GOVERNMENT NOTES ABOUND.
But Anticipated InsufFiciency Of th'
New Bank Notes.


New Bank Notes.
NEW YORK, June ia special to
the Journal Of Commerce from Wash
ingtOn says:
The treasury is facing the crop mov-
ing season very well equipped with
government notes, but under some pres
sure in regard to supplying the large
volume Of new bank notes which have
been applied for under .he gold stand
ard law. The probability Of a heavy
demand for notes was anticipated early
in the winter. Precautions were taken
to print large stock Of silver certif-
Gates Of the denomination Of 81 and 81,
and United States notes Of larger de-
nominations.
Treasury notes issued under the Sher-
man law are no longer being printed,
in accordance with .he mandate of the
gold standard law for their gradual re-
tirement. As a result Of the precau-
tions taken early in the winter, 1t has
been possible to reduce the printing Of
government notes som awhat and to put
the force Of the bureau Of engraving
and printing more largely on the new
bank notes.
1t is proposed after this week to begin
work upon the new silver certificates
for s., for which The design has just
been completed. 1t has been the ex-
perience that after notes have been is
sued Of a new design, even when fresh,
there is an unwillingness to accept
those Of an old design. For this reason
few certificates for IS have been issued
recently from the old plates, and prep
arations have been made to issue from
the new plates as soon as they are
ready.
The treasury viii be amply supplied
with notes for exchange, but may be
somewhat handicapped in issuing any
different class or note from that offered
for exchange, because Of the scant
margin Of authorized issues. The
United States notes on hand, June II,
were s21, ,702 and silver certificates.

MKINLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
vica-Presidential Nomination Still a
Matter of Conjecture.

NEW YORK, June Eff we knew
who is 70 be the republican candidate
for vice-prasident there would be little
use in holding the convention, for the
denomination Of President Mckinley is
certain" said Senator Platt last night
The senator declared that he had not
pretended to guess the name of the
vice-presidential candidate. He fatty
contradieted a report that he had a
conference with Senator Allison, Of
Iowa, and Cornelius n. Bliss, on We'd
nesday evening. Il did not talk with
Senator Allison, and did not know he
was in the city. and did not see Mr.
Bliss" he said, "and there was no talk
about offering the nomination TO Mr.
Bliss. / understood that Mr.. Bliss an
nounced some time ago that he would
not take the nomination and have
heard of no change in the situation"
Senator Platt said there could be no
decision as to a possible recommenda-
tion Of a candidate by the New York
delegation in Philadelphia until the
delegation got together for discus
sion of candidates. The delegation will
not meet until Monday evening. The
talk about Chairman O'Dell Of the re-
publican state campaign committee be-
ing put forward as a candidate, Sena-
tor Platt said, was not taken seriously
by Mr.. O'Dell or by other leaders. The
senator was asked if he thought Cor
nelius N. Bliss would accept a nomi-
nation for the vice-presldency.
Would a duck swim?" he asked in
reply.
Then he said he did not believe Mr..
Bliss could get the support Of the New
York delegation. Il think" he said,
'that Mr.. Woodruff would get more
votes than Mr.. Bliss could in the dele
cation. II Mr.. O'Dell would take the
nomination he could have the support
Of the delegation. Mr.. O'Dell is a man
Of executive ability, as Mr.. Hobart was,
and If he were elected vlce-president he
would I'LL the place as we'll as Mr.. Ho-
bart did"
Senator Allison was at the Albe-
marie Hotel last night, but he declined
to give interviews to newspaper men
who sent their cards to him. He did
not see Senator Platt.
General Charles H. Grosvenor, Of
Ohio, said at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last evening:
There will be no assault committed
upon Governor Roosevelt at the Phila-
delphia convention. There will be no
stampede for any candidate for vice
president. Republican national con-
ventions do not stampede. I have at
tended every national convention since
1860 when Mr.. Lincoln was nominated,
and l have never seen a stampede. AT
ter the nomination for president is
made it is the custom to adjourn to
look over the situation. understand
that sIr. Bliss is not willing to be
candidate. I am in favor Of Mr.. Doln-
yer for vice-president"

