ardson for Governor in 1890 By
contributing money to elect Rob
ert J. Reynolds, q Democrat.
~. He defeated Anthony Hg
gins reelection to the Senate in
1895 though Mr.. Higgins was
the majority nominee and he
conspired with Democrats to de
feat Col. Henry A. DUPONT, going
to Washington and laboring with
foes of the Republican Party to
unite them in turning down Col.
dupont, and succeeding, it is
said, by Doodle.
@. He bought a majority in
the convention Of May, 1896, and
wantonly violated every rule and
precedent CT time-honored Della
ware RepublicaEism, for which
the National Republican Conven-
ton refused to recognize him.
(N. He refused to elect from
ten Republicans or to allow an
election from ten Union Repub-
licans to the U. S. Senate in 1899,
and forced Representatives in
that General Assembly to break
their pledges to elect a Senator,
if not one man then some other,
by voting for Mr.. Addicks all
the time.
Can you, therefore, as honest
Republicans, continue to follow
Mr.. Addicks and become helpers
in aiding him to "bury the Re
publican Party of Delaware ten
thousand fathoms deep" as he
threatened in a telegram to Sena-
tor Washburn? He is as intent
on that purpose to-day as he was
when he made it. Upon you is
the responsibility. Read of the
turning over to the Democrats of
the city of Wilmington, and
answer as to your duty to your
self, your State, your party.
Remember that thousands of
Republicans cannot for con-
science sake accept Mr.. Addicks
for reasons stated and then an
swer if Mr.. Addicks is worthy
your aid in defeating every other
Delaware Republican. Hope and
success to Delaware Republican
ism lies in. the answer of self
respecting Union Republicans.
What shall that answer be? The
columns of THE TRANSCRIPT are
open to fair and just discussion
of the issues.
The complete and convincing
answer made at Dover should be
printed in attractive form, 10C,-
900 of them, and one should be
put in the hands Of every voter
in the State, and two or three, at
different intervals, into the hands
of every man who ever voted the
Republican ticket. Let a cam
paign of truth and education be
begun at once and let it be vigor-

The so-called Harmony Prop
osition" from Mr.. J. Frank
Alice, chairman of the Union
Republican Committee, was re-
iected by the Republican State
Committee at its meeting at
Dover on Tuesday for reasons
most clearly, and most forcibly
stated, the committees full re
port appearing elsewhere in to
days TRANSCRIPT. It is said
Mr.. Allee's communication was
unauthorized by his committee
this may or may not be correct.
1t was treated, however, as Of
fetal and the answer thereto
should be read and studied by
every Delaware Republican.
The Republican Committee could
see in the Harmony" offer only
a proposition to elect Mr.. Ad-
dicks to the U. S. Senate,-which
is SO apparent that every man
who runs may read. Further
more the Union Republicans
claim to be the majority faction
or party and proposed in their
"Harmony" plan to take the
first choice Of everything. Hav-
ing opposed from the first the
unusual and insulting efforts Of
Mr.. Addicks to buy and usurp
the United States Senatorship
and the Republican Party in
Delaware, as self respecting
citizens as well as party men,
the members of that committee
could do nothing else than reject
the Alice proposition. What else
could they have done? For the
sake Of unity and party success,
which is still possible if the
rank and file Of Delaware Re
publicans so decide, the columns
of THE TRANSCRIPT are open to
the statement of every possible
plan, and Republicans of all
shades Of opinion are invited to a
public hearing. Let there be
Council Fires built in every
neighborhood and let the wisdom
of the "fathers be listened to
by the younger men. Hope is
not dead.
To the want-to-win" Repub-
licans whether from a desire to
defeat Delaware Democracy or
to succeed to the offices, the
statement Of the Republican
Party through this whole divi-
sion of the party as set forth by
the committee at Dover, must
forcibly appeal. Read the har-
mony and compromise offers of
the past, as set forth in that re-
port, and answer if they have
not been fair and alike honorable

ment Of Mr.. Addicks, undenied

sciences answer through the

coNsPIRED TO PREVENT ELECTION OF
SENATOR.

