DEWEY IS COMING HOME
DEPARTMENT ORDERS WATSON TO
MANILA TO RELIEVE HIM.
DATE OF HIS RETURN NOT FIXED.
A Ton Thousand Dollar Banquet To Great
Sailor IL Now Being Arranged
Tor In New York.

A Washington special says: The
navy department has selected sue
cessor to Admiral Dewey to command
the Asiatic station. Orders were issued
Monday detaching Rear Admiral Wat
son from command of the Mare island
navy yard and ordering him to report
to Admiral Dewey at Manila to re-
lieye that officer when he feels that he
can be spared there.
Rear Admiral Kempt, at present on
waiting orders, has been instructed to
succeed Admiral Watson in command
of the Mare island navy yard.
1t was stated at the navy depart
ment that Admiral Dewey will come
from Manila direct to New York when
he returns to the United States. How
ever, it is added the admiral will not
start until the commission of which he
is a member has completed the work
it has undertaken, at least so far as it
relates to the restoration of peace to
the islands.
The reason for bringing the flag
ship Olympia to New York instead OF
having her come to San Francisco,
where she was built, is said to be pri-
marily because Admiral Dewey desires
to make the passage on his own flag
ship, but also for the reason that the
Mare island yard threatens to be over
whelmed with repair work as soon af
the numerous vessels of Dewey's feet
begin to return to the United States,
The Olympia is in need of over
hauling, being away from her home
station longer than any of the vessels
in the Asiatic fleet and has suffered
more than usual hardship during hel
absanCa.

FRESH REBEL TROOPS
Are Brought 60 Oppose tho Onward
March Of the Americans

Are Brought 60 Oppose the Onward
March Of the Americans.
A special from Manila under date Of
May 9TH, stated that TO clear the Fill
ipinos Of Bacolor would DO the next
task Of the Americans.
The rebel general, Mascardo has a
force Of 1000 men there, we'll armed
and possessed Of plenty Of ammuni-
ton. His troops have never met
American soldiers, aud they think, ac-
cording to reports carried 10 San Fer.
nando, that they can whip the whole
lot.
Bacolor is we'll intrenched and thou
sands Of natives are working like
beavers digging trenches and carrying
the dirt in baskets. The enemy uses
his rifemen for fighting only, but
compels the Bolo men and Chinese to
labor necessarily.
The rebels have an outpost about a
mile beyond San Fernando, with a
trench that holds between two and
three hundred men. From that point
several yolleys were fired Saturday
night upon the camp Of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment.
Neither Major General Macarthur
nor Major General Lawton moved
Sunday, although each reconnoitered
the country in his own vicinity for
some miles from headquarters, devel-
oping the presence of small forces Of
the enemy.
In the vicinity Of La Guna de Bay
the rebels are extremely active, but
the lines of General Ovenshine and
Colonel Wholley, who is commanding
General Kings brigade during the
latter's illness, have been materially
strengthened, and there is no danger
in that direction.
The armed steamers La Guna de
Bay and Cavadonga, under Captain
Grant, have gone to Guagua, about
five miles southwest of Bacolor, pre-,
sumably to establish base of supplies
for the troops engaged on the northern
campaign.
It is rumored that Mabini, president
of the cabinet, and minister of foreign
affairs in the so-called Filipino gov
eminent, who is radical, is to be sue
ceeded by Palermo, the Trainer of the
Spanish treaty of 1895. This chang,
is regarded as significant at the pres
emit juncture.

VICTORY FOR GOV. JOHNSTON
ALABAMA SENATE PASSES BILL
REPEATING CONVENTION ACT.
BOTH HOUSES ADOPT THE MEASURE
The Auti-Repsalists Made n Vigorous and
Strong Fight But Were Va
successful.

