GOVERNOR MMrLLrN's POSITION.


Governor Sayers and Attorney General
Smith were in receipt OF number OF let
tiers today from governors and attorneys
general relating to the proposed antitrust
conference to be held in ST. Louis Septem-
Der 20. Governor Benton McMulin OF Ten
nessee writes; You have probably seen
the statement going the rounds that l am
opposed to holding the meeting for the
purpose of considering trusts and that /
would not attend. This Is wholly without
foundation, and desire TO say to you that
Will attend the meeting and do what |
can TO resist the tide which | regard as
exceedingly threatening both to the finan-
ciel stability OF the people and the well
fare of the country.
whilst l believe that the tariff which
was enacted by the republican party is the
main prop on which the trust system
rests, and that therefore the Federal gov
eminent is the most potent agent in Great
ing and sustaining trusts by this vicious
legislation, there are certain steps that the
States can take, and | think whatever can
be done by the Federal or State govern
ment within the bounds of the constitu-
ton should be done which tends TO check
the tide which threatens to deluge the
country"

HOUSEHOLD BOOKKEEPING.

The old adage has IL that "A wife can
throw out with the spoon more than the
husband can put in with the shovel"
but Edna Sanderson gives in the March
Woman's Home Companion some very
practical suggestions on this question.
He says: Conducting the affairs of
household IL just as much a business,
and affords the same opportunity as II
mercantile business for the exercise OF
judgment. Many "A good income has

MAKING HOMES ATTRACTIVE.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS

ADMIRAL DEWEYS HEALTH.

Washington, March 9--When his at
tention was called To the statement
coming from Vancouver 10 the effect
that Admiral Dewey is breaking down
ana cannot last month longer. Secre-
tary Long said he had no Information
whatever on this point. The stories OF
the admrars ill-health have been in
circulation with more or less persls-
teucy for the past four months. They
are all traceable to private reports and
though officers of the navy who have
returned recently from Manila state
that Deweys health so far as it could
be gauged from his appearance ap-
pears to be about the same as II has
been for the past year they agree that
the private reports probably have a
fair basis OF fact.
IL Is not denied by these officers that
the admiral has aged I'm his appear
ance notably within the past year: his
hair is undoubtedly whittier ana his fig
ure shows signs of that weakness which
might be expected to come with ad-
yancing years. Dewey will be 62 years
old next December, ana for many
years has not been strong man physi-
cally. Meantime he has had imposed
upon him the most severe and exact
ing duties so that il Is but natural that
his frail physique should show the ef-
fects of the tremendous strain.
II is said by persons familiar with
the Philippine climate that the second
year is hardest to bear for caucasian.
and Dewey 'soon will begin his second
year there. In addition to this. he Ia
bors under the drawback of having un-
dergone a most severe surgical opera
ton for the relief OF his liver. These
facts lead naval officers To believe re-
ports that Dewey is showing signs or
physical strain.
on the other hand, as already stated,
there Is absolutely no official evidence
on file at the department to show that
this is true. The full medical history
of Admiral Dewey is among the rec
ords of the bureau of medicine ana
surgery. They show every ailment
that he has experienced since he has
been i'm the navy. as we'll as the results
of the physical examinations he has
undergone, when he has been promoted
from time to time. But these do not
disclose any complaint at this time;
the admiral has not been made the
subject OF sick report since he went
| To Manila. Some time ago the presi-
dent feared that the great strain he
was under might overtax him so he
cabled Dewey through Secretary Long
permission to return TO the United
States The admiral declined to avail
himself of this permission and asked To
stay.
He is free 10 return to the United
States whenever he cares 70 do SO, and
the department will relieve him by ca
bled orders. In that case Captain y. III.
Dyer. the commander of the Baltimore.
who is the senior captain on the Ash
attic station. would have command OF
the American squadron temporarily.

Railroad company 20 lay an additional

bridge now taken care OF by the town.
The town within few months, N this
contract Is not made. would have to re-
new many OF the foundation timbcrs

dollars. The only expense remaining for
the town would be that OF furnishing
the top planking Of the bridge TO within
