The general numerically attacked

DAIRY STATISTICS.
Census Officer Is Making Special
Efforts to Get Them

Washington. Oct. 21--The census Of
fee is sending out a large number Of
letters and circulars intended to per-
feet the work of making a complete
census of dairy products. Hitherto the
annual change of managers. owners
and directors which takes place in so
many cheese factories and creamertes
has rendered practically impossible the
work of securing accurate dairy stats
tics As this is the season during which
factories and creamerfeS close up the
years business. Director Merriam sug-
gests that before doing so they prepare
a detailed statement Of the quantity of
milk, or cream, purchased and the
amount paid for it; the amount Of but
ter or cheese produced The amount
received from the sale Of each, the
amount of capital invested in plant and
machinery, and the amount paid for
wages, etc The items should be varied
properly to fit cases where factories or
creameries are cooperative

the year 1899 viii not be gathered by the
nuneratOrs until June l. 1900, the d1rec-

MERELY INCIDENTAL.
Col. Bryan Refers to the Hiss
ing at Findlay Last Night.

Fremont, O., Oct. 21-The Bryan
Mclean train left FindIay at $50
o'clock this morning. At Astoria the
train stopped for a few moments, dur
ing which Mr.. Bryan appeared upon the
platform in response to calls of the
crowd Expressions of kindly greeting
were exchanged
Comments were numerous regarding
the Missing at the opera house IN Find
lay last night Mr.. Bryan was told that
"OhiOans do not approve of that Mr..
Bryan We viii resent it at the proper
time, and in the proper way
oh we'll, those things are the Incl
dents of a warm political condition" re-
piled Mr. Bryan If the can stand it
I can"
AT Fremont, the home of ex-President
Hayes reception committee and a
good crowd met the train and escorted
the visitors to the court house square.
b R BudrOW presided, and introduced
Mr. Mclean The latter introduced Mr.
Bryan who thanked the audience for
their fealty to the Chicago platform in
1896 and hoped they would give Mr..
Mclean a greater majority this fall
He said:
I believe this town was named after
John c. Fremont, who ran for president
on a platform which declared that
might makes right, was unworthy of
any nation Now compare that plat
form with the present doctrine of the
Republican party which proposes to
sell the FiIipfnos at 81 a head and kill
them because they claim to own them
by right Of purchase from a decayed
monarchy. Now, the Republicans have
become so bad that no one dares to Op-
pose what Mark Hanna calls a good
thing He believes there are good trusts
and bad trusts The good ones being
those which literally contribute to a
campaign fund and the bad are those
which do not contribute"

DEWEY STOPS.
Physicians Say He Must Accept No
More Invitations.

Washington. Oct 21.-By advice of his
physician, Admiral Dewey has can
ceIIed his proposed trips to PhiladeI-
phia and Atlanta and viii accept no
more invitations
Admiral Dewey will accept no more
invitations before next spring. The
following official statement on the sub
ject was made at his Office here to-
day:
Acting on the advice of his physi-
clans, Admiral Dewey finds that it will
be necessary to cancel the engage
ments that he has entered into to visit
certain cities and to decline all invita-
tiOns for the present He finds that the
mental strain incident to such visits is
seriously affecting his health
It was said by Admiral Dewey's
friends that this is not to be taken as
an indication of any alarming change
in the admiraIs health. but that to a
man Of his temperament the excite
ment and mental strain incident to the
various public functions in which he
has been a participant have proved IN
usually trying. He will remain as quiet
as possible for the balance of the winter
and it is hoped by next spring he will
be able to take a short trip south and
visit some of the places whose inhabi-
tants have been so anxious to well
come him The Invitations for his Phil
adelphia and Atlanta trips were can
celIed by telegraph today.

managing owner of the Columbia. was
highly pleased at the result OF yester-

the Columbia during the races and the
ladies from the Corsatr congratulated
Mr. IseIin- Afterwards all the gentle
men accompanied Commodore Morgan
to the Corsair, where todsts were
drunk.
Mr. Iselin said to an Associated Press
reporter
'+Of course am delighted at the out
come of the race, for it demonstrated
thoroughly that in a strong breeze the
Columbia is more than a match for the
Shamrock 7 am glad We had so much
wind. for it gave US an opportunity TO
dispel the Illusion that the Columbia
was not a heavy weather boat Hav-
ing sailed on the Columbia all season.
I have been able to test her in every
kind Of weather and her work shows
that my confidence in her ability to
successfully defend the Americas cup
was not misplaced"
HOW IT WAS DONE.
London. Oct 21--The Daily Graphic
thinks Shamrock was handicapped by
Mr. Flies illness and that she was not
sufficiently tried before the cup races
The Shamrock" says the Graphic.
has been badly beaten in her own
weather, but SO good a sportsman as
Upton will not grudge the time and
money spent"
The Daily Nail says:
THE test IS decisive The Shamrock
is second best to Columbia Now that
it is all over, the Americans might tell
US in a friendly way how it was done
Whether they are better builders or
not be surprised to find that the Amer
lean superiority lies in the national
mastery of detail. which is their forte
also in manufacturing The two COM
petitOrs have proved very perfect, gem

while expressing regret at the result
of the races for the Americas cup. show
the greatest admiration for the pluck
and spOrtsmanlil1e attempt Of SIR
Thomas Upton to win the trophy and
all admit that the better boat won.
The Dublin Express says it has hopes
that Sir Thomas viii try again in 1900.
The Daily Independent says.
1T was claimed that with a breeze
Shamrock would win, but even with
this advantage, she was outclassed BY
a better yacht"
The Freeman says
Sir Thomas deserved better luck
The contest was fairly fought out and

TALANA HILL WAS A ROUT
London. Oct 1.-THE earliest dis
patch regarding yesterdays battle con
Veyed the impression that the whole
affair was over in a couple of hours. the
British artillery silencing the BOer guns
and infantry and then simply charging
right over the hill According to the
latest advices however the battle last
ed eight hours and nearly seven hours
elapsed before the last BOer gun was
put out Of action.
The Irish fusiIeers and the Kings
rifles meanwhile had advanced to the
assault and were shooting their way up
the hill, driving the Beers back from
shelter to shelter. until the final rush
of the British carried them to the sum-
nit 1t was a bright clear morning
which enabled the operations to be fol-
lowed without difficulty. A curious fact
was that several times a IuII occurred
IN the firing on both sides, the British
infantry apparently taking breathing
spells in the stiff climbs. and the Beers
also holding back their fire.
The magnificent practice of the Brit
ism guns was an immense help and the
success of the assault was greatly due
thereto.
Once the British bayonets showed on
top Of the kOpje the Beers retreated
and when on descending the other side
they found a British battery and Brit

retreat became q rOut The British guns
followed and unIim bering from time to
time, threw shells among the flying foe.
The latter did not wait TO try COnclu-

near enough TO deliver effective VOIleyS-
