' The arrival ot tlic naval b Igade on Monday
wnfl most opportune. U would do you good
to BOO the great-chested , bearded , steadfast
men amid our urmy of bojs. They did line
service yesterday , -when they mounted their
Runs In record tlmo nnd silenced a "Long
Tom" at C o'clock. "Long Tom" was tried
again , but the bluejackets again cllenccd him
In the second round. Wo lost three wounded ,
including , unfortunately , nn otllcer.
"Tho feature of yeflterdnj's fighting was the
great variety of Boer guns disclosed. The
effect ot the eight hours artillery fight was
tcrrlblo , though less deadly than the In
fantry comb-xt. An Incessant boom of guns
and hiss and rattle ot uholls gave a partic
ularly remorseless Impression and empha
sized the helplessness of man before the
deadly machines which ho creates This was
heightened by the cloudless eunshlno.
"Tho escape of one man from destruction
by a bursting shell was very singular. The
shell burst near him , turning one side of
his bayonet Into a complete corkscrew , a
fragment of the shell piercing hlo water
bottle on the other side , the man escaping
unhurt. Some are disposed to criticise our
artillery practice , but It must be remem
bered that the Boers' guus outrange outs. "

"We cannot understand the Boer tactics. U
Is Incomprehensible that they should have

Commenting upon this dispatch , the MornIng -

"It Is easy to guces the reason why the

The Times , In a careful editorial on tbo
relations of the United States to the war In

"When the continent rings with denuncia

sympathy and Intelligent comprehension
manifested In the United States. We should
prize American sympathy in any case , but
It becomes doubly grateful when manifestly
based upon a deliberate and well-informed
judgment of the essential merits of the quar

kindly feelings with which Englishmen re
gard American aims and ontei prises.
"Tho American people are not blinded by
the accident that the Transvaal calls itself
a republic. They know that every essential
attribute of a republic la wanting , and they
know also that England stands for equal

BERLIN , Nov. C. Opinion hero inclines
more and mioro in favor ot a commercial
treaty with the United Stated which will
bo fair for both sides and enable the mer
chants of both nations to make calculations
regarding trade between the two countries
for a number of jears ahead. The grow
ing importance ot the United States 03 a
market for German goods Is generally rcc-
ognl/cd by everybody , except the agrarians ,
and loads to the hope that the long-pend
ingnegotiations will bo brought to a successful
'
cessful Issue.
The reception of the German delegates
at the Philadelphia commercial congress la
greatly appreciated by the prcP3 here. The
newspapers express the hope that the gath
ering will remove many mutual errors.
Andrew D. White , the United States am
bassador , and Consul General Mason as-
ture the correspondent of the Associated
Press that they constantly In their reports
point out the necessity ot coming to bet
ter teixiu commercially with Germany.
Dr. Von Hollebcn , German ambassador

Buclow , minister of foreign affairs ; Baron
Von Thlelmann , the secretary of the Im

Wchner , niUilstcr of the Interior , on these
occasions Insisted on the urgency of Im

Dr. Von Hollcben will soon return to tbo

The recent reciprocity treaty between the
United States nnd France has startled Ger
man merchants. Iho National Zeitung do-
yotcn n long editorial to the subject , which
concludes :
"Tho quarrel between Germany and the
United States about the correct Interpreta
tion of the favored nation clause must bo-
conio more acute unless Germany gets the

A number of other papers nnd pamphlets
point out that the treaty affects many ar
ticles of German export to the United
States and that therefore It Is of great Im
portance.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
learna from official sources that confidential
advices have been received from Wash

will not be seriously resumed until meas

MANILA , Nov. 5. 9 p. m. Thlo evening
a fleet of transports and gunboats left Ma
nila for the most Important expedition ot
the autumn campaign Its destination Is slip-
pencil to bo Uagupan or some other northern
port.
General Whcaton commands with n brigade
consisting of the Thirteenth Infantry , the
Thlrtj-first Infantry , two guns of the Sixth
artillery nnd two Gntllngs. The transports
Sheridan , Francisco do Rejea nnd Aztec
carry the troops , with the gunboat Helena
as escort ,
A dlspitch boat was sent ahead to arrange -
range a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston nnd the other warships
that are patrolling the north coast of Lu
zon.
zon.Tho landing will bo made under cover ot
the guns of the fleet. It la assumed hero
that the purpose ot the expedition Is to
move down the Dagupan-Monlla railroad
toward Tarlac or to prevent Agulnaldo's
forces making another base farther north.
Dagupnn and Apparrl are the strongholds
of the Insurgents In the north and It ! s sup
posed are the points ivhero most of the fili
bustering parties land.
Slnco the beginning of hostilities It
has been the unanimous opinion of military
experts here that Dagupan should bo made a
base of operations , but sufficient troops have
heretofore been lacking. With Generals
Whcaton , MacArthur and Lnwton me vine
upon Tarlnc from three directions nnd the
mountains hemming In the other side the
Insurgent capital will soon become unten
able.
Agulnaldo may attempt to shift his head
quarters to the rich tobacco country nt
the eastern end of the country. Possibly
ho may slldo around General Law ton's front
to the southern provinces ; but as Mac-
Arthur's and L.IW ton's troops arc spread
across Iho country from Angeles to Caban-
atuan , It will bo difficult for the Insurgents
to escape.
Should the concerted operations succeed ,
organized Insurrection , on a largo scale ,
should bo at an end early next spring , al
though guerrilla warfare IB likely to con
tinue for a long time. No one anticipates
that the Insurgents will make many hard
battles. The program is to move the troops
about the country , to maintain transporta
tion nnd hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of a large
American army Is calculated to sap
Agulnaldo's strength by desertions and
through loss ot hope among the sup
porters of the revolutionary movement.

