MRS LOGAN TOLD THE PRESl-
DENT.

Dispatch to Commercial Tribune.
Columbus, O., April 8.-GOssips and
paragraphers have had such a merry
time Of it this week making Mrs. Dew
ey the source and inspiration of the
Admiral's Presidential ambition that
it may add seasoning to the consomme
of Dewey talk to record that it was an.
other Washington society woman, who
first told about Dewey's wanting
to run for President. And instead of
insisting upon woman's prerogative
of having the last say, this woman had
the first say, and was laughed at for
her pains.
She was Mrs. John A. Logan. II
was soon after Mrs. Logan's son, the
Major, afterwards shot in battle, land.
ed at Manila.
One morning, very early for q call,
Mrs. Logan hurried over to the White
House and told the President she had
just received an;important letter from
the Major. He had written that there
was a plan-Major Logan had called II
q conspiracy-inimlcal to the admins
tration. Dewey was to marry John r.
McLean's sister and was to be brought
out as the Democratic candidate fol
President. Mr.. Logan was sure there
was something in the story, chiefly
perhaps, because her idolized son be
lieved it; also, perhaps, because long
resident at Washington had taught hel
statecraft.
| The President disbelieved the stor,
utterly, but in face of Mrs. Logan's pos
itiveness, disguised his doubts. Tt
members of the Cabinet and his Off
cial family, whom he regaled with thi
Manila tale, he expressed his in
credulity, which they shared.
But Mrs. Logan probably hasn't for
gotten her fruitless morning call at th'
White House.

DISPATCHES from the seat of war in
South Africa are meager, but indicate
that while Roberts and Butler are NOV
ing north with great army, upon the
Transvaal, small forces of Beers are
active, threatening and trying to cut
off Roberts communications with Cape
Colony, thus jeopardizing his supplies.
The dispatches about the Beers threat
ening to recapture Bloemfontein are
evidently bluff. Roberts has shown
himself an excellent general and STRAIT
egist, and he has doubtless made
Bloemfontein secondary base of sup
plies, and his delay there has been to
bring to this point large store of sup
plies, so that his movements north would
not be embarr assed if his communica-
tions should be temporarily cut off with
Cape Colony, south of Bloemfontein.
We expect soon to hear important news
from Roberts at or near the Vaal river.
