ADMIRAL DEWEY will not accent 4

ADMIRAL DEWEY will not accept the
home which the American people are
preparing to present him. He has
cabled a friend in Washington that he
must decline to accept it, but that if a
fund was raised for that purpose he
would take the money and invest it in
a home for sick and disabled sailors.
1t is understood that there will be an
effort to make the fund as large as
possible and that the committee will
willingly accede to the admiral's wishes
and permit him to buy and furnish a
home for sailors. There is no question
that Washington viii be selected as the
site for the home.

The statement is made that the health

SUPERVISOR SIMPSON, of the Indian
schools in the Chickasaw nation, in the

the interior department, says there is
great need of schools for white chill

he says, will compare favorably with
the civilization in many of the western

The Indians provide good schools for
their children, but there are no schools
for white children except private
schools and many of the white children
are growing up without any education.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF NECESSARY,
He Says for the Future Prosperity-DOes
Not RECOGNIZE the Unions.

He Says for the Future Prosperity-Does
Not Recognize the Unions.
He said the protective tariff had had
much to do with building up the iron
and steel industry and that the con-
tinuance Of the policy was necessary
to the future prosperity of the indus
try. He said that his consolidation had
been effected last January. A number
of plants that could not be operated
had been shut down. The company en-
plOys 10000 men and wages had been
increased on an average 40 per cent.
The company did not, he said, recOg
nize the trades unions, dealing with it's
men as individuals, and would not rec
Ognize the unions as such.
He said the company controlled all
the barbed wire patents and had a
monopoly III this respect. On this
product a higher charge was made
than on other products because
Of the monopoly of the pat
cnts. This was because of the
money spent in their acquisition. Gen
orally speaking the advance in wire
products had been only prop0rtiOnate
to the increase of the prices of raw
material and Of wages. He considered
chat all these advances had been due
to demand and supply, and not to the
combination.
Gates deprecated the present high
prices of iron and steel products, prin-
cipally because of the high price of
raw material He, however, expressed
the opinion that the present prices
would continue for the next two OF
three years. predicating the opinion
upon his knowledge Of the demands Of
the railroads, the ship yards and the
building trades. He said that his COM
pany was exporting no less than 700
tons of wire per day, supplying Eng
land, for instance, with 60 per cent. Of
the wire products purchased there.
He admitted the goods were sold at
lower rates abroad than at home, but
for the present this was necessary to
hold the outside trade. He had found
that in Germany ell lines Of the iron
and steel industry were syndicated.

sides, and Big Fees for Mammoth Corr
porations with Government Supervision.
Washington, Nov. 15.-In giving his
testimony beforethe industrial commits
sion yesterday John w. Gates, manag
ing director of the American Steel
and Wire company, gave an interest
ing account of his efforts to effect a
consolidation of all wire producing
countries, including all the EurOpeaA
nations. He said he had visited Great
Britain, France, Germany, Belgium
and other countries for this purpose.
Germany he found to be the principal
competitor, England's work in that re
spect not being sufficient to deserve
serious consideration. In Germany the
one source of fear in manufacturing
centers was competition with the Unit
ed States, and bounties and subsidies
were given on every hand to hold up
the manufacturing interests Of that
country.
NOuAA NOC &ASA HAGA CAO OcEAh0ASs
The German manufacturers first pro-
posed that in case of an international
consolidation the United States should
be content with % per cent. of the pro-
duct. This he had declined, and they
had afterWard increased the allowance
to 80 per cent. He had run away from
Berlin to avoid accepting this allow
ance. He had himself represented the
possibility of increasing prices to the
extent of about $40 per ton in case of
the proposed amalgamatiOn, but found
that the Germans had in view an in
crease of about 500 per ton.
Puts in a Good Word for Subsidies.
In this connection Gates commended
in high terms the German method of
encouraging the producing and export
ing interests, saying that if the govern
ment of the United States would
adopt the plan there pursued they
soon would be doing 90 per cent. Of
the iron and steel business of the
world. He advocated subsidies to
steamship lines and to national cor
porations of $500O,000 capitalization
and over. He would have the corpora
tons pay Literally for such charters
in the beginning, and then have them
pay large sums annually for the con-
tinuance of the franchise, increasing
the amount as the capitalization in
creased until the annual fee should be
no less than $1,000,0OO for COM
pany capitalized at $100O00,O00. He
advocated government supervision OF
all such corporations.

Dickhaut. He speaks of the difficulties
of campaigning in the islands and the
hardships of the soldiers. In his opin-
ion the war is now merely question
of few months, for with larger forces
our men can easily occupy the places
that they capture. The men catch
monkeys, of which there is a large
number in the islands and then match
them against dogs. Hayes is not one
of the men who is anxious to return.
He likes the islands and the occasional
fighting.
A bachelor is a coward and failure:
