candidates were in session until after
the midnight hour this morning, en-

Mayor Dodge has little to say in the
way of prediction. He says that from
reports submitted, he has every reason
to think that the result will be salts

considers there can be but one result.
Dodge supporters are more enthusi-

lost strength within the last As hours,
and that the opposition movement will
be completely buried. From what could
be CLEANED by a canvas of members of
the city government at last night S
meeting of the city council, there is lit

ward one, which might naturally be
supposed would go for Mr.. Roe by a
large majority, men who claim to know

FAMILY PUT OUT.
A Laurel Hill Fire Destroys w. H. Will
Iard's House.

Iard's House.
Fire was discovered at the home of
Warren H. Willard, corner of Laurel
and Edward streets, about 2 o'clock
this morning, and few minutes later
an alarm was sent in from box g. The
presence of the fire was discovered by
the family, many members of which
were almost suffocated by the dense
smoke. So far as could be learned the
fire started in the basement and grad
ually worked its way to the first floor,
destroying the woodwork and quanti-
ty of furniture.
The firemen worked hard to keep the
flames from spreading to the upper
floor, and in doing so had to cut into
the woodwork. Streams of water We're
poured in and great deal of the dam
age will be from water as well as
smoke and fire.
The family escaped unscathed, but it
was a close call from death, and the
women huddled together like frightened
doves while the fremen worked 'on the
flames. Mr.. Willard is hardware

will reach about several hundred dol

His vanity has been flattered by
toadies and tufthunters and he has I'M
hesitatingly yielded to their crafty in
situations and furthered their personal
ambitions. He has encouraged scan
dals and fostered favoritism. He has
smirched the glory of the Santiago vic
tory, which was enough for US all, -
by making it only sufficient for one,
and that one an officer who was not in
the battle at all.
He is responsible for the silly and
fruitless naval procession at Porto
Rico, which. only resulted in seriously
straining two or three battleships
which had to tow the monitors.
He has taken sides with the insolent
bureaucrat, Crowninshield, and the
board of strategy in exalting some OFF,
GERS who had not earned the honor at
the expense of other officers who did
the real work.
He has been Sir Oracle for Capt.
Evans, who has vented his spleen
against higher officers by making false
and vicious statements.
The outcome of this miserable BUSH
ness is the Generalization of the navy
and serious menace to its discipline.
Here is what few prominent men
think of the attack:
ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS"
Gov. Rollins of New Hampshire; II

is absolutely outrageous and uncalled

COLLINS NOMINATED.
Little Friction Manifested
in Boston Democratic
Convention.

Boston, Nov. 20.-With scarcely any
friction but nevertheless with some op-
position by one-third of the delegates,
Hon. Patrick A. Collins was nominated
at the municipal convention tonight as
the democratic candidate for mayor of
Boston. Gen. Collins received 1877 votes
in the convention to 1O4 for his oppon-
ent at the caucus, John R. Murphy,
but the nomination was not made unan-
imous, the bitterness aroused during
the late campaign not having subsidized.
Still, the convention, in view of this
fact, was very harmonious and only
once was there any sign of discord. The
names of both candidates had been
placed before the convention, when ex-
State Senator Quincy, in seconding
that of John r. Murphy, aroused con-
siderable ill-feeling by referring to an
unfortunate incident of the assault that
took place when he charged the Collins
delegates with fraud.
There was a great crowd, and shouts
of liar interrupted the speaker In
placing the name of Mr. Murphy before
the convention and seconding it, all the
speakers expressed themselves in favor
of Gen. Collins.

The Chicago Tribune of Sunday con-
tains a most extraordinary editorial
aimed at Secretary Long, demanding
his resignation and making outrageous
charges against him.
Upon its face the editorial appears tC
be inspired by some disgruntled poll
cal rival, who seeks revenge. Surely
there could be no other cause for such
a statement as that Gov. Long has
been concerned in scandals in his de
partment. The republicans of Massa-
chusetts have deservedly felt the great
est pride in his work in the navy de-
partment during the war.
The whole country has risen to ii
and applauded it, Its glory and smooth
ness, its diplomacy and dispatch have
been the text of volumes of well-won
praise and recognition.
That so leading paper as the Trib-
une should now attack him is signiti-
cant.
Secretary Long has lately been men,
toned as a candidate for vice-president
on the ticket with President Mckinley.
1t was a suggestion of the Boston Rec
ord, and it grew as 1t travelled.
Yet there have been signs that it
was not welcome in some political
quarters.
And now it looks as if some one de-
sirous of killing Mr.. Longs chances of
nomination had inspired this foul at
tack.
THE EDITORIAL.
The editorial in question regrets that
tha runnpr of Longs resignation is I'M
true. 1t demands that he resign, and
says:
The reason why Secretary Long
should resign is that he is unfit for his
place and that his continuance in office
can only work to the detriment of the
navy. which has already been demon
allied by his inefficiency.
He has been the easy victim of naval
cabals and has pandered to the jeal-
ousies of naval officers instead of
promptly sitting them.

