DEWEY AND THE POWDER BOY.
A Touching Incident of the Battle of Manila
Told by One Who Was Present.

One of the brave jackies, says the
Philadelphia Call, who was with Dewey
at the battle of Manila Bay tells this
new anecdote of the great admiral.
The teller is Harry Deghman, u sailor
of the cruiser Boston, and his story is
this
"Ihe most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all of the sailors
will remember through their lives, was
the action of a powder boy. These
boys act as aids to captains and lieu
tenants in carrying messages and doing
errands, When the order was given
to strip for action one of The boys tore
his coat off hurriedly, and it fell from
his hands and went over the rail down
bay. A few moments before he had
been gazing upon his mothers photo
graph, and just before he took his coat
off he had kissed the picture and put it
in his inside pocket. When the coat
fell overheard he turned to the captain
and asked permission to Jump over
board and get it. Naturally, the re-
quest was refused. The boy then went
to the other side Of the ship and CLUB
ed down the ladder. He swan around
to the place where the coat had drop
ped and succeeded in getting it. be-
lieve it was still floating when he got
there.
"When he came back he was ordered
in chains for disobedience. After the
battle he was tried by court-martial
for disobedience and found guilty.
Commodore Dewey became interested
in the case, for he could not understand
why the boy had risked his life and
disobeyed orders for q coat. The lad
had never told what his motives were.
But when the commodore talked tC
him why he had done such strange
things for an old coat, he broke into
tears and told the commodore that his
mothers picture was in the coat.
Commodore Dewey's eyes filled
with tears as he listened to the story
Then he picked the boy up in his arms
md embraced him. He ordered the
little fellow to be instantly pardoned.
Boys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for their pictures
can not be kept in irons on this fleet,
he said"

Mr.. Mckinley has given the country
another exhibition of lightning
change of mind. After allowing those
who talked with him during several
days to get the impression that he was
about to call for volunteers for the
Philippines, he suddenly chan ged his
mind and announced that the cabinet
had decided not to call for volunteers,
but to replace the volunteers now in
the Philippines with regulars, and to
authorize Gen. Otis to enlist natives.
1t is believed that the principal factor
in bringing about this lightning
change, was a. cablegram from Prof.
Schurman, president of the Philippine
commission, containing fairy story
announcing the early surrender of Agu-
inaldo. Similar fairy stories by the
same author were the basis of the hope
of early peace INDUCED in by the adj
ministration some weeks ago. The
rainy season, which lasts three months,
is on in the Philippines, making it i'm
possible for Gen. Otis to worry Aguin-
aldo much for that length of time
That's why no early surrender is at all
probable.

Representative Gordon, of Ohio,
who is visiting Washington, talks in
terestingly of the political situation in
his state. He said: "Whoever thinks
the republicans are invincible in Ohio,
this year, will be badly fooled. There
never was a time when the party was
so badly split by fOctlonal dissensions,
as now, and if the democrats are
awake to their opportunity, they will
beat Senator Hanna's candidate for
governor. | have no idea who will be
named as the democratic candidate,
but we have plenty of good material to
draw from. Ohio is naturally republi-
can, but the people do not take kindly
to political bosses, and they are going
to show their resentment at the polls
this year.

platform. The money plank will be
made as full and as strong as if there
we're no other issues. I would be in
favor also of making declaration
against trusts, as if that were the only
issue; and the same with our declara-
ton against imperialism and the Phil

said to obsure or take pre- cedence of

The friends OF Representative Sher-
man, of New York, are claiming that
he was buncoed by the Henderson
Sherman speakership combine, into
which he entered a short time ago, and
there appears to be foundation for the
claim. The combine has already made
Henderson the only western candidate
for speaker and given him an appar-
emit walk-over for the speakership. 1t
is intimated that it was formed to do
that very thing, and that the admins
tration was a party to it, having decid-
cd that Sherman's friendship for Reed,
and Reeds influence over him, made
him undesirable speakership timber.
There may, of course, be slip up in
the program, but it is the general i'm
preston in Washington that Hender-
son already has the speakership clinch-
ed, and predictions are freely made
that Sherman will find it advisable to
withdraw in Henderson's favor, long
before congress meets, in order to get
Payne's place, at the head of the ways
aud means committee, which carries
with it the floor leadership of the par

In Austria, process for making ar
tificial cotton out of the fibre of the fir
tree has been discovered, and reported
to the state department, by the U. s.
Consul, at Reichenberg. He quotes
description Of the process, concluding
as follows: artificial cotton can be
produced SO cheaply that the genuine
article can hardly compete with it, and
one can not say that it is sham, for it
is composed, exactly as the natural cot
ton, of pure cellulose. The consul
says himself: "In country such as
this, where forests of fir trees abound
and are made perennial, by constant
replanting as the large trees are cut
down, and where all the cotton used in
the numerous factories must be brought
from far India and the United States,
such device should be profitable. )"
This is decidedly interesting, but it
need not alarm cotton growers until it
is known to have been put into practi-
cal use. 1t may be like the chemical
process by which real diamonds can be
made, which works all right, but the
made diamond costs more than the nat
ural diamond of the same size sells for,
which renders the process useless to
the commercial world.
