Senator CUshman K. Davis, of Min

his way, delivered an address at the
Chicago Union League club banquet

reported to have said:

utterance TO these remarks on the oc-
casion of the anniversary celebration, of
the birth of George Washington,
How meaningless what he said an
pears in the light of history. George
Washington was the leader of re-
bellion against a crazy king. under
whose weak rule all sorts of impositions
had fallen upon the American colonists
and against which they arose in resis-
lance. The revolutionary war contin-
ued eight years-at times it was almost
hopeless struggle, and Washington's
soul, meanwhile, was frequently the
only receptacle in which the fires of
revolution continued unobscured by the
eshes OF despair. During the twelve
years Immediately succeeding the war.

Affairs Are Getting Mixed.

The news from the Philippines cannot
be regarded as pleasant reading mat
ter. Admiral Dewey's request, by cable,
that the battleship Oregon Shall be
sent to his feet and for political rea-
sons,' Is calculated TO have a disturb
ing effect This splendid officer of the
United States navy is not likely to
make a call of this kind in the absenca
OF sufficient reason therefor. Thus far.
since his triumphant action in Manila
bay, on May l of last year, he has
been thoroughly self-reliant, cool head
ed and calm. So far as the govern
ment at Washington extends its conf
dence to the public, he assigns no other
reason for the call than that mention
ed in the published dispatch
1t is evident, however, that for some
reason Admiral Dewey believes that
demonstration of naval force is neces-
sary in connection with his command.
1t is apparent, too, that serious con-
dition of things exists at this remote
seat of war, but whether complications
with ether powers than the native in
surgeBts may be regarded as future
possibilities, viewed from the ad-
lniral's standpoint, must-remain a sub
ject for speculation, in the absence of
further adViceS.

began some weeks ago. with an appar-
ent insignificant pin scratch, on his
nose. The scratch did not heal. Local
applications Of court plaster and sim
pie remedies applied by Capt Ehrmann-

wound. There was no pain, but Capt
Ehrmanntraut finally consulted a ply
sician. Finally specialist was con-
suited and at once directed Capt. Ehr-
manntraut's removal to the hospital
The nature of the disease, as it spread
general through the system, was to
cause the skin to peel from the body
and this refused to heal. Despite every
medical assistance Capt Ehrmann-
traut's condition became more serious,
until the end came yesterday afternoon
at $3.50.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say: Iron and steel and cotton goods

fect OF the numerous and heavy advances an
nounced during the week upon the export de-

iron are following up their demands, not
