TREATY OF PARIS.

The refusal OF the Spanish Cortez
to ratify the treaty Of Paris may cause
some embarrassment, but it will be
finally ratified. The government at
Washington has kept the contingency
of failure to ratify we'll in view, and
the warships are ready for service. II
Spain had any well equipped warships,
she could annoy American commerce,
but if she did, it would provoke active
hostilities. If the CorteZ persists in
refusing to ratify, the United States
will continue in possession of the con-
1uered lands, and pursue her present
policy, without consulting the Span
dards But the 100000 due under
the treaty, if ratified, VIII be withheld.
The Spanish government will find a
way to secure ratification. No doubt
the strong opposition to the treaty in
our own Senate has misled many of
the Spanish politicians, and they may
hope to get better terms.

IMPROVING THE TROPICS.

w. A. Ireland, in the Popular Science
Monthly, advocates the establishment
of contract labor in the tropics by the
northern races, on the ground that il is
only by method of this kind that
the tropical races can be improved
He takes no mercenary view OF the
case, and advocates it only as the
most practicable way of advancing
these races. He cites the example of
the English Colonies, where East In
dia and Chinese labor is employed on
the penal contract plan with great
success. 1t is no doubt true that il is
successful, but the supervision Of the
relations between the planters and Ia
borers is in the hands of competent
and honest officials
Even if, under wise management.
the penal labor system would elevate
the tropical natives, it is idle to hope
for any tolerance of it by the American
people at present. The English people
accept penal contract labor, under
careful supervision, as an excellent
colonial policy, and as a policy that
does not conflict with the home or
domestic policy regarding restraints
upon labor The British public has
been educated 10 recognize and approve
OF these distinct and radically conflict
ing methods of dealing with labor.
The American public has from col
onial times, with the exception of GER
tain peculiar views regarding African
slavery, steadily opposed any restraint
of a penal nature upon labor. Even
the most conclusive reasoning cannot
change It's mind on the subject at pres
ent. The laboring men, who control
the majority of the votes of the nation.
would regard any legislation permit
ting penal labor contracts in the tropi-
cal possessions as an entering wedge
for general penal contract labor af-
|fecting all persons. Therefore, so far
as the United States is concerned, Mr..
Ireland and Mr.. Kidd do not give any
practical method of civilizing the
tropics.
The moderate success of the Brit
ish in preserving the natives of Rara-
tonga from destruction is due to the
arbitrary policy of forbidding the sale
of rum from Christian countries, and
especially in keeping out the bum
mers" from civilized lands. This po-
licy strikes at commerce, and the civil
lied races do not yet see their way
clear to improve the condition Of the
heather unless there is money in it.
Even in this land blessed in its mem
cries of missionary work, the labor
of the heather from Asia is vastly
more important to us than their moral
welfare. The theorist intent upon i'm
proving the inhabitants of the tropics
must take new grip on the subject

NEW PROCESS
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVE

y sort OF dread may prevail among
housewives that perhaps these stoves
might explode. but We can honestly say
that they are perfectly safe IN every
home. To endorse our statement tus;
have n talk with any insurance agent:
ne will tell you at once that he would
rather insure n home where these
stoves are used than issue a policy on
4 home where difeTcnt stoves are used
You wonder why the Blue Flame
stove should be better than any other.
Wen tell you. In this country the mat
ter OF fuel is very large item OF ex-
pense. As you have turned over a
new leaf since the New Year and In
tend eConom!zins where you never
thought OF before. you may begin on
your coal and wood. Il IS 4 positive
fact that the BLUE FLAME uses
only about one-half the quantity Of fuel
any other stove does. Another great
advantage Is that there Is no smoke o.
smell.
These stoves are placed on rollers
and are so light they can be easily
moved about. We have them IN two
sizes. one with two burners with oven
attached and the other with three
burners with oven. CThe price OF these
stoves is SIC. s2s.5O and ,25.Ool. We
can't tell you all about them: the best
thing to do is to come md look At
them.

FISHER STEEL RANGE for wood and

TIE DEWEY HOME.
The Admiral Criticised fos Trnasesrring
the Nations Gift to His wifs-Ths
Pisce Made Over 10 His SON.

Washington, Nov. %. - Admira
George Dewey has aroused storm o.
violent criticism BY his act transfer
ring to his wife the title Of tine home
presented to him BY the people Of the
nation. 1t is possible that the critics
will soon have n tangible reason fol
the action OF the admiral which will
edify them. though 1t may disenchant.
A current story Of some substanti-
ality, although as yet impossible to
positively verify. is to the effect that
Admiral Dewey made such haste in
transferring his home because Of a
threatened breach Of promise suit. As
part Of the same story, which may
prove later TO be untrue, 1t is asserted
that before his departure for Manila,
Admiral Dewey had for some time paid
marked attentions to an estimable wo-
man formerly employed in the war de-
partment.
1t is said that this lady had reason to
believe that the admiral's intent was
marriage and that she was rudely un-
deceived by his marriage to Mrs. Hazen.
Now, Il is claimed, she contepplates a
suit for breach Of promise and that the
admiral's action of transferring the
title to the house was based on his
knowledge Of the lady's intention.
Whether this story be true or false,
is yet impossible to say. The admiral
would receive no cards, see no callers,
read no notes. Naturally all sorts Of
rumors are aaoat as to debts and other
more serious complications, but for all
this gossip no one is able to point to
single foundation of fact.
The woman who is said to contem-
plate suit against Admiral Dewey is an
Indianapolis girl who for six or seven
years was employed in the treasury de-
partment until several months ago,
when she was transferred to the New
York post Office. She is IS years old
and decidedly pretty, and she boarded
at hotel, and according to her story,
that appears to be authentic, Admiral
Dewey called on her there while he
was commodore and bureau official
in the navy department.
Admiral Dewey Is severely criticised
upon the ground that good taste die
tated the house given him by the peo-
pie in grateful acknowledgment Of his
services to the country should have
been kept in his own name as long as
he lived. Subscribers to the fund are
already writing indignant letters to
the local papers pointing out that they
gave their money to buy house for
Mr.. Dewey, not for Mrs. Dewey, who
is already rich woman. One or two
Of the largest subscribers to the fund
have been heard from, and they are
quite bitter in their comments.
PLACE MADE OVER TO THE SON.
Washington, Nov. 22-Papers were
drawn up yesterday by Mrs. Mildred
Dewey, wife Of Admiral Dewey, trans
ferring all right and title in the Dewey
home to the admrals son, George
Goodwin Dewey. The deed will be re-
corded in day or two.

A CHICAGO FIRE.

Street Burned and Score of Firemen
and Spectators Injured.

Chicago, Nov 17-Fire early yester.
day destroyed the seyen-story building

flames would spread and destroy hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars worth
Of property in that valuable sec
tion Of the city. Shortly after
the FIRE broke out an explosion
blew out part Of the front Of the build
ing. Glass, blazing firebrands and de-
bris were scattered in all directions.
