them to do so. Napoleon Is said to
nave told Admiral Coekburn that he
could get many Of them to join him.
Admiral Sir Erasmus Ommanney de-
clares these statements embody what he
believes to be a shameless slander upon
the gallant admiral and his good crew
Admiral Ommanney said:
I hold that Lord Rosebery ought to
publish the evidence upon which he bases
charges SO grave and sensational He
casts reflection upon a very distinguish
ed officer. His Indictment reads as if
1t were inspired by foreign foe. Ad-
miral Cockburn fought with conspicuous
brllliancy through the Napoleonic wars
and the American war OF 1872 He was
notorious as a strict dsciplinarian."
There is reason to believe that the naval
chiefs are not alone in their objections
to parts of Lord Rosebery's book. Many
Britishers resent what they term the
''pro-Freneh bias OF the author, and
say that evidently he did not burn much
midnight oil searching for points OF
view favorable to England's treatment
of the fallen emperor.

STRIKE IN SCRANTON.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 25.-Owing to the
successful work of the strilSng street car
men. ten of the thirteen men brought
from Syracuse, n. Y, to- take their
places were sent home today, and two
others were induced to quit and agreed
not to go back to work. One of them
was willing to leave town, but refused
to accept money from the strikers He
said he would walk every step to Syra-
cuse before taking money out of the
strikers treasury. He also said he was
told there was no strike here, and IL
things were not satisfactory when he ar
rived here he would be furnished his fare
home
Only two cars were run in the whole
county today. One of these, on which
Supt. Patterson was the motorman, ran
off the track at IL o'clock and was so
badly damaged that it had to be taken
to the barn. No other car was sent to
replace it, and at 1:30 the other of the
two was taken off and retired. Thirty
one men arrived tonight to take the
strikers places, but twelve of these
quit at the railway station at the So
ncitattons of the strikers scouts, and
promised to go back to New York They
say they We're recruited through adver.
tlsements in a paper to come to Scran-
ton to work on a new road. and none
of them had any idea there was a strike
in progress here.

and the people. To succeed Cuhman X.
Davis, l am in favor of the announced
cnoice of the Minneapolis delegation, and
OF that of many other legislators
throughout the state, namely, Robert
G. Evans
Mr.. Evans is now and always has
been my good friend. While I am hui
man and naturally felt some regret that
my home delegation did not, in its wis
dom see fit to indorse me for the position
or United States senator, l am none the
less gratified at the reasons alleged by
many of the delegates for the course.
They were pleased to say that I had
served my district and the state faith
fully and well for a number Of terms
in congress and they felt it better that
l continue my service in my present po-
s1tion. l am especially pleased that their
choice fell upon so able man as Mr..
Evans. student, a man of affairs and
a worthy and popular resident Of Mime
sofas greatest city.
'I have felt all along, and do now,
that personal ambitions and preferences
must remain in allegiance to the main
question of the return of a United States
senator from Minneapolis, the city
whence. by all rules of right and promi-
nence, a successor to Mr.. Davis should
come
Mr.. Evans has been brought up in the
best school of Republican politics, has
always proved himself loyal to his party,
to his friends and to his constituents and
l heartily commend the delegation for
having chosen so worthy a successor 10
Senator Davis, while 1 congratulate, as
well, the state and the nation at largo
that the choice has fallen upon so good
a citizen.
Il want to say further that Mr. Evans
will receive my cordial and hearty sup
port. AS far as I am able to influence
my friends they, too, shall give Mr..
Evans their warm support. While it
seems to me that with the support that
Mr. Evans now has there should be no
doubt as to his election, yet I wish % i'm
press the fact that these are critical tines
for the party and there must be TO fall
terins in the support accorded the choice
of So loyal a Republican as Robert c.
Evans. He must be elected, and 1 b.
leve he VIII be.
What | have said I mean. I have no
mental reservations. I have no second
choice-the man who has a second choice
is no friend of Mr.. Evans. l do not know
how 10 make my language any palmer
than L have done as above.

POLICE ARE At SEA.
NO TRACE FOUND OF MISSING MAG
GLE uOEI

PUEBLO, Col, Dec. 25-The police
have failed to unearth any clue to the
whereabouts of Maggie Hoel, the young
woman who mysteriously disappeared
three days ago from her uncle's home
near this city. The impression is given
that she left of her own accord. one
theory is that the girl fed to avoid
fulfilling her marriage engagement,
which was set for two or three months
afead. There is a probability that the
unknown ard we'll dressed woman who
was in that vicinity in g coach drawn
by white horses on the morning previous
TO her disappearance, had some connec
ton with the mystery, though the stranc
woman gave a sharp and repelIing reply
to Miss Hoei when the girl inquired if
she could assist her. The house is in
an isolated place on the river bottoms
surrounded by thiclets and the presencs
there of a fine coach and richly dressed
woman is something very unusual.

Brenner's judgment OF $375 damages
against r. w. Boeser for forcibly hug
ging and kissing her at Leon, To-, was
affirmed by the supreme court in an opin-

was no reason why she should not re-
ccive this amount. as the hugging and
kissing were foroible and against her
will. One of the reasons given by B9e-

be affirmed was that the young woman
