SECRETARY ROOTS POSITIVE
 STATEMENT.

Yellow journals which have tried
 to run the war in the Philippines and their smaller fry echoes which have been on the newspaper firing line, aiming their volleys at General Otis. will draw but little cousols- ton or comfort from the following very positive sststement giveL out by Secretary Root:
 You may say that neither Presi- dent MeKilley nor myself has ever thought about dispIseiDg Gen. Otis or limiting his authority, We have never even mentioned this subject in our discussions. We both not only believe, but absolutely know, that General Otis has done as we'll with the facilities at bis command as any body could hare done. We kGow a better mar could not be fouad for she comnaad. Put this as strong as you can find language to put it."
 The war department believes that Gen. Otis can end the rebellion with in three months after the rainy sea son ends; that when the snow begins to melt in the corners of fences up in New England next spring. there not only will bs no insurrection in the Philippines, but there will be pretty decent sort of a government there, and the people will enjoy the change.
 Naval Constructor George Neu- dick of the German navy, who has just returned to New York, en route home from Manila after a three years service there, and who has witnessed all the military and naval operations in the islands, speaking of the situation there said:
 q look upon Gen. Otis as a much abused man He has about Ixenty thousand men under his comu1and, and he IS expected to subdRs- and Paciiy a poRilation of we zdon't know how ms y millions. An army of 100000 uni St be able to doIt. 70"

ADMIRAL DEWEY
Alleged to Have Improperly Given
Away Spanish Brass Cannon Sec
rotary Longs Statement.

Special TO the Register.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, November g.
The village of Three Oaks has gained
considerable fame through the award
ing to that town Of the Dewey cannon,
by the National Monument Committee.
When President Mckinley and MEM
bers of his cabinet visited Kalamazoo
October 18th, reporter interviewing
Secretary Long, mentioned that Three
Oaks had become famous because Of
having been awarded the Dewey cam
non. Secretary Long said he had heard
that Three Ooaks had received such a
gun, and added, "but l have no Off
cial knowledge Tell me what you
know about it"
The reporter told Secretary Long
that the cannon was an ancient brass
one, captured in the Philippines by
Admiral Dewey and presented by him
personally to the National Monument
Committee to be awarded to the town
or city making the largest contribution
in proportion to its population towards
a monument for the martyrs of the
Maine.
Without hesitancy, Secretary Long
said: "'If such are the facts Admiral
Dewey has given away property that
did not belong to him, and property
which he had no more right to dispose
of than you or any other person. II
Admiral Dewey captured this cannon
it became the property Of the United
States and not his personal property.
The government gives away condemned
cannon, but as this gun had never
been received by the government It
could not have been condemned. All
the proceedings in the case seem to me
to be very peculiar and extraordinary"
The cannon is beautiful brass gun
Tx feet In length, 10 inches at the muz-
zle. IA inches at the butt; weight about
1900 pounds.

STEEL BARS
Take Another Jump of Five Dollars
Ton IN Price Cannot Be Had Even
at the New Figures.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 9.-The
price of steel bars was advanced in Pitts
burg to-day from $3.50 per 100 pounds to
81. 70 for prompt delivery. This means an
increase of $500 per ton. Even at these
figures it is almost impossible to obtain
steel bars for use any time prior to the
first of the coming year. For delivery in
the second quarter OF 1900. price of $3.50
per 100 pounds is asked.
There has been very little buying or
selling of any kind in iron and steel this
week, owing to the fact that the capacity
of the steel mills and blast furnaces is
sold out entirely for the remainder of the
year, and the only orders that are given
at the gilt edged prices demanded by man
ufacturers are those of an emergency ma
ture Iron and steel sellers to-day pre-
dicted a quiet market until the latter part
of the year, and that no contracts of i'm
portance will be made until into the new

London Crowds Not Satisfied With The

Usual Lord MAY or's show.
LONDON, November 9.-The Lord May
or's show, which marked the Induction of
A. j. Newton into office vas favored to-
day by exceptionally brilliant weather.
Anticipated floats failed to satisfy the Lon
don crowds who poured out IN enormous
numbers to vent their martial enthusiasm.
The streets were lavishly decorated with
flags, but the absence Of the detachment
of the household cav4lry and jae sGbsu-
tuition of a number of schoOlboJ brigades
testified to the presence of the veteran
regiments at the front.
A car representing Great Britain sur
rounded by her sons, the Caradian and
Australian volunteers, evoked hearty APP
plause, as did the boys of the Duke Of
York's royal military school. he crowds,
however, wanted khaki uniforms and re-
fused to be reconciled with the Lord May
or's coach and other emblems Of purely
civic power.
At the Guild Hall banquet the Marquis
of Salisbury Lord Wolseey Mr.. Richie,
Lord George Hamilton, Lord Halsbury,
the Lord Chief Justice, the Duke of MARI
borough and a few minor diplomates were
present. Mr.. Chamberlain was absent.
Lord Salisbury and Lord Wolseley were
warmly cheered as they passed from the
reception in the library into the banquet
ing hall. The Lord Mayor proposed The
Minister'S in a speech in which he vigor-
ously denounced 1.-THE ignorant arrogance
of the invader" dwelling on the fact that
Sir Alfred Miner, in spite of herculean
exertions was unable to prevail with the
overbearing, corrupt, oligarchy, therefore
others of our champions have the busi-
ness in the hand"
During the course of the banquet Lord
Wolseley announced that orders had been
given to mobilize another division for
South Africa and that the government was
quite prepared to mobilize second army
corps.
