DRYDEN BEFORE THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE

the dispatch correctly states the decision the sua-
ton is simply this:
That shall be put TO some delay and shall be
seriously lmpeded for the time being in opening te
ballot boxes and proving by their contents that the
frauds in the count shown on the opening OF lEe
first four boxes were general throughout the city
In other words shall be. compelled to resort 10
the more roundabout methods Of opening boxes
upon afidavits and through quo waTranto proceed
ings Mcclellan viii thus have won his fight Tor
facts forever. These ballot boxes can be opened IN
quo warranto proceedings and nothing can prevent
fine truth being ultimately known except the phy-
steal destruction Of the boxes and their contents
The quo warranto procedure, to which the
Hearst men win probably have to resort, is
tedious and roundabout way of getting at the
contents of the ballot boxes. One OF Mr..
Hearst's counsel said last night:
The decision means that Mcclellan viii get ms
certificate election and be sworn in on the ufSl
of the year. il means that we Will have 10 make
specific affidavits concerning the contents or every
ba Hot box which we may want 10 open. II propaplS
dos moi mean that we snail be prevented from
examining the contents of boxes where palpable
the law seems to be pial! on
that point Probably shall have the privilege
under the decision of opening several huildred
and when we get thar far we shall be able to get
the necessary evidence 10 warrant quo warrahto
proceedings.

PREMIER TRUSTS ARMY.
Traditions Too Deeply Rooted, He
iSays. to Permit Revolution.

London. Dec 1.-THE correspondent OF 'Ths
Daily Telegraph" at ST Petersburg, In fur
Their tnstalment Of his interview with Count
Witte the first part of which published on
Tuesday, says the Premier declared that the
army would remain faithful, that the finances
of the country were sound and that 1t was not
his intention to resign. The correspondent. in y
series OF questions, presented numerous IN
stances Of the dfsloyalty of the troops and ma
rines.
The Premier, answering these questions, in-
sisted that in all cases the disloyaIty pointed
out was either temporary exceptional. and
that it had never developed into actual inhdei-
ity to the Emperor. It could not be denied, he
said that the revolutionary propaganda was be-
ing indUstriously and assiduously spread in the
army and in the navy, but it was not and could
not be successful. because the national charac-
ter was fixed and the national traditions vera
too deep rooted. AS far he knew, the de-
nands of the rnalcontents were altogether Of an
economical character The troops were accus-
toned to obey the Emperor implicitly, and the
Premier was unable to conceive any transfer OF
that allegiance
The correspondent suggested the possibility az
a sudden stroke by which the republicans would
seize the reins of government. to which Count
Wttte replied that the members Of such party
would be ruthlessIy cut down by the imperial
troops. The idea of such republican govern
ment subsisting for even three days. the Premiei.
said, could only be entertained by foreigners
who never had an opportunity to study the Rus
sian national character or by thoughtless RUS
slams who were incapable of interpreting Eat
character. The count added:
Russian national life is pivoted on loyalty 10

and fruitful is this principle Will be seen if the
revolutionists should be foolhardy enough to
build upon contrary assumption
Referring to Russia's financial position. Count
WItte attributed all the rumors Of financial din
cuties to the Vaccinations OF the revolutionists
who he said, fought with poisoned weapons
Their statements were accepted because the peo-
pie were credulous. The Premier said:
am absolutely sure that Russian bondholders
haze nothing more to fear to-day than they had
six years ago. Certainly they have no reason 10
fear that the interest on the bonds viii be cur

there is much speculation to the origin of a
paralysis which attacked Midshipman Henry G.
Cooper of Oxford n. c., shortly after o'clock
this afternoon. While Cooper was i'll a class
room he was seized by an almost complete
paralysis of the right side, extending from head
to foot and partially affecting his vocal organs
as his condition warranted he closely
examined to anything he knew which might
have caused his condition.
He stoutly denied that he had been hazed
recently. but unable to give any other
PLANTATION to account for the attack 1t
found that his digestion in bad condition
but this not likely To induce paralysis, it
said
While the authorities accept his statement, it
Is extremely hard, they say to assign any likely
cause for such condition in youth of seven
teen years except some external injury strain
1t is perfectly well known that nidshipmen
will go to any. length except perjury to protect
other midshipmen, and refused to give any tnfor

shipmen would have expected Of Cooper any
other in his situation.
Young Cooper is much better to- night, and his
complete recovery is confidently expected.

1t is expected that when the open
season on deer commences in Kenne-
bee county. Nov. /, there will be many
hunters looking for them in the vicinity
of Augusta and the surrounding towns,
and as the animals are reported to be
quite plenty in some localities to the
eastward of the city. it is probable
that some of them will be killed. The
hunters should bear in mind, however.
that while in accordance with the pro-
visions of chapter 3S4 of the private
and special laws of 1905, deer may be
killed in Kennebec. York. Cumberland,
Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Waldo
counties during the month of Novem-
her. only one deer can be killed IN
either of these counties during the
omen season Of each year. 1t should
also be remembered that these pro-
visions do not apply to the towns OF
York. Kittery, Eliot and Wells in York
county. or to Bath. West Bath ano
Phippsburg. in Sagadahoc county II
