Dover, April 25.-Leading citizens Of
the two lower counties are firing hyot-
shot into the Union Republicans for
their management OF Kent and SUSSEX
counties. They declare today that tina

shown how to waste the people's
money, but has raised the assessed val

The Kent countians are particularly

that when the Democrats turned over
their county TO the Union Republicans,

The Sussex county Levy Court, il is
declared, has been helped by the State
in the refunding of it's Adams tax
money. but still the tax rate is to go
up to 40 cents. A 70-cent tax rate dur

farm owner and town real estate hold

ever, escapes with the light capita

carried too far. At times enthusiasm
FOR a favorite team is likely to so be-
cloud the vision OF enthusiasts that the
other aggregation is loaded with epi-
thets which do not appear pretty in

OF course there are those who coolly
sit down and calculate what these
games cost the people, and Il is easy to
figure that many a. quarter is spent for
the game that could be applied to more
advantage in other directions; hut this
criticism may apply to many kinds OF

The Doctor and His Horse.

Every schoolboy who has had to

ably he starts out by saying: The

best friend of man."
The boy is right. for this animal

has an animal that has seen service
Tor many years. and has developed such
an insight into medical ways that he
can do everything short OF diagnosing

New York, Nov. 4.-After a remark
able campaign, in which there were
united against him nearly all the news
papers and practically every minister of
religion in this city, George b. McClel-
Ian, son of the civil war general, is
elected the third mayor OF Greater New
York over Seth Low, fusionst, the pres.
ent mayor, by a plurality OF | ala.
Richard M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Charles V. Fornes president
of the board Of aldermen. The two men
were on the fusion ticket and were en-
dorsed by Tammany whereupon the flu
sionists took their names from the bal
lots and nominated other candidates.
1t was the nomination of Grout and
Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh
Mclaughlin, the veteran leader of the
Kings comfy Democracy, to bolt and de-
clare that he would not support men
who were not Democrats.
In spite of this detection Mcclellan,
Grout and Fornes carried Kings county.
The management of their campaign
was taken over by State Senator Pat
rick McCarren, whom Mclaughlin re-
fused to aid. A surprise was in the
low vote of Devery, former chief of po-
lice, who ran on an independent ticket,
which was given practically no support.

Her father was Salvatore Catanla

MUST MEET CHARGES.
Orders Sent to District Attorney
Grigsby of Alaska.

Washington, Nov. At is learned
that President Roosevelt recently sent
through the department of justice an
order to Melvin Grigsbv, United States
District attorney at Nome, directing
him to come to Washington immedi-
ately.
Charges were filed against Grigsby
nearly year ago by persons in Nome,
that he came to the states in dsobedi-
ence of the direct orders of the attorney
general. Grigsbys friends at first de.
MED that he had received the letter in
which Attorney General Knox refused
his application to come outside for the
winter, but Grigsby afterward admitted
that he had received it.
1t was announced once last winter
that Grgsby would be dism Used for in
subordination, but the North Dakota
senatros prevailed upon the president
to allow him to return to Nome in the
spring.
Special agents were sent to Nome
this season to investigate the affairs of
Grigsby's Office, and they have report
ed against him. The summons for him
to come to Washington at this time is
to give Inn an opportunity to answer
the charges. The attorney general is
known to favor Grigsby's dismissal.

Arthur Glidden. the young man who

REVOLUTION AT |STHMUS.
Ships Sail for Panama and Colon
to Protect American
Interests.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The following
cablegram was received at the state de-
partment last night:
"An uprising took place at Panama
last night. independence was pro-
claimed The Colombian army and
naval officials were made prisoners. A
government was to be inaugurated con-
sisting of three consuls and cabinet.
1t is rumored at Panama that a similar
uprising Was to take place at Colon"
Later statement was made reading
as follows:
GA number of confused and confetti
ing dispatches have been received from
the isthmus, indicating rather serious
dstuy bacnes at both Panama and Co.
Ion. The navy department has dis.
patched several vessels to these ports
with directions to do everything posi-
BILE to keep order along the line of rail-
road
The sensational advices from the
isthmus were not entirely unexpected,
in view of other reports recently re-
ceived. The news caused sudden out
burst OF activity IN the navy depart
ment, and at once on President Roose-
velt's return he was made acquainted
with the situation. Secretary Hay, AS
sistant Secretary Darling and a number
of others were summoned to the White
House and measures were a. once taken
for the protection of American interests
on the isthmus.
Orders have been issued to the Dixie,
which is now on her way from Jamaica,
to proceed at once to Colon, and to the
Boston, which is now at San Juan del
Sur, to 60 to Panama.
Pacific Squadron Ordered.
The Wyoming, Marblehcad and Con.
cord, which compose the Pacific squad
ron under Rear Admiral Glass, are I'M
der orders to remain temporarily at
Acapulco; where they are now, to await
orders to proceed to the isthmus if the
situation becomes worse. The Balti-
more is now on her way to Santo Do
minpo, and will be ordered to proceed
to the isthmus. The Dixie, it is stated,
has 400 marines on board, force that
would come in very handy in the event
it is desired to land force on the 18TH
mus.
When the White House conference
broke up at l l o'clock not much beyond
the official kilograms received and or
ders given would be stated by those
participating In it. There is very
general belief that the rejection of the
Panama canal treaty by Colombia
caused the people OF the isthmus to de-
own, but none of the officials of the ad-
ministraton would authorize any state
ment to the effect that this was the
case.