The members of our party voted through
out the session for various Republicans and
exhausted every effort to elect a Senator
The candidates tried by every means at
their command to secure an election, and
all, excepting Mr.. Addicks, finally with
drew in favor of Colonel Henry A. dupont,
for whom, on the last day of the session
fifteen votes were cast-four so-calIed Re.
publicans, at the behest of Mr.. Addicks,
refused to vote with the fifteen. In ad-
dition Mr.. Addicks conspired with the
Democrats to prevent an election, by en-
tering into an agreement with William T.
Watson, Democrat, to take part in the
joint assembly of the two houses and vote
for Senator, notwithstanding that the said
Watson, heretofore State Senator and
speaker of the Senate, who, by virtue of
such office became Governor upon the death
of Governor Marvil, on April 8, 1895, had
previously relinquished his right to par
ticipate in the proceedings Of the General
Assembly and Joint Assembly.
Mr.. Watson, although Governor Of the
State and not entitled to vote, on that day
appeared in joint assembly in pursuance Of
the Aforesaid compact with Mr. Addicks,
and voted; making total vote Of thirty, Of
which Colonel dupont received fifteen.

The Suns Eclipse.

All who are curious enough to take
the trouble to smoke bit OF glass can
get fairly good idea of total eclipse
of the sun, if the weather be clear, by
being up betimes this morning. In
this vicinity the time of greatest OBJ
scuration will be about o'clock and
35 minutes a. m. The moon will be-
gin to cross the suns disc about 55
minutes earlier. The shadow will
gradually deepen until the greatest
point of observation is reached, which
is about nine-tenths of totality, suff1-
cient to cause gloom deep enough to
see stars. Then the shadow begins to
diminish and continues diminishing for
the next hour, when the moon has
crossed the suns disc completely and
daylight is normally restored. This
astronomical sight is of rare occur
renee and will not take place again
in this locality until June 5th, 1918.

Shut Down on Athletics.

CHICAGO, May 27-The College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago,
decided to refuse recognition to ath-
letics, and no longer to give official
sanction to the college foot ball team.
DR.. VIM. E. Quine, dean of the col
lege, says: Experience has taught
us that college athletics have a demon
alizing and disturbing influence on the
students and interfere with the educa-
tional work of the college We don't
deny that athletics are of beneficial in
luence on the physical development of
the young men, but the interests of ed
ucation demand first recognition.

The fight must have lasted three
hours, when through our glasses, the
Beers could be seen stretching out in

At sunset the garrison seized the

C1oudle.s skies Promised.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 27-Cloudless
skies are reported tonight from the
various temporary observatories scat
tered along the shadow track of to-
morrow mornings eclipse from Alaba-
ma to North Carolina. The observers
in charge at the different stations were
in highly hopeful mood tonight when
in addition to favorable local outlooks
Prof. Moore's special bulletin fore
casting propitious conditions for to-
morrows event was received. Many
of the astronomers in order that no
chance may be overlooked and that ev-
en- the possibility of accident may be
removed, will remain up all night.
The path of the eclipse takes a course
across a portion of the globe, starting
in the Pacific ocean at a point south
west of Capt st. Lucas, in lower Cali
fornia. 1t will be first observed on
land on the west coast of Mexico,
whence the moons shadow travels at
a velocity of thousand miles an hour,
being total" at New Orleans at 1880
in the morning and on the Atlantic
coast at or near Norfolk about an hour
later.
The United States observers settled
upon two points, Pinehurst, N. c., and
GAINESVILLE, Ca, as the best for OBJ
servation, owing in the first place to
their being in the center of path of
totality,' and in the second to the prob
able clearness of the atmosphere there
at this season of the year.
The second American party of OBJ
servation will take it's stand at Tripoli
in North Africa. The results of the
observation by the government forces
in Georgia will be cabled to Tripoli,
where the astronomers will not be
called upon to bring their telescope
into play unail o'clock in the after
noon. The information wired to North
Africa will be used for the guidance of
the government observers there.

