volved were more satisfactorily ar.
ranged.
Then, when President Roosevelt
succeeded, though anxious to return
to private ife-for Secretary Long
will never again enter public ife-a
strong feeling of loyalty towards Mr..
Roosevelt induced the secretary to de.
fer his retirement until it was con.
venient for the president to make a
change. Recently Mr.. Long has been
in Massachusetts, making arrange
ments with his old legal connections
to re-enter the practice of law and he
has had his house at bingham put in
order for his occupation. When Mr..
Long entered the cabinet originally
he was an active member of the firm
of Hemingway & Long, a well known
legal firm of Boston. He always has
maintained silent connection with
the concern and will again become an
active partner.
Mr.. Moody's selection for the post
of secretary of the navy was the out
come OF an interesting contest. There
were no less thanhalf dozen aspirants
but the struggle finally narrowed down
to two representatives in congress-
Mr.. Foss of Illinois, chairman of the
naval committee of the house, who
had the energetic support of his West
ern colleagues, and Mr.. Moody, for
whom Senator Lodge made the win
ming fight. It was for time in doubt
whether Mr.. Moody would not be
placed in some important foreign mis-
sion rather than in the navy depart
ment but he preferred to stay at home.

THE CITY CHARTER.

The city charter, as drawn by
MeSsrs. Miner, Barto and Kelsey,
and revised, altered and approved
by the charter commission, is prac-
tically finished, and will doubtless
be printed in full next week in
both city papers. A meeting of the
commission will be held this even
ing to arrange for such publication.
With the full text before them the
voters will have opportunity to
consider all of its provisions, and
those who take pains to compare it
with the present charter will OBJ
serve score of provisions in the
new which are, UNNECESSARILY bet
ter than the old. 1t is not perfect
LIN the very nature of things per-
lection could not be expected; but
it has this one valuable feature: 1t
can be amended from time to time
as occasion demands, whereas the
present charter is special law OF
the legislature, and therefore be-
yond the reach of either the city
or the state to change in any par
ticular. The "home government
act, which empowers the city to
frame a new charter, makes it i'm
perative that any lawful amend
ment shall be submitted to the
vote of the people upon the petit
ton of five per centum of the legal
voters.
If there be any omissions or any
provisions not satisfactory to the
people they can and will be
changed as demanded by the peo-
pie. The commission is, DESTROYS
of giving opportunity for the full
est and widest discussion of the
new charter before its submission
at the polls, confident that upon
its merits it will receive the un-
qualified approval of a vast major
ity of the people affected by it.
1t is the purpose of the HERALD
to call attention to the specific i'm
provements of the new charter
over the old when the new Shall
be printed, that it may be more
readily appreciated by reference
to the text.

Mr.. Berry Asks for Action on a Reso.
luton in Committee.
Washington, March 12.-When the
senate convened Mr.. Berry (Ark.)
in a privileged statement, said he had
introduced early in the present ses-
sion a resolution providing for the
election of senators by direct vote OF
the people. This together with SIM
liar resolution adopted by the house
of representatives had been referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections. The house had passed such
a resolution four times, but the ques-
ton never had been considered by the
senate.
He was being pressed constantly, he
said, by correspondents to know when
a vote would be taken upon the ques-
ton by the senate. He did not. want
to move to discharge the committee
from consideration of the resolution
but he desired to inquire of the chair
man of the committee whether the
senate could not have vote upon the
resolution during the present session.
Mr.. Burrows (Mich-), chairman of
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions, after saying that what Mr.. Berry
had said was true, added: -
81 will say to the senator that there
is no disposition on the part of the
committee to shirk responsibility in
connection with the resolution. Ac-
ton upon it will be taken and re-
port on it will be made"
In time time to take a vote upon it
at this session." inquired Mr.. Berry.
81 have no doubt of it," replied Mr..
Burrows.
Mr. Hoar, bitter opponent of the
proposed plan, then spoke at length In
opposition to the resolution.
At the conclusion of the debate,
which had been proceeding by unan-
imous consent, the senate passed 81
private pension bills.
The senate then at o'clock resumed
consideration of the ship subsidy bill,
Mr.. Mallory (Fla.), one of the Demo
cratic members of the committee on
commerce, addressed the senate in op-
position to the measure.

