While some newspapers and individu-

While some newspapers and individu-
ais continue to speak of Secretary
Wilson as "Tama jim" we are re-
minded by the Dubuque Her
ald-TeIegraPh that there is no
longer reason why they
should. The reason disappeared when
James +. Wilson died. Both Wilson's,
James F., of Mount Pleasant, and
James, of Tama. were prominent in
politics, and both were sent to con-
gress. One was frequently con-
founded with the other, and
to distinguish them Wilson of
lama, was dubbed llama Jim The
term was promptly and generally
adopted, and whenever it was applied
everybody knew which of the Wilson's
was meant. With the passing of Sen
atOr Wilson, which left the present
secretary the only distinguished man
of his name in the state of Iowa, the
need for the distinction ceased. Yet
so powerful is habit that the sobri-
quet survives, and James Wilson will
doubtless be called llama Jim"
until he has been gathered to his
fathers.

WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Bad Setback For the British.

The British suffered one of the worst
of their entire experience in South
Africa last week, when Lord Methuen was
captured and column OF 1900 put to igno-
rout by the Beers under Delarey.
The affair occurred in Orange River col
ony. Nine hundred mounted men and
300 infantry had set out before dawn with
a convoy drawn by oxen and mules to
effect a juncture with another force.
Lord Methuen accompanied it. Delarey,
who had within a week previous inflicted
a severe blow on the British, was lurking
in the vicinity. OF a sudden, the Beers
attacked the struggling British line on
three sides, rushing it, stampeding the
animals and soon turning the whole into
utter rout. They chased 500 British yeo-
manry for four miles. -Four guns and all
the baggage fell into their hands. Meth
uen was wounded in the thigh and cap
tHred. The British lost over 20 killed,
about so wounded and 200 captured.
When the reverse was announced in the
House of Commons, the Irish members
cheered.

This mornings Free Press contains the
following despatch from Rutland
1T is stated by friends OF the Hon.
Fletcher ID. Proctor, speaker OF the YER
mont House of Representatives, that
strong pressure is being brought TO bear
upon him to allow the use of his name as a
candidate for the governorship. They say
there is pronounced demand from differ
ent parts of the state for a candidate, who
is thoroughly identified with the interests
of Vermont and in touch with the spirit of
her people; and many urge that it would
relieve an embarrassing situation which
has already resulted in considerable
bitterness of feeling in the canvass, If
third candidate were to be an
nounced upon whom all could unite.
His friends emphatically express the con-
fident belief that he will yield to the
strong pressure that is being exerted
upon him, and it can be accepted as GER
tain that he viii be a candidate for the Re

The Senate is debating the ship subsidy
bill, which will reach vote there Monday.
Ii is also considering a measure for the
protection Of the president. The Senate
sub committee considering the interoeean-
ic canal has reported that the Panama
company could not give proper title.
The House on Monday passed the bill
classifying the rural free delivery service,
and placing carriers under the contract
system The maximum salary Of carriers
was raised from 800 TO $500. The Repub-
licans in the House are badly split over
the question Of Cuban reciprocity. -Four
party conferences have been held without
reaching an agreement The proposition
to give Cuban sugar 70 per cent reduction
in return for concessions from Cuba meets
with strong opposition from beet sugar
sections. The president has reiterated
that he still favors Cuban reciprocity.
