A flurry was created in political circles to-day by the claims of the Democratic stale committee that Patrick. Dera.", had been elected lieutenant governor over Caldwell, Rep. The rev turns showed that Caldwell -had been cut heavily as the result of the fight made against him by the Anti-saloon League, but the Republican committee had not given the matter any serious consideration. To-day, however, county chairmen were asked for the vote on lieutenant governor. To-night returns had been received from seventy counties, which gave Caldwell a plurality of 8.278. The remaining eighteen counties gave Nastva plurality of 12,160, and as they are all atrongly Republican, Chairman Dick claims the election of . Caldwell with the greatest confidence. It Is claimed Caldwell's plurality over Patrick will not be less than 5,000. Revised figures on the head of the ticket show that Nash's plurality is 30,712. No figures have oeen made on the total vote In the State by either committee, and the result will not be known until the offi cial count 1st made by the secretary of state. The Jones vote, according to estimates given out at both Republican and Demo cratic headquarters, will be 100,000.

CUBA'S CHIEF DRAWBACK

GEX. LVDLOW SAYS SO PER CENT. OF THE PEOPLE ARC ILLITERATE. Little Hope for Much Improvement in the Condition of the Island I'ntil the .Native Become Educated. NEW Y'ORK, Nov. 9. Gen. William Ludlow, military governor of Havana, reached his homo In Flushing to-day. To a reporter General Ludlow talked at length on the condition of affairs in Cuba. He considered the greatest drawback to the Improvement of the people their great illiteracy. Among other things he said: "The condition of the people is something awful in that respect. Eighty per cent, of them are illiterate. The Spanish for three hundred years had an elaborate system of schools and academies. The theory of these was splendid, and had they done the work they were supposed to do things would have been different. Very little progress has been made by us yet, for we have been too busy with more Important matters to give much attention to education. Still, we have made a beginning and in Havana there is now something of an approach to schools. What we need most is a system of industrial schools in which youths of the city and country can be taught trades and occupations. The education of the children is another matter, as it must be started from Infano . but the boys now growing up must be taught something useful that they may earn their living. It is too late to start them on a thorough course of education. They would be too old to be of any good by the time they had attained a common education. Therefore they must be taught something that will enable them to live, and then the children must be taught systematically. It will take a long time to educate tho people of Cuba up to the standard of our people. "The condition of Cuba to-day is bad, but It is better than when we took hold. When Cuba passed Into our care the sugar plantations had been idle for years, the plants were destroyed, the people sick and starved. The rich residents of the island were, and still are, poor. They have wealth, but it's all tied up in the land, which for years was rendered valueless because of the disturbed condition of the countrj'. They have not been able to go ahead and start again. The tobacco industry is looking up, but the prosecution of that does not require large amounts of money. us does the sugar in dustry. " hat Cuba needs now is capital, and the world' money will not be invested in Cuba until the world is certain that it will be pro tected by the Lnited States. That assur ance the world has been slow to believe. What is feared is a shotgun republic. The capitalists fear that money invested in Cuba will be as uncertainly guarded as that invested in South American republics; where revolutions occur so often. The world's money fears that when the United States leaves Cuba the government established there will bo overthrown and that revolutions will occur. This will not be the case. The United States will wait until a government is firmly established in the islands. "Thls'is not to be -accomDlished In a dav. but it will be accomplished, and Cuba, when her own government is established, will