Attempt to Consolidate Minneapolis Flour
Mills Not Meeting With Favor.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dee. l5-W. c. Ed
gar, editor of the Northwestern Miller,
says that the proposition to unite the
milling interests Of the country In 81
gantic combine, would prove failure 81
far as this city is concerned. PROMOTER
MCINTYRE has been in the city since Mon
day. and has been using his best endeav-
ors to successfully carry out his scheme
of consolidation.
Mr. Edgar has been strongly opposed To
the plan and states that he has taken
particular pains to consult all the miiiers
of the city of prominence and that with
out exception they declare themselves
against the proposed combination. Nc
lntyre and his men do not care particu-
farly for the Minneapolis mills said Mr..
Edgar. ''All they desired was 10 obtain
control of the branas which have made
this city famous AT the outset II Is quite
true that Il number of the Minneapolis
mllcrs We're inclined To hook with favor
upon the proposition to consolidate, but

such action would be a mistake

among the last of the West Indies that

only three places that are of value

Is Dewey Coming Homer

A cablegram from Manila states
that. while. Admiral Dewey is not i'll,
there are reasons why he should have a
rest from the responsibilities which he
has so ably borne since last spring.
"The effect of the worriment and the
high nervous tension to which the adj
miral has been subjected Throughout.
the summer. is becoming apparent
says the correspondent of the New
York Sun, who adds: AT the same
time. the necessity of keeping him here
is practically ended" There will prob
ably be no change in the situation for
the next six months, and, as that will
be the worst season in the Philippines.
it is urged that Dewey ought to come
home for his health.
1t must he recognized that the hero
of Manila has been under teff.bls
strain since the sun arose on that
s.baAity has been enormous. and he has
been tireless in the faithful perform.
ance of his many arduous duties. II
would be very strange if the effect OF
the worriment and the high nervous
tension to which the admiral has been
subjected throughout the summer We're
not becoming apparent. AT the same
time the necessity for keeping him
there lis practically ended. When he
was summoned to return to the
United States, a few months ago, he
informed the government that he
thought there was still important work
here for him to do, and the orders for
his return were countermanded, the
Washington authorities realizing that
he was the best man to deal with any
questions that might arise in the
Philippines. AS the situation develops,
however, it becomes more and
more apparent that the part
of the work that the navy
has yet to do in the Philippines
will be largely of routine character,
and Admiral Dewey, feeling that this
is so, would doubtless be satisfied to
go home.
If Admiral Dewey really needs rest
he ought to have it. He is too Nalu-
able a man to be overworked. But the
u,,eStion is Will he get mlls.h rest if he
comes home? Think of the ovations
sswaiting him! Think of the banquets
and sword presentations and recep-
tons and enthusiastic demonstrations
that will greet him at every possible
opportunity. Still, it is a long way
home from Manila, and probably ne
may gather strength from the breezes
on the way.

Gen. Lees Return to Cuba.

General Fitzhugh Lee is now the
chief actor in great drama called
Poetic Justice" Eight months ago,
just as the war began, he left Havana.
the last American to leave the city.
He had shown himself a great man in
a most trying situation. He had been
faithful to great responsibilities, and
the whole American nation was prais-
ing his name. But insults. and jeers
followed him from the city. General
Blanco refused to give him audience
on the eve of his departure. When he
went away the Spaniards took no
pains to conceal their hatred of him.
and his departure was marked by in
suits, carried as far as his enemies
dared.
There have been some marked
changes in Cuba in these last eight
| months, and General Lee, keeping the
promise he made to the jeering Span
iards. goes back to the island now in
/
do what he and his soldiers can to re-
store good order and pave the way for
the permanent good government of the
island He left Cuba at time when
| his own life was in danger; he returns
as a representative of a victorious ma
fion, which has kept it's pledges and
put an end to Spanish tyranny.
Ever since his appointment as con-
sui general to Cuba General Lee has
rendered to his government a most
valuable service, and has proved him
self not only a true American, but a
overy skilful and capable military Off
Ger. The camp under his command
during the war was the BEST in all the
South. He made it his personal duty
to look after the welfare and comfort
of the men under him, and the records
show that the loss of life at his camp
was much smaller than ait the others.
His return to Cuba is in the nature Of
a personal triumph, and his work there
will undoubtedly add to his reputation
and to the esteem in which he lis held
by the people of this country, whom he
