DEWEY WILL NOT ACCEPT.

The following extract is taken
from a Wa.,hington letter, and un-
doubtedly shows what Admiral
Dewey's sentiments are in regard
to the proposed Dewey home, and
demonstrating that he has more
good common sense than the pro
moters of the home fund give him
credit for:
"I have the best reason for as
serting that Admiral Dewey will
not accept the house in Washington
which it is proposed to give him,
said navy officer at the Army and
Navy club. II don't exactly mean
to say he will not accept it, but |
do mean he will not accept it as a
home for himself If accepted at
all it will be for the purpose of
making it home for sick and dis
abled seamen and sailors. That
he will found home of this char
acter | have not the slightest
doubt, and when he does he will
be held in even higher admiration
and regard than now, if such a
thing is possible. To a brother
officer in this city the admiral has
written as much. Those who know
him know he is in no way greedy
or selfish, and has he lrt as large
as any mans. Just put it down
that Admiral Dewey will not ac-
cept the house for his own use
Among other things, you know, the
admiral is a widower, and | have
no idea that he has the least tho't
of ever marrying again. Admiral
Dewey prefers club life and does
not want home"

SOMETHING NEW.
A Discovery That Is Expected to R~vo-
Iutionixe a Great Industry.


IutIonixe a Great Industry.
Just as Americans begin to feel that
they are upon the verge of developing
superiority to Great Britain not only in
shipbuilding. but in the steel trade, In
which such a number of valuable for
eign contracts have lately been taken
by our manufacturers in the face OF
British competition; and just as ma
ture seems TO encourage the American
aspiration by showing that the English
coal mines will be exhausted Within
another fifty years, science seems TO
be coming to the aid of the Britisher
and may be about to open new fields
OF competition in steel in which Amer
lea must take part If she is TO main
tain her hard-earned prestige. The
discovery has been demonstrated in
London, and is being made much of by
the British press, that the ability to
produce perfect steel by casting 1t in
vacuum made by liquid hydrogen
with a process that is not proposed to
make public. has at last attained prac-
ticability. A company has been formed
with a capital of 100000 to expert
mentally develop the process, and II
the plan is as successful as Prof De-
war, the discoverer, presumes it Will
be, the air bubbles that now cause
flaws and weakness in steel viii be
done away with. and metal will re-
suit such as the world has never seen.
To say that this means a possible revo-
luton in the steel trade is to put 1t
mildly. and If the English government
can control the process, as 1t is now in
timated may be the case, then Ameri-
can scientists and those of other coun-
tries will be put upon their metttle to
get eevn with the Britishers. Liquid
hydrogen. which is the great agent
now discovered is described as clear,
colorless, transparent and very volatile
fluid. no clearer than pure water, but
only one-fourteenth the density of
water. In its lightness it is out of all
proportion to any known liquid. A
piece of paper when placed in it sinks.
The difference between liquid hydro
gen and liquid air is as great If not
greater than the difference between the
ordinary temperature and liquid air.
Liquid hydrogen places temperature at
within twenty degrees of absolute zero,
which is represented by 494 degrees
Fahrenheit and 273 degrees Centigrade
below zero. The boiling point of liquid
hydrogen is 252 degrees below zero, at
which 1t is capable OF enormous pres
sure. The discovery must affect every
problem of physics and chemistry. Its
possibilities are illimitable. 1t may
revolutionize the methods that have
beeen laboriously built up during the
last three hundred years.-Marine

A PARALLEL IN ENGLAND.

