sent to the admiral and elected from him
the following letter:
WASHINGTON, October 26. 1899.
Dear Sir: | acknowledge the receipt this
day of the title deeds to the beautiful house
presented to me by my countrymen. NV
heart Is full of gratitude to them for this
overwhelming expression of their regard
for me, and L request that you Will also
accept and convey to the committee my
heartfelt thanks for your and their efforts
Very sincerely yours,
"(signed) GEORGE DEWEY.
Hon. Frank 4. Vanderlip, Chairman
Dewey Home Committee, Treasury De-
partment, Washington, d. c."
1t was the original intention that the
name Of every contributor to the Dewey
fund should appear in the deed, but this
was decided to be impracticable. The
name of every contributor will be placed
in an engrossed book and turned over to
the admiral in this form. The book will
be beautifully engrossed.
Admiral Dewey extended his personal
thanks to Mr.. Vanderlip for the facility
which he had shown in carrying through
the transaction and for his busness-like
methods. He also thanked Treasurer
Roberts.
Mr.. Vanderlip will give a dinner Tuesday
night of next week at his apartments at
the Cairo to Admiral Dewey and the mem
bers of the committee which has done SO
much to secure a home for the great ad-
mlral.

policy of the administration has greatly ex-
banded.
Positive Chinese Policy


The assertion comes from an authorita-
tive source that this government will main
tain the American interests In China and is
prepared to notify any of the powers MAX
ing move in that direction that the pres
ent status in China shall not be disturbed
without our consent
Under present conditions most of the
Chinese ports of Importance to foreign
trade have been made treaty ports with
practically free entry, and this govern
ment has the same rights and privileges in
them that are possessed by other powers.
1t is the policy of this government to main
tain these privileges under whatever
changed conditions may be brought about.
III there is to be any scramble over the
least we will put our hand into the pud-
ding up to the armpit.
A government which has actually ac-
quired possession of territory has under
the laws of nations the right to nullify
treaties made by a former power over the
acquired land and to make such treaties.
laws and regulations governing foreign
trade as it may see fit. That would be the
case with respect to China should any gov
ernment get possession of the ports with
out any conditions precedent. but II IS the
purpose Of the United States to require as
condition to the acquisition Of any of the
Chinese territory where we now have
treaty rights by another government that
these treaty rights shall be maintained and
respected. The interests of the United
States and Great Britain lie in the same
direction, and it is understood that they
will be maintained together, without the
formality of any treaty or alliance.

ALUMINUM TO SUPPLANT COPPER
Will Be Used Conductor of Elec-
tricity on Chicago Road.

CHICAGO, October 26-The Record says:
Aluminium is to have its first important
trial as a commercial conductor of electric
ity on the Northwestern elevated road.
Twenty miles of inch and a half cables are
to be strung to distribute the motive power
to the trolley rails of the road. Aluminium
displaces copper on the road because Of its
cheapness. Copper has almost doubled in
price within a twelve-month, while the
lighter metal has dropped shade in the
scale. James R. Chapman, the electrical
engineer in charge of the new road. says:
After copper, aluminium is the best con-
ductor among the cheaper metals An
aluminium wire has the additional advan-
tage of being lighter to handle and of being
non-corrosive"
According to Mr.. Chapman, a perfect
joint has been made possible by a solder in
vented by Chicago man.

Severity of the Rifle Fire.
Other accounts dwell on the severity of

inflicted severe loss on them. The retreat,
it is added, ended in rout.
1t Is announced in a dispatch from Lady
smith, dated the 23d. that strong reinforce
nents of infantry and artillery have ar
rived there from Ptetermaritzburg.
1t was reported that the Beers were again
massing near Elandslaagte, and that a

There is little news from the western

that a flying squadron Will shortly be sent

The Beers have occupied Wfndsorton, an
unprotected town. The magistrate, with
the consent of the inhabitants, surrendered

Plans and Data of Government Off,
cials.
PROPOSED LINE OF FOUR LINKS
The Matter Likely to Be Sent to
Congress.
CONNECTING OUR ISLANDS

In official and diplomatic quarters atten-
ton is being directed to the question OF a
Pacific cable linking this country with the
Philippines and points beyond, and Il Is
understood this government and those for
eign governments which would be affected
by the cable are now actively considering
the subject.
The officials here are assembling data and
preparing cable maps with the expectation
that the matter Will be brought TO the early
attention Of Congress when il ASSEMBLIES
In a general way the project is for a cable
OF four links, viz, from San Francisco To
Hawaii, 2,l20 miles; from Hawaii 10 Wake
Island, 2o44 miles; from Wake Island To
Guam, 1.2g3 miles: from Guam to Manila,
l,;'5o mics. These Landing points are an

and.
This would connect all the American pos
sessions in the Pacific by line cross .ug no
foreign territory. Besides this the plaza
permits of an extension so as to secure Two
outlets to Asia and the far east. The ii rS-
of these would be from Manila TO the Is
land of Formosa, the Japanese island, from
which point Japan has built a line TO the
japanese coast and the mainland of Asia
The second outlet would be from Hawaii
south 10 Tanning Island, at which poirt
the newly projected British cable from
dnCOuNtr 10 New zealand crosses.
Plans of Officials.
The foregoing have nothing to do with
any private enterprises, but are the plans
of those officials who are considering the
interests of the government. II is roughly
estimated that the stretch to Manila would
cost about SS.JOO.oo1. At present the gov
ernment messages cost SD a word. or
only a small reduction from the regular
rate of $40 word. The special rate on
pressing messages runs as high as $40
word.
In the projected government cable it is
considered that the government would not
only be free from these charges, and from
the supervision OF the foreign companies
now handling the business but that the
line being opened 10 the public and com
mercial uses at a reasonable rate would
afford facilities for the expanding trade Of
the Pacific, and at the same time yield
considerable return to the government.
Foreign governments which would be af-
fected by this project-uOtably Russia. Ja-
pan and Great Britain-are beginning to
show some concern over it, and it is under
stood that the government has been sounded

Chicago School Board Considering a
System of Inspection.

CHICAGO. October 26.-The board of ed
ucation is meditating a campaign against
diphtheria and scarlet fever in the public
schools. Physicians and bacterologists
will pass upon a childs freedom from in
fectious disease before he is permitted to
enter any of the city's class rooms, if the
plan which DIR. w. S. Christopher of the
board will submit to the committee on
school management this afternoon finds IA
vor with a majority Of the trustees. Its
one fault, SAYS a member of the board, is
that it will cost $4,000 year.
DR.. Christopher's scheme is closely mod
eled on the plan in operation in New York
and Boston. He proposes to employ physi-
clans to visit the schools every morning
and examine pupils returning to their class
after an absence of four days or more,
as well as those among the regular attend
ants who exhibit any tendency toward
fever or soreness of the throat.

TURNS UP ALL RIGHT.
Easton, the Missing Journalist In the
Transvaal, With the Beers.

The missing newspaper man, Easton, who
was supposed to have been captpred by the
Beers, has been traced by the State De-
partment and found to be all right. Some
days ago the department received a tele-
gram from his father, the Rev. Mr.. Easton
of Tppecanoe City, Ohio, to the effect that
his son was reported to be prisoner in
the hands of the Beers and requesting that
the Department of State use it's good offices
to secure his release. The department ac-
cordinsly cabled the request to U. S. Con-
sui Macrun. at Pretoria, who has just re-
piled that the story Is false; that young
Easton is at the front with the Boer forces,
and is treated in the best possible manner.
