worked on nearly all the Chicago
dailies before the reflections of Dooley
brought him fame and fortune. He
did every kind of newspaper work from
police reporting to politics and from
sporting write-ups TO the manifold
duties of an editor-in-chief. He was
always a good story writer and an ex-
cellent story teller, and during the time
when he did baseball his accounts of
the league games sparkled with humor.
The original Dooley, so Dunno has
explained to the world, is a saloon
keeper in Chicago named McGarry,
whose place used to be much frequent
ed by newspaper men. When Jay
Gould died McGarry delivered a dis
course so rich in Celtic philosophy that
Dunno caricatured it and published it
in the Post, McGarry was so ipcensed
at the publication that Dune had to
change the name of his humorous
oracle to Dooley in his subsequent
writings, but McGarry's unconscious
humor has been his inspiration all
through the many tales he has told OF
DOoley in peace and war.

AGAINST BUYING HOLLAND.
Board of Naval Construction Opposes
Purchase

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Secretary
Long today received from the Board on
Naval Construction two reports on the
Holland submarine boat. The Holland
Company had offered to sell the HoI-
land to the Government for $3.50, 900;
to embOdy certain improvements in
her and sell her for $4,000, or, final
ly, to build two new and larger boats
for $4,000 each. Four of the mem
bers of the board united in a majority
report favOring the rejection Of the
propositions, based on the fact that the
company is now a delinquent in the
case of the submarine boat Plunger
on account of which the Government
has already paid $99,716, with no like
lihOOd Of her completion in the near
future. If the company makes salts
factory settlement for the Plunger
then the board will be willing to build
one of the larger boats, but not to pur-
chase the Holland.
The chief constructor submits a mi
nority report, declaring that the ma,
jOrity did not give sufficient credit and
encouragement to the enterprise of the
company. He declares that the results
obtained with the Holland were salts,
factory, and, yet, in view of the small
cost of submarine boats, the Govern
ment should accept the Holland anC
order two larger boats.

NEGRO TROOPS ASHORE.
The American Regiment Lands and
Parades in Japan.


YOKOHAMA, Jan. 13.-The event of
this week has been the unexpected ar
rival of the United States transport
Grant with the Forty-eighth Regiment,
United States Volunteers (colored), on
board. 1t seems that, in consequence
of the breaking out of the plague in
Honolulu, where she expected to coal,
not only was it impossible for the
Grant to coal there, but she could hold
no communication with the shore. She
has, therefore, been obliged to put in
here for coal and will leave for Manila
tomorrow. The novel sight of the
lstreets swarming with dusky-hued war
riors is attracting much attention, and
their soldierly bearing is much COM
mented upon.
Permission having been kindly
granted by the authorities, dress pa
rade of the regiment will be held this
afternoon and a great crowd is ex-
pected to witness the unusual spec
tacle of an armed body of American
soldiery landing upon the shores Of
Japan. Two years ago this would have
| been reckoned an impossibility, and,
as illustrating the changed position OF
America and the Orient, the fact at
tracts much comment on the part OF
the foreigners here as well as the Jap
/ aneSe.

COAXING RAIN.
Interesting Experiments With Sui
phuric Acid and Zinc.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27.-Some of the
section of the country between this
city and the Mexican line have become
fearful that there is not going to be a
sufficient amount of rain to save their
crops and they are now endeavoring to
coax the moisture out of the clouds.
The last rain which visited this coun-
ty, although assuming the proportions
of a cloudburst in some parts of the
back county, treated the Otay section
very shabbily. The precipitation was
not even half an inch there, while in
the Escondido section more than five
inches fell.
AS the days and weeks went by and
no more rain came, the crops all the
while getting drier and drier, the resi-
dents despaiTed of having anything to
show at the end of the season for their
labor and toll, and thought that the
third successive dry year was upon
them. The crops planted in the red
soil are still in excellent condition, but
those in the dark soil are suffering
considerably and unless given encour'
agement soon they will be beyond al
hope.
With this condition staring the
ranchers in the face one of their mum
Der suggested that experiments b.
carried on to produce the much covet
ed rain. The proposition was received
| favorably, the ranchers realizing tina
no harm could result therefrom ant
that perhaps it would be the means o
| their salvation. The method used b.
the Rock Island road in Kansas, whfcl
produced rain $50 times out of 200 ex
periments, was decided upon.
The money was raised by subscrip
tion for purchasing the necessary ma
terial. The experiment was commenC
ed yesterday afternoon and it is 20 b

showers sought for arrive with les

Two hundred pounds of sulphur
acid were purchased and 100 pound
of zinc. The chemical action Of tn
acid on the zinc liberates immens
quantities of hydrogen. Being muc
lighter than air, it ascends quickly t
the clouds and by producing commc

