British casualties, however, show that no victory over the Boers is easy. The losses are placed at 14 killed and seven wounded. Dispatches in dicate that the British are 60 badly out numbered as to make the situation quite critical for them. Kuinor has it, too, that Ger many, France and Russia pro pose to hiterfero to prevent Great Brilian from absorbing Transvaal and the' Orange Free States, in case of complete sub jugation, but it is evidently pre mature and incredible. To bo Utilized Yet. Fory-two years ago a tunnel constructed between the London General Postoflico and Euston station for the pneumatic tran smission of mail; but the pro jected systein proved to be a complete failure. The -tunnel has been examined recently, how ever, and fiund to be in good order The opening is four foot high ty four and a half wide, and it is now proposed to use it for the transportation of mail by lno.ins of a miniature electric railway.

Fronijonr EoKiilar Correspon lent During the dearth of active op erations, the political sharps about town are busily discussing the soating of Congressman-elect Roberts, of Utah. This question seems to lie slated as the first iwnsational feature of the next House of Representatives. As a Congressman-elect, Roberts has already been drawing a salary since hvst March, and there is no doubt that he will be luly seated. Legally, it is difficult to see how ho can then bo unseated, as long as he conforms to the rules, but the "wise people" de clare that ho will be thrown out nock and crop. All of which re mains to be seen. Arctic Explorer Walter Well man is home again, with an un pleasant souvenir of his recent expedition in the shape or a Daa ly crushed log. As soon as he is able Mr. Wellman will resume his newspaper and magazine work. Ho says that a dash by the Franz Josef Land route is the only feasible way of reach ing tlio polo. On his way out Mr. Wellman gained news of five other expeditions going in this year. In regard to Andre, ho thinks that there is no doubt that that gallant adventurer has long since perished in the ice of the far North. The Woman's National Indus trial League, of this city, has taken the initial steps to raise a fund with which to purchase a home in Washington for Ad miral Schley. When informed of the project, Schley, with char acteristic kind-heartedness, ex pressed himself as being deeply touched by the plan, but fears that the subscription at the be ginning of cold weather might deprive worthy people of com forts more important to them than a home to himself. He then left the matter to the judg nifiit, of the committee. The fund has already boon started In this connection, a movement might be in order to start a fund for the purchase of a pipe and a bag of tobacco for another gal laut Admiral, who has been "smoking up" rather regularly in tlio papers. The repairs for the "Blue room" of tho White House were so expensive that no money was left for a new carpet for tht East room, so that it has been decided to use tho old one an- oilier iwo years, unuo oaiuuui TT 1 C s evidently trying to got square ou that little $20,000,000 he had to pay out last Spring. An Ejc to Business! "Yes," said the old man, ad dressing tho young visitor, "I'm proud of my girls ad would like to sec them comfortably mar ried, and as I have made a little money they shall not go to their husbands penniless. There's Vary. 25 years old, and a real good girl. I shall give hor five thousand dollars when sho mar ries. Then comes Bet, who won't see 3.) nirain. I shall give her ten thousand dollars; and the man who takes Eliza, who is 40, will get fifteen thousand with her." The young man rellosted a moment, or so, and inquired "You haven't one about fifty, have you?" Our Church Paper Kinirs and Kings.

