The Times this morning in special arti-
Gle reviewing the operations of the His
pano-American war, says: 1.-The fact that
the war was brought to such a speedy
end is due primarily to the single cause of
Spain's naval collapse. The vigor shown
by the American naval authorities and the
high quality of the naval officers-qualities
inherited from the mother countryside
feed to-counteraet the effects of America s
unreadiness. The manner in which a
large number of war ships and auxiliary
vessels were rapidly equipped ana manned
together with the conspicuous ability with
which the great naval force. largely ex-
temporized was supplied and handled, is
extremely significant.
1T is impossible to speak in the same
terms of the military measures The causes
of the failure of the War Department to
rise to the emergency are not yet fully
known. 1t will be interesting to see
whether the American people will demand
an investigation. Before Santiago, as be-
fore Sebastopol. in the Crimean campaign,

one that the most severely practical person
must respect. Cremation has obtained very
little recognition in country places where
God s-acre. secluded and tenderly watched
over, seems the most fitting resting place
of the departed. Should it in time take the
place of burial the movements must be
from the cities outward. 1t must be in re-
spouse to necessity, for when necessity de-
clares itself judgment approves and preju-
dice yields. We have hardly reached a point
where any law or ordinance governing the
situation would be justifable. Compusion
would outrage sensbilites which in this as
ISOLATION are little less than sacred and
shock feelings which have become rock
rooted through centuries of Inheritance. 1t
will be many years before cremation among
us will be fully accepted as a substitute for
burial. AS en- alternative it is quite likely
to grow slowly but steadily in favor.

that France. Germany and Austria, as being

Quite radical step has been~taken by the
Indiana State Board OF Health in its recon-
mendation of cremation as a substitute tor
burial, on the ground that the earth is not
disinfectant, and many malignant dis
eases can be traced TO the present usual
method of disposing of our dead Cremation
has been practiced long enough to measur-
ably familiarize the public with its pro-
cesses. and its methods have been brought
so far toward perfection that any revolving
features witch might have attended the
days of experimentation have now been
overcome. Fire is the great purifier, and

ent camp.
James Nelson, a musician of Company G.,
of Brownstown, was injured about the head
this morning while wrestling with a COM
panion He struck the back of his head on
a rock and far a while it was thought the
injury would be fatal. Later in the day his
condition was improved. The One-hundred-
and-fifty ninth had 172 on the sick list yes
terday, ninety-six of them being in the hos
pital. Most of the cases are typhoid fever,
with more cases developing each day. The

THE DOVER MYSTERY.
No Further Light on the Poisoning of
the Two Women.

DOVER, Del. Aug. H.-Nothing has
been developed here to throw any light
upon the deaths of Mrs. Deane and Mrs.
Dunning daughters of ex-Congressman
Pennington, who were poisoned by eating
candy received in a package sent through
the mails from San Francisco by some I'M
known person. The fate of the two women
has excited widespread interest and aroused
the deepest commiseration of the family of
the victims. The funeral will take place to-
morrow. A cabegram has been received
from j. P. Dunning, husband of one of the
victims, who is in Porto Rico stating that
he would arrive in New York next Thurs
day, but not to delay the funeral as it might
require longer time to reach New York.

SALMON TO BE HIGH.
Big Shortage in This Years Pack on
the Pacific Coast.

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-The Call says
today:
Advices from the north confirm the
large shortage of this years pack of
canned salmon. The summary of the
reports on the 1898 pack is as follows:
British Columbia, 100000 cases; Alas
ka, S40,O cases; Puget Sound, 100000
cases; Sacramento river, spring pack,
20, coo cases; Columbia river, spring
pack, 10000 cases; total, 1880, 900 cas-
es, against 100000 rases in 1897.
The fall pack in 1897 on the Pacific
coast was about 300, 900 cases. It is es-
timated that the same will not be over
200 900 cases this year, making the total
shortage of this years pack over 1,000,
600 cases. Most of the Gamers expect
ing q very large pack sold futures at
low prices and many of the districts are
heavily oversOId. The shortage of
800 900 cases in British Columbia leaves
large markets uncovered. The largest
Alaska canneries did not sell futures
and having packed within 10 per cent
of the pack of 1897, are in a comfort
able position. The Puget Sound has
sold futures to the extent of $4,000 cas-
es for export and 400, 900 for domestic
markets The export arder will be
filed having been made by Gamers
who made a comparatively good pack.
but not over 80 per cent of deliveries
will be made on the domestic sales. The
Sacramento spring and fall packs are
sold The Columbia river Gamers are
at least 100 600 cases OVerSOld.

GREAT DAIRY SCHOOL
To Be Established at the State Agri-
cultural College.

The state agricultural college is to be
made the largest experimental station
so far as cattle are concerned, in the
United States.
II. NJ. COttreH, professor of agricul-
ture, has perfected plans for expert
ments with feeding and dairy cattle on
such large scale that the experiments
cannot be open to the usual objection
Of not being extensive enough to be
valuable.
The first thing that will be done will
be the purchase of $50 head of high
grade dairy cows. The animals are to
be divided among the following breeds:
Jerseys, GuernseyS, HOIstein. Ayrshire
and Short Horn. A modern dairy is to
be conducted on the state property and
Prof COttren viii be able to show by
actual practice just which animals are
the most profitable for the dairy and
the best methods of making and selling
butter. He will also experiment with
breeding and disposing of the male
calves will be covered by the expert
ments.
Prof. COttreu also proposes to buy
200 head of steers which will be divided
into herds of 20 and he will experiment
with kaffir corn and other forage crops
to show which is the most profitable
and successful for Kansas feeders.
