When Dewey Went.

Thrice during the two days given to
him Dewey wept, says a writer in Les
lies Weekly, in description of the
reception in New York. First, when he
was presented with the flag that once
floated over Farragut. Second, when,
during the naval parade. he looked from
the Olympia over the great assemblage
Of vessels crowded with cheering men
and women. He then seemed to realize
for the first time the profound charac-
ter of the feeling which he had inspired.
Several times he raised his handker-
chief to his eyes, and men who had
known him for the greater part of his
career said they had never before seen
him so moved. Third, when he sudden
ly came into view Of the 2,300 school
children on the great stand in Seventy
second street. The children had
grouped themselves In blue letters fif-
teen feet high. forming the word Dew
ey," on white ground. Led by Frank
pamrosch, they Joined in a mighty
chorus as the procession passed. Dewey
halted in front of the stand and stood
up, hat in hand, bowing his gratitude.
For a few moments he TODD thus,
bareheaded, the tears II '.xling down
his face.

Horse nreut for Chicago.

Milwaukee special Chicago Inter
Ocean: The sale of horse flesh as hui
man food Is legal under the laws OF
the state Of Wisconsin and the ordi-
nances of the city of Milwaukee. When
1t was discovered recently that horses
were being killed and their flesh made
into sausage and sold, the health de-
partment endeavored to get sufficient
evidence against the people doing the
business to warrant prosecution.
Then 1t was found that the city ordi-
nance was ineffective and an appeal
was made to the state dairy and food
commissioner, H. G. Adams. His re-
ply has been received. and he says
that under the state law there is no
remedy. The men who are engaged
in slaughtering played-out horses say
they ship the meat to Chicago, where
it is principally used on saloon free
lunch counters.

Put Out of Action,

Pretoria, Dec 12.-The following of
fetal announcement has been made:
General Cronje reports that yesterday
there was desultory fighting till
when heavy cannon fire was renewed.
The Scandinavians stormed difficult
position but it became untenable and
they suffered severely. / was unable
to send help. The British were in over
whelming force but must have had at
least 1000 men put out of action, either
in killed or wounded.
Another official report from Captain
Finnhart says: There were no signs
of surrender. the burghers fighting
with conspicuous bravery and main
tanning their positions under heavy
British fire. Our cannon We're of very
little use
The British were greatly assisted by
balloons. Twenty-four ambulances
were working backward and forward
between the fighting line and the
enemy's camp. Our loss is not definite
ly known. / estimate it at 100 killed
and wounded.
"A telegraph operator at the Modder

ENGLAND DEPRESSED
OVER BULLER'S DEFEAT
The Most Serious Disaster Since the
Indian Mutiny.

London, Dec. 16, 4:30 a. m--The news
of General Buffers reverse was re-
ceived so late that newspaper comment
today is confined to perfunctory eX-
fressionS of extreme regret and dis
appointment, and OF the necessity OF
calmness and redoubled efforts to re-
trieve the position. This latest check is
regarded as the most serious event in
Great Britains military history since
the Indian mutiny. The Standard says:
General Buffers dispatch is deplor-
able reading. 1t is the now familiar
story of concealed Beers and OF British
troops marching up blindly almost to
the very muZZles of the enemy's rifles.
1t cannot be doubted that the moral ef-
feet will be 10 aggravate our difficult
ties over the whole field OF operations.
The country has discovered with an
noyance and surprise that subduiEg
Boer farmers is about the hardest work
we have entered upon since the Indian
mutiny Their commandments have
shown themselves able to give our gen
erals useful but expensive lessons in
modern tactics.
The Times says: Since the day of
the Indian mutiny the nation has not
been confronted with SO painful and
enxious a situation. Plainly. General
Buffers advance is paralyZed for the
moment as completely as Lord Methu-
ems and General Gatacre's."
The depression over the defeat Of
Great Britain's trusted ana idolized
commander is all the greater as. dur
ing the last forty-eight hours, there
had been reports of the relief Of Lady
smith. Yesterday the war Office al
lowed il to be understood that the po-
sition Of affairs in Natal was entirely
satisfactory. The reaction is all the
more pronounced on this account.
The gloomy information came too late
10 reach the service clubs, and only a
few journalists and stragglers were
waiting at the war office. II had hard
j. been realized until now. even after

Offer Silver For Sale.

Mr.. Bailey declared that the logical
outcome of this bill would be to make
the millions of silver impounded in the
treasury into the open market and sell
it as Germany had done. If the sup
porters of the measure were honest
and consistent they would thus ofrer
the silver for sale now, as that would
be the inevitable fate of silver under
this bill He compared the apprecia-
ton of gold values and the correspond
ing depreciation OF cotton and wheat
Mr.. Bailey closed his speech with
stirring tribute to the time-honofed and
undying Democratic organization which
evoked applause from tie Democratic
side.
Immediately following Mr.. Bailey
came a statement of -. Scudder

Mr.. Scudder said the main feature. eS-
tablishing a gold standard and giving
stability to values commended his sup
port.
Mr.. Payne On. W. said Mr. Bailey
had discovered nothing in the cold law
fixing the gold standard. The trouble
had been to have gentlemen On the
Democratic side accept that law and
the purpose of the present bill to re-
place the subject beyond further doubt
and misconstruction.
A Progressive Party.
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.). said the Republican
party was a progressive party: il was

Spouse to unfavorable reference which

the experience of the weel, that Gen
eral Butler could fail.
Virtually nothing had been allowed
to leak through regarding his fDrepara-
tions, but the public waited patiently,
in the confident belief that he was taxi
ing such time and precautions as would
ensure success.
No independent reports of the en-
gagement have yet been allowed to
come through. but General Buffers own
dispatch tells the sad tale in sufficient
outline to show that the British have
been entrapped again by the astute
Beers. 1t was not anticipated that
General Butler would make a frontal
attack. No criticisms of his movements
are made, however. since. apparently.
he suffered a repulse rather than a de-
feat, and did not push the attack home,
but broke ii off in the middle SO as to
save a useless sacrifice of life. 1t is
expected that he will renew the attack
shortly.
Immediately on receiving the nf s
the war office decided to mobilize sdll
another division, and to replace the
losses of artillery. The necessary rein
forcements will be hurried off as speed
lily as possible. Fifteen transports are
due to arrive at Cape Town between
Dec. Il and Jan. S, with about 5000
troops of all arms, but unless General
Butler is able to renew the attack,
