HE WOULD NOT DECLINE.
Admiral Dewey Announces His WILL
fngness to Accept Nomination for
President.

New York, April A special 10
the World from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey authorizes the an
nouncement TO the American people
that his former decision not under
any circumstances to run for the pres
idency is rescinded.
A World correspondent saw THE adj
miral at his home last evening. Ad-
miral Dewey said:
when | arrived in this country last
September | said then THAT nothing
would induce me to be a candidate for
the presidency.
Since then, however, / have reached
a different conclusion, inasmuch as so
many assurances have come to me
from my countrymen that | would be
acceptable as a candidate for this
great Office. If the American people
want me for this high office | shall
be only too willing to serve them.
''Tt is the highest honor in the gift
of this nation; what citizen would re-
fuse it?"
Philadelphia, April 6.-The second
and last orchestral concert in aid of
the families of the soldiers and sail
ors who were killed in the Philippine
islands was given at the Academy of
Music last evening. The overshadow-
ing feature of the occasion was the
presence of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey,
who came from Washington for the
purpose of lending their aid to she
concert by their attendance. The
concert was a success, the large audi
torium being entirely filled. The au-
dience was made up almost entirely
of women.
From the academy the admiral and
his wife were driven to the hotel and
there the admiral received nearly a
dozen newspaper men. He said he
was glad to receive the reporters, but
added that he had not hing to say. At
this moment Mrs. Dewey joined her
hsuband and. after introducing her
he said: Mrs. Dewey will talk" to
which she replied, with a smile, that
the admiral has a mind of his own;
he thinks for himself"
"Are you correctly reported to be a
democrat?" the admiral was asked,
and after a moments hesitation he
replied:
'Yes, | think | can answer that.
Yes, | am a democrat"
'If the republicans nominate Nc
Kinley and the democrats nominate
Bryan for the presidency, would YOU
run Independently"

lowed later, as Martha's heart opened
up to the beautiful Easter service, as

Mr.. Dewey, too, saw something in life
which he had never seen before, hope
beyond the sordidness of everyday
care, which lifts the spirit on invisible
wings into the realm of the unseen.

A TRAIN BURNED.
Two Wen Killed and Several Injured
in Il Railroad Wreck in Texas.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 6.-One OF
the most serious wrecks in the his
tory of the Fort Worth & Denver
railroad occurred Thursday at a
point just south of Magenta, 376 miles
north of this city. AS a result two
men are dead and several others in
jured.
At the time OF the accident the
train was running at full speed when
it struck Il defect in the track, caused
by a partial washout. The entire
train was ditched, the cars being piled
in a heap. Fire then started in the
debris, consuming the entire mass of
wrecked cars. Many passengers who
managed to eXtricate themselves were
badly burned. Mail Clerk John f..
Dane, of Denver, was buried beneath
the mass of wreckage and burned to
death. John j. Kuntz, a passenger,
also lost his life. Agent McGinnis,
of the Wells-Fargo Express Co., is
unable to say what the loss of money
and valuables will be. The loss to the
railroad will be heavy, as the entire
train was burned.

ARE RIPE FOR REVOLT.
Chinese are Only Waiting for Their

Slyl1 N Re
Vancouver, B. c., April Ga belief
that a general rebellion in China will

peror's death existed when the steam
er Empress of Japan left Oriental
waters. 1t is said that Emperor
kwang Su looks very i'll and it is not
thought he can live long.
In LANG Kang province 100000
Huanese are armed and ripe for re-
bellion and are only held in check by
former Niceroy Lu, who is himself a

1t is reported that at a council
meeting the dowager empress asked
Jung In if the guards under him
were loyal. He replied that if re-
beIlion arose on account of the en-
peror's death or deposition, neither
he nor his corps of commanders could
prevent nine-tenths of the army join
ing the rebels. To this reply, how
ever, Princes Ching and Tuan, the
latter the father of Pu Chun, the heir
apparent, answered that they and
their Manchus of the Pekin field force
could cope with any rebels in or out
of China, and the empress dowager
seemed willing to rely on this boast.

AN ARMY OF MENDICANTS.
Sick and Starving Porto Rfcans In
wade the CiIIes Of the Island.

Ponce, Porto Rico, April 6.-An an
nouncement having been made that
| the Porto Rican Benevolent society
| would relieve the poor of Ponce, the
town is simply overwhelmed with an
army of starving or pauperized folk.
| No fewer than 200 men, women and
children, sick and starving, are living
in the corridor of the city hall and in
| a kiosk on the plaza. Most of these
are fed by the society. Letters have
been received announcing that 5000
| more are on the way.
The city will deport outside pau
pers who are now here and the sta
tion guard will prevent the entrance
into the city of others. The price of
provisions continues very high and
discomfort grows, but thus far there
has been no public demonstration.
1t is reported that an executioner
has been found to carry out the sem
| tence passed by the Porto Rican SUI
preme court upon five murderers con-
demned to be garroted, and the gar
roting will take place Saturday.
San Juan, Porto Rico, April g.
Delegations representing the country
poor arrive at the palace almost
daily. They tell the usual story of
starvation and want, and ask for
food and work. Two important del
egations have put in appearance this
week, the latest being from Aguas
Buenos, consisting of 100 men and so
women in procession, headed by two
10-year-old girls carrying black flags,
to signify that they were mourning
for existing conditions. Although
the situation is certainly very bad, it
is the opinion of some that in some
instances the applicants for relief are
really directed by political bosses who
hope to secure road work For in
stance, 5000 rations have been issued
weekly at Aguas Buenos for the last
three months.
Further material relief will follow
from the recent granting of road
making contracts involving an outlay
of 5000, 900, although the authorities
have not yet announced how they
propose to distribute the appropria
ton.
The pier strikers are quiet and no
further demonstrations have been
made. The property, however, is
still guarded by the troops. All the
native laborers from St. Thomas have
been dismissed and American labor
erS will be employed.

