day u Il months in the county prison for

GEN. WHITE ACKNOWLEDGES B0Eas
HAVE HIN AT BAY.
Esglssd's New and Mighty Preparation
for War.

LONDON. Jan. s.-The British public is
at last face to face with critical moment
in the campaign. 1t may safely be said
that at no previous time have there been
such anxious hours of suspense as viii
be passed through until the arrival Of
further news regarding the fate Of Lady
smith.
The week opens with only fresh addi-
tions to the disasters that have befal,en
British arms. and there is no longer any
sustaining confidence TO buoy up public
opinion. The editorials this morning
fully reflect the extreme gravity of the
situation with painful undercurrent of
ominons foreboding. mainly caused by
the fact that. while the Beers have now
offensive, Gen. Butler is apparently una
bic TO do more 10 assist Gen. White than
in making a demonstration. The morn

"He might as well have ordered dis

The situation. however, is worse. The
beleagured force must nave expended
large amount of ammunition, which can
not be replenished, and must have lost
a number Of officers and men, which is
counterbalsnced. so far as the garrison
is concerned, by the greater loss of the
Beers.
General White still needs relief and
the difficulties confronting Gen. Bnller
are as great as before. The formers un-
adorned sentences, as read and re-read,
suggest eloquently the peril in which the
town was for II hours. and how barely
able his 5000 men were to keep from
being overpowered.
The chief concern for General White is
in respect of ammunition.
The intrenehments at Ladysmith. as
described in a message that left day or
two before the fight, are fortified hills,
well covered with rifle pits and trenches,
down which the infantry move in single
file to the various posts in absolute safety.
England is preparing fresh srmaments.

South Africa during the present month.
According to the program, 5000 addi-

AB. o. O#oisl Woundsd by Clerk.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan. 5.-John NJ.
Resley, aged So. yard-clerk for the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, this morning
shot Charles ". Galloway, Assistant Su-
perintendent Of the middle division,
twice, while Galloway was seated in his
Office. One bullet flattened on the breast
bone, and the other struck the elbow.
The shooting was the result Of Gallo
ways having sent for Resley to accoun:
for some cars, r. 7. Brann, of Milwau-
kee. car-tracer, being in the office at
the time. Resley, who always claimed
that Galloway never gave him fair show
after his Office of time-c clerk had been
abolished, became angry, and, it is alleg-
ed. struck Galloway on the face, at the
same time using gabusivelaDguage. Braun
tried TO catch Resley by the arms, but he
broke away. Galloway. after two shots
had been fired. threw out both hands aud
exclaimed: "You have shot me twice-I
have nothing"
Resley then walked TO the court house
and gave himself up. after retaining for
his defense Congressman G. A. Pearre,
who was there trying a case. Resley's
plea will be self defense. While he re-
fuses to talk. his friends say be shot only
after Galloway made a move to get his
revolver from drawer in his desk, where
Resley knew he kept it. Galloway says
he had a revolver in the drawer, but ii
was in a case and could not be nsed i'm
mediately.
Resley is a large man and an expert re-
volver shot. In October, 1873, he shot and
killed Lloyd Clary, editor of the Mount
ain City Times" Democratic. Of Cumber-
land. as the result OF an editorial which
Resley said reflected on the honesty of
his father, Col. Horace Resley, leader of
Democratic faction on which Clary was
making war. The trial almost impover-
ished Resley's father, who was then
rich man. He was acquitted on the
ground OF self-defense.
over 100 people called on Resley at the
Jail this afternoon. He is very popular
with the railroad men. The Grand Jury
will take up the case tomorrow. Gallo
way was formerly private Secretary to
Geueral Superintendent Fitzgerald, at
Baltimore, and he came here a year ago.

Ex-CONGREssMAN BYNUM has shown
a good example to all the gold Demo-
Gratis in coming squarely over to the
Republican party. The larger end Of
the Democracy is determined to keep
the dishonest dollar 10 politics until it
gets one more crushing defeat. Silver
ism will be one of the planks of the
Democratic party Convention this year.
There can be no doubt on this point
now. Nearly all the leading spirits in
that party have said so. The place for
all honest money men under these cir
clmstances is in the Republican party.
The campaign Of 1900 win finish the

GILMORE'S STORY
OF SUFFERING
Captive Americans Treated With
Cruelty by the
Filipinos.
ORDERS ISSUED TO SHOOT HIN.

