reissues"

Have you noted in the list of PEN
sions granted, published in the daily
papers, how largely the item of ''re-
issues" exceeds in numbers any other
classification? If not, just make an ex-
animation and convince yourself. Now,
what are these reissues? The list is of
unfortunates who have had their PEN
sions reduced under Hoke Smiths
method of procedure. Few people
stop to think that the process has been
going on for more than a year. A PEN
sioner receives notice that his pension
is to be cut off, but that he will have
thirty days in which to prove that he is
entitled to it. That is to say, he is,
like prisoner, charged with a crime
and compelled to prove his innocence.
He is accused of not having pension
able disability, and, therefore, that he
is not entitled to pension; and he is
required to go to work and prove that
he is justly entitled to it, within thirty
days. These reissues are pensions Of
such people which have been allowed
again-but at lower figure than that
originally received. Toledo Blade.

place the keeper of the restaurant com
mtted suicide. Thousands of leaflets
advocating the nihilist doctrine and a
hand press were seized. Many arrests
have been made of persons residing in
the suburbs of Odessa on suspicion of
being concerned with the riots of the
nihiists taken into custody at the res
taurant.
IT is said that Prince Henry of Bat
tenburg and Princess Beatrice went
abroad on the eve of Emperor Will
Jams arrival in England to avoid a
repetition of what occurred last year.
The emperor always manifests disap-
prevail of what he regards as the NOR
ganatic alliances of some of his English
relatives, with characteristic bluntness.
During his visit in 1894 he would only
address Prince Henry as the governor
of the Isle of Wight.
INTELLIGENCE has been received
from Cayenne, the capital of French
Guiana, that the relations between
French and Brazilian subjects there
are strained, and that as a result war
may be declared between France and
Brazil. 1t is stated that the French
residents are continually insulted by
the Mapans and are made to undergo
gross indignities. A French captain
named Trajan has been arrested by the
Braziians, and the French flag that
floated from his house hauled down
and replaced by Brazilian flag.
THE North German Gazette, a semi
official organ, in commenting on the
relation of the United States with the
Cuban rebels, says: Whatever the
official relation between Spain and the
United States, the sympathies of the
masses of the American people are with
the Cubans, but if American politicians
draw the conclusion that the victory of
the rebels means rich gain for the
North Americans they make great
mistake. The separation of Cuba from
Spain can only result in Cuba becomin g
small independent state like San Do
mingo. Madrid is not wrong in assert
ing that New York has become the
Mecca of all the adventures of the
world, who look upon the Cuban re.
bellion as business promising high
profits"

Would Not Break Tradition.

Paris, May 8.-The Figaro says:
The United States did not Join Great
Britain when the professors interviewed
in the matter of the Chiuese-Japanese
treaty of peace, owing to that coun-
try's traditional policy Of noninterfer-
ence. The United States wished that
japan would not be deprived of her ad-
vantages and would not have objected il
Japan had seized the Gulf of Perchili
and the Pekin road, but they would not
send a war ship to support her. The in
flexible attitude of the United States has
cleared the horizon.
The Matin says:
Great Britain no longer lays down the
law outside Of Europe.
