The fact that seventy-fve men
could deprive the city of Chicago of
newspapers for five days is most eX-
traordinary, and is probably unique
in the history of journalism. The
papers to hand do not give the rea-
sons for the strike, but the union, af-
ter consideration, refused to support
it, and in modified way the Chica-
go papers at last came forth. Chica-
COS four page dailies without adver-
tisements will be bought up and laid
aside by curiosity mongers. There is
one thing shown, and that is how in
terdependent we are in this nine
teenth century civilization. Think OF
seventy-five men upsetting the COM
fort and calculations of a population
of 100000. Think of such popu-
lation being entirely without news.

THE FUTURE.

The main thing which is occupying
mems minds after they have assimi-
lated the news, is how are the Is
lands going to be governed Presi-
dent Dole, in an interview published
yesterday, does not think that any
radical changes will be made in the
near future. The problem is a diff
cult one and will be carefully thought
out by President Mckinley and his
advisers.
The names of the commissioners
who will undertake the task of reor-
ganizing the government here will be
received by the Philadelphia, most
probably. There are many candidates
for the positions, ana all of those
mentioned are able men. The selec-
ton rests with President Mckinley.
and we may rest assured that it will
be judiciously madeaH
There are many matters besides the
mere machinery of government which
will have to be carefully considered
and provided for. Not the least inn
portant of these is the land question.
The present system is admirably
adapted to the conditions of the coun-
try and has been the result of careful
thought on the part of President Dole
and other members of the govern
ment. But it is to President Dole that
the credit of the working out of the
system chiefly belongs. He has de-
voted much time and deep study to
the question. Senator Morgan, when

return conferred with President Nc.

land laws as they have been formulat

CAUSE OF HIS REMOVAL.

Captain Hodgston Was Ordered Home to
Save His wife's Life.
Behind the order relieving Captain
Daniel V. Hodgston of the McCulloch,
now at Manila, and commanding him
to return at once to the United States,
is a pathetic story. Captain Hodgstop
has been in the service since 1861 and
is splendid officer. When he said
goodby to his family in Detroit before
starting on his long cruise from Balti-
more to San Francisco by the eastern
route there was no immediate prospect
of war, and the only dangers apparent
ly before him were those to which the
mariner is ordinarily accustomed. When
he reached Hongkong, war had been
declared, and the McCulloch was attach
ed to Commodore Dewey's squadron.
When Captain Hodgston S wife learn
ed OF this, she was at once taken down
sick, and as her husbands danger in
creased her condition became more seri-
ous Even after the battle of Manila
she did not improve, believing that Cap
tain Hodgston was still in peril Her
physician finally took it upon himself
to write to Captain Shoemaker Of the
revenue cutter service informing him of
the facts in the case and telling him
that unless Captain Hodgston was reliev-
ed and ordered home he believed Mrs.
Hodgston's life would be the forfeit.
Under this statement of facts Captain
Shoemaker considered it but right that
Captain Hodgston should be relieved,
and the order was consequently given.

leader, before my countrymen had
heard the welcome tidings, and so can
only conceive of their joy by my own

For years the Cubans have looked

the hope of years has been realized their
enthusiasm must be almost too great for

which consisted of many representative

nightfall. The ship in which we reach

As the first boatload approached the

water, one Of the members of the party
whistled a phrase from The Depths of
My Lady's Eyes, as an old Spanish
serenade now famous in the Cuban army
is called. The signal was recognized on

Gomez to bring the recruits TO his ar
