"A LEISURE VOYAGE HOME.
ADMIRAL Dewey Will Take Four
.4 Months for Trip from Manila
#.s.. to United States.

Manila, May 15.-Admiral Dewey will
leave-for the United States as soon as
he can arrange his business here and
give full instructions for the manage
ment of the fleet to his successor. The
United States, cruiser Olympia, upon
which Admiral Dewey will make the
voyage home, will sail leisurely trip,
stopping at Mediterranean ports for
some time to give the admiral, the Of
ficers of the ship and the crew an OPP
portunity for rest. Like all the Olym-
pia's company, Admiral Dewey is much
run down by his long stay in a tropical
port without change and under the
rigid conditions incident to war foot
ing. &
All are delighted at the prospect of
returning home. The officers have had
little shore leave, and have been obliged
always to be on shipboard by shutdown.
The crew have had still less leave, and
show the effects of a year spent on a
hot ship under an enervating sun.
The. Olympia will proceed from
Manila to Hong-Kong, where fort
night will be spent in Transforming the

ONE STRIKE SETTLED.
Agreement and Will Return
to Work.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 15.-The grain
shovelers will return to work this morn
ing under the agreement reached at
one o'clock Sunday morning at the con-
ference between the lake carriers and
elevator men and grain shovelers. The
agreementprovides that the grain shov-
elers shall receive $1.s5 per 1000 bush
els; that superintendent shall be ap-
pointed by the bishop to guard the in
terests of the men; that local board of
arbitrators shall be appointed to pass
upon any grievances which may arise
in the future, and that IA of Contractor
Corners boss scoopers shall be sus-
pended pending an investigation into
the charges made by the grain shovel
ers that they are identified with saloon
interests or otherwise Objectionable.
Notwithstanding the adjustment of
the grain-shoveling trouble, the tie-up
of the coal and ore docks is said to be
quite as serious as was the strike just
ended. Practically all the coal and ore
handlers, numbering about 1900 men,
are out. The freight handlers, who
struck out of sympathy for the grain
shovelers, now refuse to 20 back until
their wages are raised from Is cents to
IS cents an hour.

Great Crowd Witnesses the Ceremony
No Protest Filed at Any
Time.

New York, May 15.-In the pro-
cathedral on Stanton street Rev. DR..
Charles A. Briggs, who was suspended
for heresy by the Presbyterian assem-
bly,, was ordained priest of the Epis-
copal church. He was ordained together
with Rev. Charles A. Snedeker, and the
ordination ceremonies were conducted
by Bishop Potter. The little church
was crowded with people and the cere
monies were notable for the quietness
that prevailed. Those who expected,
from the great cutlery of the past three
Or -four weeks, conversational features
were disappointed. There was no scene,
no excitement, and no protest was filed
at the beginning, during or at the close
of the ordination. There was nothing
notable in the sermon preached by Rev.
DIR. George William Douglass.
The ceremonies were very long, COM
mencing at 1880 o'clock and continu-
ing until late in the afternoon.

The new destructive weapons of war
do not seem to do much destroying
after all. We are told of savagely-
fought battles in which maxim and
gatling guns are used, of tremendous
bombardments, of desperate storms of
shot hurled against the enemy and
then read that the loss of life on the
part of the foe aggregates from 30 to
so men. And the old-fashioned cyclone
