If 1t is true, as charged by Senator Pet
tigrew, that Mr.. Cramp, the shipbulder.
was held up for four hundred thousand
dollars for the Republican campaign fund
a few years ago, it certainly is no more
than fair that Hanna and his other friends
should see him through on the armor plate
contracts. To do SO might look little
bit like favoring trusts; but they will
have to be favored or all business conf
dence between principal and agent will
be filled with blow holes.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Chicngo's MayorI excite
ment which for several weeks preceded the
solar eclipse and which continued for
week thereafter took national attention
from the Hon. Carter Harrison and it has
been nearly a month since anything had
been heard of him until a small pocket
knife made its appearance in Chicago.
bearing upon its main blade this inscrip-
ton: Bryan and Harrison" Now, 1t
seems that Harrison has brother-in-law
in Chicago who runs a cutlery store, and
that it was from this shop that the Bryan
Harrison knife was distributed. The link
ing OF the name of Chicago's mayor with
that Of the Nebraskan has revived the
talk in Chicago Of Harrison going on the
ticket with Mr.. Bryan. Nothing is said OF
1t outside Of Chicago. and even the Illinois
Democratic contingent in Washington re-
fuse to discuss it seriously. Still, con-
siderable fuss Is being made over the
knife incident by the Chicago newspapers,
the contention being that statesman's
brotherinlaw Is supposed to know good
deal more about the statesman's aspira-
lions than the public knows or that the
statesman is willing to let the public
know until he is ready to act. So 1t may
be that the young mayor Of Chicago has
designs upon the tail of the ticket, despite
all reports to the contrary. Some of these
reports have had 1t that Harrison was plot
ting against Mr.. Bryan with Admiral
Dewey. and others that he considered 1t
his patriotic duty to serve out his full
term as mayor of Chicago before casting
covetous eyes upon another office. This
is the excuse he gave when two or three
months ago he refused to enter the race
for the gubernatorial nomination in Hi
nois 1t is pertinent to observe that at that
time the Democratic prospects were not
rs bright in Illinois or the nation at
large as they are today. So who knows but
that the brother -in-law who deals in cut
lery did not submit to Mayor Harrison
the design for the inscription upon the
blade of the knife that is now circulating
in Chicago? 1t is conceded that If Mayor
Harrison enters the race for Vice Presi-
dent he will cut considerable of figure
at Kansas City. The Cook County organ
ization is completely in his control. and 1t
is thought that he might be able to man
ipulate the State delegation through his
Cook County machine if he is serious
candidate. Mayor Harrison's standing with
the national managers of the party is high,
and II he could demonstrate his ability
to carry Illinois for the ticket by keep
ing the Democratic vote in Chicago up to
the strength which his municipal cam
paigns have developed, he might easily
gain the second prize at Kansas City IN
July.

Honor to Colonel keren-.-Tbe

Honor to Colonel kerens.-The
Phladelphans are going to show their
gratitude to Col. Dick Kerens, of Missouri,
in great banquet at the club house of
the Young Republicans. on the evening of
the 9th inst They will also present him
a huge loving cup Of gold and silver All
OF this is to be done in recognition of
Colonel Kerens' support of Philadelphia in
the spirited contest in Washington last
winter for the Republican National Con-
vention. Colonel Kerens' town of ST. Louis
was an applicant. So was Chicago. The
Chicago orators poked fun at St Louis, and
Colonel Kerens then and there swore ven
geance on Chicago. He waited until the
balloting got to that point where one vote
was decisive, and this vote gave he to
Philadelphia whereat there was great re-
joicing in the City Of Brotherly Love, and
great sorrow and crashing of teeth in the
Windy City Ever since that memorable
occasion Colonel K,rens' name has been
household word in Philadelphia. and future
generations of Qvlkers will call him
blessed. 1t is. of course. expected that the
dinner to Colonel Kerens will be followed
by a lively Vice Presidential boom for
him but as he was born on the other side
of the Atlantic Ocean, in the vicinity OF
Tipperary, no harm can come OF the BOOM

