they have an innate passion for fighting

time to get up fresh supplies of ammunition
after the first days engagement.
The Beers can not take Ladysmith by as
sault, having neither bayouets nor swords:
but if the British naval guns we're silent the
Boer artillery could dominate the town.
The most ominous indication of a serious
outlook, however. is the positive statement
that General Butler has demanded second
army corps and that order was issued In two
days for Its mobilization This points not
only TO anticipation of long Boer cam
paign, but also TO the necessity of taking pre-
caution against both native risings and

.MAzET WILL CONTEST.
Republicans Claim that He Was Beaten
Through Fraud.
CHAIRMAN Qu;GG IS VERY POSITIVE IN
His Assertions; But the Democrats
Also Make Charges of bribery
and Corruption.

New York. November s, 400 a. m.--The
Herald says: While the republicans ad-
mitted that Perez NJ Stewart had received
the greater number of votes in the Nine
teenth assembly district they unanimous
ly declared that Robert Mazet would again
occupy his seat in the assembly. Stewards
plurality Is less than the number of al
legged fraudulent votes cast in the district
for the Tammany hall ticket. 1t was an
nounced that Mr.. Mazet would make a
contest and that there was ample evidence
to justify a republican legislature in
throwing out more than 400 votes which
were cast against him. This report spread
through the district last night before the
figures became known. The fight had been
so bitter that the small plurality was held
10 be insufficient to seat Stewart. Charges
OF bribery and collision were freely made
on each side.
A report was taken to republican head
quarters that five men who had gone to
the Thirty fourth election district intend
ing to vote for Mazet found that Tammany
men had cast ballots in their names This
was said to have been one of the many
fragrant frauds.
1T is surprise that We were not de-
feated by 1000 or MORE said Collector
Bidwell. "Mazets defeat is due TO illegal
voting, illegal registration and to every
fraud known" He would not discuss the
prospect of contest.
Mr. Quigg made these comments. THE
strange feature OF the fight is that in the
democratic districts Stewart ran behind,
while in the republican districts Mazet
has run behind; Mazets losses we're heav-
ier Ny present estimate is that the
fetal vote of the Citizens Union IN tine
assembly district was about $50 There
ware at least 400 fraudulent Tammany
votes cast. The intention had been to
have 1000 votes but we managed TO pro.
vent about 500"
Does Mr.. Mazet assert that no has
heen beaten by fraud?" asked
u assert it, was the reply.