have a permanent one. The intelligent peo ple or Cuba are taking a great interest in our government and our ways, and are trying to fit themselves to take up the burden of government. Like the educational matter, it will be a long time before the Cubans are entirely fitted for self-govern ment, but they are doing their best and are making good progress. "The belief that there Is a large lawless set in Cuba Is an error. I never heard of a negro being burned at the stake In Cuba, nor have I heard of any lynchlcg bees. Cuba is not so bad. The bulk of the people are law-abiding and industrious. Once let Cuba become prosperous, and the people,, who have undergone so much In the past, will become contented and the old restless ness will pass. The Spanish residents are a good class. Many Spaniards are coming into the island. They are the class that will benefit the island, for they are the labor class. With the old causes of bitter ness between the Cubans and the Spaniards, the political causes, wiped out, nv be no trouble between the races. The Span lard who works and adds to the weaitn or Cuba is a gain. It was the other class of Spaniards that ruined the island and caused the bitterness. "There have been some who clamored for an immediate government of their own, but the more intelligent of these have long since realized that our conception of the task that we took up was more ntting man theirs was, and these people are the ones whn now want us to remain until the time comes when there will be no danger of Cuba's being able to stand alone. "The work of organizing a government is going on as rapidly as may be. It will not be long before the whole Island Is covered. and in every portion tne t'uoans win De re ceivine lessons In a practical way.' In Ha vana, of course, the government is now well established and working most smoothly. It has been our policy to withdraw whenever possible, the military control, but not the supervision and am. as to Havana s condition, there Is a misconception of It. The city has never been as badly off as some other cities on the Island. To-day it is in as good condition as can be. but not so good as it will be Jn the future." HARD MOMTY FOR CII1A. Scheme to Mint Sliver and Copper Coins Price of Meat High. HAVANA, Nov. 9. Fernando Capote, mayor of Cardenas, has submitted to Gov ernor General Brooke a scheme to coin Cu ban silver and copper Into currency stamped with the heads of the initiators of the revo lution. The local papers are again exercised about the price of meat. Last month they say 35,000 head of cattle were Imported, but there is no reduction In prices. Many of the poor, they point out, cannot buy meat at all owing to the high figures, as a good deal of the meat Is sold at 40 cents a pound. whereas all kinds could be sold at 15 cents a pound. Mayor Lacoste says the trouble Is due to the fact that as soon as the heavy tax Imposed by the Spanish government on beef was removed the Importers made a ring, raising the price of live stock and thus actually raising the price of beef. In his opinion, unless the municipality is prepared to supply the butchers with beef, there is no possible remedy. The complaint of high prices I general throughout the greater part of the island. A large cattle Importer asserts that thejiverage Ltice of live stjcK In Havana U about $lu per 100 pounds, and that the price of cattle has r.sen in Mexico. Colombia and other cvan:r.'es from whlci cattle are Imported. This dealer does not consider the retail rr'cc too high. The municipality f-t Cardenas intends to make its police more of a military body. and is accepting applicants who will sign a two-year contract. There is a revival of the report that the bishop of Havana, Monslgror Manuel Santander y lrutos, has tendered his resignation to the Pore, but he e'.ecln.fcs to coniirm or deny. KRUGER'S NEPHEW WEDS. Itun Off to Canada to Avoid Pnbliclty of the Chicago Press. DETROIT, Nov. 9. George A. Ktuger, of Chicago, a nephew of President Kruger, of the Transvaal Republic, and Miss Bertha Buck, of Chicago, were married at Sand wich, Ont., to-day.

He ventures ttie opinion that Britain would find the Boers one of the hardest propositions she had ever tackled. Firemen Must Protect Themselves. ST. PAUL. Minn., Nov. 9.