MAKES OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Admiral Says Things Are Not as They Used
10 Be, as Bosses and Not the People
Control the Political Machinery
Of the Country.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Admiral
Dewey, who returned from his Western
trip on Wednesday, was seen today by
an Associated Press representative,
and asked whether or not he would de-
fine his position relative to the vice.
presidential nomination. He replied
that. inasmuch as he had not been Of
fered the nomination. it would perhaps
be presumptious in him to say that he
would not accept it.
But" it was suggested. many dem
ocrats throughout the country are dis
cussing the desirabiIity Of placing you
on the ticket with Bryan"
Il have never contemplated being a
candidate for vice-president," replied
the admiral. Il am not candidate for
the nomination for that Office. and
would not accept If nominated. My po-
sition is unchanged. I stand now
where I have stood for the past three
months"
The above statement was submitted
to and approved by Admiral Dewey.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-06-16

Washington correspondent sends a
report Of an interview with Admiral
Dewey, in which he is represented as
ccnfessing that his presidential pros
poets are not good. He said:
Some time ago the leaders. or those
whom we have always regarded as
leaders, asked me if would allow my
name to be used in connection with the
presidency.
After thinking this proposition over
several weeks. said yes, and accord
ingly announced that if the people
wanted me to serve in that capacity 1
would gladly do so.
"But 1 thank God they do not appear
to want me. In these days the people
do not select the president. The choice
is made by a few political leaders, who
put their heads together and fix up
their slate before the convention as
sembles."
Admiral Dewey recalled that in for
rner days it was customary for the can
dldate before national convention re-
ceiving the next highest number Of
votes to the successful man to receive
the nomination for vice-president, and
that meant succession to the presidency
if the party continued in power.
This led the admiral to the question
of whether he would accept the nomi-
nation for vice-president. He said
some of his very best friends had urged
him to make a formal announcement
that he would accept second place on
the ticket with Bryan. This he had de-
clired to do on the ground that the
nomination mad not been rendered him.
Admiral Dewey is entirely familiar
with the situation in China When
asked the direct question:
What is likely to be the outcome Of
the present complications in China?"
the admiral shook his head as If un-
certain about venturing an opinion.
"The situation in China" he said, Il
regard as a serious one-yery serious,
indeed. can only see but one outcome
as a result Of the conflict now In prog
ress in China, and that is the adoption
Of the American policy in favor Of open
ports for American commerce on equal
terms with all other commercial ma
tions Of the world.

It is fortunate that we are in posi-

over One Hundred Men Have Signed
and All Now Required is Authority
from dquarters-Training Ship.

Now that the Territorial bill has
passed the advocates of and enthusiasts
on the subject of a naval brigade for
Honolulu are again to the fore. 1t is
not unlikely that the Secretary of the
Navy will shortly be addressed person
ally on the matter.
Some time ago Capt F. B McStocker
tried to organize the brigade. He got
the men all right and meetings were
held, but the movement was discour-
aged in the east for the reason that Ha-
wall at that time had not been regu-
larly admitted into the United States.
1t was decided to wait, and the matter
was laid to rest just there.
A. w Keech is one of the most en-
thusiastic workers for the brigade. He
has with him several men of experience
and of equal earnestness over 100 men
have signed the roll of the brigade,
and this number can be doubled. In
fact, 1t is believed that three or four
hundred men can be gotten into it. Ev-
erything is now up to- the authorities
in the east. All they have to do is to
say the word
One idea of the men behind the brig
ade is to get training ship down here.
One of the old vessels at Mare Island
would fill the bill and would probably
be serviceable. In it the brigade mem
bers could be given just such training
as they will require. Trips to Hilo and
other points in the Islands could be
made at intervals. and there would be
the very finest chance for sea-target
work.
1t is understood that many of the
military men are anxious to join the
brigade
