A MASTER POLITICIAN.
His Part in National Events of I'm
usuaA Political Magnitude

There is no more interesting character in
the history of American politics than that
of Colonel Thompson. A few years ago he
completed an important contribution to
history-his personal recollections of the
Presidents. From John Adams down to
Mckinley he knew them all. As a politi-
clan he was probably without peer in the
Hoosier State where he made his home
almost from his boyhood days. He was
the intimate friend of Oliver z. Morton,
and was more or less closely in connec-
lion with the expose of the Knights of the
Golden Circle in Indiana at the close of
the civil war. His position as provost
marshal placed him in touch with the men
of that time and gave him an insight into
the affairs of men and the State such as
few men were able TO boast.
When Hayes stepped into the presiden-
dial chair one OF his first official acts was
&C appoint Colonel Thompson secretary of
the navy. which position he resigned to ac-
eept the presidency of the American
branch OF the Panama Canal Company at
a salary of $4,000 year. He was pre-
vailed upon 10 accept il by Count Ferdi-
rand de Lesseps, the great French en-

IN HAYEs's CABINET.
Col. HoIloway's story of the Appoint
ment of Col. Thompson.

Colonel w. r. Holloway, who was Gov
ernor Morton's private secretary during the
civil war and now is consul general at ST.
Petersburg, once related the following con.
cerning Colonel Thompson's admission to
the Cabinet of President Hayes: Hayes
was anxious to show his good will toward
Morton. and sent telegram from Column
bus, just previous to the Inauguration, for
Morton to call on him for counsel about the
makeup of the Cabinet. Senator Morton
was very busy in the Senate just then,
and wired me to so to Columbus and SUBJ
NIT list of eight or ten names who would
be agreeable to him in the new Cabinet.
Among the names was that of Thompson,
who really had shade of preference in
Monton's mind. / canvassed the first two
or three names with the President-elect,
and then came TO Thompson's. My fear
was that he would object to Thompson
because of his age, so when Mr.. Hayes
asked how old Thompson was, 1 said: I
think he is along in the sixties. Just in the
prime of life,' was the answer of Mr.
Hayes, and / said: There is no doubt at
all of his strength and mental vigor If
you have not plenty of time. don't ask
him to make a speech, for he is always
good for three hours of eloquent talk
L remember to have heard him in the
campaign of 1S4O,' said Mr.. Hayes with evil
dent pleasure and the silver-like tones of
his speech still linger with me. Whenever
/ hear his name memory renews the charm
of his voice. and the eloquence with which
he bound the crowd to his words

the end. and then Mr.. Hayes said: Il will
be in Washington few days before the
Inauguration. and will confer with Senator
Morton. | may want Colonel Thompson
for attorney general or secretary of war
Senator Morton was still busy with the
affairs of leadership and he directed me to
see the President-elect. / found Mr. Hayes
had made up his mind 10 give Thompson
a place In the Cabinet. Ii was decided TO
telegraph him at Terre Haute and ask II
he would accept the post OF attorney gem
eral or the portfolio of the secretary of the
navy: think hts answer was that he

FIERCE BATTLE ON TUESDAY.
BOer Shell Drops Near Buller-Kafflrs
I'm the Enemy's Trenches.

LONDON, Feb. 9-The Daily Telegraph
has received the following dispatch, dated
Tuesday, Feb. 6, from Spearman's Camp:
This is the second day of the battle and
the fighting has been fiercer than it was
yesterday. At dawn the Beers began the
action by shelling bivouac with their
long Tom" and pompon guns from Doorm
kloof. Their six-inch shells fell near the
spot where General Butler and his staff
were watching the engagement. One shell
burst amid squadron of Thirteenth Hus-
sars, but not a soul was touched. Our
guns from Swart's kop and on the plains
soon silenced the enemy's artillery, but
repeatedly the Beers brought back their
guns, popped them into work over the hills.
fired few rounds and then again changed
their position.
During the morning our gunners sue
ceeded in blowing up the enemy's ammuni-
ton wagon on Doorm kloof.
General Lyttleton's brigade was shot at
from three sides and had a warm time
upon Vaalkrantz.
Desperate efforts were made by the
Beers to recover the smoking hill. The
Durham Light Infantry. the Kings Royal
Rifles and the Scottish Rifles gallantly
charged and cleared the position. General
Hildyard's brigade relieved General Lyt-
tleon's brigade towards sunset.
Fighting continued until o'clock. Sew
eral prisoners have been taken. They de-
clare that the Beers yesterday lost heav-
lily. the enemy suffered severely to-day.

trenches armed Kaffirs were found
