THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1899.

Hon. John M. Allen, of Mississippi, in the year 19. While he was proud of the valiant deeds of our soldier and sailors during the late war, he thought the country had not got exactly what it paid for. Seriously, he reviewed and recokned the war appropriations at fyJ.W.'.u.Van(l this, he Mid. did r.ot represent hi if of what was yet to come. Our grandchildren would be paying the cost of this war. At the rate expenditures were going on he predicted in two years the people would quit licking revenue stamps and ix'gln licking the IK publican party. He had witstled with the "white man's burden" In the South until he was tired of It. ;md he was opposed to "coercive liberty and coercive religion." The bill was then passed without division. Mr. Hull then moved the pnssaee of the Senate army reorganization bill under susension cf th rules, after making thn following report: 'The committee on military affair In view of the few days remaining of tho session and the Importance of some provision, even If temporary in character, oelng made, did not consider the bill with n view to Its amendment, but resolved to submit It to the judgment of the House without being considered In any way a Indorsing the organization provided for, cr th details of the bill. It will, in the Judgment of the. executive officers of the government, give the President for two yean at least ample force to maintain the authority of the United State?, and It Is accepted by the committee In this view and tfcU onb." Mr. Hull, upon behalf of the committee on military affairs, explained the reasons which induced tho committee to report tho Senate bill. It war needless to Fay that the committee had been constrained to report It. It was not such a measure as the committee would recommend t- the House if there were time ahead, but with this Congress in its dying hours the committee did not feel warranted In taking action that must inevitably cause an extra session. BAILEY'S QUESTIONS. Mr. Bailey questioned Mr. Hull closely as to certain features of the bill. The, Senate, he said, had practically stricken cut the age limit for civilian appointments. Mr. Bailey asked whether the language of tho bill meant that in case a majority of the volunteer companies who have the right to b mustered out after the ratification cf the treaty of peace should desire to remain in the service they could hold tho minority, in other words, conscript them. Mr. Hull replied that he did not think the President would place such a construction on the sentence. Mr. Hull thought the bill gave ample force to the President up to 1901. He believed It was the best bill that coild bo passed at this Ft age. Mr. Hay (Dera, Va.), the ranking minority member of the military committee, warmly opposed the bill. It contained, he declared, a conscript feature. The vote of a majority of any organization now in the service would conscript the minority. Such legislation should not go upon the statute bonks. Mr. Henry fDem., Tex.) also opposed the bill again, which he said he would give the last vote he had In the Fifty-fifth Congress. Mr. Carmack (Dem., Tenn.) said he would vote for the bill as the best that could be obtained. The debate was extended . and Mr. Marsh (Kep., .111.) advocated the passage of the bill. The most prominent Republican leaders on the floor supported the bill. Mr. Bromwell (Rep., Ohio) vigorously opposed the measure. The House, he said, should not swallow It. He was tired of bc-5ng "held up" by a minority of the Senate as disagreeable as an extra session would be to iilm personally he would vote against it. Mr. Hepburn thought the pending bill' should never be accepted until every recourse had been exhausted to secure something better. Tho House should reject it now. If the worst came to the worst, the JIovmo could reverse its action. Replying to Mr. Hepburn, Mr. Hull said he did not believe there was any chance of securing a. concession from the Senate. It was this bill or an extra session. Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, agreed that It was this bill or an extra session, and as between the two evils he preferred this bill. Republican applause. "On one condition," added Mr. Bailey, "on the condition that the chairman of the committee will assure us that Section 12 will not be construed as authorizing the ccnscriptlon of unwilling volunteers. Mr. Hull replied that he not not desire to violate any confidence, but he would take the risk of saying that In a conversation with tho President he had said that he did ANOTHER BAD DAY. '

not regard the language of the bill as authorizing the con-ciiption of a single man, anvl if conscription became necessjry hs would cad an extra session to secure that power. Republican applause. "Tho President will use no power not clearly given."' observed Mr. Henderson. Mr. lialley then advised the Democrats to accept the pending- bill, because it makes a temporary condition with a temporary provision. An extra, session would fasten a largo permanent standing army upon the country.

