DEWEY TALKS.

Says He Has Been Accorded Flattering
Reception.
LONDON, August THE Naples
correspondent of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs the substance of an interview
ne has had with Admiral Dewey, who is
represented as having said:
Il was given to understand that the
American victories over Spain had ex-
cited ill-feeling against us in Europe,
but so far as l am concerned. the re-
ception given me could not have been
more fiattering. 1t will give me pleas
ure to say this when l return to Amer
lea and l shall be happy to do what |
can to dissipate any American preju-
dices against Europe excited by criti-
cisms on American civilization"
Admiral Dewey, according to the
Daily Mails correspondent. declined to
talk regarding the Philippines, but the
correspondent asserts that he has the
best reason to know that Admiral
Dewey does not share the pessimistic
views of some Americans about the pos
sibility of subjugating the insurgents"

A MOTHERS CRIME.

GREENTOWN, O., August 6.-Ruth
Schwartz, aged 16, was killed by her
mother, Mrs. Catherine Wise, this
morning. The mother then went a mile
and a half and threw herself into a
pool of water at an abandoned stone
quarry. Her body was fished out by
neighbors this afternoon.
The facts brought out by an inves-
tigation of the county coroner to-day
are that the young girl, who is unmar-
ried, was in & condition which distract
ed her mother, who declared she would
find some way to save her daughter.
During the night the mother arose.
went down stairs and slashed her
daughters throat with a razor, which
was left lying on a table in the room.
In her struggle for life the girl threw
ND her hands, which were cut with the
razor.

A LONG VAR
Ahead Of Mexico Before the Rellions
Indians in chihuahua are Sub
dued.

AUSTIN, Texas, August Ga spe-
cial despatch received here to-day
from Terragas, Chihuahua, Mexico,
which is located near the scene OF the
Yaqua uprising, is to the effect that
the Indians are arranging for a pro-
longed war; The despatch says:
The Mexican government will need
long time and big force OF troops
to quell the rebellion. The Yaquis are
better prepared now than ever before
for long and bloody campaign. They
are all we'll fixed financially, nearly all
of them having saved $500 per head,
which the Mexican government paid
them when they signed the treaty OF
peace, two years ago. They nave peen
making money since then, too, and It
is known that they have been laying
in big supply OF arms and ammuIl-
ton for some time past. 1t has been
common talk among the American
prospectors in the Yaqui valley that
the Indians were preparing for anoth-
er outbreak, but as the braves had al
ways shown a friendly spirit towards
the Americans it was thought they
would net modest them when they did
go on the warpath. They are deter
mined to recover all of their lost coun-
try, however, and will kill everybody
they find within the limits OF their old
possessions.
The despatch also says that a num-
Der of miners and ranchmen in and
near Cocori, had been slain and their
property laid waste.

a CANADIAN BLUFF.
The Forces in British Columbia to be
Largely Increased.


CHICAGO, August GA special to
the Record from Victoria, B. c., says:
The imperial government and the
Dominion authorities have decided to
increase both the regular military and
militia forces on this station, the Pa
ciic coast depot of the British army
and navy. Coming at time when the
relations between Canada and the
United States are acknowledged by
Premier Laurier to be rather strained
over the Alaskan boundary question, it
looks as if Britain and Canada were
determined to assert their claim to
those portions of Alaska demanded by
Canada by force of arms if necessary.
Be this as it may, the garrison is to
be at once greatly increased. The bar
racks ON MacAuley Point, where the
big forts are situated, which, with their
long reaching disappearing guns, COM
mand the entrance to the Straits Of San
Juan de Fuca, will soon be the home Of
more than treble the number of en-
gineers, marine artillery, sappers and
other united service men than are now
quartered there.

The strike, which was ordered and
sanctioned by Typographical Union No.
6, was ratified to-day in Teutonia Hall
at one of the largest and most enthu-
siastic meetings ever held. by the
union. The meeting unanimously
passed a resolution Offering the entire
funds of the union, amounting to $40,-

rem in case of necessity. A telegram

said tonight that he had assumed the
duties and responsibilities of the office
with full knowledge OF the task i'm
posed upon him.

battle has commenced and we hope that
our side will win. All we can do is TO

At the headquarters of the union to-
night the rooms were crowded with
strikers and the sympathizers. The
talk was mainly over the expected ar
rival of non-union printers said to be
en- route from Philadelphia by steamer.
1t was said that the steamer had passed
Long Branch this afternoon. Pickets
were sent out by the strikers and in
structed to watch all of the possible

A CHILD VICTIM.
A Horrible Murder in Washington
City by a Pension Office Examiner.