THE BONES OF BUDDHA


Topeka (Kas.), Jan. 25.-The i'm
mediate and extraordinary response of
the public to the announcement Mon
day morning of the Sheldon christian
edition of the Topeka Capital is indi-
Gated by the fact that Mr.. Sheldon and
the Daily Capital have been deluged
with kilograms and letters from all
parts of the country asking for in
formation regarding the proposed plans
for a Christian daily newspaper.
Among the dispatches received yester-
day was one from New York contain
ing an order for 10000 of each issue
during the week. Another Oh der by
telegraph asked or 5000 lines of adver-
Using space. The first subscription or
der, which came within twelve hours
of the announcement of the plan in the
press, was from Nebraska, for 100
copies of each issue. Sheldon said to-
day that while he would receive no
compensation for his services, it had
been stipulated in the original under
standing with the Capital Publishing
Company that should the receipts ex-
coed the expenses of his edition a large
part of the proceeds would be devoted
to missionary and philanthropic work

GUY DEMENT'S CASE.
The Telegraphlc Account Was Mis-
leading and Cruel.


The last mail but one from the
Coast brought an account of the career
and attempted suicide of Guy bennett,
a young man of the highest Honolulu
connections, which later advices show
to have been in large degree libellous
In fact, the telegraphed story was alb
solutely false, with the exception of
the attempt on Mr.. Dement'S life and
that he called an officer. The manner
of the attempt was grossly exaggerated.
The reason for it was an unfortunate
love affair. Mr.. bennett made the at
tempt in a fit of pain and desperation
Immediately following the refusal of a
young lady. He said afterward that he
did not know what he was doing. In
view of the false and cruel newspaper
article, his friends thought best to pub
| lish the facts, in justice to the young
man. Friends are now caring for him
in a hospital in Denver.

THE REAL MIR. DoOLEY.
Americas Greatest Humorist Arrives
In San Francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Finley
Peter Dunno of the Chicago Journal,
who is responsible for the humorous
existence of "Dooley," arrived in town
yesterday and is a guest at the Palace.
He has come west on a pleasure trip
and travelling with him is J. P. Grier,
a member of the Chicago Board of
Trade. The creator of "DoOley' is on
an extended vacation trip. He is not
looking for new material with which
to expand the humorous reputation of
DoOley, he says, for, if he may be be-
lIeved, he has no wish to enter DooIey's
unpublished rusticity in competition
with the writings of Western humor-
lists, of whom he has a good opinion.
He is simply seeking rest and recupera-
ton from his journalistic labOrs. he
declares, and is travelling wherever his
inclination dictates. He has been in
the Rocky mountains for a short period
and expects to spend some days on the
| Coast. He did not know yesterday
| whether he would be in San Francisco
/ two days or fortnight. He will move
on when he wants a change of scenery.
Dunno has been person of no little
! interest to Chicago newspaperdom for
a number of years, although he is still
a comparatively young man. AT pres
| ent he is the object of solicitous in
terest on the part of editors and pub
| fishers throughout the East. Dunno

suffrage than this, so as to include the
so. diers OF Maceo's army, would leave
the majority with those determined to
remain independent at any cost. So
the ultimate destiny of the island ap-

Influenced by the determination of the
meaning of the term, THE United
States in the constitutional discus
sion now going on. If it should be
found inevitable that Cuba was to have
absolute free trade with this country,
if annexed, a very considerable array
of forces against annexation would
promptly appear on the scene. The
separate tariff system will make the
beet sugar and tobacco interests less
fearful, although it will not wholly
quiet their opposition.
