THE TERESA FLOATS.

Naval Constructor Hobson has kept his
promise. At 10 O'clock Saturday morning
the Spanish cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa
was floated and was towed five knots in
eight hours by the United States steamship
Potomac and the tug Merritt. She is at
anchor now in Guantanamo bay.
An urgent telegram from Constructor
Hobson brought the Newark, the Vulcan,
the Scorpion, the Alvarado and the Poto
mac from Guantanamo. They arrived off
the wreck at daylight Saturday. At sun
rise the American flag was tloatcd at the
Teresa's main truck.
Operations were begun with steam on
the Teresa's pumps, winches and steering
apparatus. A hawser was passed at $50
o'clock from the starboard quarter of the
Teresa to the tug Chapman and from her
port bow to the Merritt. The Chapman
pulled the Teresa off alone when the
hawser drew taut.
There was great demonstration by
steam whistles, and later the flagship sig
nailed to salute the star-spangled banner
with twenty-one guns. The Newark,
Scorpion and Alvarado responded. Cheers
rent the air The men were called to
quarters and the band played The Star
Spangled Banner
Constructor Hobson was perehed on tie
ships after turret watching her closely
for four miles. The pumps were going
continually. The trip was made without
especial incident.

MIR. BAYARD DEAD.

Thomas F. Bayard died at 40 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, at "karistein," near
Dedham, Massachusetts, the summer resi-
dence of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel ID.
His death was without pain.
His wife, histw daughtcrs-M War
rem and Miss Florence Bayard-and his
son. Thomas F. Jr, saw him draw his
last breath. His third daughter, the
Countess Launhaupt, is on her way to
Bedham from abroad. The body was
conveyed to Delaware yesterday morning.
1t arrived at Wilmin gton in the afternoon
and funeral services will be held to-mor-
row afternoon in the old Swedes Church,
at Wilmin gton
The Philadelphia Times gives the fol-
lowing estimate of him:
"Mr. Bayard closed his long and hon
orablc public career by his service as Am
hassador to England, a title which he was
the first to bear-though the name did not
change the office-and to which he gave
fit distinction. No representative of the
United States at a foreign court or among
a foreign people ever commanded higher
and Mr.. BayaIj's four years residence
among the English was no unimportant
factor in that friendly sympathy that has
been of such incalculable value to us in
the unexpected complications of the past
year.
Such service to his country worthily
rounded out the public life of one of the
ablest and purest statesmen of his genera
ton. and while his death will be univer-
sally lamented, it will not be noted in the
political activities of the time, from which
it was already felt that he had Withdrawn.
He was the last of Il long line of distin-
guished public men in his own family,
three generations of which had furnished
four Senators of the United States, and
he was almost the last-the most dis
tinguished, certainly, of a fast narrowing
group-of those Senators who have
brought down to our time the dignitied
traditions of the elder day.
Mr.. Bayards's influence, his long hold
upon public respect and confidence,
though possibly aided by local traditions
at the first, was wholly due to the
strength of personal character and intel
lectual probity and force. A man of pos
tive convictions and well-grasped polti
cal principles, he had no sympathy with
the compromising intrigues of the mod
ern partisan, and was little capable of ca
tering to popular prejudice or passion in
public affairs as of petty bargaining for
his personal advantage. Had he been of
more yielding disposition he might, per-
haps, have reached still higher station.
But he did even better. For he passed
through his long career in the Senate and
in the Department of State with his honor
unsullied, with the respect alike of friend
and foe, and having served his country
faithfully and well, has passed peace
fully away in the ripeness of years, leav-
ing a name that will be held in grateful
memory by all true Americans.

ROOSEVELT HANDICAPPED

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who was
on Tuesday nominated for Governor
by the New York republican conven-
ton, will be handicapped by the ques-
ton of eligibility to hold the office, de-
spite Mr.. Elhu Roots positive asser-
tion on the floor of the State conven-
ton that be was in every respect quail
flied, says the Baltimore San. Mr..
Root submitted private correspondence
between Colonel Roosevelt and his at
torney, and contcnded that the letters
furnished convincing proof that the
Colonel never intended to give up his
residence in the State. According TO
a dispatch from Binghamton, n. Y,
the democratic managers will not let
the matter rest with Mr. Roots state
ment, but will take the question in
volved to the courts for final settle
ment Lawyers quite as able and dis
tinpuished as Mr.. Root hold that the
Colonel is ineligible, and at any rate
Colonel Roosevelt's eligibility may be
formally challenged before the opening
Of the campaign. The method OF pro-
cedure may be an application for an
Injunction restraining the secretary OF
State of New York from filing the
nomination and placing the name OF
Col. Roosevelt on the official ballot.
Thus, while the ColoneFs eligibility,
in the light OF Mr.. Roots statement,
may seem to be unassailable, the mere
fact that there is a remote doubt suffi-
cient to Justify legal proceedings may
have an injurious effect upon his candi-
dacy, while his motive in making the
aflidayits which have caused his eligi-
bility to be attacked will not add to
his strength as a vote-gcttcr

Does Baby

If your baby is delicate

not nourish it, put fifteen
Or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times 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. i

NOT A VOTE AGAINST WHEELER.

pose of naming cor gressional nominees
for this district, but this year there was
only one. Democrats, republicans and

