BY the advice OF Admiral Dewey the
cruiser Brooklyn. the gunboats Marietta
and Machias and several other war ves-
sells are being prepared for trip to the
Philippines to augment the naval forces
already there. Admiral Dewey Is said
to have strongly urged a much larger and
more important feet for tho Philippines,
contending that II was necessary to make
the blockade Of the islands more effective.
He favors an aggressive land campaign,
and believes that this, with a vigorous
blockade, to cut off the supplies that have
been regularly smuggled to the Filipinos.
will shortly reduce them to submission,
as the only alternative of starvation. In
addition to the vessels now being made
ready for the journey, the cruisers New
Orleans and Albany, the Monocacy and
the gunboat Nashville may be sent.
Acting Secretary Allen telegraphed or
ders to the cruiser Nashville, at San
Domingo, Thursday, to proceed to San
Juan. T.. r., and coal with all dispatch.
and then proceed to Gibraltar on her way
to join Admiral Watson at Manila. At
the same time orders were sent to the
Brooklyn and the New Orleans to pre-
pare to leave as soon as possible for the
Philippines, via the Suez canal. Orders
were also sent to San Francisco to pre-
pare the Badger to cross the Pacific as
soon as practicable. Acting Secretary
Allen also telegraphed to Boston to pre-
pare the Bancroft for sea Immediately.
The Machias and Marietta will also be
ordered to start for Manila in the course
of week or two, and probably the Ann
apolis.
The orders, 1t is officially explained. are
due to Admiral Dewey's advice that ev-
cry vessel Of the navy that can be spared
from other duty be added to Watson s
feet, with the view of crushing out the
rebellion as rapidly as possible. He thinks
this can be quickly accomplished with
tie increased army force soon to be as
sembled in the Philippines. If there Is 'suf-
ficient naval force to secure rigid Book

at the home of James Cook, nine miles

evening. Rankin was a jealous lover Of

The Bride and groom sat side by side
at the head of the wedding supper table.
There was an uncurtained window be-
hind them. Suddenly there was a min
gled din of screams, gunshot reports and
crashing glass. The bride and groom sat
dead in their chairs. The onlookers. held

derer, dead. He had barred his foot that
he might get better hold of the trigger
with his toe and had then blown his head
off. He left q note explaining that he
could not live without the girl, and as to
kill her husband would be to make her
miserable, he had decided to end the lives
of both and then kill himself.

To run the city of Boston during the
past fiscal year cost $40,203.67S Of which
$34,OI1,14S was for regular department
expenses. The public library cost 1924,
1868. the parks S551 ,S7S, the schools 49,
3O2, ,4SI and the water S3,302. .4S1. The
total expenditure for parks since the
present system was adopted is SIS, 196,-
800, Of which $G,540,13 was for land
and $S,6J61S2 for construction. Some
idea can be gained Of what Boston spent
in order to obtain it's present improve
ments from the fact that among its bonds
still outstanding is $5,010,500 expended
for sewerage system. $5.422.0 OPS for
school houses and sites, S6,120, 100 for
public buildings, S3.637 900 for sewers,
and over S16O00.000 for widening. ex-
tending and grading streets and laying
out and constructing highways and ave-

The distinguished statistcian, M. G..
Mulhall, who for many years has found
favorite study in the development of the
resources of our great republic, contrib
utes to the October number OF the North
American Review striking article, en-
titled Five Years of American Pro-
gress." His statements and figures con-
stitute n marvellous exhibit of national
strength and prosperity. Mr. Mulhall
ventures n prediction as to the population
of the United States at the next census,
THE decline of immigration may be
traced directly to the vexatious regula-
tions against what are termed European
paupers,' but it is not SO easy to account
for the diminished rate of natural IN
crease. We must suppose either higher
death rate or lower birth rate, and the
former is the more probable, in view of
the exceedingly rapid growth of urban
population, while there is no reason TO
suppose declining birth rate. In fact.
to judge by European countries, the birth
rate Of towns is usually higher than that
Of rural districts. 1t may be well here to
observe that, according to the growth of
population in the last FIVE years the cen
sus of 1900 ought to show 1890, 900 in
habitants."

ADMIRAL DEwEY's TWO BROTHERS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BUSINESS SITUATION.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cocc
Chicago Correspondence:

There have been few changes, and none
of any Importance, in general business
conditions. The money markets continue
unsettled. The hardening of the mar
kets has begun to attract gold from
Europe, engagements aggregating about
81, ,000, 900 being reported by various New
York importing houses in the last few
days.
In broad way the industrial situa-
tion shows a constantly growing trade.
Commodity prices hold strong. and there
Is no decrease in the demand for all
kinds of staple goods. clearinghouse
exchanges are phenomenally large, and
railroad earnings continue to show good
gains over the corresponding period Of
last year.
Grain and provision brokers generally
reported an increase in speculative busi-
ness during the week. Prices were firm,
with an upward tendency, that having
probably much to do with the increase
activity. There were several causes ut
work that stiffened values OF the cereals
for future delivery. In the case of wheat
the trade was beginning to experience in
a tangible way that there had been n
sad failure in the winter wheat crop
Up to recent period the impression
largely prevailed that the loss of 125.-
100000 bushels or more, compared with
the previous years crop, was a matter
Of quite minor Importance, because of
reserves left over from the previous sea-
sons abundance; but the latter being
now practically exhausted, it has been
found that the farmers, as a rule, are
disposed to part with the present sea-
sons lean crop in quite homeopathic
doses at present prices. Foreign demand
is excellent, and instead spf diminishing
as the season advanced as has been fore
told. has actually been increasing. The
exports of wheat and rnour from all
American ports since July 4 exceed those
for the like period of the previous year
by 4,000.0O0 bushels.
The corn crop has reached maturity
and escaped injury from frost. Its bulk
Is very large, although considerably less
than at one time seemed possible. Owing
to- the bad effect upon pastures by the
seasons drought both here and abroad
the demand for corn for home use and
expectation promises to maintain prices
at point that will prove highly remun-
erative to the growers.
