 patch to the Sunday
 Can.-A special dispatch 1 from Vienna says the creditors of Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg (wife of Prince Philip, who is ac- cused of forging the sigma tUre of Crown Princess Ste phanie to the extent of 2,O0O,- 900 forins, are bringing ac- tion against her in an at tempt to recover the money.
 The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Chron- icle telegraphed to his paper on May 10 as follows:
 Princess Louise of Saxe- Coburg was conveyed to a private asylum last night. The Princess, who is a daugh- ter of King Leopold of Bel gium, had clandestinely passed the last few weeks with Lieutenant von Matta- choch-Keglevitch, her lover, at his castle near Agram, Cro- atia- In the meantime her debts grew to millions of flor ins, and bills bearing the al- legged forged signature of the Archduchess Stephanie came into circulation"

THE HERO GONE

The man who commanded Admiral
Deweys flagship, the Olympia, and
led the squadron in its brilliant and
victorious maneuver in Manila Bay,
Captain Charles Y. Gridley, is dead.
The sad news was received Sunday at
Washington, from Kobe, Japan. AS
our readers we'll remember, Captain
Gridley had been ordered home on q
sick leave" It is now suspicioned
that he was injured in some way in the
battle, as he commanded the head Of
the squadron from the coming tower
on the Olympia But whether hurt or
not, he died in the service of his
country, from disease contracted
while performing the severest duty,
died a hero You may begin to fire
now, GridIey, if you are ready" are
the memorable words of Dewey on the
opening Of that far away battle Of vic
tory which Will live in history. Next
to Admiral Dewey himself is due to
Captain Gridley the distinctive glory
Of that epoch-making engagement.
The detailed story of his death Will be
found in our dispatches.

WHAT THE WAR MEANS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
For the past four weeks we have
dreaded to pick up newspaper. be
cause we were anxious with our whole
soul for a prolongation of this war
with Spain. and we truly fear the
headlines Spain Sues for Peace The
key 10 the whole situation was unex-
pectedly presented to the United
States in the battle Of Manila, yet into
what nervous and supine hand did
fate place that key. It renewed our
activities, but Of all places in the
world-in Cuba, Cuba. which is ours
by mere proximity, is attacked and
stormed, and pretty soon General Miles
or somebody VIII land with an army
ard taAe the island.
Just 10 show how little we know
about this matter, we say this: on the
morning that Dewey telcgraphed the
news Of his complete victory at Ma
Mia, Sampson and Schley with their
squadrons should have been ordered
to drop Cuba and Cervera like a hot
potato and 10 put out for Manila. our
first business is to confirm our infiu-
ence in the Philippines. We should
gain an ascendancy there that should
make the United States outrank all
the rest Of the powers put together.
Not one vestige Of Spanish rule should
be left in the islands. Everything
should be American and the wheels Of
government be in active operation.
Simpsons and Sch'eys fleets are
none too large for use in the Pacific.
and should never come out OF there.

to three years to strip Spain Of what
we want and to establish our incontest-
able right to her possessions. There
fore we propose that Sampson and
Schley be called off and that the ut
most pains be taken to let Cervera es-
cape unframed. We should send him
a collier and ammunition and couple

WHAT ABOUT GOLDg

Klondike and the Yukon, South Al
RIGA and Cripple Creek, and all other
gold producing sections and their in
terests have been forgotten, have drop
ped out of sight In the more immediate
interests which cluster around the
movement Of armies and the where
abouts Of battle squadrons. But not
withstanding this failure Of public in
terest in mining enterprises the people
Of the fields named are digging away,
apparently more vigorously than ever,
and the output of gold for 1898 promises
to be phenomenal. The race between
the great gold producing sections
would have commanded unusual at
tention but for the war. The United
States would have been prominent IN
the race against South Africa on the
one hand and Australia upon the other.
In Australia a gain of more than
SO, 000, 900 in the value of gold produced
in the first three months Of 1888, as
compared with the corresponding part
of last year, looks like total yield Of
nearly or quite 100000 600 for the full
year. The rate of increase is progress
i've. and most Of the gain Is in the new
fields of Western Australia, which col
ony has passed all the others and be-
come one of the greatest gold mining
districts in the world. 1t is likely to
furnish from $15,0OO,OOO to $20,OOO,0O0 in
gold this year. although the Western
Australia, mines amounted to very lit
tie three years ago.
The latest reports from South Africa
also showed very large gains in gold
production, and there the total for 1898
is likely to be as large as anything
which Australia can boast. The United
States will not be far behind, at worst,
for some important fields, such as that
of Cripple Creek, are making good
gains. Meanwhile, the most recent
news from the Yukon valley is very
favorable, and it is quite likely that the
yield Of that region this year will be
$40 600, OOO So the prospects are excel
lent for a great advance over any for
mer years production of gold.

