Durham, n. c.. November 3.-This
afternoon Hon. II. A. Foushee, mana
ger of General Carr's senatorial cam
paign, issued a statement covering the
work of the campaign and his esti-
mate of the result. He says Carr Is
certain of carrying fifty-eight counties
The statement is as follows:
To the friends Of Julian S. Carr:
On the eve of a great victory for our
candidate for the senate / send you
greetings on this day. By your untir-
ing devotion to the cause. and the ef-
fcient help which you have rendered.
it has come to pass that the mex.
ator from North Carolina will be Julian
S. Carr, a man with clean hands. a
pure record. and one whose heart
beats in sympathy with the manhood
of his native state.
Prior to the August election. Julian
s. Carr discovered that in some coun-
ties too active partisans OF his chief
opponent were endeavoring to press the
claims of their candidate for the SEN
ate thereby endangering the consti-
the state. Friends of Mr.. Carr at that
time urged him to enter the list. and
prepare actively for the fight With
his usual magnanimity. Mr.. Carr refused
to do so. and subordinated his own can
didacy to the good of the party until
after the August election was passed.
The people of North Carolina admire
the man who suboIdinates his own am
bition TO party success.
No sooner had Mr.. Carr announced
his candidacy for the senate than the

The long, tight-fitting coat which is
worn so much will increase in popularity
as the spring season advances. There
are. to be sure, medium lengths in coats
which are very useful in calling and
street wear, but they are not regarded
with the favor that the very long cloak
enjoys.
An odd cloak thai is made long enough
to completely envelop the figure Is ullt
of pale castor cloth upon a lining OF
primrose satin. An innovation is four
ripping rufies over the shoulder made
of dark brown melton stitched with bias
bands of the castor cloth. There is also
a vest effect Of the melton trimmed in
accordance with the idea carried out in
the shoulder rufles. The revers are of

HOW NINE MEN
WHIPPED FIFTY.

''The whole story Of the battle of Mall
ky road will include a tale of bravery
and presence of mind in which Corporal
Anderson figures. The chances are that
the official report will not tell the story.
but the men who have come from the
north of Luzon like to relate the dash
which characterized the assault which
Anderson made on the F~ilipinos," writes
a Manila correspondent.
1.-THE enemy was fifty strong, while the
American outpost in charge Of Corporal
Anderson consisted of but nine men. Be-
fore there was time to act the insurgents
were within twenty-five yards OF the
sentries. The corporal knew his business.
He had his men throw volley after volley
into the enemy's position, n 1t was
Justify returned. In the meantime, the
corporal was busy. He placed three men
in charge Of the post, and hurried to
close out the enemy, who were making
for him by the front and both TANKS.
He took the balance of the men and
f1anked them. He then drove them in
from their position, Inc advanced by
rushes with two or three men at a time.
1.-The insurgents were slowly beaten
back, but Anderson thought their move
ments too slow, and he did the rush act
and broke them up completely. He had
his men in extended order, and, passing
the word, they charged. 1t was an awful
yell those seven men gave. as they rose
spontaneously and dashed upon the en-
envy. Out Of the fifty gugus there were
! none seen again, except the dead and
wounded o h field.
IA huge python made things just as
lively at Fort Santiago as Anderson made
1t at Malixy for the insurrectos. The
python attacked the guard n tried to
take his gun from him.
1T was 1880 a. m., and Robert Young.
Of A Company, Twentieth infantry. had
! been just half an u on post No. l, at
! the entrance of the fort. when. as he
turned at the inner end Of the post and
walked toward the front, he stumbled
over what looked like a log. There was
| neither time nor need for him to reflect
how the log got to the place over which
he had walked but a moment before. The
thing raised its head some four feet from
the ground and gave a hiss which left
no doubt as to its identity.