Wheaton on Llngayen gulf, in pursuit of the plan to surround Agulnaldo's forces: "Tuesday afternoon Knox, with the Princeton, Bennington, Helena, Manila. Callao and Samar, bombarded intrenched beach at San Fabian. Llngayen. Landed Wheaton's command. Moale was In charge of the boats, McNamee, Reynolds- and Nelson aspistlng. Snow, commanding the Baltimore section, was beach master, disembarking and landing under rifle lire admirably. No casualties. Samar struck several times. The Callao, Tippan, and Samar, Mustln, etpeclally commended." The last sentence Is supposed to state the names of the men specially commended and the boats to which they are attached. 4. AGL'EVALDO LOCATED. The Rebel Lender Han Removed Ills Capital' to lloamhang. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. The Wrar De partment definitely located Agulnaldo todaj' as on his way to the town of Boambang, about seventy-five miles northeast of Tarlac. The recent calculations have been that the insurgent leader was at the town of Bayambang, not far from Tarlac, In which case the several forces under Generals MacArthur, Lawton, Young and Wheaton would have had him practically surrounded. There has been some doubt, however, as to the name Bayambang, and to-day this was cleared up by definite information fixing Boambang Instead of Bayambang as the place of Agulnaldo's refuge. A dispatch from General Otis mentioned Boambang, and at the same time reliable Information came through diplomatic chan nels that Lieutenant Gllmore and the other American prisoners were at Boambang, in tho mountains, far to the northeast of Tarlac. It Is expected that "the Insurgent capital now will be shifted to Boambang, and the efforts of the American military forces will be directed towards that point. It is in the mountainous country in tho north and apparently out of the fertile and populous regions where Agulnaldo thus far has conducted his operations. It Is said to be accessible from the south by only one route, along a river which is a branch of the Rio Grande. This leaves the rebel leader little or no, opportunity of communicating with the coast or getting In supplies. He has also left the railroad behind. It Is said at the War Department that the columns of General Young and General Wheaton will push on to the north, following up the Insurgent leader and his scattered bands. To De Interretl In Arlington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Arrangements have been made at the War Department fcr the Interment at Arlington Cemetery, with military honors, of the remains of Captain BogardU9 Eldridge, Fourteenth Infantry, First Lieutenant M.

By direction of Secretary Root the report will not be made public. CORX IS KING. Interesting? Facts Concerning the Great American Staple. John L Wright, in Leslie's Weekly. The word maize Is derived from the Greek word zea. It is not definitely known where the plant had its origin. Humboldt asserts that it is American. Other writers claim that it originated In Asia, whence it was brought into America by the Spanish explorers. There Is nothing so far discovered lh the records of ruins of Kgypt to Indicate that the early dwellers along the Nile ever knew of the grain. In an ancient Chinese book, however, to be found In the French library at Paris, corn is mentioned. In Chile corn has long been grown, and it. is called zea curaqua. There Is an old Javanese legendary poem, "Manck Maya," which likens the grain of corn to a maiden's tooth, and to-day. In certain parts of the middle West, there is a variety known as "horse tooth." Most of the South American Indians know of corn. Some make a iort of beer from IU A Quicha legend says that Con, son of the Sun and Moon, gave maize to man. The Iroquois say that corn was given by the Spirit of the South. One of the snake legends of the Moqul Indians tells of six bachelors. Red Corn. Blue Corn, Yellow Corn, Green Corn, Spotted Corn and Black Corn. It is not alone with the Indians that myth and legend endure To-day farmers of New Kngland. and. in fact, in the newer West, have their manifold "signs" for the planting of corn. Go through the agricultural regions and you will hear them talk of planting "in the full of the moon," and the like. Among the German settlers, in certain localities, it is believed that in selecting seedcorn for the next year's crop all the stalks and refuse must be taken into the highways and instantly destroyed, but not by burning, as that would insure the presence of the black fungi, or "smut," as it is provlnclally termed. Corn is the great staple of the United States. It is the most important product of the American continent, be it grains or the output of mines or factories. More acres are devoted to the raising of corn than in the annual yield of oats, wheat, barley, rye. buckwheat and cotton combined. Corn provides more employment for laborers, provides more work for distributers and makes basis for more industries and activities than any other American commodity. In the past thlrty-teven years the value of the corn output has been ilj.CKKOOO.OeO. List year (lst'S) a corn farm of 6.000 acres in Iowa yielded a net profit of fifl.OuO. About 3Xo acres of corn were actually planted. Thirty-one planters were used to put the seed In the ground, seventy-six cultivators did the "tending" and seventy-five wagons hauled the crop from field to cribs. To hold the corn cribs twelve feet wide, sixteen feet high and half a mile long were required. In planting last year Iowa averaged ahead of her sister States in earlinos, nearly all the corn area of the State being planted successfully by the middle of May. Last "year (lbS) Iowa produced 2."dWXMj bushels. The corn yield of the United States for 1SW is estimated at 2.o.V.7:.Mx bushels, the number of acres planted being &1.5oO,wO. Corn is king. Voting: Place In Germany. Municipal Affairs. The practice" In Prussian cities regarding the selection ot voting places Is in direct contradiction to American usage. Instead of cloying all places where intoxicants are sold on election day, it Is precisely the best known and most popular beer lokals that are chosen for the purpose of holding- elections. Tho halls which are commonly maintained in such places to be used for all sorts of social gatherings are seldom occupied during the day. and. as they are well known in the neighborhood, they form ideal places for holding an election. Liquors are not sold in the room in which the voting takes

place, but may be freely drunk there. Indeed, It Is a very exceptional -lction Judce who does not have a capacious krug on the table before him. from which he occasionally quenches his thirst while the tedious process of balloting is going on. A very considerable economy is effected by holding elections in such places, as rent Is either hut charged at all or else fixed at a nominal sum by the proprietor, who expects to be reimbursed through the purchases cf those who visit the polls. Any unu.ual amount of drunkenness on election days, or nt least during city elections, which are seldom attended by excitement of any sort, 'is unknown.

