CANTON. O.. Oct. S.-Almost the
last thing President Mckinley did be-
fore starting for Washington to-day.
was to pay n pretty compliment to Sem
ntor Spooncr, OF Wisconsin. The sena-
tor spoke here tonight. formally open
ing the county campaign. He came
down from Cleveland little before
noon. and the President ordered his
carriage and called his friend. Judge
Baldwin. to go with him to the station
to meet the senator. The doy was cold
and dreary, and at train time n heavy
rain was falling. But Just before the
train arrived the President left the
carriage. raised his umbrella, and
walked up and down the platform until
Senator Spooner stepped out Of the
car Hello Senator; how are your

umbrella over the visitor. Then they
went into the wait!ng-room. and the
President introduced Mr.. Spooner to
others there to meet him. and after
wards drove him up to the house, and
kept him there until short time before
the start for Washington.

news has yet been received of the expect
ed battle between General French and
the Beers. There is now but remote pros
Dect OF the re-capture Of The guns. This
however is regarded as quite trining COM
pared with the political effects Of the
disaster. As the Bloemfontein correspond
ent OF the Times remarks, Commandant
ollviers strategy in re-oecupying Lazy
brand and Thaba Chu was bold and
even brilliant. Most Of his force is COM
posed OF Free staters, and the advamags
gained by them will have a most disturb
ing effect on the mind Of the Free State

this is a hard fate. and every possible

consideration for the sufferings of repent
ent belligerents at the hands OF their fell
low countrymen cannot IL suffered TO
prejudice the military plans OF Lord
Roberts"
The Daily Telegraph. which takes a
raore humene view. says:
1T is just as important to protect those
Burghers. who have trusted in our power
and surrendered all means OF defending
themselves as 1t is to win victories
against those who are s;in in arms"
The Daily Chronicle, whose Cape Town
correspondent joyfully predicted the war
would BE over in three months says;
'gn order to re-establish our positions
On the Free siae we need "a brilliant sue
cess won on the scene OF our latest re-
verse"
It is announced from springfontein that
the censorship has again curtailed the
dispatches. Therefore important develop
ments must be impending.
The British public is reluctant 20 be-
iieve that an American led the Boer
forces which attacked the convoy. The
Daily Chronicle says:
'Relchman may be like some other Am
ericans. He may even have unoffically
advised the Boer commandant, although
this would have been exceedingly i'm
proper. but we cannot think he would
take command without previously res gn.

AN AERIAL FLIGHT.
Extraordinary Adventure Of an Italian
Peasant Woman.

Teresa Falciola, an Italian peasant
woman met recently with an extraor-
binary adventure. Near her home. in
the village of Quarna, which nestles in
a spacious valley. is a high and wood
ed mountain, and there i was her
custom to go several times a week
for the purpose Of collecting firewood.
To bring this wood down from the
precipitOus mountain to her cottage
was quite an arduOus task. Therefore.
she sent it down by means OF a strong
metal wire, stretched from the valley
up to the mountain top.
A few weeks ago she and her little
daughters ascended the mountain, and,
after gathering three goodly bundles
of wood prepared to send them down.
Just, however, as the mother had fas-
tened the first bundle to the wire. and
had launched it on its downward
course, her wedding ring became
caught in the rope with which the
bundle was tied, and in a fash she
was carried of her feet and swept
downward into the valley. Half para
lized with fear, her little daughters
watched her as she sped from their
sight with amazing swiftness, and
then they ran down the mountain.
fully expecting to find her lying dead
at the end of the wire.
And their fear was quite natural,
since the mountain top from which
their mother had been torn is eight
hundred yards above the valley. For.
tunately, their fears proved to be
groundless. They found their mother
entirely uninjured Yet, miraculous
indeed, was it that her life had not
been crushed out of her at the end of
her perilous descent It would have
been if her fall had not been broken
before she reached the earth by some
friendly branches. The bundle OF
wood, too, was in some measure a bul
wark against the shock.

Treasure From a sunken Vessel.

with the sanction Of the Turkish
Government a party OF Greeks have
lately commenced to search the bot
tom of the sea near Chios. where in
177O. at the battle of Chesme, the
whole Turkish fleet was destroyed
ana the Russian flagship sunk The
divers have met with good success
and will. despite the large percentage
which the Turkish Government hasre-
served for itself, obtain a considera-
bic profit.
AT a depth Of 30 fathoms the Rus
sian flagship was found. which con-
tanned n large amount Of gold and sill

them have been recovered. but it Is
expected that much more is contained
in the wreck. A Turkish vessel is at
anchor where the divers are working,

Is at once examined as TO its contents
and the amount noted down. The
coins, however. are not the only arti-

The Beers Aim Low.

1t is the testimony of all the cores.
pondents at the front that the Boera
have a knaek Of hitting our men about
the legs and lower part of the body
The fact is brought startlingly int1
prominence by the enumeration Of the
wounds received by 300 officers and
men treated by the field hospital with
Gen. H6fts brigade. or the whole on
ly eight received she'll wounds; the
others were hit by Mauser bullets,
seventy-six in the upper extremity,
and lis ia the lower extremity. II is
little consolation to know that the
wounds were humane in the ex-
treme." they were small and there
was very little hemorrhage. So that
the number Of men totally disabled
may in the end prove to be comparn-
lively small The practice Of the Beers
seems to be to aim low. no doubt with
the object Of taking advantage Of III

marked:
Say, John, break your rule once.

We'll. seeing that you ask the IA

Pirates Still in Canton.

A daring raid by a body Of pirates on
one of the Canton jails for the pur-
pose Of releasing one of their com
rades. who was lying there under sen
tence Of death, was made at the end Of
October, but the details we're sup
pressed by the local authorities. A
band Of about eighty pirates attacked
the jail and overpOwered the warders.
They then liberated their comrade
and eleven other bandits who were
also under sentence of death, and
fought their way back to their boats
killing a number of the city trained
bands who were called out to inter
cept them. During the. running fight
two of the pirates were killed, but the
rest got away. The Empress Dow
ager, on receiving the news of this ex-
ploit. though some of the details were
concealed from her and from the Vic
eroy. cashiered the governor Of the
Jail and ordered an inquiry to ascer-
tain whether he was in collusion with
the pirates. She also ordered the trial
of the local magistrate who was re-
sponsible for the security of the pris-
on, and gave him the usual period of
three months within which to recap
ture the liberated criminals and the
pirates who released them.-LondOn
