A change had been coming over
my companion during the recital OF the
foregoing. He had been passive: he
became more and more restless and ex-
cited, until at the last words he clasp
ed his hands above his head, cast 40
appealing glance at the roof OF the car,
and then, with a look of irrepressible
anguish, infinite despair, he buried his
face in his hands and sobbed-sobbed-

It is q story recalled apropos of the
fact that President Mckinley is show

treatment of Spanish-Cuban complica-

by Mr.. Cleveland-surprisiD as this
attitude has been to many ublican
The story was told years ago by Mr..
Dixoo, of Rhode Island, Republican
congressman OF prominence in war
days 1t was when the war was still
only half over and many people at the
North felt that more vigorous policy
was demanded. There had been q
meeting of prominent Northern men,
including governors of NOrthe IN states.
They passed resolutions that the cam
paign should be more aggressive, and
commissioned Mr.. Dixon to call on Mr.
Lincoln. tell him of the meeting and
read to him q record of it's conclusions.
Mr.. Dixon said that he undertook the
task with a good deal of satisfaction,
and felt like q very large-sized man
when he went up to the white house
one evening to deliver himself of his
mission.
MIR. Lincoln listened without Interrupt

silence which added not lit le to tie
impressiveness of the latter's eloquepce
When Mr.. Dixon was through, Mr..
Lincoln said to him: "Dixon, you are

The Sacred Fires of IL dia,

The sacred fires of India have not all
been extipguished. The most ancient,
which still exists, was consecrated
twelve centuries ago in commemora-
ton OF the voyage made by the Par
sees when they emigrated from Persia
to India. The fire is fed five times
every twenty-four hours with sandal-
wood and other fragrant materials,
combined with very dry fuel. This
fire in the village of Oodwada, near
Bulsar, is visited by Parsees in large
numbers during the months allotted
to the presiding genius Of fire.

me, and told about his trip. He was
having fine time, he said, and WAS

more if he lost that, and as for his life,
why, who cared? She had driven him
to this prolonged suicide, for only one
result was probable. Yes, he would
take q man with him next time, but
only for company and to make the
work easier, not for safety.

GERMANY'S SCHEME.
Wants a Philippine Island That Con-
tains Coal Deposits.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: AS an
Indication that Germany has been
scheming to share in the disposition of
! the Philippines, the authorities have
learned that, acting under instructions
from Berlin, the German commander
in-chief of the Asiatic station has made
an exhaustive investigation of the
mineral deposits of the island. He was
assisted by a German engineer, who
had been temporarily assigned to his
squadron for the special purpose of To-
eating coal. The engineer conducted a
thorough investigation, and his report,
which has been submitted to the Ber-
lin government, through Vice Admiral
Won Diedrich, shows that the best lig
mite deposits are located on the island
of Cebu, one of the Vizcaya group.
This information has been received
from one of the representatives of this
government in Germany, and has been
considered of sufficient Importance to
be presented to the peace commission
ers for their consideration. Officials
who were interviewed regarding the
matter admit that there can be only
one object which would lead the Ber-
lin government to direct such an inves-
tigation-the desire to extend German
Jurisdiction over the island which has
the largest beds of coal best adapted
for steaming purposes. Such an island
is Cebu, reports of which have been re-
ceived showing that Ignite of good
quality is found there in large guam
titles. Germany would find Cebu ex-
ceedingly valuable as a coaling station,
and IL would not necessitate the estab-
liShment of a coal pile at Kiao-Chou,
which she recently obtained.
Aware of Germany's proceedings, the
authorities are taking precautions to
prevent the consummation of any plan
which will enable them to reach fru-
ition. The Berlin government, by the
reduction of its fleet in Manila bay,
gave an indication Of its desire to re-
main on good terms with this govern
ment. While regretting the mainten-
ance of such a large force at Manila,
no protest was made by this govern
ment, and the action of Germany in
reducing its naval force was entirely
voluntary.
1t is no longer a secret that Germany
is the only nation from which the gov
ernment apprehends trouble in the set
tlement of the Philippine question, and
it is to avert the commitment of an
overt act that the president deter
mined to so strengthen Rear Admiral
Dewey's command as to make it
superior to the German fleet in Asiatic
waters.
The battleships Oregon and Iowa
will start for Manila, via Cape Horn
and Honolulu, next Saturday or Sun
day, by which time it is expected all
repairs will have been made and the
fleet of Golfers will be in readiness
Leaves of absence have been given to
the officers until the latter part of the
week, but no extensions will be given.

at Harvey's canal, above New Orleans,
on the opposite side of the river. No

Great diligence is exhibited in initiating

By this means they keep practically in

Commissioner Kasson is the only

Battleships Well Equipped For Their
Voyage to Manila

Washington, Sept. 19.-The advance
guard of the naval expedition for Homo
lulu and eventually for Manila, started
yesterday when the Abarenda sailed
from Fortress Monroe via Brazil. The
Abarenda is a collier, one of four which
are to keep the big battleships Oregon

long voyage around South America.
The plan is to have two of the colliers
precede the battleships and two to go
along with them.
In addition to these escorting craft
Acting Secretary Allen today ordered
that the Celtic and Iris be added to
the expedition. The Celtic is a refriger-
ator and supply ship and the Iris is
distilling ship. Their capacity is enor-
nous and Mr. Allen said that no such
perfectly equipped naval expedition
ever sailed under any flag. With their
large reserve supply of coal; with an
abundance of refrigerated fresh meats
and vegetables; with appliances and
plant for making repairs to machinery
and finally with an abundance OF fresh
water the squadron viii be able to
keep the seas for an indefinite period
Of time.