ON TO HUTCHINSON.

One Of the greatest political conven-
tons ever held in the state of Kansas
will be that of the Republicans which
assemblies at Hutchinson tomorrow.
Besides being one Of the largest con-
ventions in its number Of delegates
ever held in the state, the more than
ordinarily numerous candidates must
swell the number with their friends
and workers. There are seven candl-
dates for governor alone. There will
be thirty-two candidates, all told, offer
ing for the various positions, every one
of which will be backed by greater
or less number of supporters. 1t is es-
timated that four thousand men viii
be in Hutchinson by tomorrow mid
night Assurances come from that
town that all Will find comfortable
quarters and plenty to eat.
Two hundred people, at least, will go
up from Wichita ready Ito do and to
die" for the man of their choice, who,
if he does not lead on the first ballot,
will not be less than second. The
chances are he will be first, while no
one among the candidates, probably,
commands as great a number of sec
ond choice" delegates. With no I'M
foreseen failures or fascos the enthusi-
astic, earnest and brilliant Stanley
should be named to lead the Republi-
can hosts Of Kansas on to victory in
November All his friends will have
TO do is to stand firm for their man
and prove fair and honorable to all
the other aspirants.
Several papers in the state have
published estimates Of the first ballot
nearly all of which concede Stanley
from 200 to 235 on the first ballot None
put him further back than second in
the race, and these the especial cham
pions Of other men The Eagle has
made up tables of estimates from time
to time by counties, but we have not
published them for the reason that
failure to name some who are for him
Vi III COuuIlllS OlilCiS WIZ l4ii5AL nv
be, would prejudice his cause unneces-
sarily.
OF course the political workers and
directors viii get their finer Italian
hands in seeking to make combinations
in their own interests, but Stanley
stands well with every other candi-
date, not one of whom but likes and
respects him, and not one of whom
viii consent to any questionable deal
TO beat him only because Of an inability
to reach the plum themselves.
The indications are that it will take
longer TO settle the gubernatoriaI nom
ination than the entire balance of the
ticket, for in settling who shall be the
nominee for governor will also settle
a majority of the minor positions. 1t
is not expected at this writing that
the head of the ticket can possibly be
named before Thursday. Still, in polit-
zeal conventions once the inevitable is
seen, delegates close in with the win
ming side in the most expeditions man
ner. That the convention Will not be
in session many hours before seeing
that Stanley is the stronger and the
logical candidate, the Eagle is con-
WINGED.

ABOUT BATTLESHIPS.

The present construction Of battle
ships has been severely criticised by a
naval officer. His advice is always to
have the ships in fighting trim and
fighting color. The many membranes
which must be thrown overheard or
stored below should be entirely aban-
doned. Torpedo equipment is out of
place on a battleship, as they could not
be used efficiently at the long range
at which modern actions Will be fought
Even if there should be an opportunity
it would be extremely dangerous to
open the torpedo ports in the face CT
a hail of shot. Some of the fourteen
boats carried by battleships should be
discarded, and the great number of
heavy cranes reduced. Battleships
should not be crammed full of provis-
ions like cruisers, which must make
long voyages. And all this reduction
of weight should be utilized by building
heavier armor and armament on the
ships. There should be more officers
and men 10 man them. 1t is also be-
leved that in a heavy sea a cruiser
like the Columbia could batter the life
out of a rolling battleship like the
Oregon.
