ADMIRAL DEwEY's RETURN.
His Desires Made Known to the Sec.
EefarH af The Nar


Admiral Dewey's return to the United
States within very short time has been
assured through an exchange OF views on
the subject between the Admiral and the
Navy Department. In answer to a cable
message from Admiral Dewey in which he
expressed his desires in regard to his
home coming. Secretary Long yesterday
sent dispatch authorizing the Admiral to
return at his own convenience and by any
route or means he chose. This telegraphic
correspondence contained information def
mite enough 10 justify the statement by
naval officials familiar with its contents
that Admiral Dewey will start for home
very soon. probably In few days, and
that he may be expected here by the mid
die of July.
The naval authorities are very reticent
concerning the contents OF the dispatch
from Admiral Dewey. They say IL was
private message addressed to Secretary
Long and cannot be made public at this
time. The mystery over the contemplated
movements OF Admiral Dewey is some
thing that nobody appears to be able TO
explain. 1t was very difficult 10 get from
the naval officials any information about
the character of the correspondence be-
tween Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey.
The only explanation that is In any way
plausible is that the Navy Department
does not want to announce Admiral Dew
ey's plans in advance of his departure
from Manila. as knowledge OF his return
by one OF the two routes would bring n
storm OF protest and importantly from the
people in the other part Of the United
States. There is reason to believe that
the Navy Department has some informa-
tion about Dewey's plans.
1t is quite certain that the Admiral viii
come home on his flagship, the cruiser
Olympia, making his first stop In the
United States at New York. The Admiral
probably expressed desire to make the
voyage in his flagship by that course. and
the message telegraphed to him yesterday
by Secretary Long is broad enough to Fer
init him to carry out any plan he may have
formed.
1t is evident from what naval officials
say about Admiral Dewey's homecoming
that the Admiral is satisfied that the Fill
pino insurrection is practically over. He
has heretofore expressed his desire to re-
main at Manila while the situation was
critical. That he would not be willing
10 leave while the Philippine Commission
had important work to perform is obvious.
Admiral Dewey is member of the Com
mission, and, according to advices from
General Otis to Adjutant General Corbin,
he is representing both the Army and the
Navy. General Otis told the Adiutant
General that he would not have much time
to attend to his work as a Commissioner.
and that Admiral Dewey would take his
place in advising their colleagues in re-
gard to the military situation.
Secretary Long received telegram yes
terday from the New York Chamber of
Commerce, in which the chamber dis
avows any connection with the proposed
dinner to Dewey at 800 a plate The
telegram said that the chamber would do
all it could to discourage the project.

are only two men In the world In whom
this serene self confidence, this exquisite
poiss Of complaceney. this gentle air OF
martyred genius, may be found. How
touching is Mr.. lie Galliennes admission
that he might hasten the day of recog-
milton II he would only cut his hair!
What is the mysterious reason for the
preservation of this ornament? Why must
Mr.. lie Gallienne wait for fame till, by
the natural process of age, his head is
reduced to the condition of billiard ball,
so smooth and shiny? Why can he not
yield to the demand of fashion, and pre-
sent the effulgent light of his genius to
the world without the obscuring medium
of cloud of hyacinthine locks? In the
middle ages those curls might have been
in fashion, though even then the helmet
of a hero was likely to wear off a part of
his hair and call for the abridgment Of
the rest. Why should Mr.. LIE Gallienne
do so?
There have been many descriptions OF
this rising luminary of English literature,
but none more picturesque than this
When a man describes himself as slip
of the young moon glimmering through
pine wood, it is safe to infer that there
is something unusual about him. Pres
emily We discover that there is. He is
the apostle of sentiment, the man of feel
ing. Now appears the reason for the
hair.
Mr.. LIE Gallienne is determined not only
to write poetry, but to live it. Many ten

wrote exquisite verses to Phyllis and

| might sometimes be found at the nearest
free lunch counter drinking lager beer.
Mr.. LIE Gallienne's mission is to present
the appearance as well as the work of a
poet. Many poets might have written
about slip of the young moon glimmering
| through pine wood, but few would have
the courage or the esthetic feeling to
make of themselves living picture illus
| trating that line. Is Mr.. LIE Gallienne to
forego this grand ambition merely for
the sake Of conformity to an evanescent
and senseless fashion? Perish the thought,
But it becomes a painful duty to warn
Mr.. lie Gallienne that there is no hope
that his style of beauty will ever become
| general. The majority of mankind are

! their bread and butter. Perhaps il is
as well that 1t should be thus.