Nov. G. ) The Hawaiian government has sent
by the steamer China a request for certain
other Information regarding the letter and
opinion of Attorney General drlggs respect
ing British claims in connection with the
1835 revolution here.
In referring the matter back to the Ha
waiian government the loiter states that
they are resubmltted for "consideration and
settlement. "
President Dole thinks thU places the mat
ter entirely In the hands of the local gov
ernment to do as It plcahea about It , the
United States holding to Itn fprmer policy of
having absolutely nothing to do with tba
questions. There are others , however , who
think that following annexation they become
matters between Washington and London ,
Marshal Brown's petition for a writ of
mandamus against the collector of general
customs to compel the registration of the
Falls of Clyde will go btfuro the supreme
court , despite the proclamation of President
McKlnley forbidding the further registra
tion of vessels under the Hawaiian flag.
The recent decision of Iho circuit court
gave to the petitioner the right prayed for.
At that moment the presldput'a proclamation
came In. The collector funeral Is now be

hopes of helping more than a few favorite

He explained that a young woman friend
of his wni being maintained on Albjn
Frank's pay roll , and that he was quite
anxious to have her provided for aftrr
Frank's exit from office He , being a mar
ried man , could not take core of her himself ,
but It Mr. Harlght would agree to maintain
the young woman In her position he would
see to It that nothing appeared In the World-
Herald detrimental to his candidacy. Mr.
Barlght Indignantly spurned the offer and
the World-Herald Immediately began to
work up Its fakes , which were later sprung
upon the public.

It Is noteworthy In this connection thai
Albyn Frank himself lo one of the mosl
enthusiastic supporters of Hioadwell , the
democratic candidate , In spite of the fact
that ho has been enjoying the emoluments
of the best office in the stnto for three > ears
at the hands of the republican partj , Frank
openly boasts that If Broadwell Is electee
clerk of the court the name of his chic !
deputy will bo Albyn Frank and that ho
will have no trouble in settling with his
successor In office. On this ground Albvn
Frank Is asking his friends to vote tor the
democratlcTcandldate.
, TtiotlatesTiattack-on Mr. Barlght , na n
part ( of th'ese tacllcs , is In the shape o
* vV - M < B" . ' - - In
tended to make Swedish votere bcllevc that
Mr. Barlght Is prejudiced against people of
their nationality. The circular was orlg-
Inalry gotten out fioveral jenrs ago when
Barlght was before the republican primaries
as a candidate for councilman , when at that
very tlma the stenographej- was employIng -
Ing In bis office was a Swede and Bnrlght'B
friendship for the Swedes has been man
ifested tlmo and again by his active efforts
In behalf of Swedish candidates for office
on the republican ticket. Other fakes of
the same nature may be expected at the last
hours.
Hlillciiloiin Claim * of PII | IIHHH.
The labored attempt of the popocrats ,
through their organ , to make out that the reg-
stratlon returns are not BO badly set against
uem amuses every one , Including those In
lielr own organization. To keep the fuslon-
sts on the political map they seek to cieato
do Impression that every registered voter
who has not expressed himself as a rc-
ubllcan la against the republican ticket ,
von though he has expressed no preference
or any other ticket. To make a showing
bey have laid claims to nil the 4,500 voters
who have not cared to respond to the ques-
lon ns to party affiliation and jot by add-
ng these In with all the democrats , popu-
Ists and silver republicans , they still fall
ver 1,000 short.
An examination oC the registration books
discloses tbo fact that Iho majority ot the
men who have not recorded themselves with
ny party will vote the republican ticket
his year. Nearly all the gold democrats ,
or example , have refused to bay that they
ro democrats of the fusion stripe and have
gone Into the no answer column , The gold
emocraU ; unquestionably number -100 or 500
n Omaha , who are for Reese , the repub-
lean candidate , almost to a man. Yet the
uslonlsts have the audacity to claim their
otes. The same Is true of a great many
luslncss and working men , who , while
oting the republican ticket right along , for
luslncss or other reasons do not euro to
ell the registrars to write them down aa
republicans.
AllcKfil UufeoUoiiH Kail ( o MnU-rlall/e
Still another Interesting disclosure of the
registration books is that thoalleged do-
ectlons from the republican paity , conjured
up In the feivld Imagination of the World-
ierald fakirs , have failed lamentably to ma-
crlallze , The Germans , for example , have
not hesitated to register as republicans in
arger numbers than usual and the books
n the precincts where Germans larcely jc-
eldo show hundreds of German names with
avowed republican affiliations.
The same is true with reference to Holie-
nlans , about whom so much nolso has been
made. More Bohemians are icglstered as
republicans In the First and Second wards
than ever cast votes for republican candi
dates In previous elections. John Roslcky
ilmsclf , who has teen heralded far and wide
by the World-Hrrald and other popocratlo
organs as the great Bohemian leader who
lias left the republican party in disgust ,
lias registered as a republican and so ap
pears on the registration booKs ,
The failure of certain popocratlc lights
to show their colors is also Interesting ,
The great jurist who Is running on the
silver republican ticket q'cms to have been
ashamed to own up to his paity Identity and
has burled himself in the no-party column
Try to ruck nicclloii UonrilH.
As usual the democrats have pursued their
customary tactics ot placing men on the
election boards under false colors , and It
some way have prevailed upon County Judge
Baxter to co-operate with them In their
schc-mo to control the election boollig. Al
through the precincts they huvo had meu
put on the election boards masquerading a
populists , and even as republicans , who ar
hand-ln-glove with the democratic machine
Up In the Sixth ward , for oxaniplo , Pa
Mcstyu , who was before tbu democratic ton
veutlon as a candidate for sheriff , has smug
glcd himself onto Uio election board as
populist , although bo forgot be bad cbanget

