THE DEWEY HOME FUND.
Statement by Chairman Vanderli
and Treasurer Roberts.

Statement by Chairman Vanderlip
and Treasurer Roberts.
Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman of the
Dewey home fund, and Ellis H. Roberts,
treasurer. have issued the following state
ment to the public regarding the fund: =
1.-The Dewey nome fund now exceeds SOL
900 in the hands of the treasurer from
27,695 contributors, with sums aggregatng
about $4,000 or $4,000 reported as sub
scribed still held by local committees and
subscribers. Delay has occurred in raising
the fund by reason of published rumors
that Admiral Dewey has declined to accept
the proposed gift. The committee has
never received any declfnation from him.
and, on the contrary, has every reason to
believe that he will accept a gracious
and precious testimonial home purchased
for him in the name of so many of his ad-
miring fellow citizens.
This committee was invited by original
Dewey home fund. It's members put no
will gladly receive and hold for the object
announced all moneys that may be sent to
the treasurer. They do not doubt that the
fund will, now that Admiral Dewey is on
his way homeward, be raised to an amount
worthy of him, of the nation, and Of the
contributors.
Checks may be payable to United States
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts. treasurer of
the fund, Washington, D. c., who will send
a souvenir receipt to each subscriber

PUBLIC LANDS OVERSTOCKED.
frof. Scribner's Tour Among the Arid
Tracts in the West,

Prof. f. Lamson Scribner, chief of the
agrostoiogy division of the Agricultural
department. has just returned from an
extended tour of the Pacific coast and the
northwest. where he went to study the
grasses and forage plants of these re-
gions. The government has a grass farm
at Walla Walla. where extensive expert
ments are being made with grasses avail
able for the vast arid tracts of the west.
The most startling condition Prof. Serb
ner found was in the big cattle ranges on
the public lands east of the Cascades in
eastern Oregon, Washington. Wyoming
Idaho and Colorado. These ranges are
badly overstocked and there has been, con-
sequently, great deterioration of the
grass upon them. Radical measures will
be required to restore them to first-class
condition as pasture lands.
Upon the recommendation of Prof. Scrib-
ner 1t is the intention of the Secretary of
Agriculture in his forthcoming annual re-
port to recommend that the government
cease the policy of allowing free grazing
and substitute system of leases. This
would place the land leased entirely under
the control of the lessee and make it to
his interest not to overstock his range.
AS further incentive it is suggested that
1t might be well to give the lessee the
preference when the land is sold.

CADET SMITH DISMISSED,
The Secretary of War Will Punish All
HazfnE at West Point.


On the recommendation of the superin-
tendent Of the Military Academy, the Pres
ident has directed the summary dismissal
from the service of the United States of
Cadet Philip F. Smith of the third class,
"for harassing and annoying fourth class
man"
Smith was appointed. to the academy
from the fifth district Of Nebraska in June,
1897.
In August, 1898, he was court-martialed
for harassing and annoying new cadets and
sentenced to be suspended without pay
until August %. 1899, and to join the then
third class. He reported at the academy
about 1 o'clock on the 2Sth, and about Y:45
O'Clock the same evening detected in
the act Of "harassing and annoying new
cadet" He acknowledged the offense, and
after careful consideration of the case by
the Secretary of War was summarily dis
missed from the academy.
In a memorandum in regard to the case
given out at the War Department, it Is
stated that at Is the intention of the Sec
rotary of War to infiict the most summary
and exemplary punishment upon all cadets
of the Military Academy detected in hazng
new cadets"

ShamrOck's Hull COrrOdin9.

The aluminium on the Shamrock has be-
come badly corroded. There is no surprise
in this, however. The real surprise is that
Designer Fife should have built the top
sides of the Shamrock of aluminium, know
ing. as he must have known, that the
Herreshoffs had found the material want
ing in the case of the Defender. Besides,
aluminium has been relegated to the past
by marine architects for several years. AS
a matter of fact, the Shamrock is mere
racing machine, and the Columbia Is not.
The Shamrock's working suit of canvas
exceeds 1900 square feet, and she Is such
a perfect shell that there are not quarters
on board for her men, 1t may surprise
the Shamrock people to know that the Co
lumbia was specially built for crossing the
ocean to race in English and Mediterran-
can waters. This was one of the condi-
tons of her construction. If the Here
shoffs care to talk, 1t will be to say that
the Columbia cost $4,000 for structural
account alone, completely disproving any
idea of her being a mere racing machine.
She is able to house all Of her crew. but
they are more comfortable on the tender.

