Anticipation Was an Issue In the
Eighth Missouri.

Eighth MissOuri.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Jefferson City, Mo-, last night says:
At a special election held today in the
eighth congressional district of Missouri to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Richard P. Bland, Judge Dorsey w. Shack
elford, democrat, was elected over John W.
Vosholl, republican, by plurality of from
1000 to $500. About three-quarters of
full vote was polled.
The result is distinct victory for the
anti-expansion forces, as the battle was
fought along that line. The republican can
dfdate threw down the gauntlet and in his
speech strongly upheld the republican poll
cy in the Philippines The democrats Wig
orously opposed the expansion and imperi-
alistic trend as advocated by the republican
nominee.

Compared with Foreign Ships


The speed attained by the Alabama puts
her well to the front among the world s
battle ships. She is the fastest completed
battle ship in the United States navy, her
nearest competitor as to speed In that
class being the Oregon, whose maximum
record on her trial trip was 16 rs knots an
hcur The kearsarge, Kentucky Illinois;
ana Wisconsin, now nearing completion
may exceed this record
The fastest battle ships in the British
navy are of the type of the Formidable
with speed of Is knots. Britain how
ever, has number under construction or
planned which are to have a speed of IS "a
knots at least. or it is hoped, even 81
knots These include the Albion, Canopus
Ocean, Glory and Vengeance The displace-
ments of the biggest British battle ships
are greater than that of the Alabama,
which is 11.525 tons. Some of them run up
to as much as 1900 tons.
The St. Louis and Charlemagne are the
highest type of French battle ship, each
having displacement of II 200 tons and a
speed of Il knots.
est battle ship. launched last year, has
1891 tons displacement and a speed of
II IL knots.
GermanyS fastest battle ships the Ersatz
Friedrich der Crosse and the Kaiser have
each a speed of IS knots and a displace-
ment of 1900 tons
Italy also has several 1S-knot battle
ships.
1t Is not always the vessel which has the
highest speed record that is fastest in ac-
tuai service. At the naval battle of San
tiago the Oregon excelled in speed Spanish
armored cruisers which were nominally
much faster

LIEUT. conNELL's RESIGNATION
He Gives Up His Position to Promote
HARMONY In His Company.

Lieutenant James Council, of Company
K, Fourth Regiment, caused some sur
prise a few days ago when he resigned
his position without any apparent cause
1t now leaks out that there has been
much feeling among some Of the members
of Company K over the manner in which
Lieutenant ConneIl secured his promotion
to the position Of First Lieutenant.
When the Fourth New Jersey Volunteer
Regiment was organized, Second Lieuten-
ant Harry Barck Of the same company
Joined the volunteers. Connell was then
a Battalion Sergeant Major. He was sub-
~sequently elected First Lieutenant over
Barcks head while the latter was in
camp. Since the oluntee were mus
tered out, there has been some feeling
among the men who went to camp and
those who stayed at home. Lieutenant
ConneH became aware that his sudden
promotion was likely to cause trouble
among the members, SO he handed in his
resignation to Captain Steigleiter, saying
that Barek was entitled to the position.
The Captain prevailed upon Council to
accept the position OF Second Lieutenant
under Barck, providing the latter should
be elected. This Cornell said he would
do. There will probably be an election
in a few days to straighten out matters.
Council has won many friends by his
sacrifice, besides promoting harmony IN
Company KS ranks

WORD FROM THE PHILIPPINES.


Mr.. James H. Merriman, of Newark
avenue received a letter, a few days
ago. from Private Charles B. Ward of
Company E, -Twenty-second Regiment,
United States Infantry, now stationed in
the Philippines. Private Ward has been
in the newly acquired territory since his
country began its lar attacks on the
insurgents.
The regiment was stationed in San Fer
nando when the letter was sent, on Au-
gust 25. The sd ldier writes that the regi-
ment was attacked at night and that the
troops in requesting the followers of Agui-
naldo had a HARD fight. One man was
killed in the thirty-hve minute engage
ment. The Insurgents lost at least TWEEN
ty-hve men. The writer says the troops
are constantly advancing but accomplish
ing little.
This would make a beautiful country"
he writes, IF the soldiers were not per-
mitted to destroy everything in sight"
He adds that the Senoritas are beautiful
as well as cultured. In reference to the
mails, he says that they are very irreg-
ular. Macy letters are lost, never to be
heard of again. The soldiers are not all
lowed to send relics in the mail. All COM
municationS are searched.
