his victims himself to be an example unto them of
how to bear reduction of salary with Christian resg-

salary reduced by $1,000 year Moreover he did not

The secret OF his posing beautifully as a self

trick he had prepared for the occasion At that time

National Bank at Portland, and Valentine had himself
elected president of the institution at salary OF $4,000

from his official income, the astue poser obtained an
increase OF $4,000 a year.
In 1897 the affairs of the bank in Portland were

THE FINANCES OF THE UNIVERSITY.

M ORE than ordinary qualification will be felt
throughout the State over the action of the re-
gents in resembling a resolution imposing a
registration fee upon students of the State University
1t the desire of the people of the State Of California
that education for the youth OF the commonwealth
shall be free from its beginning its highest forms,
and they have shown themselves to be willing to
bear whatever burden of taxation may be required to
accomplish it.
The Call earnest in its opposition to the policy
of the regents in imposing the tax, and will now be
equally earnest in supporting any well-devised
they may adopt to meet the temporary de
icency in the funds OF the institution and carry
work without curtang the efficiency limiting the
usefulness of any department. In commonwealth
rich as this institution strongly supported
by public sentiment and by private munihcence can
hardly suffer seriously from the present embarrass-
ment. 1t would have suffered, however, had the
registration been imposed and the advantages of
the institution been to extent put beyond the
reach of the poor.
No reason exists for believing that the finances Of
the university have been in any way wasted mis-
managed; the TRADE of Governor Gage to the con-
trary Notwithstanding The university is in fact
of the few institutions OF the State whose manage
ment has been kept free from politics and has the

THE DEWEY MONUMENT.

I I1TH the patriotic impulses aroused by the cele-
\N| bration of Independence day, there will come
ardor OF public sentiment in favor of the
movement for the erection of a monument to Admiral
Dewey. The already raised is sufficient attest
the earnestness OF the people in promoting the enter
prise and virtually its success. so that it is
with confidence in the outcome each citizen may in
proportion to his means make his contribution to the
monument fund.
Since the establishment of the American Union
each successive generation has accomplished some
great work of national development and produced
hero of immortal memory. After Washington and
the Revolution came the War of 1872 and Andrew
Jackson The controversy the slave question
precipitated the Civil War and brought to the front
the heroic military figure OF General Grant Our
generation has fought the that has broken down
the last vestige OF Spanish domination in this hemi-
sphere raised the republic the prestige of world
power and furnished another hero our annals in the
person OF Admiral Dewey The fame and the deeds
Of Washington Jackson and Grant have been fv
conmemorated in monumental art, and it is now for
to give equal expression the gratitude of the
people to the hero of Manila Bay
Almost every large city in the United States now
boasts some conspicuous accomplishment in the way
Of monumental construction. We are rapidly ap-
preaching the time when cities will be as rich in
artistic achievements and historic memorials as those
of the Old World. California should keep pace with
the progress of her sister States in this respect 1t
right and fitting that the chief monument to Dewey
should stand in this city and it is appropriate that
should be erected while the glory OF his victory is
still fresh in the minds OF men,

built at Nantes in 1898, has, after repeated
trials, turned out decided failure. Her
contract speed of 26 knots was not
reached and she was rejected. The build

increase the horsepower, but at a recent
trial the boat did not even make %
knots and she is apparently dismal fail

The Russian armored gunboat Khrabry
was begun at st. Petersburg in 1895, but

1t has a belt inches thick, tapering to s
inches at the ends, and a protective deck
IL inches thick on the slope. The battery
consists of two S-inch and one 6-inch guns

The new drydock at Uchidacho, near
Yokohama, was opened on May l. 1t is

of over 800 feet to dock. The width of en-
trance is SO feet inches and at bottom
rs feet inches, and the water over the
sill at ordinary spring tide is a little over

new one and owned by the Yokohama
Dock Company was built some wears ago
and will accommodate ships of 364 feet

even the Nile and Trafalgar, are in that
category. France has the Brennus, Hoche

several more of doubtful utility In the

for at the battle off Santiago the decks

Tho French armored cruiser and COM

smaller building contained projectiles. 1t
will take some time TO know to certain

Sir Andrew Noble estimates that the erec-
ton of new shops and introduction of new
machine tools would take from three to
four months. The delivery of armaments
to ships would, however, take consider