Five Companies of English SOL

Gen. ViIIebOis Is kiIIed-NO Prisons

Must Leave Pretoria.

London. April THE war Office
yesterday afternoon posted dispatch
from Lord Roberts announcing Lord
Methuen's capture of "a Beers and tho
killing of Gen. Nillebois Mareuil, the
chief of staff of the Boer army. This
news had been started a few minutes
when Il second telegram was bulletin
ed, reporting the loss of five compan-
les of British infantry. The lost COM
panies are part of the force guarding
the railroad at Reddersburg, 80 miles
south of Bloemfontein. In the death
of Gen. Nilebois Mareuil the Beers
lost their best instructed soldier in
continental methods OF warfare.
The British public is beginning o
realize the immense difficulties to be
overcome before Pretoria is reached
and is revising premature ideas with
respect to the time when the war will
be over. No one now believes that it
will have ended by the beginning of
June. The latest disaster more par
ticularly illustrates the heavy task in
volved in holding the railway. 1t can
not be concealed that the utmost
alarm is beginning to be felt.
1t is said that the Beers who cap
tured the British at Reddersburg be-
longed to Olivier's commando. If so
he has not retired north, and hopes
are expressed that he may still be cut
Off
1t is asserted that 1000 rebels sur
rendered during Gen. Clements north
ward march. The Beers will do their
utmost to hold Lady brand and Thaba
N'Chu, both being rich grain produce
ing districts.
The reports that Mr.. Steyn had
been appointed to the command of
The Free Staters and that the Free
State has arranged loan from the
Transvaal for war purposes are both
confirmed.
Another Boer version of the fight
ing with Col. Plumer's force says that
four officers and 80 men were taken
prisoners at Ramathlabama.
As numerous prisoners are now held
on both sides and the numbers are
about equal, the question of exchange
ing was mooted in the house of COM
mons last evening. This elected Il
reply that the government had no in
tention of proposing an exchange.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Daily Mail, telegraphing Thursday,
says: Col. Plumer's column is re-
turning north"
Lorenzo Marquee, April ..-Accord-
ing to a dispatch from Pretoria all
British subjects have been ordered to
quit Pretoria and Johannesburg inn
mediately, except some 400 who are
permitted under recent law, to re-
main in the Rand. Those who are eX-
PEELED number about 600.
The prisoners and guns taken at
Sannas Post have arrived at Pretoria.

eagerly. There was always so much
to do at the farm on Sabbath morning,
when they were apt to sleep late, that
they had almost given up church going
entirely. 1t was another link out of
the chain which bound her girlhood
days to her present.
"Yes, do come" urged Mrs. Bonney,
seeing the look on Mrs. Dewey's face.
The decorations will be lovely, and the
music especially fine"
Mr.. Dewey cast a doubtful look at his
wife's best dress, doubly shabby in con-
trast with Mrs. Bonney's handsome
teagown, and he thought of his own
best suit, which had long seen its palm
lest days, as he said: well, I'll see;
mebbe, if the weather is good"
He walked along in silence beside his
wife as they went out of the hospitable
home. That check in his pocket seemed
burning to get out and spend itself on
the things which Martha not only
wanted, but needed to keep her life
fresh and young, her spirit sweet and
hopeful. He had intended to add it to
his already satisfactory bank account,
hut as he looked down at his wife's face
his mind changed.
They were passing a large dry goods
store where everything, from carpet
10 a paper of pins, was sold. Lets go
in, Martha" he said, awkwardly. You
said you wanted to look at some car
petin', and say, whilst you are about it,
/ guess you'd better pick out new
dress and some Easter fiXins. That
bunnit you've got on looks sort q
ragged"
"Oh, Lon" the little woman came
near transfiXing the entire street by
throwing her arms around his neck
then and there, but he opened the door
hastily.
Get all you want, Martha, and I'll
foot the bill" he said. I'm going
down to the tailor shop, for if we go
to that Easter meeting we want to look
a leetle mite as other folks do"
Martha's heart sang for JOY all the
way home. for wasn't there a roll of
the loveliest carpet she had ever
dreamed of possessing under the seat,
and in her lap bonnet and dress pat
tern which she would not trust out of
her own hands?
Little things enough to make heart

Tied HJD by n Strike.

Chicago, April "A strike of 100
power house employees of the Chicago
City Railway Co. tied up 10 miles of
electric lines last night for two hours
at the busiest time and crippled the
whole service for the balance of the
night. TO further complicate the sit
uation Il steam pipe at the power
plant broke, rendering useless for an
hour that branch of the cable system
south of Thirty-ninth street. The
men who went out objected to u
change from an eight to a 12-hour
day. The change also threw one
third of the men out of employment,
as two shifts under the new condi-
tions could do the work of three.
