This magazine man who. the u says,
has found enough to prove a~bundantly
the existence of gold in the islands"
starts his development shaft with
Magellan. back in 1921. and comes down
through a Francisco-library cross
cuts and Slopes to date. Doubtless, he
has found enough to prove a~bundantly
the existence of gold"
You can do tina In about every rail-
road cut or tunnel in the vast Rocky
Mountain region: to prove the abund-
ant existence of gold Is a different
proposition-the New York SUNS sem
tence fortunately places the word
'abundantly" at the saving point. A
Baptist minister lately gathered hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars and got
away with them by proving abund-
antly that there's gold in the sea. The
Klondike ooled thousands who carried
dollars in and who will be in luck IL
they bring dimes out. The East is full
of suckers who are as easily faxed as
the New York Sur is with the abund-
ant proofs of gold which are accepted
as the proofs of abundant gold.
The magazine article which the Sun
approves takes the explorations in the
San Francisco library to show that
some of the Magellan survivors, al
most four centuries ago. found. in the
Philippine diggings. pieces OF gold as
large as nuts and sometimes as large
as eggs. put mixed with earth" To
quote the stun quoted by the New York
sur isn't worth while-the mining
West has heard and read so much Of
1t that 1t has become too stale to be
amusing-miles of it have been printed.
Out of a column of it the Sun draws
the laughable, tenderfoot conclusion
that the gold possibility is an addi-
tional reason why the American flag
should cover every island, big or little,
in the golden Philippine archipelago"
Wouldn't that drive any intelligent
miner to suicide!

Vcar-AdmiraI Kirk land.

ULLETINS issued during the
tx past fortnight gave to the pub
lie the news of Rear Admiral
Kirkland's dangerous illness. His death
is announced this morning. He did not
long survive the time of his retirement
under the age limit-he reached that
limit on July 3. being at the time COM

The changes on the list of rear-ad-

His candidacy has brought to the front
a whooping-up for Mayor Van wyck
for governor-Croker is said to favor
this move.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Plat is in hot water.
Governor Black is a BON of conten-
tion-his hackers and his political enc
mics are interchanging threats. Quite
recently the name Of Cornelius n. Bliss
has been sprung. IL is a tradition in
New York politics that IL is always in

Bliss for any office that happens to be

the style that has lately been

means of defense has been popular
since the time when barbed wire first
came into service. The wire was used at
first in Cuba to mark the famous dead
line which, during the revolution. De-

The manner of use to which 1t was put.
in the recent defense of Santiago. made
of barbed wire an extremely vexatious
blockade to deal with.
AS described by some of the news
paper correspondents who were with
Shafter. the wire was not strung by
the Spaniards with the regularity Of
fence work. 1t was stretched from tree
to tree at irregular heights. Some
times a strand was fastened to a
stump, and from there TO a height of
eight or ten feet on a tree, then down
again To the next tree to a height OF
three or four feet from the ground. In

strands Of barbed wire were run along
for miles, the construction being so ir-
regular that no one knew where II
look for the strands.
The grim suggestion is that barbei
wire thus used would prove to be ot
deadly effect were a dynamo applied
that would be death for the men who
undertook to remove the tangle and
clear the way for an advancing foe.
That civilized warfare-if there is sucn
a thing-would tolerate this method OF
man killing Is not probable. However,
the barbed wire proved to be an an
oying blockade IN the way OF our
troops when they advanced on Santi-

and he accompanied that gentleman on
a visit TO this city yesterday. The
judge could hardly realize that Ana
conda was a city of such proportions.
and he was greatly surprised at
finding a fourishing and well developed
city of $1,000 inhabitants on the spot
where, at the time Judge Jones left
the state. scarcely any white mans
foot had ever trod. The judge is loud
in his praises of the state in general
and of Anaconda in particular. He was
especially struck with the handsome
buildings. the wide, level streets. AMI
the general natty appearance of the

Judge Jones has the distinction of
having been the first probate Judge in

The Dude in War.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
A dispatch I'm a morning paper calls at
tention to the fact that Dewey was as
much the dandy of the navy before the
war began as Miles was of the army. The
latter, at least. has always suffered from
prejudice on account of his love of pos
ing, good clothes and military display.
The dudes have indicated their right to
their fine clothes and their over-reined
manners. When they are reproached i'm
the future they can point with pride to
their record In the Spanish-American war.
