SEATTLE, Aug. 11.-Captain Mason,
of the steam whaler Jeanie, confirms
previous reports of the damage done
to St. Michael shipping in the storm
which ragged around and off st. Michael
island on July II. The wrecks of &c
river steamers thrown indiscriminately
upon the beach bear silent testimony
to the force and fierceness OF the gale
The full damage exceeds S500,000.
He saw $500, 900 steamers offered for
$1,000 and other wrecks for 800. The
City of Paris is half full of water. The
captain could not remember the names
of the other wrecked vessels.

Dewey's Flagship.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The navy department has practically
decided to send the cruiser Olympia,
upon her arrival home, to the Boston
navy-yard for repairs. 1t is understood
to be the intention to give the vessel
a thorough oyerhauling and to mod
ernie her. 1t is probable the flag
quarters will be removed, SO that Ad
miral Dewey will be the last flag officer
to fly his flag on board her.

ANOTHER FOoD EXPERIMENT..

Vegetables.

Troops will be Given a Mixture of Meat and
Vegetables.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Juss by
way of experiment, the war depart
ment is sending to Manila 2o,OOO
pounds of a new kind of emergency
ration. 1t is stuff that comes in one
pound cans, and is understood to be
composed of meat and egetables, ,desic-
Gated so as to be extremely compact
and highly condensed. When wanted
for eating, it is crumbled in a pint OF
cold water and boiled five minutes, the
result being thick and very nutritious
porridge. The latter, when cold. may
be sliced for frying, like nush. Pro-
fessors Chittenden, of Yale, and At
water, of Wesleyan, have analyzed the
substance and commended it strongly.
Much meat being undesirable as
food for troops in 80 torrid latitude
as that of the Philippines, the sub
sistance bureau of the army is trying
to introduce lighter articles of diet for
consumption by Yankee soldiers in
the Eastern archipelago. Dried bone.
less Goldfish by the ton is being shipped
from Boston to Manila, and picked
whitefsh and other fishes in brine are
being forwarded likewise, not to men,
tion large quantities of canned salmon.
These are furnished to the boys in
"khaki" in place of beef or pork, to
considerable extent, the daily allow
ance for one man being IA ounces of
Goldfish, or 16 ounces of canned salmon,
or Is ounces of picked fish. Two
ounces of prunes, or dried apples. or
evaporated peaches are supplied also
as part of the regular ration, for
health's sake.

ROOT CRASPS THE
SITUATION
Will Probably Call For
More Troops.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Secretary
Root has under consideration the
question for calling for volunteers
While he has not decided definitely to
do so, preparations are being made Tor
the call should it be decided to issue II
when the l3 regiments now being Or
gar lied are completed. 1t is said that
additional troops may be needed to re-
lieve those who have served some time
in the tropical countries. 1t Is also
suggested that it may be deemed
advisable to increase the army OF
General Otis.
Secretary Root has under consid era
tions suggestions from General
Brook for bringing home some OF the
troops now in Cuba. 1t has been
ctically determined to have five
battalions sent to the United States.

The National AdUertiser, a New
York weekly publication in the inter
est of the newspaper craft, III late
issue says:
ga few days ago a little girl in New
York was reported as kidnapped She
had disappeared with a servant who
had just been hired. 1t was limited
that the abduction was a scheme by a
yellow newspaper to get an exclusive
story of the finding of the child. We
should be sorry to believe that any
publisher is villain enough to reduce a
mother to the verge of madness for the
sake of extra sales and cheap glory"
The crime of abduction was COM
pIeted in the kidnapping of little
Marion Clark. If the facts can be es-
tablished that conspiracy was en-
tered into by the representative of a
''yellow newspaper to carry off the
child, although the ultimate intention
was to restore her to her parents after
the journal privy to the offence had
Teaped whatever benefit might come
TO it in directing public attention to
the enterprise of its repOrtorial staff,
and the activity of its management in
offering a princely reward for the re-
cOvery of the abducted tot, instead of
mitigating the offence of those who in
anywise were parties to the deed i'm
parts graver character of the Grim
inal act. If it can be established that
such a conspiracy as stated actually
existed and was the underlying motive
in the abduction of little Marion Clark,
the extreme penalty which the law i'm
poses for such an offence is none toe
severe in such a case. If there ever
was an instance in which the interven-
ton of lynch law by a mob would
be justified, its administration to the
conspirators in the abduction of the
baby girl would fill the measure tC
OVertiowing.
The little girl was found on Thurs.
day at farm house near Sloatsburg
west of Haverstraw, and returned tc
her parents that evening, thousands o
person being present to rejoice will
the mother at the restoration of he
child. The abductors are now undet
arrest, and will receive merited PUN
ishment instead of the big reward the,
expected.
Public interest over the case or Bah,
Clark has not been lessened by her re
coVery and restoration to her parents

The baby is the most popular person
in New York to-day, and is one $1,000
richer by reason of her experience, for
the journal, which offered $4,000 for
her recovery, has divided the amount
between Mrs. Carey, the st. Johns
.postmistress, who first identified the
infant, and Baby Clark herself, hold
ing that the latter helped to identify
herself. The case has been a great
triumph for "yellow journalism AS
it may fairly claim the credit of having
saved the badly, for its pictures and big
type gave wide publicity to the kid
mapping, and thus led to the identifi-
cation.

WILMINGTON went Democratic at the
city election on Saturday. The result
was not unexpected; in fact with two
Republican tickets in the field 1t could
hardly have been different. The Dem
Ocrats showed the political wisdom,
however much they might be divided
as to men and measures, in sticking to
a single ticket that represented a
name. With the Republicans it was
rot so. FactiOnal difference could not
have manifested a more bitter spirit
than it did in '96 when ex-senator Hig-
gins said he would ''cleave the party
down the spinal cord" sooner than see
men different from him succeed, and
did thus defeat the candidates for gov
ernOr and congress who had nothing
to do with the Senatorship, by putting
with the aid of likeminded men,
another ticket in the field, by this act
turning a State that was sure over to
those who had been their political en-
emies. If they had both done wrong,
as each faction had claimed against
the other, they were now equal, ano
there was a chance for an honorable
burying of the hatchet, in party
sense. This was done on the State
ticket, and the bargain was kept as fal
az the Union Republicans were con
cerned by voting for the caucus nOmi
nees in New Castle county, but in Ken
and Sussex, the Regulars" put NJ
seperate tickets. In organizing tn
Legislature the Regulars" sough
the aid of Democrats sooner thai
cOalesce with Union Republican, AM
the latter saw in the act nothing bu
''false playa repetition of what ha'
occurred in every agreement. 1t wa
all right the Union Republican
thought, so long as they acted as tn
''cats paw" for the cunning monkey I
pull the chestnuts from the fire. Thi
is the situation, and so it will remaiI
until candor and fair play have
share in party deliberations.