that no insurgents had been there for

was probably in Dagupan yesterday,

English Tactics Will
Change in Charac-
ter.
FROM DEFENSIVE TO OFFENSIVE.
Gen. ('leary Charged With
Relief of Lady
smith.

London, Nov. 2O.-The present week,
according to the dispatches from the
front, ought to see a change in the de-
fensive tactics hitherto maintained by
the British in South Africa.
1t is said that the task allotteds to
Gen. Cleary, that of relieving Lady
smith, will tax his generalship to the
utmost. The Beers are developing a
great deal of strength in the neighbor-
hood of Estcourt, and Gen. Joubert is
reported to be moving southwark him
self, in order to direct the movement
and repel the British advance, after
which it would seem attempting to iso-
late Estcourt
This latter movement is already in
progress. The Beers practically sur
round the town. Another small force
was discovered at Willow Grange,
south of Estcourt, yesterday Sunday
evening. Maj. Thornecroft, with a de-
tachment of infantry, made sortie and
engaged the Beers, but with no mate
rial result.
The so-called Boer attempt to rush
Estcourt on Saturday was apparently
merely a reconnaissance, resulting in
the Beers obtaining the information
which they desired, namely, that Est
court is fairly strongly held and has
naval guns in position. The Beers then
withdrew out of range, but remained
at points commanding the exits from
the town.
Gen. Cleary is lamentably deficient in
cavalry and artillery, though attempts
are being made to replace the former
by Uitlander mounted infantry.

But the Jewels Are
Artificial Not
Genuine.
HAUL BY CUSTOMS OFFICERS.
Man Walks Off Steamer
With Gems in His
Shoes.

New York, Nov 2O.-A steward on
the Etruria named George Taylor, John
Trebon of this city and Francis Book,
said to be a jeweler of Providence, r.
l., are under arrest in this city, accused
of smuggling.
Book arrived yesterday on La Bre-
tagne. He was suspected of pearl
smuggling because of information re-
ceived from Paris, and his baggage
and person were searched, resulting in
the discovery of jewels said to be
worth $4,000. There are 10000 whole
and half pearls in the seized packages.
In each of six shoes which We're turned
in and tied together in pairs were
found at least 10 packages of the jew
els, and among his other baggage was
found large package containing fully
two quarts of pearls. On the person of
Book, who was examined twice by the
officials, two other parcels were found,
each containing five packages similar
to those in the shoes.
Book was arraigned today before
Commissioner Shields and was held in
$4,000 bail for examination tomorrow
morning. Having no friends in this
city, he was unable to furnish the re-
CURED bond. Books previous trip was
made in May, and information from
Paris stated that he was trying to cor
ner the market in pearls of the highest
grade
The seized pearls were taken to the
seizure room at the public stores this
afternoon. They were not officially APP
praised today, but it was said by the
officials at the seizure room that the
value Of the goods had been greatly
overestimated 1t was said, in fact,
that there were no real pearls in the
lot at all, but that they were all artifi-
cial The value of such goods is but a
small fraction of that of the real ar
ticle. Nevertheless artificial pearls
have a certain value, and as the guam
tity seized was very large, the seizure
may prove important.

Customs Officials Landed Their Quar-

Providence, R. l., Nov. 2O.-Francis
Book, arrested in New York for SNUG
Cling, has been a jewelry dealer dealing
in imitation pearls, and is said to have
a place of business on Burnet street, in
that city. For some time the local Off

in the imitation pearl racket. After
thorough investigation the local customs
official took a trip across the water.
Book came to this city late last win
ter or in the early spring, and gave out
that he intended to engage in the imi-
tation pearl business. About six weeks
ago Book left the city for Paris on a
business trip. The result of the trip