) Mr. Steele (Rep., Ind.) earnestly opposed tne pass-age of the bill, which he denounced as an abortion so full of defects that It m.'pht be construed to create an army of Zi.n men or an army of YiO.'f). After some further remarks by Messrs. Sha froth. Jett and Williams in favor of passing the Mil. the question came to a vote. Mr. Henry (Dem., Tex.) demanded the yeas and nays amid cries of "No!" "no!" from both sides. Only eleven members supported the demand, and on division the bill was passed X3 to S2. Upon the motion of Mr. Eoutelle (Rep., Me.) the Senate bill was passed to create the grade of admiral for the benefit of Rear Admiral Dewey. At 6:25 p. m. the House adjourned. Avoitic or Tin: s kxate. Xnval Hill Paused with Amendments 90,00.040 Voted for Spain. VASHIXGTON, March l.-The Senate Is rapidly clearing Its decks for final adjournment. The naval appropriation bill, which ordinarily consumes the time of the Senate for several days, was passed this afternoon after less than five hours of debate. In that time, however, it was amended radically In one respect. The price to be paid by the government for armor plate was fixed in the bill nt $D00 a ton, a reduction of the amount fixed by the House of $113 a ton. In addition, the secretary of the navy was authorized, In the event of the refusal of the ar-mor-piate, companies to supply armor at $3X) to proceed to the construction of an armor factory to cost $!,r;00.000, and placing In the secretary's control Ji.CW.OO) with which to operate the government plant. The fight for these amendment was led by Mr. Tillman, who mado a characteristically sensational speech In support of the propositions. The Senate adopted resolutions ?f regret at the death of Liord Herschell and concluded the day's session by pronouncing eulogies upon the late Itepiesentatlve Dlngley. One of the first acts of the Senate wnen that lody convened at 11 o'clock to-day was consideration of th bill carrying Jl'O.OOO.OuO with which to pay Spain for relinquishment of the Philippine islands In accordance with the treaty of Paris. Mr. Allison reported the measure from the committee on appropriations and asked for Its immediate consideration. The bill was laid before the Senate and in half a minute was passed without ajword of debate. Mr. Cullom, a member of the Hawaiian rommtrsion. addressed the Senate briefly upon the bill creating a form of government for the territory of Hawaii. Mr. Perkins inquired of Mr. Cullom whether any provision existed regarding the alien contract laws applicable to' the States and Territories of the United States. "None whatever." replied Mr. Cullom. "Unless we take action before the close of the present session." suggested Mr. Perkins, "as many contract lalorers as desired may be imported Into Hawaii." "Doubtless that is true," replied Mr. Cullom. Mr. Cullom discussed at length the acquisition of territory of the United States at various times. In this connection he referred to Mr. Hoar as a "gentle echo of the antl-lmperlaliits of former days." ALLEN'S VAlEDICTORT. Mr. Allen called up the resolution of Mr. Vest In relation to the acquisition of foreign territory by the United States and delivered on lt his valedictory. Six years ago, he said, he had entered the Senate chamber as the single member In this body of a new political party. "To be a pioneer of a new political party," said he, "was by no means an easy task," but he would retire from the Senate with the consciousness of having done his duty as best he could, and of r.ot having committed an act or said a word that he would not repeat in like circumstance?. Jfe had lived, he said, for forty years in the uest and was essentially a product of that region. He would return to It with gladness and take up his work among his friends of a lifetime. The following measures wre passed: Joint resolution construing the act approved June l.v entitled "An act granting pensions to sokLers and sailors who are incinjciruted for the performance of manual labor, and rjovlding for pensions to widows, minor chi.dTen and k pendent parents;" for the allowance of certain claims reported by the accounting officers of the Treasury Department the claims being known as the Fourth ofJuIy claims. Mr Tillman secured the adoption of a resolution authorizing the secretary of war to loan to the executive committee of the United Confederate Veterans for their reunion i to be held in Charleston. S. C. on lA l- l' 10000 cot HOW mattresses and tents. Consideration of the naval appropriation mil was then begun, the amendments of the committee being acted upon as the measure was read. The reading of the bill was concluded at 1:50 p. m.. all the committee amendments having been agreed to in the course of the reading. After some formal amendments were offered bv the committee and agreed to Mr. Orav called attention to a provision of the bill appropriating $1,OW.Y0 for the "purchase and manufacture of smokeless powder. He deemed it a policy of our people not to bring the