of Admiral Dewey:

rarely leaves ship. the Olympia. Thes
same is true of all his captains. On
December I was taken aboard the adj
miral'ss flagship and introduced bTs
United States Consul Johnson, of Amoys
to tho hereof Manila bay.,I count ita
red-letter day in my life. He showed
me all over his ship and into the COR

me the working of the guns. jack

is now chief gunner for the admiral OF
the Asiatie squadron.
'sIn personal appearance Admiral
Dewey does not resemble his picture Az
much as Ihad expected he would. Heizf
man of medium height, inclined to be
stout. His hair and mustache are white
his eyes hazel and he has the complex
ion of seafaring man. His manner is
free, frank and cordial, though he can
express something very different, am
told when he wishes.
"Out here Admiral Dewey is regarded
almost as king, and people approach
him about as we approach the president
at home. If he is regarded inthe states
with anything like the enthusiasm that,
he is here he will certainly be the next
president He has proved himself here
more than naval commanders he is p
diplomat and statesman. The dipl0-
macy that he has shown in the various
situations that have arisen has aroused
the keenest admirat ton for him here.

EXPANSIONS COST.
Running Into Debt to Allow Hanna
4 Co. to Exploit the
Philippines.

In recent speech at Philadelphia
Carl Schurz, in denouneing imperialism
and militarism, called attention TO their
enormous cost.
SPY honest and strenuous EFFORT he said,
I'VE have paid off the bulk of the heavy na.-
tionaI debt left by the civil war, and we
have been very proud of that achievement
We are now in the way of running up new
ma tioGaI debt, of which, If we go on with the
new policy, nobody can foretell to what fig
ures twill rise s.
Few persons have considered the mat
ter from this point of view. They have
seen some of the costs of expansion in
the injury done to American institu-s
tions and principles and the. Develop
ment of Algerism. Eaganism and cor
ruption, but they have not fully appre-
.ciated the fact that brilliant military
career is expensive, and the people will
have to tax themselves to carry it out.
The debt statement issued by the
treasury department for the month CT
March presents this comparison:

The war tax bill, although it added
$50, ,Go0, ,oe0 a year to our revenue, has
not suficed to meet the demands inn
posed on us by expansion. The current
deficits will necessitate further addi-
tions to our debit There viii not be the
slightest troubIA about negotiating the
bonds our credit is SO good-but in-
creased Indebtedness means greater in
sterest to pay and an increase of taxa
ton to the war basis of 1861-65, that
viii prove heavy burden to the pee-
pie. 1t was borne willingly enough
then, although it was very hard on the
poorer classes; but who to-day can
point out in the Philippine war any
profit to the country, any American
principle at stake that will Justify the
administration in piling up the bonded
debt and necessitating on increase of
taxation to pay the interest thereon? !?
We will pay heavy bill out of the
pockets of the people for what only q
few syndicates will make anything out
of. We are running into debt to allow
Hanna e Co. to exploit the Philip
pines and provide the inhabitants OF
those islands with watered railroads
and various trusts and mbines. N. @.

A CRUEL BLOW FROM HANNA.
The Republican Boss Rnges When
Mentioned In Connection
with Reef.

~ p s 4ls
The most significant circumstances Of
the beef investigation that has thus far
appeared is the angry denial OF Senator
Hanna Of any connection Whatever with
the purchase Of the beef. sent this
denial hot from his winter residence in
Thomasville, where everything was SO
lovely q few days:
.I see in the newspaper reports that one
Mai Lee has attempted to drag my name
into the case by questions which conveyed
the Impression that was present at some
conference where beef contracts were dis
eussed. Iswish to say that I never had any
thing to do with any army contract nor
even exchanged a word with any official
of the war department on that subject. II
| make this statement IN order that It may
have the same publicity as was given to the
contemplate insfnuations of this man Lee
This is the most cruel blow that Alger
has received yet. 1T is the unconscious
admission that Hanna believes the bad
beef charges to be true, and 1t reveals
the secret opinion in Hanna's heart
about the secretary of war. Hanna isn't
| a sensitive man. He is not scrupulous
in his political acts as many other men,.
He would do things that the late Thom-.
as T. Bayard would scorn even to think
Of. But the beef scandal is too much
for Wanna. When they mention his
name in connection with Algerss oeef he
roars out d denial that shakes the noun
tains in Georgia. He doesn't t want to.
rest for a moment under the imputation.
/ that he would be guilty of even know
ing what kind of meat Alger was fur.
