Richmond P. Hobson, the hero of
Santiago, is tall, probably over six
feet has a fire penetrating blue eye,
and is rather striking in appearance.
He writes with great power; his
phraseology is perhaps a little more
turgid than it will be when he grows
older, but it is remarkably forceful and
indicates great power OF thought.
Like most geniuses, Hobson is re-
garded as peculiar Men who were at
the naval academy while he was there
say his classmates at first attempted
to make life miserable for the quiet,
studious boy, but found that he could
resent their actions in a way that
made them desist before he had been
in the academy very long He was
only Is years old when he went to
Annapolis, and his most marked char
acteristic was his use of words seldom
in the vocabulary of youngster of
his age. One Of his classmates said
that Hobson was hazed a great deal
in his "plebe' year, and many dig
nified officer had the honor of stand
ing him on his head and making him
do all sorts Of ridiculous things in the
hazing curriculum. One day Hobson
resented the annoyance to which he
was subjected by older cadets in these
words: Il do not desire and neither
will l tolerate, any more Of your
scurrilous contumely" At another
time Hobson was fishing from the end
Of the old Santee wharf, and a passing
classmate asked him what he was do
ing. Merely indulging in piscatoriaI
pursuits" said the future hero of the
Merrimac exploit. Under the law,
any officer Of the navy is entitled to
be advanced one grade if he receives
the thanks Of congress, and by and
with the consent Of the senate can be
promoted thirty numbers in rank for
eminent and conspicuous conduct in
battle or extraordinary heroism Hob
on will therefore, doubtless, be well
AIKEN care Of, but we hope that the
brave men who volunteered to accom-
1any him and who fully shared the
anne dangers will not be neglected
7bay are no less deserving Of reward

The proposed mammoth geographic

Paris exposition of 1900, according
to the plan at present contemplated,
will be not less than $50 meters in

duke of York is to resume active
naval duties as commander of H.
NJ. S. Crescent, a frst-class cruiser.
He entered the navy at the age Of
twelve, and in 1890, was commander
of the gunboat Thrush, cruised in
the waters now made picturesque by
SIMPSONS fleet. The Cres-
cent may carry him to the waters,

Washington, D. c., June THE
senate passed the bill for the protec-
ticn of the Indians after striking out
the section which provides for the
segregation of the $1,000 acres pur-
chased by the Delawares from the
Cherokees. Many amendments were
adopted, and the treaty with the
Choctaws and Chickasaws was con-
firmed. The conference report on the
postof1ce appropriation bill was pre-
scented and agreed to. By this report
an appropriation of $3.50, 900 is made
for experimental rural mail delivery
Senators and members are to have
the franking privilege for all mail
matter, not exceeding two ounces in
weight, on official or department bust
ness. A commission is provided for
consisting of the two chairmen of the
postoffce committees of the senate
and house, three senators, and three
members of the house, to investigate
the question whether excessive prices
are paid to the railroad companies
for the transportation Of the mails
service; all sources of revenue, and
all expenditures for the postal SER
vice, and rates Of postage.
Washington, June by order of
the militar. committee, Mr.. Griffin
Of Wisconsin called up in the house
from the speakers table the bill
which passed the senate, providing
that during the existing war the pres
ident may, in his discretion, waive the
one-year suspension from promotion
and forthwith order the re-examina-
ton provided in certain cases by the
third proviso of section of the act
approved Oct. l, 1890, entitled "An act

tain officers Of the army, and to reg
ulate promotions therein" The bin
was passed. The house took up the
bill to enable volunteer soldiers in
the field to vote for representatives in
congress at the next election as if
they had remained at home. Mr..
Lacey stated briefly the purpose Of the
bill. The power to pass the bill, he
said, was found in the constitutional
provision giving congress the right to
alter, amend, or repeal state laws
governing the time. manner, and place
Of holding elections for representa-
tives IN congress

Washington, June 8.-The bill pro-
viding for the taking of the twelfth
census was passed by the senate after
occupying the greater part of three
days. Under it, if it should become a
law, director of census, an assistant
director and five expert statisticians
will be appointed Immediately to
make the preliminary arrangements
for the taking of the census Of 1900. A
determined effort was made to provide
that employees of the census bureau
should be examined and certified to by
the civil service commission, but it
failed by a vote of Is to 81. A provi-
sion was inserted that not more than
two-thlrds Of the supervisors and
enumerators should belong to one po-
litical party. Secretary of State Henry
Casson Of Wisconsin is one of the
leading candidates for appointment to
the position of director of census.
Washington june 6.-The house
disposed of the senate amendments
ito the sundry civil bill and agreed to
a further conference. The conference
report upon the postofice appropria-
ton bill was adopted without debate
and the house proceeded to consider
the bill to provide for the participa-
ton Of the volunteer soldiers in con-
gressional elections.

his mind-that while it was true that
two years ago when ingBogota he be-
ieged that the passage of the free silver
bill would be the greatest curse that could
befal free people and that no party had
ever before nominated man of so small
calibre as Bryan, now after reading
"Honest SAM Lords letter of accen.
lance and Mr.. Barton's exposition of the
Chicago platform, he has come to the
conclusion that frse silver is not the
greatest curse that can befal a free peo-
pie, that There may be other curses
which would BIS greater; and after tho
roughly examining the list of men that
had been nominated for the Presidency
he is ready to concede tn at there have
been men nominated of smaller calibre
than Mr.. Bryan.
vi course this explanation is not entire
~ free from objection. 1t may not be
satisfying to the enthusiasts who hold
that free silver is the greatest blessing
chat could befal this country, and to the
admirers of the boy orator who look upon
him as one of the. greatest, if not the
greatest statesman that America has
produced, but it is about as far toward
turning somersault as Mr.. McKenney
can discreetlyssgo in view of the probabili-
ty thai after the campaign is over he

Congressman Dingley has no opinion in
regard to the final disposition of the
Philippines-none at least which he is
willing to express. Like good many
other people he is evidently hoping that
this perplexing question will in some
way settle itself. Mr.. Dingley does not
believe that European powers will at
tempt to interfere with any disposition
that we saw fit to make of them. Per-
haps not. And yet if any European pow
er should seize an island within our
sphere of influence we should be likely
TO say something in regard to the final
disposition of it. AS the European pow
ers looks upon the Philippines as within
their sphere of influence, isn't it reason
able to conclude that they may want to
have some voice in the final disposition
Of them?

The advance guard of the Porto Rico
expedition under Gen. Miles probably
landed at some point on the southern
coast yesterday. 1t will be several days
probably before ali the troops arrive
and are landed. The troops number in
all about $4,000 men, considerably more
than Gen. Shafter took to Santiago,
though the difficulties there were greater
than any likely to be met with in Porto
Rico. Gen. Miles's operations may be
delayed somewhat by bad weather, for
this is the rainy season. during which
the island is frequently flooded and the
roads rendered impossible, but with
favorable weather he ought to be able to
capture San Juan and the Spanish army
stationed there within a week or two
Just how large that army is is uncertain,
but Gen. Miles's will probably outnum-
Der 1t more than two to one. The city is
well defended on the sea side, as Admiral
Sampson found some weeks ago, but on
the land side it is probably weak. Though
like Cuba. ruled by Spaniards, rebellion
in the island has been rare, the people
apparently being fairly we'll contented
with their lot. 1t is said, however, that
the intelligent classes would welcome
annexation to the United States.
