Sunday Rehearsal.

The second Of the winter series CT re-
hearsals by the Opera House orchestra,
attracted a large number of lovers Of
good music to the Arion last night.
The programme heretofore published in
the Register, was carried out, and each
number was rendered in the artistic
manner for which the orchestra is no.
ted. The Lexington" march, so p7p-
ular in the East, was a gem. Mr.,
J. Yahn's trombone solo was ia excel
lent feature. The gems from Victor
Herbert's new opera. The Singing
Girl" were well received. One of the
best numbers was the two-step which
concluded the programme. The passive
members of the Opera House orchestra
are enabled through the medium ofthese
Sunday night rehearsals, to ne. only
crafty a taste for the highest Class of
orchestral music, but o become famil-
lar with the latest compositions.

FOR DEWEY DAY.

straSlOn n Big Success.
TIL general committee in charge of
the arrangements for Dewey Day has
not yet been called to meet, but meet
ing will be held some day this week. at
which some definite plans will doubt

InasmUch as. the big feature of the
Dewey celebration will be the street
parade, the committee might act favor
ably upon this suggestion from a mem
Der of the Knights of St. John:-That
a general committee be appointed, to
consist Of one or two members of each
society in Wheeling, to have charge of
the arrangements for the parade. The
representatives of each organization
would endeavor to work up an interest
In the order, inviting out-of-town
lodges or societies, ETC. The knights
of Pythias representatives would en-
deavor to get many visiting lodges,
for example; the Knights of st. John
committee would solicit the co-opera-
tion of Communicates in neighboring
/. towns, and SO on.
In this manner it might be possible
to create such a rivalry among the diff
ferent secret and marching orders, as
would insure creditable displays by
each, and result in the biggest parade
ever witnessed in this city.

William J. Corners, of Buffalo, has
been in consultation here with some
of the largest grain shippers OF Chica-

With these elevators there is to be

in length, 43 feet beam and drawing
IA feet of water through the canals.
Through the open water months they
will be engaged for the greater part
in carrying grain from the various lake
ports to Montreal, but in winter they
will be employed both in coast trade
and in carrying grain to Liverpool.
Mr.. Corners expressed the opinion the
project would be in operation by July

say have the support of all the large
grain interests of Chicago and Duluth.
The Montreal route will afford an all
waterway to the sea, which can COM
pete with the railroads because of its
cheapness. Montreal is 800 miles near
er Liverpool than is New York, a de-
cided advantage.
Besides the three elevators at Mon
treal we expect to build an elevator of
100000 bushls capacity at Port Col
borne, Ont, sixteen miles from Buffalo,
and through grain going to Montreal
in large cargoes will be broken there.
During the season just ended only
little more than z1,00U,000 bushels OF
the vast amount of grain which came
to Buffalo from the west by lake and

surgents had repeatedly fired upon the
town. Captain Coghlan now ordered
the Spaniards to embark on the Fill
pinas. When they protested he said
that although in the hands of the In
surgents they would be treated az
American prisoners.
Nine civilians, all merchants, were
placed ON board the Filipinas and de-
spite their protests, were kept impris-

Senior Rosello, who is chiefly respon-
sIble for the foregoing statement, ad-
mits chat, except for one attemp. to rob
the merchants, for which Aguinaldo
punished the officers of the Filipinas
by reducing them, all were well treat

Col. Del Rio, in a separate statement,
says:
Captain Coghlan gave his word that
our equalization would be accepted as
1t was made, that is, to the Americans.
He promised that we should not be
given into the hands OF the insurgents
and | believe he was sincere.
Later. the Concord went to Cavite
for instructions, returning with an or
der from Admiral Dewey that we were
to be handed over to the insurgents"
Col. Del Rio and Senior Rosello de-
clare that the Irene left her anchorage
at o'clock in the morning and that
the American warships arrived at half
past ten, passing the German cruiser
as she was leaving the bay. They ex-
press surprise at the popular belief
that the Irene slipped her cable on the
appearance of the Concord and the
Raleigh.

MARCHED IN THE DARK.

