Italy, by bullet fred by Gaintano
Bressi, who went there from Paterson,
n. j., it is thought to execute a plot
or conspiracy of the anarchists, has ex-
cited the sympathies of the whole
world. He was a ruler loved by his
people, and it is not believed it was in
tended for him personally, but against
monarchies in general. The crown

THE death of Lewis c. Vandegrift,
ESQ.,, in Wilmington yesterday, is a
loss to the State, and will be so re-
garded. He was man thatrose above
the pettifogger; a strong advocate at
the bar, possessed of mind that was
discriminating, and who knew the diff
ference between an oath to execute the
behests of the State, and fealty 10 party.
He was in the prime of life, nearly
As years old, and was looked to as one
of the men that should fill the places
vacated in State and National dignity
occupied by T. F. Bayard and George
Gray.
He was born and grew up in the vi
cinity of Odessa. He had been ill
about three weeks with pleuro-pneu-
monia.

THE ARMY NEEDS
 REORGANIZATION Yajor General Brooks Urges Action in His Annual
 Report.

Washington, October 9.-It is urged in the annual report of Major General John R. Brooke commanding the Department Of the East at New York, which was made public today, that a pressing necessity exists for the reorganization of the army on modern lines. General Brooke says:
 ''The events since the commencement of the Spanish war have demonstrated be- yond doubt the necessity for a reorganiza- ton which will enable this nation to main- tain the position in which it now finds It. self placed, so that in case of war the army may form the bulwark behind which the volunteer army may be created, as has always been done in our country, by or- ganizing the people,"
 Referring to the rehabilitation and prog ress of our coast defenses, he says that while 1t Is impracticable at this time to make recommendations regarding the ar tillery posts, where the number of men en- ters as a factor on account of the large foreign drafts, 1t is not too early now to draw up plans for supporting the coast artillery.
 Tt is not the province of coast artil- lery," he says, ito act out of fortifica- tions, their sphere of operations being linn ited, and the presence of mobile troops to repel attacks from the rear and to prevent landing parties from gaining a foothold is imperative. On that account the vicinity of each post for miles around should be mapped with a view to determining the lines of defense before the necessity for their use arises"

BOERS ARE FLEEING
Want to Begin Life Away from Theil
 Old Homes

New York; October 9.-A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Lorenzo Mar ques says:
 Hundreds of Boers with their families are fleeing from the country of their birth to begin life again in some other country. Most of these have America as their ulti- mate destination.
 Two German ships left here last week carrying 12O0 Boers. They were closely fol- lowed by two French ships with $50 souls from the Transvaal, mostly women and children. All of these belong to the better class of Boers, and all were bound for Hol- land They do not say where they will go afterward.
 TO American Is the question asked of them by those who are left behind.
 Probably is the inevitable answer. We do not know, but we think we should be happier in America than elsewhere, and we may establish our homes there."

ment Is untrue. It Is wen shown by his
own evidence that after the occurrence
with Bickford, he told him that ne would
meet him in Butte and after the first
conversation with Cook he accepted the
invitation as his guest to visit the Mon
tana club.
"In justice to Stiff, we feel that the
committee must come to the conclusion
that these statements are the result OF
the opinion which he must have reached,
that the exigencies of this proceeding de-
mand the narration of Cooks story be-
fore this committee"
The cases of Representatives Cullen.
Jacqueth and Bywater are then referred
to. counsel saying:
1.-THE only witnesses who pretend to
give direct testimony to those three
members of the legislature are Fred
Whiteside and William F. Proctor. Even
if the allegations contained in the evil
dence of either of these witnesses in ref
erence to he three members mentioned
has been not only denied by every per-
SON whom either of them alleged had
knowledge of the facts, it is contra
dicted by all those denials as against
the uncorroborated statements of these
two discredited witnesses"
Much space is devoted to the question
as to whether John B. Welcome fur
nished the $50, 900 which Whiteside pre-
serted to- the Montana bribery investi-
CATION committee, and in this connec-
ton the testimony OF Whiteside is ana
lyzed at length, in an effort to break it
down.
Twenty pages are devoted to sitting
Whiteside's testimony, and then the brief
says:
I'VE have shown by the evidence of
John B. Welcome, Charles w. Clark,
William McDermott, A.. J.. Steele, John
M. Neill, w. NJ. Bickford and Walter
! Cooper, the most active and earnest
! friends of Senator Clark. that not a dol
lar of money was corruptly used to in
fluence the action of members of the
| Montana Legislature of 1899 to vote for
Senator Clark. We have also shown by
evidence of Senator Clark that he per-
sonally did not know about the corrupt
use of money to influence members OF
the legislature"
Reference is mex made to the exhibit
Of Senator Clark's accounts n this
comment thereon:
eff those accounts are true, it has been
demonstrated beyond the possibility of a
doubt by the evidence of transactions
which took place M We're recorded al
the time of the occurrences. that the $50,
600 placed by Whiteside before the legis-
lature could not have been received from
Senator Clark or his friends"
With reference to the testimony of the
judges of the Montana supreme court, ii
is said that cit is only material to the
case from the light it throws on the char
acter and reputation of the members OF
the court so as to prove the wisdom OF
Mr.. Welcomes determination not to tes-
tify before them in the proceedings fol
/ his disbarlnent."
1t is also claimed that this testimony
can in no a affect the right of Sem
/ ator Clark to his seat, and also that it is
not within the scope of the resolution OF
inquiry.
