DEWEY AS A DlSCIPLlNARlAN,
His Method of subduing Some Refractory
Sailors.

81 was with Commodore Dewey when
he was the executive officer of the Colo
RADIO, said financier, and l remem-
Der one incident which shows the man
ner of man he is We had fine crew,
some Of them as powerful men as ever
saw. Four or five of them went ashore
one day and came back fighting drunk.
"Three Of them were men who would
singly have been more than match in
strength for John L. Sullivan. The or
der was given to put them in irons, and
it was found impossible TO carry out the
order, for the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified Of the situation. He
was writing a letter in his room at the
time.
He went to the place where these
giants were and he told them TO come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to an
orderly, Bring me my revolvers, and
when he had his pistols he again called
upon the men 60 come out, but they did
not move. Then he said, L am going TO
count three If you are not out here
with your hands held up on the third
count, you won't come out of that place
alive
He counted one, then he cooked the
revolvers, and he counted two We all
expected TO hear the report, for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said. The
men knew it too. They stepped out just
in time to save their lives and held up
their hands, and they had been partial
ly sobered by their fright and the moral
effect of Dewey's glance.
lone of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be- dead Jackie
in moment or he would have to yield,
and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was in his
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter he was writing. -

vADERLIP MAKES A STATEMENT.
Some Interesting Facts and Figures Re
gardins the subscriptions.

At 10 o'clock last night the assistant
secretary said:
1T is of course impossible TO give
final figures al this hour. The depart
ment received today just under $1,000
letters, and yesterday "A 300. This mass
of applications must he put through the
detailed operation before total can be
arrived at and the exact line at which
aIlotments will be made announced My
estimate at this hour is that il will be
around $4,000; that is to say that all
applications for smaller amount than
that figure will be allotted i'm full. while
all applications for larger amounts will
receive nothing. At this hour there
has actually been listed sS4 300 900 of the
$500 and smaller subscriptions, and the
amount now on the tables will carry
that probably just tbove $50. 900 900.
THE amount scheduled and totalled
in the subscriptions larger than $500 is
at this hour $500. go $40, and | estimate
that IL will reach $735 900 600. Thus the
total subscription, including the $780,
600, coo of syndicate bids, will reach ST.
325, 900 900. We have held out cases
where there were doubts as to the bona
nOe character OF the SuDSCrlDtlOnS,
amounting in the subscriptions for $500
and under alone to $40 494, ,74O The total
number of subscriptions for $500 and
under that has now passed the stamp
ers is 22S,000 and that figure will be
somewhat further increased
THE total of larger subscriptions
numbered is 65,SO0 and there are still
several thousand Of these larger sub
scriptions to be listed. In the last
nineteen days the department received
800 subscriptions an average Of 49,
262 a day The last letter was opened
within two hours after the subscription
closed"
When the loan closed. at p. m, yes
terday the department was prepared to
return the checks Of unsuccessful bid
ders in those cases where the assistant
