Senator W. E. Howell, one OF the
defeated candidates. seems to take
the result quite philosophically, and
is not at all cast down BY defeat.
Tuesday's Plcayune credits him
with the following:
"Mr. Howell, although out Of tue
Republican fusion councils, from An
Official standpoint, said that he was
= strong believer in the resurrection.
It was true. he said, that they
buried the elephant at Thibodaux
the other night, but he said the
great mammal would rise again.
"'You may not know our reason
for selecting the elephant - our
emblem said Mr.. Howell to the
lobby man. No, we'll, I thought
not. The reason was because tue
elephant was supposed by the
ancients to be gifted with immor.
tality. Tie Siamesc worshipped
the elephant because they believed
it to have life eternal. The ele.
plant which they buried in Thib0.
daux will have a day IT resurrec-
ton.
Mr.. Howell is doubtless correct.
The Republican elephant may make
its appearance again on resurrection
day, but then there will be no need

TROUBLE AHEAD.

AddicksItes May Try TO Elect Delegates at
Ward Meetings Of Regular Republicans.
A Regular Republican informed re-
porter of the Gazette Monday morning
that there is probability of some
trouble being experienced in selecting
delegates to the convention, which is 20
be held in Dover on February 9th.
With the call for the meeting was the
announcement that the primaries for
the selection OF delegates would be held
on February 9th, but on the day fol-
lowing the one upon which the call
was issued it was announced, from an
authoritative source, that 1t was not in.
tended to have primaries, the delegates
to be chosen at ward and district meet
ings.
1t is now hinted, according to the re-
porter's informant, that in some of the
wards and districts Union Republicans
are contemplating attending the meet
ings in large numbers and, if possible,
controlling the action thereof. 1t is
likely Regulars would make an effort
to prevent them from taking part, in
most sectors, but there arc other sec
tions in which the Addicksites might
succeed in conoealing their political in
IDENTITY and thus have a voice in the
meetings.
There is not much fear of the Ad-
dicks people being able in this manner
to cut any figure in the convention, but
one delegate might learn great deal
by being in the regular conferences and
committee meetings, and it is likely az
effort Will be made to keep out all fol.
lowers of Addicks.

A NOVEL SUIT.
Action to Ascertain the Holdings of Parties
Interested In the Tug Amanda Powslt

Action to Ascertain the Holdings Of Parties
Interested In the Tug Amanda Powell
Lewis g. Vandegrift, attorney for the
Wilmington & Northern Railroad Co..
Monday began an action in the United
States Court the object being to ascer-
tain the holdings of parties interested
in the tug Amonda Powell, of which
the railroad company is half owner
The action is the result of a damage
suit in superior Court. Some time ago
while the tug was towing car float No.
s, belonging to the same company, a
portion of the post holding the rope
broke and Thomas M, Fowler had his
foot injured. Fowler brought suit in
the Superior Court of this State for
damages. As the amount asked for is
500, 0O0, the case was one of those which
can be taken into the United States
Court. An act of Congress provides
that the owner of vessel may limit
his liability in any case to the value
of his interest in 1.-THE vessel. As the
value of the vessels is less than the
amount for which Fowler sued, Mr..
Vandegiift applied to the United States
Court for a rule compelling all inter
ested in tho vessels to come before
United States Commissioner Smith and
prove their interest. The commissioner
is then to ascertain the value OF the
interest of the railroad company 10 the
boat and car float, their tackle, &C., i,
which sum is to be paid into court and
held by the. commissioner. subject to
the order of the court. The liability
of the company under the suit is to he
limited by the law to the amount Of
money in the hands of the commissioner.
The first hearing will take place
before Commissioner Smith at 10

SCORED A DISTINCT SUCCESS.
The Brush Version of Con. MacDopald's
Movements at KoodoesberE.


Movements at KoodoesberE.
Moddur River, Cape Colony, Feb. 8,
noon. Gen. Macdonald scored dis
tinct success at Koodoesberg. His
original orders were to hold the drift,
and construct fort. The position,
however, was extremely difficult, long
range OF high hills running west and
terminating close to the drift on the
north bank of the river. As it was i'm
possible to hold the whole summit,
Gen. Macdonald constructed strong
works across the centre, which were
held by the Seaforth Hiehlanders and
three companies of the Black Watch.
While tho Highland Light Infantry
held small kopie on the right, the
Ninth Lanoers patrolled the left toward
the river. Gen. Macdonald s plan being
to repel attacks.
Things went quietly until Wednesday,
when tho Beers advanced along the
ridge within 300 yards, mounting two
mountain seven Founders, which were
invisible from the plain. They also
held "a smaller drift three miles to the
west. On receipt of this news, Con,
Methuen dispatched largo force OF
cavalry and two horse batteries under
Gen. Darlington, for the purpose OF
surrounding the Beers. In order to
further this plan, Gen. Macdonald
adopted merely defensive tactics. 1t
was not attempted to force back the
Beers right, which move might have
resulted in their general retirement too
soon. Gen. Darlington left the Modder
River at 11.3O o'clock in the morning,
and arrived within two miles Of
Koodoesberg at 4.30 p. M, too late tc
attempt the turning movement. The
next morning, 1T was found that the
Beers had fed from the lower drift, but
still remained on the hill, which they
also left when they perceived Babing'
toms movements. Early in the morn
ing, Darlington vigorously sheiled the
retiring Beers.
The whole British force is now re-
turning to camp.
This little affair reflects great credit
upon Gen. MacDonald's tactics, anc
proves that the Highlanders have
thoroughly recovered their old courage

Will Not Accept the Nomination

Albany, N. y, Feb. 12.--Gov.
Roosevelt today gave out statement
relative 10 the Republican nomination
for the Vice Presidency. He says:
''In view of the continued state
ments in the press that | may be
urged as candidate for Vice
President, and in view of the many
letters that reach me advising for and
against such course. it is proper for
me 10 state definitely that under no
circumstances could 1, or would J.,

Presidency. 1t is needless to say how
deeply appreciate the honor conferred
upon me by the mere desire to place
me in so high and dignified a position.
But il seems to me clear that at the
present time my duty is here in the
State, where the people chose me to be
governor. Great problems have been
faced and are being partly solved in
this State at this time, and If the
people SO desire. | hope that the work
thus begun l may help carry to sue.

The governor, in giving out his
statement, said: "And am happy to
state that Senator Platt cordially
acquiesces in my views in the matter. "

WANT A TEMPERANCE PLANK.

Pushing the Movement Here.
national temperance society was
formed recently, its object being to have
a temperance plank-not a prohibition
plank--in the platform of one Of the
great parties. 1t hopes to secure this
end by obtaining the pledges of mil
lion voters in the United States that
they will support the candidates of the
party having such plank or If they
cannot get the plank in an old platform
to support candidates nominated on an
indebendent platform. The movement
is non bipartisan and the temperance
people are making an effort in all parts
of the country to get the desii ed num-
ber to pledge themselves.
Monday, at the meeting OF the
Wilmington Methodist Preachers As.
sociation, communication was re-
ceived from the society asking the asso-
citation to look after the work in Will
mington, and after the matter had been
discussed the Rev. John Thurlow was
appointed superintendent of the work
here and Presiding Elder Watt and the
Rev. f. p. Harris, E.S Mace and W, p.

him relative to securing all of the
signers possible in Wilmington.