Looking to Fnirbanks.-Simulta-
neously with the unnecessary announce
ment from Administration circles that
Mr.. Hanna will manage the campaign
there comes d circumstantial story from
various sources that Senator Fairbanks
is the Administration candidate for Vice
President. Several times during the past
month The Times has called attention to
the probability of Mr.. Fairbanks selec-
ton as the running mate, and nothing has
occurred to shake belief in that theory.
Arduous efforts for, variety of reasons
are being made by General Grosvenor and
other fuglemen OF the. Hanna organiza-
ton to create the, impression that the
Dolliver candidacy is a serious PROPOSE
ton, but outside Of very limited circles
these efforts have made no Roadway. 1t
may be that Mr. Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley
would accept the eloquent Dolliyer for
running mate If the right sort OF enthu-
siasm is worked up for him when the
Philadelphia Convention meets. The he
publican managers are aware o. the woe
full lack of enthusiasm at present in the
rank and file OF the party, and there is no
doubt that they would be only too glad to
accept for Vice President anybody who
could arouse a spirit of fervor in the party
following. For this reason nothing is be-
ing done to check or hinder the Dolliver
movement. However. 1t seems to be viz
tually decided that IN default of an I'M
comfortable outburst of enthusiasm at
Philadelphia for Mr.. Dolliver Senator
Fairbanks will be put on the ticket. Col.
Harry New. journalist and statesman, was
in Washington last week from Indianap-
oils, and his return home was marked by
a significant editorial in his newspaper
coupling the name of the atitudinous
Hoosier Senator with the Vice Presidency.
Colonel New admonishes the Hoosiers not
to urge Senator Fairbanks for Vice Presi-
dent. but to leave to him the utmost
freedom in the premises. This is the In
diana way of warning the initiated to
look out for something to happen. Sena-
tor Fairbanks will have a great throng OF
Hoosier rooters at Philadelphia ostensibly
for the purpose of booming him for the
Presidency in 1904. These rooters very
easily can be used for the purpose of
working up that noisy enthusiasm at the
convention which both Mr.. Hanna and Mr..
Mckinley SO very much desire at present.
1t is stated upon excellent authority that
when Colonel New was in Washington he
told the party managers plainly that In
diana was in tickiish condition. and that
it might be necessary to nominate an In
dianian for Vice President in order to
save the State. 1t appears that the dull
HOLSTERS are still unable to comprehend
the manifold beauties of the Oxnardized
Porto Rican bill and continue to ask ques-
lions about that affair.

ing his rear and keeping his connections
with supplies open.
In May 1t was estimated that there were
only 10000 Beers on the fighting lines. At
the same time there were more than 225,-
600 British soldiers in South Africa ac-
cording to statements made In Parliament,
and transports were constantly arriving
with more.
General Roberts reached Brandfort, thir-
ty-three miles north Of Bloemfontein. May
A. The march to Pretoria had begun. On
the zand River. six days later. he reported
the Beers in full retreat. He captured

Then rumors that Mafeking the last Of
the besieged towns. Lad been relieved,
were current. and on the 18th instant, It
was officially announced that II had hap
ened ON the 18th. The siege Of Mafeking
lasted 213 days, and was relieved by Col
onel Mahon's column.
General Roberts march from Bloemfon-
TEN to Pretoria will take rank as a great
military achievement in parity with his
famous movement to Candahar. which
gave him his great rank and title of Lord
Roberts OF Candahar.
On the 18th of March last he prepared
his army at Bl9smfontein for the invasion
Of the Transva&.. and on the Goth OF April
he moved forward, arriving at Brandfort
May 8. On the 9th Of that month he oc-
cupied Smaifdeel and May 10 he arrived
at Ventersbers. On the 18th he occupied
Kroonstad, and this town he resolved to
make his temporary base.
At Kroonstad he gave his men rest,
after a march OF a hundred miles, and
awaited the arrival of stores and re-en-
forcements forwarded by General Lord
Kitchener. At the same time he directed
General French and General Hamilton to
move forward on either flank and hunt up
the enemy.

February 10 General Roberts arrived at

his successful dashes. Kimberley was re-

dispersed the Beers in the neighbo1hood
General Roberts made Bloemfontein, the
Orange Free State capital. his objective
point. and the first decisive victories OF the
British followed. The Beers under Cronje
laagered on February 20 near Paardeburg
on their retreat before General Kelley

erts after being entirely surrounded.
For seven days Cronje his men and
women, withstood an awful bombarG.aent