LEADERS OF THE BOERS. Prominent Trniisvaulern of Whom Little Has lleen Written. George W. Van Siclen, founder of the Holland Society of New York, In a letter to th? St. Louis Republic, tells some Interesting stories about the Boers. He says: The Boer men average six feet two inches In height, and when they go into camp the wives and mothers follow closely a day's journey off and every Saturday, when no battle is near, they drive Into camp with fresh bread and food for their. husbands and sons and stay over night to attend the preaching on Sunday. , For this nation is so old-fashioned as to believe in God. It was on such a Sunday morning in 1S1 that Mr Joubert the wife of the commanding general, Piet Joubert, came out of her tent, as she told me herself, at the foot of Majuba Hill. She was up early to make the coffee for her husband. The Boers, about eight hundred, wrere camped In the valley, with a cordon of svntries to prevent the British from marching up and taking possession of the hill. The distant British were not expected, but there was a very heavy fog that night and they slipped between the sentries, and as Mrs. Joubert looked at the sky that morning she saw something glisten on top of Majuba. She lcoked again, with her eyes trained on the broad veldts, and there were the redcoats. "Piet," she cried, "the Itooiueck are on the hill!" "Nonsense, woman; your eyes are full of nand!" But In two minutes Piet had been pulled from his bed and thrust out of doors with out dressing. There were the British. He called his men together, and it was decided to have the larger body make a show of attacking Majuba on Its easier side, while 1C0 men were told off to climb the precipitous rear of the mountain. Said the General to me: "I kissed my wife good-bye. I shut my eyes. 1 neter expected to see her again." Thoe 1J0 stalwart men climbed that precipice, rifles in hand. Near the top they gath ered together, and with a quick dash were on the Spitzkop. One hundred and sixty of the GOO British were shot down at tne nrst fire. A few a score started to charge the Boers, but another volley put the living to flight, falling and tumbling down the hill they ought to have held against an army. Three hundred British lay on the ground, dead and badly wounded. General Joubert ortce said: "The British are mighty, but our God is almighty." And he believes it to his heart's core. So do all the Boers. Ultimately, if no great power intervenes, the British will succeed but It will be. as President Kruger has said, that. "if they must belong to England a price will have to be paid that will stagger humnnitv." Mr. Krucrer Is homely. He certainly is not pretty. The English classes call him a baboon and say nis ciotnes qon t nt. There was once an American whom these same English classes called an ape, and he was lone and ungainly and his clothes did not fit to the queen's taste; but Abraham Lincoln took care of his own nation. So does Paul Krucer. He. too. is likely to die a violent death. But he said, "The hour of death is the hour of immortality." And the sons of these Boers will have to be reckoned with when the old gener.ls and leaders are killed off. A nephew of General Joubert has been wounded, another taken prisoner. He has two sons now In the ranks. Of course the younger men are not yet known to fame. Among them are. sons and grandsons of the notable Boer commanders of their war for freedom in lso and ism, bearing the honored names of Bezuldenhoud. Grove, Schoemann, r oune, I'retonus, Muller. Erasmus, Botha. Engelbrecht, Lem mer. Wellbach and De Beer. Gen. Jan Kock was another, good fighter: he was woundedj and taken prisoner by the British, and his wife went, under a flag of truce, to nurse him. Ilia death has Just been announced Gen. P. A. Cronie, too. is a famous Boer general; he demanded- the surrender of Mafekirur to "avoid further bloodshed, and Colonel Baden-Powell returned a curt refusal to surrender, and had the temerity to inquire, "When will the bloodshed begin? It began. President Thomas