Nevsrtlieless, there ia a growing im pressioa that the Hop.

Joseph Chamberlain is a trifle too fluent to ba truly gteat Mr, Bryan is willing that the democrats in the house shall choose their own leader. This gentleman's generosity is us great as his discretion. In congress, Beed no longer rules, but the Eeed rules rule as of yore. That is to say, a quorum continue to be L. quorum whether it wants to be or not.

According to reports from South Africa, Gen. Joubert, the Boer commander, lias been killed again. This makes three times in three consecutive weess. The report of Posmaster-General Smith as an entirety proves that our vast and growing postal system is in an unusually sound and vigorous con dition.

Eob erts, the Mormon representative-elect rom Utah. Previously the house had rejected a substitute resolution offered "by Mr.

Richardson, the leader of tho minority, to allow Mr. Hoberts to be sworn in and to eonfl the wholo case to I the judiciary committee. substitute resolution, however, by no means commanded tho full democraticstrecgth. Only fifty-seven republicans voted for it. the thirty who then voted against the Taj lor resolution all were democrats excppl two.

By the terms of the resolution Mr. Koberts is not only excluded from all participation in the proceedings of the house until the committee reports and the house passes upon his case, but he is denied a seat iu the hall. Whether this will bo irr tcrpretod to deny him admission within the chamber pending the disposition of his case is yet to be decided. The readii of the procident'e messaRo vas completely oveishadowed by the debate and proceedings which resulted in this action by the house. The most re markable feature of the debate was the fact that Mr.

lioberts, in his pros ontation of his own part of the case, which lasted almost an hour, became so absoibed tliit he won tho sympathy of those in the galleries and was several times sboweied i npplause. It wus evident that he realized that the house was overwhelmingly against him, and at times he spoke fiercely oud defiantly. France is indulging in a great deal of talk about fighting England, but the that hostilities will not pass beyond the verbal stage. The war clouds now on exhibition in Paris are doubtless mere imitations. It is understood that in making their plans for next year's campaign the free silver "republicans" have decided to boom 16 to 1 in the west and "anti- imperialisEn" in the east.

The idea is that Mr. Bryan shall be all things to all men. TUESDAY'S SENATE SESSION. WASHINGTON Dec. session of the senate lasted two hours and forty minutes and practically all taken up by the president's message.

MILLER NOT CAPTURED. No congress of recent years lias been confronted with so many complicated problems of vital concern to the immeui ate future of the country, in its foreign as well, as domestic affairs, as confront the fifty sixtb congress. The message of the president, in view of this, is of exceptional importance and interest, and should be carefully read by every man who aims to follow the proceedings of the session intelligently. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.

Captain McClusky, of tie detective bureiu, said today that he heard nothing officially of the reported capture in Montreal of "William F. Miller of the Frantlin syndicate. A detective agency in this city received a despatch today from one of its lorce, who is now in Montrei), saying that Miller had not yet been captured or even located. The despatch added that the detectives were on Miller's trail and expected to bring about his arrest ithin a very short time. Make No Mistake In buying Condensed Miifc.

Gen. David B. Henderson, who sue ceeda Thomas B. Beed as speaker of the house of representatives, can confident ly be expected to meet the best expectations. His long and varied experience in congress, his conceded capacity, his sound judgment, his popularity and his public spirited ambition to do the best he can for his country and, his party, combine to render the choice an admirable one.

He will wield the gavel fairly, with the single aim of advancing the business of wholesome law making. iThe minority will have no reason to find fault with him, since he will respect its rights, while pursuing a policy which will convince all concerned that he appreciates the essential SEVERE FIGHTING AT VIGAN.

All the wells are very low ami bare lean so since spring.

A lu tho wmtor, au is now peclo't, causes no end of trouble to farmers, and oHeu stock has to driven miles to be watered when farm wells give out, making it too often necessary to cat holes in the of some friendly spring that is always reliable. The first load of Christmas trees that have reached this city this year arrived here on Tuesday afternoon for a local dealer. The trees came here by freight from down in Maine. The trees were for the retail trade and the most of them are already engaged by tho dealer's regular customers, as he told tho The man has heaps of evergreen und holly that he is workiug irjto wieaths and Christaias he states that the sale of these decorations is increasing every year. "Skates, thia year, are somewhat higher in price than for several years," said a hardware dealer to the Herald on Tuesday.

"Cheaper grades are selling at from CO to 73 coats where, last season, the came grade went at a hull dollar. On the higher grade varieties the change in the price has not been so great, oral in the wooden top pattein, the ones thdt delight the eyes of every afcater, ttc change is, in many cases, of no account whatever. It was the a in the pries of the material for the article that advanced the price ol the manufactured thing." It has been suggested, now that football time is over aud that interest will toon be centered skating parties acd ice polo, that a couple of polo teams organized here this winter.

In Uie annual repott of Postmautei General Smith is a matter whieh is of special local interest. It is a recom mendution, similar to the one which he urged last 3 ear, that a change ba made in the law reguliting hotus of labor of letter carriers, so that time lost on days when mails are light vonld bo saved. This could bo done by a modification of the eight hour law, which shall provide for six clays'work oJ hours, with as many additional hours on Sun day, not exceeding eight, as tho exigencies of the service demand. There is considerable probability of a raise in the pay of tbe freight handlers on the Boston and Maine railroad. A short time ago the pay of the trainmen was raised and the rumor gains strength that there is to be a raise in the pay of the handlers of freight iu and about all depot and wharves on the Boston and Maine system, although nothing definite has been given out to that effect from headquarters.