Our Trouble With Canada.

(From the Cleveland Plain Doaler.)
The Canadian purpose is TO reject any plan OF
settlement that does not concede their claim
10 practically the entire main land of Alaska
south Of Glacier Bay, or that does not submit the
question to arbitration. In the latter they
will go before the tribunal OF arbitration with
ease thoroughly prepared and fortified by surveys
whilst, at the present time, our case has been
prejudiced by neglect to make thorough surveys
and establish monuments.
The truth is that from the time Alaska
acquired from Russia very little attention has
been paid 10 IL by our Government. The terri
tory assumed TO have small value, beyond
the seal rookeries in Behring Sea, and little ef
fort was made to accurately define its boundaries,
even after the boundary question was raised.

master Schroeder decided TO deliver the toad TO
the Young to whom il addressed The
pasteboard box was badly battered that the
receiving clerk could find no smooth place on
it to stamp the hour il was received so he made
the imprint upon the white belly of the toad.
The postmaster refused to divulge the name Of
the person to whom it had been sent.

out that Oakland is not on the seashore, but fifty
miles from the Pacific; that it has no beach; is
not a subtropical country; has no redwood trees

Cardinal Gibbons is quoted as saying
that as soon as America establishes law,
peace, and order in the Philippines "the
islands will be promptly attached to the
church of this country" What church
what denomination? Roman Catholicism in
the United States is today fronting more
toward the United States and less toward
Rome than ever before. The conflict OF
the conservative and liberal elements
within the denomination, if it has done
nothing else, has brought into relief the
loyalty of American Catholics to Ameri-
can institutions The Cardinal is a splen-
did type of American citizenship, but when
he speaks of the church 'of this country
he is somewhat out OF the way. The sep

about every so feet to shorten the
wheeling distance of the ore into
them 1t had also been found nee
essary to put up raises for ladderways
TO the sub-levels. so that in case of
accident we can at all times withdraw
our men. The ladderways are not
put up by any rule, but as occasion
requires. The main levels are opened
with nine foot cap and seven foot
posts. giving in level seven feet BY
seven feet in the clear. Our subleyels
are opened with six foot timber, tun-
mel shape, three pieces constitute a
set. Our raises are mostly three feet
square in the clear. This size we
consider easier to maintain from
crushing and at the same time it can
be guarded TO better advantage than
a large chute or raise.
When caving. We will run into, or
slice pillar, and put up convenient
raises or chutes for milling down the
ore. Usually we commence to cave
on the south and east of the deposit,
working the caving back in north
easterly direction passing or caving
such chutes or ladderways as we
come in contact with. Our ladder
ways are put up on an angle of Is to
IS degrees. In caying, although we
are governed in cases by circum-
stances and the character Of the ore,
we always commence at the loose
end and draw at all times to the foot
wall or dyke. Timber for sub-leyels
is thrown down raises from the main
level above and distributed from those
points. Our tramming is done rrin-
cipaliy with mules to the main shafts.
At the shaft are stationed cage ten
der and an assistant to take the cars
OF and on the cage. In the station
we have system of tracks for loads
and empties, giving ample room to
hold full train Of two or three cars
as brought in by the mule, which re-
turns with as many empties. This
work is done with boy and mule.
We have also found it to our adyan-
tage to keep our tracks well graded
and well drained by bitches cut at
the sides Of the drifts. Thirty pound
rails are used for tracks. This part
of our business we consider very i'm
portant, as 1t avoids delays and acci-
