MAY LOSE THE HOOKER.
Another Unsucccss:uI Effort to Float
the Cable Ship.

| Another Unsuccessful Effort to Float
| the Cable Ship.
| MANILA, August II, p.m-The United
| States warships Baltimore and Concord
| have made an unsuccessful attempt to tow
off the United States transport Hooker,
formerly the Panama, which grounded in
| week ago. 1t is now believed to be impos-
sible to float the Hooker.
The signal office of the War Department
| has no information about the grounding Of
| the Hooker. The Hooker was the old Span
| ish ship Panama, of the first captures
off Havana.
When there came a request early in the
spring for a cable ship, upon the recom-
mendation Of Col. James Allen, the Pana-
ma was selected. Her name was changed
to the Hooker. She was fitted out as a
cable ship and sailed from New York early
in May loaded with telegraph and cable
supplies.
Upon her arrival at Manila about July
1, Gen. Otis had not yet decided where he
wanted the cables laid, and so far as
known here, no cable has been laid by her.
She carried about 1,000 miles of telegraph
wire and telegraph supplies, which have
doubtless been unloaded. But she still has
(about 212 miles) and the cable machinery
If there is danger of her going to pieces on
Corregidor Island, the reports indicate,
the cable and machinery will doubtless be
taken off and saved.

CHICAGO, August ia special to the
Tribune from San Francisco says:
DIR. Jacob G. Schurman. president of the
Philippine commission, who arrived here
on the China last night after being absent
in the orient since January, was seen by
correspondent for the Tribune and asked
for his views regarding the Philippines and
the work of the commission. He said he
could not say anything about the islands
before making his report to President Nc
Kinley. Continuing, he said:
After seeing something of the orient it

Is not Formosa nor the Philippines, but

we'll as the government of Great Britain,

Importance OF Chinese Question.
'These statesmen recognize the future OF
China as the one overshadowing question.
China, they agree should maintain its indie
pendent position, but its doors should be
kept open. 1t means much to England and
Japan and not less to America. There is
hope in the orient among leading men that
China itself may become aroused so that it
may hold its domain intact. But it is not
yet sufficiently awakened. That is the sad
phase of it.
These Chinese are a patient, Industrious
people. They can live in any climate away
in the arctic or far south in the tropics.
Ihey can make money anywhere. Such a
race, it is felt, ought to arouse itself in this
dilemma, but we shall see. Nobody can tell
what will happen"

while Mrs. Sloane was prohibited from
SO doing. Yet within five hours from
the time the divorce was granted Mrs
Sloane was married to Belmontat Green.

divorced and remarked couples in all
the states.

ing to the Salt Lake Tribune, Apostle
Herbert J. Grant, in a speech at the Tab
ernacle in Salt Lake City on Sunday
last, said there was "no disposition any
where to deny that polygamous relations
entered into before 1890 are still con
tinued." Perhaps the apostles will soon
confess, what IS evidently the fact, that
new polygamous marriages are still being
solemnized and consummated through
out Utah, in spite of and in defiance of
the compact.

Commenting on the acquittal of Mrs.

D. Saxton, the Ohio State Journal says:
While the high family connections of
the murdered man gave the trial more
than usual prominence, public interest
in it was chiefly aroused by the sentl-
mental features of the case. To many
people, in fact, the question at stake
was not so much the guilt or innocence
of the accused, as whether high social
standing could be considered a protec-
ton for or justification of gross inioui-
ties and immoralities. By these people
the acqulttal of Mrs. George will be &C
copied as an emphatic negative to this
last proposition.

The Capt. Coghlan incident which
transpirei in New York last week has
again set that lot of fools to bowling
who talk alarmingly about the probable
attitude of German-Americans III case OF
war with their mother country. The
Commandments are Americans to the
backbone and showed themselves as such
in our late Spanish war. They are OPP
posed to Imperialism, mllitarism and OPP
preston, and would fight to uphold the
free government of the United States
that they love as dearly as any of us.
And furthermore the attitude of Ger
many has been in every instance such as
to assure our government of Germany's
sincerest friendship. The emperor has
done everything in his power to amend
alleged wrongs committed by some of
his officers and only jingoism of the yell
lowest type could now find fault with
Germany attitude. The patriotism of
the German.American is beyond all
doubt, but it would be hazardous if the
present administration should assume an
hostile tenure towards the old Father
land not justified by any act on the part
of Germany.
If two do the same thing it is not the
same. The jingnes going wild over
the Prince of Wales, throwing away
their daughters and millions on depraved
and emasculate English mobility is
one thing, the German-American loving
his n alive country is another.