The End in Sight.

LONDON, May 2S.-The Lourenzo
Marques correspondent of the Times in
dispatch dated Saturday says:
During the week the Beers have
successfully deceived even the best in
formed residents with reference to the
probable course of events when Lord
Roberts entered the Transvaal. While
one section declares that all serious
fighting is ended, another Is equally
convinced that the Burghers will make
stand at johannesburg and Pretoria.
Men who have been present at the
recent engagements describe them not
as strategical retreats, but as ignomi-
nous routs wholly unjustiffed by the
initial damage inflicted by the British.
Such observers are convinced that all
operations of military interest are
now at an end
Captain Alum, the Norwegian mil
itary attache, is returning home. In
deed, so great is the eagerness of con-
tinental residents to quit the Trans
wall that both the Germans and
French steamers are unable to cope
with the demand for berths.
ut Is rumored here that Cape rebel
leaders, who are now serving with the
Beers, are anxious to escape to Europe
and that certain members of the Cape
parliament are waiting on the borders
for favorable opportunity to start"

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Important
advices from Rome are expected here
soon concerning the vacant sees of CO.
lumbus, Dubuque and Fort Wayne,
over the appointment Of whose bishops
there is the usual friction. When
Bishop Watterson, Of Columbus. died
thirteen months ago, it was generally
supposed by the priests of that juris-
diction that the vacancy would be fill
ed in short time, but on account of
the differences that have arisen over
the claims of Mgr Thomas Thorpe,
OF Cleveland, and DR.. Henry Moeller,
secretary of the Cincinnati archdio-
cese, to the succession, no appointment
has yet been made. 1t is learned,
however, that the authorities in Rome
favor the latter priest, who received
his theological training there and is
still a comparatively young man.
Rev. DR.. Rocker, of the papal lega-
tion in this city, knows Dr. Moeller
we'll, but, by reason of the antagonism
against his appointment from certain
quarters, he is not over-sanguine as
to that candidates selection. Both
Archbishop Martinelli and DR.. Rocker
would not be surprised if compro-
mise candidate, acceptable alike to the
prelates of the Cincinnati province and
the priests of Columbus, was chosen at
the forthcoming consistory.
AS regards the vacant archdiocese
of Dubuque, whose last incumbent
died three months ago, similar disaf-
lection exists, which serves to retard
his successors appointment. The
leading candidates embrace Archbishop
Keane, of the Catholic University here,
Bishop Cosgrove, Of Davenport, Iowa, a
suffragan prelate Of Dubuque, and
Father Carroll, of the same city. 1t has
long been tacitly understood among
the American hierarchy that the first
vacancy of this kind would be given
to Archbishop Keane, whose present
title Archbishop of Damascus" is only
and honorary distinction, but the Ger
man priests of Dubuque are opposed
to his selection.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY

The story opens at lockwood Hall,
where Wilfred Erleston, brother OF the
Squire, is lying seriously i'll as the
result of an accident. The doctor rec
ommends Mrs. Savile, a young and
pretty widow, and during the eonva-
lescence of the patient she acts as his
secretary, and mutual sympathy
springs up between them. There ap-
pears, however, to be something on the
sick mans mind, and he frequently
gives way to expressions of discon-
tent at his illness.
When the convalescent stage has far
advanced another woman appears on
the scene. Her name is Aurelia Dex-
ter, who is supposed to be an Ameri-
can, and entertains parties with her
limitations of the mockingbird. She
visits lockwood, and is astounded to
find Wilfred there. She conceals her
establishment, but it is obvious that
she knows something of his past. It
is soon understood that she intends to
play dangerous game in the house.
We can assure our readers that the
story which opens so mysteriously will
maintain its interest to the close. In
Vulnerable complications arise, and the
love which springs up between the
patient and nurse is severely put to
the test in unexpected ways.