government Into competition with private industry. He therefore ottered an amendment providing that not more than Sir-O.oon of the sum should be expended in manufacture. Mr. Hale accepted the amendment and it was agreed to. SUBMARINE BOATS. An amendment was agreed to authorizing the secretary of the navy to contract for two submarine boats of the Holland type at a cost not to exceed $lCo,000 each.' Mr. Hanna offered an amendment authorizing the secretary of the navy to purchase from the Gothmann Torpedo Gun Company, of Chicago, the gun equipment for one or more of the harbor defense monitors, subject to the usual inspection of the Bureau or Ordnance, at a cost not exceeding JXO.OiO. lne amendment was agreed to. The secretary cf tho navy was authorized to appoint a commission to report on a location for a coaling station on the Pacific coast south of San Francisco; to appoint a board to consider the construction of a dry dock in the Columbia river, and to appoint a similar board to consider the desirability of constructing a dry dock at Key West or near by waters. Tho controversy over the price of armor plate was then precipitated by Mr. Tillman, who oiicred rtn amendment reducing tho price from $41.1 per ton to ?J.. Sjeaklng to his amendment, Mr. Tlllrrin declared that millions of dollars were being squandered by the government in feathering the nests of the armor trust and he felt that the Senate and country ought to know "what kind of a steal was going on." He said in I ho course of his speech that he proposed an alternative proposition, to establish a government armor plant so that the United StRtCS Could S.1V tr thv nrmr.f tn-cj tt . .-v ' ... ...vst 1 4 lak 1441 11 I It did not supply armor at a proper price the j government wouid manufacture Its own armor. He said it was jerfectly evident that I the two Pennsylvania armor plants had a pun. wnatever that might mean," in the other house of Congrs and were able to hold up the price of armor. Mr. Tillman favored the doing of the work by the government, even at an increased price, for then labor and not capital would receive the benefits. "Why," he demanded, "are we to yield to these armor thieves, these robbers? Are we to permit these people to order us to stand and deliver? 1 have deemed it my duty to protest against these methods and therefore have ottered my amendment reducing the price to $3X a ton." Mr. Chandler, in support of the amendment, said the Carnegie and Bethlehem factories were in combination and together in combination with Kuropean manufacturers. They were making a desperate effort to hold up the price of armor and the device had been resorted to of bringing forward a new armor, which they maintained could not be manufactured for less than iZl a ton. He did not propose, he said, to be led away from his opinions by any such statement. He did not believe that lt would cost JKu a ton more to make the Krupp armor than to make the Harveylzod armor. He would rather wait, before purch ising more armor, for another cartful investigation of the whole armor plate question. PRICE OF ARMOR CUT TO UX.

Republican members of the Legislature, 73 In all, two being obsent, met In caucus at 8:30 to-night to ballot for senator. According to an agreement lt will require I0 votes to nominate two-thirds of the entire Republican membership. The first ballot resulted: Hayward, 33; Thompson, 16; Webster, 9; Field, 5; Lambertson, 1; Halner, 1; Adams, 1; Talbot, 1. Tho sixteenth ballot was the same, and on none of the Intermediate ballots was there a change of more than one vote. The effect of the ballots was to reduce by two votes the strength of Judge Hayward, as shown In the legislative ballot of to-day. These two are supposed to have gone to Thompson. At the end of the sixteenth at midnight a motion to take a recess for half an hour carried, and many were of the opinlon that this portended a break when the caucus reassembled. At half-past 1, at the end of the twentyfourth ballot, which showed no change, tho caucus adjourned until Thursday morning. Interest in the senatorial vote to-day was secondary to the Republican caucus. The ballot resulted: Allen. Pop., .'7: Hayward, Rep.. 41: Thompson. Rep., 12: Webster. Rep., 10; Field. Rep.. f; Weston.

The Republicans held a conference and decided to vote for Dr. Hiram R. Burton. The Democratic members held a conference this morning with a view to concentrating their twenty-one votes on Senator Gray. Thus far four of them have abstained from voting for Senator Gray. They agreed to vote solidly today for Chancellor John R. Nicholson, but the agreement Is to stand only for to-day. It is a scheme to unify the Democratic vote and before to-morrow's ballot a caucus will be held as a result of which it Is expected that the twenty-one Democratic votes will be cast solidly for Gray to the end. Today's joint ballot resulted: Addicks, 17; Nicholson, 21; Burton, 11; absent, 3. I'tnh Bribery Investigation. SALT LAKE. Utah, March 1. Senators Nebeker and D. II.

