In President Mckinley, the
people have a man of high char
acter, unsullied reputation, un
swerving patriotism, anda strong
er candidate than he was in 1896,
becahs his remarkable exper-

have representative of the stall

man and come here to investigate
some of the leads in this country.
He had an assay OF sample sent

This is good enough for the Cim-

to find large quantity of such

In view OF Mr.. Bryan's remark
that the democratic party would
be willing to take the votes of all
the people who have not had their
share OF prosperity, and leave the
Republicans the votes of the peo-
pie who had been prosperous, we
wonder if he will vote for Nc
Kinley for President this year.
In 1896 the assessed valuation OF
Mr.. Bryan's property was only
s27O; this year 1t was $4,55O,
showing that general prosperity
has visited Colonel Bryan. AS
he is one OF the prosperous ones,
he shoald certainly vote for Mr..
Mckinley.

BRYAN IN NEW ENGLAND.

Addresses Rhode Island Democrats al
Pawtucket, Woonsocket and Providence.
PROVIDENCE, Jan. 30.-Colonel Will.
lam j. Bryan yesterday began weeks
tour of New England for the purpose Of
discussing the questions Of the day,
speaking three times, at Pawtucket and
Woonsocket in the afternoon and this
city in the evening. AS the state Of
Rhode Island is just on the eve Of a
gubernatorial campaign which will close
with an election in April Mr.. Bryan's
coming is timely for the Democratic
party. His chief address in Infantry
hall is considered the first of series of
rallies arranged by the Democratic
state committee in its effort to carry the
state. Moreover, as the legislature
meets today, the gathering brought to-
gether prominent men of both big
parties from all over the state to hear
the doctrines of Jeffersonian Democracy
expounded by national Democratic
leader. The speech of last evening, the
third delivered by the colonel within six
hours, like the two previously given,
was listened to by an audience that
taxed the capacity of the hall to the ut
most. There was plenty Of music and
enthusiasm. Congressman Lentz OF
Ohio also made a ringing speech at the
meetin hereg.

which even Gen. Buffers warmest
admirers hold should have been ascer.
tanned before he attacked.
One comforting feature of the situa-
ton, however, is the fact that Gen.
Buffers retirement across the Tugela
was accompanied without loss, which
puts an end to the unpleasant rumors
that were in circulation here and on
the continent. The splendid gallantry
of the men in capturing Spion kop is
read of with great pride and satisfac.
ton. 1t Is taken AS an assurance of
the ultimate success of British arms.
The war Office does not give any idea
of the casualties in taking and holding
Spion kop. but a report from the Boer
headquarters near Ladysmith via Lor-
EMO Marquez, says that 1,5OO British
dead were left on the battlefield. The
number IS thought to include the
/ wounded.
The report also stated that Gen Bull
ler had been down with fever, but had
recovered.
If the Boer reports are to be credited
abandonment of Spion kop was due to
the inability of the British to resist the
Boer attack, the Beers carrying the
first trenches and taking $50 prisoners.

the Fight on the Hill.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-A special dispatch
from Frere camp, dated Jan 26, SAYS:
81 have just ridden. i'll here. having left
General Buffers forces in the new posi-
tions south Of the Tugela, to which they
retired in consequence of the reverse at
Spionkop. The fighting both before
and after the occupation of the noun
tain, was of q desperate character.
Spionkop is o precipitous mountain,
overlapping the whole line of kopjes
along the upper Tugela. On the east
.ern side the mountain faces Mount Alice
and Potgieter's drift, standing at right
angles to the Boec central position and
Lyttleton's advanced position. The
southern point descends in abrupt steps
to the lower line of kopjes. On the
western side, opposite the right outposts
OF Warren's force it is inaccessibly
steep until the point where the mex
joins the kop to the main range. Then
there is d gentle slope which allows easy
access to the summit.
"The nell was strongly held by the
Beers, who also occupied a heavy spur,
parallel with the lSopie where the en-
enly was concealed in no fewer than 35
rifle pits, and was thus enabled to bring
to bear upon our men damaging cross
fire, the only possible point for British
attack being the southern side, with
virtually sheer precipices on the left
right. A narrow foot path, admitting
men in single file only to the summit
opens into a perfectly fat tableland,
probably of 300 square yards territory,
OH which the Beers had hastily COM
menced to make a transverse trench.
Our men We're able to occupy the fur
ther end OF this tableland, where the
ridge descended to another fiat, which
was again succeeded by a round, stony
eminence held by the Bosrs in great
strength.
The ridge held by our men was
faced by number of strong, little
kopjes ut all angles, whence the Beers
sent Il concentrated fire from their rifles,
supported by Il Maxim Noidenfeldt and
big long range gun. What, with the
rifles, the machine guns and ti1e big
gun, the summit was converted into n
perfect he'll. The shells exploded con-
0inually III onr ranks and the rifle fire.
from an absolutely unseen enemy, WAS
perfectly appalling. Reinforcements
were hurried up by General Warren,
but. they had to cross strstch of flat
ground, which was literally torn up by
the flying lead of the enemy The un-
finished trench OH the summit gave
very questionable shelter, as the enemy's
machine guns were SO accurately trained
upon the place that often 16 shells fell
in the trench i'll a single minute. Mortal
man could not permanently hold such
a position. Our gallant fellows held it
tenaciously for "a hours and then, talk
ing advantage of the dark night, aban
doned it to the enemy"

The usual airy attempts to minimize
the seriousness of the situation in South

frankly acknowledged that the most
serions effort of the present war has dis
mally failed. There is no sign of a
wish on the part Of the leaders of public

on the contrary, there is every DISPOSE