F. Burgers was a cler gyman, an upright and industrious man, but a dreamer. He wanted high schools and colleges, telegraphs and raUroadH, and two years after he was elected the Legislature sent hlra to Europe to get a loan to build a railroad to Delagoa bay. After the road was partly built not enough money could be obtained to finish it. and the rails and other materials on the ground rusted away. Tho second President of the Orange Free State was Jacob Nicolaus Boshof. He had to deal with the native Basutosi, and was unsuccessful In the first war with that tribe. He was succeeded as President by Martin Wessel Pretorlus. a son of. the famous old general. The country grew stronger during his administration, buying out the territorial rights of the Grlqua chief. Adam Kok. Pretorlus was succoeded bv President Hrnnd. President John H. Brand, of the Orange free State, elected in 1SSS. was a lawyer. with the respect of all parties; he had hla hands full with the war with the native Basutos under Mjshcsh. Great Britain claimed the diamond! fields, worth X200.OtX.O, as British territory, but finally comDroml5vl with President Brand by paying the Orange rTee oiaie i.io,uuo, with which ho paid off all nis national aebt. Francis W. Reltz succeeded Mr. Brand as President. He was also a lawyer chief justice. At present he is secretary of state or tne outn African Republic. Under his administration as President the Orange rree btate prospered greatly, good roads, bridges and nubile buildlnes beinc con structed everywhere. His health failed in is j nd he was succeeded by the present President Martin Stevn. who has lived up to the treaty of offensive and defensive alliance between his own country and its sister republic, the Transvaal. It Is to hla everlasting honor and to that of his country that in tho face of death thev have joined the South African Republic to resist xjriusn oppression. Old Gen. Andries Pretorlus was a pic turesque man of crreat natural srifts Pro toria was named after him. He was made commander-in-chief of Natal, and he It was who invented the rounding up of wagons In a ring or rampart, with the men and animals Inside, whenever attacked by the natives. He adopted this method of defense In his campaign against the great Zulu chief Dingan, whose power he broke In a uaiue at a river ever since called Blood river. John Henry Hofmvr is a South Afrfpun statesman, now resident In f'.itM TVTx-n chairman of the Cane Town Af riUnn,iii Bund, who exercises a great infliif all the plans of the Dutch, or Afrikander party, us it is called, which exists in all the South African states, Cape Colony, Natal. Orange Free State and the South African Republic. While not In office, he is creauea witn being the deus ex machina, the power behind the throne, in the movement looking toward an alliance of all those countries, a movement which Great Britain has just taken up as llkelv to lead quickly to a South African province after situ has killed ofT all the Boers and annexed their republics. General Nlcolaus Smit In 1S?1 commanded a detachment of Boers, who. near th Ingogo river, attacked general Colley'a forces on their way to New Castle. Until evening neither party had the advantage. but Just at dusk. In a pourine rain. Smit and hl3 men made a charge, and the Kncllsh ran away that is, what was left of them, for two-thirds who started out in the morning remained dead or wounded on the field of battle. In the three battles of M-N'ew Castle. Lang's Nek, where General Pit Joubert commanded against Sir George CoIIey. and Bronkhurst Spruit, where General Frans Joubert led the Boers against Colonel Anstruther the English lost over seven hun dred men. while only seventeen Boers wre killed and thirty wounded. At Majuba Hill 2 of the British were ' killed outright or dropped wounded on the field; five Boers were killed or wounded In the Jameson raid fight, where old (. eral Joubert led four hundred Boers to at tack six hundred Jameson men, one hundred British were at once killed and only live Boers.

