STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.

The conduct of the war ls under the
direction of the president, who is, under
the constitution, the commandments
OF the army and navy.
The president has ordered troops by
The thousand to Manila to occupy the
Philippine islands, which 10y the rights
OF war and the glorious valor of Admiral
Dewey and his men are now under the
sovereignty Of the United states.
Our warships and transports can not
steam to Manila unless they can be sup
piled with coal on the way, for the rea-
son that they can not carry enough for
the entire voyage.
The only place on the way for thus re-
Coaling is at the Sandwich slands-the
republic of Hawaii
Hawaii can not allow her ports to he
used either by the United States or Spain
it she is neutral, because she would
thereby become an ally of the party thus
using her ports, and a belligerent as to
the other.
She can not afford to thus go to war
for the United States, and thereby in
vite the hostility OF European powers
and Of Japan, while our government no.
tites her that it wants no favors from
her, and will not defend her if they
should volunteer her aid.
Only bv the annexation OF Hawaii to
the United States can we send our trans
ports and warships to the Philippines.
To oppose the annexation of Hawaii is
therefore to refuse to send reinforcements
to Admiral Dewey and troops for the de-
tense of our new territory on which he
planted the stars and stripes at Cavite in
April,
To refuse to make it safe by annexa-
ton of Hawaii to open her ports and sup
ply markets to our warships and trans
ports is exactly equivalent to making
direct opposition to their safe progress
across the Pacific.
Immediate action by congress on this
question Of Hawaiian annexation is the
supreme duty OF the hour. Hawaii has
voted for annexation. \ majority of
each house can Immediately make Homo
lulu a port of the United States.
The Hawaiian question is really the
Philippine question.
Call the roll. Let us see who is Tor
Spain and who for the United States.

Az UNLOOKED-FOR BLESSING

Sometimes blessing will come from a
source where it is the least expected. 1t
now looks rs though the great and hith-
erto invincible Thomas Bracket Reed,
supreme dictator of the United States
congress, had placed himself in posi-
ton to get the political AK where ii
caught the chicken. He has protruded
all the weight of his ponderous corporos-
ty in the way OF McKinley's pet scheme
of annexing the Sandwich islands until
the president has about lost his patience,
and it is limited that suggestion has
been made to some leading republicans
in his district that the administration
would be willing to try to get along the
next two years without the Hon. Thomas
b. So long as his ponderosity was only
used to squelch democrats and populists,
he WAS very useful man to the z. o. p ;
but when he attempted to use it on Will
lam, it WAS quite a different matter. II
we succeed in driving both the Spanish
out OF Cuba and Thomas out of congre IS
at the same time the war would result
more gloriously than was at first antici-

Does Baby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

CHINESE RAILROADS
Cannot Be Built Without the Aid of
Soldiers

VANCOUVER, b. c., Dec. l5.-Harry
Frazier, railway engineer sent by the
Chinese Development Company of New
ork to survey, plan out and report on rail-
way routes in China with the object of i'm
mediate construction, has returned home
with his assistants. Mr.. Frazier mapped
out roads from Peking to Canton, Shang-
hal to Woosong and Canton to Kaloom, as
far as securing charters from governors of
districts is concerned. The governors had
no objection.
Major Frazier says railroads cannot be
built without the aid of soldiers. Mr.. Fra
zier leaves on Thursday for New York. He
says he met Prince Henry of Germany who
was extremely hostile to the idea of United
States citizens building railroads in China.

THE WAR INQUIRfRS
LISTEN TO TESTIMONY BY GEN.
BROOKE
The Witness Gives a Broad Hint
Which Private Soldiers Will
Probably Profit By

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Major Cen
eral John Il. Brooke testified before the
war investigation commission today that
most of the volunteers at Camp thomas
came supposedly with ten days ratlons,
but this was the so-called field rations, and
at first they were hungry. This was rem
eded by the commissary department quite
promptly.
lne whole energies of the commanding
officer were bent on equipping these men,
but the work was necessarily slow. Early
in June the commanding general was or.
dered to send eight of the best equipped
regiments to Tampa, and to do tins 1t was
necessary to strip some OF the regiments to
help out others. Even with this eNpedient
some of the regiments left for Tampa poorly
equipped.
II deem it proper to say" continued
General Brooke, IN controversion of GER
tain reports that have heard, that l did
inspect the CAMP sinks and kitchens con-
tinually."
I'VE have plenty of testimony before us,
said General Dodge, that you did this
frequently
1t was more than frequently" said Gen
eral Brooke, ''it was daily"
General brooke said that there were i'll
the beginning a great many complaints Of
scarcity of medicines, but that the army had
abundant food supplies. The army of the
Potomac in 1861, he said, was not nearly so
well equipped.
Governor Beaver read a report from
james Parker, sanitary inspector of the
Twelfth New York volunteers, detailing an
unprintable, disgusting state of sanitary af-
fairs at Camp Thomas during General
Brookes administration, and General
Brooks was asked what he had to say re-
garding it.
Il will say" he replied, ''that it is not
of that report l will see that that young
man goes before court martial for those
statements unless he be protected in his