Advices from England announc-
ing the feverish preparations for
war with the Beers indicate that
John Bull, despite his frequent
brushes in various quarters of the
globe, is still not ready on short
notice to meet even the Beers, who
can muster but forty thousand
men, and some sixty Thousand if
the Orange Free State joins hands
with their blood relatives of the
Transvaal, says the Pueblo Chief
tain. The state of affairs in Lon
don sheds light that should be
noted by those who have called
attention in unmeasured condem-
nation to every little shortcoming
in our own military and naval af-
fairs, especially during the first
few weeks or months of the war
with Spain The task England
may face in the contest against the
Beers is not to be considered for a
moment as of the same magnitude
as fell to us when we set out to de-
feat Spain. England has had for
generations use for transports and
her service in handling troops over
sea has been the subject of study
for years. She is today in the
market an active bidder for ships
for that purpose. Britain has a
war on her hands of greater or less
magnitude all the time. Yet, with
a little republic not capable of put
ting to the front as many men as
Spain had in Cuba, when her force

ALL the inhabitants of the
Transvaal between the ages of 16
and go years are liable to military
duty. From Is to "a constitutes
the first class; "a to 30 the second.
The classes then change and the
third is composed of those under
Is and all over 80 years. Each
soldier is compelled to clothe him
self. supply his own fire arms and
thirty rounds of ammunition. In
all reason the Beers should make
good soldiers. Their life is such
as to make them hardy; they are
expert horsemen, unerring shots
with the rife; they are familiar
with the country, and can thus
secrete themselves in inaccessi ole
places in the hills and dense un-
derbrush and pick off the English
officers rapidly; it is also said that
the famous order to give them
the bayonet,n has no terrors for
the Beers in the open field.

the rate of over sloo,ooo,oOo per

In America all pleasure grounds
of large extent have from the be-
ginning been planned for the peo-
pie. They are constant source to
them of pleasure and pride, and it
is our boast that on this continent,
with its unrivaled resources and its
host of generous citizens, parks
have been created in our generation
which today can be favorably COM
pared with the most famous ancient
resorts of Europe, and when the
schemes now begun have had time
fully to be carried out we shall have
reservations for the public of un-
paralleled extent and beauty, reach
ing perhaps unbroken from the east
ern seaboard to the shores of Cali
fornia.
The idea of such a reservation, a
national parkway from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, leading from one
beautiful pleasure ground to anoth-
er and passing through great tracts
of woodland patrolled by govern
ment foresters, is not inconsistent
with the genius of our country,
which ever seeks closer union be-
tween its parts, while the gradually
enlarging park systems of our cities
indicate the way in which it may be
brought about in the linking to-
gether Of suburb after suburb by
great boulevards which tend to
bring civilization to distant homes
by affording safe and easy commu-
nication between them. Mary c.

In answer to the above The
Chieftain will say it has as little
Use for Downing corruption as
it has for National corruption.
1t is a matter OF history that Wolf
Coon not only refused to sign the
treaty but that he announced to
the commission that he would sign
no treaty that meant the abolition
of tribal relations. 1t is in vain
at this day to try to bolster or pal
late the action of the leaders of
the National party. The party
opposed the resolution providing
tor commission to treat with the
Dawes commission, and now its
only hope of success is to array
the fullbloods against the govern
ment and the progressive element
of the Cherokee people in attempt
ing and equitable settlement of
Cherokee affairs. The National
idea is to embarrass the. Dawes
commission in every way possible
and to hold out to the bitter end
against making treaty OF any
kind. Nobody will be mislead by
the declarations of the Nationals
at this time. The party would
better disband, for it has outllved
its usefulness.

Notes From the Court.

The Jackson cattle stealing case
was on Tuesday.
1t is rumored that the grand jury
will make its final report today
and be discharged.
District Attorney Soper informs
the Times that the grand jury has
disposed Of ninety cases during
the past two weeks.
On June / there were pending
in the Muskogee court 63S cases.
Others have been docketed since
then and many have been disposed
of, one way and another.
The court is put to some slight
inconvenience, owing to the fact
that the witness fund is depleted.
This difficulty will be obyiated at
the beginning Of the new fiscal
year which is only a few days off.
United States District Attorney
Soper has issued notice to all
United States commissioners that
in all cases coming before them,
where the defendants are commit

must be assigned to the Vinita
term of court.
United States Marshal Bennett
left Tuesday night with a carload
of prisoners-thirty-two in all
that have been sentenced to terms
of imprisonment ranging from one
to twenty-five years. Among the
prisoners are beardless boys and
gray-haired men. The offenses
charged against them embraces
every crime from the theft of a
