NOT WILLING TO COME HOME.
Admiral Dewey's Work Is AS Yet Incom-
pIete and He Refuses to Leave Ma
Mia for Any Reason.

Washington, Dec. 30. - Admiral
Dewey cabled to the navy department
asking when he might expect the
Buffalo to arrive at Manila and re-
luesting that she might be hurried as
much as possible. The Buffalo is car
rying 500 men to the Asiatic squadron
to take the places of those whose
terms of service have expired and who
are now exceedingly anxious to re-
turn to the United States. The ad-
miral has notified the navy depart
ment that conditions in the Philip
pines have so materially improved that
he will send few officers and men to
San Francisco on the next army trans
port which leaves Manila. He is not
yet willing, however, to recommend
any reduction of the feet and, notwith-
standing reports to the contrary, he
has never intimated any desire to come
home himself, but, in fact, refused to
take advantage of the permission ex-
tended to him of temporarily leaving
the east and visiting Paris when the
peace commission was there.

Washingt on, Dec, 27.-The navy de-
partment is going to be prepared for
any emergency that may hereafter
arise in the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans by carrying on hand enormous
stocks of nearly 5000 tons OF
the best steaming coal for warships
that can be secured. This supply
of the most important of all sinews of
modern war is to be systematically
distributed in American ports most
conveniently located for the coaling

Washington, Dec. 80 Justin S. Nor

from Vermont, died at 1:20 o'clock this
morning in the eighty-ninth year of
his age, after an illness of less than IA
week. The senator never recovered
from the unconscious state into which
he lapsed early in the day and his
death was calm and peaceful. The
immediate cause of death was pneu-

tack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined to his home but seven days. De-

UPROAR IN HAVANA.
A Mob of Rioters Fire Upon the
American Troops.
OUR SOLDIERS DISPERSE The MOB.
One spanish Marine Killed and Three
Cubans Fatally Injured-Gen. Brooke
Takes Command of the Ameri-
can Forces In Cuba.

Havana, Dec. %. The whole city is
in an uproar and serious rioting is
threatened. A detail of company M,
Tenth regular United States infantry,
while quelling riot which broke out
on Bombay street at six o'clock yester-
day evening, was fred on. The regu-
lars returned the fire and sent volley
after volley into the crowd of rioters
as they fed out of the street. Three
Spanish sailors were wounded and a
Spanish marine was killed by the
Americans. A number of other per-
sons, whose names could not be Sc
cured, were also wounded in the melee,
which caused the Interference of the
American troops. Three Cubans were
fatally injured. Several Spaniards
who were carried away by friends
were wounded, but it is not known
how seriously. None Of the American
soldiers were wounded.
In the small riots that occu FRED in
various parts of the city yesterday IL
persons were wounded, several fatally.

company to pull down u Cuban flag

the front of the buildings with bull
let's. The soldiers who attempted to
take down the flags fell on the steps
of house, bleeding from wounds in
the head and shoulder. The Spanish
soldiers withdrew, carrying their in
jured comrades. Residents of San
Lazaro say the withdrawal of the
Spaniards was due to the appearance
of an American officer, who persuaded
the Spaniards to retire.
The town last night was practically
in the hands of the Americans. The
Spaniards last night were supposed
To still hold possession of the strip of
ground between the Prado and the
port. but their soldiers have been with
drawn to within few blocks of the
port. Three companies of the Teuth
regular infantry, who were hurried
into town yesterday afternoon, were
on guard in the streets last night IL

ment will have to be brought in, to-

only two miles away in anticipation of
such an emergency as exists.
Maj. Gen. Brooke has formally taken
command of the United States forces
in Cuba and has issued the necessary
orders.

FOR HOBSoN'S OWN GOOD.
lie was To Rescue the Young Naval Hero
from the Kissing Craze That the Gov
eminent Sent Him to Hong Kong.

