KILL THAT BILL.

A bill has been prepared by Secre-
tary Kinney to make changes in the
election law, that will make it an instru-
ment conveying to one man the power
of controlling the elections at every
precinct in the State. AS a promoter
of fraud and an instrumental oppres-
sion, it could hardly be more cunningly
devised.
AS the law stands, in order to secure
perfect fairness, the county election
officers are selected by the County Com
mittee of each party, and the two
parties have equal representation on
the election Board. The County Board
appoints the election judges in all the
precincts of their county. Under the
proposed law, the Secretary of State is
given the power of appointing all the
County Election Boards; and as these
appoint the Judges of Election, the bill
virtually gives to the Secretary OF
State the control of the elections in
every township in the State.
That the Secretary of State would
abuse this power, in the interest OF
himself and friends, is not only possi-
BILE, but under the present corrupt
regime of politics, is more than proba-
BILE.
Mr.. Kinney, the present Secretary OF
State, has given many instances of the
exercise of arbitrary power for partisan
purposes, under the old law, and its
provisions ought TO be changed in the
interests of the people, instead OF
throwing more arbitrary power into
the hands of one man.
The passage of such law as Kinney
has framed ought to condemn any man
who votes for it.

RESCUE OF LIEUT.. GILMORE
And the Rest of the Crew of the
Yorktown.

MANILA, January 7.-8:30 p. m.-
Lieutenant J. c. Gilmore, of the United
States gunboat Yorktown, who was cap
tured by the insurgents last April near
Baler, on the east coast of Luzon, and
rescued few days ago by Colonel Lu-
ther r. Hare, of the Thirty-third Vol
unteer Infantry, sat today in the apart
ment of his sister, Mrs. Major Price, at
the Hotel Oriente, in Manila.
The steamer Venus came into the
harbor last evening from Vigan, prov
ince of South Iloos, with Lieutenant
Gilmore and nineteen other Amersican
prisoners, including seven of his sailors
from the Yorktown. Lieutenant Gil
more, after reporting, came ashore and
hobbled along, with the aid of a cane,
to the Hotel Oriente.
Although tanned and ruddy from ex-
posure, he is weak and nervous, show
ing the results
OF LONG HARDSHIPS.
He speaks warmly of Aguinaldo and
very bitterly against General Tino, de-
claring that while in the formers juris-
diction he was treated splendidly, but
that after he fell into Tino's hands he
suffered everything.
Colonel Hare and Lieutenant Colonel
Howe, the latter of the Thirty-fourth
Volunteer Infantry, rescued Gilmore's
party on December Is, near the head
waters of the Abalut River, after they
had been abandoned by the Filipinos,
and were expecting death from the saw
age tribes around them. When the res
cuing force reached them they were
nearly starved, but were building RATS
in the hope of getting down the river
to the coast.

REPULSED !!
Boer Forces Defeated at
Ladysmith
After an All-Day Fight, Satur-
day, The Beers Were Beat
en- Back.
Splendid Fighting of the British Sol
dieIs Under Gen. White.

The Beers made determined attack
on Ladysmith, Saturday, beginning be-
fore daybreak and lasting all day.
They captured several parts of the
British works, showing great courage,
but every time the British rallied, and
drove them out. The BOer losses were
very heavy.
General Butler is said to have crossed
the Tugela river, and to be on the
march for Ladysmith. If this be true,
it shows that the Beers are whipped,
and that nothing but defeat awaits
their cause.
The dispatches giving this Important
news, are dated yesterday, and are as
follows. General White will be the
hero of the English army:

courage.
| "The entrenchments on Wagon Hill
were three times taken by the
| enemy and three times retaken by
us. The attack continued unit
1880 p. m. One point of our position
was occupied by the enemy the whole
day, but at dusk, during a heavy rain
storm, they were turned out at th'
point of the bayonet by the Devons. Col
Ian Hamilton, commanding at Wagol
Hill, rendered valuable services.
"The troops had a most trying time
but behaved excellently. I am elatec
over the services they have rendered
to the Queen. The enemy was every
where repulsed with very great loss
greatly exceeding ours"

following the start shorts nervously bid

Wire houses took this as a cue that the
market would advance should real sup

the market had not only regained the
opening loss. but was several points above

firm in tone. The January option was
strong and relatively higher than the
rest of the list. Heavy receipts at the
