what Gen. Butler, 1t develops from the

| point contrary to the supposition Of a few
days ago. when his departure for Durham
was noted. He seems to be directing affairs
frcm the natural center of communication
between London, the beleaguered cities in
the west and the isolated force in Natal.
He is waiting for his army corps to arrive,
and meanwhile, it is understood, he has
called for more men, with the reported re-
suit that 10000 additional men are to be
sent to South Africa Immediately. This is
said to involve extraordinary preparations
on a larger scale than ever before under
taken. While waiting for his reinforce
ments, Gen. Butler is rearranging his out
posts. That in Natal is at Estcourt. which
is relied upon to defend Pietermaritzburg,
the capital, that city being threatened by
the somewhat uncertain Boer movements
In the country north of the railroad lne
Communication between the coast and Est
court, which lies about twenty-five miles
south of Ladysmith. is yet uninterrupted.
In the northern portion of Cape Colony,
which is being invaded by the burghers,
there has been some falling back from ex-
posed points, the British troops concen-
trating at more defensible stations, such as
Naauwport. The purpose seems to be to
keep the railroad lines running into the
Orange Free State well in hand as far north
as possible, while the Beer program is as
clearly to cripple those lines to the most
southerly point possible. They have cut
the line running straight from Cape Town
to Kimberley just outside of the Free State
border at Modders river bridge Thus the
British waiting for the strength to
warrant an advance, while the Beers are
taking advantage of the delay to make that

The Defeated Candidate.

1t is a thing SURPRISING strange.
The way the public taste will change.
My Autographs once Haunted high
And challenged every curious eye.
Men. maids and children stopped to gaze.
l was second poster craze.
But in day Fate bids me bow;
Nobody wants my picture now.
The infants who would faIn be kissed
Are all at once crossed off my list
The crowd sweeps by like so much chaff:
No sweet voice asks my autograph.
The big waste-basket now contains
Those art works wrought with so much
pains
There is no laurel on my brow;
Nobody wants my picture now.

The Baltimore Sun thus comments today
on the result of yesterdays election in
Maryland:
1.-The democratic victory derives special
significance from the fact that the excellent
official record of the republican guberna-
tOrial nominee and his high personal char
acter gave his party the advantage of a
candidate who seemed likely to be more ac-
ceptable to independent voters than any
other whom it could have put forward
Governor Lowndes' defeat, therefore, can
in no way be considered as a reflection
upon him personally or as a rebude to his
administration of public affairs. A variety
of causes contributed to democratic sue
cess In the first place. Maryland is. under
normal conditions, a democratic state, and
cally united in the support of a ticket
which was conceded to be unobjectionaole
in its personnel, and which represented the
untrammeled will of the party
This is wise position. and it should he
maintained by the successful party through
out the state. II recognizes the fact that
Governor Lowndes gave the state an ex-
cellent administration, and that to assail
him or his record now by pointing to yes
terday's result as personal rebuke would
be unjustified by the facts. inexpedient
from the partisan point of view. and in
furious to the welfare of the state. What
Maryland needs and wishes Is good gov
eminent Instead of constituting the cleo
ton as a mandate from the state to depart
as widely as possible from the work of
Governor Lowndes. the new organization
will be wise to accept their victory as an
opportunity to excel him in good govern
ment. The Sun makes for political pro-
gress when 1t philosophically restraints it's
partisan ardor In the hour of triumph and
sees in the result only vindicatiou of the
very doctrines of government which the
defeated candidate represents.

The idea that anyone who has ever
been familiar with the delight of
driving an intelligent AMI spirited
horse will surrender that pleasure for
that of guiding a soulless machine
can only have occurred to man city
born and bred, AMI thus deficient in
half the knowledge and experience
which makes for the happiness and
health of the race, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. The cheapening of horses,
which will come from the general use
of automobiles, will extend the posi-
bilities of driving to many persons to
whom horses have been hopeless lux
uries heretofore. The bicycle has
already begun that process and many
people in the country now own horses
who could not have done SO at the ex-
allied prices which prevailed ten years
ago The change is bound to go fur
ther, and although it will iniure the
horse breeders it will still leave a mar
ket for horses of blood aud breeding.
The demand which is left will be for
horses of the best quality, and the
good horse will come into more honor
for the qualities which no machines
can possess. and the poor horse will
no longer be worth his keep when the
automobile shall have been made cheap.
So long as these machines cost from
$500 10 $4,000 each the horse need not
fear their competition outside tue
/. busiest Of city streets.

JInINEZ IN CUSTODY.
The Aspirant TO the Presidency Of
San Domingo Is Arrested
In Cuba.


A special from Havana says: In
view Of the fact that Colonel Bacallao,
chief Of tho secret police, persisted in
his declaration that General Juan
Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the
presidency Of santo Domingo, was in
Havana, either not having left or
having returned, the military authori-
ties telegraphod to Cieniuegos in
struoting Capt. Stamper, collector Of
customs, to ascertain whether Jimi-
nez was on the Menedez steamer and
to take him under arrest II that should
be the case.
Just as the steamer was about leav-
ing Cieufuegos, Captain Stamper To-
Gated Jiminez and arrested him. Jim
inez denounced the arrest as an out
rage. lie said that he had broken no
law and would not yield except TO
force. Captain stamper replied that
he was ready to use force If necessary
and Jiminez then yielded, remarking
that he did so only because he could
not help himself.
Senior Frias, mayor Of Cienfuegos,
refused to make the arrest, claiming
that General Jiminez was an old per-
sonal friend whom he had known in
timatoly for years. When Jeminez
was taken into custody, Senior Frias
was found with a police inspector, In
close conversation with Jiminez and
the latter's secretary. 1t is believed
the mayor was urging him to leave the
steamer, to conceal himself and wait
for a better opportunity. Captain
Stamper informed Jiminez that he
would make him as comfortable as
possible, aud after Jiminez aud his
secretary had packed their trunks
they we're accompanied by the chief
of police and Captain Stamper to the
Union hotel, where two bedrooms and
dining room were placed at their dis
posal.
General Jiminez will be kept under
police charge until further advices are
received from the governor general.
There is much excitement among the
people of Ceinfuegos over the affair.
The sentiment is generally expressed
that the authorities had no right to ar.
rest Jiminez, an unnrmed citizen, 60
ing apparently to Santiago de Cuba,
and the point is even made that, even
if he were going to San Domingo, he
would only be returning to his native
country.
