GEN. RossER TO GOV. ROOSEVELT.

From the New York Herald, June 81:
Governor Roosevelt was greatly pleased
today by the receipt of a letter from
General Thomas l.. Rosser of Char
lottesville, Va, confederate cavalry
leader and long prominent In Demo-
cratic councils. The general announces
his complete conversion to Republican
ism. The letter Is as follows:
l have hitherto been IN. earnest
worker In the ranks OF the Democratic
party, but circumstances and condi-
lions have so changed that cannot af-
fliate with 1t any longer.
naturally came out of the great war
OF the sixties between the states pred
JUDGED, and II was easy to believe all
the charges of evil that were made
against the party which | had antago-
nized as a soldier. Though a boy, I was
not a secessionist, but in the fierce and
bitter fight that followed became
thoroughly saturated with It's venom.
When war was declared against
Spain In 1888 the fear that my country
was In danger passed through me like
an electric spark, clearing my vision
and revealing the follies behind which
| had been sulking. That the South Is
unanimous in It's political opposition to
the North cannot satisfactorily be
ascribed to my mind to a difference In
primary belief. but Is founded solely on
a blind prejudice which all candid
citizens should spurn.
II the North a prosper-and Il does
under Republican administration-the
South would blush to admit that she
cannot do the same, for she had equal
opportunities. To say that Republicans
alone are dishonest, and that Demo-
Gratis alone are honest, Is foul black
guardism.
most heartily approve the admins
tration OF President Mckinley, and
shall do all In my power to insure his
election to the high Office he now holds.
and. fully approving your political and
admiring your military record, I re-
toice personally, and congratulate our
country In securing your services as
our vice president.
! believe that 1t plants your feet
firmly In the certain road to further adj
vancement for you and additional pros
perity for our country.
Thomas r. Rosser.
Charlottesville, Va.
The governor regarded the letter as
on Index OF a strong and growing senti-
ment In the South, and Said that II was
very gratifying to him to have such
confirmation Of his belief that there Ia
coming to be a decided change OF feel
ing In the South.

Ninth Infantry Came Near Reing
Wiped ont.
New York. July 21.-The Evening
World publishes the following from
it's Tien Tsin correspondent under
date of Chefoo, July 10:
"The attack on the native city on
the 18th resulted in a narrow escape
from what seemed up to midnight to
be terrific disaster for the allies. The
Russians swung north, the other allies
south. At daybreak the Russians
were to take the forts near the wall
and the other allies the city itself.
General Fukushina, Japanese COM
mander, promised the japanese engi-
neers hat after three hours shell fire
from all guns they would cross the
bridge over the moat before the wall,
blowing up the south gate and max
ing Il breach for the infantry TO enter.
Upon this depended everything. The
Chinese destroyed the bridge and
flooded the land around il. Theyallies'
shell fire in no wise subdued the Chi
nose rife fire from the loopholed wall,
which was thirty feet high, with a
moat twenty feet in depth around it.
An outer wall of mud made it inrpos-
siblc for the infantry or marines com
ing on the field to reply to the Chinese
fire. They lost fifty men in ten min
utes, and then rushed for the mud
wall, which they reached. General
Dorward, the British commander,
fastened forward with the fragment
of his skirmish line. The American
marines and WEIGH fusiliers under
command of Waller were on the eX-
IRENE left. The British marines and
the French advanced with the Japan
csc along the road toward the gate in
the mud wall.
Somebody B~luDdered.
Forwards plan, for the Americans
to support the japanese, was not
made clear to Colonel Liscum. Dor
ward lays the blame for the blunder

The committees labors had been ar
duous and its efforts to dispense JUS
tice strenuous. At last the final reso-
luton was rushed through, and the
committeeman waited for the formal
adj ournment.
Suddenly there rose on the Silly air
the sound of the voice of rejoic-
ing. a rich, manly voice it was, and
for purposes of narration of barytone
quality:
Ia the morning-in the morning
In the morning by the bright light
When Gabriel blows his trumpet In the
morning.
The voice was Senator Thurston's.
For a moment the committee rose TO
it's feet aghast. Then it caught the

One of the most striking peculinri-
ties OF the attendance in the public
schools OF Manila Is the great excess
of boys ove girls, this being true Of
the high schools as well as Of those
of lower grade. 1t is n manifestation
of the local belief that, while educa-
ton may be desirable for boys, it is Of
little use for the girls. All they need
10 know is their catechism. This dis
parity In the school attendance of the
sexes may be lessened, however, be-
fore the next school term, as the au-
thorities are planning for n system of
compulsory attendance.

tacle. Certainly South Dakota Is

The staff correspondent Of the Chi

Kansas City, and 1t looks as II there
was a good deal Of truth in it: 1T Is
a significant fact above all other things
here, that not one representative o.;
delegate In a hundred seem to have the
slightest hope OF success at the polls
next November, but all Of them are en-
gagged with the utmost good humor in
digging what they frankly declare to be
the deepest kid of a grave for William
jennings Bryan and his hobby"
This is the real ticket nominated at
Kansas City, and this sums the plat
form: Colonel William Jennings Bryan
Is leading the Democrats charge
straight for bankruptcy. His an
nounced platform looks this way.
Bankruptcy through free silver coin
age, bankruptcy through irr sdeemabla
paper money substituted for a sound
bank currency, bankruptcy through he
attack on q decision OF the supreme
court, bankruptcy through the attcck
on values, contracts and property in
volved by this policy OF free silver, free
currency and a free license for taxing
any property congress seeks to tax.
Bryan and bankruptcy is the ticket
which Kansas City is opposing to Nc
Kinley and prosperity.