DENVER , Nov. 5 , ( Spocnal Telegram. )
The return of the First Colorado from the
Philippines was not so long ago that the
people of Denver have forgotten nil tholr
patriotism. The depot was ciowdcd thl
morning nnd tonight when the uirloua see-
tlons of the train that Is bearing homo the
rifty-first Iowa \oluntccrs arrived In the
city , and It was n warm greeting that was
extended to the bo > s In blue. Many Iowa
people living In Denver were nt the trnln
nnd some of the scenes that made the re
turn of the Colorado bojs famous were reenacted -
enacted even so far as Colorado Is In the
homo of these campaigners.
The first section of the train , In charge
of Adjutant General M , II. Dyers , and con
taining Companies A , D , 11 and F , arrived
nt 8 30 o'clock and the second section ar
rived an hour later. This body of coaches
was in charge of .Major S. P. Moore , nnd It
Included Companies D , Q , I nnd K , constl-
tutlnc the Third battalion.
The third section was delayed until to
night at 10 o'clock by two slight \\roXs that
occurred on the border of California and
Nevada. The first two sections did not wait
for the last to overtake them , for a telegram
was received In Denver by the adjutant gen
eral telling him that the people of Council
Bluffs had prepared a great demonstration ,
for tomorrow and they wanted the boys to
coma on ns rapidly aj possible.
The last section Is In charge of Major
Hume , Companies B , C , L and M , constitut
ing the Second battalion. John C. J.oper , the
colonel of the regiment , was on the first
section.
i dcjiora ) Irving Hale was among th'oso who
greeted the Iowa tioops nt the depot. The
greeting ho received from the boys was
r/vCvr'onulli ' vu. - T < o .MI mlun-
leers gathered In a circle nLout him and-
gave repeated volleys of cheers In-hls honor.
Every man In the regiment declared Gen
eral Halo to be the best genoial In the Eighth
army corps , and he said It warmly , too. It
was a touching scene when the general met
vvlth l3ob Dalley , his orderly , who was shot
In one of the engagements , Dalley waa on
the third section and ho was soon nt the
side of the Denver military ofllrei when ho
heard the latter was at the depot.
Ono or two volunteers rniiPcd their sec
tions and they remained In Denver during
the day , leaving on the last section tonight.
Ono of these was Lieutenant J , Franlt
Frounds of Company G. Ho explained la
the waiting room of the depot that his being
left was half Intentional , and a dozen women
gathered about him to hear the rest of the
story. Ono of them was handsome and she
occupied the seat to the right. Gus Lawsoa
of Compnuy H was anotEor to mlsa his sec-
tloit.
