SMITH SUES
FOR LIBEL.

Through his attorney, Robert C.
liarman. councilman Henry Il. Smith
has entered suit in the Superior
ICourt for libel, against William L.
Conner, Peter P. Foord, Patrick Seery
and Thomas i. MCCARTHY, members
OF the Eleventh Ward Democratic
Legion, who drafted the resolutions.
condemning Smith and calling upon
to resign.
The suits were filed with the pro-
thonotary yesterday afternoon and
bail fixed in the writ at $1,000. which
is the amount Of damages sued for in
each case.
Capiases were placed IN the hands
OF Sheriff Samuel A. Mcdaniel to lc
sserved.
Mr.. Smiths statement of the case.
is that while lie was IL constable of
this county he arrested James Dula-
ney on the charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenccs from various
people. Seven different charges we're
preferred and Dulaney was arrested
upon several different warrants ard
held for jail on seven different charges
He was unable to obtain bail and was
taken to jail by Mr. Smith.
tnder The law IL was necessary to
arraign Dulaney ON each Of the seven
charges and hold him for court on
each OF the charges which was sus-
tanned. This was done.
In accordance with the usual Gus.
tom, the justice Of the peace. who in
this case was John +. DAILY, made out
the bill for arraigning the man end
committing him to jail.
Mr.. Smith says he knew nothing of
how the bill was made out until lie
read in the newspapers that Comp.
troller Kelley had refused to approve
the bill because the man had been
arraigned and committed TO jail seven
times in one day. The bill was re-
ferred to comr1ittee Of the Levy
Court and member of the commit.
tee called upon MIR. Smith for an en-
PLANTATION.
lie told the committee that he had
arrested the man seven times as re-
quircd by law in such cases. but that
he had only taket. the man to Jail |
once and knew nothing Of the bill i
charging for seven times. He also
states that the newspapers and the
Eleventh Ward Democratic Legion
could have asccrtained this state of |
The case had any of the members, or
aEy of tie reporters taken the trouble |
to inquire.
So TAR as is known this is the first |
time that the member Of an organi-
zation has been charged with libel for !
taking such action as indicated but
it is held by the counsel for Mr..
Smith that the action Of the commit
tee in preparing and having such res.
published was a libel upon
Mr.. Smith and the members of the
are liable.

TUTTLE'S HARDTASK
Commander of the Bear Wor-
thy of a Medal.
DRIFT CASKS PLACED on ICE FLOES.
Depnrturs Of the neyenue Cutter
Wus Greatly Delayed, but work
In the Arctics Is Praised
by Admiral Melville.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-News has
been received 10y Admiral Melville that
Captain Francis l'uttle, the command
ing officer Of the revenue cutter Bear,
placed the Melyille-B Bryant drift casks
on several of the largest ice foes to the
northward and westward of Point Bar
row.
The first landing was effected Aug.
ID in latitude ~ degrees north and
longitude 1866 degrees west Five casks
We're placed OH this foe. AS the South
erly winds had driven the loose ice
against the main pack the placing Of
the casks upon the main foe was a
hazardous undertaking.
Captain futile then steamed along
the edge of til" pnrk in Il northward
and westward direction and. reaching
II solid foe in latitude Is degrees 5
minutes north and longitude III de-
ErcrS :I3 minutes west placed four
casks on that Hoe and later placed five
more casks on Il foe in latitude 72.1S
north and longitude 1870 west.
About this point the lee trnnded to
the s0uthward and eastward. making
1t extremely hazardous for Captain
Tuttle to continue his work.
Through necessity Captain Shoema-
ker, the chief of the revenue marine
service. was compelled this year to de-
lay the departure of the Bear on her
arctic cruise until Il month after her
regular starting time. Captain Tnttle
therefore, in his opinion, has done re-
markably well in lEQTing the Melville
Bryant drift casks on three separate
foes.
Admiral Melville says II will be ex-
cerdingly satisfactory information to
those interested in arctic discoveries to
learn that the trend of the lee foe this
year is castcrly and that the current
has considerable strength. As the foes
were a good many miles apart and as
there are local currents in the Arctic
sea it is to be presumed that the casks
will turn up in different places.
Admiral Melville Is exceedingly
pleased with the character of the work
performed by the Bear and regards
the work of Captain Tuttle as worthy
of a medal Of honor of the treasury de-
partnent If not of congress.

There is much controversy over NJ. Edmond
Rostand's astonishing Compiegne ODE wherein
he treated the Czarina TO ola podrida Oh
ancient and modern illusions which startieu
the imperial visitors The consensus OF OPINION
Of the French Academy Is that the author OF
"Cyrano" and 'L'Aiglon'' is not success as q
poet laureate. His ode to KRUGER was an ex-
travagant hyperbole which failed to hnd an eciio
during the height Of the Partisan outburst OF
pro-Boer sympathy, and now the verdict Is tnat
the versi1cation of the ode to the Czarina is
somewhat tawdry, and that the Empress's
charms dissected with too familiar a hand
for even poetic license Friends of the poet and
dramatist try TO excuse his metrical and meta
phorical audacities on the ground that he is not
built for composition of official order; ne
must be fancy free not hampered by the neces-
sity of composing to order Notwithstanding the

soft, the Russian Ambassador in Paris. This
may console the young dramatist and Academi-
clan for the criticism of those who contend that
he is played out, and for the sarcasm leveled at
his verses in some of the so-called literary
salons wherein it was the fashion only twelve