WASHINGTON, August Ga horri-
BILE murder was eommitter to-day in the
northeastern section of the city The
murderer was Benjamin H. Smell. a
Special examiner in the pension office,
a man of about forty-five years of age.
His victim was Liza Weissenberger, a
girl thirteen years of age, who had been
employed in his household until few
months ago, when she was taken home
by her parents, who became suspicious
of SHELLS conduct towards her Smell
seemed to be infatuated with the child
and paid her great deal of attention,
which, however, she resented. This
morning Smell went to his victims
house, and entering at the front door,
passed ON through the middle room,
where the girl was sleeping, to the din
ing room door. While standing at the
door, the mother ordered him out of the
house. Smell started to go, passing
again through the room where the
child was.
He bent over the sleeping child and
drew her from the bed. Awakened sud
denly, she screamed in terror. Twist
ing one hand in the girls hair and
throwing back her head, Smell drew a
razor from his pocket and swept it
across her throat. Twice he slashed
her throat and once he missed, cutting
a great piece of flesh from her cheek.
The head was almost severed from the
body, and both the murderer and his
victim were drenched with blood. At
tracted by the child's screams. the
mother ran to the rescue. In a frenzy
she grappled with the murderer and
was badly slashed with the razor. The

ton stepped in to make a change. 1t
was decided to leave him free to choose
his own career, and to release him
from such debasing works as feeding
the hogs and making the family sup
ply of soft soap. Parents, keep an eye
on your boys. If there is born orator
among them give him a chance to bios
som out and climb the hill of fame.
The cooper business is good business
We must have barrels and kegs, and
bung-holes, and all that, but we need
heroes more than we need coopers
Up to his 18th yeaS young Hope
seemed undecided as to what sort OF a
career to adopt. The world was open
to him. He wobbled between a mill
tary and civil career. but his natural
gift Of oratory finally decided him to
adopt the latter, and he began 10 study
craftsmanship. At bhe same time he
opened a real estate and insurance Of
fee. and took orders for coal and wood
and negotiated loans on mortgages.
Our next picture represents him adj
dressing a Fifth ward caucus. He
lacked several years yet Of being a
voter, but with wonderful foresight and
acumen ne grasped the great political
issues Of the day and discussed them in
a manner TO startle the old wheel
horses and ward heelers. 1t was due
to his speech that Alderman Brown was
elected by 81 majority and a lateral
sewer built in Jay street. That was
his entrance into craftsmanship. A
year later his silver tongue named the
candidate who was elected Mayor, and
frcaa thence on his career was onward
and upward. Men sought to bTibe him
ard to bluff him, but he could not be
severed from the patch OF integrity He
had an end in view. and he was de-

fermired to attain 1t. Even VII 81 they
offered to give the father d paving con-
tract by which he could have swindled
the city out Of $4,000 if the son would
go into ring to bring about the cleo
ticn of a certain candidate, young Hope
did not waver for moment. He knew
the old man was down TO hard-pan and
having hard time of it, but ne could
, not sacrifice his principles.
Our next picture represents our
young hero as member OF the Legis-
lature at the age of II. His first ballot
was cast for himself The opposition
candidate was brewer, and though he
had hundred kegs on tap that day in
tegrity was warcry which could not
be overcome. 1t is needless for me
to tell you that young Jones made his
mark in the Legislature. He took his
place with determination to become
leader of men, and the records show
that his aims were accomplished. 1t
was his voice which was raised in pro-
test against the free slaughter Of
muskrats along the marshes of Lake
Erie; to his clarion notes, backed by
incontestible statistics, is due the fact
that no farmer in Ohio can wake his
hired man up befo,x 8 o'clock in the
morning. 1t was his arguments and his
earnest work which defeated the bill
making it a misdemeanor for any
tramp to scratch his back on a barbed-
wire fence in the Buckeye State.
When @. Hope Jones had served his
term as Legislator he was ready to
move upward and onward. There
were those who predicted that he
would not stop short of the Presidency.
In brief time delegation waited up
on him and offered him the nomination
of Governor. 1t was then that a cruel
