MONDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1898

The Chicago Journal says the utter
ances of some of the most conspicuous
university men of this country, in re-
spect of the present war, "have been eS-
auples of such malignant toryism as to
disgust plain citizens" Whether the ut
terances referred to disgust plain or
rough citizens, they express common
sense views, and those who emit them
would cheerfully make more sacrifices
for the true good of the country than
any of the yellow journals or the ignor-
ant and prejudiced readers thereof, The
fact that man can look at things with
clear and disinterested eyes and baye
the moral courage to tell what he sees,
doesn't prove him to be either tory or
a traitor, except to those who lack un-
derstanGing.

THE sum of 6fty-four thousand dol
lars has been appropriated for the de-
lection and trial of Spanish spies"
That is just so much money to be
thrown away. AS the newspapers
publish every movement of the army
and navy, every contract the govern
ment makes, every vessel it buys,
every force it organizes and every mine
it laws and ratification it erects, what
more any Spanish spy would find out,
is hard to tell. But there must be req
sons assigned for the expenditure OF
war money.

FROM MANILA.-A dispatch from
Hong Kong says The United States
dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch arrived
here on Sunday from Manila with dis
patches for the United States govern
ment. She reports that the Spanish
gunboat Calloa, from the Caroline Is
lands, recently entered the port OF
Manila, being ignorant of the outbreak
of bostilities between Spain and the
United States. An American warsnip
fired across her bows, and signalled her
demand for her surrender. The de-
mand being disregarded the American
shin fired direct at the Spanish gunboat
and the latter surrendered.
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horse flesh, and the prospect of
relief seems far distant.
The Hugh McCulloch also reports
that the Philippine insurgents applied
to Rear Admiral Dewey for his approval
of an attack by them upon the city.
The Admiral, it appears, approved of
the pisn, provided no excuses were
committed. The insurgents then plead.
ed that they had no arms with the exr
ceptiop of machetes, to which the Adj
miral replied "Help yourselves at the
Cayite arsenal"
The city of Manila, however, has not
vet been attacked. About 5000 Span
ish troops are guarding the road lead
ing from Cavite to Manila. There is
no truth in the reported massacre of
number of Americans. There has only
been trifing incident during police
duty, and nobody was hurt.

The Spanish Fleet.

NEW YORK. May 16.-The Evening
Posts Key West special says: The
blocGaders on the south coast of Cuba
have been warned that the Spanish
squadron is reported of Venezuela,
bound northwest, and to double their
vigilance. Powerful vessels which it is not
necessary to name will be ready to aid
the ships stationed there in resisting
the progress of the enemy. And there
is small chance that the Spanish will be
able to enter Cenfuegos, a fortified port
desirable to them on account of large
coaling facilities and machine shops as
capable as any in Cuba. Both our
squadrons are informed about the
course of the Spanish feet.

THE QUESTION of the divine author
ity of the Bible is to be broughtup again
at the coming session of the General
Assembly Ct the Northern Presbyterian
Church at Warren. Indiana. For the
good of that, and of all other churches,
that question should be definitely set
tied as soon as possible, and that 100,
affirmatively, for if the rock upon which
the whole Christian religion-the Bible
be decided to be defective by such a
large church as that referred to, 1t is
plain to be seen that the entire struc-
ture will be weakened.

REV. DR.. HoGE is wise man and a
good preacher. He preached Christ
ian sermon to the troops assembled at
Richmond yesterday evening, and at lis
conclusion, when General Fitzhugh
Lee was called upon for a speech, but
before he could respond, the reverend
old preacher rose and said no speeches
could be made there. There are still
some Virginians who respect the Old
time prophecies of Sunday observances.
A man may not buy e glass OF vine or
beer on Sunday, but ne cen hear as
many inhammatoiy sermons as he can
listen to on that day.

As THE country is growing in popu
lation, it is natural that it should grow
in territory, and also that the number
of its officials should increase. Hence
the desire for the acquisition of Ha-
wall, Cuba, Porto Rico, Nicaragua and
the entire group of the Philippine
islands is not at ali wonderful, for all
that territory must be governed by
American officials. But the acquisi-
ton of foreign territory was the cause
of the downfall of a greater republic
than the United States.

REPORTS from Europe are to the ef-
feet that rumors of general war are
current there. Such a condition has
been anticipated, and the referred to
reports, therefore, are not at all sur
prising. The concentration of wealth
in the hands of few, and the poverty
of the many, is as true of Europe as Of
this country, and discomfort, and conse-
quent recklessness, are as prevalent
there as they are here, SO that spark
of war is very likely to excite a gen.
eral conflagration.

SENATE.

The chaplain of the Senate in his IN

ence TO the death of Mrs. Justin :
Morrill,, wife of the venerable Sep9tor

MIR. Morgan introduced a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Int.
rior for information in his possession
concerning the progress of work on fhs
Nicaragua canal and concerning the
financial affairs of the maritime canal
company. The resolution was agreed
to.
Consideration was resumed of hill
amending the charter of the Eckinpton

bill could not be completed within
reasonable time, Mr.. Allison called m
the war revenue bill.
Mr.. Allison said that as the bill CANA

measure and as it came from the House
the estimates indicated that it would
raise about $10O,000,0O0. He said the
committee had been led to believe that
schedules A STAMP taxes) and 3 (pro.
prietary articles) were too general in
their scope. Ga the beer and tobacco
taxes, on schedules A and B and on
the tonnage tax matter the committee
was substantially unit. The Senate
committee figured that it would REQUIRE
a total of at least 1919, 1872, 600 to pay
the expenses of the war from the pres.
ent time until the first of July 1898, not
taking into account any emergency ex.
penses that might arise at any momeut
MIR. Allison thought the war would
have the inevitable effect of diminish
ing the revenue by disturbing our fol-
eign commerce, but he said that no one
could estimate the extent OF this dis.
turbance. He criticised with severity
the provision for taxing corporations.
He said it was one purpose of the
Senate to authorize the Secretary olthe

purposes and to issue per cent. bonds
therefor. 1t was also The purpose to

THE FIELD IS ENLARG|NG
MANY NEW ENTERPRIES ARE IN
CONTEMPLATION.
Talk of New Jewelry Establishment
There is No Suitable Store Room
to he Obtained.

There are many business entcrpris-
es brewing just now, all pending tine
action of the United States Congress
on the annexation treaty. In the
event of its carrying boom will be
inaugurated in the business world of
these islands which has never before
been equalled.
The foremost among thes projects
is the proposed establishment of Il
large jewelry house. While the plans
are inaccessible it is known that the
matter has been informally discussed
and everything practically agreed up
on. 1t has also been stated that the
money for the new concern has all
subscribed among local business
men.
d. b. Smith, proprietor of the Man
ufacturers' Shoe Company. is active in
the organization of the new company
1t is learned that the capital stock of
the proposed concern is listed at $1O.-
600. The plans call for a store that
will compare favorably with any Jew
elrv establishment in San Francisco.
There seems to be great difficulty in
securing a location. Two dry goods
merchants. whose establishments are
on Fort street, have already been APP
preached and offers made for their
leases, but both have refused to sur
render their leases. There is abso-
lutely no suitable store room to be had
in the main business portion of the
city.
Should Mr.. Brewer decide to build
1 l.. "a.
year. every inch of his block would be
leased without the slightest difficulty.
There are one or two other big bus
mess enterprises under contemplation.
They may be made public shortly.
