July 8. next Monday, is the anniversary q
the destruction Of Cervera's feet Ell Santiago
and the officers and crew Of the Brooklyn,
Admiral Schley's flagship, and which bore o
very conspicuous part in the engagement
had made arrangements to celebrate ihe VIC
tory and Admiral Sehley had accepted al m
yitation to be present. The BROOKLYN has
been undergoing repairs at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. Her orders were to reload ammunition
and re-eoal upon completion and await orders.
The cruiser is about ready to 60 TO sea, or IS
expected to be tomorrow. and has been or
dered to sail for Newport. though without
either coal or ammunition, uap;ha TO be used
until coal is procured.
This order hurrying the Brooklyn away and
thus preventing the officers and crew from
holding the contemplated celebration, IS re
garded as direct attempt Of the Navy De
partment to belttle Admiral Schicy. Inc
country regards Schley the hero Of Santiago.
but the Navy Department persists 10 giving
the honor and credit to Sampson, who was
many miles away. The only reason that can
be assigned for this persecution Of Schiey by
the Mckinley Administration is because he
is Southern born man and Democrat,
while Sampson is Northern born aud Re
publican. Such narrowness is contempuble,
and thousands of people who believe in fair
ness and business Will express their contempt
in the fall elections, not only in Maryland,
but throughout the country

Strong Anti-Lowndes Feeling.

That there is considerable anti-Lowndes
sentiment among the Republicans was de-
monstrated this week. 1t was shown IN an
attempt to bring out Elk Postmaster General
Gary for Governor. Before Mr.. Gary could
give positive decleusion through interviews,
the anti Lo@ndes feeling was beginning to
show up quite strong. Mr.. Gary, however,
not only declined to become a candidate, but
on the other hand declared himself for Mr.
Lowndes, and said he ought to be renomI
mated This will probably end the attempt
to get candidate in opposition to the Gov
ernor, and the opponents Of Mr.. Lowndes
can express their ideas of him aud his adj
ministration in November at the polls.

The Kent Netcs has been in existence for
sixty-two years. During that time it has seen
many changes; this country has increased over
twenty told; printing has made mere advances
than any other art, and the boys and men Of
that day had to work to issue a weekly Journal;
all the work was done by hand with the crudest
machinery; publisher, then, was devil,
compositor, pressman, proof-reader, book,

Republican Factions in Baltimore

The defeat of Mayor Master for re-eleenen
left strained feelings between the Maister'es
and the old organization. The patch-up be-
tween the two factions, commonly known as
the "Odd-and- Even Deal, " was not entire iy
satisfactory, and since Mr.. Masters defeat
trouble has been brewing between the two
factions. The Master people had full con-
troll of the Republican organization n inc
city. but in the interest OF harmony DIVISION
of Offices was made with the Stone t-ctlo-.
The latter have not been content with what was
given them, aud in the appointment Of regis
trars of voters a few days ago undertook TO
get more and seem to have succeeded. Hence
the old war between the Malster and stone
factions is on. In the approaching PRIMARIES
it is said, the Malsterites will reasser' them
selves and show their complete supremacy IN
the city.
Master leader, in speaking OF the bad
faith of the Stone faction, as quoted IN the
Baltimore Nelrs, is reported as follows

The Power of Trusts.

The ADVOCATE recently noted the fact that
nails had been advanced over one hundred
per cent. the past six months. Bessemer pig
iron is now $40. IS per ton, $500 higher than
last week, ead the advance the past year has
been one hundred per cent.
These facts illustrate the power of trusts to
limit production and increase prices. They
have the people at their mercy and exact any
tribute that their cupidity suggests.

TO REMOVE CHINA's WALL.
The Historic Structure to be Raced
to the Ground.

DENVER. CoLORADo, June 26.-According
to Frank Lewis, Chicago civil engineer, who
is at the Oxford Hotel, the Chinese Govern.
ment contempates the destruction of the an
cieut Chinese wall that separates China proper
from Chinese Tartary. Mr.. Lewis is en- route
to China to assist in tearing down the famous
structure.
Mr.. Lewis is civil engineer, and goes to
China on behalf of a syndicate of Chicago
capitalists. He said
II understand that the enterprise is one of
the Chinese Governments own conception,
and is independent of Russia, German or
French influence. The cost will be great, in
volving millions of dollars. The concessions
that will be granted Will be worth the candle,
and | anticipate that there will be sharp com
petition.
Mr.. Lewis said he had information that a
New York syndicate is the only other Ameri-
can concern after the project, and that there
are two British syndicates out, French syn
dictate and three German companies. The
Chicago syndicate is said to have such men
back of it as the Armours, Marshal Field, the
elder Letter and Carter Harrison.
The Great Wall of China was constructed
under the direction of Che Hwangte. the first

feudal princes, were building lines of FORTH