FAILS TO PASS.
HOUSE RESOLUTION TO INVEST
GATE RUMoRs REGARDING
CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
THAYER CAUSES A FURRY

Asks That a Committee Be Appointed
to Look Into Charges That the Su.
gar Trust Is UnduIy Active in Favor
of the ProposaI-chair uphoIds a
Point of Order Against the Motion
and Is Sustained by the Majority.
Washington, March 12.-When the
house met Mr.. Thayer (Mass.) created
question of privilege which he said
involved the dignity of the house and
the safety of its members"
He therefore presented a resolution
setting forth many rumors regarding
Cuban reciprocity, together with allie
cations that the, sugar trust was to be
the chief beneficiary of such reciproc-
ity; that it was substituting newspa-
pers, establishing literary bureaus and
in other ways attempting to create
public sentiment in favor of Cuban re-
ciprocity.
The resolution declares that the dig
nifty of the house was involved and
called for a special committee of seven
members to investigate the subject.
Mr.. Loud made point of order
against the resolution which was sus-
tanned by the speaker.
Mr.. Thayer appealed from the deci-
sion of the chair.
Il move to lay the appeal On the
table," instantly cried Mr.. Payne, the
Republican floor leader.
Mr.. Thayer demanded the ayes and
nays and the roll was called.
The Republicans voted solidly for
the motion to lay the appeal on the
table, while two Democrats, Messrs.
Fleming (Ga.) and McClellen IN. "
broke away from their party associ-
ates and voted with the Republicans.
The appeal was laid on the table, 125
to 81.
The house then went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Littlefield of Maine
in the chair and entered upon the
consideration of the postoff1ce appro-
priation bill. AS Mr.. Littlefield took
the chair there was an outburst of ap-
plause on both sides of the house.
Mr.. Loud (Cal.), in charge of the
bill, explained it's provisions in pre-
liminary statement.
Mr.. Brantley (Ga.), taking advan-
tage of the latitude allowed in general
debate on an appropriation bill. dis
cussed the question of Cuban recipro-
city. He contended that whatever was
to be done should be done speedily.
He favored reciprocity.

GENERAL LORD METHUEN.

capture of General Methuen, is as fol
lows:
II greatly regret to have to send you
bad news of Methuen. He was NOV.
ing with 900 mounted men, under Ma.
jor Paris, and 800 infantry, guns and
a pompom, from Wynburg to Lichten'
burg, and was to meet Grenfell, with
1900 mounted men, at Rovirainesfon
tein. Friday morning he was attacked
by Delarey's force, between Twe-Bosch
and Palmieteknill. The Beers charged
on. three sides.
eFive hundred and fifty men have
come in at Maribogs and Kraaipan.
They were pursued by the Beers four
miles from the scene of the action.
They report that Methuen and Paris,
with the, guns, baggage, etc., were cap
tured by the Beers. Methuen, when
last seen, was prisoner. I have no
details of the casualties, and suggest
delaying publication till can send
defpite news. think this sudden re-
vival of activity on the part of De
larey is to draw off the troops pressing
Dewet.
Details of the Battle.
In a second dispatch dated Sunday,
March 8, Lord Kitchener says:
Paris has come in at Kraaipan,
with the remainder of the men. He re-
ports that the column was moving in
two parties. One, with the OK wagons.
left TWe-Bosch at 8 a. m. The other,
with the mule wagons, started an
hour later, Just before dawn the Beers
attacked. Before reinforcements could
reach them the rear guard broke. In
the meantime a large number of
Beers gallOped up on both TANKS.
These, at first, were checked by the
flank parties, but the panic and STAN
pede of the mules had begun and all
the mule wagons, with terrible mix
ture of mounted men, rushed past the
OK wagons. All efforts to check them
were unavailing.
major Paris collected 40 men and
occupied a position a mile in front OF
the OK wagons, which were then halt
ed. After gallant but useless de
tense the enemy rushed into the OK
wagons and Methuen was wounded in
the thigh. Paris, being surrounded
surrendered at 10 a. m. Methuen is
still in the Boer camp"
ualties, as already cabled. The killed
include Lieutenants G. r. Venning and
r. p. w. Nesham of the Royal artil-
lery, who were both killed while serv.
ing their guns with case shot.
AS Lord Kitchener announced that
Major Paris had surrendered and also
telegraphed that he had reached Kraa-
ipan with the remainder of the men,
it may be inferred that the Beers sub
sequently released the major and his
companions.
Lord Kitchener's dispatch announc.
ing the disaster to General Methuen's
forces was read in both the house OF
lords and the house of commons by
Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief
and Mr.. Brodrick, the war secretary
respectively. They both paid tributes
to General Methuen, the former ex
pressing his appreciation of Methuen's
success through the war, declaring
that his task of forcing the Boer posi-
ton at Magersfontein was an almost
impossible one
