vESUvIUS IS LAID UP.
Dynamite Cruiser Is Placed in Rotten
 Row" at Boston.

Boston, Sept. 1.-The United States dynamite cruiser Vesuvius arrived this morning from Newport, and Com mander PiIlsbury went ashore at the navy yard and reported to Commodore Howison, who had previously received orders from the department to put the vessel out of commission.
 To provide berth for the dynamite terror the old monitor Wyandotte was moved out into the stream and anchored, and during the afternoon the Vesuvius will take the vacant slip in Rotten Row"
 The dynamite thrower is not rotten by any manner Of means, although even with her war paint on she looks frail.
 The work of removing everything movable will be begun at once and when that is done her flag will be hauled down for the time being.

By this act MT. Mantell will estab- fish a precedent for the followers of his art, as up to this time no actor or actress has improved the opportunity 10 go into voluntary bankruptcy made possible by the new law. In speaking If this step MT. Mantell said, when seen last night in his dressing room at the Great Northern theater: "Yes,
 it is true that I am to become bank rupt The causes for taking the step are many. Of course I have many debts and some big ones. My compul- sory payment of alimony after my di vorce from my first wife in New York four years ago is One of my greatest burdens. The court first assessed me s100 a week but l afterward secured a pruning down of this sum to $55 a week. But even with this reduction am 2 good many months behind in the matter.
 [ Then my second wife's fatal illness last winter cost me dearly. My play of last year was not success flnan- cia1ly. The whole truth of the matter is that I eve more than 1 can manage to pay and I want to rearrange things and begin all over again I want to play again in New York, and I can't do that now with unpaid alimony hanging over me.
 q do not know what assets I can schedule. In fact, do not know any
 thing about the details of the pro- l cedure. I have left all that Ito my at
 torney and hope that before many 1 days the world will look little bit brighter to me" With this hone MT Mantell. who had finished his make
 up, answered the summons of the call

One OF the minor episodes of the war
was the resignation Of O. colonel of one
OF the Massachusetts regiments who now
Is charged with cowardlce.
He claims that he was ordered 70 shoot
stragglcrs OF his own command, and
refused to do so.
We do not know what court-martiai
may do with this colonel or how his of
fence may strike the military mind, but
it strikes US that IL he was to be tried
before the great body OF American civil
fans he would get OH with O. few words
OF very warm communication for bis
humane spirit and uncommon good sense.
Desperate cases require. beyond q
doubt. desperate or heroic remedies. but

There is q great deal in Hon. Joseph il.

ing OF The Times. In the FIRST place he
understands all the positions OF The
Times ia respect 10 what our financial
status should be and 20 agree TO almost
an Of them. and this proves him at once
10 be O. very level headed and sensible
man.
But he is not sensible in respect TO
finance only. His views upon most pub
lie questions Qarln of course not being
included) are conservative and sound.
Being in Washington, day or SO back
he spoke as follows 10 a reporter pf the
Washington POST. lie said;
what is the sense Of our retaining the
Philippines? Looking at II purely from
a business standpoint, the retention or
the whole group would be an act o. foiiy.
