Mckinley and a Reporter
CThe Chautauuuan.)

During one of the Congressional cam
paigns he was followed from place to
place by a reporter for q paper Of OppO-
site political faith, who is described as be
ing one Of those ''shrewd, persistent fel-
lows who are always at work, quick to
see an opportunity, and skilled in making
the most of it" While Mr.. Mckinley
was annoyed by the misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected, he
could not help admiring the skill and per-
sistcncy with which lie was assailed. His
admiration, too, was not unmiXed with
compassion. for the reporter was i'll, poorly
clad, and had an annoying cough. One
night Mr.. Mckinley took a closed carriage
for II nearby town mt which he was an
nounced to speak The weather was
wretchedly raw and cold, and what fol-
lowed is thus described:
He had not gone far when he heard
that cough. and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver in the exposed
seat The Major called to the driver to
stop, and alighted Get down off that
seat, young man." he said. The reporter
Obeyed, thinking the time for the Majors
vengeance had come Here" said Mr..
Mckinley, taking off his ogercOat, 'yOu

porter. Il guess you don't know who |

PERSONAL.

The funeral services in memory OF ReV.
VIM. \. Spencer. ID. D., which were held
in Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
Philadelphia, Sept. %, were of unusual
importance and interest. DIR. Spencer was
veteran of a splendid record, and after
his discharge he won a high place in the
church and among scholars by his elo
qrience, learning and zeal. In his address
Bishop Fowler said:
There are other things about his life,
not so familiar to most of you, that ought
to be mentioned. As a soldier he was three
times recommended for promotion in the
Regular Army for courage oil the field.
He was a private i'll the Sth Ill Cav. He
manifested his superb chara cter away
back there in early manhood. lie was an
Orderly Sergeant at Antietam. Another
Sergeant, whom he ranked, and three pri-
yate soldiers were put in his charge, and
he was directed by the Officer of the Day
to go as near Richmond as he could and
come back. They went on their way;
they picked up between the two armies
Is Confederate StragGlcrS; he sent the
other Sergeant and two of the privatcS
back with the prisoners. He went for
ward with the remaining soldier. They
were pushing their way through the woods
and through thicket when he came into
an open road, a narrow road, and sudden
ly saw that just on the other side of that
road, behind rail fence, were 26 Con-
federate rifles peeping through the cracks
of the fence. He said to me, L knew that
it was Libby or death or something des-
perate; did not want either of the first
two, so | tried the last He pulled out
his revolver, and with 4 cry of authority
| called out, Surrender At that second
the one private with him climbed through
the brush. The ConfederateS, thinking
that possibly company or regiment was
behind them, threw down their arms, and
the private gathered them up while he
kept guard over them, and then marched
them through gap in the fence back to
camp, prisoners, only against 26. He
said, with n little smile, After they got
out beyond the thicket, where it was evil
dent there were but two of us, the air
was blue for $50 feet around from the re-
marks of those Confederates.'
Other distinguished ministers a. the
Methodist Church paid equally high .rib-
ute to his learning and his character as
a man.

that / was very emphatic in admonishing
him against being n candidate, when he

rcsentative of Davis, as he had been OF
Lincoln, and also with Senator Fenton,
of New York. who was ardently working
in the liberal cause and was a devoted
friend of Greeley; and, when we went to
Cincinnati, we confidently expected that
the combination could be made success
full. Gen. Frank Z. Blair. of Missouri,
who represented r. Gratz Brown, was re
sponsiblc for the defeat of the Davis and
Greeley combination. He perfected an ar
rangcment between the ultra friends OF
Greeley, by which the latter should be
nominated for President and Brown for
Nicc-President: and that compelled the
New York delegation to withdraw from
the Dayis-Greeiey agreement, and one
fourth of the delegation from my own
State supported the GreeleyBrown ticket.

DE WET MUST YIELD, TOO.
Kitchener Not Likely to Consider
Partial Surrender.

LONDON March 9.-The interest in
South Africa chiefly centres in the con-
ference between General Kitchener and
Gen. Louis Botha. the BOer commander
in-Chief
There is belief in all well-informed
quarters that if Botha can induce all the
commandants to lay down Their arms in
Guiding De Wet, the British will under
take that no BOer prisoners shall be
transported that Cape Colony rebels who
surrender will not be criminally prose-
cuted. and help be given the Beers until
they are fairly on their feet again. The
chief difficulty seems To be with De Wet.
Unless he and all other commandants
surrender the war will certainly con
tinue General Kitchener is not likely to
be satisfied with n partial surrender as
many burghers who might come in on
General Botha's advice would certainly
rejoin the famous De Wet or some other
stern irrecOncilable.
Meanwhile, General French and some
other British commanders are meeting
with considerable success but not of
such a nature as is likely to compel the
end Of fighting within a short time.