Washington, Dec. 81. With feel
ing of relief the officials of the navy
department heard that Hobson had
actually sailed from San Francisco.
Now that the thing is over, it may be
stated that his superiors arranged the
detail of the hero of the Merrimac to
go to Hong Kong for his own good
more than from the needs of the serv-
ice. Nothing is the matter with the
gallant young officer which will not
be remedied by a long, quiet voyage
and an assignment under strong
commander like Admiral Dewey for a
few months. Had he remained in this
country under the high pressure there
is no telling what the consequences
might have been.
Hobson, before he came into the
public eye so nspicuously, was a re.
firing, Woodworking man. After the
terrible strain of his experience In
trying to blockade the mouth of Santi-
ago bay he was allowed to apply him.

CLAIM 1T IS ILLEGAL.
Republicans In Kansas Looking Up "a Law
They Say win NunIfy the Present
Extra Session.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 81. -Thes fact
that Gov. Leedy did not declare in his
message that an emergency existed
sufficient to require the calling of the
legislature in special session has
raised question whether every act of
this session cannot be absolutely
nullified by the supreme court Repub-
lican lawyers and members of the
legislature are at work in the
state library hunting decisions
on the question whether the SUI
preme court can review the act OF
the governor of the state. 1t has
never been attempted in Kansas. 1t is
claimed that in Ohio and nine other
states decisions have been given to the
effect that the governors act is subject
to review by the supreme court, and
precedent exists for declaring that he
is not the final judge of whether an
emergency exists.

self without restraint to the work OF
saving one of the Spanish warships.
Ever since last June the strain
has been maintained and to 1t has
been added the disturbing influ-
encs of popular adulaton OF an
overwhelming kind. Hobson's supe-
riors at the department have been OBJ
serving with apprehension the effect
of the strain and of the adulation.
They realized that for his own safety
something must be done. And hence
the duty in Hong Kong was planned.

COST OF THE WAR.
The Sum Expended to Trounce the Span
iards VIII Probably Amount to
S26O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Dec. 2S-The cost of
the Spanish war, including garrisons
in the dependencies during the re.
mainder of the present fiscal year, will
probably fall within the limit OF $780,
900, 900. This was about the amount
estimated by careful observers at the
time of the signing of the peace proto-
col in August and the estimate has
been sustained by subsequent events.
The signing OF the protocol was far
from putting an end to expenditures
and the net cost of the military
and naval service, above the cost
on a peace basis, was actually larger
in September than in August. The
figures for later months have shown a
gradual decline of several millions per
month and it now looks as though
existing revenue laws would pay most
of the expense for garrisons until the
close of the fiscal year on June 80 next.
Stated in round figures, the combined
cost of the army and navy service
above the cost in 1897, when both serv-
ices were upon peace basis was Sl9,-
900, 900 in May, $23, 900, 900 in June,
$40 900, 900 in July, $50, 900, 900 in Au-
gust S25, 900, 900 in September, $50, O0O,-
900 in October and 81, 900, 900 in Novem-
Der. The cost thus far during Deem
Der has been about S13, 900, 900, but a
million or two more will be added by
the close of the month. These ex-
penditures are not entirely for the
maintenance of troops now in the
field, but involve the settlement of
contracts entered upon in the spring,
the manufacture of arms and supplies
at the armories, which is still going
on at higher rate than before the
war, and the payment of troops who
have been mustered out OF service.

