DEWEY Is WILLING.

New YORK, April 5.-The World
correspondent at Washington sends
the following to that paper:
"Admiral Dewey was asked last night
if, in view of the many conflicting re-
ports relating to his attitude toward a
nomination for the presidency, he
would make statement. He said: Il
realize that the time has arrived when
/ must definitely define my position.
When arrived in this country last Sep
TENDER / said then that nothing would
induce me to be candidate for the
presidency. Since then, however, l
have had the leisure and inclination to
study the matter and have reached q
different conclusion inasmuch as 80
many assurances have come to me from
my countrymen that l would be &C.
ceptable as candidate for the great
office. If the American people want
me for this high office, / shall be only
too willing to serve them.'"
WASHINGTON, April 4. - Through
one of his secretaries, Admiral Dewey
this morning declared that the interview
in a New York morning paper, express.
ing his Willingness to accept the nom.
ination for the presidency, should the
American people desire it, is correct
Lieutenant Caldwell, who gave the in.
formation, said the Admiral was very
busy and could not, at this time, talk
further on the subject.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Dewey, just
before noon, personally stated that the
interview printed in the New Yorl
paper is authentic. He declined tC
state whether he is a Republican or {
Democrat. He said he stood particu.
larly on the sentence. eff the American
people want me for the high office,
am and shall be only too willing tt
serve them"
New YORK, April 4.-Dewey's an
nouncement has startled The politician
eff both parties. 1t is admitted on al
sides that the injection of his name a
presidential possibility upsets all tn,
states. "What side is he on?" Ant

questions asked on all sides. The ad
miral will clear up that point when h.
announces positively his politics. Their

OMAHA, Neb., April 4.-City and
village elections were held throughout
Nebraska on Tuesday, with the excep-
ton of Omaha. The main issue in
most of the smaller places was license
and the results are mixed, the greater
number of towns apparently being fav-
orable to licensing the traffic for an
other year. While party politics cut
little figure in the smaller towns yet
Republican gains are noticed all over
the State, especially in the cities, sew
eral Democratic strongholds going Re-
publican. In Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan's
home city, the Republicans elected
their entire city ticket by an enormous
majority. Members of the school board
and five of the seven alderman, give a
Republican gain of one alderman. The
new city council will stand: Eleven Re-
publicans; 3 fusionists.

the idea of being can i-
date for the presidency"
Senator Proctor says: "The state
ment in regard to the presidency pur-
porting to come from Admiral Dewey
is as much a surprise to me as it can be
to any one. The subject Of politics
has not been referred to between us in
the slightest manner, directly or indi-
rectly, since his statement soon after
his return last fall The substance of
that was, as / recall it, that he did not
propose to be candidate for the pres
idency or engage in politics in any
way"
PORTLAND, Ore, April 6.-Bryan,
asked for his views on the Dewey an
nouncement, said 81 do not care to
be interviewed on the subject"
NEW YORK, April 6.-With the con-
firmation of the statement that Dewey
had entered the presidential field, the
Herald telegraphed to each member of
the Democratic national committee, in
curing as to the sentiment in each
State, and the probable attitude of the
respective delegations to the Kansas
City convention, with this result:
For Bryan Alabama, California, In
diana, Iowa, Indian Territory, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, New jersey,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dako-
ia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
ginia, Washington and West Virginia,
all of which declare for Bryan.

CHICAGO, H., April 6.-The prep
arations for the reception to Admiral
Dewey on May have been stopped.
Chicago has decided that while it
would welcome George Dewey, Ad-
mlral, it prefers not to receive George
Dewey, Admiral and presidential can
didate.
The reception committee, after long
conference with Mayor Harrison, inn
mediately dropped all work. Work
men left arches in course of const.uc-
ton, orders to decorators were coun-
fernandez, and negotiations with
carpenters, florists and printers were
at once broken. Handsomely engraved
invitations were already in the hands
of the committee, but they will never
be issued.
IL was determined by members of
the committee that thew did not want
to be factor in the presidential boom,
and would not be at any hazard.
Chicago had determined to Guido
itself at the Dewey reception. Now
the committee is deluged with mes
sages from subscribers, saying they
withdraw their subscriptions. An
agent will be sent to Washington to
intimate to Dewey that a celebration
and political campaign are inconsist-
ent. He will make this sentiment 30
plain that he will be able to bring back
a letter with him to the committee ex-
pressing his regret "that his duties at
present will make it impossible for him
to attend"

allowed to play with the arizona teams
and all New Mexico teams be made up
OF citizens of this territory.
Second-That each city be allowed
but one team as their representative.
as heretofore there have been a num-

have knocked the interest and atten-
