ADMIRAL DEWEY AND THE PHILIPPINES

The people of all sections would Ike
to know the read sentiments of Admiral
Dewey with reference to the policy that
should be pursued in the Philippine ISL
ands. On June 23rd he cabled the Navy
Department that they were capable OF
self-goyernment and wrote that they
We're far superior TO the Cubans lie IS
in delicate position. AS Admiral OF
the Navy, he must follow the course
marked out by the administration. Navy
officers are proverbially reticent. They
act upon the principle,
Theirs NOT to reason why
Theirs but to do and die"
iUpon his return to this country within
a few days, we need not expect Admiral
Dewey to outline his view, but rather
to hold amy personal opinions in sllbjec-
ton to the policy of his superiors. There
is every reason to believe that he does
not approve the present programme.
His recognitions of Aguinaldo and his
protection of his forces, when they were
the allies of the Americans, his expires
sions in June of last year, when added to
the general tone of the interviews given
out by the men who have talked with
him. warrant the belief that Admiral
Dewey would not if left to himself wage
a war for conquest against Aguinaldo
and his followers. The London News
prints a dispatch from its correspondent
at Rome, which the News says was Sc
cured Through the friendly intervention
of the Secretary of the American Eml-
bassy at Rome The News quotes AID
miral Dewey as saying:
II have the question of the Philippines
more at heart than has amy other Amer
ican, because / know the Filipenos init
nlately and they know | am their friend.
1.-THE Filipinos are capable of govern
ing themselves; they have all qualitica-
items for it. 1t is a question of time,
but the only way to settle the inSurrec-
tfon and assure prosperity to the archi-
pelago lis to corcede self-government to
the inhabitants. That would be a solu-
ton of MANY questions and would salts
fy all. especially the Filipinos, who be-
fieye themselves worthy of it and are
so.
II have never been in favor of violence
toward the Filipinos. The islands are
at this moment blockaded by fleet and
war reigns i'm the interior. This abnor-
NAL state of things should cease. |
should like to see autonomy first con-
coded. and then annexation might ne
talked about. This is my opinion. |
should like to see violence at once put d
stop to. According to my view the con-
cession of lf-government ought to DC
the most just and most logical solution.
Commenting ON this the New York
World says that while its authencity will
be questioned, Dewey's former express
sions show that this utterance is IN iiar-
nlony with his views, and adds:
IF the Admiral had taken this oppef-
tllnity, before his return home, of max
iag k1pownl his disapprobation of war
of conquest in the Philippines, it wouii
harmonic with other reported utter
ances Of his and confirms the reason as
signed fer his unexpected departure
from Manila And 1T would give I'm
ishing blow to Mr. McKinley's policy Of
criminal aggression.

Ex-Goyernor Pattison, of Pennsylya-

1900 only ON new issues. A month
ago he brushed aside the antitrust issue,
saying that it was more of an industrial

effect. Now he says we must advocate
Imperialism, and hold on to the Philip

INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim Of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
oyerpowering to be conquered by resO-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have 50 congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
a perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that

EXPERIENCE WITH A TYpHooN.
Harry Gregg, of This city, Writes OF
Ship Life About San Domingo.

hurry gregg, OF City, Writes of
Ship Life About San Domingo.
Mrs. II. H. Gregg received a letter
Wednesday from her son, Mr.. Harry
Gregg, who Is aboard the u. s.. s. New
Orleans. The letter was begun on Aug.
IA at San Domingo and mailed on the
18th from San Juan, Porto Rico. Mr..
Gregg writes especially of a thrilling
experience the New Orleans crew had
with a typhoon, saying that 1t was all
that they could do to keep off the shore
and weather the storm. I'VE got out of
it all right" he says. but struck it
again Sunday night, when making
preparations to get to sea. Once out
we hit 1t again Tuesday. We were
covered with mountains Of sea and the
wind blew a perfect gale. II ashore the
storm would nave been called a cyclone,
and no mistake. We We're tossed as a
chip in a churn. Life lines We're placed
all o the decks, and we only dared
to venture there at times. For two days
and nights we did not get one wink of
sleep. We could sit fiat on the deck and
eat, but all of a sudden we would find
ourselves over in some other part of
the ship. having changed rations with
some other fellow. Nearly every man
aboard was sea Sick and we were as wet
as rats all the time. They say this old
ship is no good, but 1 think she is the
most seaworthy ship in the navy today.
"All is quiet here now speaking of
San Domingo), but the people say they
will kin the new president. II they do
there will be an awful ruction. / don't
wish them any harm, but i wish they
would start some fun, as we would then
land n put them out of commission.
1t gets very monotonous doing nothing.
w leave here tomorrow for San
Juan for coal. but will come back again.
Grub is a little short at the present
writing and 1 am hungry about all the
time, but as healthy as a rabbit. Am
losing a little flesh, but am feeling fine.
There is lots of fruit here, but it Is not
as fine as that of st. Thomas or San
Juan. We expect a steamer from New
York at Jackmill. Hayti, with mail"
The letter concludes with a postscript,
written a few moments before mailing
ON a honeward-bound steamer. in
which Harry says that they arrived a,
San Juan on the 18th inst. BY thit
time, however, the New Orleans is back
to San Domingo again.

