Waning French Politenesa.

some of which are extremely coarse and
entirely indefensible. One Pa :isian pa
per warns her majesty that her visit
will be attended by as many dangers as
the Maine encountered in Spanish wa
tiers. This looks as if the proverbial
French politeness had been utterly ex-
tinguished. But her majesty does not
read the. papers. The trip will be an
expensive one. No less than $19, 900 a
month is to be paid for the apartments
she is to occupy with her suit of 60
persons. An amusing account is given
in The Court Journal of the menage
Of pet donkeys, parrots, dogs. singing
birds and cats that is sent ahead of her.
It is also serenely stated that she never
travels anywhere without taking her
own led with her. and has never in her
life slept on any other than her OVID
private mattress. -.
The Daughters Of the American Rev.
olution are looming up everywhere
They number about 10000. and they

Everything gave way to them-even
the war department. These estimable
women have been turning over the rec
ords of many families. restoring the
most sacred traditions Of the republic,
ereshing the quaintest legends and veri~
flying half forgotten facts. They have
really undertaken to preserve what is
best and oldest in the history of the ma
ton, and they deserve great deal of
praise because they are not exploiting
themselves, but their mothers and ia
theirs. and that is so unlike the general
attitude Of the present generation.
which is thinking only Of itself, that it
excites universal respect and admira-
ton.

The Admiral Insists He Has No Political
Ambition.

The Admiral Insists He Has No Political
Ambition.
New YORK, April 10. - Admiral
Dewey has given to the Manila CORE
spondent of the Associated Press an in
terview regarding the suggestion that
the admiral be made candidate for
presidential honors. The admiral said
as to his politics:
81 am sailor, and q sailor has no
politics. The administration is his
party, and Republican or Democratic,
it makes no difference. Then, again, I
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
a Republican in Vermont is to be man
without party. My flag lieutenant
comes from Georgia. He tells me that
to be anything but Democrat in the
South is to be a nobody. If lived
South I would probably be a Demo-
crat'
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education o.
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such
possibility. His health would not ad
NIT it. All his ife's work was in diff
ferent lines of effort, and that. while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him and the
generous tributes of the American peo-
pie were dear to him. he could not and
would not be candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States under any
conditions

NOTED AS A JURIST.

Stephea j. Field of the Federal Supreme
Court, Retired, Dies at Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 10. - Justice
Stephen J. Field Of the United States
supreme court, retired, died at his home
here of kidney complications. About
his bedside were his wife and her sis
ter, Justice David J. Brewer and other
close friends. He had been unconscious
since Saturday morning and death came
painless. Ever since Justice Fields re-
tirement from the supreme court bench
on Dec. l, 1897, he had enjoyed COM
paratively good health and being re-
lieved from the responsibilities which
he had borne for so many years he be-
came more cheerful than formerly and
seemed to enjoy the society Of his
friends and acquaintance more than
ever before.
Contracted Severe Cold.
All during the winter, when the
weather was fair, it was his custom to
take daily drives about the city or
through the grounds of the Soldiers
home and always returned refreshed.
About two weeks ago, however, he took
longer ride than usual in an open car
riage and contracted a severe cold,
which rapidly developed the kidney
troubles from which he had suffered,
though but slightly, for some time. The
disease readily yielded to treatment and
on Thursday last he sat up for time
and seemed quite himself again, but on
Saturday morning change for the
worse took place and about noon he lost
consciousness. From that time until
the end he sank rapidly.

The Rebels Turned Back.
The immediate result of this act was
that the rebels turned back and pre-
pared for war, declaring that they
would not obey the admirals order and
prevent any food supplies being brought
into Samoa from Malietoa natives. The
next day Apia was surrounded by Ma
taafa's warriors. Forces from the Phil
adelphia and Porpoise under Lieuten-
ants Brown and Cave were landed to
protect the loyal natives. On Tuesday,
Mataafa having failed to obey the adj
miral's proclamation, Flag Lieutenant
Miller was sent to deliver an ultimatum.
He was not allowed to see the chief,
but delivered his message and retired.
Everything looked ugly and British and
American blue jackets were landed in
Apia to protect the consulates. Quick
firing machine and small field pieces
were also landed.

A LARGE CORN CROP,
This Years Yield Will Be One Of
the Largest in Our History.
MEATS ARE LIKELY TO Be HIGH.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson Thinks
There VIII BE Lively Demand for
the Farmers Products Outside
of the United States.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Secretary Of Agri-
culture James Wilson, who is in this
city with the presidential party said
yesterday:
This years corn crop will be one Of the largest
in our history. The total YIELD 1t is estimated.
will be between 1900 100000 and $500 900 200 OF
bushels. There will be plenty OF manufacture
ing and feeding and we will have all the corn
to sell that anybody wants to buy To what ex-
tent the crop will be shipped abroad will de-
pend largely upon the price it will bring. The
high prices offered for meats will incline the
farmers to use their crop for feeding purposes
Continuing on the prospects for good
prices Secretary Wilson said:
Where stock Is to be found the corn will be
fed unless the price be high. considerable
percentage OF the crop will be cribbed. as the
farmers generally are we'll OF and getting good
prices for their products, so they can aflord TO
hold their corn crop,
Meats are likely to be high because in the last
few years our population las grown faster than
the meat producing animals. Then, injudicious
grazing on the semi-arid regions OF the west
has been destructive, and many Of those range
states do not have over 80 per cent Of the ami
mails they had 50 years ago. A steady demand
outside Of the United States for first class
meats on the quarter and on the hoof and
growing demand, not only across the Atlantic
but In the countries In and around the PACING
for American canned meats is playing an i'm
portant part In influencing high prices The
demand Is growing In the Orient for animal
products and growing rapidly.
The British In the Transvaal war, should II
occur, will want our canned meats. They cam
not use our refrigerated meats over there and
In order to feed their soldiers as well as the
United States feeds hers they would have 70
take quarters TO Cape Of Good Hope In re-
frigeratng vessels and then establish q plant
for the caring for chilled meats similar TO the
one the United States has ct Manila They
must have canned meats and they must come u
Chicago to get them.
All this talk we have heard about embalmed
beef will not change this order Of feeding
troops. They may avoid the kinds that DO NOT
have salt in them, known as canned roast beef,
and this may result In salt being used In this
preparation, but the fact remains that armies
require canned when they cannot get chilled
beef The United States is the only country
prepared to supply II and the growing demand
for II In all quarters Of the globe will help v
keep up the price Of meats
