Washington, June 23-President Nc

understanding of well informed war de-
partment officials.
The administration has at last come to
recognize the necessity of reinforcing
General Otis command.
When Acting Secretary of War Mel
klejohn was questioned on this point, he
said that if the president authorized addi-
tional men the number would be deter
mined after consultation with General
Otis. 1t would not be surprising were the

DEWEY AT COLOMBO.
Warmly Greeted In ceylon's
Capital.
THE ADM1RALs FIRST SPEECH.

Refers to Chichester Mt Manila-He
Says, "Great Britain and America
We're Never SO closely Allied by
sympathy as Now"
Colombo, Ceylon, June 23.-Admiral
Dewey's reception here was the warmest
which has been extended to him at any
port where he has touched since he start
ed on his voyage from Manila to New
York.
The local newspapers print columns OF
welcome, including poems, in his honor,
in which Dewey is compared with Mel
son.
The admirars presence at Hotel Gale
Face, instas d of accepting the governors
hospitality, signifies that he is adhering
to his determination to rest.
His official landing was picturesque.
Natives attired in gaudy 'colorsrtormed
gay background to solid files of Highland
ers facing the avenue through which he
passed from the quay to the governors
carriage.
Admiral Dewey spoke in complimenta-
ry terms of the appearance of the troops
and of the good taste displayed in the ar
rangements for his reception.
The admiral will remain here about a
week. His health is fairly good.
An aid de camp representing the gov
ernor, Colonel Sir Joseph West Ridge
way, boarded the Olympia at a. m. in
order to welcome Admiral HAwey, and
Colonel Savage, commanding the troops,
called at 10 o'clock. The visits were re-
turned by Admiral Dewe.yAt II. He
was received at the jetty by guard of
honor and, amid cheering, drove in the
governors carriage to breakfast with
Colonel Savage
Presented with an Address.
The admiral afterward booked rooms
at the Gale Face hotel and returned on
board the Olympia at / p. m. There he
received a deputation representing the
Planters association and the Chamber
of Commerce, and was presented with a
silver casket and an address and 1000
pounds of tea for the Olympia's crew.
The admiral said he wished he could
reply to the address of welcome in ade-
quate terms, reciprocating the sentiments
expressed, but spoke from his heart in
saying that he deeply appreciated the
welcome. He promised to have the very
acceptable present of tea distributed,
mentioning ludC he was llIelOng Tea
drinker himself and to have the address
read at muster and afterward framed
and preserved. The casket he would al
ways keep on his table, and he would re-
port the matter to his government and
describe the cordially of his reception.
'That cheer raised on the jetty when
l landed went to the hearts of all of us, -
the admiral continued I'VE are $4,000
miles from home, but that cheer will be
heard in America, although the way in
which it has touched me | shall never
be able to fully express. The two nations
were never so closely allied by mutual
sympathy and appreciation as now. The
American people realized this during the
late war, and you can imagine how all
those who were at Manila and met Sir
Edward Chichester commander of the
British cruiser Immortality and his gal
liant comrades hold that feeling very
deeply"
After toasting the "Anglo-Saxon I'M
ion" and the prosperity of the two coun-
tries the delegations left.

COUNTY ASYLUM NONSENSE.

