enemy to advance. Our suspense

enemy to advance. Our suspense
was great, and situation not an
enviable one by any means. A
little Smelling was going on on
both sides but nothing serious &C.
Cured, On Tuesday night, Dec.
LIST, the enemy began to retreat, un-
known however to US until about
8 o'clock on the next morning,
when our division, with Early's
also, was marched, quick time, in
pursuit. Ramseur's brigade was
in the van and picked up several
hundred stragglers, broken down,
&C., as we advanced towards Ger
mana ford, where the yankees had
barely crossed ere we arrived in
sight Oh the south side. In their
retreat they destroyed all the
property belonging to the Citizens
along the route. I counted the
smoking ruins Of five different
farm houses of which had
been costly buildings. For -
miles scarce a rail, barn, or other
Courthouse, was left. ALI, or near
ly the stock and poultry in
the whole county had been killed
to feed the horde, and, and yet
the prisoners said for lack of
rations they retreated about true
I guess, since n of the prisoners
offered a silver watch for a dozen
of crackers, which unfortunately,
could not be raised among the
rebels either. People at home can
form no idea of the straits to
which we are sometimes 1educed.
When within sight of the river
further pursuit was deemed mex
pedient, and the whole column
was turned homewards. So many
glad fellows I never saw before.
A bloodless victory! On Thurs
morning last we arrived in the
same old shanties we had left,
and above the confusion in camp
cheerily rang the song,
$50, let the wide werld wag as it will,
I'll be gay and happy still,
Gay and happy, gay and happy,
I'll be gay and happy still"

Washington, Special. - Proposals
opened bv the canal commission Tor
the entire construction Of the Pana-

pected by experts on construction
work. For some time 1t has been
known that several members of the
commission believed 7 per centum
upon the estimated cost of the con-
struction would be a fair remunera-
ton for a contract, or under the
form Of contract prepared by the
commission.
The lowest proposal, that of Will
liam J. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tennes-
see. and Anson NJ. Bangs, Of New
York city, who offered to do the
work for G.15 per centum of the es-
timated cost, falls even lower than
had been hoped for.
Granting that the estimate OF
$40. 900 for the construction OF
the canal. which had been frequent

the remuneration Of the Ollver-Bangs
combination would be $9,450.000 II

William J. Oliver and Arson NJ

SEEING BALLOT BOXES.
Second Step in Action to Gust New
YorkS Mayor

NEW YORK, January S.-Following his
action of yesterday in serving upon Mayor
Mcclellan papers in a suit to GUST the
mayor from office, Attorney General Jack
son today began steps to obtain possession
of the boxes containing the ballots cast in
the municipal election in November, 1905
Armed with court orders signed late last
night by Supreme Court Justice Hendricks,
representatives Of the attorney generals
office today visited the various places where
the ballot boxes are stored and demanded
that they be permitted to affix new labels
to each Individual box
The first place visited by the attorney
generals men was the Staten Island Saw
ings Bank, a Stapleton, S L. where the
Staten Island ballots are stored The call
was made long before daylight and the men
were refused admission to the building by
the Waterman. From the bank the men
went to the home of President Herman
Hagadorn, three miles away routed him
out of bed, served the court order upon
him and directed him to comply at once
with the order and open the bank vaults
Hagadorn protested on the ground that
there was no certainty that the court order
was authentic. After conference how
ever, it was decided to send for Robert
Ross, chief clerk of the election bureau Of
the borough of Richmond. Ross was
obliged to walk several miles from his home
to the bank, and in his presence the vault
was opened and the new labels were at
fixed.
The representatives of the attorney gen.
eral most of whom were said to have been
Hearst inspectors of election in the ma yor-
atty campaign, went to the different stor-
age places at o clock, or shortly after
that hour. Deputy Attorney General w A
Deford went personally to the storage piac
at SD street and 18th avenue where the
ballot boxes were stored. Other men went
to The Eagle storage rooms in BROOKLYN

ENGLAND rs FOR PEACE.
Will Propose international Agree
ment, Says William T. Stead.

PARIS, January S.-William T. Stead,
who arrived here yesterday, says in an In
terview that he is on his way around
the world in the interest of peace. He
further declares that he is authorized by
the British premier. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, to say that Great Britain, If
no other country does so, would at the APP
preaching peace conference at The Hague
raise the question Of taking steps to pro-
vide for the maintenance of international
peace This, Mr.. Stead says, will be done
in the form of two propositions, as fol-
lows:
First. That each country participating in
the conference appropriate a sum of money
to be used in the propaganda of the idea of
maintaining international peace
Second. That each country participating
in the conference render obligatory the OBJ
servance of article VIII of the act of the
peace conference of 1899 permitting a third
power to tender mediation, without giving
offense, between two disputing powers. and
also that the participating powers extend
the scope of article VIII SO as to bind the
signatories. in case of a declaration of war
not to begin hostilties for a fortnight in
which interim friendly powers would have
the right to intervene in an attempt to ad-
lust the quarrel

CHIEF BELT GETS NO AUTO.
Controller Tracewell Decides Against
the Proposed Purchase.


the Proposed Purchase.
1t is unlikely that Chief William Belt of
the fire department will be permitted to
answer fire alarms in an automobile in
stead Of the runabout he now uses-for
some time, at least. About a week ago the
chief asked permission to discard his fleet
footed horse and runabout for a red devil"
and when Controller Tracewell of the
Treasury Department was asked II the ma
chine could be purchased with money from
the appropriation for repairs to~apparatus
and for new apparatus and new appliances
In the fire department" he said no. Mr..
Tracewell in his decision, which was for
warded to the Commissioners today, said
that this appropriation mentioned is not
properly available for the purchase Of an
electric or steam vehicle for the chiefs use.
In his request to the Commissioners for
the auto Chief Belt said there is being more
and more demonstrated the necessity for
such vehicle with the increased territory
to be covered by the fire department and
the utter impossibility of his being able to
properly cover the ground with the use of
q horse as at present. He also said that
for several years the fire departments or
other large cities have realized the neces-
sity for and have provided automobiles for
the use Of their chiefs and experience has
shown their value.
The Commissioners have not announced
what they will do in view Of the controllers
decision, but that further steps to secure
the chief his auto will be taken Is said to
be certainty.
