Americans Speak Better English.

AS a people, Americans use better
English than is used in any other Eng
disappearing community in the world.
In England it is well known that the in
habitants of one county often cannot
understand the speech of their neigh
bors across the line. A university bred
Londoner is as much at sea amid the
patois of the Yorkshireman or his
brother from Essex as would be an Ital-
ian.

GILLETT STILL AT LIBERTY.
One of His Victims Proposes to
Bring Him Back.

Denver. Dec. S.-A special to the
News from Las Vegas, N. NJ, says:
D. H. Howard, a cattle dealer of Abb
lene, Kan, who is $4,000 short on Gil
lett, the Kansas plunger, passed
through Las Vegas this morning, en-
route from Mexico to Topeka, where
he will ask the governor to issue re-
QUESTION papers for the transfer of
Gillett into the custody of the Kansas
state authorities. Howard and two
detectives have been on Gillett's trail
for ten days. They discovered his
whereabouts in Chihuahua City. With
him is the Fort Worth attorney, Trox-
all, who helped him in his fight. Gill
lett would have been promptly arrested
but for the defective eXtradition laws
It was considered best to leave the two
detectives to shadow them until such
time as matters could be arranged to
capture and eXtradite them without the
possibility of a hitch in the proceed
ings.
Governor AhUmada was called upon
Howard says the governor treated him
most kindly, and, after hearing his
statement and the story of Gillett' S
conduct, very strongly intimated that,
Notwithstanding the eXtradition laws,
properly executed legal documents on
behalf Of the American authorities
would fetch Gillett back to Kansas.
Mr.. Howard further stated that he
had at Albuquerque telegraphed last
night to the city marshal at Abilene,
requesting the arrest or detention of
two parties as accessories of GiIlett.

socialist to be elected to an admins
trative office in this country.
By the municipal election Monday,
John G. Chase, aged % years, a clerk
in a cooperative grocery store, was
elected mayor, as the candidate of the
Social Democracy, by plurality of $50
votes, in field of six candidates. With
him on the victorious ticket were three
socialist candidates for aldermen and
three Cor councilmen.
Chase declares that his policy in the
mayors Office will be to carry out the
local party platform. Referring to the
platform, Mr.. Chase said: Il shall try,
with my comrades who have been elect
ed, to take some steps to bring each
of these matters before the people. Our
campaign is not a revolutionary one,
but one OF education. We shall force
nothing down the threats Of the people,
but will seek to educate them until
they ask for those things that we
recommend. That is. as far as [ can
outline our policy. There will be no
general turnover in the city hall, and
we shall try to do nothing but conduct
the business of the city in the most
careful and honest manner. | do not
expect opposi ion from the other parties
in the city council, but think we will
have a harmonious administration"
Mr.. Chase, who viii soon become the
executive head of the city, with a sal
airy Of $1,000, is peculiarly a man Of the
people. He is only a clerk in the CO.
dent of the Haverhill Cooperative So
ciety, which controls this and another
store in the city. He had been Orevi-
ously employed for five years in shoe
factories in various positions Mr.
Chase is native Of New HAMPSHIRE.

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHS.
Object Lesson In Federal Ownership
In Puerto Rico.

Washington, Dec S.--The situation in
Puerto Rico promises to force on this
government, for a time at least, the
experiment Of federal ownership of
telegraph and telephone lines. The war
department now controls all lines in
Puerto Rico and in the evacuated sec
tons of Cuba. The latter, however, is
looked upon as merely transient. In
both places the lines are being repaired
and the government is handling COM
mercial messages after government
matter. The signal service in charge
of this work says it is too soon to draw
conclusions as to the expense of the
service, as the cost for maintenance
and long delay in the repairs is just
now more than the income from the
lines. But in six months from the 1st
of January the signal service expects
to be able to furnish some interesting
data as to the profit in the insular wire
service. The military occupation of the
lines will naturally continue until the
establishment of a civil government,
and considerable interest is expressed
as to how the management of the lines
will be disposed of eventually, or
whether it will be permanently re-
tanned by the government This en-
forced object lesson in federal manage
ment is naturally expected to have
considerable influence pro or con in the
agitation for like control in this coun-
try

CUBAN COLONEL JAILED.
Santiago Excited Over Disorderly
Demonstrations of Insurgents.

Santiago de Cuba. Dec. S.-The Gu
bans here are greatly excited over yes
terday's proceedings, resulting from
the commemoration of the death of
Antonio Aaceo, particularly at the fact
that bullets reached the camp of the
Fifth immunes, which proves that the
shots were not fired by the Cubans who
fired volleys in the air from the public
square here. 1t now seems that the
bullets which struck the tentssof the
immunes came from a different party
of insurgents, near the trocha, who
were also celebrating.
Regarding the action Of the three
drunken Cubans who entered the Span
ish club and smashed chandeliers and
furniture, the Cubans say they deeply
deplore the outrage and do not think it
fair to look upon it as a race act. The
San Carlos club intends to hold a mest-

EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX.
Two Hundred Cases at Pennsylva-

Huntington, Pa, Dec. S.-Among Bed
ford's population of $500 there are
about 200 cases of what is said to be
genuine smallpox. This alarming con-
dition of affairs was discovered yester-
day, and up to that time there con-
tinued an uninterrupted commingling
of the citizens of the town.
The disease prevails from one end of
the town to the other. The Bedford
physicians disagree, some pronouncing
it to be chicken-pox, and others a
harmless skin disease. DR.. Atkinson,
state health inspector, says it is gen.
uine smallpox.

MORE sEAMEN SAVED.

Another fearful night Of peril and
fear. passed. The next morning twenty
three of the men of the Londonian sue
ceeded in launching one of their own
boats, and reached the Vedamore in
safety Their boat was also lost, and
all that day was spent in trying to
again establish communication with the
wreck. The gale was constantly in
creasing, and all efforts to save the
others were in vain. Even after night
had fallen the Vedamore kept cruising
again in the vicinity, but when day
broke next morning the LOndonian had
vanished. The Vedamore then pro-
ceeded to Baltimore.
The day after the Vedamore lost sight
of the Londonian the steamship King
Arthur passed her. She was then
abandoned and all her boats were
gone. 1t is supposed the remainder of
the crew attempted to leave her in
their own boats, and all hands had
persisted.
The Londonian was a fine steel YES
sci, built at Glasgow in 1886, and reg
istered 5,532 tons gross. She belonged
to the Wilson Furness Leyland line.
Her original name was Idaho, which
was changed to the present name about
a year ago. Captain Lee was formerly
chief officer of the Leyland line steamer
Victorian. His home was in Brixham,
England, where he had family.
The Londonian carried 20 passengers.