Senator Nebeker said he had understood that 83,000 would be paid any one who would vote for McCune. Personally he did not know about Improper advances being made. Senator Peery's testimony was about the same as Nebeker's. W. D. Thompson said he asked Representative Callister if he thought it wrong to vote for either of the Democrats, provided he was paid 83,000 or 81,X for it. Callister said lt would be better for the man elected to give the money after the vote had been cast. "I told him the man would not have to then," said Thompson. McCune's name was not mentioned. Representative Callister testified that he had never said to Thompson that ho would vote for a consideration. Qtiny at Hnrrlnbursr.

The vote to-day was: Barnes, 20; Estee. 1: Burns, 25; Grant, 2fi; Scott, 2; Devries (Dem.), 1; Doz.nfelt (Dem.), 1: White (Dem.). 27. and Pholan (Dem.). 3.

GOMEZ NOT IMPATIENT

HE IS NOT IRGIXG A 31 Ell I CAN S TO EVACUATE Cl'BA. Satisfied the Inland Will Be Surrendered ns Soon n Possible Review of Havana Police. HAVANA, March 1. General Maximo Gomez, in reply to a question to-day as to how long the American military occupation of Cuba would last, said: "I have talked with the American generals and high authorities, and am deeply, truly convinced that there is no doubt whatever that the United States will loyally keep its promise and that Cuba will be free and independent. Some among us do not recognize the fact that such a radical change of government' cannot bo made as rapidly as they desire." This morning at tho Hotel Trocha General Gomez had a conference with the governor general. It Is understood that the military authorities have requested Washington to send to Cuba the $3,Oj0.00O which Is to be distributed among the Cuban troops. The details of the conference cannot be made public in the United States just yet, because their repetition to Cuba by cable might create local feeling and render more difficult the work in hand. It is expected, however, that the Cubans will not recognize the Cuban soldiers who took the field after the signing of the peace protocol. The Cuban Assembly will meet to-morrow, when matters pertaining to the payment of the troops will be discussed. General Gomez yesterday visited the graves of Gen. Antonio Maeeo and Lieutenant Gomez, the son of the Cuban commander who was killed at the time Maceo was drawn Into an ambush and slain. The graves are situated at Pur.ta Brava. twelve miles from this city. General Fitzhugh Lee called informally on General Gomez at Quinta yesterday. They exchanged greetings. Governor General Brooke, accompanied by the members of his staff, also called upon Gen. Gomez, but the Cuban commander was absent at Punta Brava. Major General Ludlow. Civil Governor Mora, Mayor La Coste and the City Council to-day reviewed the police force, which made an excellent showing. General Ludlow complimented ex-Captain McCullagh and Col. John Gary Evans, superintendent of tho department of correction, on the results of their two months lalors in tho physical appearance of the men, the precision of their movements and their soldierly bewaring. He contrasted their present smartness with the ragged and slouchy appearance of the original applicants. The new force la altogether a Cuban institution. The Cuban flag alone was carried in today's procession. General Ludlow and all the American ofiicers taking off their caps as the column hied by. The force has been placed at the disposal of the. mayor and will begin policing the city to-morrow, when the Eighth and Tenth regular regiments will withdraw their patrols. Mr. McCullagh, who considers his work done, will go to New York in a few days and Colonel Evans will retain general supervision, but tho Cubans will be allowed a free hand, and their success or failure in managing the polica and keeping order will lniiuence the military authorities In placing other departments under exclusive Cuban direction. Lieutenant Glover, of the Two-hundred-and-second New York Volunteers, has returned frcm a trip along the north coast of the province of Pinar del Rio, where he distributeel rations at points not reached. He went as far as Santa Fe, 150 miles from Havana, and distributed fifty thousand rations to the mayors, who undertook to send them at Intermediate points for interior towns and district. The present supply should last fifteen days. The United States armored cruiser New York, flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, -Rear Admiral Sampson commanding, and the United States battle ship Indiana, have arrived here. The admiral's flag was saluted In the customary manner. The two war ships left Bermuda on Feb. 2-1 for this port. About sixty former Spanish officials were thrown out of office when Governor General Brooke signed the orders abolishing the secretaries of government under the old regime. Sonor Capote, secretary of department of state in General Brooke's advisory cabinet, has been designated to treat with the foreign consuls In Cuba j representing the insular government. . Archbishop Chappelle, the apostolic delegate, has arrived at Matanzas. SOLDIERS 311'ST MIT DRIMv. Havana Snloou Keeper Fined $00 for Selling: to EnllKted Men. HAVANA, March 1. The American, military authorities in Cuba are attempting to make the American so'diers here teetotalers by stopping