Dem, by 10 plurality. The vote was as
follows: Total vote for mayor, 1921; En-

When, n little more than a year ago,
Governor Hill selected him for inspec-
tor general of rifle practice upon his
official staff. every newspaper man
fran Caribou to old York fired his hat
i'm the air and shouted with joy; for
Elliott had endeared himself to his col
leagues of the press during years of
loyal service. and they knew he would
be equally congeniai in the ranks of the

Nor have they been disappointed. He
has gone through a year of hard work
and has received nothing but praise,
not only from the men but from his
superiors as well. Last year the Maine
National Guard was represented at the
international meet at Sea Girt, n. j.,
by a team of IL men and three substi-
tdtes. Col. Dill accompanied the boys
and was proud of the splendid record
which they made there.
Last evening. the colonel went to

surprise to the colonel, but he acknowl-
edged its presentation in few we'll

ed by the gift, coming as it did from
the boys over whom he had had COM
mand, and he couldn't help feeling
somewhat dazed for a moment or two
And then he thanked them: thanked

Col. Dill came home on the morning

The sword will be sacredly preserved
by the colonel and the donors will ever

and 800 infantry, four guns and POM

and was to meet Green fell, with 1900
mounted men at Roviraines Fontein,

was attacked by Delarey's force, be-

The Beers charged on three sides.
Five hundred and fifty men have

Before reinforcements could reach

galloped up on both flanks. These. at
first, We're checked by the flank parties;
but the panic and stampede of the
mules had begun, and all the mule
wagons, with terrible mixture of
mounted men, rushed past the OK
wagons. All efforts to check them
were unavailing. Major Paris collected
40 men and occupied position a mile
in front of ox-wagons, which were then
halted. After a gallant but useless de-
fence, the enemy rushed into the OK
wagons and Methuen was wounded In
the thigh. Paris, being surrounded,
surrendered at 10 A. M. Methuen is

Then follows the numbers of the
casualties as already cabled. The
killed include Lieuts. G.. r. Venning

London March 10.-It was announced,
today. that Gen. Lord Methuen and
four guns had been captured by the
Beers commanded by Gen. Delarey.
The news came like a thunderbolt to
London. The extra editions of the even
ing papers giving an account of the
disaster were eagerly bought up and
their readers hurried through the
streets with anxious faces and bitter
remarks were passed on the subject of
the governments declaration that the
war in South Africa was over. The
news came too late to affect business
on the stock Exchange but excited curb
dealings quickly followed the closing.
in which South Africans slumped
heavily.
The news caused excitement on the
mine market. ThrOngmorton street
was thronged with South African oper-
ators eagerly inquiring for details of
the British defeat and watching the ef-
feet of the announcement Shares were
offered freely at first. but by 6 o'clock
the excitement had abated and the
curb tone hardened.
The news was received in the House
of Commons amid great excitement.
The reading of Lord Kitchener's tele-
gram by the war secretary, Mr.. Brod-
rick. was listened to in deep silence,
which was broken by loud Irish cheers.
Instantly there were cries of Shame,
shame from the government benches,
then the Irish members seemed to
think better of their outbreak and sud-
denly subsided. The subsequent eulo-
CYSTIC references to Gen. Methuen were
received with cheers.
In brief. Lord Kitchener announced
that when Gen. Methuen was captured
wounded with four guns, three British
officers and 3S men We're killed, and five
officers and ~ men were wounded. In
addition one officer and 200 men We're
reported missing.
