A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Campaign Work Performed by As
sistant Secretary Davis.

Campaign Work Performed by As
sistant Secretary Davis.
At Seattle, Wash, last night Webster
Davis, assistant secretary Of the interior,
closed remarkable campaign trip deliv-
ering his fiftfeth address, after having
passed through sixteen states and terrific
ries and travelling in the neighborhood of
5000 miles. Mr.. Davis left this city on the
afternoon of September 10 and opened the
state campaign at Detroit, Mich, on the
night of the Goth. From there he went into
Indiana for three dates, and then to Mis-
souri, for three. but the demand in the lat
ter mentioned state was SO great that he
made eight addresses in four days at diff
ferent points, five in Oklahoma in two
days and ten in Kansas in five days. On
Saturday, October 8. he opened the new
Convention Hall at Kansas City, Mo-. with
an audience of 1900, and then went over
to Kansas City, Kan. and spoke to an au-
dience of 5000. From Kansas he went to
Nebraska and made two addresses, three
in South Dakota. three in Wyoming, eight
ington. The reports from his meetings have
been fattering, the newspaper accounts be-
ing usually quite elaborate and sounding
his praises in high terms. One feature
dwelt upon has been that his addresses
never gave offense to even his bitterest DO
ltical opponent. Private advices state that
he is in the best of health, notwthst tandfng
the strain of travelling and speaking.

INDIAN CORN IN GERMANY.
Remarkable Increase in Importa
tons Fron.i a mericn.


Commercial Agent Moore at Weimar re-
ports to the State department that the
past decade has witnessed a phenomenal
growth in the Importation of American In
dian corn into Germany. THE first i'm
ports" he said, took place in the fifties
and were Of slow growth at first, but dur
ing recent years they have been far more
rapidly developed than those of any other
cereal coming through the North sea ports
This rapid increase Is sign of the increase
in German cattle raising, and the depend
ence of German farmers upon foreign cat
tie foods. In 1897 it was perhaps especially
due to the damage caused by rain to the
oat crop
THE principal and almost only source of
corn supply is the United States. Bremen
and Hamburg are the great corn-importing
centers OF Germany. In the 1897 the ar
rivals Of corn at Hamburg We're 6IS, ,S61
tons. valued at 1896, 900; and at Bremen
2i2.954 tons, valued at s., ,S0S 600. The in
crease over 1896 was most remarkable
nearly 80 per cent
Corn is fed to cattle in Germany. Its
use as an article of human food has been
practically unknown. There seems no rea-
son why corn meal should not be as much
used here in bread making and in the prep
aration of other food as in the United
States. There Is field here of vast possi-
billties, and one that would seem to require
but little effort to secure"

From the New York Journal Today.
When Lieutenant Hobson heard yester-

had seen the former Spanish cruiser In

the Bahama group of islands on November

Not Ordered to Samoa.

Inquiry at the Navy Department fails to
confirm the report from San Francisco that
the cruiser Philadelphia has been ordered
to Samoa. 1t is said that no naval vessel
is now under orders for that place. Just
before the war broke out the department
had arranged to send the old cruiser Mohi-
can on a long voyage through lhe East
Indies with apprentices aboard, and it was
in contemplation that on her way home the
ship would run rs far south as Samoa But
this purpose was abandoned at the out
break of the war. and although the train
ing ship Adams is under orders to take a
number of apprentices on I long practice
cruise, she has not so far been ordered to
include the Samoan Islands in her it:n-
erary. .

The Cat Pose.
From the New York Herald.


