QUESTION OF DISTANCE.
Remoteness of Some of the Scenes of
 Warlike Action

New York. May 23-Some one who asked the other day how long it would take to send aid from San Francisco to Commodore Dewey at Manila, was sur- prtsed to learn that the fastest ocean liners would do well to make the voy- age in two weeks, and that most ves- gels would require nearer three weeks for the trip. In view of the lack of exact knowledge as to the distances between the various geographical points now prominent in the war news, a brief statement regarding the most important of them may be use full.
 Fraom San Francisco to Manila the distance is in round numbers about $500 miles, CT nearly 500 miles more than twice the distance between New York and Liverpool. It is 2,080 miles from San Francisco to Hawaii, and about 4,900 miles from Hawaii to Ma nila, so that if the vessel touched al Hawaii on her way across the Pacific to Manila she would leave the direct course slightly, and increase her voy- age to about 1000 miles From Hong Kong to Manila Commodore Dewey's ships had a trip of 600 miles to make almost directly southeast.
 The distances between variou: points on the Atlantic ocean have also been discussed, in reference to the probable movements of the Spanish

fleets. From Cadiz, the chief home rendezvous of the Spanish navy, to the Canary islands Is 700 miles; from Ca- dig to the Cape Verde islands about twice as far, or nearly 1,500 miles. The distance between Cadiz and New York is nearly 3,200 miles, and the Canary and Cape Verde islands, each group about the same distance from this city, are more than 200 miles nearer to us than Cadiz. From Cadiz to Rio Janerio is over 4,000 miles; from New York to Rio, $500 The distance be- tween New York and Porto Rico is 1,430 miles and this is one the direct route to Rio, so that if the Oregon's course was from Rio to Porto Rico, she had, on leaving Rio, about 4,470 miles to travel in order to make the
 island From New York to Havana it is 1,230 miles; from Key West to Havana it is 70 miles.
 The difference in time between the centers of war news is a point which
 must be observed in order te form correct idea of the reports regarding the work of distant forces. Manila is nearly the antipodes of New York, be- ing situated on the 120th meridian east
 of Greenwich, as New York is on the i 74th west. The difference in time be- 1 tween the two places is thirteen hours, l or, in other words, Manila clocks are i thirteen hours ahead of those here. ! The battle of Manila bay, which be- 1 gan at o'clock on Sunday morning, May 1, according to the dispatches, was thus being fought on Saturday 1 afternoon by New York time, begin
 ming at about o'clock. In London the 1 hour was o'clock in the evening, and at Madrid, where the actual time Is fourteen or fifteen minutes behind that i of Greenwich, it was 8:45 D. m. If
 the report of the battle had been trans
 mitted promptly to this city, there
 would thus have been another example
 Of the familiar but peculiar experience i of getting news of an event on the
 day before that event took place. But
 owing to the delay caused because the
 message went through Spanish chan
 nels no report reached New York un- 1 til Sunday night.
 The actual or local time at Havana
 is about half an hour behind that of
 New York; that of Rio Janeiro is two
 hours ahead of New York. At the Hawaiian islands, situated on and
 about the 155th meridian, west lOngi- tude, the time is about five hours and
 a half behind or earlier than the time here, SO that at noon in this city it is 6:30 a. m. 2t Honolulu.

YOUNG BUTLER GOT A PLACE.
He Gets Into the Naval Service De
 spite Paternal Discouragement.

Washington, May 23.-The manner in which the young son of Represen- tative Butler of Pennsylvania secured place in .ne service of his country affords delightful contrast to that by which numerous sons of their fathers found their way. The young ster is IS years old. His first desire was to get into West Point or Annapo- lis as a cadet and he asked his father for an appointment. This his father refused to give, and he also refused to make application in his favor for appointment to staff duty, which seems to be so popular.
 Nothing daunted by these rebuffs the young fenow, learning that twenty additional lieutenants of marines were to be appointed entered himself for ex- animation for one of the places. There were 300 applications, and young But Ter came out of the examination at the head of the list He was instructed to report to the barracks in this city for duty, and it is supposed will be commissioned promptly.

JEERS FOR AMERICAN TARS. Unfriendly Welcomes Given to the Marietta at South American Forts.

Pittsburg, May 23.-Charles M. Kel- ly of McKeesport, an apothecary on the gunboat Marietta, which came north with the battleship Oregon, has sent letter to his father from Rio de Janerio telling of the bitter anti-Amer- ican feeling shown by the people of the South American republics. He says the boat has had a tough time of it since she left the Pacific coast. At every South American port they touched the American sailors were re- ceived with derisive jeers. They were invariably treated discourtesly and called Yankee dogs" Kelly says the men are very anxious to get to Ameri can waters and into the fray

BISMARCK AND THE EMPEROR.
Alleged Text of the Chancellor's Letter
 of Resignation.

Berlin, July 31.-The Lokal Anzeiger publishes long article on Bismarck by Dr. Meritz Busch. It gives an alleged copy of the original text of Bismarck S letter to Emperor William on leaving office in 1890, which iti understood was only to be published after his death. In this document Bismarck is repre- sented as saying: "It is not possible for me to retain the position of president of the council of ministers after your majesty, in respect of the same, has urged a capitis diminutio, relying upon an abrogation of the order of 1852 which regulates the relations of a minister president to his colleagues.
 Moreover, in regard to my official prerogatives, your majesty has imposed limits which do not permit me to have a proportionate share in state business and it's supervision, or that freedom of action in ministerial decisions or con- munication with the reichstag or mem bers of the reichsag which my consti- tutional responsibility requires. It would also-after the latest decisions of your majesty respecting the direc- tion to be given our foreign policy Gas set forth in the imperial letter)-be im- possible for me to carry out the in structions therein given l would thus call in question all the important re- suits for the German empire which our foreign policy has attained under fla vorable conditions for a decade past, on lines laid down by both your majes- tvs predecessors in our relations to- ward -, the unexpectedly great im- portance' of which - has, since his return from -, confirmed to me.
 Tn view of my attachment to the service of your majesty's royal house and the many years during which have grown habituated to position which I have hitherto regarded as an enduring one, is Is very painful to me to sever myself from my accustomed relations to your majesty and from the general policy of the empire and Prus- sia, but after conscientious considera- ton of your majesty's intentions 1 can not do otherwise than beg your majesty to relieve me of the office of imperial chancellor, premier and minister of foreign affairs.
 According to the impressions I have received during the last few weeks as well as communications from your ma jesty's military and civil household, may assume that my request to resign is with your majesty's wishes and that I may, therefore, certainly rely upon it's gracious acceptance. would have rendered my resignation to your majesty long ago if I had not thought that your majesty wished to utilize the experiences of true servant of your predecessors. Since I have become cer- tain that your majesty does not care to avail himself of them, I withdraw from political life, without any appre- hension that public opinion will con- demn my decision as untimely."
