Gen. c.. Nee. Reeve does not give much
credit to the published reports of fric-
ton between Admiral Dewey and the
authorities at Washington. He SAYS that
Dewey is far too big man to allow him
self to be placed at disadvantage, but
at the same time says that the admiraPs
advice relative to affairs in the Philip
pines has been entirely ignored
Admiral Dewey advised that the gov
eminent enlist native Filipino troops and
officer them from the regular army. This
suggestion was not adopted, notwith-
standing the fact that a similar course is
invariably pursued by all other civilized
nations in their warfore against barhar-
Gus or semi-barbarous peoples. He also
advised that local government he
conceded wherever possible. and here
again Washington overruled his sugges-
ton.
Naturally the Washington officials were
unwilling to have the people know that
they had refused to follow Dewey's ad-
vice, and accordingly the matter was kept
quiet No one in authority, from the
president down, had any wish to appear
antagonistic to the admirals opinions
Every one was quick to realize that in the
eyes of the American people his word
has weight, and they did not want to
run their heads against stone wall.
Consequently his message was never
made public. and Gen. Otis, the adminis-
tratlon's pet, Gen. Reeve states, was al
lowed to blunder along as he pleased.
AS an instance Of how little attention
Admiral Dewey pays to the interference
with his work occasionally attempted by
the navy department, Gen. Reeve told a
story which was current at Manila before
he left the city. He did not, however,
vouch for the truth of the incident.
The admiral, it seems had purchased
somewhere a large quantity Of coal, a
much larger quantity in fact, than the
navy department officials thought he
needed. They Immediately cabled him,
demanding to know for what purpose the
coal had been bought. The answer was
terse and unsatisfactory. Dewey simply
replied: 'To burn and let It go at that
Gen. Reeve was very much amused
and at the same time disguised with the
action of the council Friday evening in
appropriating $175 from the contingent
fund for the entertainment Of the Thir-
tenth regiment when it shall return

minneapolis Library Board Finan-
ces Are Not in Good shape.
The Minneapolis library board has
been compelled to retrench. Some of the
employees are to be dismissed and the sal
aries of others reduced in order that
the institution may be. conducted within
the appropriation This step, though
not formally decided Upon, is necessi-
tated by the condition Of the finances
of the library. At the meeting of the
board on Friday there was no quorum
present, and as a RESULT the plan or
economy decided upon by the hnance
committee was not adopted, though there
is every probability that it will be at the
next meeting. q g"
In order that the public may be made
aware of the necessity for the change
of policy, Librarian J. K. Hosmer has
prepared the following statement:
The public library board has just
finished a consideration of the reports
for the first six months of 1899, and finds
itself in the following situation:
"Of its total income for the year 1899
collections already made and probable
collections during the next six months),
amounting to S51 900, $26470 have already
been spent, leaving for the expenses or
the coming six months $M,530. This sum
is inadequate to meet the probable claims
upon the library during the next SIX
months, at the present rate of expendi-
ture; still less will it afford any balance
at the beginning of 1900, a thing indis-
pensable for the administration of the
library during the first two months OF
1900, before collections are made on the
new levy. An embarra sSment Whlch
has been growing for some years mere
eliminates, and the board feels that de-
cided steps toward retrenchment must
be taken"

three handkerchiefs, was all that was
found on the body.
Coroner Nelson had the body removed
to the county morgue where it will be
held for identification. There Is no doubt
that the young man committed suicide,
and the note he left behind to tell the
story tells clearly that the writer was
crazy and had gone to the spot DELHI
erately intending to take his own life.
The coroner could not even ascertain
who found the body, but it was said to
be people who had gone over into the
woods, which are part Of a picnic
grounds, to eat lunch. They notified
park policeman, who telephOned police
headquarters. The coroner thought that
the suicide had been dead about two
hours. Death was instantaneous, as the
ball entered just below the heart.

There Is a picnic in store for the heads
of departments in the old city hall. City
Comptroller Rogers has served notice on
the council that all departments must
live within their appropriations. AL
ready the police and some other depart
ments have overdrawn their appropria-
lions some $1,000. Should this pace be
maintained by Mayor Gray and his as
sistants for the coming half year, the
boys will get no money to buy Christmas
presents. Former city comptrollers have
not objected to the transfer of money
from funds having a surplus to those
with deficit, but MIR. Rogers says this
Is illegal and he will not approve of it.
Now the aldermen and heads of depart
ments have their thinking caps on
Some time ago the city council passed
an ordinance obligating all transfer and
eXpressmen to obtain licenses before
they could legally do business in this city.
The "one-horse" men agreed to and
complied with the provisions of the or
dinance, but the big fellows have so far
refused and propose to fight. Some
cases have appeared in court, but not
recently, and now it is limited that the
mayor is not i'll sympathy with the or

the ordinance he will make a bigger mis-
take than he did when he vetoed the

The police picnic, held at Lake Park
Minnetonka, last Tuesday, was a great
success financially. The committee or
finances report that they will net some
$500. This is a splendid showing in view
of the fact that fewer people attended
from the city than on former years, but
they spent more money.

ENTERTAINMENT OF EDITORS.
About Four Hundred VIII Be the
Guests of Minneapolis.

It is estimated that there will be about
400 members in the editorial party which
will be entertained in Minneapolis en-
route from the coast. So far as it has
been approved, the programme entertain
ment includes a breakfast at the West
and luncheon at Lake Harriet. 1t is eX-
pected that the visitors will have oppor-
tunity to visit the sawmiIls and also the
-four mills, and to view the city from
the roof of the Guaranty building. The
trolley ride they are expected to take will
include Minnehaha.
Though they are to be turned over to
ST. Paul On the day of their visit here,
Minneapolis practically represents the
last point at which any formal hospitality
will be rendered them before the party dis
solves. The present programme includes
delivery to st. Paul in time for supper
at the Ryan in the evening. Immediately
after the evening train will be taken for
Chicago.
