War Far From Ended.

Hongkong, April 1s.-Though hun :
dreds of Filipinos are daily returning
to their homes and are DESTROYS of re-
suming peaceful pursuits, and though
the proclamation issued by the United
States Philippine commission has given
an impulse to this movement, the war
Is far from ended. One of the fore
most American generals said recently:
"We will see hundred thousand
soldiers in the Philippines before the
Americans control the islands," and
majority of the army are of his opinion

The constitution of the United States
declares that the vice president shall
be president Of the senate, but shall
have no vote, unless there is an equal
division of its numbers upon any meas
ure brought before it for decision. Such
. deciding vote Is comparatively rare.
The breaking of tie, as was recently
done by Vice President Hobart, shows
that the superstition that the Office is
unlmportant, save in the contingency
where the incumbent is called upon to
succeed to the presidency. is entirely
superficial. 1t Is quite within the pos
sibilities that an issue OF the gravest
moment may be determined against
the judgment Of half the senate by the
vote of a person not a member and
personally obnoxious, and yet the I'M
welcome defeat would come by a pro-
cess indisputably constitutional. 1t is
never wise to regard any provision of
the constitution as political trife.

WARS VICTIMS S.
Over Three Hundred of Uncle Sans Heroes
Laid to Rest.


Laid to Rest.
Washington, April s.-With full
honors of war, upon the crest of the
southern slope of Arlington cemetery,
the nation, represented by President
Mckinley, his cabinet and other high
dignitaries of the government, the
commanding general of the army and
other distinguished officers, all the
regular and militia organizations of
the district, and vast concourse of
$1,000 people, paid the last tender
tribute of honor and respect to the
bodies of 1886 officers and men who gave
their lives on distant battlefelds for
their country during the Spanish
American war. The scene was a most
imposing one. After the last religious
and military rites to the dead heroes
was over the work of actual interment
began. AS each of the caskets weighs
almost 500 pounds and requires eight
men to handle it, it will be two or
three days before all the bodies are in
their graves,

DEWEY'S POLITICS.
Says He Is Sailor and the Administration
Is His Party.

says nc IL sailor ana the Administration
Is His Party.
New York, April 11.-Admiral Dewey
has given to the Manila correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly an interview regard
ing the suggestion that the admiral be
made candidate for the presidency
next year. The admiral said as to his
politics:
81 am sailor. sailor has no
politics. The administration is his
party, and Republican or Democrat, it
makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
a Republican in Vermont is to be a
man without a party, My flag lieu
tenant comes from Georgia. He tells
me to be anything but Democrat in
the south is to be a nobody. If lived
south | would probably be Demo-
crat"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education nor
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad-
init of it. All his life's work was in
different lines of effort and that, while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him and the
| generous tributes of the American
people were dear to him, he could not
and would not be candidate for the
presidency of the United States under
any conditions.

Consul General Du Bots, stationed at
st. Gall, reports that the Swiss press
contains frequent and intelligent arti-
cles concerning the public school sys-
tenn OF the United States, our colleges
and universities, our hospitals, our
asylums for the insane, blind, deaf and
dumb, and for those dependent upon
public and private charity for support.
To these institutions are given the
highest praise. Recently much has
been written about our public Libraries.
In a late number OF the lausanne
BibliotheQue Universelle ct Revue
Suisse an article was published by Mr..
Albert Schintz on libraries OF the
United States. He described the as
tonishing increase of public libraries
In our country, and says that not only
does the United States publicly and
privately contribute five times as much
annually for public library purposes
as any other nation in the world, but
It spends nearly as much annually for
educational purposes as do England,
France and Germany combined.
