GREAT RIVALRY IN
SUBSCRIBING FOR DEWEY

NEW YORK, May 20.-The Brooklyn
Eagle this evening says: Not only has
the Admiral Dewey house fund become
a matter of national interest, but it
looks now as If there would be friendly
rivalry among the cities of the Union
as to the number of subscribers that
would be placed upon the roll, which
will be handed to Admiral Dewey when
the presentation is made Every city
has taken q, sort Of pride in pushing the
subscription along. The old civic pride
for Brooklyn is apparent, for the mere
mention of the fact that San Francisco
had up to this day subscribed $1508 sent
Brooklyn subscriptions bounding up so
that they now top those of the city of
the Golden Gate. 1t is apparent that
the Brooklyn borough is not going to be
beaten by San Francisco in this pa
triotic enterprise, and letters which
have been received show that a strong
feeling Of rivalry exists"

Executive Committee Or
ganiZes to Provide
Funds.
Sure Of Success Senator Per-
kinS Makes a Novel Patriotic
Suggestion.

In giving an official title to the COM
mittee yesterday it was determined to
call it "a committee to erect a monu-
ment to the American navy in COM
memoration of the victory Of Admiral
Dewey at Manila" 1t will thus honor
the gallant "Jackies" who fought un-
der the Stars and Stripes, making
Dewey the central figure.
The question of collections has yet to
be settled by the general committee.
The members will have decided upon a
plan of action on Tuesday, and the
work Of getting the contributions will
begin Immediately. 1t is well to heed
the Scriptural injunction in this par
ticular: He that gives quickly gives
doubly."
Upon the assembling of the gentle
men selected by his Honor the Mayor,
Irving M. Scott moved that tempor-
ary organization be effected. Mayor
Phelan sketched in outline the objects
for which they had been called to-
gether, saying it was the intention to
erect a monument in honor of the navy
and of Admiral George Dewey. He
said the matter was still vague and
that it would deVolYe upon the COM
mittee to determine where the monu-
ment should be placed when completed;
it's character and its cost. He was con-
fident from the number of men of artis-
tic temperament on the committee tfat
a monument would be selected which
would be a lasting credit TO the me
! whom it was intended to honor.
There was a tone of. regret in his
voice when he said the Grant and Gar
| field monuments had been finally re-
jected as not being up to the required
standard. He felt assured the mem
bers of the committee would all take
an active part in the present move
ment and that the monument would be
built before any other community can
honor the heroes of Manila.
Upon motion of Mr.. Scott, Captain
R. H. Fletcher, curator of the Art As
sociation, was appointed temporary
secretary Upon rollcall the following
gentlemen were voted present: James
D. Phelan, Irving M. Scott, r. P.
Schwerin, w G. Stafford, Charles L.
Patton, Joseph S. Tobin, Professor c.
H Murphy Charles Bundschu, George
D. Clark Horace G. Platt and Captain
Fletcher.
The San Francisco call., 1899-05-21

The matter of permanent organiza-
ton was then approached. Mayor Phe-
Ian, at the urgent solicitation of the
gentlemen present, agreed to act as
chairman of the committee, saying he
felt assured the work which had been
undertaken would be pressed to a sue
cessful issue. Claus Spreckels was
chosen first vice president, Irving NJ.
Scott, second vice president; Captain
Fletcher, secretary The chairman was
empowered to select either bank or
an individual as custodian of the funds
which will be collected.
The question as to what number
should constitute a quorum for. the
transaction of business was then de-
bated Mr. Clark favored seven, while
Mr.. Patton favored five as being good
working number. Mr.. Platt and Mr.
Stafford both thought five too small
a number considering the responsible
ties which must devolve upon them
when questions of Casign and location
must be determined. The judgment of
many people will be obtained to the end
that the best selection may be made
Mr.. Patton urged that the public want
the first and best monument and that
a competent working majority was de-
sirable. The motion that seven of the
eighteen members constitute quorum
finally prevailed.
Mr.. Scott suggested that the chair
man and secretary retire and prepare
rules under which the committee could
work with the best results, and also
to name the subcommittee. The first
and second vice presidents were added
to the committee on organization.
Mr.. Bundschu, who is one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of the project,
urged that the entire committee act az

following: Rear Admiral Crownin-
shield chief of the bureau of naviga-
tion, told me to-day he believes that
Admiral Dewey will not speed the
Olympia. The department has left en-
tirely to that officer the determination
of time when he shall arrive at New
York, and Rear Admiral Crowninshield
seems to think that he will not reach
his destination until fall To settle the
matter there is reason to believe that
the department will cable to the ad-
miral when the Olympia reaches Hong
kong, requesting to be advised of the
outline of his itinerary. The receipt of
this information will be valuable to the
President and the department as well
as to the public Mr.. Mckinley is
naturally desirous of knowing when TO
expect the admiral, as that officer re-
tains his membership on the Philippine
Commission and besides is charged
with presenting to the chief executive
the views Of his colleagues on the en-
tire Philippine question.
Secretary Long would like to have an
idea of the time of the admirals arri-
val, in order that he may make prepar-
ations will probably take the form of
orders to Rear Admiral Sampson TO
meet the Olympia with the squadron
under his command at some point to be
designated just as soon as the route OF
the admirals flagship is ascertained
If the admiral should decide that he
ought to come home without delay
though not forcing the Olympia, he will
be able to arrive in New York in sixty
days, or about July 20. From Hongkone
the Olympia will proceed to Singapore
thence to Colombo, where she will take
on COAL and from Colombo will go tC
Alden. 1t may be considered advisable
to replenish the Olympia's coal supply
at that port, and then she will con-
tinue her cruise, stopping next at Suez
where arrangements will be made fOI
the vessels passage through the canal
Once through the canal the Olympia
will turn her prov to the westward
and if the admiral desires. to take 4
leisurely cruise, he will probably order
the Olympia to various ports along the
Mediterranean, stopping at Malta and
Gibraltar, where the English garrisons
will probably pleasantly greet him
From Gibraltar the Olympia will sal
for the Azores, and then for New York

