Presentation of a Sword.

A special from Savannah, Ca,
says: A striking tribute from
the volunteer privates to the
regular army officer was noted
here this afternoon in the pre-
seutation to Colonel Lether
Hardeman, of the Sixth Missouri,
of magnificent sword by the
privates of his command. No
commanding officer was permit
ted to contribute a cent towards
the cost Of the sword, which
was intended to express the
thanks and appreciation OF the
men in the ranks.
The sword cost $500, and is
said to be as handsome as the
one manufactured by Tiffany for
Admiral Dewey.
Colonel Hardeman was at first
unpopular with the men because
of his strlctness in discipline.
But as time passed and the regi~
ment's sick list was kept down
and its bill Of fare kept up, the
men quickly learned and appre>
ciated the value of being COM
manded by competent regular

HIS SUCCESSOR NAMED.
The Hero of Manila Bay will go
Direct to New York when
He Returns to the
United States.

The Navy Department has
selected a successor to Admiral
Dewey to command the Asiatic
station. Orders were issued
Monday detaching Rear Admiral
Watson from command of the
Mare Island navy yard and Or
dering him to report to Admiral
Dewey at Manila to relieve that
officer VIXEN he feels that he can
be spared there. Rear-Admiral
Kempff, at present on waiting
orders, has been ordered to suc>
ceed Admiral Watson in cons
mand of the Mare Island yard.
1t was stated at the Depart
ment Monday that Admiral
Dewey would go from Manila
direct to New York, when he
returns to the United States.

Der, has completed the work it
has undertaken, at least so far as
it relates to the restoration of
peace in the islands.
The reason he will carry the
flagship Olympia to New York,
instead of having to go to San
Francisco, where she was bu,lt,
is said to be primarily because
Admiral Dewey desires to make
the passage on his own flagship,
out also for the reason that the
Mare Island navy yard threatens

work as soon as the numerous
vessels of Deyey's feet begin to
return to the United States. The
Olympia is in need of a thorough |
overhauling, having been away |

Asiatic fleet, and rendered more |!

the most powerful microscope
hitherto in use magnifies to ten
thousand diameters, Doctor
Gates instrument maltiplies this
result by thirty-six hundred, and
nagnihes an. object to three
million, six hundred thousand
times its diameter. This, hoW>
only represents actual achieves
ment; and the professor conhd~
emily expects to reach ,nagni>
hcation to one hundred million
diameters.
The process by which this
astounding result has been
achieved is too complicated for
a full description. Doctor Gates
earliest results were obtained by
first focusing a one sixth inch
objective on a diatem. This gave
an image magnihed to six huns
dred diameters. He then remov-
ed from the eye piece the front
lens, and, taking another micros-
cope, placed the front lens of the
new objective in the real image
of the first microscope. By this
means an enlargement to seventy
thousand diameters was obtained
By using one sixth inch OBJ
iective on the second instru ment
the diatom was magni6ed to no
less than three million, six hun
dred thousand diameters. This,
however. according to Doctor
Gates, represents the present
limits Of visibility, owing to the
extreme faintness of the light
when diffused over such large
area. For this 1eason experts
nents had to be conducted in
room from which all luminous

MAY YET FIGHT IN NEW
YORK.
RumOr That FitzsimmonS IS
Willing to Battle at Leuox
Club.

| There is still considerabl
mystery relative to the final sci
ection of battle-ground for the
hight between Bob Fitzsim mon.
and Jim Jeffries. While the gen.
eral opinion is that the battle
will take place i'll the West, in
formation was received yester
day which is ground for the be.
lief that in the end the encounter
may be decided at the Lenox
Athletic Club, of this city. Ac-
cording to good authority Fitz-
simmons has seen the e1ror OF
his ways and has arranged a
compromise with the officials OF
the local club. 1t is said that the
champion has relented, and has
taken every work back which
he has uttered against the club
and its methods OF conducting
boxing matters.
AS the : story goes, Fitzsim
mors is quite tired of rowing all
over the country and is satisfied
to seek rest and quiet with his
family somewhere near New
York. Feeling sure that the mill
would come off at Coney Island
Fitz selected training quarters
at Bath Beach. He has been lo>
Gated there nearly week, and
says that in all his career he has
never found more healthy spot.
Knowing that if the fight takes
place in Denver he will be com
pelled to give up his home and
subject his family to considers
abe Inconvenience, Fitz has de-
cided, so it is reported, to give
way to the local organization,
the officials of which he has
hitherto regarded as his enemies.
The possible chance of getting
larger gate receipts has also
made him take this step.
The reporters informant said
yesterday that on the very day
after the Coney Island Club
failed to receive a license from
the Police Board Fitzsimmons
sent a representative asking if
the LenoX Club would handle
the mill. The club officials,
quite surprised at this unexpect-
ed turn of affairs, >ent back
word, 1t is said, that they did not
want the combat. Fitz was also
informed that he could not fight
there. AS will be remembered,
the following day the club held
a meeting and publicly announc
ed that the directors had decid>
ed not to bid for or pull the mill
off. The Broadway Athletic Club
which is piloted by the same
management, follwed suit with a
similar proclamation. AS the
reporters informant put it yes
terday
"The Lenox Club is going to
take its time about bidding for
the mill, but it will eventually
give in and make an offer. You
can bet, it will be readily accept
ed, and the fight, so have been
told, will come off in June, or
possibly on May Goth. The Con>
ey Island Club will never get a
license"
Several kilograms passed be-
tween Billy Brady and Otto
Floto, the Denver promoter,
yesterday. Nothing was done,
however, to form any definite
opinion where the mill will be
held. Brady, when asked when
the matter would finally be ar
ranged, said:
Its all vague now. thought
yesterday it would be settled by
Monday, But now 1 don't know.
It's vague, that's what it is
