THE WANDERING BOY.

Oh. where is my wandering boy tonight?
don't care a fig for the girl;
just leave her outside in all of her blight,
To face the cold frowns OF the world
1 never once dreamed she could serve us
like this,
After all the instruction she's had;
Yet there's her deceiver, poor boy, he's
all right,
Come home, my poor, wandering lad.
Oh, where is my wandering boy tonight?
Please bring him right back to me;
gold,
His dear, loving face see.
We will make him feast as ir. scrip,
ture of old
That will set his head all in whirl;
When the guests are assembled and the
dance going on,
Outside stands the poor little girl.
Perchance to the dance hall in frenzy
she's turned,
ouo uoW udS uO uotuo VI uoE OWL,
Say, who shall condemn her, please an
swer me this,
By letting him cast the first stone.
Oh, where is my wandering boy tonight?
Go search for him where you will,
From the slums Of the gutter, in any sad
plight,
Just tell him love him still!

pendent.

DAWSON C1TY'S LOSS.

Skaguay-A dispatch just received
from Lake Bennett, says:
The principle business portion OF Daw
son is in ashes. This ia the most disast-
rous fire occupied on April 81. The
news was brought out by man named
Toklas. who arrived here last night.
The fire commenced near the opera
mouse OF the water front, destroying
everything on that street down to and
in Guiding Donohue and Smiths es.ab-
lishment. also the water front buildings
abreast of the same blocks
The FIRE spread to Second street and
consumed everything from Timmohs'
Royal Cafe, down to opposite the Fair
view hotel.
The entire business center was de-
stroyed. Among the prominent busin
ess firms burned out we're the Royal
cafe, Donohue and Smiths, Mcclellan
and McFelly, Parsons produce com-
p.ny. Aurora saloon, Bodega Madden
house, Victoria hotel, Mcdonald block,
the bank Of British North America, and
scores of smaller firms.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000
900. The buildings being Of tinder, the
flames spread with much rapidity.
The citizens appeared to be panic
stricken and unable to save anything
in the way Of furniture, goodsand cloth
ing.
The fire came at q time when the
mills and dealers in building materials
were depleted Of their winter supplies
and waiting the opening Of navigation
to replenish their stocks. As a result
there is famine in all kinds Of building
material and furnishings such a. sash
doors, locks, hinges, etc. A few articles
still remaining outside the burnt dis
trict have quadrupled in price.
Doors are selling at $500 each, and
door locks at $500 each, and every
thing else in proportion. Nothing in the
way Of rebuilding can be done until the
opening Of navigation, several weeks
from now, a. there is not over 5000 feet
Of lumber in the place.
The fro was caused by drunken wo-
man upsetting lamp in a notorious
house.

WANTS MORE GUNB0ATs.
Admiral Dewey Urges Navy Depart
ment to Hasten Supplies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE navy
department has received a long cipher
cable dispatch from Admiral Dewey,
making acquisitions for ships and sup
plies urgently needed on the Asiatic
station. The admiral reiterated the re-
quest he has made several times in the
last few weeks that additional light
draught gunboats should be sent to
him, Notwithstanding the fact that Sec
rotary Long informed him yesterday
that the Castine was starting imme
diately by way of Suez, and other YES
sells would follow when they could be
spared. A reply was sent to the adj
miral today that the Bennington, now
on her way from Honolulu to make
surveys at Guam, would be ordered to
Manila, and the Machias, now repair
ing at Portsmouth, N. H, would follow
the Castine through the Mediterranean
in a few weeks on her way to join his
fleet. a..sa-
Secretary Long added a request to
Admiral Dewey to designate specifical-
ly any other gunboatS he desired, in.
order that the department might graf
ify him if possible. The authorities
recognize the advisability Of sending
all the gunbOats that can be spared to
the Asiatic station on account of-their
adaptability to service in the archi-
pelago, but in addition to the Concord
and Petrol, which are now at Iloilo,
the Helena is at Port Said on her way
to Manila, and Admiral Dewey now
has in commission the Callao, the Ma
Mia, the Culgoa and the Barcelo, which
he captured from the SpaniardS, and in
a few weeks the Isla de Luzon and the
1Sla de Cuba, which he raised and sent
to Hong Kong, will be manned by crews
sent out on the Buffalo. He also has
the captured gunboats Leyte and Min
danao, awaiting crews, and when the
Machias, the Castine and the Benning-
ton join him, he will have thirty vessels
under his command, not counting the
Oregon and the Iris, which will soon
be at Honolulu awaiting orders to go
to his support. Such large fleet has
never, in times of peace, been under
the command of a single American Of
fcer, but the department has such con-
fidence in the admiraPs judgment that
it will not hesitate to send him any fur
Their reinforcements that he demands
In his dispatch Admiral Dewey calls
for large quantities of plug tobacco
soap and American food. His demand
for more plug tobacco is explained in
letters which recently reached Wash
ington from officers of the feet, telling
! how tired the men are of Philippine
cigars, and how they miss their sweet
ened navy plug and their clay pipes.
| To carry these needed supplies the de-
partment decided today to fit up the
! auxiliary cruiser Yankee, or her sister
ship, the Prairie, and load them full of
| necessities, sending them to Manila by
way of the Suez canal. These vessels
are now at League island, but one of