MOLTENO, Cape Colony, Sunday,
December 10, $50 p. m.-Gen. Gaia
cre's movement may be termed re-
connaissance in force. Its object was
to ascertain the strength of the position
of the Beers, who were strongly en-
trenched along the Stormberg range.
He left Putter's Kraal shortly after
noon yesterday with fighting force
slightly over 1000 men.
leaving Molteno at 9 o'clock last
evening he made memorable night
march over the rocks and veldt. There
was no sound except steady tramp
and there were no distinguishing
lights. The bright moon having gone
down about half-past II.
The column arrived safely within a
couple of miles of its destination, the
only incidents of the march being an
occasional sudden call of halt" under
the belief that the Beers were near.
Suddenly terrific fire opened stimuli
tanously on the British front and right
flank. The Royal Irish Rifles, which
formed the advance, sought shelter be-
hind neighboring kopje and were
speedily joined by the remainder of the
column. 1t was soon found, however,
that this position was also covered by
Boer guns which were more powerful
than had been supposed. The troops
therefore sought safer position about
half a mile away, two batteries in the
meantime engaging the Beers and COW
ering the troops in their withdrawal.
The action now became general at
long range and detachment of mount
ed infantry moved northward with
view of getting on the enemy's right
flank. Suddenly strong commando
was seen moving from the north and
the Royal Irish Rifles and the North
cumberland regiment were sent out to
meet it. 1t was soon discovered, how
ever, that the Beers had machine guns
well placed, and the British We're COM
PEELED to face a terrific fire.
Finding it impossible to hold the pc
sition in the face Of an enemy appar
emily superior in position, numbers
and artillery, the British retired on
Molteno, the Beers following UP the
retirement closely and bringing two
big guns to bear on the retiring col
unln.
1t is believed here that the British
casualties were not serious.

BRADFORD, Pa, December TO-
The nitro glycerine magazine of the
Pennsylvania Torpedo Company, loca-
ted in Bolivar Hollow. one and a half
miles from this city. blew up to-day
with report that was heard for thirty
miles. The shock was felt at Olean.
Salamanca, Ellicottville and other sur
rounding towns. The magazine was
blown to atoms and hole made in the
earth fifteen feet deep by thirty feet
in circumference. Trees were torn into
splinters at the scene of the explosion
and the brick of which the magazine
walls were constructed was reduced to
reddish powder, which covered the
snow over a wide area Much damage
was done in the city and vicinity by
the breaking OF glass, overturning of
chimneys, etc. 1t is not believed any
one was killed. An oil stove, fed au-
tomatically, is believed to have caused
the explosion.

q MILLION DOLLARS



Yesterday MornInE.
AUGUSTA. Ca. December 10.-A fire
which had its origin in a dry goods
store here shortly after o'clock this
morning, burned four nours and laid
waste a solid block in the center or
the business portion of the city. The
damage will approximate $4,000
There were no casualties. The flames
were discovered on the scond floor of
the big wholesale and retail dry goods
store of ]. 5. White, and by the time
the fire department had responded TO
the alarm. the flames were beyond con-
troll. Chief Roulette sent in a general
alarm, and seeing that the entire de-
partment would have great difficulty
in conquering the fire, wired Macon and
Savannah for help. The Arlington
Annex and the stores beneath it, all a
part of the Old Central Hotel property,
abutted the store CT J. B. White on the
uptown side, and all were involved in
the first onslaught of the flames after
getting outside of Whites big store.
Next came Masonic Hall, handsome
three-story building, occupied by Offices
and lodge rooms. Into this the flames
ate their way from the rear. Soon
the structure was thoroughly ablaze,
and it was seen that there was no
longer any possibility that the Ar
lington Hotel could be saved. AS soon
as the fire was discovered the guests
of the Arlington were awakened. There
was much excitement in the hotel.
Guests, bewildered at the noise and
glare of the flames, ran hither and
thither, apparently dazed. All made
their escape by the stairways. Many
commercial men stopping at the hotel
lost hundreds of dollars worth of sam
pies which had been displayed. The
guests, however, managed to save
most of their effects The smaller
buildings occupied by John Dorr,
clothier; Rice & O'Connor, furnish
Walker, furnishings, were quickly de-
stroyed and their contents lost. The
fire soon communicated to the Schnei-
der building, across Eighth street and
on the next block, but after hard work
the progress of the fire was arrested
here. The entire block bounded by
Broad and Ellis and Seventh and
Eighth streets, was devastated. The
following are the principal losses; ]. B.
White, building and stock, $4,000;
Arlington Hotel, 100000; John Dorr,
building and stock, $4,000; Masonic
hall, $4,000; Rice & O'Connor, $4,000;
Louis Schauell, jewelry, $4,000; Null
larkey & Sullivan, $4,000.
The losses of twenty-five other bus
mess men range from $1,000 to $4,000
each. The origin of the fire is not
known, but the blaze is supposed to
have been started from an electric
light wire. Chiefs of the Savannah
and Macon fire departments arrived
after record breaking trips.

