ings recently imputed to Senator Proc.
tor by sensational newspaper cores
pondence sustained by the subjoined
letter from the Senator, answering an
inquiry made by the editor of the st.
Johnsbury Republican,:
"There is no truth in the statements OF
my unfriendliness to the administration, or
that the President requested me, when
read to him my remarks about Cuba before
they were delivered, not to deliver them in
the Senate. Nor is 1t true that am trying
to start dewey boom" 1 had under
stood we'll from various sources before he
reached America that the Admiral did not
purpose TO be drawn into politics, and he
has made this statement so freely since he
landed that I supposed it must be general.

to the contrary notwithstanding. 1t is

A Rutland County Candidate.

Still they come. The list of candi-
dates for Representative in Congress
from the first district is illumined by
the addition of the name OF Joel g.
Baker Of Rutland. Col. Baker has
said 10 Herald reporter:
about a month ago prominent lawyer
of Bennington county asked me if 1 would
permit the use of my name before the con-
gressional convention as a candidate for
seriously at that time. During the past
week or two, several persons in Rutland
have asked me to run. 1 answered one OF
them today that I would"
The candidacy of Col. Baker is new
factor in the over the-mountain can
vass, and one which, if pushed, will
have to be reckoned with when the
clans muster for the conflict. AT the
rate the list of candidates is lengthen-
ing, by convention time it is likely to
include the entire voting population of
the district. The solution of the prob
lem thus presented might be the NOM
ination of man from the east side.
And the west side might reciprocate by
providing candidate for its fellow cit
liens of the east. The arrangement
might not be without its advantages.

The Smoke Lifting.

Evidence accumulates that the first
reports of British victories and Boer dis
asters in the fighting around and in the
triangular region in Natal having Lady
smith at the southern angle, Newcastle
at the northern and Dundee at the
eastern, were greatly exaggerated. So
far from President Kruger being ready
for unconditional surrender" the
sturdy old burgher, plug hat and all, is
reported in the saddle, with General
Joubert, the Boer commander-in-c chief,
directing operations against the British.
AS the smoke rises from the
field, and the dust the British chief
commander threw into the eyes OF the
public clears away, it is seen that the
British forces have been compelled to
abandon the north of Natal, in which
the recent battles were fought, and
have with difficulty made their way to
Ladysmith. The Beers occupy the
region their opponents lately held and
proclaim its annexation to the Trans
wal. The Bristish General Yule has
got back to Ladysmith with men COM
pletely tagged out and badly in need of
rest, having had no engagement with
the Beers whom he had been reported
as encountering and defeating.
The heavy losses of the British in
men and officers, particularly the lat
ter, and the circumstance that the Eng
lish commander withdrew from Dun
dee in such haste that he was COM
PEELED to leave his wounded in the
hands of the Beers, are indications that
in rubbing up against their enemy they
have encountered foe who stands his
ground stoutly and shoots straight
The Boer commanders are having their
first experience in handling large
forces, and they are acquiring this ex-
perience in fighting such all antagonist
as the English army. Their previous
encounters with the British, at Laings
Mex, Majuba Hill, and with Jameson's
raiders, were small affairs relatively
and actually. They are experts in the
use of the rife, they are unused to ar
tillery. In the recent battles they
took their first practical lessons in
handling Krupp guns. Their first at
temps were partial failures; their last
showed that they were apt pupils, their
shells landed where they were intended
and Britons testify to the thoroughness
of their work.
Dom Paul is not surrendering just
yet.

Captain Howard.

MANILA, Oct. 25.-The funeral of
assistant quartermaster, Capt. Guy
Howard, who was killed October %
near Arayat, took place today and was
largely attended. A long procession
of troops escorted the body to the
wharf and placed it on board the trans
port Belgian King, which leaves for
San Francisco.
Details of his death have been re.
ceived. The army gunboat Oceania
was towing two cascoes, and Captain
Howard sat in the bow reading. The
day was one of the hottest of the sea-
son. Just north of Arayat, where the
river is very narrow and the high banks
are covered with thick brush, there was
a sudden volley from the insurgents at
close quarters. The Oceania replied
with her machine gun. Capt. Howard
was shot in the right breast, the bullet
severing an artery. He staggered to
the wheel saying: "Whatever happens
keep the launch going" He expired
shortly afterward. Two other mem
bers of the crew were wounded and q
native deck hand was killed. The re-
duced crew kept the launch going and
fought all the way to Cabiao.

Dewey's Home.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The house
on Rhode Island avenue recently pur-
chased for Admiral Dewey by popular
subs cription was formally turned over
TO him today by Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip and United States Treasurer
Roberts of the Dewey home committee.
Mr.. Fitch, the owner, went to the
treasury department this afternoon and
presented him deed which was imme-
diately filed for record. The purchase
price was about $4,000. Two sub
scriptions were received to-day which
completed the payment including the
expenses incident to the project. One
for 81 900 came from Brooklyn and the
other 1915 was received from the
Western Union Telegraph company
The Admiral sent this letter to assistant
secretary of the treasury, Vauderlip,
chairman of Dewey Home fund: 81

deeds to the beautiful house presented
me by my countrymen. My heart is
still full of gratitude to them for this
overwhelming expression of their re.
gard for me, and l request you, also,
TO accept and convey to the committee
my heartfelt thanks for your and their
efforts"

