Says British Authority Don't Reach
Beyond Cannon Shot.

London, Oct. 28,-A long letter writ
ten recently by ex-President Steyn of
the Orange Free State to General
Kitchener was published today. He
asserts that the Boer cause despite
overwhelming odds progresses won
derfully and British authority reaches
no further than its cannons shoot.
Steyn closes by saying that he is still
willing to discuss peace provided the
terms presuppose the independence

TRIED TOPASS STOLEN MONEY
Detectives Attempted his Ar
rest but Failed
He Fled Through the City Stealing
Three Rigs aud Shooting Two
Blood Hounds

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2S-A desper-
ate man fought his way clear of two
city detectives here today and after
thrilling, chase made'good his escape.
In his race for liberty he utilized u
two-horse wagon and team, q horse and
buggy and riding horse, all forcibly
taken, while two dead bloodhounds
mark the first portion of his trail.
Officers believe the man is one of the
gang that held up the Great Northern
express near Wagner, Mont, last
June, his attempt to get change for n
$50 bill of the series secured in that
robbery attracting the attention of the
police to him.
At 10:30 o'clock this morning raw
boned man about five feet ten inches
in height, with a florid complexion,
offered the bill ia payment of small
purchase made at store on the pub
lie square. Difficulty in making the
change caused the salesman to closely
notice the bill, which proved to be on
the Montana bank to which the stolen
bills were consigned. The police were
quietly notified, the clerk meanwhile
delaying the matter of CHANGE.
Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were
soon on hand and approaching the
man demanded his name.

after another question or two Detec'

FREE TRADE AND CUBA


Washington, Oct. 24.-Free trade
with Cuba and annexation will be the
cry of the Democrats in the next Con-
gress. This is the word brought to
Washington within the last few days
by a prominent Democratic Senator.
The decision to urge such an insular
policy at the next session has been
reached by an understanding between
number of Democratic Senators
within the last two weeks. They have
taken upon themselves the task OF
making the policy known to members
of their own party in the House, and
urging agitation and fight along
that line,

THROW OFF JONES

The movement in this direction is
dicates a determination to throw off
his leadership in the Senate, just as
was done repeatedly during the last
session of Congress. Although not
definitely decided upon by a Demo-
cratic caucus, the suggestion tina, this
decision as to party line of action
without consultation or the advice of
Senator Jones was revolutionary, and
was made by a Dem ocratic Senator
now in Washington with shTug of
his shoulders and the laughing rejoin-
der. 1--WE Democrats are all leaders.
The Democrats will declare IN their
speeches on the floor of the Senate
and House that they are simply max
ing the old free trade fight their party
has been engaged in ever since there
was such an issue to hang on to.
They hope to have sentimental side
to add to their arguments. They will
picture a condition of dire distress on
the part of the Cubans. They will de-
clare to the galleries that the United
States has taken from the Cubans the
support which they had,in their rela
tions with Spain, and disregard theil
former cry of Spanish Oppression
They will urge that absolute free trade
with the island is duty tolthe Cuban'
which the United States should meet
They hope to present united policy
and there are indications thatth viii
be as near united as they have ever
been recently lyioniany.prop

Ii Hung Chang In disgrace.

Washington, April 4.-Although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure Of Ii Hung Chang
from Picking for Shanghai, the officials
are inclined to believe that the report is
true and that Ii Hung Chang is really
leaving Picking for good, because the
emperor is displeased with his conduct
of the negotiations. 1t was known here
when Ii Hung Chang was made one Of
the peace ENJOYS that he was pro-Rus-
sian in sentiment, but there was no
cause for complaint on that score until
the Manchuria agreement came up for
consideration. Now it is believed by
officials here that Ii has proved so ear
nest an advocate of the Russian cause
and has so strenuOusly worked for the
signature of the agreement that his
own government has felt obliged to de-
prive him of power in that direction.

NO TRUNK SEWER WANTED.

We do not want any such plan. We
have troubles enough of our own in
solving the sewage and sewerage
questions.
If we expect to have. the Staten
Island Sound .dredged, deepened and
$500, 900 expended on it to make it a
vastly better waterway than it4now
is, we do not want it filed up with
the sedimentation of sewerage from
the whole lower sPassaic district,
and we will not, if we can avoid 1T,
allow any part of Union county to
be used to any such end.
The government will hardly give
consent to any such scheme, and it
ought not to.
1t is understood that majority of
the state sewerage commissioners are
opposed to trunk sewers of any kind,
and this is matter of satisfaction to
the people of Union county. Eliza

OBITUARY..
william Bard McVickar.

