ADMIRAL DEWEY's HEALTH.
Some Foundation For the Recent
Alarming Reports.

Washington, March 9.-When his at
tention was called to the dispatch from
Vancouver to the effect that Admiral
Dewey is breaking down and cannot
last month longer, Secretary Long
said that he had no information what
ever on this point. The stories of the
admiraTs ill-health have been in circu-
Iation with more or less persistency 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 Dewey's health, so far as it could
be gagged from his appearance, Sp-
pears to be about the same as it has
been for the past year, they agree that
the private reports probably have q
fair basis of fact.
1t is not denied by those officers that
Admiral Dewey has changed in ap-
pearance in the past year. His hair is
undoubtedly winter and his figure
shows signs of weakness. which might
be expected to come with advancing
years. Dewey will be 81 years old next
December, and for many years has not
been a strong man physically. Mean
time he has had imposed upon him the
most exacting duties, so that it is but
natural that his frail physique should
show the effect of the tremendous
strain. 1t is said by persons 1aInlnar
with the Philippine climate that the
second wear is the hardest to bear for
a, Caucasian, and Dewey will soon be-
gin his second year there. In addition
to this. he labors under the drawback
of having undergone a most severe sur
gicaI operation for the relief of his liver.
A man needs q. sound liver in the Phil
ippfnes. of all places. These facts lead
naval officers to believe reports that
Dewey is showing signs of 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 records
of the bureau of medicine and surgery
They show every ailment that he has
experienced since he has been in the
navy. as well as the results of the ply
steal examinations he has undergone
when he has been promoted from time
TO time. But these do not disclose any
compIaint at this time. The admiral
has not been made the subject OF sick
report since he went to Manila. Soma

While the changes were being made
the noise grew louder President Neb-
eker beat upon his desk in vain for the
pandemonium only grew greater. CO.
hen could not count the result and when
finally he handed up the ballot slip the
crowd was fairly Whooping it up. An
instant quiet came as President Neb-

Journed without electing a senator.
SENATOR RAWLINS APPEARS.
Senator Rawlins came into the as
sembly hall just as the joint assembly
convened at noon and as soon as the
members and the spectators recognized
him he was greeted with cheers and ap
plause and demands for a speech. At
first he was reluctant to respond, but at
length he arose and spoke very briefly
as follows:
You are here for more important
business than TO listen to any remarks
which l could possibly make. [ simply
rise to thank you for your kind DEM
onstration upon this occasion, and hope
you will now proceed as patriotic citi-
zens Of this state, to do your duty as
your conscience urges you to do"
Representative Heber Bennion had
evidently been doing some tall thinking
over night, for when his name was
called on the first ballot of the day he
voted for A. w. McCune, saying that
he did so to meet his fellow Democrats
half way. He said:

Quzrie and Robertson returned from

certainly give the McCune faction the

should have the choice, and it is a fair
proposition, but 1t is a very late hour
for us to build up a new candidate that
will succeed, that is, with so many
stubborn Democrats. If we were all
like myself we could do it. But I pro-
pose this morning, in the face of the
fact that l still believe that the way
for the election of McCune should be
cleared better than it is, by the unani-
nous report of the committee, that the

to that upon which ohtre property
is taxed, passed its final stage in the
house this afternoon, when that body
concurred in all the amendments to the
bill made by the senate. There were no

concurrence and the bill now goes to
Governor Pingree for signature
The bill as finally enacted repeals
former acts, under which railroads were
taxed in proportion to their gross earn

the governor, with consent OF the SEN
ate, of a board of assessors, the mem

accounts OF the companies to whom it
applies, and who shall assess these
companies property at the average rate
of state, county and municipal taxes
upon all property within the state. Va
rious features of the act Will doubtless
be tested in the supreme court.
The enactment of the bill which has
been subject of discussion for years
past, is considered a triumph for Gov
ernor Pingree. and it is not believed
that the amendments made by the SEN
ate will detract from the objects of the
bill to any extent

All blame for the accident is attached
to Engineer Topham, who started on his

were welded into an almost solid mass of
iron. and all that remains of the locomo-

thing that came in contact with it.
The passengers were badly shaken up
but none of them received injuries. 1t
would have been different, however, If
Engineer Hamilton had not given the
signal to put on the brakes and reversed

JONES' CONDITION is SERIOUS
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN AFFLICT-
ED WITH HEART TROUBLE.
Must Avoid All Exertion and Is Lii
able to Another Dangerous Attack
at Any Time.

Washington, March Ex-senator Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the national Dem
ocratic committee, is in a precarious con-
dition, owing to his liability TO another
dangerous attack OF heart trouble at any
time. AS is usually the case in the inter-
walls between attacks of this nature, he
is getting along very well Just now. and
today was in comparatively fair condi-
ton after a good nights rest but is
maintaining the utmost caution and, IN
der strict orders of his physician. is avoid
ing any exertion. This is a radical
change, for Senator Jones is of active
habits, and he naturally chafes under it.
His malady, angina. pectoris, is at best a
grave one, and the outcome can never. be
foreSeen- So far. however, there have
been no untoward complications in Sen
ator Jones case, and there is a strong
hope that. with absolute quiet and rest
away from his work for a considerable
period, he may recover.

Haskins said: 1T will be an easy matter
to make Havana, not only one of the rich
est, but also one of the healthiest large
cities anywhere to be found. AT present
the principal difficulty that meets the
civil government is the lack OF money
with which to administer it. Havana's
only resources now are out of the Gus
toms duties, which. of course, should be
applied to the government of the cOun-
try"
