The long discussion as to whether Ad-
miral Dewey would accept the proposed
gift of a house to be made to him through
a popular subscription came to an abrupt
close almost the moment the admiral
landed. His promptness in saying yes
was in keeping with that celebrity which
has characterized all his public move
ments. But his swiftness in giving away
the house he has received is truly aston
ishing. and surprises even those who have
grown most familiar with the rapidity of
his proceedings Unlike former instances
Of promptness, however, the present dis
play of it on the part of Admiral Dewey
has aroused very general sentiment of
disappointment and displeasure
OF course conjecture Immediately be-
came rife as to what motive the admiral
may have had in alternating from himself
the beautiful home which was given him
in testimony of the country's admiration,
and transferring the title of II to his
newly-wedded wife. With the private af-
fairs of the admiral the country has no
concern; nor need he trouble himself
about the fertile inventions of those who
make it a business to get up interesting
stories for the entertainment of a gossip
loving public. But with the delicacy and
sensitiYeness of his conduct in relation to
a public gift of honor given TO him as the
almost adored hero of the Spanish war
and accepted by him in that character,
the public have a genuine concern. Ma
tional heroes are not an everyday pro-
duct, and the nation is rightly jealous of
their actions in 50 far s they are in any
way related TO their d lie career Prob
ably the explanation is "A very simple one
but whatever ii is Admiral Dewey clear
~ owes it to himself to make some kind
of statement about the matter.-Balti-

will run regularly between Chica-

at ga. m. The running time,
twelve hours and five minutes, is
nearly two hours faster than the
ordinary schedule. Besides the
regular express and mail cars, the

car, all of the most modern con-
struction. The train will make
stops only at county seats along

A SHORT SESSION
Flood of Bills Introduced In the
Senate
PREPARE FOR INAUGURATION

Denver, Jan. 9,-The house of
representatives remained in session
only thirty minutes this morning.
Aftsr prayer and reading Fridays
Journal, a warm debate ensued as
to whether to adjourn at once, for
the day or to hold an afternoon
session. The idea of adjournment
was to give the decorators an op-
portunity to prepare the hall for
the inaugural ceremonies tomor-
row. AT ten o'clock the house
took recess until two O'Clock
when a very short session was
held.
The senate was more in a mood
for work this morning than was
the house. Immediately after
prayer and readingthe journal a
food of bills was sent to the speak
er's desk. About fifty measures
were read by titles by the clerk.
The bills were all small matters
of interest to only Arapahoe coun-
ty. At 1890 the senate took re-
cess until two o'clock.

News from Dawson City, the new

htd a tendency to keep away a
lafge number of miners with ready
money, who are anxious to get a

the weather, however, does not deter

pushing their work vigorously, and
new veins of low grade ores are
uncovered daily. The city of Daw-

a lively appearance. The Queen

SITUATION
STILL UNCHANGED
President Hopes TO Control fnsur-

FORCE ONLY A LAST RESORT

Washington, Jan. 9-The situa-
ton at Iloilo is giving the presi-
dent and his advisors a great deal
of anxiety. 1t would be possible
to drive the insurgents out OF that
city by force, but every effort will
be made to gain possession of the
place without violence. The pres
ident realizes that if the guns of
the United States are once opened
upon the insurgents, such an event
will be followed by perhaps years
of hostilities.
The attitude of the Filipinos is
irritating to the president, but he
still hopes they can be controlled
without bloodshed.
Further instructions were sent
to General Otis today, urging him
to continue his efforts to induce
the Filipinos to yield to the con-
troll of the United States. Force
will be used only as a last resort,

Congress Will Order an Examina-
tion of the Wreck of the Maine.

tion of the Wreck of the Maine.
Washington. Jan. 9.-Within
two weeks it is expected that con-
gress will order an examination of
the wreck of the Maine, lying in
Havana harbor. Naval officers are
much interested in this prospect.
The naval board of construction
has discussed the matter during
the last few days.
Some Of the officers are in favor
of taking the wreck to sea and
sinking it, and are credited with
sharing the Spanish idea that the
disaster of February 13 was due to
an internal explosion.
Speaker Reed is among those
who have been influenced by the
internal explosion theorists, and
he has expressed himself firmly as
favoring an unbiased examination
of the wreck Some officers of
the navy will indorse such an eff
fort.
They declare with Mr.. Reed that
the government has nothing to
fear in an effort to do justice, and
that it is eminently proper that
whatever can be learned should be
learned.
If the investigation is to be en-
tirely thorough, some officers con-
tend that the board should be COM
posed of British experts and
American engineers; and one or
two officers go SO far as to suggest
that the Spanish government be
represented on the board.
Some of the officers insist that
it is too late to conduct such an
inquiry and that desirable evil
dences one way or the othor have
by this time been obliterated. The
feeling is quite strong on the sub
ject within the service, not only in
regard to causes of the disaster,
but as to the necessity and produc-
tiveness of another examination.

a crisis, owing to the coDtending interests
of Great Britain, the United States and Ger
many, over the question of who should govern
the group. The islands being the most con-
venient stopping-place between Australia
and America, neither Great Britain nor the
United States would consent to their seizure
by Germany. The result was very near to a
clash at arms between the nayies of the
United States and Germany in the bay at
Apia, with prospect that the British would
side with tie Yankees. This was the situa-
tion when the terrible hurricane of March,
1889, put an end to it by blowing several war
ships ashore and practically destroying the
American and German fleets.
In June following the Powers held con-
ference at Berlin, and an agreement was
made which is called the Tripartite-Doni-
MUM, by the terms of which the independence
of the Samoan Islands was guaranteed, with
the right of the natives to choose their own
King. The city of Apia became neutral
territory under the contcmperaneous Govern
ment of the three Powers named. The city
of Apia, therefore, became, as the natives
called it, sacred soil, F." and entirely outside
of the jurisdiction of Il c Samoans, governed
by the three Consuls and subject to Chief
Justice. England and the United States
have always stood together in Samoan affairs,
as opposed to Germany, while the latter

The Pope is Careful of the FUNDS.

There is good story now going the
rounds OF clerical society which, accord
ing to the Pail Mall Gazette, has the
merit of being true. Leo XIIl., with all
his virtues, has, like all mOr.ais, also his
small defects, one of which, as is well
known, is closeness with regard to money
matters. Some members Of his family
cannot, however, be accused of this trait.
and have consequently got into trouble.
One of these, who stands very near the
Pontiff, when almost at the end of his re-
sources, remembered that Leo XIII. not
long ago had sold a vineyard belonging to
the family in common, without ever speak
ing of dividing the proceeds. The young
man, spurred on by necessity, took his
courage in both hands and went to the
POntiff.
Alter much circumlocution, he arrived
at the point of asking for what he con-
sidered his "share."
"Sharep exclaimed the Pope, with be-
nevolence. "My son, have you not been
TO the Church of the Stigmata' Have you
not seen there the family chapel, the
paintings, the portraits OF your grandmoth-
er and your two uncles, and the pictures
of St. Camille, your own patron, and st.
Sylvia, the patron of your grandmother
There, my son, is where your share has
gone"
This pious devotion to ones house may
be admirable in the abstract. but rather
trying in the concrete.
