DeWey'S Bounty.

The question of the amount of the
bounty earned by Admiral Dewey and
his men in the battle of Manila has
been settled by the judge advocate gen.
eral of the navy. The law
provides that when the American
warship is superior to the defeat
ed war ship OF the enemy 500 shall
be paid as bounty for each man
of the enemy's vessel, but If the Amer
lean vessel is inferior to the other then
5000 shall be paid for each member of
the euemy's crew. While some of the
Spanish ships that met defeat from
Dewey's squadron were some superior
to some of the American gunboats, as.
for example, the little Petrol. it was
decided by the judge advocate general
that distinctions could not be made,
aud the relative strength of the OPP
posing squsdrons should be made the
basis of settlement as to the amount of
money to be paid to the American
officers and sailors. The judge advo-
cate decided that Dewey's fleet was su-
perior to that of Admiral Montijo and
the distribution of bounty money will
be made on the basis of 800 for every
Spauiard attached to Montijo's fleet.
1t is stated that the Spanish crews
mum bered 1000 men. If this is correct
the amount $500, 900 will be distributed
arong Dewey's men. Dewey will get
$40, 900 as his share.

Bismarck.
Dallas News

Dallas news.
The death of Bismarck, coming as
it does long after his retirement from
public life and at time when, through
people had come to anticipate the end,
will not stir the world
profoundly. A quarter of a cen
fury ago Europe might have trembled
at the consequences. So the end sug-
gests no crisis, but merely a retrospect
OF one OF the great careers of history.
Bismarck first saw the light just be-
fore the star OF Napoleon set
in eternal gloom at Waterloo
and he developed for the work which
destiny had marked out for him and
gathered strength with the years with
out hindrance. His remarkable
powers of mind and body seemed link
ed with the events of his time and he
came to the front just as the Opportu-
nifty was ripe for the iron in
fiuences which he was to WELD in the
field of craftsmanship he could COM
mand all the craft of Richelieu when
emergencies were great, but he
scorned the small affairs with
which Richelieu's cunning SO fire.
quently and industriously COPIED. His
mbition for the unification of the Ger
man states was asserted when there
was apparently no hope for success,
but when the elder William called
1862, every energy of this imam of
blood and iron" and all of his subtle
craft and arts of intrigue were
called into play and centered upon
the formation of the empire. Where
diplomacy was useful he used it like a
master, but where force was necessary
it was used with remorseless determi-
nation. He was in constant storm of
criticism. but he was not once
Europe Europe was : in a MS eons.ans p state
of alarm, so bold and so rapid were his
movements. His diplomacy was more
than Europe could cope with and he
baffied the diplOmatists just as Won
MOltke baffied the armies which were
opposing Bismarck's purposes. Bis
marck's greatness as q statesman
has been fixed in history, but the
final benefcence of his work yet re-
constructed of disjointed fragments
has lived for more than q quarter of a
century, but it seems that union
achieved through force through force
must be maintained. Philosophers are
not agreed that state SO maintained
represents the best achieve
ment in the way of human government.
Emperor William, Germany's young
war lord, himself logical result of
Bismarckism, recently declared that
the chief dependence of the nation and
the crown was the army. The loss
OF productive energy represented
by the German military estab-
lishment is necessarily a menace to ma
tional perpetuity. Whenever the clash
comes, as come it must, the result will
definitely fix Bismarck's place in
history, for the result will determine
the durability of the empire
which Bismarck's genius made,
possible. It remains 10 be seen if
the ship of state, beset with dangers
on every side, the chief of which is the
French vendetta organized by Bis
marckisn policJ j, can weather the storm
when there is no longer Bismarck at
the wheel.

How The Bonds Will Be Shipped

The new government war bonds
will be shipped to the various sub
scribers throughout the country by
express. The new revenue stamps all
left Washington by regis tered mail,
but in the matter of bond shipments
the government has no option.
When the government makes q con-
tract with an express company to
transport its securities That
contract includes gold, silver,
paper money and bonds. Each has its
rate specified in the contract, and this
rate varies with the risk. Bonds are
carried for q low rate, because, if stol-
en- or destroyed, they can be replaced.
The cheapest rate made Is for unsigned
currency. Until the Harrison admins
tration came int power the Adams Ex-
press company always succeeded in
landing the contract. During the
past few years, however, the United
States Exp ess company underbid its
competitors and secured the contracts.
The rates quoted by the United States
company are now so low that the en-
tire profits would be wiped out if one
big train robbery occurred.

Express Companies Must Paw.

A Chicago dispatch, July %, says
Judge Tuley of the circuit court today
ruled in favor of the shippers in the
test case brought by the Illinois Man
ufacturers' association granting
a writ of mandumus compelling
the United States company to
stamp for transportation packages
without payment of l cent in addition

estimated sum which the express
companies will have to pay in case the
opinion is substantially higher courts.

Heavy Losers By The War

One Of the heaviest losers in an in
dustrial way as a result of the existing
hostilities between the United States
and Spain is the Spanish-American
Iron company, which, however, in its
personnel is American. This company
had large holdings in the district sur
rounding Santiago, and as a conse-
quence have felt the situation keenly.
By request of General Linares oper-
atoms were discontinued, and when
the Spaniards retreated from that
eighborhood they burned much OF
the plant, causing loss of 500, 900,
not including the company's tug Colon,
worth $4,000. which the Spanish
took, but which the company hopes to
recover

 FORTUNE Alfred Overend Led Astray by an Ad-

 a Large Stake. A BOGUS FATHERS CRIME A Bunko Scheme Where Hearts Were Trumps and Money Was
A BOGUS FATHERS CRIME
A Bunko Scheme Where Hearts Were Trunps and Money Was
 at Discount.

The police are searching for an at tractive young woman named Minnie Campbell She is accused of robbing Alfred Overend, a wealthy capitalist, of s10O00 by clever confidence scheme. Several months ago Overend met the Campbell woman and fell des- perately in love with her. Subsequently she was taken sick and Overend paid her doctors bills amounting to $500.
 After recovering from her illness the woman received a letter from Los An geles in which 1t was stated that her father had been arrested on a charge of murder. The letter stated that 1t was necessary for her to send at once 5000 to pay the attorney who had been employed to defend him. The writer also suggested that she send an addi- tionel $500 to be used in obtaining evil dence for the defense.
 Overend, touched by pitiful appeal, gave her the money. About 8 week la ter the woman showed him another let ter which she claimed she had received from her, brother, who was then in Los Angeles. He stated that their father had been convicted of manslaughter, and it would be necessary to send more money in order to save him from going to San Quentin.
 He said that s200 would enable him to fix the case so that the sentence would be indefinitely postponed The brother visited Overend's house sev- eral days later and told pitiful story Of how his father had been convicted of crime of which he was not guilty
 While he was speaking to Overend the Campbell woman entered the house and begged Overend to save her father from being sent to the penitentiary Overend readily gave up the money, and promised to give more if necessary. While the woman and her brother were scheming to get an additional sum from him, Overend became suspicious, and consulted Chief Lees.
 The latter at once telegraphed to Los Angeles and learned that no such man as Campbell had been arrested for murder. He immediately detailed two detectives on the case with in structions to arrest the clever conf1- dence woman at all hazards. While they were searching for her the clever adventures suddenly disappeared. It is believed that she has gone East.
 Last night Overend again visited po- lice headquarters and gave Chief Lees a picture of the woman who had so cleverly robbed him.
 The Chief expects to arrest her, as she is we'll known, 1t Is claimed, in the East as clever confidence woman