That the Board of Freeholders should
give serious consideration to the matter
of constructing acounty institution for
the insane seems almost incredible.
There are counties in the state where a
low grade of practical politics has for
years obtained and seems yet to prevail;
in such counties we might reasonably ex-
pect some such scheme to be brought
forward, but in Morris county where
there has been constructed one of the
finest state institutions in the Urited
States and where the citizens may observe
what it means to have the insane of the
state properly cared for, such PROPOSE
ton borders upon the ridiculous. 1t is a
matter of history, in fact matter of
very distasteful record that county in
situations as a rule grow out of political
aspirations and are subjected to political
methods and manipulations. To apply
political usages to that class of the de-
pendent sick who are unable to contend
for or make an intelligent plea in behalf
of their interests is not only cruel but
reflects discredit upon the county and on
the individuals who indorse, promote or
permit it. There is only one argument
brought forth by persons who advocate
the construction of county institutions,
and that is that they will save the tax
payers money The question in the
mind of the people who reason along this
line is, show cheaply can we care for
the insane and not how we'll they can
be cared for" An eminent writer upon
the subject says 'if we care for our in
sane like hogs we can maintain them as
cheaply as we do our hogs"
The state of New Jersey has established
a reputation for maintaining her public
charities with credit to herself. She has
builded wisely and hes supported with
dignity and honor two fine state intitu-
lions, to which the insane of all the
counties may be sent and be properly,
humaneiy and scientifically cared for.
The people of New Jersey who have as
citizens and officials intelligently in
quired into the operation and conduct
of the state hospitals for the insane at
Morris Plains and Trenton point to these
magnificent public charities with pride
and satisfaction. That the desire of
"false economists" to erect county insti-
tuition should be given any Reorganization
is to be deplored. There no need for a
county asylum in Morris county; the
people do not demand it; the taxpayers
have not asked for it and the CHRONICLE
ventures to say that the citizens of this
county who wish to uphold the dignity
of this state and protect the welfare of
its dependent insane will unqualifedly
frown upon such movement on the
part of the Freeholders of this county.
Let us have our insane properly care
for, let our policy be to see how we'll we
can look after an unfortunate class who
are completely incompacitated from look
ing after themselves, and if it be neces-
sary to build up local political machines
let us not stoop to make the basis of such
machinery the sick, the helpless, the
blind and the insane, upon whom the
dark shadow of misfortune has fallen.
A county asylum is not nee led; our State
institutions are sufficient

THE SOLDIERS FRIEND.

"Here in my home State, in my home
district, in the city l love SO well, and
among the people / love so well, from
the platform from which lave spoken
to you SO often, want to publicly ac-
knowledge the great wrong have done
II. Clay Evans. Boys, he is your friend
and the friend of soldiers everywhere.
Let us give him at least justice"
Congressman David B. Henderson,
prospective speaker of the Fifty-sixth
Congress, according to special dis
patch to the Pittsbstrg Times, thus made
public apology at Waterloo, Iowa, re-
Gently, for his attack upon the Commits
sioner of Pensions. He spoke at one of
the campfires of the annual encamp-
ment of the Iowa e. A. r., and, the
dispatch says, his remarks were vigor-
ously cheered by his old comrades.
This is the most interesting express
sion that has come from Speaker-elect
Henderson. His statement that Com
missioner Evans is the friend of the
soldiers everywhere" will carry weight
with it and promises to have no little
influence with veterans generally. In
his candidacy for the Speakership, Col.
Henderson was doomed as the soldiers
candidate. 1t will be re called that Gen.
Dyrenforth, Commander in-chief of the
Union Veterans Union, went so far as
to issue circular to the soldiers of the
land, calling upon them to boycott at
the. polls such members of Congress as
refuse to support Col. Henderson -

= FREE LIBRARY FOR ORANGE.

Our neighboring city of Orange is to
be congratulated on the prospect of a
handsome new free library building
which they will soon enjoy through the
noble generosity of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
W. Stickler, as memorial to their son,
DIR. Joseph William Stickler, who died
recently. Mr.. and Mrs. Stickler leave to
the trustees of the bu ilding the making
of the plans and the arrangements of the
building, which will cost $4,000 or
more, and thus fire proof building
thoroughly equipped with every modern
facility will be provided Morristown
does not envy Orange but she does wish
first for free library and then for a
building to put it in.

COLONIAL DAYS.


Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library OF
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested in everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find, it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery.
The old. musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed They are the records of more
than hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who proceeded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
generation.
Below will be found continuation of
the records, and other extracts will ap-
pear weekly until the whole is completed:

In 1894 General Frederick Funston,
the famous hero of the Twentieth Kan
sas Volunteer Infantry, made journey
of several hundred miles TO visit the
whalers on the ice foes about Herschel
Island. The story of his experience, as
he tells it in the July number of HGr-
per's Round Table shows that the dough
ty Western colonel. besides being a good
fighter, is very entertaining writer.
The July number contains also five first
class stories, and several special articles
of great practical value to the average
American boy. Canoes and Canoeing,
by J. Macdonald Oxley. is a timely arti-
Gle on sport that is growing more popu-
lar every day. This article gives many
valuable hints on camping and travel
