as he had spoken against the Republican
candidates in twenty-seven States in 1896

On the other hand he did mot desire
to enlbarrass the Democrats by asking
for time from them. He would vote
against the pending bill, he said, but he
did not entirely agree with the views
Of members upon the minority side. He
would. therefore, content himself with
printing his opinions.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader
called Mr. Sibley to witness that he had
been offered thirty-fve minutes within
which to present his views. To this Mr.
Sibley assented, but said he had not avail

GEN. WAUCHOPE'S BODY FOUND.
Modder River Wednesday, Dec. 13.-
Ambulances started early yesterday
morning under "a flag Of truce, to collect
the wounded and bury the dead who fell
at Magersfontein.
Brigadier General Wauchope, who led
the Highland brigade, was found dead
near the trenches, shot an the chest and
thigh. A few wounded were found near
the trenches. Several wounded Beers
were taken to the British hospital.
Judging from information cleaned from
the Boer wounded and from prisoners
taken in different parts of the field, the
Boer losses must exceed 700. The de-
struction wrought by the naval guns was
enormous.
Word was passed along the Boer lines
to prepare to retreat at nightfaa. All
confess that it was their greatest loss
during the war.
The British troops have returned to
Modder River, owing to the lack of
water near the position held yesterday.

Improper food is responsible for many

There are times when one needs the

for slight disorders the surest and
safest way is to change the food COM
