lockers en- who attended tae sale to get post
| ed on prices Not few of them who had no
tobacco on the floor bad expected TO bring
part of their crop to the sale, but the dry,
cold weather during the past week prevent

ed. Only the official account Is yet to
hand, but so far as caa be gathered
the lighting appears to have been al-
most a repetition OF the battle of
Elandslaagte. A dispatch Of the pres
vious day estimated that the Boers In
that vicinity numbered 1000, and that
they had ave guns, and judging from
the absence Of any statement to the
contrary In the official dispatch, It e
believed that the British were slightly
superior in numbers to the enemy.
The Beers had chosen a position with
their customary skill, and were strong
" entrenched. The British were obliged
to carry three ridges in succession. Ap-
parently the guards bore the brunt IN
carrying the last ridge by q bayouet
charge, after its defenders had been
shaken with shrapnel. Nothing is
said as to whether the positions 80
gained were hehld, and the destruction
Of ammunition seems to indicate that
the contrary was the case.

filled with the sentiment of loyal ad-
mIratIon, which, the admiral being hu-
man, could not resist. In part. he said:

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. both Of
whom are good judges of pottery, were
delighted with the jardlnIer. "And,
George, I'm in IT," was the pleased
comment Of Mrs. Dewey when she read
the inscription on the top Of the ped

Now you must write me out a good
speech" said the admiral to the intel

making notes. "And that reminds me
of something that occurred when I
went to my Vermont home few weeks
ago. The mayor was talking to me,

the future may have in store for you

The Admiral's Reply.
AS Judge Cranmer spoke the admiral
was vlslbly affected, and without
doubt he appreciated their full worth
every word and sentiment uttered by
the speaker. Admiral Dewey resrond-
ed briefly and feellngly. He said:
''Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:-1t
gives great pleasure to Mrs. Dewey and
me to accept this beautiful testimony
Of your esteem for US. 1t comes at
an opportune time. It is not necessary
for me to say that We will keep 1t al

"All right; we accept with pleas

hand -clapplng and cheers the hearts

The expression, only different as
used BY that other naval hero, Oliver

to.nIrht. Tho invitation committee
from wheeling arrived in town over
nm hour late this morning, and then, to
cap the climax, the steam elevator at
the Riggs House became stalled mid
way between floors. with the Wheeling
crowd aboard. Notwithstanding these
little mIshaps, the committee got to-
Re,her shortly before the hour named
by Admiral Dewey, 10 o'clock, and were
driven to the admlral's residence, on
Rhode Island avenue. Here they were
Arst in turn presented to the admIral's
secretary, Mr.. Crawford, by the Intel
lIrencer representative, through whom
the appointment with the admiral had
been made. Proceeding to the reeep-
tIon rooms, Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
were met, both shaking the hand of
each caller, and extending a most cor

Before the delegation departed. Ad-

ceptance, prepared for the occasion, he
said, by John (meaplng Mr.. John r,
Mclean, the late Democratic candl-
date for governor of Ohio. and the Rd-
mirars brother-ln-law). However, it
is in the admiral's handwriting, and
possibly he was only poking fun at
John. At any rate, this Is the speech
that the admiral read to the delegation

from several of the Wheeling delega-