HEARTS UNITE ACROSS MASON AND DIXON.
The untimely death of the Daughter of
the Confederacy,' says the New York
Herald, has evoked said wall of grief
from the entire South, united once more
in an expression of love and sympathy
that does honor to the brave hearts that
cluster their memories of the past around
this beautiful and amiable woman Yet
we cannot suffer our brethren south of
the Mason and Dixon line to monopolize
the sorrow that the whole country feels at
the death of Miss Davis. We have not
here the veteran associations Of the Con-
fedcracy, or those strong personal feelings
of acquaintance and intimate companion
ship that never die, but it must not be forgot
ten that Mrs Jefferson Davis and her la
mented daughter have been constant and
welcome visitors at the North for many
years, and have won place in our affec-
lions second only to the homage which
was their due at home. We of the North
would join in the sweet and mournful
sentiments expressed in the South because
of Miss Davis worth and for the sake of
the bereaved mothers loss. Let us be
brothers in grief as we were only the
other day at Santiago brothers in arms.

ALGER'S FOOL TALK.

1t is funny, though it does Stir ones
wrath, to observe Alger trying the French
politicians plan and sheltering himself
behind ''the honor of the army The at
tacks upon him, he says, are not against
the Secretary of War but against the
glorious victory of the American troops,
the brave deeds of our men and their
achievements, which are the marvel of the
age
The Secretary does not help his case by
such fool talk The Presidents attitude
is much more judicious and is even patheti-
cally appealing. He has taken great pains
to have things go right, and if mistakes
have been made he wants to know of
them, that they may be corrected. But
Alger has ''no apology to make to any
man." no one could have managed the de-
partment better, and anybody who criti-
cises him is dishonoring our glorious army.
The man who is capable of talking in this
way, under present circumstances, writes
himself down unfit for official trust.
ue AncTlCau army HAS iuuetu, DIS Ht
says, "won great and noble victory" but
that was in spite of Alger The truth is
that Ayers own particular general
thought he was beaten, and he would have
been if the army had not fought harder
than he had any right to count upon, and
if the navy had not done surprising things.
But the splendid courage and efficiency of
the army, as shown both in Cuba and in
Porto Rico, only made the more conspicu-
Gus the Encouragement at Washington.
1t is because the country has learned 10
admire and trust the army that it is so i'm
patient of the civil administration of the
War Department, that has overwhelmed
the army with incompetent amateurs and
SO impaired its efficiency that it will take
months to get it back to the condition in
which it went cut to win its victory over
the Spaniards.
Approaching the many difficulties that
suddenly confronted the present admins
tration, our people would have great deal
of tolerance for an official who frankly
confessed the shortcomings and showed a
serious purpose to remedy them. They
can have no tolerance for a foolish med
der who pretcnds that everything was
Just as should have been and who tries to
shield himself behind the glorious record
of the army that has suffered only injury
at his Phiiadelphia Times.

MALARIA.

At this season in this climate malaria
is subject of interest to many. 1t
seems to have attained more especial
significance, recently, in view Of the
fact that so much suffering has been
caused by its effects upon the soldiers
in the military camps. That it IS a
prevalent trouble in all tide water
regions has long been a well-known
fact; but it is also beyond contradiction
that it yields readily to intelligent
treatment, and that there are several
well-established specifics which act
promptly and effectively upon the ma.
larial poison.
New light, however, appears to be
constantly thrown upon this interest
ing question. 1t has, for instance,
been discovered that bad water, drawn
from shallow wells and springs, is
much more dangerous source of the
disease than bad air, and that strict
observance of sanitary regulations will
go far towards checking and controlling
the ravages Of malarial fevers
In the recent French campaign in
Madagascar the soldiers were set to
work to build a cross-countrv road,
when the sick list began at once to in
crease and soon the mortality became
appalling. In connection with this
fact, Medical Director Maurel, of the
French Navy, is quoted as saying:
Europeans must not attempt to work
the ground in the intertropical regions:
it is death to them, but it does not in
jure negroes or other natives, who
should be secured for this purpose"
DR.. Maurel also made another valu-
able statement of his observations on
the subject of malaria. He said that
while in Africa he spent nights tramp
ing in the marshes, but did not suffer
any Inconvenience because he kept his
mouth closed while in the poisonous
atmosphere. He wholly refrained from
talking, but his assistants, who chatted
as they pleased, suffered with chills.
In breathing he used only his nose,
and the nasal secretions, performing
their natural functions, acted as sterii-
izers upon the organism in the air.
The above is a very simple rule, and,
according to this high French author
ity, its observance by persons living in
malarial districts would be highly con-
ducive to good health.
There is a common belief that the
turning up of fresh earth, in making
excavations and building railroads, has
a tendency to increase the prevalency
of chills and fevers, and it appears that
scientific authorities would sanction
the correctness of this theory.
Malaria has prevailed to an unusual
extent in our section this year, caused
partly no doubt by the excessively hot
and dry summer and partly by the eN-
cavations made in building the new
railroad. So soon as these temporary
and local causes cease, our climate will
be characterized by it's normal health
fulness, and our people will appreciate
more than ever the rich blessings our
bounteous section affords, and will en-
courage the spirit of enterprise and de-
velopment which has recently become
so manifest in this and many other COM
munities around the National Capital