A Montgomery special says; The
bill repeating the act which provided
for the holding Of a constitutional
convention in Alabama, after having
passed the house last week, passed
the senate Monday evening by a vote
Of 10 to -, every member Of the senate
being in his seat and voting.
For several days it was foregOne
conclusion that the repeal bill would
become a law, but the opposition to it
was so determined and so aggressive
that the tension Of popular anxiety did
not relax until the vote was taken
Monday night. The actual vote on
the passage Of the bill was IS to 10, but
one senator changed his vote from no.
to aye in order to move q reconsidera-
ton.
The anti-repeal majority Of the demo-
cratic state executive committee met
during the day, in obedience to the
call Of Chairman Lowe and made one
final effort to defeat the repeal by pro-
posing the following to the advocates
of repeal:
81. That the democratic state exeeu-
tive committee submit to the qualified
white voters of the state the question
Of convention or no convention, to be
voted in a primary held by said COM
mittee, the majority vote of the white
voters in the regular election in July.
SO. That the said committee shall
invite all white voters to participate
in said primary who will agree to
abide the result of the primary.
SO. That said committee shall pro-
vide representation at the ballot box
for supporters and opponents of the
constitutional convention"
Several objections to this PROPOSE
ton were found. If the white people
voted against the convention in the
primaries as the repealists insisted
they would another special session of
the Legislature would be necessary to
repeal the act on the statute books
providing for the holding of the July
election.
The senate was in continuous ses-
sion from noon until after 6 o'clock.
More than half the senators spoke,
several of the speeches heing exceed
ingly able ones.
The result is a great winning for
Governor Johnston. Both of the fed
eral senators, most of the congress-
men and the state committee united
in vigorous fight against the execu-
tive on account of his open advocacy
of repeal. Johnston is charged with
being a candidate for the United States
senate. If he is he has undoubtedly
made great winning, as he has con
trived to line all of his opponents, OF
probable opponents, up together and
win out over the combined lot of them.

Democratic National Committee VIII Out
line Plan of Campaign.
The preliminary plans for the cam
paign of 1900 are to be outlined at a
conference the members of the
democratic national committee to be
held at ST. Louis on the 25th of this
month. The conference is expected
to be of more than ordinary impor-
lance because Of the circumstances
surrounding the gathering and is nat
urally creating a good deal of discus
sion in democratic circles at the
national capital.
The call for the conference has been
issued by Ex-Governor Stone, of Mis-
souri,, who, in the absence of Senator
Jones in Europe, is acting as chair
man of what is known as the commit
tee on ways and means.

A Hairy Tree.

J. W. Roach, who has been down In
Madison county has made a discovery
that is a revelation to us, says Hhe
Gainesville (Ga) Advance. He brings
with him fine specimen Of hair that
appears to be as fine as human hair
and very strong. 1t Is as black as ieti
and rs straight as a line. 1t grows on
black jack trees and very luxuriantly.
1t was found on the land of DR.. G. w.
Westbrooks, near lila, and it promises
much for utility. 1t can be used for
weaving into cloth, stuffing collars,
buggy cushions and various other Sur
poses for which strong hair is used Il
seems that In its discovery DIR. West
brooks has become the owner Of a very
fine piece Of property; and when It Is
fully developed its uses viii be many.
We will watch with much interest the
result Of this discovery.

THE SOUTH'S SPONSOR.
Honor Placed Upon Daughter of General
Henry Heth.

Honor Placed Upon Daughter of General
Henry Heth.
General John B. Gordon, command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, appointed Miss Mamie Ran
dolph Heth, of Washington city, and
daughter of General Henry Heth,
sponsor for the entire south at the an
nual reunion in Charleston. Miss
Heth gracefully accepted the designa-
ton.
This most honored sponsorship at
these annual reunions to which the
heart of the confederacy gathers has
been filled on former occasions by Miss
Winnie Davis, the always cherished
Daughter of the Confederacy." Miss
Heth does not, however, by this ap-
pointment, succeed Miss Davis as
daughter of the Confederacy. After
much controversy following the death
of Miss Davis, it was decided that she
should have no successor in this re-
gard.