The conservative Republicans of Sa'
lem are working hard 10 repeat the cam
paign for business administration OF
our city affairs. Some Of the best and
most intelligent Republican leaders and
businessmsn IN have led off in this work as
they did In 1893 for an anti-push anti
ring board Of aldermen, and the leaders
Of the Union forces will no doubt again
sustain them.
II Ia complimentary to the intelligence
and patriotism OF this community that
such men--all positive men and strong
partisana when II comes TO state and
national campaigns--should lay aside all
party spirit and unite to put the fnan-
cial and administrative affairs OF the
Capital City on firm foundation and
absolutely ont Of reach OF grating poll
ticiana.
Petitions are being circulated by
leading Republicans for the renomina-
tion and reelection OF Aldermen Bur
rows and Buren, who are not .Republi-
cans. These petitions are being signed
by citizens Of all parties in the First
and Second wards, and that, too, when
both the gentlemen thus honored de-
clared that they did not seek TO be re-
turned TO the council II as good men
can be found In the Third and Fourth
wards they will be petitioned for in like
manner. THK Journal has urged that
Republicans be chosen In the latter
wards who would be acceptable to the
Citizens Union. II seems at this writ
ing that irst-class material for candl-
dates is not lacking and that they will
be petltioned for just as unitedly as Is
being done in the First aud Second
wards.
The citizens committee should follow
up its petitions with an energetic cam
paign. Now Is the time to stamp out OF
existence the pcrnicious machine meth.
ods that have prevailed in our city in
the past. Few people realize how
nearly this city had been forced 10 the
brink Of bankruptcy and the ruin that
follows repudiation when the Republi.
can revolt at Mr.. Bingham's snap pri-
maries took place, aud saved the fair
pane Of this city from financial dis
honor.
A contest would seem almost needless
when Il IL recalled that leaders and
managers Of the old push on every hand
admit that the present administration
has done good work Their highest
promise il 10 follow in lie footsteps il
they are again restored to power.
One Of the old spokesmen, and one
who fought the new order OF things, the
new charter, the home bonds and every /
policy Of the new administration, the
hardest, has recently admitted that ~

is pity all our bonds are not of the
same kind and character"
A former Republican Mayor says II he
had had council such rs the present
TO back him he would have been able
to accomplish something for the city
Chairman Geo. +. Rodgers. Of the Re
publican city committee, limits in an
interview just what every good citizen
believes, as follows:
There ls, perhaps, no cltlz en-
who does not agreo with and en-
dorse the policy OF the present city
administration In It's efforts to re-.
duoe the clty's debt and lower the
rate OF taxation, where the public
service Is not impaired thereby"
A list should be made Of every actual
bonahde resident voter in each ward en-
titled 10 vote under the new charter, and
the election laws should be strictly and
fearlessly enforced without fear or favor.
All who are familiar with city politics
know the disgraceful methods employed
TO carry city elections in the past and
they also know who has engaged in such
practices.
The facts OF the city's condition when
the Citizens administration took charge
and n detailed financial statement Of the
past years business transactions, (as
compared with the previous year Of the
Richardson administration should he
placed in the hands Of every voter be-
fore election. A campaign OF educa.
tion will alone prevent the city govern
ment relapsing into machine rule, with
all its train Of extravaganza and demor-
alization.
