DEWEY'S MAIL
The Admiral Deluged With Letters
Congrdtulating Hin On Reaching
His Sixty-tflird Birthday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Admiral
Dewey's mail was considerably heavier
than usual today owing to the receipt
of scores of letters of congratulation
on the occasion of his sixty -thi rd birth
day. There was no observance of the
anniversary planned in the Dewey
household, but it was nevertheless
found necessary to keep open house
the greater part of the day in order to
receive the many friends and admirers
of the admiral who called to offer their
personal congratulations.
Under ordinary circumstances today
would have ended the naval career of
Admiral Dewey, as sixty-three is the
age fixed by law for the retirement of
officers of the navy. But under the law
which made him admiral in the navy
he does not come under the rules
which apply to other naval Off Gers.
He may continue to do active duty, as
did Admiral Porter, until his death,
although in the event of his retirement
he suffers no decreao in his pay of

BY WIRE
Received BY the Contractors
To Stop Everything And
Await Mail Or
ders

"Have ordered Sorensen & Morgan
| to stop work. Place watchman on
building day and night. Will write"
This brief telegram to Horace B. Stew
ems from Mr.. Sheldon contains as much
actual knowledge as to the cause of
the cessation of work on the Sheldon
building as any one in Ell Paso has.
The telegram is one of three which
came yesterday from Mr.. Sheldon.
| The other two were to Sorensen &
Morgan, and William 81. Ratten-
| bury, contractors, peremp torily notify
ing them to stop work, and stating that
instructions would folio W by mail.
Accordingly no work has been done
since Saturday on the Sheldon build
ing.
There is no reason 1 can give'' said
Horace B. Stevens this morning, ''for
the stoppage of work. 1t may be
stringency in the money market. It
may be a sudden change in plans. I
cannot tell. I know nothing more
than is contained in the telegram. I
expect an explanatory letter Friday
Mr.. Stevens is regarded as closer to
Mr.. Sheldon than any one else in Ell
Psso, and is the agent of the building.
None of the contractors could ex-
plain the cause of it all.
The contractors have been at work
since Decent Der II on the building and
have torn out all the partition work on
the two upper floors, aud have done
some excavating in the basement.
The iron work for the remodeled
structure has been hauled to the
building and is ready for use. It is es-
timated to have cost $1,000. The loss
in rents to date has been $500, and
the additional cost of Mr. Parfitt's vis-
its aud plans, and the contractors work
30 far done, makes q total to date of
$4,000 expended on thu build ing.
This makes it all the more inexplic.
able why the order for q cha nge has
been made.
When Mr.. Parfitt was here and
advertised for bids, all received for the
carpenter work were considered too
high. They were accordingly. rejec ted,
and the work let on a day to day basis
to Sorensen and Morgan for the
carpenter work. All the other work
was let by contract.
A general supposition is that Mr..
Sheldon had figured on q cost of S35 900;
that the total cost, under the contracts
let, would foot up 5000; and that
when Mr.. Parftt and Mr.. Fischer
went on east and SO informed him, the
work was ordered stopped while re-
trenchments we're made.
The incident has created much in
terest among business men and there
is great and general curiosity to know
the cause of the delay.

war;
Upon FL Paso Senator Ingalls, in ter
viewed the reporter more than he was
interviewed. He was eager to know
all about it, it's people, its morals, It's
institutions, and its business. After
possessing himself of most of our in
formation on the subject, he said:
Geographically Ell Paso is the finest
situated city in the southwest, without
doubt. 1t seems to have
all the natural advantages
that city could have,
save that of navigable water. Its
climate is superb and it has many
things which will attract people to it.
AS a health resort it is bound to draw
heavily from the north. 1t Is destined
unquestionably to be big city, re-
CARELESS of the efforts OF it's citizens to
make it so, though their efforts
will. of course. make it ell the
g reater.
SIT looks to me as if the southwest
will be the garden spot of the country
one day, and Ell Paso will probably be
its chief city"
Senator Ingalls, was asked about the
attack upon him by Texas women for
the recent article by him on women in
the New York Journal. The Ell PasO
Woman's club, by the way, refused to
take any notice of the article, "a many
other Texas women's clubs did. The
senator smiled and said: "The state
ment made was merely q philosophical
one, containing no charges against
women whatever. The comment which
it stirred up and the letters which
received from women all over the
Texas Included merely proved
the facts which they asserted the
article stated and which they at
tempted to disprove."

EX-SENATOR
INGALLS,
Thinks Ell. Paso the Finest
City In the Southwest
ITS CLIMATE SUPERB
And 1t Is Destined To Be the Chief
City Of the Greatest Garden
Spot In the United States.

A tall, spare figure, clad in yellow
house jacket, was sitting at a small table
surrounded by pile of manuscript,
afternoon sun streaming in upon his
silvery hair. This was ex-senator
John J. Ingalls,, of Kansas, into whose
DOM at the Orndorff a reporter for the
HERALD was ushered on Sunday after
noon. The figure wss a little thinner
than 1t was when the ex-senator was in
Washington, the cheeks a little more
sunken, the lines of the face little
deeper, the hair a trife grayer, but it
was the same ingalls,, courteous, cor
dial, easy and entertaining, bright and
sharp in conversation, not stilted or
cold.
AS he says, Senator Ingalls, is now a
newspaper man himself, though he
didn't have to begin by covering police
stations or writing personals. The
newspaper work is not of his own
choosing, though he admits that he
finds it very congenial and the next
best thing to talking. After his re-
covery from an attack of the grip last
spring the senator's voice almost left
him. He has been able to speak since
only In low, hoarse key. His forensic
power destroyed, his only resort vas
his pen and he has used it as
strongly rs he used his voice formerly.
The loss of his voice, which was an ex-
ceedingly powerful one-he could ad
dress $4,000 people outof doors, feat
which but few orators ever attempt
was asore trial to the senator. He is
spending his time now travelling, to
regain it. He has been since October
on the Alameda ranch near Las Cruces.
He arrived in Ell Paso Friday and left
this morning for Tucson, where he will
spend some time. He expects later to
visit Mexico and California.
. The senator was wary in his CONVEX
sation. He said: ''Since 1 am news
paper writer now myself, 1 have to
husband my ideas for my own use.
On. the present political situation 1
have only to say that 1 am a republi-
can. That covers the whole ground of
my views on current political matters.

. WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The British

destined for Lorenzo Marquee, is be-
ing closely watched by the revenue
