Jersey City station when the train rolled
in, waiting to see the admiral and Mrs
Dewey. The boats were coming over with
commuters and there Were more people
outside the fence that separated the train
shed from the general waiting-room. As
the train stopped the admiral rose from
his seat and started with Mrs. Dewey out
of the car. The crowd was waiting for
them down on the platform and as he
stepped down from the car he was
cheered. The men in the crowd all doffed
their hats and the admiral lifted his. As
he walked down the platform additional
cheers and additional greetings were
given. The admiral looked the bride
groom His face was flushed and he
smiled back at the crowd and answered
their greetings by lifting his hat again
and again. Mrs. Dewey also bowed and
smiled.
The station master escorted the couple
from the train to the Twenty-third street
ferryboat. The crowd gave a final cheer
as the admiral and his wife went down
the gangplank to the upper deck OF the
ferryboat and many of them rushed
aboard for moment to get better look
at them. The admiral took Mrs. Dewey
around the deck, outside the big cabin
and stood with her out in front Of the
pilot-house, hoping to be alone. The
crowd of passengers followed. They
gathered in a semi-circle about the newly
welded couple and at times cheere1 the
admiral and his wife.
A newspaper man apologized for int1ud-
ing and remarked that this was an en-
harrassing situation. To this the admiral
assented. He said that he would rather
he excused, under the circumstances
from telling what his plans for the honey
moon were. After five minutes in this
semi of curious people the admiral
and Mrs. Dewey walked into the caoin.
which was almost empty, and sat to-
gether down on one side of the benches,
away back in the stern of the boat They
were alone only few moments, however
Then one by one persons began to walk
around the cabin and to take seats op-
posite In five minutes all the seats were
crowded. The admiral appeared slightly
| embarrassed, but he talked on unccn
cernedly TO Mrs. Dewey, trying, evidently
to appear unconscious of the curiosity of
the other passengers. He took 1t all
good-naturedly.
When the boat reached the Twenty
third street ferry-house the crowd hurried
out to the street in front to see the dis
tinguished passengers walk to their car
riage and to give them another cheer. A
big policeman, learning who was coming,
opened a wide pathway through the
crowd.
The admiral did not come out the way
the crowd expected, however Apparently
he did not attempt to evade the curious
He simply went down with Mrs Dewey

COURAGE is ADMIRED.

CAPE TOWN, Monday, Nov. 6.-There
is no doubt that the feeling prevalent of
admiration for the courage of the Beers
during the recent fighting is a good au-
gury for a future peaceful settlement of
the existing trouble. The Boer prisoners
on the British cruiser Penelope pay high
tribute to the British artillery.
Reports from Kimberley seem to indi-
cate that the investing force has been
greatly weakened for the purpose of send
ing detachments to the eastern and south
ern borders. The threatened widespread
Boer invasion of Cape Colony has not ma
terialized. Doubtless the swollen river
and the possibility of their retreat being
cut off has had some effect.
The work of laying a new cable to St.
Helena will be commenced Tuesday.

Dublin Fusileers under Captain Romero,
sighted near Colenso the Beers in con-
siderable force near the line. The FUsi-
leers Immediately opened a brisk fire. to
which the Beers replied ineffectively, and
as they were suffering loss, they quickly
retired out of sight. But as the train
cautiously advanced. the Beers were
seen moving round on its left flank, their
presumed object being to take the train
in the rear To avoid this the train re-
tired. 1t was seen that the Beers had
no intention of attacking, but were in full
retreat over the road and bridge. I'm

train and entered the town, while the
train slowly advanced to the station.
Several volleys at long range were fired
on the retreatng enemy. The British
also succeeded in entering Fort Wylie,
near Colenso, and brought back four
wagonloads of shells, provisions and
stores

fusion of claims and counter-claims
1 to quiet which the official count or
perhaps a contest before the Leg
islature viii be necessary is all that
is left of Tuesdays election. Above it all
vehement cries of fraud, committed or
contemplated, are heard. Each side claims
the election of it's ticket by a plurality of
about 1000 and presents figures to back UP
the claim. These figures in some counties
vary widely, and 1t is impossible to tell
which side, If either. has accurate returns.
Chairman Long of the Republican cam
paign committee, when asked for an es-
innate of the vote on the Gubernatorial
race, said:
II have no estimate to give, but I can
furnish the actual figures. On the face of
the returns Taylors plurality is 4136 All
the precincts have been heard from.
Twelve counties are not official, includine,
the returns from Kenton and Breathitt -
General Taylor said he was sure of his
eelction by a majority that will not be
less than 1000. General Taylor said that
official and semi-official returns from
nearly every precinct in the State showed
that he had been elected
A special from Frankfort quotes Cover
nor Bradley as saying: Taylor has been
elected by at least 10000 majority and he
will be the next Governor of Kentucky >
On the other hand, returns from Demo-
cratic sources show a plurality on the
face of the returns of about 2OOO for

where the Democrats can hardly do worse
than break even. Mr.. Goebe and Sena-
tor Blackburn in interviews at Frankfort
to-day openly charged the Republicans
with fraud in the Eleventh District, from
which the returns are coming in very
slowly.
The indications point more strongly than
ever to contest before the Legislature
which. there seems no reasonable doubt
will be controlled by the Democrats
Whether or not the members belonging to
that party will stand together on oues-
tions affecting a contest cannot now be
foretold. The county boards of canvass
ers, which meet tomorrow, simply count
and tabulate the returns. The State Board
of Election Commissioners then reviews
the work and decides all questions affect

DEMURRER ENTERED IN BERWIND'S SUIT

John f. Berwlnd, OF this city. as stockholder OF
