licemen In informing them OF the where

PIoHEEn CHINESE A SUICIDE.


Dong Dong, Twenty Years . Rest.
aeat Of seattle, Hangs Himself.
A Chinese bearing the aiIiterative appel
Iation Of Dong Dong hanged himself In the
basement Of Quong Tuck's store at 800
Washington street yesterday afternoon
When discovered at about o'clock yester-
day evening he had been dead several
hours. delegation Of Chinese viewed the
remains in solemn procession and then cut
poor Dong Dong down. The body was re-
moved to the morgue.
Dong Dong was about - years OF age
ane WAS one Of the Chinese pioneers OF Be-
attic. The oldest residents OF Chinatown
say he came here twenty years ago. For
many years he earned his daily bread by
unremltfing toll over the washboard and
ironing table. and at last Laid by enough
money to go to New York. In that city
also he piled his vocation. He prospered
and returning to Seattle several years ago
embarked for China
Long residence IN this country had &C.
stroyed Dong Dong's admiration for the
customs OF his native land. however. and
he returned again 10 Seattle. For awhile
he was employed az q cook at the Port
Gamble saw mills
About six weeks ago he went down the
Sound TO work In n salmon cannery. While
80 engaged he began acting queer. One
morning he packed his belongings in q car
pet bag and took to the woods. The boss
of the cannery wired Dong Dong's cousin
In Seattle TO look out for him. A few
days later Deng Dong reached home. but
la q sad plight.
The Chinese physicians did their best,
but they could do nothing for Dong Dong.
Insomnia had fastened itself upon him,
and day and night he walked the streets
OF Chinatown and muttered strangs things
to himself He complained OF ringing
noises In his ears.
Dong pong's sad condition became the
gossip OF Chinatown. and as he passed by
the Mongolians on the street corners would
mutter q Chinese phrase equivalent to say
ing that Dong Dong had bats In his be-
fry"
Yesterday Dong Dong slipped away from
his watchfil friends and hied himself to
the basement with short length OF bed
core In his hand.
A few minutes later he swung himself
into eternity.

The ablest administrator yet cast up
by the recent war IS General Wood, of
Santiago fame
He told the Congressional committee
the other day that fifty thousand
troops are required in Cuba, this number
being necessary beCause OF the climate.
for only IS to 20 per cent. will be found
effective as a rule. A days active
service would cause halt Of any military
force to drop out. This is the reason
Spain needed 8.o-o troops in Cuba"
The approaching yellow fever season
will swell the long death roll, So much
for Cuba.
Prof. Worcester, member OF the
Philippine Commission, say in his book
upon the archipelago where he reside d
for wears: ut is unfortunately true that
the climate OF the Philippines is espec-
iallv severe IN its effects on white women
and children. 1t is very doubtful in my
Judgment il successive generations OF
European or American children could
be reared there.
IF a man is permanently situated in a
good locality where he can get suitable
food and good drinking water, If he is
scrupulously careful as to his diet, If he
avoids excesses of all kinds, II he keeps
out of the sun IN the middle OF the day,
II he refrains from severe and prolonged
physical exertion. he IS likely to remain
well. always supposing that he is for
tuuate enough to escape malarial iniec-
tiou," which he says "is especially
prevalent where forest land is being
cleared or new ground broken. II is
often very bad near paddy fields during

What chance have our troops to iulhl

they will escape, provided only they

Corps should have been so slow IN intro
ducing smokelesss power in the late war.
The only battery Of light artillery that
was under fire being armed with old
obsolete pieces firing black powder,
seems a sad commentary on our boasted
advance in progress over the other
nations of the earth. It is the strongest
proof OF the existence Of something very
much like dry rot in the Ordnance
Department. That the naval officer
should strenuously resist the innovation
can be ea,iIy conceived, as, packed in
the small confines of vessel crammed
with heavy obsolete guns, as all the
vessels Of our navy are anyhow notoTl'
ously overloaded with artillery, 1t IS
much more comfortable to use the old
brownprismatict than the high explosive,
which a prominent English admiral
maintains is as dangerous to friend as TO
Zoe. The naval officer has consequently
to take his chances with the other occu-
pants oil the vessel, but our Ordnance
officers, who are not expected to expose
themselves under fire, have not the
personal risk of the sister service. The
only Ordnance officers that saw killed
in the Civil war were during the siege
OF Vicksburg. In the field they were
expected to act as aids to the generals,
on whose staffs they served, as they
were always in the rear No reflection
is intended to be castupon their personal
courage, as some OF the travest and most
skilful generals on both sides in the
Civil war were promoted out of the
Ordnance Corps.

The Dem ocratic Position.

Inc Dem
In an interview in the New YORK
W0yld dSenator Jones, OF Arkansas
Chairman Of the National Demo
cratic Committee, defines the
position of the Democrats in the
Senate toward the treaty with
Spain.
He declares that they are ready
TO vote to ratifY the treaty at once
"if it can be amended to say what
it means-or what its advocates
claim it means" They ask that
the third article be made to con-
form to the first, embodylng "a
declaration OF purpose rs to the
Philippines equivalent to that
made use Of toward Cuba"
If this were done Senator Jones
says he has no doubt that the treaty
would be ratified unanimously
The refusal OF the Administration
Senators to accept this would, as
he suggests, "seem to indicate
purpose to acquire the Philippines
permanently.
The attitude ol the Democratic
Senators as thus defined is identI-
cal with that taken Dy Senator
Hoar in his interview on Sunday
and justihes his belief that with
but few exceptions the entire Dem
ocratic vote in the Senate will be
cast for the amendment" ."
Senator Jones raises the peril
nent question why so large a part
OF the volunteer army is still kept
in the field. He declares with per
feet truth that if this treaty is never
ratified, and if no other is ever
made, "there will never be another
gun fred between the United
States and Spain" The ratihca-
ton is a mere formality. Every
body knows that spain has nothing
TO fight with and the United States
nothing to fight about. The only
effect of maintaining a large army
for Cuba and the Philippines will
l)s to keep alive the apprehension
Of their people "that our intentions
are hostile to their liberties" D."
After these assurances from the
opponents o of imperialism, the Ad-
ministration and it's supporters
must assume the responsibility for
the delay or defeat OF the treaty.
They can have ratification at once
by making the treaty conform to
the noble and unselhsh purpose
with which this country entered
upon the war, as embodied in the
declaration of Congress.
The attitude OF the Democrats
is, as we have said, one of pure
patriotism, dictated by a high
regard for peace and welfare Of
the nation. Their party interest
would be subserved by allowing
the Republicans to commit the
country to a policy which is sure
to become abhorrent to the people
and which would result in their
certain expulsion from power,
If the Republicans are unable to
appreciate this, so much the worse
for them-and so much the better
for the Democratic party.
