A Home for y ewey.

Washington, May 13.-Secretary
Long said today of the proposition to
present Admiral Dewey with a home to
be paid for by popular subscription :
THE proposed gift of home to Ad-
miral Dewey is not only a great and
deserved tribute to him. but an express
sion of the generous gratitude of the
people 1t is something in which they
wish to share, and which the widow &
mite will be as big as the millionaire s
check. Handsome as is the gift, the
spirit that prompts it is still finer. "
New York, May 10 Assistant. Score.
tary of the Treasury Frank A. Wander
lip has consented to act as chairman Of
a national committee to provide resi-
dence in Washington for Admiral

the Brooklyn Eagle in this regard was
published on May 18th.

Roanoke. Va, May IA 1t is stated
here that the Norfolk and Western Rail-

has about obtained control Of the Gin
cinnati, Portsmouth and Virginia Rail-
road. This road would make an i'm
portant link in the Norfolk and West
ern system, and give the company an
entrance into the city Of Cincinnati,
thus furnishing a new outlet for the
coal traffic and at the same time open
competing line for the business of the
West and the Atlantic seaboard.

Veterans, at Charleston, S. O.. last
week, is well known in this section.
He was a member of Capt Rowe's re-
cruiting detachment and was stationed
here for several months. The opposition
of the Virginia delegation was owing
to Mr.. Lee being resident of
