The Dubuque Times notices that
Candidate Woolley told the people of
Des Moinss that a victory for either
Mckinley or Bryan would be a victory
for the saloon. He expects a victory
for the saloon this year, but he is out
to beat Mckinley on the theory that he
can by this means compel the repub-
8lican part.r of the nation to take up the
cause of prohibition. 1t is vain hope.

He WOULDN'T TELL

"A little incident occurred in our estab-
lishment the other day, said a prominent
local merchant. that carried a moral
which l would like to see impressed upon
every young man entering business life.
Not long ago employed n clerk who had
been discharged from another house in
the same line knew him to be com.
potent, aud a little inquiry satisfied me
that his dismissal was due to Il petty
conspiracy among some jealous fellow
employees. So engaged him at good
salary. and lie has given thorough salts
faction \ few days ago one of our staff
was anxious to know what concessions
Ncre made by the other house to GER
tain customer n n neighboring city. and
he went to this young man for the infor-
nation.
"'rhe clerk hesitated and looked dis
tressed and finally asked to be excused
from replying. i know the facts, of
course, he said. but it is strictly con-
fdential matter. and l don't think
ought to diyulge it to q rival firm. The
department head who questioned him
took cffense Mt his position. which am
sure he would not have done had he
given the subject any thought. and re-
minded him, pretty sharply, that lie had
been summariy discharged and owed no
allegiance to the other establishment.
Nevertheless the young man stood firm.
and the matter WAS reported to me. ] ut

honor and raised his salary. which took
him completely OF his feet. as he
had fully expected to be told to go.

WITHDRAWING FROM China.

OEe of the leading English papers vas
disposed to criticise the action Of our
government in Withdrawing It's troops
from China and entering into negotia-
TORS for a peaceful settlement of pas
difHe ufties. yet II Is announced that
Lord Salisbury has replied to the Ger
man note in terms Identical With that
OF the United States, declining to make
the surrender of guilty Chinese con-
dit!on precedent TO negotiations for a
settlement. In Washington the reported
adhesion of the British government to
the position assumed by the United
States on the point above named has
given the greatest satisfaction in our
official circles.

MODIFYING HER FLEET.
Precautionary Measures Taken by the
Britisl, Cabinet.


British Cabinet.
4 LONDON, Feb lit is now known
that the cabinet devoted much Of it's dis
cussion on Saturday to the mobilization
of the feet. Nothing was settled except
a measure of further security to the
home coasts has been obtained by the
naval preparations and that the Eighth
division should not be sent to South
Africa. The admiralty issued orders
that the Channel squadron, instead Of
leaving Portland this week for Gibraltar
as previously directed, Shall assemble on
Feb. 5 off Eddystone and Banty for a
fortnight's exercise off the Irish coast,
thus keeping in home waters for a time.
This decision to delay the Eighth diyi-
sion at a time when nforcements are
so urgently required may mean only
that transports are not yet available and
that the =. - -
a3asi Division May Yet Embark
when the shipping is available. Their
detention, il such a course was deter
mined upon, would be of the utmost i'm
portance. There is nothing in the intel,
igence possessed by the public to cause
the cabinets prolonged discussion Of
this matter and the Inference is that the
fleet may be modified as a general
warning to other countries to keep their
hands off the Transvaal situation or
that the ministry may have definite
knowledge that the neutral powers pur-
pose to take advantage elsewhere while
England is busy in South Africa. One
thing is certain-10,OO0 men all ready
go to South Africa are detained fer
reasons of which the public has no
knowledge. . -
There is talk Of IL military battalions
being embodied. These are all of the
militia not previously warned. A sharp
lookout is being kept on volunteers for
the various South African regiments
