 OC?OBER TOWN FRACTIONS.

The little town elections" as they are familiarity known will be held Mon- day next, October ?, in all excepting six of the 16S towns In Connecticut. The exceptions are Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport Ansenla, Derby and Nau- gatuck, the elections of town officers in those cities being held conjointly with the city elections on other dates, usually during the spring months.
 Mondays elections will be only for the choice of local officials and what ever of political interest may arise in the several communities will relate chiefly to partisan success in choosing a majority of the officials constituting the board for the registration of voters -tbe seleetnen and town clerk.
 No constitutional amendment is to be voted on this year. The last one before the people for approval, impos- ing upon electors the requirements of ability to read the English language, was approved at the october elections in 1S97 and is now Article 29 of our much-amended and bepatched organic law. The two constitutional amend ments for the plurality election of state officers and increasing the senatorial districts, which were passed by the house last winter will need concurrent action by the general assembly of 1901 and will not reach the epople at the polls until October of that year.
 Town clerks are to be elected this year under the law providing for their biennial election. In 1901 and there after, town treasurers will also be chosen for terms of two years.
 The license issue will be fought out again in seventy towns, or more. In many of the rural towns, which are mo- license this question is not voted on annually, and the same Is true as to about thirty of the license towns. In these cases the last preceding vote on the question governs. There are now v license and 91 no-license towns. The gain for the no-license column in the October election Of 1898 was four.
 The question of consolidation of school districts will also be an issue in many towns next Monday. More than half of the towns in the state now have the town instead of district system.

 and the Thirty-sixth infantry, under Colonel J. IT. Bell, with one gun accom- panied General Macarthur from San Antonio.
 Both columns covered the eight miles and struck the town at o'clock, and opened brisk fire, which was replied to by the enemy for half an hour. Then the insurgents fled and the Americans marched over their trenches and took possession of the place.
 Just before the fight Lieutenant Col onel Smiths command, the Twelfth in- fantry, at Angeles, made a demonstra- ton by firing artillery up the railroad track.
 Colonel Liscom of the Ninth infantry reported one casualty, and Colonel Bell reported four men of his regiment, the Thirty-sixth, wounded. The artillery did not have any men injured.
 6:O5 p. m. m.-To-day's movement was a strategical success, and resulted in the possession of Porac and the closing of several miles of country thereabouts. The two columns, from Santa Rita and San Antonio, united before Porac, &C., cording to programme, stretching around the place for some miles.

STORY OF DEWEY's ASSIGNMENT
How He Came to be Sent to the Asiatic
 Squadron.

How He Came to be Sent to the Asiatic
 Squadron.
 New York, Sept. 2S.--Senator Proctor of Vermont told to-day the story of his interest in having the then Commodore Dewey assigned to the Aslatie squad ron. He said that when the question of a commander for the Asiatic station was under discussion he went to the president to recommend Dewey for the post. q saw the president last Tues day" said the senator, lin regard to this very matter. He remembered the conversation we had quite distinctly and, to my surprise in detail. I had spoken of the fighting qualities of Dew ey and Mr. Mckinley replied, Yes, but all naval officers are fighters Then I said that that was true, but that Dewey was level headed and that he could take care of his country and his countrys interests no matter how far away he might be sent MT Mckinley remembered all this perfectly. This seemed to have some effect on the pres 1dent for he wrote on a card these words: Secretary Long: Assign Com modore Dewey to Asiatic squadron. w. Mex The president placed this note behind his ink stand on his desk. Then President Mckinley said to me: That is fixed. I told Dewey of this soon af- terwards and Dewey said; I will cele- brate this; I'll give you a dinner I told Dewey that he did not owe me any thing, but as he was an old friend of mine I would eat his dinner and I did"
