HARRIsoN,s VICTORY

GA true copy of letter written and sent to the Secretary of War by Gen. William Henry Harrison after his nu- nterous victories over Tecumseh and other warning Indians in the year 1s1s.)
 Washington City, Oct. 21. 1S13. From Harrison's headquarters at De- troit, Mich.
 Sir:-In my letter from Sandwich of the 3Oth ultimo, did myself the honor to inform you. that I was pre- paring to pursue the enemy the fol- lowing day. From various causes, however, I was unable to put the troops in motion until the morning Of the 2nd inst. and then to take with me only about one hundred and forty of the regular troops, Johnson's Mounted Regiment, and such of Gov - -ernor Shelby's Volunteers as were fit for a rapid march, the whole amount ing to about three thousand-five hun dred men.
 To Gen McArthur (with about TOO effectives) the protecting of this place and the sickx4was committed. Gen. Cass' brigade. and the corps of Lieut. Col. Ball were left, at Sandwich, with orders to follow me as soon as the men received their knapsacks and blankets which had been left on the Island in Lake Erie.
 The unavoidable delay at Sandwich was attended with no disadvantage to us. Gen. Proctor had posted himself a Da1ton's on the right bank of the Thames Cor Trench) fifty-six miles from this place. where I was informed he intended to fortify and wait to re- ceive me- He must have believed, however, that had no disposition to follow him, or that he had secured my continuance he1e, by the reports that were circulated that the Indians would attack and destroy this place npon the advance of the army; as he neglected to commence the breaking up ofTthe bridges until the night of the End inst. On that night our army reached the river, which is 25 miles from Sandwich, and is one of four streams crossing our route, over all of which are bridges and being deep and muddy are unfordable for a con siderable distance into the country the bridge here was found entire and in the morning I proceeded with John sons Regiment to save, if possible, the others. At the second bridge over the branch of the Thames. we werc fortunate enough to capture Lieut.. of Dragoons and eleven privates, who had been sent by Gen. Proctor to des- troy them. From the prisoners learn ed that the third bridge was broken mp and that the enemy had no certain Information of our advance. The bridge having been imperfectly des- troyed. was soon repaired. and the army encamped at Drake's farm, 4 miles below Dalton's.

Mgr. Benson Sets Forth
 A Catholic View of War

MonSignor Robert Hugh Benson, one of the most brilliant or the Catho- lie writers and clergy of Great Brit ain, was born forty-four years ago today, Nov. IS, 1871, the son of Arch bishop Benson of Canterbury, the Pr17 mate of the Anglican church. All of the late Archbishops sons developed into gifted men-Arthur c. Benson at taining wide fame as a biographer, es- sayist and Cambridge professor. White Edward E. Benson won immediate fame with his first novel. tsDodo,'' and followed it with many other widely read and ocular tales. Monsignor Ben son, the youngest of the sons of the archbishop, was educated for the An g1ican church, and served a, curacy at the Eton mission. In 1903 he was re- ceived into the Catholic church, and was ordained a priest in Rome the following year. He has written many religious books, as we'll as numerous articles for review, and is we'll known in America through his lecture tours. Mgr. Benson declares that the Roman Catholics of Great Britain and Ire land are among the most patriotic of Ring Georges subjects in this war. which he has described as ia conflict or truly Christian principles against recrudeScent organism. He added f'At first glance, it appears as if Cath olicisrn should side with Austria, the greatest Apostolic power, in the war against se1ni-civilized Russia, infidel France, and Protestant. England. But 5one's views Shift rapidly when one considers that Austria is a, decaying empire, and as such began the war only at the dictation of ultra-Protes- tant,, ultra-bigoted Prussia, which has sought to destroy Belgium, the most warmly Catholic of our countries
 France, whose people still adhere to the Catholic faith in spite of the apos- tacy of tfe, government; England. where Catholicism has much influ- ence, and Russia, which is Catholic inian except union with Rome, are the real defenders of the faith. And what is called Russia's serni-civilizatio ton lcsms up as almost sublime in com rarison with the crimes committed in the name of Prussian culture. Surely no true follower of Christ can fail to see that the Allies are fighting for truly Christian principles against re- crudescent. organism

TORONTO DETECTIVES HERE

Two detectives arrived in this city to- day from Toronto upon a mission that proved only partially successful. They came here in quest of Mrs. Curtis, whose affidavit they wished to pro cure, and whose person they wished to transport to Toronto. Her presence in that city is urgently wanted in order that she may teszify in a suit for $10,- 900 brought as44nsr a Toronto detec- tive.
 The detectives secured the coAopera- tion of Superintendent Birmingham and Mrs. Curtis was located at her home on Lind1ey street. She was will ing to make an affidavit but she steadfastly refused to go to Toronto, even though her expenses were paid. She said that she has a shuddering distaste of courts, juries and lawyers, and no amount of money would in- ducc her to return to Toronto. There is no law at present that can compel a witness to go to Canada to testify and the detectives abandoned their efforts this afternoon.

NATION-WIDE AID
 WILL BE GIVEN TO DANBURY EATERS
Union Men All Over Country to Contribute to Alleviate
 Suffering.
Especial to The Farmer)


 San Francisco, Nov. 18.-At the ithirty-f1fth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor here yesterday, resolutions were adopted appealing to every union member in the United States to come to the aid of the Danbury matters, whose homes are in jeopardy
 The appeal asks every man to con tribute his earnings for one hour, to theS cause. and the birthday of Sam ue1 Gompers, January 27, has been set aside the day on which the contri- buttons should be made.
 The hRtters were alleged to have violated the sherman law by estab- fishing a boycott. The bank accounts and homes of the matters have been attached in behalf of D. B. Loewe & Go. the firm that brought the suit against the matters. f.-
 Interesting in this connection is the announcement that the department of justice will attempt to get indictments for Robert Fay and other alleged plot ters, under the same sectiSn of the Sherman law that was invoked in the hatters' case. The belief that this law may be used is based on the supreme courts interpretation of the law. The acts of the plotters may be construed as acts in restraint of trade, perform ed by an outside agency.

It is witness's belief that Andrew Car rolls father and Patrick Carroll were related.
 The second witness was Mrs. Ann Mcbride of .437 Pembroke street, who testified that's he has lived in Bridge port for AZ years. lShe was not posi- tive yet she always thought that the Carols of Newtown and this city were related to Andrew.

He asked if it bed, and replied that it was all right, and that he tCarro1I) recognized him. Mrs. Michael Gill was present. He thought Mr. Carroll was perfectly sane.
 Attorney Lynch testified that he was September 28, 1895, and had con- ference with Carroll regarding the told him he had no blood relations that he knew tof, and said that he wanted to remember Lawrence J. Gill handsomely. The details of the will were suggested to him. That ended the hearing.
