TABULATED statements were published
yesterday by the leading newspapers OF
the country. headed by the New York
Herald, purporting to show the political
makeup OF the next Congress. All OF
these tables concede the reelection OF
Hon. George Gray and the defeat of
Handy. 1t is to be hoped that the re-
turns on November s will verify these
predictions. The status of Senator Ken
new is, however, overlooked entirely by
these newspaper cAlculators. That Ken
ney secured his seat through fraud is ad-
mitted by everybody. No man can an
ticipate the action of Congress or the
people Of Delaware on this proposition,
The published tables show that the next
United States Senate will be made up as
follows: Republicans, 4s; Democrats, 30;
Silver and Populists, I; doubtful, 5. This
gives the Administration clear ma
jority of six votes in the Senate, con.
ceding that kenney will retain hi. seat.
In the event of II further Congressional
investigation into his election and the
possibility OF his seat being declared Va.
can't nall these calculations would be up,
set and the situation would take on i
new phase. Free silver is to be crushed

That Monument was Spared.

Judge Thomas ]. Mackey, formerly Of
South Carolina, gives an incident OF
5herman's march to the sea which ia
not recorded in the war histories.
South Carolina was the first state in
the Union to send regiment to the
front to participate In the war with
Mexico" said the judge. THE people
Of a grateful state caused to be erected

brass, and represents palmetto tree.
When Sherman's army entered Column
bia and his soldiers were destroying
everything that came in their way, sew
eral companies made dash for the
shaft. With the butts of their muskets
they began the work Of demolition.
They had not proceeded far when a.
man on horseback rushed up to them
and commanded them to desist
Not another stroke!' he cried.
Several Of the soldiers paid no atten-
lion.
THE next man who dares assault
that shaft l will kill he thundered.
THE men saw tears in the ewes Of
the one who thus addressed them; they
also saw that he had weighed his words
carefully and meant every one of them.
Soldiers said he. the boys who
sleep beneath that palmetto loved their
country as much as you or 1. They
fought as valiantly.'
And the palmetto still stands In the
old town of Columbia. The man who
caused it to be preserved was Colonel
Paine of the 124th Ohio regiment and
the people of South Carolina owe him i
debt of gratitude they never can re-

BATTLE UNFOUGHT.
COMMODORE sCHLEY ALL BUT At
Tackled AN AUSTRIAN.

It Was on the Eventful July Sd, When
His Fleet Had Submerged the Spanish
warships, That He Mistook the
Austrian for an Enemy.
Here is an incident which shows
more clearly than anything else just
what the navy Is ready to do and how
delicately balanced is the chip on the
shoulders of our sea fighters. When
Schley had enriched our history on
July and every ship in these waters
under the royal banner OF CASTLE had
been shattered, he was sailing east to
resume station before Santiago. Word
came to him that the Pelayo, pride Of
the Spanish navy, had reached the Ca
ribbean, and he was directed to en-
gage her as soon as found. TO naval
experts the suggestion that cruiser
fight battleship Is insanity gone mad,
but nevertheless the Brooklyn started
on her errand.
Near Santiago battleship was
sighted, heavily armored and turreted,
but at such a distance that her colors
could not be distinguished under the
glass. Toward her the Brooklyn start
ed. Commodore Schley and Captain
Cook stood on the forward bridge as
the big cruiser fairly leaped forward
to give battle.
'She is white-an unusual thing in
war time" said the commodore, watch
ing the stranger through his glass. Il
don't believe she Is Spanish" he re.
marked moment later, and then, con
sulting the picture of sister ship to
the Pelayo, suddenly exclaimed: by
Jove! 1t is the Pelayo, after ALL"
son the signal bridgew shouted Cap
tain Cook. Can you make out heI
colors?"
Not yet sir" came the answer, fol
lowed moment after by I'VE have
raised her colors, sir, and she is Span
ish."
Send your men to quarters, Cook,
said the commodore, "apd start al
eighth shell for her wheI give
the word"
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1898-09-14

On went the Brooklyn, fast closing
the distance between herself and the
stranger-a big battleship of modern
type, and with her flag aft-two stripes
of red on each side Of yellow, as 1t APP
peared, and the crown in proper place.
The bugle sung 'To quarters" and
the men, although they had been fight
ing all the morning rushed to their
guns with n cheer. For moment the
commodore hesitated. "On the signal
bridget he called. "Are you certain
the stranger is Spaniard?"
Certain, sir" came the reply. 81
can see her colors distinctly"
The commodore had his glasses on
the battleship. Turning to the captain
of his ship, he said: Cook, that fell
low is not at quarters. His guns are
turned away from us. He is not up to
snuff. Watch him closely, and the mo-
ment he sends bis men to quarters
or moves turret, let drive. Give him
everything you have. We will sink
him in twenty minutes unless he gets
a shot under our belt"
Just then the officer on the bridge
reported that the battleship was sig
mailing with the international code,
and soon translated the message: This
is an Austrian battleship."
Half an hour after the commander
of the Maria Theresa (Austrlan) was
seated in Commodore Schley's cabin.

ters or moved a turret l should have
raked you; it was a narrow escape

Ell Captain.

No person witnessing performance of
an opera like "El Captain" can have
much idea of the magnitude Of the pro-
duction, or the immense amount of work
necessary for its successful presentation.
Sixty persons in addition to a military
brass band are seen upon the stage at
one time giving the performance, yet be-
necessary for the proper evolution of the
entertainment, who are never seen from
the front, and the auditor has but little
idea that they are in the theatre.
The "El Captain" company carry six
carpenters, three property men, a stage
manager and assistant, an orchestra
leader and assistant, a business manager
and assistant, also manager, treasurer
and secretary. The manager ofthe theatre
also furnishes large staff, which includ-
es treasurer, doorkcepers, ushers, stage
hands, janitors and electrician. 1t is es-
timated that no less than two hundred
persons are employed, directly orindrect-
ly, in the evolution of "El Captain"
and when it is presented here Monday
Sept, 10th at Howe's opera House an
adequate idea can be formed of its inn
mensity, and the reason Tor its instant
bound into public favor will be readily
explained. The st. Johnsbury Brass
Band will appear in the 2nd act.