NEW YORK, Jan. THE New York
Stats Zeitung will publish the follow
ing tomorrow from it's special Berlin
correspondent:
II am informed, from a \ reliable
source, that after the surrender Of
Iloilo, the Spanish general tried to in
duce the German consul at Ma
Mia and the German vice consul
at Iloilo to take charge of the pro-
lection Of the private interests of the
Spaniards. The two consuls wired to
Berlin for instructions and received the
following answer:
The German empire being a neutral
power is not in a position to take
charge of functions which could easily
be construed as partially for Spain.
All we endeavor to obtain in the Phil
ippines is protection and unrestricted
movement Of our commerce. Since we
see that both are secured under the
United States flag we are fully con-
fident that there will not ever arise a
situation which could cause us to de-
viate from the strictly neutral atti-
tude observed by US up to this day"
The correspondent adds that the
Washington government has been in
formed of this communication.

EXECUTIVE APPROPRIATION.
House Practically Completes 1t, Saw
Civil Service Item.

House Practically Completes 1t, Save
Civil Service Item.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE house
Of representatives was engaged all day
In the legislation of the executive APP
preparation bill and completed it sub
stantially as reported, except the items
for the civil service commission which
went over until Monday There were
several side debates today. One of
these brought out Mr.. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, in q speech Of an hour on current
political questions. Mr.. Grosvenor
then outlined the platform Of the two
parties, dwelling specifically on the
low tariff and silver policies of the
Democrats and the high tariff and gold
standard proclivfties Of the Republic
ans. The result of the Republican
policy. he said, was already seen in the
increase of our exports, bringing gold
to this country and stopping the revo-
luton of the endless chain, about which
SO much had been heard under the
Democratic administration of Mr.
Cleveland. The issue had been clearly
cut and distinctly decided and the
Democratic orators had dwelled upon
the menace of maintaining the gold
standard.
The most unfortunate utterance a
public man ever made" he said, was
Mr.. Bryan's frequent inquiry upon
coming into towns. whether general
prosperity had yet arrived That in
curry was, he commented, beneath
the dignity Of a great man, man
made great by a great issue, if not by
his own personal magnitude. The Chi
nese wall Of foreign trade had been
broken down and for the first time in
our history Europe was looking to
the United States to fix the rate of
exchange. He maintained that while
there had been an unprecedented in
crease In the revenues derived from
abroad on our agricultural products,
the expectation of our manufacturers
had kept even pace with them"
He proceeded in some detail to show
that American trade was penetrating
all corners Of the earth and winning
for us the envy and admiration of man
kind, continuing with an appeal to the
country to sustain the policy, which
was doing SO much for u.s.
Mr.. Underwood Dem, Ala) replied
briefly to Mr.. Grosvenor, urging the
futility of high tariff in securing pros
perity and the argument of the party
| in power on financial questions
Mr. Cox Dem., Tenn.) also took I'D
the political theme arguing that if the
| government was on a gold standard,
| 1T was not due to any legislation by
| the party in power, but through the
course Of the secretary Of the treasury.
The Philippines also came in for at
! tentlon on the discovery of an item of
| $4,000 for naval charts of the islands.
| The item was ruled out on a point Of
order by Mr.. Dockery, the chairman,
Mr.. Payne holding that the Philippines
were still foreign territory, and as such
| not the proper subject of the legisla-
/ ton proposed.

these reports he had CLEANED from con-

derstood that there was general verbal
complaint as to the timed beef.

made to Gen. Miles after their return

conversations just referred to- and said
| in part that some of the hospital sur

pearance, and one surgeon, witness did
not remember the name, had ordered
some of it buried.
