want Something to Purpose.

Baltimore News.
The American people are easily taken off
their feet but they don't stay off very
long. They will want something infinitely
more 10 the purpose than tbs first pronun-
ciaWento Of the Admiral before they will
take him seriously Unless he gives them
something substantial, something that
shows he has convictions upon government
tai problems and has the ability to make
those convictions effective in practice his
entrance into the Presidential field will
simply serve to convert national hero
into national laughing stock. This would
be a calamity which we trust Admiral
Dewey Will hasten, in one way or another,
10 make Impossible.

4 Violation of Duty

Milwaukee Sentinel.
The bin is a violation of the plain duty
of the United States: that it breaks the
promise made to the Puerto Ricans: that
the bill offenGs the moral sense Of hun
dreds of thousands of Americans; that it
begins legislation fer our new possessions
in such a way as to make their inhabitants
uneasy and suspicious. All these evil re-
suits could have been avoided by COM
paratively small Appropriation from the
United States treasury

Oil took an unexpected slump Of five
cents barrel to-day, and W. Va, oil
is now quoted at s1.63. AS production
has been steadily decreasing the de-
cline in price is not understood.
A passenger agent of the Santa Fe
road says the passenger travel over his
road out of Sistersville. ST. Mary's
and New Martinsville for California
has been quite heavy. on account of
the oil excitement in that State.
Drillers, tool dressers, and even pro-

Horoscope Of the Order.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The action OF
the health authorities In making renewed

closed a memoranda showing the exis-
tence Of the bubonic plague In Chinatown

ton any class Of persons who may be deS-
ignated by the surgeon general Of the Ma
rine Hospital Service as being likely TO
convey. the risk Of plague cOntagion TO
other communities. and said common car
riers shall be subject to inspection"
This order was originally directed against
