the effect that immediate action was to be
urged in regard to having Dewey made a
full admiral. In view of the developments
of the last few days at Manila, the timeli-
ness of Mrs Lees communication is only
too apparent. The reasons for raising
Dewey's rank were succnctly given in home
letters from Mrs. Lee to her family in
Washington, and were to the effect that
Admiral Dewey was subjected to untold
annoyance from having to make first calls
upon naval vessels entering the harbor, to
take second place at table on state occa-
sions, and to move his vessels about the
harbor at the command of the foreign Of
hcers who outranked him. This was par
ticularly obnoxious in the case of the Ger

them during the war.

STEAMSHIP WRECKED.
The William Lawrence Drifted Ashore
Near the Port Royal Bar.

Savannah, February 13-The steamship
William Lawrence, of the Merchants and
Miners line, between Baltimore and Sa-
vannah, is a wreck and probably total
loss off Port Royal, S. C. She left Balti-
more Wednesday last, with full cargo. but
no passengers. Saturday she ran into a
severe storm off the South Carolina coast.
She became disabled and in a helpless condi-
ton drifted ashore near the Port Royal
bar. The crew abandoned the ship in four
boats.
One boat containing A. j. Morrisell, Sec
ond assistant engineer, and John Can
away, John Donahue, William Seifort,
Charles Greene and Frank Bolden, seamea,
made Port Royal. Three other boats, con-
tanning Captain Willis, the first and second
officers and the engineers and members of
the crew have not been heard from. The
Engineer Morrisell reported today to j. j.
Carolain, the company's agent here, giving
the facts of the wreck.
He has doubts of the survival of the
three missing boats, as the weather was
very severe. The names of the missing
men cannot be ascertained here. Morri-
sell and his compan ons suffered terrible
hardships from the cold in the open boat
and were nearly exhausted when they made
land. Agent Carolain expresses hope that
the missing boats made land. as the ship
was near shore when abandoned and that
the men have not reported owing to the
interruption to telegraph.

PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING

From the Boston Waterman.
Sweet friend, when thou and 1 art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender ruth shall we have gained,
Alas! by simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and /
Ere Love Is fast forglving.
Should take the eternal lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Today's repressed rebulIe may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen while kecnest edge
May whet nameless sorrow.

Deaths silence shames our clamor
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour:
But wise 1t were for thee and me.

The Admiral Declines to be Regarded as
Presidential Possibility.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
New York, February 10.-A Washington
dispatch to the Herald says: Rear Admiral
Dewey will not accept a nomination for the
presidency. This has been the opinion of
those nearest to him for some time and
they have not hesitated to say, from their
knowledge of the man, that nothing was
more improbable than that he would allow
himself to be drawn into the field of poll
tics.
Confirmation of this view of the most
positive kind has lately come to my knowl-
edge. A friend of Judge Brawley, of South
Carolina, who is an intimate friend of
Admiral Dewey tells me that on his recent
visit to this city the judge showed him
letter. lately received from the admiral, in
which he said he would under no circum-
stances be a candidate for the presidency:
that his training had been on other lines,
and that his temperament was such he
could not endure the strain and that much

Office, he begged his friends not to consider

ing the city and asked If he would have

do so; that while he did not consider 1t of

friends, he was unwilling to make 1t public

Even Counties Are Checker-Boarded.

The emasculated dispensary bill is enough
to make a horse laugh. Not content with
checker-boarding the state, the legislative
t;nl,ers have checker-boarded some of the
counties also, applying it in one case
at least, to a single beat which does not
contain a cons derable town. Such patch
work is not general legislation, or wise leg
islation, or helpful legislation.
1t is plain that representatives who were
not elected on the issue presented by the
dispensary bill are not men fitted to deal
with the wide and deep question of liquor
regulation. In nearly every instance the

Another election would determine whether
the state should have a dispensary law