Lieutenant ]. c. Gilmore, Of the United
States Navy, who was captured by the
insurgents last April on the east coast OF
Lnzon. was rescued few days ago. He
reached Manila Sunday and told re-
markable story Of his eight months in
captivity, ending with his dramatic de-
liverRnce from a death that seemed inev-
table. The gallant officer was so emaei-
sted that he was compelled 70 resort 70
cane for support He said to a reporter :
"rhe FilipinOs abandoned ns on the
night of December 18th. when the ofiics
in command said: al have orders to shoot
you all, but my conscience forbids." l
begged him for two rifles to protect us
from savages. adding that l would give
him letters TO the Americans. who would
pay him well and keep him from all
harm. He refused this, however. saying
that be would not dare to comply.
"We had seen some savages around US
and were prepared TO tight them with
cobbleStones, the only weapons we could
find. The next morning we built RATS,
in the hope of floating down the river.
II was a forlorn hope, but knew that the
river must empty into the sea somewhere.
was so weak myself that l did not ex-
pect to get out, but thought some of the
men could. While we were working on
the RATS the Americans came towards US
yelling" Lieutenant Gilmore could not
speak enthusiastically enough of the 40
picked men who had rescued him and his
party. Continuing the Lieutenant said
that he did not have a full meal for sever
al weeks, and on one occasion he was re-
duced to chewing grass. 1--WE would have
starved but for the kindness of some of
the residents of the towns where we were
kept prisoners, but others treated US bru-
tally"
For weeks Gilmore was covered with
boils and was in great pain. When the
FiliPinOs found the Americans were ap-
preaching, their treatment Of the prison
ers became better.

BEYOND the fact that the Senate Com
mittee on Elections has decided to re-
port against the admission of Senator
Qlsy TO the Senate on the strength of
his appointment by Governor Stone,
there is very little consolation in the
Senatorship situation for the anti-Quay
people who have been trying TO drag
him down. or the nine members of
the Committee on Elections five are
Republicans and four are Democrats,
aud it is worth noting that the four
Democrats are against Qlay and but
one Republican, Burrows, is against
him with the four Democrats. Ii is
well known that Senator Burrows
would under no circumstances vote for
the seating Of Senator Qlay, says the
Harrisburg Telegraph, for the reason
that in three contests for Speaker Of the
of that body, the weight of the PENN
sylvania influence was always thrown
against Burrows, and another candidate
received the Pennsylvania votes. As
mttter of course Burrows blamed the
Pennsylvania leaders, especially Quay,
for not receiving any support from this
State, and at the very first opportunity
he is taking his revenge. The Senate,
however, will be above such petty jeal-
oasies, and 1t is said will refuse to ac-
cept the report as prepared by Burrows
against the seating Of Qlay. Senator
Hoar, the grand old statesman from
Massachusetts,, will prepare the minor
ity report arguing that Senator Quay
should be seated, and he will present
the matter in such shape that the Sen
ate can not get away from endorsing
Governor Stones appointment of Col
onel Quay. Mr.. Burrows may have
reason TO regret that he permitted his
private resentment to run away with
his judgment.

McKinlsy's Philippins Policy.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 4 4-Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana. after talking with
the President this morning. went up to
the Senate and Immediately offered the
following, which may become historic by
being adopted AS the Senate declaration
of the Administration policy:
Resolved, That the Philippine Islands
are territory belonging to the United
States: thar it is the intention of the
United States to retain them as such, and
TO establish and maintain such govern
mental control throughout the arehipel-
ago as the situation may demand"
Senator Beveridge gave notice that be
would speak upon the resolution next
Tuesday, when he will give the results OF
his observations during his visit to the
Philippines, China aud Japan, which he
has hitherto kept from the public. He
feels that his special information war
rants the innovation of such an early and
prominent appearance for a new and
young Senator.
