THEY ARE "SEA DOGS" NOW.
Farm Hands are Transformed Into
Good sailors During short Cruise
on a Trimming Ship.

New York, Aug. o.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser and training
ship Dixie. which left here on Decem.
Der % for a cruise in the West Indies,
which ultimately extended to Manila,
returned to port yesterday.
The Dixie carried away with her
400 landsmen, recruited from inland
villages. They were mostly farm
hands. After getting her orders at
Hampton Roads, She went to San
Juan and st. Thomas. Leaving the
latter place about February 20, after
a stay of nine days, she went to Fun
chal, Algiers and Naples. At Naples,
after a stay of week, she was or
dered to cruise about the Mcditerra-
mean and through the Suez canal to
Manila, which was reached on May i.
There her new sailors were diStrib-
uted among the vessels of the fleet in
the harbor.
The home voyage was made with a
crew made up of men whose terms of
enlistment had nearly expired.
When the Dixie had been docked at
the navy yard Capt. Belllnap went
ashore to report.
What has become of the green
horns you had when you left here?'
the captain was asked.
"Greenhorns? | guess not" he an
swered. There wasn't grecnhorn
or landsman left in that lot when |
had done with them. Call them sea
dogs now. and good, contented sea
dogs at that"

tiles inflicted by Chinese.

Victoria, i. C., Aug. 9.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Empress
of Japan, which arrived FROM the
Orient Wednesday, were - mission
aries who were fugitivcs from North
China. Many of them had narrow
escapes One of the number. Il Miss

AN EMPHATIC DEMAND.
Il Is Made by the United states TO
China, for Free Communication with
Our Minister at Pekin.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Chinese
stua tion is considered very grave by
the authorities in Washington. The
receipt of the last message from Min
ister Conger, which indicated con-
tinuation of the firing upon the lega-
toners and the Chinese governments $
insistence that the ministers should
leave Pekin, which Mr.. Couger con-
sidered would mean certain death,
brought matters to an acute stage.
Yesterday the cabinet officers who
are in town consulted with each Other
and the president was communicated
with As q result of these conSulta-
tions it was announced that a mes
sage to the imperial government at
PelSin had been delivered to Minister
WI for transmission to his govern
ment.
The message sent to the Chinese
government informs that government
that the removal of the restrictions
upon communication with our minis
ter, evidenced both by the receipt Of
Mr.. Conger's message and the edict
of the 5th, is very gratifying, but is
not an entire compliance with the or
iginal demands of the president in his
reply to the appeal for mediation.
The president in his original commu-
nication to the emperor of China laid
down three conditions precedent TO
any action looking to negotiations
for the settlement of difficulties be
tween China and the powers. These
conditions, in the presidents own
words, were as follows:
Il urge upon your majesty's gov
ernment to give public assurance
whether the foreign ministers are
alive, and if so in what condition.
ITO put the diplomatic representa-
tives of the powers in immediate and
free communication with their re-
spective governments, and to remove
all danger to their lives and liberty.
ITO place the imperial authorities
of China in communication with the
relief expedition. so that co-opera ton
NAV be secured between them for the
liberation of the legations and the
protection of foreigners, and the re-
storation of order
The new demand upon the Chinese
government is for square-toed COM
pliance with these conditions. There
is hope, growing out of the fact that
the Chinese government has yielded
partially, that when confronted with
the firm position taken by the United
States it will make complete acquies-
cence.

PopuIist Leaders In Council.

Chicago. Aug. 10.-The popnlist ma

Charles a. Towne. populist candidate

did not fix upon a date for the calling
together of the entire national COM

DEWEY TALKS.
He Gives Out a Statement Regarding
the Situation in the Philippines and
In China.

New York, Aug. 10.-A Washington
dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle says
that Admiral Dewey came to town
Thursday from his country home in
the suburbs of Washington.
II regard the news from the Phil
ippines as particularly encouraging.
the admiral is quoted as saying to
the Eagle correspondent "Aguinal-
dos lieutenants are surrendcring one
after another. Whatever show of re-
sistance to our authority there is at
the present time in the Philippines
will be kept up until after our elec-
tion IA November. The insurrection
is kept alive by the leaders, who hold
out to the soldiers the hope of Bry-
ans election.
~ regard the situation in China as
exceedingly grave. The difficulties
that our soldiers will have to con
tend against are many and various.
The conditions that exist there are
very much the same as those in the
Philippine islands"
When asked whether in his opinion
there was really a condition of war
now existing between this country
and China, he said:
81 should say most assuredly yes.
They are killing our people and our
soldiers are fighting hard for their
lives.
"The navy can be of little service
in this Chinese difficulty. Our war
ships can, however, keep things quiet
at Hong Kong and Shanghai. Gur
naval commanders can do Just as |
did at Manila when AguinaIdo said
he was going TO take the city. | sent
him word that if he did. he would
not find one brick upon another. and
that | would raHe the city to the

straight in those cities within the
reach of their ouDS'