tho sale of beer at post exchanges and closing the bars in Havana and Marlanao for selling beer or wine to privates cr noncommissioned officers. The proprietors of such places are -fined $500, but are allowed to reopen after three days, on giving bonds. The private' soldiers, especially the volunteers, think lt a hardship that they may not buy beer, when the officers of their regiments are unrestricted, especially as the volunteer officers feel comradeship for their men and often buy flasks for them. Aa matters stand now the American soldiers cannot get drink, not even beer, without breaking tho law or forcing some one else to break It. Nevertheless they will drink; and tho present regulations so operate that they can only get the worst brand of Havana brandy, surreptitiously brought Into camp. One night seven cafes were closed in Havana, including, as already cabled, the Alblsu and tho Tacon. The former was cltted for keeping open after hours, the latter becauso Its proprietor, a Spaniard named Gonzales, was said to have sold liquor to a sergeant. Gonzales, who has a good reputation, declares that at the time tho alleged offense was committed the cafe tables were crowded and about fifty people weie at the bar getting drinks, among them the sergeant in question. Several times the barkeeper refu.-ed to serve the sergeant, but the latter finally grasped a glass of liquor intended for another, an American officer. The latter, who was watching, immediately caused the barkeeper's crrest. This is the explanation of the.proprietor. who appeare-d yesterday before the police functionaries, where he was informed by the interpreter, who had talked with the sergeant, that the latter's testimony would clear him. as the sergeant would recite the facts just as they had occurred when the trial came on. lt appears, however, that the officer who had caused the arrest prevented the sergeant from testifying as he had Intended to do and Gonzales was fined $7 and ordered to keep his housj closed for three days. He has forwarded a written protest, with his statement of the transaction, to Major General Ludlow asking for justice. - While such a case !s scarcely typical of the general policy of the military authorities In Havana, there is evidently a strong desire on their part to make examples cf all proprietors of liquor saloons and cafes who sell Intoxicants to privates or noncommissioned officers. Their zeal led them on Sunday night, lt thought, too far; and tho impression prevails that they are trying to get every cafe proprietor under bonds, without waiting for clearly-estab-llshed offenses. There is a great deal of unfavorable criticism on these recent arrests, which are considered unnecessarily arbitrary. ComnilsMonei m Start for San Joan. NEW YORK. March 1.

Albert Becker, a Chicago Butcher, Tells. How He Disposed of III Wife. CHICAGO, March 1. Albert Becker, the South Side butcher who has been In custody for a week on suspicion of having murdered his first wife. Teresa Becker, broke down to-night under the long continued cross questioning of the police and made a complete confession. "I killed her on Jan. 27," said Becker defiantly. "We were walking on the Randolph-street viaduct and began quarreling. I became angry and threw her Into the lake. Then I went home." Since Becker's arrest, his second wife, seventeen years old, Eda Suterlin, has been In custody. Becker Inquired continually for her, asking the police why she was not released. He was always given an evasive answer and apparently receiving the impression that Eda would in some way be connected with the disappearance of his first wife. Becker, according to the theory of tho police, made the confession in order to absolve her from any blame. The body of the murdered woman has not yet been found. liecker'3 story of the crime Is looked upon with suspicion by manv of the officers who have been working on the case. All the evidence gathered has Indicated a far more brutal method of murder than drowning! and the opinion is expressed that Becker, finding himself cornered, told a story that reftected as lightly as possible upon himFelf. AGUINALDO'S DEMANDS AVAXTS ALL CIH RCII PROPERTY FOIl RELEASE OF PRIESTS. AU AhIcm 7,000,000 for Surrender of Other Prisoners Rebels Prepar- , Injr for Defense. MANILA, March 2, 10:30 a. m. It Is reported that Agulnaldo will only release the Spanish clerical prisoners upon condition that all landed and other property they own shall be transferred to the rebels and also that the native pric-sts shall be recognized. Last night twelve rebels, In two canoes, were discovered paddling out from Paranaqua. When the cruiser Buffalo's searchlight was turned on the rebels they used a calcium light signal arranged with the picket boats. The searchlight was taken off and the roixris attempted to cross the bay, tut a patrol boat overhauled them after a chase and took them prisoners to Manila. Two battalions of the Twentieth Infantry have been assigned for provost guard duty and a third battalion will join General MacArthur's division. It was unusually quiet along the whole line last night, only a few shots being fired from a rebel gun near the cemetery. Tho enemy are apparently busy preparing their defenses, realizing that the Americans will attack them when the expected reinforcements arrive. ISfRGENTS