persons perished in the confiagration.
The news was brought from Dawson
by c. Hume of Seattle and t. Reilly
who made the trip out with the news
at the risk of their lives for the ice is
broken and unsafe. They were obliged
to make big detours and experienced
great privations. Hume is a son of ex-
Mayor Hume of Seattle.
They report that the fire occurred on
April 26 in the very center of the city.
It commenced near the opera house, on
the water front. Spreading with un-
usual rapidity, famed by a strong
northeast wind, it destroyed building
after building. eating its way down the
street to and including Donahue &
Smiths establishment and taking in all
the water front buildings abreast of the
same blocks. In other words, the fire
crossed the street, burned through and
spread over to Second street, covering
the principal business portion of Daw-
son, leaving it all in ashes, with the
flremen helpless and powerless to do
anything The fire consumed every
thing from Timmins Royal Cafe down
to and opposite the Fairview Hotel.
1t was a terrible conflagration, for,
said Mr.. REILLY, every building burned
like tinder They had been standing
two years and the logs were as dry as
powder. The whole place seemed to be
a sea of roaring and leaping flames.
The excitement was intense. AS the
flames raced along the streets, crack
ling and roaring, the citizens ran panic
stricken before them, unable to save
anything in the way of furniture. goods
or clothing Everything that the
greater number of them possessed was
swept away and hundreds will be des-
titute There will be a great deal of
suffering if not actual starvation III

Ambng the firms known to have been
burned out were the Bank of British

a sculptor at work on marble or bronze
at an early date.
Mayor Phelan complimented his as
sociates on their leanings toward the
artistic, saying he felt assured they
would select design that would be an
ornament to the city. He holds strong
ideas on the subject of the City Beau
tiful," believing Market street should
be dotted with artistic groups of statu-
ary. He has done his share in this re-
gard as shown in the fountain SYM
bolical of California which he dedicated
to the Native Sons. His Honor believes
every gore on the north side of Mark ,
street from the ferry to Van Ness ave-
nue. should be ornamented with artistic
cgroups of statuary.
The standard of art has been raised
materially in recent years on this coast.
This is marked by the rejection of the
Garfield and Grant monuments and by
the interest manifested in art exhibi-
tions of all kinds. To educate the pub
lie and develop in them a desire for
the artistic the Mayor would erect
statues wherever possible. The Dewey
monument he would place where every
body entering the city would see 1t
without being compelled to go in quest
of it.
The gentlemen of the committee have
no misgivings as to the possibility OF
raising the funds required. They did
not discuss that detail of their duties
yesterday, leaving it in the hands of
their executive committee to map out
plan of campaign. This Will be sub
mitted at the next meeting in the Office
of Mayor Phelan on Tuesday. Decks
will then be cleared for action and the
collection of funds commenced in

Statue Committee at it's meet
ing yesterday in the office of
his Honor, Mayor James D.
Phelan. In addition to the chief execu-
tive the members present were Irving
NJ. Scott, c. L. Patton, Professor c. H.
Murphy Charles Bundschu, w. G..
Stafford, George D. Clark, Joseph S.
Tobin, Captain R. H. Fletcher, r. P.
Schwerin and Horace G. Platt.
The dominant tone of comment from
the men gathered in the name of the
people of this city was that the pro-
posed movement to honor Admiral
George Dewey and the men who fought
with him at Manila was assured Of sue
cess from the outset. That Dewey of
all living Americans holds the first
place in the estimation of the people
of this coast was shown by the efforts
put forth to induce him to return to
the land he has SO ably represented
through the Golden Gate. A small part
of the energy which would have been
expended on the greeting accorded him
had he returned this way will, if di-
reeted toward providing a suitable
monument, yield grand results.
After the organization of the COM
mittee yesterday an informal discus
sion ensued as to the probable cost of
the statue and the most appropriate
location. 1t was suggested that from
100000 to $150,000 would be required
and the gentlemen of the committee
seemed confident they could raise the
amount without difficulty. 1t is not
proposed to make this a local move
ment, limited merely to the metropoli-
tan district, but one to be taken up
throughout the State. The committee
men will strive earnestly to press the
matter to a successful issue and have

This fire came at time when the
mills and dealers in building materials
had exhausted their winters supplies,
and were awaiting the opening of navi-

result is that there is dearth of all

The BoDY's PURIFIER.

The kidneys and liver act as
purifiers for the human body.
The blood, which is the life,
is relieved by them of all poi
sonous and effete matter, and
passes onward to energize and
vitalize the entire system.
Most important, then, is it
that these organs should ade-
quately perform their proper
functions, and happily an
agent exists which, when they
become disordered, congested
and all clogged up, can re-
store them quickly to their
normal healthy condition.
1t has blessed the world for
20 years, and is known as
Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has
saved thousands of lives, and
is today the only known spe-
citic for all diseases and weak
nesses of kidneys and liver.
