The Hon. Francis X Shoemaker
of New Jersey held a large audience
deeply interested for nearly two hours
in Maennerchor hall Saturday night.
No such keen analysis of the political
situation and no such thorough dis
cussion of the issues of the compaign
have in a long time been heard in this
city. Mr.. ~Schoonmaker is an elo-
quent and forceful speaker and he has
a way of putting things that strikes
right to the good sense of the most
sceptical person. Mr.. Schoonmakcr is
a close student If government, of eco
nomic conditions and of all the things
that enter into this important cam
paign.
The meeting was called to order at
s o'clock. after the Kid band had play
ed in front of the hall and inside of it.
In introducing the speaker Eli Crum-
rine briefly called attention to the i'm
p%ortance of this campaign, pointing
out the fact that the only time within
forty years that the democratic party
had had control of the government it
succeeded only in fastening hard times
upon the land. He said the issue was
up to the people and the simple ques-
ton was put to them whether they
wanted a continuation of republican
prosperity or a return to the financial
and business depression that came
with a democratic administration
Long Applause.
Most of the people in the hall had
heard Mr.. Schoonmaker before and
they gave a long round of applause
when he stepped forward to begin his
speech. He is a man considerably
past the middle age and his hair is
completely gray. But he has still the
vigor of youth and the positiveness of
matured manhood. His manner 10
very forceful and convincing. He
made an excellent impression upon his
hearers.
Il want to say to begin with" said
Mr.. Schoonmaker," that | come from a
democratic family and from a demo-
cratic state. | know what it means to
depart from the principles of genera
tons and to break the old hereditary
ties of party fealty. The most high
minded and patriotic thing that has
ever been done in the history of our
country was the action Of the demo-
Gratis who voted the republican ticket
Is more dlmcult for a democrat to for
sake his party than for a republican to
depart from his. The democratic par
ty is twice as old as the republican
party. But when those democrats
the real democrats-in 1896 saw their
old party captured by the populists
and Bryanites, and when they saw
what the success of that motley aggre-
cation would mean to the country they
did not hesitate but like true patriots
and true men voted for the election of
Mckinley. And | want to tell you that
when the monarchs of Europe who
have been jealous these many years
of the growing Importance of this re-
public saw what nobility there is in
the people of this country-when they
heard how the democrats of the old
school had for the honor and prosperi-

The British loss was probably insignifi-

Beers admit that sporting Mausers were
occasionally found, but they deny the
charge respecting expansive bullets.
Not shot was fired by the Beers with
cannon or rifle at the Swart Kop position

second row of low hills between the Re-

ing proceeded at a range of 1000 yards,

death. This must have staggered the Brit

CASTELLANE TO DE RODAYS.

DEFENDING HIS FATHER
EMILE lola PROVING THAT DOS
sIERs WE'RE TAMPERED WITH.
Showing I'm L'Aurore that General
Bill0t Acted i'm n Suspicious Man
ner-Court Function.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-Emile Zola fills the en-
tire front page of the Aurore this morn
ing with the final installment of his de-
Tense of the honor of his father, Francois
lola. and with the result of his investiga-
ton of the military dossier dealing with
the charges of malversation. He brings out
the suspicious part General Billot played
in the compilation and emasculation of the
dossier, which lay utterly neglected in the
War Office archives until General Billot
became minister of war. Then a sudden in
terest was taken in il and the documents
were collected and placed in fresh en-
velope. 1t was during General Billot's min
istry that the dossier was recognized by
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the forger and
suicide, and NJ. Judet, editor of the Petit
Journal, published the two alleged letters
of Colonel Combs containing the accusa-
lions.
M. lola says the first of these letters is
now admitted to have been a forgery and
the second, even if authentic, was mutt
lated and falsifed. During his investiga-
lions he unearthed another dossier treat
ing of system of Notifications submitted
TO the War Office by his father in 1881.
The charges against his father concerned
lo5z, yet IN 1000 the uoCuilenls pioNS 'haI
his father was received by the King In
reference to his system of fortifcations and
again in 1910. Had the King and the War
Office forgotten the charges of 1922" he
asks, "and how can / admit an indelible
stain upon his honor when L see my father
thus holding his head high?
NJ lola acquired the conviction from the
study of the documents and from his
fathers treatment by the king subsequent
to the charges, that, although charges may
have been made, his father satisfactorily
explained his conduct and was recognized
as innocent.

LORD ROsEBERY's VIEWS.
He Thinks Good Has Been Accom-
pIished by Early Reverses.

LONDON, Jan. 23.--At the opening of the
new town hall, at Chatham, to-day. Lord
Rosebery, referring to the war, said: I'm
such a war must have bad moments.
But 1 trust that in the providence of God
we are striking balance of the evils Great
Britain has undergone and the good de-
rived, and 1 do not think the balance is
much against Great Britain"
Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: az was
never so proud of my country during
the week following the battle of the Tugela
river, when party politics disappeared alb
solutely and gave way to a passionate re-
solve TO pour out the last shilling and the
last man to assist the country in her hour
of need. Whatever foreigners may say.
they have not got to the bottom Of old Eng
land yet. This test of the character of the
British people will alone counterbalan@c
our losses. The reverses of the war have
taught the country that the empire Is n
united empire. In commerce, education and
war Great Britain is not methodical and
not scientific. The country has yet ID bring
the war to triumphant conclusion. When
that is done it must set to work and put
the empire on business footing, AM strive
to make it realize the British idei OF an
empire without menace, without oppre ssion