ACTIVE. TlirotrlnR Up Earthwork nnd Preimrlng to Mount a. Ilnttery. MANILA, March 1. The rebels are veryactive at Caloocan and Malabon. They evidently intend to mount a battery in front of the Malabon church, destroyed by the fire of the United States monitor Monadnock on Feb. 17. They can be seen throwing up earthworks for guns and epaulments. There was the usual desultory firing yesterday evening and to-day, but the only casualty reported Is in the case of Private Harold Parks, Company K, California volunteers. The Nebraska volunteers at the reservoir had a slight brush with a small body of the enemy this morning. The re Ik-Is scattered into the jungle after the first volley. The United States transport Tacoma has arrived here without the loss of 'a horse or a mule. The Negros commissioners have entertained several American officers and British subjects at their hotel in return for tho compliment paid them by General Otis. They sailed for Negros to-day. The United States transport St. Paul has embarked Colonel Smith, Major Simms and a battalion of the California volunteers for Negros and the officers recently appointed to posts in Iloilo. Chaplain Leland, of the Tennessee volunteers, died recently at Iloilo of smallpox. Generaly speaking, the situation is unchanged. FILIPIXOS ASK if 7,O0O,0O0. Want an Enormous Ransom for Release of Spanish Prisoners, NEW YORK. March 1. A dispatch to the Herald from Manila says: "It is reported here that Spain authorized General Rios to offer the Philippine republic $TiOO,000 for the release of the Spanish prisoners. The offer was indignantly declined, and the insurgents asked $7,000,000. General Rios threatened to expose the Philippine republic as a lawless set of bandits, whose idea of government is the destruction of life and property if they refused to accept his condition for the release of the prisoners. Senor Flores and Ser.or Torres convej'ed Rios's message to Agulnaldo's government. The reports that the rebels are offering tr treat for peace are untrue. About twenty English subjects, including women and children, are within the rebel lines north of Manila. Nothing has been heard of them since Feb. 5." 3IORE FILIPINO FAIRY-TALES. Insurgent Sntd to Hold Six Hnndred American Prisoner. LONDON, March 1. The Filipino European Junto has received the following dispatch from Manila, dated Feb. 23: "The last encounters have been real battles. We now hold Pasfg, Patercs and Gaur'alupe. Our northern line had advanced to Tondo. The American losses are far larger in proportion, than ours. We hold six hundred American prisoners, who will be taken into the interior. Not one of our people has surrendered, and our government maintains its Independence and will not yield. "A Filipino telegram from Cebu asserts that the foreign residents have asked the insurgents to withdraw. In order to avoid a bombardment. The Filipinos have acceded, trtt-ting that their action will be brought beicre the. foreign consuls, with the view of arranging an equitable settlement with the Americans." Bottoms of Dewey's Vessels crnrl. WASHINGTON. March l.-The Monterey left Manila a fortnight ago with the Baltimore to go Into dry dock at Hong-Kong, where her bottom has been scraped and the large accumulation of barnacles, especially troublesome In tropical waters, has been removed. She will rejoin the fleet In the Philippines In perhaps two days. The Baltimore will take her place in the dry dock for the regular scraping, and will be back with the rest of 'the fieet probably within a week. Tho gunboat Castlne Is working her way to join Admiral Dewey. She left her first station at Havana at the outbreak of hostilities between our forces and the Filipinos, and as her speed Is naturally comparatively slow. It may be a mor.th before she will reinforce the fleet at Manila. Cnptnln Elliott Killed. TOPEKA, Kan., March L Governor Stanley has received a cablegram from Colonel Funeton, of the Twentieth Kansas, at Manila, stating that Capt. D. S. Elliott, Company G. Twentieth Kansas, who was reported seriously wounded In yesterdaj-'s dispatcher, was killed in a battle with the insurgents. Information for the Lord. Washington Pot. Sometimes a sentence In a prayer seems humorously out of place. This was the case yesterday when the chaplain delivered a prayer, appropriate to the holiday. He recited the names of a number of great men, concluding with the Illustrious Washington, "whom," he &aid, "we call tho 4Th Father of His Country. "

CHARLEY JOHNSON WHIPPED Floored lr Tommy Ryan In Eighth Round und Counted Out. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 1. Sixteen bundled people witnessed the glove contest this afternoon between Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, N. Y., and Charley Johnson, of Minneapolis. Both men entered the ring In good condition, but it was apparent in the first round that Johnson was no match for Ryan. Ryan seemed to have measured his man fully In the first round and in the second let him do most of the fighting. Johnson forced the fighting in tho third round, but could not do much damage, II received several stiff jabs oa.the ribs. After the fourth Ryan had the fight his own way. In the eighth round Johnson was knocked down three times by blows in the stomach and ribs, and the last time was counted out. The winner was challenged at the ringside by Australian Jimmy Ryan. The challenge was promptly accepted and March 9 was named as the dat of the meeting. Colored Boxer Wins. LONDON, March L In a twenty-round contest at Gateshead, this evening, Bobby Dobbs, the Minneapolis colored boxer, defeated Pat MacDonald in the second round. The two men had met previously at. Glasgow, on Feb. 22, but the police Interfered and arrested both combatants. Dobbs was the favorite. In the first round the fighting was very hot. In the second round the Minneapolttan assumed the superiority and proved far too clever for his opponent. MacDonald, who was badly punished, was knocked out just before the conclusion of the second roond. Dobbs intends to return to the United States at once, where he will meet all comers. Thlrty-Ronnd Draw. COLUMBUS, O., March l.-The twentyround fight at Newark to-night between Buck Stelzer, of Columbus, and Red Connelly, of Philadelphia, ended in a draw. The fight was fast and furious throughout, and both men were so weak at the end of the twentieth round that neither could have landed a knockout. SPEAKING OF HEROES. lion Dewey Profits- In Remaining; ivt n. Great Distance. New York Commercial Advertiser. Out of the purely manufactured and ephemeral reputations there rise some few careers that actually do deserve the honor that Is given to them, and these, of course, make her worship quite respectable. But at any given moment they are apt to be confounded and confused with the bogus refutations that surround them, and they must await the test of time In order to be seen In their correct perspective and proportions. The American irreverence has at least this much of good abojit it in that it serves as a corrective to our national lack of real discrimination. We set up someone as a hero, and we "feature" him In all the newspapers pnd pour enthusiastic adjectives upon him. and think that we have found a new Immortal: but pretty soon he doe3 or says some rather flat or silly thing or he takes himself too seriously, and then our eulogies take on a slightly humorous coloring, and presently the papers are all cracking jokes about him and he is tumbled off his pedestal, and one more hero has been lost to history. Some one ought to writ a little book for the benefit of heroes to explain to them the secret of remaining heroes. Probably the most important teaching of the book would be contained In the advice to every hero to keep out of people's way. No matter how truly heroic a man may be. and how actually splendid may have been his exploits, he never by any possibility can In the flesh live up to all that Is expected of him by his worshippers. They will require him at every moment to lxk godlike, or. at any rate. Impressive. They will think that every word h utters ought to be more weighty or more witty or in some way more remarkable than the words of other men. Moreover, there is needed a certain vagueness of outline so that the imagination can havo full re ope In matters of detail. a:!d all this is made im;ossibIe when you can see the hero every day. Tennyson remained until the day of his death, to the minus of most men. a romantic figure, one whose life retmed to hae about it something of the myu-ry of 1 is on Merlin, himply because Tcr.nyscn's dislike for notoriety and for promiscuous friendships kept him secluded from the public gaze. It Is one of the many phases o Admiral Dewey's happy fortune that h won his superb victory on the other side of the world, away from ublqaitous reporter and curious sightseers, and that the reports resardinf him come evea now to us

Dcth Sometime Spares. A pathetic ftory cf fact is told by an exConfederate soldier of one dark night on the skirmish line during the war. When on the instant that ' his musket was aimed to kill a Union picket the latter, suddenly inspired with a sense of his own defenceless condition, began to sing those bcaulul words: "Cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wingr." The Confederate withheld his hand. He could not re. The picket's life was saved. Death sometimes spares the one who eetns marked to be his victim. Let no one despair, even ia the darkest hour. Many a man who seemed picked out for death by consumption has found respite and safety through the use of that wonderful " Golden Medical Discovery," which Dr. R. V. Tierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., invented thirty years ago, and which has brought new life and hope to almost countless thousands of men and women. Every day brings a multitude of letters to Dr. "Tierce, telling gratefully what his medicines and his advice have done to restore health and happiness to homes where hitherto sickness and misery had reigned supreme. A gentleman living In Stillwater. Washington County, Minnesota, Mr. C. J. McNarey, writes : " In the sprine of I was taken ill with consumption, ad after trying everything X could hear of and doctoring all summer my physician said I had consumption, and that my left lung was nearly gone, and that I co ild live but a short time. About twelve bottles of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery brought me out all rigl.y and I cured layselfof two more attacks of t.e Fame trouble, "i am satisfied that the 'Golden Medical Discovery will cure consumption if taken in time.

