ADMIRAL DEWEY.

Admiral Dewey's request that he be
Immediately complied With. This is
not cheap vanity on his part but he
makes the request as he says that the
dignity of the country may be upheld.
In his present position on all occasions
where foreign admirals appear he is
obliged to take place back Of both
vice admirals and admirals, though
they are oftent1mes representative
of third and fourth class powers. The
United States, as one of the leading
powers of the world, should give it's
representative abroad a rank which
shall enable him to occupy position
with the representatives of other pow
ers in accordance with that taken by
his government. But throwing all
such considerations aside the Ameri-
can people will be glad to confer this
honor upon the man, who, by his feat
in destroying the Spanish fleet at Ma
Mia, has shown himself worthy to be
ranked with the greatest admirals in
ling affairs there to the present time
brings him to the front as born dip
lomat. Among all the names which
have come to the front during the
past war none have shone with the
luster of Dewey's and his work should
be recognized by advancing him to
the position of full admiral and con-
tinuing him on the active list ten
years beyond that Of the regular
service.

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL PASSED
BY THE SENATE.

Ire Senate mas paSS6Q Un0 MGR
ragua canal bill. A number of amend
ments were made to it, and there
were many short speeches.. There
was, however, no opposition to a
vote when the time came, and a roll
call developed only six votes in op-
position to it's final passage.
The bill, as it passed, continues the
name Of the Maritime Canal Compa
ny. It provides for the issu ance of
100000 shares of stock of 500 each.
The canal company is required to call
in all the stock issued except that
held by the Nicaraguan and Costa
Rican governments. The company is
also required to redeem and cancel
by the company and to satisfy all
cash liabilities.
To enable the company to comply
with this requirement, treasury war
rants to the amount of $5,000,000 are
authorized with proviso to the ef-
feet that only SO much of the amount
shall be paid as shall be required to
pay the actual cash value of the rights,
privileges, franchises and property at
the time of the payment, the value to
be determined by commissioners to
be appointed by the President. This
being done, the secretary Of the treas
ury is authorized to subscribe for
925, 900 shares of the company's stock
for the government of the United
States. The present members of the
board of directors are then to resign,
and board Of seven is to be appoint
ed in their stead, consisting Of five on
behalf of the United States, and one
each on behalf of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica.
The directors on behalf of the Unit
ed States are to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Sen
ate. No two Of them are to be resi-
dents of any one state, and no person
who has heretofore been interested in
the canal company is to be appointed
to this Office. They are also prohib-
lied from being interested in con-
tracts on the canal. Each of the di-
rectors, except the president is to re-
ceive a salary of $4,000 per year, and
the president is to have $4,000. All
travelling expenses are to be paid.
Annual reports are required. There
is provision against declaring a div
idend except upon the net earnings.
The company is authorized to con-
tract for the completion of the canal
within six years. The payments are
restricted to $50, 900, 600 annually. The
canal is to be made large enough ''for
the use Of the largest seagoing yes
sells, at cost not to exceed S115, ,OOO,-
0OO." This amount is made a perma-
nent appropriation for the work, to
be u ed as occasion may require.
The bill gives the government a
lien upon the property to secure the
. repayment Of the moneys advanced,
and the Presideut is empowered to
declare forfeiture of the pre- perty to
the United States without the neces-
sity Of judicial or other ascertainment
Thereafter full title to rest in the gov
ernment of the United States.

pend pay ments at any time; also, to

An amendment has been made to
the Navy Personnel bill which will
abolish the prize money hitherto paid
for captures made on the sea. This is
an old custom and should have been
abolished years ago, as there is no
good reason for it. The same plan
might be followed out in regard to
captures made on land with equal
propriety and no one would advo-
cate such course. The sailors on
board Uncle Sans warships do not
need any such incentive as this to
make them do their level best under
all circumstances.