NOT THINKING OF WAR.
Minister COrrea Denies That Nicara.
gun IL Aiming.


Minister Correa Of Nicaragua discredits
the report that the governments of Mic
aragua and Honduras have formed a Sc
cret alliance against Costa RIGA, and that
arms are being bought In Europe and the
United States. with a view to the over
throw of the existing government. Minis
ter Correa authorized the following state
ment:
1.-The governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica have never been on better terms
than they are at present. There is a perfect
understanding between them and 1t Is of
the friendliest character. AS to the reported
alliance between Honduras and Nicaragua
there has been an alliance de facto for
many years past
They are very good friends, and they
have no need of any formal treaty of al
lance beyond the de facto understanding
which has long existed. If President
Zelayo has held a conference with Presi-
dent Sierra it is undoubtedly due to long
continued personal acquaintance between
them. and also to the tour President Sierra
has been making to points in Honduras
near the Nicaraguan boundary.
THE statement that there is any joint
purpose to wrest from Costa Rica the
province Of Guena Caste is, of course,
without foundation, as that province was
given by Nicaragua to Costa RIGA over
forty years ago, when they celebrated the
treaty fixing the boundary line and since
then there has never been the slightest dis
pute between the two countries.
1T is undoubtedly true that Nicaragua
has sent money to Europe because she is
making many purchases there but nothing
in the way of arms. And as to the sending
of $4,000 to New York for arms, much
more than that amount has been sent to
New York. but it is to buy Nicaragua's tele-
graph and telephone lines and for mail
facilities. We are not thinking of war, but
are anxious for that peace and order which
will assist in developing the rich resources
of the country"
The minister added that his country, as
we'll as other south and central countries,
is much injured by loose statements of
war projects and that only recently a large
banking project involving an investment Of
$1O,O0OOOO in Nicaragua was frustrated by
war rumor that had no basis of fact.

COST OF NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Nearly All the Estimates Made for
Next Fiscal Year.

Nearly All the Estimates Made for
Next Fiscal Year.
All the estimates for the operations of
the naval establishment with the excep-
ton o. those for ordnance and armor have
been submitted. They were sent in earlier
this ysar in order that the officials might
have ..mple time for their consideration be-
fore their final submission to Congress.
They show a considerable increase all
along the line, owing to the rapid develop
snent of the navy, the unprecedented
amount of naval shipbuilding now in pro-
gress and the enlarged demands growing
out of the war and the acquisition Of new
territory.
The largest item is $4,000, 900, under the
head of increase of the navy" which is
S5,oo0,H0 more than any previous estimate
under this head. 1t is due to the unusual
number of warships now in course of con-
struction, aggregating ffty-four in all
classes, total much in excess of the num-
Der under construction at any previous
time in the history of the navy.
Rear Admiral Melville makes estimates
Tor new engineering plants, equipment.
tools, buildings, etc, at Norfolk, Port
Royal, Port Orchard and Mare Island. Cal.
The plants are old, and the requirements
now made on them induce the chief engin-
eer to recommend the most modern APP
plances and such a remodeling of build
1ngs as will bring them up to date.
Rear Admiral Endicott, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks, will recommend
two more large dry docks on the Atlantic
seabord, one at New York and the
other at Norfolk. The New York dock will
take the place of the unsatisfactory timber
docks. Both docks will be of granite and
concrete, and accommodate the largest war
ship. The estimate will be about 81, $50 600
each.
Rear Admiral ONeils estimates on ar
NOR and ordnance will be held until his
return next Monday, as he has been Civ
ing much personal attention to this i'm
portant item. The price of armor plate
VIII have to be settled by Congress- and
large quantity of armor authorized The
armor concerns refused to bid on the $500
fixed as the limit of cost by the last Com
gress. so that further legislation is neces-
sary in order to provide for the many ships
now nearing completion.
Aside from the bureaus estimates the
Secretary of the Navy will prepare such
estimate as he deems expedient for new
ships. There is no intimation thus far as
to what ships will be recommended but
the impression prevails in well-informed
naval quarters that the Secretary will con-
hne his recommendation to three 6,OOO-ton
projected cruisers, to cost about 81 $50 900
each Ihese were recommended last year
ana We're the only ships not authorized by
Congress, SO that it Is thought likely the
need of them will again be presented
