STORIES CURRENT
IN MANITOWOC

Harbor Master Johnson tells strange
experiences of his seafaring days Mr.
Johnson for many years, prior TO max
ing his permanent home in ManitowoC
He knows we'll the mizzen from the
mainmast and can count aud name the
maze and complexity of ropes for haul
ing up and III the sails as easy us he can
now give change i'll silver for a 50 bill.
The bounding ocean, with the brave
and staunch craft, dipping her nose into
the pillows, merrily going forward to
some foreign port, or eagerly making
for her home quay, have the jolliest
memories to Mr.. Johnson. He loves
the sea, and he is i'll happy humor when
he has an apprcciative listener of his
stories of former days. Here is one
which was told last Saturday, after the
finding of the body of man III the riv-
err:
1t Is strange said Mr. Johnson,
"how men lose their lives. We may
speculate as to the cause of the drowning
of the poor fellow taken out of the river
tonight 1t may be suicide, 1t may be
accident. l remember some years ago
when | sailed the ocean, that our ship
put into London with Il cargo, and after
the vessel had discharged it she had sail
ed down the Thames u few miles to
Greenwich to load ballast. The heavy
stuff was used to ballast the ship so that
it could cross the main to Quebec with
safety, there being no cargo at that
time ready. Several men We're i'll the
hold, trimming the ballast which was
let down in buckets. AT night time
when load had been taken, all the
men came up from the hold except one
man, and for the moment some queries
were made as to what had become of
him. 1t seemed to be IL consensus of
opinion that he had, at some part of the
day left the hold and deserted the ship,
fearing to draw his pay. The good ship,
however, the same night pointed her
PROV toward the West and right rollik
ingly did she plow the deep, making for
Quebec
We arrived at the ancient Canadian
city in safety to take II cargo of lumber
back to Europe. Before loading it was
necessary for the crew to discharge the
cargo, and while doing it, the CHASTITY
discovery was made of the body of
the trimmer He had been struck on
the head by piece of ballast and his
body had been hidden under a pile of
stone.

A familiar sight to Manitowocans is a
cluster of men, deeply immersed III the
game of croquet which they nightly play
on the greensward which surrounds
the court house 1t has been said that
there are fiends at poker, enthusiasts ON
the race track, fans in the bleachers, eX-
perts at roulette, but DR.. Luhman and
Court Clerk Mcmahon, Judge Crate and
County Clerk Zander surpasss anything
and everybody in skill and devotion to
this game, the origin of which is lost in
the folds Of remote antiquity If one
happens to pass the court house grounds
while the game is i'll progress, it is worth
while to step over and watch it. You
will hear Pat Mcmahon say to his
partner, Come over and nurse me.
Not by II joyful, Pat the days of

But, then Mr.. Mcmahon simply meant

AIecisiye Move Mediated.

London, Feb. 13.-General Roberts il
at Modder river in supreme command
With him are Methuen, second in com.
maDd; BabingtoD, commander of the
the cavalry; Macdonald. commander Of
the Highlanders, and Tucker, commar
der OF the seventh division of infantry.
General French and his mounted force
are supposed to be nearby, probably
between De Asr and Modder river. Ex-
pert opinion inclines to the belief that
Bloc mfontein is Roberts objective.
News thai the big battle has begun is
expected any day.
London continues in darkness to the
to the situation of Gatacre, Kelly-Ken-
ny and Clements (woo is now com
manding at Rensberg. in Norte Cape
Colony. The Beers are active on thei.
front, az though seeking to prevent any
concerted forward movement by the
British. General Kitchener's where
abouts are at present unknown.
II Roberts is successful in his Mod
der River movement, it is possible that
Kitchener will suddenly appear on the
southern border of the Orange Free
State at the head of an army. OF the
200 900 troops known to be in South
Africa, many thousands of them are
unaccounted for and may BIZ at present
with Kitchener. No further news
comes from the front in Natal. 1t is be-
lieved now that tho reported thanking
movement OF tine Beers against Butler
is unimportant.
Cspetown, Feb. Is, ga. m.-General
Ronerts has visited the camp of the
Highlanders al Modder river and ad-
dressed each of the battslions. He re-
ferred to the approaching en-
gsgement which he said while
no walk over, was bound to
be successful. 1t is the belief here
that General Roberts will strike first at
Jacobsdsl, in the Free State, almost
due east from Modder river. This
move will draw of thu Boer forces un-
der Cropje at MagersionteiD, and com.
pei them to raise the siege of Kimber-
ley.
A heavy bombardment of Kimber-
ley is now going on and the town Is
reported to be suffering serious damage.
The transport City OF Rome arrived
here today with 1000 troops which
will be sent at once TO Modder river.
Upon their arrival it is estimated that
Roberts will have 10000 men at his
command.

1ALMOsT everybody is in favor o
more railroads, because the more
them, the more competition and the low
er the passenger and freight rates. thu
more the taxes on railroad property
and the more damages for railroad &C
cidents. But, for all that, the uncer'
tsinty about the route OF the proposed
now railroad to Richmond is by nc
means satisfactory. 1t is known tna'
its southern end will be at Hanover
,nnction. fifteen miles this side OF Rich
mond. but where its northern terminus
will be. is one of the many things nc
fellow can fiud out, certainly no one in
This neighborhood. The general i'm
,,ress;on about it seems to be that the
new road will end at Quantico, twenty
seven miles below this city. but there
are others who say it will either come
through Alexandria or leave this city t'
the right and cross the Potomac above
GEORGETOWN, connecting with tne b
&O.RR. This doubt and indefinite
ness ia not conducive to the friendliness
Of Alexandrians, many of whom really
bslieye that the interests OF their city

New York, Feb. 13-Politicians of both
parties are wondering il Governor Roosevelt
has his eye on the republican presidential
nomination in 1900. His tenn as Governor,
If be is nominated and reelected, will expire
in 1902, and In the interim between mat
and the next national republican convention
many thing may arise that would be fatal 10
his chances. Roosevelt today Is one of the
most popular men in the country, and 3
stampede for him for the presidency at the
Philadelphia convention, IT Is asserted, is not
impossible. 1t is pointed out that the Mica.
rsgus canal question is not the only one OIL
which Roosevelt dIsagrees with President
Mckinley. He was outspoken and positive
regarding the political situation in Kentucky
snd conten1ed that Gov. Taylor ought to be
sustained by all republicans. Roosevelt it is
almost certain, will be renominsted for the
Governorship Of New York State at the April
convention. Events may make his nemina-
ton for the presidency more than possible.
