DEWEY AT WHEELING.
Big Parade in His Honor Spoiled by
Rain,

Wheeling, ". Va. Feb. 22-WheeI-
ing's ovation to Admiral Dewey was en-
thusiastic although weather conditions
were rather unfavorable Rain had
been falling almost continuously since
yesterday making it out of the question
to start the parade which had promised
to eclipse anything of similar nature
ever witnessed in Wheeling. Conse-
quently the committee in charge was
reluctantly compelled to declare the
parade feature of the celebration off.
The speaking and other exercises took
place in one of the large halls at which
time the sword subscribed for by the
citizens of Wheeling was presented to
Lieutenant Doddridge by Admiral
Dewey and the orations incident to the
dedication of the tablet commemorating
the siege of Fort Henry. or the last

The victory IOF curtis means QeISdl
for Leland. It means even more than
that and is by politicians regarded as
the forerunner, of Senator Bakers de-
feat. Mr.. Baker could not be a can
didate for reelection without the sup
port of the district in which he lives.
Since he linked his fortunes with Mr.
Bailey and Mr.. Leland and lost, the
anti-Baker forces claim to foresee the
defeat of the senator for reelection
This is one of the side-lights of the Cur

There are a number of prominent
gentlemen who got a fall in yesterday S

their way the end is not yet.
Public servants who have jeopardized
themselves in turning out in a bitter

A WONDERFUL TRIP.

The bringing over from Cuba to the
United States l 500 teachers and giving
them instruction and further opening
their minds to what American cities
and American institutions of learning
are like, is something unique in the
development of a people. No better or
quicker method of instructing a nation
into the methods and way of life of
another nation could have been devised.
But 1t is being conducted on such a
large scale. The scheme is so progress
sive that one hardly realizes how brill
liant it is.
The Cuban teachers were to reach
Boston before July 4, and were to be
given an opportunity of seeing that
national festival worthily celebrated
Excursions have been planned to show
historic points in the New England
states and to visit institutions. Forty
Harvard students are to devote them
selves to giving instruction in English,
a course of lectures in Spanish has
been arranged for upon American insti-
buttons, the history of the Spanish colo
mics in America, physical geography
and botany, while there will be practi-
cal instruction in kindergarten meth
DDS. Beyond this, when Harvard has
done all it can the whole party is to
be taken to Washington, Chicago and
Niagara Falls.
Just think of the influence this gigan-
tic excursion will have upon the rising
generation of Cubans. Those 1900 Gu
ban teachers will probably directly in
fiuence over $4,000 minds No small
amount of studying of books would
make the impression upon these Cuban
teachers that the direct visit will have
made. They may not gain much from
the lectures, but they will understand
the greatness of the United States, her
commerce, her harbors, her rivers, and
her immensely of space. And this will
be a lesson indeed.

OPIUM.

1t is a curious condition of the law
which permits opium to be imported If
it has paid duty in San Francisco, but
prohibits its use and possession within
the Territory of Hawaii. There is
nothing to prevent you from going to
the cupboard to get your cake, but the
moment you get it into your hand woe
betide you, and If you take bite you
will get into great trouble. '"i'nr
The usually willy Celestial does not
seem to have realized this condition of
affairs. The consequence was a seizure
of a considerable consignment of the
drug which came down on the Austria
liza. Evidently the Chinese firm in San
Francisco thoroughly misunderstood
the law here or they never would have
openly consigned two boxes Of opium to
a firm in Honolulu, OF course this will
not occur again, H.. q .H't
But 1t promises to be very hard
thing for our police to handle. No one
will be so foolish as to put opium upon
the manifest again. But there is no
reason why it should not be shipped
down in boxes and labelled condensed
milk or dried beef or apples. The GUS
tom house people don't bother to ex-
anime goods which come from San
Francisco, and the police cannot under
take, nor would they have the right to
examine such goods.
Any quantity of opium can thus be
introduced and doubtless will be, and
the festive pipe hitter will get his
BLACK smoke" at a very moderate fig
ure, and not at prohibitive rates, as
heretofore. The opium question is quite
a problem STILL and perhaps harder to
deal with now than it was before. The
Star remains of the opinion that the
unrestricted drug is against the inter-
ests of the Territory, but we may be
sure that at the next Legislature there
/ will be an attempt to take all restric-
tions off. 1t is to be hoped the trainers
of such a measure may prove unsuc-
cessful.

SHIPWRECKS.