It is common aud not unnatural
thing for workmen in any line to OPP
pose the introduction of labor-saving
machinery. And yet, while this may
uphold their selfish interests for a
brief time it cannot stay the progress
of improvement. Engineering, the
we'll known English authority, says
that British workmen are steadfastly
opposed to the introduction Of modern
American labor-saving machinery, and
this opposition is supported by strikes
and other labor-union tactics. We
now see the retibution for this narrow
selfshness, when large orders for 10.
comotiyes and in fact nearly all kinds
of machinery are being taken away
from British firms and sent to Amer.
lea. Our more liberal aud enterpris-
ing methods and onr universal use Of
machinery makes it possible for us to
under bid English firms, notwithstand
ing we pay our machinists from two t.
three times what machinists in Eng
and are paid. A safe rule to adhere
to is not to try to stop the iuggernau
car Of progress.

The act passed in the British parlia-
ment last year for the establishment
Of reformatories for inebriates will
soon go into force, and the home sec
rotary has sent circular to all chair
men of quarter sessions explaining
how it may be worked effectively. It
deals with two classes of criminal inc
briates-tirst those who, under the
influence of drink, perpetrate serious
crimes punishable with Imprisonment
or penal servitude; and secondly,
habitual drunkards, who are guilty of
the various minor offenses which make
them public nuisances and entail liza
bility to fines OF short terms of inn
prisonment. Both classes may be
committed for any term up to three
years to certified inebriates reforma-
tories"

PANIC NARROWLY AVERTED.
Rev. Jones Predicts Sudden Deaths in His
Sermon and Woman Faints.


Sam Jones, in his revival meeting
at Louisville, KY, Monday night, be-
came very drastic After relating
several instances of sudden deaths in
towns in which he had preached, he
said:
''There will be deaths in Louisville
within thirty days that will startle the
town from center to circumference.
God will punish you, and the awful
words 1 now speak will come back to
you with shocking vividness.
The audience sat spellbound when,
at the close of the statement, a woman
near the platform fell headlong to the
ground in a dead faint. She was taken
home in an ambulance.
Many thought the woman had fallen
dead and panic was narrowly averted.

The future happiness and prosperity
of the great republic is based upon
the scientific education of the people
touching agricul ure, philosophers
the st. Louis Star. The man who
succeeds in inducing two blades of
grass to grow where only one grew be-
fore will be the beneiactor. Great
farms must give way to smaller ones,
aud smaller ones to those of still
lesser area, until the farm, as now
thought of, will not be known-an
acre, half acre, a fourth Of an acre, a
lot, patch of ground will constitute
the extent of the farms of the not
very distant future. When that time
comes, if education, precept and ex-
ample are properly inculcated the acre
will produce more than does now the
100 acres, and the patch will be more
prolific than is now any of the small
model farms of from 10 to 40 acres.

to a banquet to be given in his honor
by 100 prominent citizens.

When Admiral Dewey does arrive,
which it is believed will not be until

there will await him, in addition to
the civil celebration which will be
most elaborate, a banquet, the most
splendid ever prepared for an officer.
President Mckinley and Secretary
of the Navy Long will be invited to
the banquet. Whether or not they
will attend is another matter.

Major general Hutton, commanding
the militia forces of Canada, can give
her Maiesty's standing army points
on military discipline aud etiquette.
The general harbors a conviction that
mutual admiration societies are not
provocative of increased efficiency in
the profession of arms. He has, there
fore, issued a general order forbidding
all expressions OF appreciation or CEN
sure, of whatever sort, by officers or
soldiers aimed at their superiors, and
forbidding commanding officers to per-
NIT subscriptions for testimonials in
in any shape to superiors on quitting
the service or ou being removed from
their corps" No more complimentary

addresses or things. Now look out for
Canadas militiamen if they ever &c