lence has invaded our shores. Liberal en-
ployment awaits upon labor. Abundant
crops have rewarded the eff )rts OF the hus-
bandman. Increased comforts have come
to the home. National finances have been
strengthened and the public credit has been
sustained and made firmer. In all branches
OF industry and trade there has been an
unequalled degree of prosperity, while
there has been steady gain in the moral
and educational growth Of our national
character. Churches and schools have
flourished. American patriotism has been
exalted Those engaged in maintaining the
honor of the flag with such signal success
have been in large degree spared from
disaster and disease. Honorable peace has
been ratified with a foreign nation with
which we were at war and we are now on
friendly relations with every power on
earth The trust which we assumed for the
people of Cuba has been faithfully adj
vanced. There has been marked progress
toward restoration OF healthy industrial
conditions, and under wise sanitary regu-
lations the island has enjoyed unusual ex-
emption from the scourge OF fever.

Admiral Schley or Admiral Sampson,
both of whom have been advanced
from the rank of captain to that of rear

Spanish war, the Ne,cS of Rutland says:
The NeUs wishes to call attention to the
fact that one sailor is being neglected in

cent. The increase in wages paid dur
ing the same period is 81 per cent; the
average wages per capita at the first
named date was S33 SO, at the last,
S36 Sc. March, 1896, was the high
tide Of prosperity under the Democratic
economic policy. Things were worse
later on. Since March, 1899, the tide
of pro perity under the Republican eco
nomic policy and administration has
been rising with every passing month.
This is the argument the Republicans
are addressing to the pockets of the
voters in Ohio and everywhere else in
the Uuion, and in morals as we'll as
dollars and cents. it is very different
sort of an argument from the one with
which Mclean, Democratic millionaire
and INSCRIPTIONS politician, is seeking
to buy his way into the seat of chief
executive power in Ohio, and thence in
Washington.
The Republicans of Ohio ought to
see to it that the cause of national re-
publicanism receives no injury at their
hands in the coming election. 1t
ought not TO be possible for even the
rankest partisanship to extort the
shadow of q rebuke to the administra-
ton from the issue of the election
there.

Illumination and Illustration.

The State House as illuminated on the
night Il the Dewey celebration was some
thing too beautiful for the arts of illustrs-
ton, and particularly OF newspaper illus
tration. The papers which have undertaken
the task have come TO grief and the Gale
DOMAIN is correct in what it says on this
subjec';
II the State House at Montpelier had
looked, illuminated on the night OF Dewey
day, as II is represented TO have looked by
the horrible cuts published in some of the
State papers, every Vermonter would have
hidden his head in humiliation. But it
looked just as much different from that as
possible, and so the people were proud of
1t. 4st why any selt-respe ctng newspaper
can continue to work off such abominable
illustrations on an altogether too long
suffering public is hard to understand.

False Reports.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Fled Mlrsha',
Lord Wolseley, commau der-n-chief OF
the British forces in South Africa, has
apparently been convicted of doctoring
the official reports from the front. The
command9r-in-chi summary read in
the House of Commons yesterday spoke
of General White as having fought
successful action whereas Whites own
occount reduces his movements to their
proper proportions.
The fact that the British were forced
to evacuate the natural triangle formed
by the places named in late accounts of
battles, which the Beers rightly claim
as a conspicuous success, annexing
northern Natal, is proving an unpel-
atable pill to the public whose appetite
had been whetted by previous success
es. These successes have been as
sumed 10 be greater than they really
were as the determi alton and gellan-
try of the Beers enabled them to re-
organize quickly and achieve their de-
sired objects by other methods.
Later estimates of the Boer losses at
Elandslaagte give three hundred killed.
Their GOODNESS, bravery and good aim
can be judged from the fact that out of
seventeen or eighteen officers with
half battalion of Gordon Highlanders
four were killed and thirteen wounded,
while the casualties among rank and
file were twenty-seven per cent during
less than three hours of fighting.
Lieut.. Campbell of the Gordon High
landers has since died from his wounds.
The situation in the west is becom-
ing complicated. The Boer procla.
nations of annexation and claims of
victory at Glencoe are liable to induce
the Dutch to side with their country
men already in the field. 1t is said for
instance that the Boer forces have
evacuated Vryburg which will be gar.
risoned by the local Dutch among
whom are prominent burghers and
government employees. 1t is also be-
lieved that the Dutch beyond Griqua
town are only awaiting encourageme
TO declare for the Transvaal.
The Beers now have nearly 100, 900
men in the field, made up as follows
Boer regulars, $4,000; artillery, 1850;
police, 1850; Orange Free State troops,
including Outlanders, 35,000; Natal
Beers, 5000; BechuanalaDd and Rho.
deslan Beers, 6OO0; foreign legion, 600;
Americans, 1900; German, 5000; Dutch
Belgians, 1000; Irish, 1000; Scandinav-
ians, 600; French, Swiss and Italians,
200. The Jews, it appears, are doing
police work.
The war office returns show that the
British casualties since the beginning
of hostiities reach 597, Is officers hav-
ing been killed and So wounded and 7
men killed and 435 wounded. There
are Ii unaccounted for. This total,
however, does not include the squad
ron of the 18th Hussars which went
astray near Dundee and the officers of
the Dublin Fusiliers. The report of
heavy losses sent from Rietfonten came
as an unpleasant surprise, as General
Whites telegram to the war office yes
terday gave the impression that there
was merely brush.