PENNSYLVANIA ST. divested of detail and leaving a fjreat deal for the Imagination to till In. If it shall bo his good luck to remain In the Far Kast for another year or two he will become almost an epic tigure to the minds of all hla countrjmen. It, on the other hand, he shall bo recalled and snail then go through with the inevitable banquets ana receptions and presentations that await him, he will still bo a splendid commander, the peer of Farragut, but he will lose something of his heroic proportions throush the familiarity that conies from close inpecticn. It la sulflclently hard upon a hero to bo put on view for every one to. tee. it is harder still for him to be put on view in situations where a lack of humor on his part may lead him Into anything that savors of the ludicrous. In fact, it takes but very little to divert the public mind into a humorous channel and to exchange tho gapo cf admiration for the guffaw of ridicule. Geneial fcicott was an heroic figure when he returned from his extraordinarily brilliant campaign that formed ono great unbroken march to final victory: but when he wroto his famous Jetter about the "hasty plate of soup" the whole country began to grin from ear to ear and the connueror of Mexico descended several steps from tha summit of his pedestal. And there Is poor Ueutenant Ilobson, who in a way impressed the popular mind for a time perhaps even more thun did the admiral at Manila, but who had no sense of humor and was too young to be discreet. When the llrst young woman kissed him he was taken by surprise, so that no one considered him responsible for the Incident, and all the ridicule of the occurrence was attached to her; but the incident ought to have shown him the perils that might at any moment menace him In his character as hero; yet he did not see them, and he went across the continent, not whizzing through on a special train, as he should have done had he really known the secret of how to remain a hero, but actually stopping off at various placea where he must have known that whole phalanxes cf feather-headed women were Ijing In ambush for him. Of course, aa be did stop off and as they fell upon him promptly there was nothing left for him to do but kiss them; but it was a great mistake, and lt was accentuated by the letter that he published on reaching Ban Francbco ii most unfortunate letter, because lt showed that ho took the whole thing very seriously and really imagined that he ought to come forth a the tlcry champion of the silly creatures who had made a spectacle of him. Had he treated the whole thing lightly in a good-humored, tactful way, or, better still. If ho had kept his mouth hut and said nothing at all, but sailed as soon as possible for Hong-Kong he might still have kept a little corner of his pedestal and might have even hoped to recover all that he had lost. But now hi race Is hopeless. Ills exploit at Santiago will always be a fame us on but hlf name when mentioned In the future will bo certain to call forth a more or less derisive smile, and he will never again be quite the hero that he was. In Search of n. Candidate. Washington Special. Now that Admiral Dewey has put a quietus on the Impertinent efforts of certain Democratic yellow Journals to give encouragement to the Idea that he might become a pr"s!dentlal candidate, tho vanity of CJeneral Otis will be played upon. The fact that Admiral Dewey Is a Republican seamed to make no difference with the en erge tic efforts of wild Democrats to get him to consent to the use of his name In connection with the presidency. They have probably not stopped to inquire into the politics of their latent idol. General Otis. What they want is a hero, and Colonel Bryan does not quite come up to their standard In that regard.
