lDewe, as q Presidential Possibility.

The significant fact in connection with the return of Admiral Dewey to his native country, is the very strong sentiment throughout the east to have him nominated for the presidency. The fact that he has discouraged all 1vertures to identify him with politics does not in the least discourage those who believe him to be the most ayaila- able. as we'll as the best equipped. man for the highest office in the gift of the American people. Dewey Is n demo- crat. and if nominated it would be by that party, which knowledge IS causing q good deal of uneasiness in admins tration circles, and an effort on the mart of republican organs to discour- age the movement sS lar as possible.
 Admiral Dewey, so soon after re- turning to the United States and before he bas had time to consider the politi- cal situation, would naturally be ad- verse to committing himself on n ques' tion of such supreme importance, bnt it is argued, with much force, that no man ever refused the presidency of the United States, and it Is not likely that he would, if tendered him by any thing like the unanimous voice of the democratic party. The qualifications of Admiral Dewey for the presidency are unouestioned They are greater, perhaps, than were those of Generals Jackson and Taylor when nominated. Not only his superb military achieve ment in Manila Bay, but the excellent judgment displayed afterwards in nc- ootiations with the Filipinos and his .oand common sense seemingly on all subjects, and entire absence of egotism, commend him to the favor of the American people.
 If left to the popular will, there eau be no doubt but that Dewey would be our next president, but it is also eyi dent that there are strong influences against hs nomination. Both national parties are thoroughly organized anc Il the hands of adroit politicians wht would be shorn of much of thelr Tn

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald, Henry Mcfarland, than whom there Is none better in formed of what is going on n oflicial circles, states that the retirement of General Otis from command in the Philippines Is among the strong prob abilities of the near future. His sue cessor will likely be General Merritt, and the change. if made, will be upon the advice of Admiral Dewey, who in response to the presidents questions, stated plainly that an aggressive and broad minded military commander is needed in the Philippines, and that General Otis does not possess these qualifications. He did not need to point ont to the president that the character of the chief military com mander in the Philippines was more important in considering the problem If suppresslng the instruction than .he size of the military and naval forces It his disposal He had only to lay before the president the consideration which moved him to believe that Gen sral Otis was not the man for the place. The president was much impressed with Admiral Dewey's advice and, it IS said with his cabinet, will consider the question during their western trip, and decide before returning to Wash ington how the change can best be made.

Albert Mi1Ier's Death Yesterday in
Lodging-House.

About o'clock yesterday morning
an unknown man subsequently ascer-
tanned to be Albert Miller) died at the
Gleeman clearinghouse at Third and
streets. Nothing was known concern
ing him, except that he had slept there
two or three nights and that he claimed
to have been employed at a restaurant
near Fourth and K streets.
The man, who seemed to be in poor
health, was taken violently i'll on Sat
urday night, and the night clerk of the
establishment went to the police sta
ton and asked that the City Physician
be called. He was told that the physi-
clan would be called if the man were
first taken to the Receiving Hospital
but not otherwise. He declined to or
der the stranger, who had paid for his
lodging, taken to the hospital, and the
result was that he died without medical
attendance.
Coroner McMullen took charge of the
remains, and DR.. Atkinson held an
autopsy yesterday afternoon. The ex-
animation showed that death Zesulted
from appendicitis and peritonitis In
the vermiform appendix was found a
perfect grape seed, which undoubtedly
caused the trouble. Cases where grape,
tomato or other small seeds have been
found to have caused appendicitis are,
according to physicians, exceedingly
rare
Last evening it was learned that the
deceased's name was Albert Miller
that he was a native of Germany and
was only a few days ago discharged
from the County Hospital.