SHE MAY COLLAPSE
Repair of the Massachusetts Delicate
Operation

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-The Herald says:
So serious are the injuries sustained by the
battleship Massachusetts that Naval Con-
structor Bowles estimates the cost
of her repairs will be at least $24, 900. Requi-
stions covering this amount for material
and labor have been approved and repairs
will be started at once.
Constructor Bowles estimates that six
weeks at least will be necessary to complete
the work.
Officials of the Navy Department say the
injuries to the battleship are similar to
those suffered by the Brooklyn year ago.
The Brooklyn, while steaming down the
Delaware River, struck pinnacle of rock
which tore her bottom and caused an ex-
penditure of $4,000 for repairs. 1t is be.
lieved that the cost of the Massachusetts,
repairs will reach very near that figure, :.
Docking the Massachusetts will be deli
cate and dangerous operation. Naval ex-
perts say that for brief period the ship
must rest her entire weight, which is about
10000 tons, on the injured keel. The great
est care must be taken at this critical time
to prevent her from settling As rapidly as
possible blocks will be placed under the
bilge kees, and the vertical keel will be re-
lieved of pressure. The slightest displace-
ment of block in the meantime would
cause serious accident.
Lieutenant Bowles some time ago recon-
mended the use of docking keels on all large
war vessels. These are long timbers, to lie

THE IRON MARKET
Advance in Prices Indicates Improve
ment of Business

NEW YORK, Dec l4.-The Iron Age
in its review today says:
There are indications that the markets
are getting excited and the voices of those
who are urging caution are being heard. 1t
is certain that, notably in foundry pig iron,
BUYERS have been taught sharp lesson, and
are made to realize that their long main
tanned attitude of skepticism was not war
ranted by the facts. There have been very
large transactions in the West, our Chi
cago correspondent reporting an aggregate
of sales of 100000 tons, while Cincinnati es-
Inmates sales in that district at $4,000 tons
Southern buyers have also placed orders,
among them being one pipe works with Il,
600 tons. In the East there has been a
good movement, one furnace company plac-
ing 1900 tons in one day, but on the whole,
the East being better able to draw upon
local furnaces and upon Virginia, has been
less urgent. A number of the large sellers
have withdrawn entirely from the market
and have turned away heavy tonnage. Ex-
port business has continued, but it remains
to be seen whether home requirements will
not divert the iron out OF the export chan
nes and thus afford relief.
Our statistics show that coke and anthra-
cite iron capacity expanded $500 tons dur
ing November, but that, in spite thereof,
stocks fell off 81 900 tons.
Bessemer pig, now completely dominated
by the valley producers, has been advanced
25 cents ton for the first quarter of 1899.
Under moderate sales the steel billet mar
ket has advanced to SIG at Pittsburg, and
Sl5.75 which was done at Wheeling, is be-
ing withdrawn. Chicago reports sales ag-
gregating 25,0O0- tons. As yet there are no
indications that the great wire interest
has entered the market.
The struggle in the steel rail trade be-
tween the East and West continues. The
Lackawanna Company of Scranton, Pa, has
captured additional large orders and have
now on their books an aggregate of 100000
tons from roads west of the Allegheny Noun
tains for 1899 delivery. The starting of the
second rail mill, that of the North Mill, y
is being considered
A part of the famous Coogarde order
has been at last secured by American mills,
taking $4,000 tons of steel plates for the
pipes. 1t is understood the additional ton.
mage for the same work may be placed in a
few days. Chicago notes sales of about 5000
tons, and in the East some orders for boats
to be built in Atlantic coast yards have been
placed.
Wire rods have moved up quite sharply
in sympathy with steel. They sold as low as
$50 few weeks since, but are now held at
S2l 80 at mill, Central West. A stronger
feeling is developing also in the different
branches of the wire trade
Export inquiries continue heavy and some
business in pig iron has been put through
The bids for 100000 tons of rails for Vic.
toria, Australia, are to be opened on the
18th. An inquiry is now in the market
for 100000 tons of rails for Asiatic Russia
delivery to extend over two years.

great a mistake as boom. There will be a
reaction Expansion sounds well enough in
theory, but it is a mistake. The Republic

it. Andrew Carnege's opinion is worth
something He came to this country poor
boy from Scotland and is now employing
more men than any other manufacturer in