Every dog has its day; so have some cats.
The latest possession Of the bachelor girl
is cat. Any cat will do, so it's cat and
doesn't scratch; scratchy cats are de-
barred. In a certain sense 1t has taken the
place of the mandolin. Time was when the
mandolin formed q necessary part of the
mise en- scene, and by its help the bachelor
girl could make very effective tableaus of
herself with the wide ribbon around her
neck and her tapering fingers straying over
the wires and occasionally elciting a
plunk-plunk, merely that and nothing
more.
Now, the cat! When the bell rings the
bachelor girl attitudinizes under an over
hanging drapery Of soft falling silk, with
the cat in her arms, and as the door opens
to the caller she looks up with a helplessly
appealing expression.
The proper thing to do under the circum-
stances is to stand for a few minutes over
come with admiration.
The visitor, if masculine, goes away with
fitting visions of a charming home Of his
own where cat plays leading part. If
the visitor is feminine she appreciates also
the possibilities of the cat pose, thinks with
regret of the obstinacy of the baby who
refuses to allow itself to be folded into
plant attitudes, and determines to urge
her husband to exchange the baby for
cat at the first favorable moment.

Arrival of Transport Panama.

NEW YORK, November S.-The United
States transport Panama, from Santiago and
Havana, about whose safety fears were
entertained, creating considerable excite
ment prior to her arrival at Havana, has
arrived in quarantine. There are on board
about 400 persons, including a number Of
sick men.
Captain Hanlon was much surprised to
learn that any uneasness had been felt for
the ships safety. He said that shortly
after leaving Santiago he ordered the ves-
sci cleared up between decks. Numerous
boxes and other material were thrown over
board and drifted toward shore, and this
no doubt gave rise to the report that the
transport had been wrecked.

TO LOOK FOR THE TERESA
Captain NcUalla With the Vulcan to Sail for
the South.
The Wreckine Tag Potomac to BE
Sent From Guantanamo to the Vi
cinity Of Cat Island.

A message received at the Navy Depart
ment from a naval officer In New York
called attention to the report that the
Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa had been
seen OFF Cat Island. The officer expressed
his belief in the accuracy of the report
and suggested to the department that the
repair ship Vulcan. now at Norfolk, be sent
at once to make search for the derelict.
The department acted at once upon the
suggestion. A telegram was sent to the
commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, di-
recting him to place the Vulcan in COM
mand of Captain McCa!la, the captain of
the yard, and send her with all dispatch
to look for the Teresa. A similar order
was cabied to Captain Converse at Guam
tanamo directing him to send the big
wrecking tug Potomac from that place
Eorthward on the same quest. She goes in
charge of Commander J. +. Craven. and
the department believes that she will be in
the vicinity Of Cat Island within thirty
six hours. The Vulcan was one OF the veS-
sells which was towing the Teresa to Nor
folk when she was supposed to nave foun-
dered, and the department believes that
she will reach the scene of the wreck in
about forty-eight hours after leaving Nor
tolk.
Location of Cat Island.
Cat Island lies about thirty miles south
west of the spot where the Teresa was last
seen, and it is said at the department, If
the vessel did not founder outright within
a very few hours, after having been cut
adrift, she would almost certainly have
fetched up on the shoal beach of Cat Is
land, for the wind and tide set directly on
that beach. If so, the location is much
more favorable for saving the ship than
the position occupied by her off Santiago,
where the bottom was covered with rocks
and the wreckers worked at great disad-
vantage. Captain McCalla was selected for
the command of the expedition because of
his great energy and ability for this par
ticular class Of work, and the officers de-
clare that If any man can save the Teresa
and bring her into port he can.
Belief at the Department.
1t is the belief Of the naval constructors
that the Teresa took water aboard almost
altogether through the decks, and not
through the hull. as would appear from
the first accounts of the loss Of the ship
These decks were rude temporary construc-
tons and were entirely unsuitable for
rough weather. The fact that the reports
indicate that the ship settled by the mead
and that water ran into the coal bunkers
and thence into the fire rooms goes to bear
out the constructors tn cory. 1t also tends
to give color to the report that the sh D
may not have foundered at once, but have
drifted ashore on Cat Island. 1t is pre-
sumed that the wrecking company which
had the vessel in hand will take innedi-
ate steps to recover the ship If possible in
order to secure large salvage. which was
almost within their grasp when the ship
was cast of.
