Z NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.

Washington.-The cable report to-day
from Portsmouth, England, whence the
British flying squadron is about to sail,
that its destination may be the Bermudas,
can not be confirmed in any official
quarter.
The British squadron already at and
about the Bermudas consists of sixteen
ships. Should the Portsmouth report
prove true it would increase this squad
ron to twenty-five ships, or twenty eight
including six torpedo catchers.
WOULD BE HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION.
1t is doubted that Great Britain would
send such powerful fleet into American
waters at this time when their presence
in force sufficient to overcome our North
Atlantic squadron almost certainly would
be regarded as a hostile demonstration,
certainly not called for as long as
diplomacy has not yet exhausted its re-
sources in the settlement of the differ
ences between the Uniteed States and
Great Britain.

The amount Of business that can be

have already had many inquiries from

more and more about shoes. 1t is eff
cially stated that we have in North

then, would be 1 700, 600 pairs of shoes

of shoes requires IS factories turning

day, each factory paying fJr material

The following is an extract from

At the close of the war in 1865 we
had for the Northern States about $50

During said year we had $50 business
failures hat aggregated less than
eighteen million Us 600, OOO) dollars.

In 1898 when we were doing bust

for each man, won an and child we
had, III ali the States, IL $50 failures

vided up gives about $27 for each man,

Now it Is evident that when the fell

sign of prosperity. Hence Of the two
extremes, $50 per capita or $24 per

MUCH KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED.
Gen. B. B. Smalley had charge Of the
Democratic spellbinders in the last cam
paign, but who will fiji the important post
this year has not been settled upon. TO
be qualified for the job a man must have
an intimate acquaintance with the condl-
tons which govern every political district
in the .and. The local managers are Of
course relied upon to supply much Of this
Information. but very often their 3udg-
ment ifs warped by being in the thick Of
the fight. Then, again, every local man
ager makes It a point 10 fight for the best
speakers at the disposal of the National
Committee. He feels sighted If the
biggest Guns on the list are not sent his
way. even if his district is certain to give
the ticket a heavy plurality.
This is where the knowledge OF the boss
Of the spelbinders comes in He should
know all Of the districts where Il is unneces-
sary to send the heavy weight orators, so
that hey can be reserved for the places
where they arc most needed. At the same
time he must deal generously in gold bricks
to heal the wounded feelings OF the injured
managers.
Many Republicans would like to see the
Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay. Of Pennsyl-

Will not be realized. Senator Quay was

are some who say that Quay IS a shrewder
politician than Harrity. and there are Just
as many who clam the reverse TO be the

victory in the campaign OF 1892, and. If the
two political giants should meet in combat
this year. the struggle could be counted
upon to be something very much out Of thf'
