dispatch boats tied to the anchor chains. He gave orders to go south, with the result that several others were reported fastened to the rudder blades. To east and west they were as hopelessly penned in also.
 I got the impression that the dis patch boat was the navy's source of luxury. Alongside the New York I saw the Somers N. Smith lowering bags of potatoes, sacks of provisions, boxes of vegetables, bread, etc, into the New York's small boat for the ward room mess. These supplies had been brought from Key West by request. When the material was brought aboard a chicken with it's legs tied together bore an envelope addressed to Gun ner Morgan. This was a little remem- brance in exchange for some excellent photographs taken by that officer
 Each ship that we boarded had number of errands for us to do in Key West, so we never returned empty handed. One officer would say: Wont you bring my linen from Key West? See, my white ducks look like coal sieves." Another wished us to Inquire for an express package; still another had a craving for some delicacy that the ship could not supply. The cater CT Of the officers mess-one chosen by ballot semi-monthly from among their number-would very frequently accept an offer from the dispatch boats to pur- chase and transport fresh provisions The sailors also had wants to be filed such as cigarettes and reading mat ter. On the whole, the dispatch boats have proved themselves to be very useful additions to the blockading feet. There is hardly dispatch boat that has not lowed at least one prize to Key West. When I left the ship that day, my pockets were bulging with letters and packages to mail; and even when descending the Jacobs lad der, another letter was passed to me from gun sponsor by one of the sail ors stationed there.

RESULTS OF THE WAR.
Hon. WhitcIaw Reid Sees Some InCaI.
 CuIabie Advantages.

Hon. Whitelaw Reid contributes an article to the September Century on The Territory With Which We Are Threatened After arguing as to the individuality of giving up much of the captured or invaded territory, MT. Reid concludes his paper as follows:
 The candid conclusions seem inev- itable that. not as matter of policy, but as a necessity of the position in which we find ourselves and as a mat ter of national duty, we must hold Cuba, at least for time, and till a permanent government is we'll estab lished for which we can afford to be responsible; we must hold Porto Rico; and we may have to hold the Philip pines. The war is a great sorrow, and to many these results of it will seem still more mournfu1. They cannot be contemplated with unmixed confidence by any; and to all who think they must be a source of some grave appre- hensions Plainly, this unwelcome war is leading us by ways we have not trod to an end we cannot surely forecast. On the other hand, there arc some good things coming from it that we can already see. It will make an end forever of Spain in this hemi- sphere. It will certainly secure to Cuba and Porto Rico better govern ment It will furnish an enormous outlet for the energy of our citizens, and give another example of the rapid development to which our system leads.
 It has already brought north and south together as could nothing but foreign war in which both offered their blood for the cause of their reunited country-a result of incalculable ad- vantage both at home and abroad. It has brought England and the United States tOgether-another result of mo- mentous importance in the progress of civilization and Christianity Europe will know us better henceforth even Spain will know us better; and this knowledge should tend powerfully hereafter to keep the peace of the world.
 The war should abate the swagger- ing swashbuckler tendency of many Of our public men, since it has shown our incredible unreadiness at the out set for even meeting third rate pow CT; and 1t will secure us henceforth an army and navy less ridiculously made quate to our exposure. It insures us a mercantile marine. It insures the Nicaragua canal, Pacific cable, great development on OUT Pacific coast, and the mercantile control of the Pacific ocean. It imposes new and very seri- ous business on our public men, which ought to dignify and elevate the public service Finally if has shown cuob splendid courage and skill in the army and navy, such sympathy at ! home fer our men at the front and such devoted eagerness, especially among women, to alleviate suffering and humanize the struggle, as to thrill every patriotic heart, and make us all prouder than ever of our country and it's matchless people.

Favorable reports have been received from all correspondents. the result Of the general rains prevailing through out the territory, and while there IS an impending danger of damage to crops in the mountain regions, by req son of continuous rains, and high wa ter in the rivers and freshets in the creeks in other localities, no material damage has yet been sustained.
 In the valley of the Little Colorado threshing is in full operation, with a good yield. and an extra crop of hay has been secured from the ranges. The peach crop in the Upper Gila valley is reported very large and threshlng is about completed.
 Without the aid of irrigation the land in Navajo county is in prime con- dition for fall blowing, and the pros pect for the later crop of alfalfa is most promising.
 In the Salt River valley a good crop of almonds has been gathered, as re- gards both quality and quantity, and the outlook for the last crop of hay is most favorable.
 The water in the irrigating canals and d1tches has been increased and ythe abundant supply from this source in addition to the generous rainfall should greatly improve the condition If the soil for fail blowing and plant ing.

The Value of a Young Man TO So

world was done by young men; Ruskin
said art was the work of youth. In
every crisis of nations young men have
been at the front. Joshua sent young
men to Jericho. Saul was young;
David became King at 81; Solomon's
fame began at 16: the apostles of John
the Baptist were all young men:
Christ was young. Rome. Athens and
Sparta owed their power and their
ruin to young men.
The speaker followed up his illustra-
lions down to modern times, and then
observed that under the American flag
there were splendid opportunities for
young men. y young American was
what he chose to be. His condition was
not dependent upon birth. With this
independence, however. was stern re-
sponsibility as well. The great moral
ideas of the United States were placed
in the hands of the young men. 1t de-
yolved upon them to bring about the
adaptations of American moral princi-
pies and of the Gospel. In Honolulu
there were many young men in proper