suprume Court Catching up.

The Oregon supreme court is max
ing progress in catching up with the
work on its docket. Some help in
this respect is being rendered by the
stenographers provided for at the an
nual session of the legislature. Part
of the credit is due to the people of
Oregon generally, who show them
selves to be possessedof less litigious
spirit on the average than formerly
either this, or they are better satisfied
on the whole with the decisions OF the
lower courts. Not as many cases are
being appealed as was the rule few
years ago. If the teLdencv keeps mp
the court will be able to catch up with
the work before long. But there is no
estimating how long it will last. 1t Is
more probable than otherwise that
the tribunal will not clear the docket
entirely at all, until the mum Der of
justices is increased, for all cases must
be given due consideration before de-
cisions are rendered to appear in the
printed reports and become part of
the judicature of the states; and, for
the matter of that, of all states.
There is poor prospect before the
members of the court for a summer
vacation, or very long one.-Salem

Now Is the Time.

Probably Methuselah didn't own a
clock-for time was not precious when
men lived for six or eight centuries.
But when the span of life came down
to "three score and ten," it was an.
other matter; and men early felt the
need of some measure of this fleeting
treasure. time. Many and various
were the devices used, in those days of
crude inventive thought. There was
clepsydra, or water clock; there
were dozens of devices employed to
note the fleeting hour, including the
familiar hour-glass and sundia. The
best of these could only approximate
to the correct time; to get within five
minutes of it would have been regarded
as great accomplishment. Today
for ID dollar, one buys a time piece that
subdivides the seconds of time. This
is an appropriate time of the year for
clocks, to be repaired, and cleaned.
Nearly everyone has clock or two
about the house that needs ''fiixln."
Harry G. Liebe in the Vogt block is
prepared to repair any watch Or clock
without exception whatever. Those
desiring to have reliable work done
will do well to call on him. He also
carries complete line of watches and
clocks of all descriptions at very
reasonable prices.

A Mystery to be Solved.

About 6 o'clock Monday morning
Mr.. Dupuis, of Vancouver, discovered
small, clinker-buiit skiff floating in
the river, apparently without an oc-
pulled out. The craft was empty with
the exception of few articles of cloth
ing, and Winchester rife. Mr.. Du.
pois towed the .skiff ashore and i'm.
mediately began an investigation.
The following named articles were
found in the boat: A coat, hat, Win.
chester rifle with one she'll discharged
and the hammer thrown back, an um-
brella, kid glove and quart bottle
about half full of whiskey.
In a pocket of the coat was an en-
velope addressed TO j. ]. Scott. Bridal
Veil, Or. The envelope bore the
postmark of Seattle, May "a, 1899, and
contained a receipt for an express
money order for the amount of 50.
Mr.. Dupuis Immediately teiephoned
to Bridal Veil and asked for informa-
tion concerning j. ]. Scott of that
place. 1t was ascertained that he was
a resident there and had left in boat
Sunday morning for Duncan lake and
nothing had been seen nor heard of
him since.
When the boat was picked up, there
was one oar hanging in the lock
Three or four locks were scattered
about the bottom, but no oars were in
the boat. The skiff is valuable one,
clirker built, and vanished inside
and out. On the bow is painted the
name "Cap Sheaf."
1t is generally supposed in Van
couver and in Bridal Veil that Scott
mas fallen overheard and was drowned.
