Dewey Will Start For Home
Almost Immediately.
Trip Will Be Made by SueZ
Canal Route.
TO ARRIVE JULY 4TH.
Olympia's Mail Ordered Sent to
English Port.
The Admiral Will Not Wait For
End of War.
TO ARRIVE JULY 4TH.

Washington, May 12-"Send Olympia's s
mail to B. F. Stevens, No. Trafalgar
Square. London, Eng" was the notice
given out at the navy department. to-
day. This is the first formal indication
that the famous flagship is coming
home Immediately. Upon inquiry 1t
was ascertained that Secretary Long
had last evening cabled Admiral Dewey
permission to return at once to the
United States He has been relieved OF
the obligation of remaining at Manila
until the Philippine commission com
pletes its work. He is not even required
to await the cessation of hostilities but
may start homeward at once.
The notice posted at the navy depart
ment indicates that the Olympia will
not remain long enough to receive the
next outward mail. Mr.. Stevens re-
ferred to- is the navy departments
agent at London TO distribute all of the
mail for United States warships in
European waters, so he will see to it
that the Olympia receives hers as soon
as she passes the Suez canal
It is estimated at the navy depart
ment that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for a national demOnstra-
Olympia. will not come under full steam
but nevertheless she should make the
run to New York in about 55 days from
Manila. That she is to come to New
York is nearly certain as shown by the
following response made by Secretary
Long to the urgent message of invita-
tion to Dewey from Mayor Van Wyck
of New York. It may be stated that
this was sent before the notice was
sent to Dewey that he might come
home at once:
Navy Department, Washington, May
11.-Sir: l am in receipt OF your tele-
gram with regard to the return of Ad-
miral Dewey and expressing a desire
that he arrive first in the country at
not been fixed and the department has
taken no other action than to authorize
his return whenever the condition of
the peace commissioner shall permit
AS to the route he snail take in return
ing, the department is inclined to leave
that to him. He has served with great
ability and must necessarily feel so
much the effect of his arduous labOrs in
q trying climate and under trying cir
cumstances that the department is dis
posed to let him govern himself in this
respect largely by the consideration of
his own personal convenience and wish.
1t is understood however, that Admiral
Dewey will elect to return to New York.
Very respectfully,
JOHN d. LONG. Secretary,
f'HON. ROBERT A. VAN WICK
Mayor of the city of New York

WHY HAVE LAW?
Defies State Grain Inspection and
State officer Afraid to Prosecute

Every grain and mill man in Topeka
except T. L. EVAN has accepted the
services of Thomas Cross in the inspec-
ton of grain handled by them. Mr..
Cross is now at work, but Evans re-
fusaI to permit him to inspect the grain
handled by the Capital Elevator COM
pany deprives the state of about $500
per month in fees.
The law provides a method for the
enforcement of the rules of inspection,
but the chief inspector. A. E McKen-
zie, and his advisers are afraid to take
a case against Evan into court, believ-
ing that the law may be declared uncon-
stitutional, thereby throwing the whole
crowd of inspectors out of office There
fore Evans bluff is not called, but the
state inspector has arranged for the
appointment of an assistant inspector
for Topeka whose duty it shall be to
inspect the grain handled by Mr.. Evan.
Thus one man defies the power of the
state and the fear of losing job i'm
pels the state inspector to knuckle
down.