ish loss was probably Insignificant.
The bombardment of the Boer positions
from Swartzkopfen was resumed yester-
day, chiefly from battery brought across
the river On the afternoon the cannonad-
ing became exceedingly brisk and under
cover thereof the infantry advanced in
three lines to a second row of little kopjes
which they occupied at nightfall, but later
they retired to their old positions.
During the night score of shells were
fired by the British and balloon was sent
up to spy out the Boer position.
The naval guns resumed the lombard

but without results.
The three British positions are the old
Chiveley camp near Colenso, the central
position at SwartZkop drift, where they

i'm a Speech at New York. I,

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-There was a meet
ing tonight of the New York committee
to aid the United Republics of South At
RIGA which has in hand the carrying out
of the arrangements for big pro-Boer
mass meeting in the Grand Central Palace
on Monday evening next. The main object
of the meeting will be to express Ameri-
can sympathy with the united republics
of South Africa and to secure aid for the
sick and wounded within the Boer lines.
To-night's meeting was presided over by
ex-Judge George Van Housen. The first
business transacted was reading of letters
from men of prominence in various parts
of the country who had been asked to
permit the use of their names as vice
president of the meeting. Chairman Van
Housen stated that William j. Bryan will
at a meeting in this city on Feb. speak
in vindication of the position of the Beers
in their fight with England. This state
ment was applauded.
Captain Gieman, formerly of the Sixty
ninth Regiment, wanted all reference to
American politics eliminated from the
speeches to be delivered at the mass meet
ing. This was not favoraby received and
William Van Rensselaer,. who Is looking
after the finances of the affair, declared
that there is more politics in England than
there is over here. Continuing. he said: II
think the Queen could have stopped this
war If she only wanted TO. and not let
Chamberlain run things 10 suit himself: She
has shown a great deal of weakness In the
whole matter.

gave reception to the Catholic clergy and
laymen for the purpose of conclliating the
opposing factions. Many prominent Fill
pinos attended, with view of making
demonstration against the friars. They
hooted Archbishop Nozaleda and every
friar who appeared, crying: "Fuera Noza-
leda," and "Fuera Friales." On the other
hand General Otis, who attended with his
staff, was cheered. Mngr. Chappelle made
speech, asking for liberation and patience
and promising a satisfactory settlement
of the questions in dispute. He rebuked
the newspapers for meddling with matters
which he said they did not understand.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-A special to the
Record from Washington says:
There is a complete understanding be-
tween the government and Archbishop
Chappelle concerning church affairs in the
Philippines. He has gone there as the rep
resentative of the Pope for the purpose
of recognizing the Catholic church upon
the same basis that exists in the United
States and General Otis is thoroughly in
formed of his mission and of the policy he.
is directed to pursue There is no intention
on the part of the United States govern
ment to confiscate or occupy without fair
remuneration any property belonging to
the church. but the estate and other prop
erty belonging to the religious orders or
whose title is in the name of the bishop,
will be taxed like any other property. The
only exception will be such property as is
actually used for worship or for educa-
tional purposes. There will be objec-
ton to the friars remaining in the Philip
pines, provided they do not interfere with
politics and civil affairs, and confine their
activity exclusively to ecclesiastical mat
tiers. The schools will be secularized, al
though there will be no objection to the
establishment of Catholic schools, pro-
vIded the church or the people prefer to
maintain them. No public money will be
given to the support Of any sectarian in
situations, either educational or benevo-
lent, and the priests will not be allowed
any other privileges or immunities than
they enjoy in this country. In short,
Archbishop Chappelle understands and
agrees that there is to be an entire sep
aration of the church from civil affairs and
the same freedom of worship and religious
instruction that exists in this country.

GEN. 7. H. STANTON DEAD
FORMERLY PAYMAsTER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
Soldier Who Always Wanted to BE
Where Fighting Was Going On
Forecaster Hazen Also Dead.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-News was re-
eeived in this city tonight of the death of
Gen. IT. III. Stanton, formerly paymaster
general of the army, in Omaha, this after
noon. He was known as the fighting pay
master because of his insistence on place
in the line during Indian outbreaks. He
had been i'll a long time his death resulting
from a complication of liver and stomach
troubles.
Thaddeus II. Stanton was born in In
diana sixty-five years ago and. in his boy
hood, went to the West and became iden-
titled with the stirring events of pioneer
days on the plains. He was with Gen.
Jim" Lane until 1857. and took part in
every struggle that took place in Kansas
over the slavery question between the pro
and anti-slavery forces. In 1861 he enlisted
in the Columbia Volunteers. and, after a
short service in that body, left 1t to go to
Iowa where he was elected TO the Legisla-
ture. Then he went to the war as captain
in the Ninteenth Wisconsin. This was in
1862. That very year he became a pay
master. and in that capacity he was pres
ent at some of the principal battles of the
war. He was chief paymaster of the de-
partment from the close of the war until
1870 at Richmond. He was later trans
ferred to the West. In that field his old
nghtng prOpenSitieS came to the surface.
He was detailed by General Crook as chief
of the Indian scouts, and he won a brace
of brevets for gallant conduct against the
Crazy Indians in 1876. He fought against
the Cheyennes and led the scouting column
against the noted Sitting Bull For years
he served in the Department of the Platte,
and he was ever ready to defend a post
when 1t was in danger. In March, 1895,
1.-The fighting paymaster'' was appointed
paymaster general of the United States
army, with the rank of brigadier general,
which position and rank he held until his
cember.