for the advancement of her sex as any
other woman in the country. In the
first place she forced the sanctum door,
which before her time had been stoutly
barred against women. Next she estab-
lished the woman's column in the daily
paper and has seen it grow to the wom-
ans page and even to the woman S
magazine
She has also been called 1.-THE mother
of women's clubs. - It was in the par
Iors of her home that Sorosis was organ
lied, and for 10 years she was president
of that original woman's club after
which so many subsequent organizations
have been patterned. 1t was at Mrs.
Croly's home, too, that the New York
Woman Press club was formed, and of
this she was for a number of years the
chief executive.
Jennie June Croly was born in Eng
land, but came to America when but
child. At Is she began earning her own
living by teaching a country school in
New York state. Her husband, David
G. Croly, whom she married in 1857,
was widely known newspaper man.
For over 40 years she has been putting
her signature to articles on topics of in
terest to women until the name of Jen-
ME June has become household word
all over the country. She was the orig
inator Of the syndicate letter, d business
which has grown into immense proper
tions. Early in her career she became
editor of a we'll known fashion pubIica-
ton, and although she has held many
other positions and done a vast amount
of other work she still retains this con-
nectiOn.
Mrs. Croly has now reached the ripe
age Of sc, but she is just as active in
club work and journalism as ever. In
personal appearance she does not seem
to fade and looks almost as youthful as
her name sounds. She has saved a COM
Portable fortune out of the money which
she has earned with her pen and can re-
tire gracefully from the arena whenever
she wants to.

who takes big contracts and has built
up a reputation. Perhaps she would
never have taken it up had it not been
for the fact that her husband, who was
a recognized authority on the work, died
some six years ago, leaving his business
in her hands. During his long sickness,
which lasted for nearly four years, his
wife helped him draw his plans and
write out his lists of shrubs and plants
as we'll as took hand in superintend-
ing his workmen while they prepared
the soil and did the grading and plant
ing.
In this way she unconsciously mas
tered all the details of the business, and
when it came to carrying through the
work which was in progress when he
died she found herself fully equal to
the task. Then she concluded that she
could manage the business herself. Just
then she heard of big contract which
was to be'given out. aud without wait
ing to become frightened at the pros
pect of the large responsibilities which
it would bring she secured it, although

then she has had all the work she has
been able to attend to. Not long ago she
finished arranging the grounds of an in
sane hospital at Newberry, Mich, and
those of the Soldiers home at Grand
Rapids. She has also done considera BILE
work in the city parks of st. Paul and
Milwaukee.
Mrs. Mcclure is enthusiastic about
her work and thinks that landscape gar
dening should be taught to girl pupils
in the public schools. She believes that
young women would find it a much
healthier and more profitable occupation
than typewriting or clerking.

AN ECHO OF THE BOOM.
Judge Hazen's Opinion in the Capital
Investment Company's Cases.

Judge Hazen has decided several pre-
liminary motions in the cases against the
stockholders of the Capital Investment
company one of the boom companies. w.
Martin Jones. who lives in the east, was
a creditor of the corporation to the amount
of $1O,5OO and he is trying to collect his
debt from the stockholders. The motions
were to strike out portions of the an
swers. Judge Hazen made one ruling
which is considered important by attor-
neys. That is that the statute of lirni-
tations runs in favor of stockholders only
after an execution against the corporation
has been issued and returned unsatished,
or four years after the corporation ceases
to do business.
Among the defendants in the cases are
President c. c. Baker of the Topeka City
railway and Willis Edison.

REv. G. D. OLDEN WINS.
Judge Hazen Decides for the Pastor
and Advises the Church to Stop
the Racket

Rev. 9. D. Olden won his fight with
the elders of the Second Baptist church
who were expelled by him Judge Ha-
zen today decided that Dennis Hope,
G. w. Frazier and the other prescribed
elders and members could not compel
Mr.. Olden to reinstate them. This sus-
tains the contention of David Overmy
er and w. r. HaZen.
Judge Hazen said in making the de-
cisiOn:
This is case that never should
have been brought in court. This church
has been in court either in civil or
criminal actions ever since I have been
upon the bench. But nevertheless I
have been called upon to decide this
case, which is a suit in mandamus.
1.-The question is, what code of pro-
ceedure shOOuld control the conduct of
the members2 Expert Baptists were
called as witnesses to show what is
proper procedure. It seems that this
organization derives most of it's author
ity from the Bible. The only question
is whether the court can restore these
men to membership in the church, and
am of the opinion that the court
ought not interfere.
IF these people expect to do any
good either to themselves or society
they had better get together and stop
this racket"
This leaves Mr.. Olden in undisputed
possession of the field.