CHOWMNSlIIi:i.l OX DEWEY, Some Sharp Comments on Nnry Hoard's lteport. Washington Post. Admiral Crownlnshleld. chief of the Bu reau of Navigation of the Navy Department, has seen fit to incorporate in his official report a peevish and impertinent criticism of Congress and a sneer at Dewey's victory In Manila bay. The criticism Is of very little consequence, and deserves no notice of a serious nature, 'ine sneer is contained in Crownlnshield's reference to the Manila affair as "1 victory won in a more propitious hour." This seems to call for a word or two of explanation. In the first place. Crownlnshleld. be It understood, is wounded m his mind, and has been for more than a year past, because his hero, Sampson, was not and never has been accepted by the American people at his freouent and persistent estimate. In or der to put Sampson In the vay of heroism. the department bestowed rpon him. an unwarranted promotion. In order to convince the country of their wisdom. Crownlnshleld and the Mutual Admiration Society have been Industriously engaged ever since July 3, 1K8, in shouting. The conspiracy fell flat. and so Crownlnshleld sulks and sneers at those whose achievements need no chorus of adulation. In' the second "place. Dewey did not go to the Asiatic station with the hearty consent of the department. Everybody knows that nis application was held up and. that an other was preferred instead. It is a matter of history that the President's somewhat emphatic Intervention was required to se cure the assignment. Dewey, therefore, was not one or the department heroes. He had not the cachet of the society. He went forth without their sympathy and approval, and what he accomplished was accomplished without their prayers. The world has hailed his exploit as a marvel of brilliancy and courage and address. Crownlnshleld finds it merely "a victory won in a more proDitious hour." This Is the first attempt on the part of any one prominent in public or private life to Deiittio tne American triumph at Manila. Naval exports of all the great powers have hailed It with slncen applauso. It was reserved for Crownlnshleld, who. throughout the -war. sat In his luxurious office at 'naw headquarters waiting for a chance to apo;tropnise his hero, to ninff a sneer at what the civilized world has celebrated as a gret and glorious thing. It would be interofrtine to know what this sore and sour wold means by "a more propitious hour." Warriors Bnd conquerors make their own "houry and their own auspices. Dewey sailed into Manila hay without a stop. Ha ivaa neen 101a in Jiong-Kong that the harbor was mined and powerfully defended. He had heard all thla before, for even the Madrid government !elleved that the mil lions sent to the Philippines for that mirpese had ben wisely nx-rx On paper, Manila was stronger tnan antiagrx Dewey knew no more about it than the Spanish government did and he cared less. Ten thousand miles away from home, with only a few cruisers: without a battleship: lyond all fiossibillty of help or re-enforcement; belevln? that the harbor was mined through out and that the forts were all that had be-en claimed for them. Dewey steamed In and coolly set about his work. It was a propitious hour yes! But it was be cauw a fighting man was there to dominate It. There might have been an equally propltlons hour at Santiago if Crownlnshleld A Co. had been overruled a swond time, in April, ltft. Of course. It is needless to say tlwt this silly fling at Dewey will not help Sarnpfn, either with Congress or with the peo ple, isut it needs no prophet to foresee that It will add very materially to the stead ily deepening impatience and contempt in whii puhlle opinion has enfolded Crownlnshleld and the society. ) A Library Experiment. Springfield Republican. Patrons of puhlic libraries often find fault because they have to wait so long for the popular novels of the day. forgetting that it wouii be out or the question for the library to buy enough copies of new books to meet the temporary demand. One good remedy for the defect Is to cultivate a tte for olt books, following the maxim of Hazlltt, who said. "Whenever a new hook Is announced, I read an old one." The difficulty Is met in a different way In the St. Louis library, which buys etxra copies of books lik "David Harem" and "Richard Carvel" to supply all wlio are willing to pay 5 cents a week for the privilege. The plan seems pen-j-ible enoueh. and the Pratt Institute library In Brooklyn is now giving it a test. Movemenli of Steamers. NEW YORK. Nov. 9.
