Lisbon, April 1.-THE question of the
transport of British troops across Portu-
guese territory from Beira, Portuguese
East Africa, into Rhodesia, having been
brought up in the chamber of deputies,
the foreign minister, Senior Beirao,
made the following statement: e
"The transport of British soldiers by
railroad from Bcira to Umtali was re-
Quested by Great Britain and consented
to by Portugal because the British gov
ernment thereby only exercised a right
recognized in the treaties between the
two countries. The outbreak of war has
not abrogated these treaties, which were
concluded and signed prior to the war
by Portugal in spirit of loyalty, have
Informed the Transyaai of this resolution.
Portugal has loyally adhered to its du-
tics and neutrality, and its resolutions
hayc been communicated to all interested
parties"

Admiral Confirms Report That He "
willing to BE u Candidate.
Washington, April 4.--Admiral George
Dewey has confirmed an interview pub
lished in the New York World to the cf-
feet that he would accept the presidency
of the United States should the Ameri-
can people desire him to fill that office.
He refused to make any further state
ment.
The following is what Admiral Dewey
said in answer to questions cS The
Worlds correspondent:
81 realize that the time has arrived
when / must definitely define my posi-
tion. When l arrived in this country last
September, said then that nothing would
induce me to be a candidate for the pres
idency. Since then, however, have had
the leisure and inclination to study the
matter and have reached a different con-
clusion, inasmuch as so many assurances
have come to me from my countrymcn
that | would be acceptable as candi-
date for this great office. If the Ameri-
can people want me for this high Office, I
shall be only too willing to serve them.
1t is the highest honor in the gift OF this
nation. What citizen would refuse it?
Since studying tlss subject am con-
not such very difficult one to fill, his
duties being mainly to execute the laws
of congress. Should | be chosen for this
exalted position | would execute the
laws of congress as faithfully as l have
always executed the orders of my supe-
riors.
When asked upon what platform he
wonld stand, the admiral replied:
81 think l have said enough at this
time and possibly too much"
1t IS an open secret that for several
months the admiral's charming wife has
been urging her husband to take an ac-
tive part in public affairs. Mrs. Dewey
is one of the most ambitious women in
this city OF ambitious women. She be-
licves in her famous husband and thinks
that no position is too great for him.

winter at the residence Of John X. Nc

changed TO the president"

| The Mckinley Republicans on Satur
day last held their county convention in
| their rooms on Gregory street. They
nominated Wm. Z. Bcnnallack, Sr., fol
commissioner, and DR.. j. y. Richmond
for representative.
Both nominees are pleasant gentle
men, but as far as commissioner goes the
Fusion ticket has the :ablest and best
candidate for that office, and for that
reason we viii work against the election
of Mr.. Bennallacl.
In the nomination of DIR. j. a. Rich
IN md for representative they have put
up a strong man in way-personally-
and owing TO his personal popularity ex-
pect to carry the election. But, al
though we avegreat respect and frienc-
ship for him, we cannot support him.
Why? Well in the first place, he is
pledged to vote for +. o. Wolcott for
U. S. Senator Mr.. Wolcott, we think,
has no right to this Office. a senator
should represent his constituents, and
Mr.. Wolcott can never be accused OF
this, as he has always been opposed to
the wishes OF majority of the people OF
the stnte OF Colorado As a second rea-
son that we oppose Mr.. Richmond is that
we think he will never give up his busi'
ness here for 81 day for three months
us n member of the legislature, He will
be compelled to neglect ore or the other,
and il is our opinion that it will be the
legislature And so what is the use to
elect man just to vote for Wolcott!
Our third reason is that he is allowing
some politicians to use his personal
popularity for their political aims, and
that there is not the least particle OF
principle involved. II IL had been for
Republican principles he would never
have been nominated, but some other
Republican would have locked for the
nomination.
We think these rensons arc sufficient
for us to holp defeat him Mt the polls,
and we will use al honorable means to
do 30.

could be had by anyone, no one more

Over the strickan hearts of Mr.. La Bean

the death angel has indeed cast pail
of sorrow, none the less bitter because
possibly anticipated because OF the
critical illness of our dear friend, who
has now entered into rest, and whose
angelic spirit has joined the heavenly
choiristers.
To those who knew her as friend and
associate there is the void of a noble
presence gone. The ties of intimacy
feel the pain and throb of parting from
kindly heart and hand, and from the in
huence OF placid, earnest demeanor
that carried with it the we'll wishes of
all. A spotless character, q life OF
Christian heroism, her patience in suffer.
ing resembled that Of the Master, and
she went from us to the better land
without fear or doubt. Always ready
for the summons, it came alta time when
life was full of promise and hope, came
before there was mar in the beautiful
symmetry Of her noble character, came
before she fully realized that hor high
and noble aspirations had matured at
the birth of her first infant, whose
birth was completing of her already
happy home.
So another hand is beckoning US,
Another call is given,
And glows once more with angel steps
The pathswhich reaches heaven.
Our young and gentle friend whose smiles
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of autumn time
Has left us with the flowers.
No palling of the cheek of bloom
Forewarned us of decay;
No shadow from the silent land
Fell round our sisters way.
The l;gtt OF her young life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory Of setting sun,
Clear, suddenly and still.
We miss her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth fires light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet Good night"
Gcd in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And, though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER.
On the border land we left them,
Soon TO meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world OF care,
We shall find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn nesting,
Calmly say, Thy will be done"
