Every day that brings Admiral Dew
ey nearer home also brings increased
evidence OF the great esteem In which
Ne Is held by his countrymen. Since
Grants time no other man has ap-
preached this popularity. He stands
quite alone. and the whole nation is
getting ready to welcome him in Oc-
tober. In view OF this indubitable
fact. how account for the pauclty OF
the popular offering for the Dewey
home fund! stinginess never was a
characteristic OF the American people.
But only SEQ 900 is forthcoming for the
alleged object of the nations highest
esteem. There Is only one answer to
this conundrum. which is that the peo.
pie take little stock in home fund
raised by public subscription. Ap'
parently It savors too much OF passing
the hat.

is explainabie on the ground that they
have decided to devote their earnings

CABINET CRISIS ACUTE.
Situation in Paris Becoming Serious
Bourgeois May Relieve 1t.

Paris, June 21.-The prOlOngation of
the cabinet crisis is becoming most Sc
rious. Dupuy and Lockrey both called
upon President Loubet yesterday and
expressed their anxiety to be relieved
of the responsibility of their offices as
soon as possible. 1t is reported that
orders have been sent to St. Michaels,
Azore islands, directing the command
err of the French cruiser SfaX, which
is bringing Dreyfus to France, to re-
main there a short time so as not to
arrive in home waters until the min
istry is installed. Should Bourgeois
accept the task of forming a ministry,
it is thought that his chances of sue
cess will be fairly good. His pres
tige has been much increased by the
part he has played in the deliberations
of the peace conference at The Hague,
where he is believed to have won the
gratitude of Emperor Nicholas by his
tact and zeal in behalf of arbitration.
The latest gossip favors a combination
cabinet, including Bourgeois, Brisson,
Pincare and Waldeck-Rosseau, but
nothing will be known until M. Bour-
geois arrives.

Chicago, June 21.-The Record says:
''When Congressman Henderson Of
Iowa has been elected speaker of the
house of representatives of the seth
congress, he will in the main reorgan
ize the committees without changes in
the personnel. The craftsmanship of the
committee on rules, which Congress-
man Henderson himself has held, is
an exception, and when the Iowa
statesman is elevated this chair will go
to Congressman Babcock of Wiscon-
sin. This has been agreed upon after
a conference between Col. Henderson
and Congressman Babcock, and other
leaders. Following the announcement
that Congressman Payne of New York
would remain at the head of the COM
mittee on ways and means, there came
to the surface yesterday the additional
information that Congressman Hit Of
Illinois would retain the Craftsmanship
of the committee on foreign relations,
and that Congressman Cannon of Illi-
nois would remain at the head of the
appropriations committee.

DIDN'T SEE THE KAISER.
DR.. Zorn Returns to The Hague With
out Consulting Emperor William.

The Hague, June 20-Dr. Zorn, the
member of the German delegation to
the international peace conference,
who was dispatched Friday by Count
Won Munster, chief German delegate,
after a conference with his colleagues,
to inform Emperor William personally
of the condition of affairs in regard to
the board of arbitration question, re-
turned to Scheveningen Monday from
Berlin. 1t is said, however, owing to
absence of the emperor, DR.. Zorn was
only able to consult with the official
German foreign offre. DR.. Acrn is
discreetly reticent regarding his mis-
sion, but it is understood that he OBJ
tanned the impression at Berlin that all
hope need not be abandoned affecting
an understanding regarding the organ
ization of an arbitration board by
amalgamating the various schemes. It
is expected that Emperor William will
reach a decision this week. The mat
ter therefore remains unchanged, and
the drafting committee will not meet
until the kaiser's decision is known
The conference wishes an arbitration
tribunal to be established. It may de-
eide upon the draft scheme, pending
Germany's decision.
