my aunt's son. and was navigator of
the Raleigh during the battle. | know
that my father thinks him good Of

THE last time / saw my father was
when I accompanied him to the depot
after he had been put in command of
the Asiatic squadron. and shook
hands with him at the depot. AS the
train was ready to start grasped his
hands again and said hoped he would

HE replied, oh, yes, George I think
I will, you know. I'll be the first COM
modore to command the Asiatic squa-
dron since Perry. There ought to be
something In that. Then he laughed
and the train went on it's way"

ADMIRAL DEWEY HAS NO POLITICS.
IS NO POLITICIAN.
Does No, Want TO be President and IL Satisfied
With His Present Position Generous Trib-
utes OF the People Are Dear TO Him.

Should Admiral Dewey receive the
nomination next year for the presi-
dency there IL no doubt but that his
unquestioned popularity would land
him In the chief executives chair.
Politicians. representing different par
ties are aware of this and have been
very urgent In pressing the famous
admiral to accept the honor. But he Is
obdurate and his views on the subject
of the Presidency are contained in the
following statement to Leslie's
Weekly correspondent.
IL am sailor. A sailor has no poll
itcs The administration is his party
and, Republican or Democrat II makes
no difference. Then, again, | come
from Vermont and you know what
that means. 10 be anything hut Re-
publican In Vermont Is to be man
without party. My flag lieutenant
comes from Georgia. He tells me that
to be anything but n Democrat I'm the
South is to be n nobody. If ! lived
South | would probably be u Demo-
crat"
Have you voted?" the correspond
ent asked.
"Yes years ago: but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer
cnce or local conditions. | am not n
politician. and have never held politl-
cal Office, and am totally ignorant OF
party intricacles and affiliations"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
well along in life to consider such u
possibility His health would not adj
nit It, All his life's work was In diff
ferent lines of effort and that while
the Kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him and the
generous tributes of the American peo-
pie were dear to him. he could not and
would not be n candidate for the
presidency of the United states under
any conditions

Ice Gorge Causes a Stream to Overflow md Four
Lives Are Lost.
An ice gorge in the Yellowstone river
at Glendive, Mont, caused that stream
to overflow Sunday night, drowning
four persons. Eight more are missing;
three spans of the steel bridge are
washed out, causing a loss of $4,000;
the Northern Pacific tracks are mum
dated, and possibly washed away foi'
some distance and the loss to live
stock by drowning will involve large
sum. The dead persons are: Mrs. H.

lie Reagan. her niece: Miss Rose wy
becht. a visitor to the Snydsr ranch:
Eugene +. O'Connor.
The missing are: James sullivan,
wife and six children.
The Snyder party. noticing the back
water started for the Northen Pacific
tracks, hoping thus to escape drown
ing but before they covered half the
distance the water was waist deep and
they took refuge in n tree. OConnor
was the first to be washed from the
tree, Mrs Snyder the second and Miss
Wybecht the third. A huge piece Of
ice struck the tree and broke 1t in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan. 1t Is
thought that the family of James Sui
livan. wife and six children were swept
away by the overflow.
