STRAIN TELLS ON DEWEY
Gallant Admiral Willing to be Or
 dered Home.

New York, Dec. 18.-The Suns Man la correspondent wires as follows:
 The correspondent of the Sun is in a position to say that fer physical req sons Admiral Dewey ought to be home It would be ineXact to say that he is a sick man, but to those who have seen him frequently during his work here since May last it is evident that the long strain is beginning to tell on him
 The effect of the worriment and the nigh nervous tension to which the Ad- mira1 has been subjected throughout the summer is becoming apparent. At the same time the necessity for keeping him here is practically ended. When he was summoned to return to the United States, a few months ago, he in formed the government that he thought there was still important work here for him to do and the order for his re- turn was countermanded, the Washing ton authorities realizing that he was the best man to deal with any ques- tions that might arise in the Philip pines. As the situation develops, however, it becomes more and more apparent that the part of the work that the navy has yet to do here will be largely Of a routine character. and Ad- miral Dewey feeling that tlis is So, would be satisfied to go home. At the same tune he dreadS the reception which thousands of letters he has received assure him awaits him on his return.
 The report that has reached here that the Paris peace commissioners agreed on period of six months for the ratification Of the treaty is interpre- ted to mean that affairs must remain in statu quo until this time has elapsed. That will mean the worst season of the year in the Philippines. Without go- ing so far to say that it would ser iousiy endanger Admiral Dewey's health to ask him to remain that lcng, 1t is quite true to say that it would subject him to a great strain. which would be liable, If not likely.

PROSPERITY IS ON ALL SIDES
Railroads Which Have Not Paid Dividends for Years are Resuming Payments, aad~the Stock Markets are in
 Healthy Condition.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The year is on; of the most remarkable financially that has been kncwn.. To the list of excep-
 tional incidents another was added Sa'- urday in the stock market. When war was dsclared the general conditions were such that prices fell away to an astonishing limit. Previous to that the highest prices for all kinds of invest ments had been obtained in the months of January and February when a great deal of mcney paid out in dividends was seeking employment. On the dec laration of peace prices bounded up to such degree that the best authorities said the year would not see such prices again. They were mistaken, as they admitted after the results of the cleo tion were known. Still another proph- ecy was to be smashed, however, and at the end of the year, within little more than two weeks of the final se.- tling of accounts with most houses, new money has appeared fer invest ment. Prices of everything on tEe en- tire stock exchange list are above their records of last January. It must be added that many stocks are selling, 50 gccd is the demand fer thsm, fer more than they are now CT will for years be intrinsically worth. One such stcck in particular is now selling for more than $70 a share, on which no dividends arc paid and none will be for a number of years.
 An even more remarkable fact is that the upward course of prices Is against the wishes of most of the spec ulative leaders in the market. In Janu- ary the dividend payments make an advance inevitable. It has been the custom for years to let the market sag eff in so far as manipulation can do that in the two or three weeks preced- ing the first of the year. In this way large lines of stock are accumulated to be sold at great profits when the divi- dend money appears. Every attempt so far to let the market sag has failed because of the eagerness of outsiders to pick up stocks at the slightest con- cession in prices. The demand from

MYSTERY IS NOW CLEARED UP.
Murder of American in Corea Fastened
 upon His Clerk.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-The mystery surrounding the murder of George w. Lake, an American merchant in Che mulpo, Corea, has been solved. Lake was found dead in bed on August 30 with his head crushed in, and it was thought lahat native robbers had done the deed. An investigation was made by United States Consul Horace N. Allen, with the result that the crime was fastened on John G. Flanagan, the confidential clerk of Lake, also an American.
 The motive for the horrible crime, according to the report of United States Consul Allen, received yesterday on the steamship City Of Peking, was actua!-ed by a desire to secure certain papers from an old safa in the store office. The evidence developed by the inquiry leaves no doubt Of Flanagan guilt, and he will be sent to San Francisco.

 ous Position.

Thus far they have been unsuccessful, but it is hoped they will have better luck to- night at high tide. The principal risk now is of tearing hole in the cruisers bottom while pulling her off.

THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

There is much activity in the several
Counties of the State, among the Bar
Associations. The requirements for
admission to the Bar are everywhere
being insisted upon, and preliminary
education, and increased terms of
study are required. A higher standard
of ethics is made the requisite of ad-
mission, and personal and social as
we'll as professional demeanor are be-
coming to be among those things
which a lawyer is expected and re-
quired to possess.
The honor of the body of the Bar,
as profession, and mot as mere
business, much less as trade to be
followed, Is raising the personnel of
the members, and in dress and de-
meanor on the street as well as in the
Court, is expected, and the members
are rising to the occasion. Much of
this Is no doubt owing to the exertions
and meetings of The State Bar Associa.-
tiops where the members of the Ba.
of different counties come together,
compare notes and also compare
themselves with each other, with their
carriage, demeanor, manners, language
conversation and department, and
naturally attempt to follow the very
best examples of dignity and propriety.
Members of the most important OF
the learned professions, their duties
to themselves, society, the state, and
to the administration OF civil and
criminal law forces them to very
high position, which they should strive
to adequately fill and to adorn. 1t is
manly the lawyers who fill the high
est civil Offices, the Presidency, the
Senate, Congress, the foreign ministers,
the Consuls and it should be their
pride to be prepared for a call to
the highest places.
Every member of the Bar of
Columbia County ought to be a mem
Der of the Bar Association, attend its
meetings, take part in the business,
and give it personal, professional and
social position.
The regular meeting is at 7 P. NJ,
on each Monday evening of the second
week of each regular term of Court,
at the Library room, in the Court
House.
Let us have meeting Of the men,
bcrs OF the Bar.

To Advance the Cost of Living.

Prosperity is on the way. The price
of nails, thread, hose, tinware, rubber,
enameled ware, machinery, and bread
are to be advanced by the Trusts,
while the Dingley tariff will advance
all wearing material in the Spring, or
as soon as wool importations are
necessitated. Here is short list of
recent combines and organizations of
capital to corner the products most in
use:
I. Wire nail trust, capital $40, ,ooo,-
900.
2. Machinery trust, capital $6o,-
100000.
3. Enameled ironware trust, capital
$Io,ooo,ooo.
4. Beer trust, capital 500, 900.
S. English thread trust. capital
$5o,ooo,ooo.
6. Cotton hose trust, capital $25,-
100000.
7. Biscuit trust, capital $so,ooo,-
900.
8. Tinware stamping trust. capital
$25,ooo,ooo
g. Rubber goods trust, capital $780,
100000.
1t will doubtless be asserted that if
manufacturers obtain better prices for
their products that better wages will
be paid. Does any one believe it
Wages is the last thing to advance,
and SO times out of 100 only through
strikes. While we trust such will not
be the case, in our opinion the next
twelve months will see great unrest
among labor, and serious trouble
through efforts to obtain better re-
muneratlon or resist further reductions.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1898.

Great Britain refused to agree to
our proposed international treaty pro-
hibiting either American or British
subjects from hunting seals in the open.
sea at present. In return for this the
sealing bill passed by our congress,
signed by President Mckinley and
now law will exactly hit Great Brit
ain for her churlish refusal to help us
protect the seals. 1t prohibits the i'm.
portation into this country of Bering
sea sealskins. The greatest market
for these skins is the United States,
where people have more money than
in most countries. Canadians were in
the habit of slaughtering wholesale
our seals, sending the skins to London
and having them dressed and dyed
and then selling them to us for the
cloaks of American ladies. Now, no
matter how many seals they catch,
Canadians cannot sell the skins to us.
Their best market is cut off, and it
serves them right.

Plainly But Truly Spoken.

At a meeting of Cuban sympathizers
in Philadelphia last week to condemn
Spain's deceptive offer of autonomy,
Col. A. K. Mcclure came so near the
truth as to express 1t exactly in regard
to that matter when he said that the
autonomy which Spain would give the
,Cubans is ga fraud In nearly every
feature" This is true for the reason
that this Spanish scheme does not
include single feature of true home
rule, and even If it were not object
ionable on that account so little reli-
ance can be placed in the sincerity OF
Spanish promises that the Cubans can
justihably reject the offer of terms
which they know will not be kept.
And in another respect Col. Mcclure
made no mistake when he condemned
the course which our government has
pursued, and continues to pursue, in
not requiring that Spain shall observe
the usages of civilized warfare in the
hostility she is waging against people
who are exercising the same right to
rebel against oppression as was claim
ed by our forefathers when they re-
volted against British tyranny.-Ex.
