Spearman's Camp. Jan. 26.-(Copyright
l9. by ". Il. Hearst There have been
days of desperate fighting among the rocky
hills to the northward, where General War
rcu. comma ndinC the British left, has been
attempting to turn back the Beers right to-
ward our main position here. 50 that We
could fold them between two fires, but Cen
eraI Warren has been unable to accomplish
the task.
In the darkness Of Tuesday night the
British infantry scaled the precipitous
sides Of Spi0n kop. meeting small resist
auce. They poured over the Boer intrench-
menrs with shout, charging about with
hayoucts in thr darkness but the Beers had
fed and only two dead Beers were found
in the trenches.
We could scarcely understand why the
f;n,r> had such a small force on this impOr-
tan; position. We expected far moro des-
psratg struggle While the British infantry
were climbing the mountain. our artillery
opened heavy fire and sheilcd the Bnor
works For hours the mountains rumhicd
with the crash of great guns. and the night
was illuminated by the flashes of bursting
shells.
General Woodgate led the attack and as
soon as he was in complete possession set
to work converting such of the Boer in
trenChmcntS as We're available into a pro-
lection for our own troops, and hastily
threw up others
This was in order 10 make the position
defensihIe, knew We would have to
fight to maintain the mountain.
The mist concealed the true situation. In
the early hours of Wednesday morning the
sun gradually drove it away and it showed
a little band Of British working like beav-
erS preparing to defend the place they had
So GarinEly won. Soon the BOcr guns on
the next range cf hills began TO boom and
their trenches blazed with artillery and
small arms.
Their small arms fire MaXims and N0rd-
enfeidts ratified necessarily, sending rain
of bullets Spion kop. some SEEM

across the summit with deadly effect.
The little British garrison suffered Sc
vevely and finally could only lie watch
fully behind their scant intrenchments.

 MT and Mrs. Eli Mix and family went to Brooklyn yesterday morning to at tend the nuptials of their eldest son, Charles Williamson Mix, and Miss May Ella smith, daughter of MT and Mrs. Garret W. Smith of 133 South Oxford street in that city.

Miss Smith at one time resided in New Ha- ven, where her father was engaged in business. Miss Bessie Mix, sister of the groom, acted as maid, with Frank Hub bard of this city as best man.
 A pretty home wedding took place at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence of MT. and Mrs P. B. Gam mons in West Haven, when their daughter, Miss Mildred Beecher Gam mons was united in marriage to Robert Allan Johnstone of Hartford. The cer- emony was performed by the Rev. G. F.

A few years ago Giles ascertained how it gains an entrance into human bodies, but no one has repeated his obserVa- tions or taken any interest in them. A parasite was discovered, a few years ago, which perhaps caused the terrible and widespread disease, dysentery, but other nations than England have pur- sued the Investigations.

Enters the Campaign With Every

Commemorative Behind Him-In-
equality of Representation.
New York Press: 1t has been shown
previously in these columns that Mr..
Bryan enters the presidential campaign
With the advantage of sure southern
electoral votes numbering at least I'd.
Those votes come from: Alabama, II;
Arkansas, S: Florida, 4 Georgia, 10;
Louisiana, s: Mississippi, o; Missouri,
II; North Carolina, II: South Carolina,
y; Tennessee, l.: Texas, 10. and V!r-
ginia, Il; total. 129. To those states
Mr.. Bryan has not to expound Single
Issue. To carry them for free silver
or anything else his party has not to
spend penny on campaign expenses,
nor need he or any one else lift hand.
They are dead sure" because, no mat
ter what the issues, who the candidates
or what the crisis, they vote bkndly
and solidly against the Republican
party.
Mr.. Bryan has another advantage. 1t
Is the inequality OF representation in
: the Electoral College In favor Of those
states which arc regarded rs fore
gone conclusion for Mr.. Bryan. This
"a found not only in southern states.
but in the mining camp settlements, II
Mr.. Bryan curries-and We are bound
ut this stage OF the campaign to con-
'cede most, II not all. OF them to him
Colorado. Idaho. Montana, Nevada,
South Dakota Utah and Wyoming. they
VIII give him twenty-three electoral
votes; yet In 1896 the total voting popu-
latlon Of all those states was only, in
round numbers, $4,000.
Now, n disputed state In this cam
paign Is Ohio. Ohio has the same num-
Der OF electoral votes us the states we
have enumerated above-twenty-th three.
Yet In the election OF 1896 Ohio cast
moro than 100000 votes. or more than
twice Us many as the seven mining
states which have as many electoral
votes rs Ohio. Michigan cast more
than $4,000 votes (for Mckinley and
Bryant. yet Michigan has nine fewer
votes In the Electoral College than the
Bryan mining states. New Hampshire
cast 10000 more votes than Idaho Ne
vada and Wyoming put together, Yet its
electoral vote Is only four against their
nine. Minnesota has nine electoral
votes against their nine, but against
the $4,000 votes they cast at the polls
In 1896, Minnesota cast more than
10000
Another debatable state Is New York.
In the election OF 1896 New York's vote
for the two leading candidates was
nearly 100000, as against the 46i. 600
OF the seven mining states. yet New
fork's electoral vote Is only thlrty-six.
Illinois. casting in 1896 more than l,0O0,-
900 votes, has In the Electoral College
only one more vote than the mining
states. The following table, showing
the result In 1896 and the electoral
vote. will give n comprehensive view OF
tho inequality In favor Of Mr.. Bryan
which we wish to point out:
