WAR CANDIDATE ELECTED.
Former Liberal District Strongly for
the Government

London, May 25-The election for a
member of Commons to represent South
Manchester in place of the Marquis of
Lorne was fought on a Khaki plat
form. and resulted in a very large in
crease of the Unionist vote, the Hon. Will
liam Peel son of Viscount Peel the
Unionist candidate, being returned.
The voting was as follows: Hon. VIII
liam Peel, Unionist, 5.497; L. F. Jones,
Radical and pro-Boer, 3,45S. Unionist ma
jority, 2,039.
South Manchester was undoubtedly q
Liberal district from 1885 until 1895, when
the Marquis of Lorne was elected by a
majority of only 7S The constituency
was formerly represented by Sir Henry
Roscoe, Home Ruler.
Thus both in the Isle of Wight, division
Of Hampshire, where Capt Sealy, Union
ist, was elected by majority of 1852,
and in South Manchester this week, un-
precedentedly large majorities have been
recorded in favor Of the war candidates.
This will strengthen the government in
its alleged determination to force a gen.
eral election before the war fever abates.

COTTON mARKET MORE QUIET.
Recovered Somewhat Though Sales
Continued Heavy.

New York, May 25.-Following the ex-
traordinary excitement in yesterdays cot
ton market, more pacific times prevailed
on the exchange to-day.
There were no further failures and re-
ports reaching the exchange regarding the
outcome of the settlements of the Price,
Mccormick & Co, accounts were of reas-
suring character; although still leaving
the trade In uncertainty, the interests of
the firm being so vast and, almost world
wide.
There was a rally OF 80 points on May
contracts which yesterday declined rs
points. The result of the list recovered
66I2l points with the market finally show
ing a net gain Of 3q22 points including
May.
Trading continued TO be sensationally
heavy, with the Southerners selling on
continued favorable crop accounts while
the operations OF foreigners were heavy
on both sides of the market, though they
figured chiefly as buyers.
The local contingent showed a disposi-
tion to even up their accounts for an un-
prejudiced view in advance of re-enter-
ing the market on a large scale.

Washington, May 25.-Mrs. Greenleaf.
wife Of Col. C. r. Greenleaf, u. s. A.,
has succeeded in opening an American
library In Manila, for the use of the
American soldiers, sailors and citizens
there.
There are about 1900 volumes in this
library, many of them worn and soiled.
but greatly enjoyed by both officers and
men. About ten papers are sent regular
ly from the United States, which are read
at the library, and then sent to the troops
in the field. Ii is the earnest request of
Mrs. Greenleaf that copies of papers from
every part of the United States be sent to
this library
While contributions of books and mag
azines are most acceptable, the financial
question is the serious problem which con-
fronts the library.
The salary of the librarian and the rent
OF the building as well as other expenses
have to be met each month, and n LET
ter from Mrs. Greenleaf, dated March %.
stated that they have only enough money

longer at the most. Unless aid comes
from the United States they will be com
PEELED to close the library, which has been
source of pleasure to the men who are
enduring the hardships of war in a for
eign country.
The Woman's Army and Navy League
an organization composed mainly of the
wives and daughters of officers of the
United States army and navy, has been
appealed TO by Mrs. Greenleaf and it's
members Will act as her representatives
in this country.
Contributions will be received by Mrs

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.
TaIbert of South Carolina Was in
Evidence Again.

Washington, May 25-The House devot-
ed two hours this morning, which belong
ed to the legislative day of Thursday, to
the continuation of consideration of the
Alaskan civil government bill without
completing it.
The session from noon until adjournment
was devoted, under the rule, to private
pension bills. Mr.. Talbert of South Caro-
lima, who abandoned obstructive tactics a
few weeks ago. was egain in evidence to-
day. He INDUCED in some severe criti-
cisms on what he termed the hasty man
ner in which private bills were railroaded
through the House and cited the recent
case of bill granting pension of $72 per
month to Arthur F. Dinsmore, q 1880
clerk in the interior department, who is
also the private secretary of 8. w. Smith
of Michigan a member of the Invalid Pen
sions Committee. The bill, after being
sent to the President, had been recalled.
Later when Smith came into the House.
he made a statement regarding the case
describing Mr.. Dlnsmore's s sufferings from
wounds, and his frequent necessary alb
sence from office without pay, on that
account, and his employment of assistants
to help him in his committee work on
account of his deplorable physical con-
dition.
After others had corroborated this
statement Mr.. Talbert proceeded to charge
the Republican administration with re-
sponsibility for not doing Dinsmore JUS
tice.
After 1870 bills had been favorably acted
upon by the Committee of the Whole, Mr..
Talbert blocked their passage in the
House with the point of no quorum.
Among the bills favorably acted upon
to-day were the Senate bills to pension
the widow of the late Capt. Grldley. who
commanded the Olympia In the battle of
Manila, at $50 per month"; the widow OF
the late Commodore r. w. Meade at $40
per month. and the widow of fhe late
Gen. NJ. F. Force of Ohio at $50 per
month.
At 4:5O p. m. the House adjourned.

day, Mr.. Allison called up the sundry civil
appropriation bill. The bill carried as re-
ported to the Senate, $65,Sl29S0.

were disposed of. Some discussion was
preciptated over a committee amendment
providing that the Secretary OF the Treas
ury should prescribe rules and regulations
for the enforcement of the contract labor
law. and the Chinese exclusion act.
Mr.. Lodge offered amendment pro
viding that the commissioner general of
immigration should prepare the rules AMI
regulations and they should be enforced
after the Secretary of the Treasury had
approved them.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska, opposed the
amendment OF the committee, maintaining
that 1t was a practical notification of the
Chinese exclusion act, and the contract
labor law.

the bin was laid aside until tomorrow.

ADVANCE TOWARD PRETORIA.
Probably Only Two More Pitched
Battles VIII BE Fought.

London, May 25.-Another advance along
the railroad toward Pretoria has brought
Lord Roberts troops to Vredefort road,
few miles north of Prospect, where they
arrived at noon Thursday
Meanwhile, Gen. Methuen Is progress
ing along the southern bank of the Vaal
river, with the object possibly of making
dash at Klerksdorp when he arrives
opposite that railroad terminus.
Gen. Hutton's column is apparently in
'ne neighborhood of Vredefort fifteen
niles west of the railroad. whence it
threatens the federals' right flank.
Inc best opinion is that the next big
engagement will be fought just south of
johannesburg, and that the fight there,
ana possibly one at Laing's Mex will
prove the last pitched battles of the war.
me latest indications almost point to
the latter being the more stubborn of the
tWo. 1t is hoped here that Gen. Butler
VIII delay until Lord Roberts is able to
ue'ecn force to seize Heidelberg and
sever railroad communication between
johannesburg and Laing's Mex.
