Answered above.
If Dewey runs as an independent can

his candidacy have on the Democratic
party?
Difficult to estimate. Am certain Mr..
Bryan Will be elected any way.
What do you think Bryan's vote will
be on the first ballot at Kansas City?
Think no name but Mr.. BTyan's will
be presented to the Kansas City con-

by reclamation.
Who is your choice for vice presi-

l have no present choice for vice

influences which use the government TO
help them traffic in the necessities of
the common people, viii suit me and the
allied forces which expect to elect him.

Direction of Dewetsdorp.
Mazeru, Basutoland, April 21.-The
Beers around Wepener have been rein
forced and are now stronger than ever.
The firing of cannon and rifles was
heard today in the direction of Dew
etsdorp, which was looked upon as
meaning that relief was approaching.
Heavy fighting is hourly expected.
Two large BOer forces left the vicin-
ity of Wepener this morning, one go
ing in the direction Of Dewetsdorp and
the other towards Rockville. The Beers
are excited and jubilant in consequence
of President Steyn's assertions that
foreign Intervention is certain, and it
is only necessary to struggle q short
time. Generals Dewet and Olivier are
inspiring the burghers with inflamma-
tory patriotic speeches.

Boshof, Orange Free State, April IL
At midday yesterday General Methu-

ordered to return to BoshOf. Its con-
voy extended over six miles. The es-

handing the road, just in the nick OF
time, as a force Of 1000 Beers with two
guns and a pompOm suddenly appeared
in the vicinity and opened a. very heavy
fire. The British, however, held them
in check until the column reached a
point of safety, when they retired
The British had several casualties
The Beers fought determinedly and
must have suffered considerably, as
they once advanced to within 500 yards
of the hill, whence a. concealed detach-
ment Of the British opened a heavy
fusilade on them.

compelled to make an undignifed
scramble for what he can get from the
thrifty Philadelphians by way of com
promise for his check. He is said to
have scaled the indebtedness to $780,

100000, is actually pledged. Mean
while Mr.. Hanna has been forced to
take what ready cash the committee
chose to give him and to return to cam

necessity of liberal fat-frying still
staring him in the face.
The trouble is tina; it is too late for
reprisals. Philadelphia has the con-
vention and any attempt at changing
the assignment would give rise TO ma
tional scandal. Of course the commit
tee is collectively and severely indig-
nant that the convention was not award
ed to Chicago, whose refusal to bid
for it with a cash bonus and whose
ample guaranty TO pay all the ex-
penses had at least the merit of honesty.
But regrets will not now help mat

FACTS SUPPRESSED.
The Republican VIII
Cover tp FHuIt. of the
AdminIstrn

Anything that may serve to throw
ar unfayorable light on the Mckinley
administration will be suppressed by
the republican congress.
This has been proved by the action
Of the senate which rejected by a par
ty vote a resolution calling for the
facts concerning the negotiations Of
the treaty under which Spain received
$2o,00O,oOO for the Philippines.
Mckinley has professed an earnest
desire to turn the Philippine matter
over to congress, but that body cam
not act intelligently without knowing
all the facts. In refusing to call for
this information, the republican SIN
ate expresses a preference to going
II blind" rather than to bring to the
public knowledge facts prcjudicial to
the administration.
1t is quite evident that in the begin
ming Mckinley was in favor of secur-
ing for the United States simply q
coaIing and naval station at Manila.
What was it that changed this inten-
ton?
If the inquiry a. to negotiations pre-.
ceeding the treaty Of Paris could be
pressed the answer might be found.
1t is alleged that the hand Of Eng
land was busy in this matter and that
Great Britain for purposes Of selfish
interest wanted to entangle this cJun.
try in oriental politics.
Doubtless this charge is susceptible
of proof, but that proof will not be
forthcoming.