William Bard McVickar died sud
denly of heart disease on Saturday
morning last.
Graduated from Columbia College,
he was in due time admitted to the
New York Bar. But his professional
activities were hampered by delicate
health which suggested a home in
Morristown. Whilst giving attention
to various professional duties in New
York he spent much of his time out of
doors. walking over our hills and
through the forests and becoming
intimately acquainted with the
flowers and birds and insect life which
his keen interested eye closely
studied.
His manly and graceful bearing
and fine face gave promise of the
beautiful spirit within.
Made of "fine clay" he was the
perfect gentleman, gentleman
through and through "sans peur ct
sans reproche
His remarkably fine reading of
Shakespeare showed a discrimina-
ting taste and poetic nature.
1t was only five days before his
death that Mr.. McVickar read his part
at the Shakespeare Club of this town
with such fine appreciation of the
dramatist that those who were present
counted it one of the 'noctes am
brosianae.
The two families among others from
whom he-was descended are shown in
his two family names, the Bards and
McVickars, two of New York's old
families for generations past, highly
educated, and courtly.
Mr.. McVickar was member of the
"Delta Phi" fraternity, a college
society which has its chapters scat
tered among our various colleges and
his death leaves five members in
Morristown, graduates of three
different colleges.
Those of us who knew him cannot
forget him. F. G. B.

FOR GovERNoR-wHo7

The editor of the Toms River Courier,
who, by the way, is close student OF
matters political in the Republican
party, under the caption of "For Gov
ernor-Who?" comments on the outlook
as follows:
Who will be the Republican nominee
for Governor? In January, most of the
working Republicans of the State would
have said-Mahlon Pitney. Then came
the appointment of the Senator from
Morris to the Supreme Court bench, and
the answer was changed to-Franklin
Murphy,
Just now everyone is at sea- Mr..
Murphy is a polished gentleman, an able
manipulation of men, a man worthy of
any honor the Republican party in New
Jersey could give him. But it seems to
be questioned whether he is or is not an
active candidate. For nearly two
months he has made no sign.
Meantime other names are quoted.
Congressman Gardner was at the State
house last week, and again and again
was asked if he would allow his name to
be used. But he so far has refused, and
told the questioner he was not in the
race.
Senator E. G. Stokes, of Cumberland
Governor Voorhees, closest confidante,
would please thousands Of the Republican
voters, and like Mr.. Gardner, would
come from South Jersey. which for long
years has not been recognized with q
Gubernatorial nomination. But he begins
five years as Clerk in Chancery at So 600
year. When questioned point blank he
said to the writer that he once had
aspirations in that direction, but now
preferred not to be candidate and be-
sides he was for Mr.. Murphy if the latter
was candidate.
A strong pull is being made by num-
Der of the younger men in the States
councils, Senators, members of the State
Committee, etc., to get Senator Pitney
to re-enter the fight. No one questions
the result were he a candidate, but he
smilingly says: "No, 1 decided all this
six weeks ago. and can't change it,"
First Assistant Postmaster General
w. M. johnson, Bergen County, was at
the Capitol last week. He also has ad-
herents, and is a man of whom the State
would be proud of as Governor. But he
so far has refused to be considered an
active candidate"
Senator Charles A. Reed, of Somerset,
who was leader in the Assembly, has
been five years Senator, twice leader of
his party and once President of the
Senate, might, if he would consent, con-
centrate upon himself the forces that
were back of Senator Pitney. And he
is probably the one man in the State,
aside from Senator Pitney who could
But he also refuses to be considered a
candidate.
So at present, it looks more like Mr..
Murphy than any one else. Still as Sena-
tor Stokes said last Friday night no
man in New Jersey is big enough to re-
fuse the nomination for Governor if it
should come to him."

The "steel trust, as the enemies of

More men are employed at the forge
today than ever before in the history
of the United States. Higher wages
are paid now than were paid two,
three and four years ago, when there

the consolidation of vast powers of

was formed, controlled the European
market and sent great quantities of
their products into the United States