TIIE NEWS 01' WASULNCJTUN. The Doings of Our Highest Ofllclals The Transvaal Trouble. From onr Regular Oo.reepundorjt Traffic is picking up this week, thank you, and tho performance includes all the usual . popular features, together with a few new ones. That sterling favor- it, W. McKinley, LL. D., has returned from his tour of the one night stands, and will continue the run, of the old drama, "Wor- rimonts of tho White House, or the Nation's Hired Man." It is even rumored on the "Rialto", that Mr. McKinley bo asked to play a return engagement of this fine old classic. Admiral Schley, too, did a little barn-storming during tho week, making a brief appearance in his native place of Frederick, Md., tho town of Barbera Preitchic and Stonewall Jackson famo. Tho gallant Ad miral showed to a large business at the Frederick county fair, and effectually divided the public in terest with abnormal animals and prize pumpkins. But tho star feature of the whole continuous performance was the roturn, as tho late la mented A. Ward would have put it, of our "Gay Saler Boy", Ad miral Georgo Dewey, on whom Washington claims tho copy right. Tho Admiral is fooling too "poorly" to take any more jaunts lust at nreseut, and, as his holiday is over, will stay at homo and tt ond to some of the duties for which tho American people pay him. And little do they "begrudge" him, by the way. His future work will bt largely in connection with the Phillippine commission. In re gard to the Dewey home, tin committer in charge, after much travail, finally selected house 1747 Rhode I.d uul Avenue, Northwest, known as the Fitch mansion. It is a very satisfac tory choice, and, for a wondor, the amount of the available fund :overod the cost complete. On Thursday evening Dewey attended tho performance at the Columbia Theatre, and made his first appearance on any stage when ho wont behind tho scenes at the invitation of comedian Francis Wilson, and met the members of tho company ren dering an operatic version on the half -shell of "Cyrano de Ber gerac." Cousin George told Mr. Wil son that ho envied tho latter in his ability to mako a speech, whereupon tho funny man hu morously offered lo write tlio na val hero a book of speoches adapted to all possiblo occasions. n view of the misfortunes of other famous mariners, who have recently tooted their mega phones too melodiously, it is dif ficult to see why Dewey should wish to shako his present secur- ty by mastering the art of mak- jng speoches. i' amo may te a bubble, but it is not tho hardest blower that attains it. THE TKANSVA AIj THOl'ItLE. It is well known that tho Pres ident has received a corpulent bunch of petitions concerning tho ponding unpleasantness in tho Transvaal. They have come in piuk and yellow papers, from pink and yellow petticoats,, from socioties for the promotion of piety among pugilists, and from rafts of other self-advertising idiots. They have "petitioned' the. President to stand by Eng land, to protect tho Boers, to send Joe Wheeler against tin whole outfiit, and to lend his countenanco to the proceedings in almost every conceivable way short of wearing a monocle. But tho President has not replied. Tho President has been too busy "trekkhg"' thre gh the "veldt of tho Northwe.si. whero he hopes his "spoor" will keej fresh until tho next national elec tion. However, the State -Department came out with nn official edict othe offoct that our policy during the war will bo distinctly "hands off", an announcement that all sensible folk had already anticipated. Great Brilian has not yot made a formal request that this country take charge of tho intorests of her citizens in Boer territory during tho war. Still, Mr. Towor, tho British charge d'affaires, has dono con- hV . ' nn nnil,.r.BlnnJin to that effect botween the coun tries. Our consuls will also have something to do in looking after our own interests. There are fully 1,000 American citizens in tho Transvaal and Orange Free State, and these are, as a rule, men of largo affairs, represent ing American manufacturing and exporting concerns, besides in vestments in the gold and dia mond fields. Bon. Algernon Sartoris, "lato" Capt. U S V I., aud A D C, tho British grandson of General Grant, has "writ to tho papors" several times this week, taking up the argumentative cudgels in behalf of dear, old England. Washington socfety girlies say that Alsrv's contributions are equal to anything that Joo Cham berlain ever dreamed of doing. They are really too cute for any thing. . WADDELL ON THE SENATORSHIF. Will Ho a Cutididnte Under Certain Con ditions. Col. A M Waddell writes the Raleigh News aud Observer as follows: Wilmington, Oct. 17. To the editor: As one of the persons whose names have boon published in connection with the United States senatorship, (although without authority as far as I am concerned) I desire to say to the public what I have said to in dividuals who have spoken to me on the subject, viz: 1. That if tho next democratic state convention, in accordance with the resolution of tho last ono in favor of tho elec tion of te.iators by the people, shall order party pri manes to ascertain ino wui oi U-e democrats in tho state, I ex peel to be a candidato; hut if the machine method of securing members of the legislature pledged in advance is to bo pur sued, I will not bo a candidate. 2. That the primaries ought to be hold, and the Senatorial can vass couductod after the August election, and not before. 3. That, I am not making any canvass, and will not do so until I know whether there are to be primaries or not. 4 That I will cheerfully unite with all other aspirants in a plodgo not to solicit, directly, any vote until after tho August election. 5. That, in my opinion, no man worthy to bo a senator would hold that office contrary to the will of a majority of his own party. If there is any more candid or plainer way to state my position on the matter than this, I do not know it. Alfred Moore Waddell. Wilson (Joldston Marriage.

The Corretl-Miller Wedding. Mr. A B Correll and wife arrived here this morning from Columbia, S. C, to spond a few days with his relatives. They were married yesterday aftor- noon at 4 o'clock. Tho Columbia State of this morning has the following account of the mar riage, which was a homo affair: "The bridal party wasushorod into the tastefully decorated parlors to tho strains of Men delssohn. Tho bridesmaid, Miss Flora Wiloy, of this city, was followed by the dainty little flower girls, Misses Marguerite Earle and Marion Dudley.

Daily of Oct. 26th. Loyal to Ills Friend. Editor Standard: I did not see your editorial of last Tues day on Judge Robinson until last night. If I had seen il when issued, I would have asked you to publish this yosler day. In your editorial you say that Judgo Robinson "made himself absolutely offensive" to the "bar" hero. He has never been offensive to mo in the performance of any of his duties as judgo. Aud, with tho utmost respect for you in this matter, I cannot concur m some oilier things that you say of him. I write this simply and solely as a duty to my personal friend. Judgo Robinson and I, in politics, are far apart and wo differ other wiso. But he would expect this publication of me and I try not to disappoint my friends in any proper expectation. I know that, under similar circumstances, Judge Robinson would do the same for me. I would expect it of him. And I am trying to live up to this teaching: "All things whatsoovor ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Respectfully, Paul B. Mhans. Oct. 26, 1899.
