A Big Rally Monday Night.

A meeting of the Rockingham Republic
can club was held at club headquarters last
evening and the details fully completed for
a last large rally and torch light procession
Monday night. All the surrounding towns
are invited to participate, and a number
already have accepted the invitation. The
parade will include detachment of horse
men, large division of footmen and about
125 bicycists, with Chinese lanterns and
other decorations. Two or three bands
will be in attendance. The private houses
will be decorated as well as places of bust
ness, and as a whole it will be fitting
close of the campaign. After the process
sion has gone through the principal streets
an address will be given at the opera house
by Curtis Guild, ir., and other speakers.
The canvass the past week or two has
been'a spirited one and very thorough up
on both sides. The probabilities are that
a much larger vote will be polled here than
ever before The canvass shows from 30
to 40 Democrats, who have heretofore
voted their own ticket, many of them
prominent leaders, who will this year vote
the Republican ticket at both the state and
national elections. 1t does not look now
as if Rockingham would be at all behind
in the increased majority expected from
the state.

shrewd rascals who during the last

saying that the postmasterships in
their towns would soon be given out.
and the committees recommendation
would be given. The money so secured
would be put in the campaign.

RHODES WILL EXPLAIN.
Expects to Give Important Testimony
in the jameson Case.

Capetown. Dec 25.--A reception was
given yesterday at Port Elizabeth to
Cecil Rhodes, formerly prime miristei
of Cape Colony, and manager of the
British South Africa company, who is
enroute to England to testify before
the commission that will examine into
the raids by Dr.. Jameson into the
Transvaal. Mr.. Rhodes made speech,
certain parts of which have excited
considerable comment here.
He treated lengthily upon South
African affairs, touching somewhat
fully upon affairs in Rhodesia, whence
he arrived few days ago after taking
part in the suppression of the Matabclc
revolt, and then said he was going
home to be examined regarding the
Jameson expedition by his fellow coun-
trymen whose unctuouS rectitude. he
well knew. This sarcastic reference to
the investigating commission is taken
to Indicate that Mr.. Rhodes testimony
will be far more interesting than was
anticipated.

an emergency.
During the week orders We're re-

at Washington to supply Mare Island
with 100000 rounds of thirty-eight
calibre cartridges for navy .revolvers.
That 600 rounds of revolver ammu-
milton should be sent to Mare Island at
this time is considered more than a
mere coincidence by men who are ac-
quanted with the maner in which the
navy department conducts its affairs.
1t is generally believed that 1t is the
intention of the authorities at Wash

supplies upon what may be termed an
emergency footing.

firemen.
On Christmas eve she cOllided off
Cape Cod. with the schooner Carrie
Walter. which vessel became total
wreck as result of the collision, her
crew of six men being brought here
on the steamer. The accident was due
to the steamship captain mistaking the
schooner for the pilot boat on the Cape
Cod station, as she burned tlareup
lights used abroad the pilot fleet as a
signal and in consequence the steamer
held her course until she coliided with
the schooner. The Scandinavian as a
result of the collision has two holes
In her starboard bow. where large