The following address was issued
last night:
ITO the Democrats of the United
States: The democratic party and
its friends must meet the forces of
corruption and intimidation in poll
tics this year by thorough crganiza-
ton. \ democratic club or society
should be organized in every city,
town. village and precinct in the Uni
ted States. Democrats and all men
who are in sympathy with the princi-
pies set forth in the Kansas City
platform are earnestly urged TO join
democratic clubs, or, when none ex-
lists. TO assist in organizing them.
This work of uniting the forces of
law and liberty into one great syS-
tematiZcd civic army should he car
ried on simultaneously in every part
of the country and without delay.
The friends of government according
to the hitherto unchallen"ed Ameri-
can theory of political equality every
where under our flag. cannot afford
to be less jealous or less active than
the advocates of an American colon
ial empire supported by rifles.
NO patriotic citizen can ignore the
attacks which are being made upon
the very foundation of our present
irrcproachab bic form of government.
This wear every citizen should be a
politician. Clubs and societies should
at once communicate with the secrc-
tary of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs. 1870 Broadway,

Adrian. Mich, Aug. 9.-The Page
Wire Fence Co. went into the hands
of receivers Wednesday, both at Mon
'oseen, Pa, where it has a plant, and
in this city. The Union Trust Co.. Of
Pittsburg, was named receiver for
the Monoseen plant and Leslie b.
Robertson for the Adrian plant. The

when the Page Co. undertook the
erection of a steel rolling and wire

TWO ARE EXACTLY ALIKE
Bethlehem and Carnegie COM
panies Ask the Same Price.
THEY HAVE BUT ONERIVAL-
The MidvaIe. Pa, steel Co. Underbids
the other Two Concerns, but Cannot
Furnish Armor Plate as Quickly aa
Its Competitors.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Bids for the
armor for the eight battIcships. six
armored cruisers and three protected
cruisers authorized by the last two
sessions Of congress were opened FRI
day at the navy department. The
armor advertised for aggregates So
$50 tons and constitutes the largest
item of it's character ever opened to-
competition by the navy department.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem steel
companies, which have heretofore mo-
nOpOliZed the production of armor
plate for the use of the government,
had a rival in the Midvale (Pa.) Steel
Co. These three companies were the
only bidders for armor plate, but
there were two minor bidders for the
bolts and nuts. amounting TO 500
TONS which are to be furnished in
connection with the armor plate.
= The Bethlehem and Carnegie COM
panieS each bid for only half the ar
NOR to be furnished and their bids
were identical in amount, terms of
delivery and other features. The
Midvalc Co. bid for the entire amount
of armOr at a price considerably be-
low that of the other companies and
also included i'm their bids n sliding
upward scale for lesser amounts than
the total aggregate, with the condi-
ton, however. that the bid should
not be considered unless 10000 tons
or more should be awarded to them
While their bid for the aggregate.
amount is lower, the period which
must elapse before deliveries are to
begin is much longer.
In the letters OF transmittal that
accompanied the bids for both the
Bethlehem and Carnegie companies
il was stated that the navy depart
mant's conditions as laid down in the
advertisement were mot applicabla
to the production of krupp armor"
and that the bidders should expect
such reasonable notifications Of the
department'S conditions as would be
necessary
This means that the companies viii
not allow the naval officers detailed
on inspection duty to watch the man
ufacture OF the hrIpp plates through
the entire process. The companies
claim that this was among the con-
ditions on which the secret of the
process was purchased abroad.
The rates Of delivery named by the
several bidders would make the Mid
vale Co. eight years in furnishing the
armor for which they bid and the
other two companies five years each.
As the ships are under contract to be
finished in three years and the gov
ernmcnt is under obligation to fur
niSh the armOr to the builders as
they need IT, this DELAY in armOr de-
liveries probably would give rise to
numerous claims for overtime on the
part of the ship builders.
No action will be taken upon ths
bids until the return OF Secretary
Long. when he will decide whether
he will accept them o. pursue the all
ternatiye course of erecting a govern
ment armor plant. .