From our insular position We get
lot of many places. The last ship
wreck story we have was published on
Saturday, telling how the NcNear ran
into Dowsett Reef near Laysan Island
and became a total loss, while her crew
had to take to three boats and were
two days and a night before reaching
Laysan Island.
1t is curious that in most of the disas-
ters the wrecks have occurred from our
own coasts, those wrecks which have
occurred about the Islands seldom be-
ing accompanied by loss of life. If
some one would make a compilation
from the old files there would be a
very unique set of stories of adven-
ture, of death, of courage, of nautical
skill and plucky endurance.
There was an American man of war
that sailed gaily off to San Francisco
and was never heard of again, although
it is claimed that one of her masts
came ashore at Kau. There was an
other American man of war, she was
a survey vessel that went ashore on
Midway Island. A lieutenant took
charge of the boat and sailed and pull
ed for a weary fortnight when he made
the Island of Kauai, but in trying to
run the breakers off Kalihiwai, his boat
overturned and he and all his crew
save one were drowned A young
Kauai lady riding the beach discovered
the lieutenant's body. The survivor
gave the news and the old "Kilauea"
was sent under Captain Long to rescue
the shipwrecked crew They arrived
in Honolulu and cheered most Justify
as the steamer came up to the wharf.
Captain Long received a gold watch
from the American government.
Then there was the Dunnottar Castle
which went ashore on an adjacent ISL
and. The mate and crew We're in a
boat and We're a month on the way
reaching Waimea, Kauai, in an eX-
hausted condition. A relief steamer
was sent up, but when she arrived, the
captain and crew had already been
taken off by a ship bound for Valpa-
raise, where they eventually were land

The mate and part Of the crew OF

They had neither provisions nor water
left, and were lying ready for death al
the bottom of their boat. The natives
went out in canoes and saved them
The captains boat with his wife and
child on board was never heard OF
again.
Yes there are many tales Of the sea
connected with our coasts, and when q
disaster like that of the McNear occurs
ones mind naturally goes back over the
incidents of the past.

STA. But Lord Salisbury saw through
the scheme and make II known that the
cuban question concerned the United
states and Spain alone. and that II they
fought she would preserve strict neu-
trality, and intimated that II would be
wise for other European nations to do
the same.
Had England acted i'm concert with
the other European powers the trend Of
events would have been entirely differ
ent. The fruits Of her victories would
have been snatched from the United
States, and her prestige, which now
stands so high, would have been low
cred for half a century to come. The
word of the United States is mighty
in the world, because the European and
Asiatic powers thoroughly realize that
she has to be reckoned with. In any
question which rises in China now the
word of the United States will go for a
very great deal; indeed, the United
States will probably have the most to
say upon the matter, as her commercial
interests entitle her to, but the word
would not have had such weight

UNWRITTEN HISTORY.

The part that Russia played before
the Spanish war is interesting because
it may cast light upon present compli-
cations in quite another part of the
world. The story is told by A. Maurice
Low under the caption of an "Unwrit-
ten Chapter in American Diplomacy"
the object of which is to show what
Secretary of State Hay accomplished
before the war, and it shows the part
played by the British government at
that time.
1t may be promised, as the writer eX-
plains, that the British government at
that time and it is the same govern
ment now, was strongly pro-American.
Lord Salisbury, the writer says, us
impressed with the grandeur of Amer
lea, the remarkable energy of the Amer
leans and the great future which lies
open before them. Arthur Balfour, the
premers nephew, government leader of
the House, and his uncles confidant,
shares his uncle's views. Joseph Cham
berlain, Secretary of State for colonial
affairs, is married to a Massachusetts
lady, descended from one of the oldest
Puritan families. Looked at in this
way one is able to see where the pref
erence towards America lay. But it
also lay in masses of the people, who,
one way or another, are allied to Am
orleans. The bonds by marriage and
friendship have been growing nearer
and nearer for over a quarter of a CEN
tury. But the influence upon the Span
ish war did not lie with the people, it
lay with the government.
Spain was at her wits end and was
clamoring and intriguing throughout
Europe to find some help against the
evidently certain war with the United
States, Russia, the supposed friend Of
the United States, stepped in with
scheme. She pointed out that in the
interests Of peace Spain should be in
'duced or coerced into selling or ex-
changing Cuba, which Great Britain
might find valuable, to round out her
West Indian possessions. OF course
this would have been a contravention of
the Monroe doctrine but If any obJec-
ton was made, the intimation was Civ
en- that there were to be two countries
to fight with a backing of numerous
European states. France was pledged
to Russia. Germany could be kept
quiet. 1t was quite an ingenious plot,
but Russian diplomats are forever
Matching them, and sometimes the set
ting does not come out added.
However, the plot failed, because
Lord Salisbury would have none of it.
He had not read his Aeneid in vain,
and he remembered the line about
"Timeo Danaos ct done prentes'-I fear
the Greeks and the gifts they bring,
No British cabinet minister could imag-
inc that the Moscovite would wish to
extend British power. He would do ev-
erything, and had been doing every
thing to curb It. The British and the
Russian are sworn enemies.
The plan was a good one from the
Russian standpoint. 1t would infallibly
have embroiled the United States and
Great Britain, which would have nee
essarily be for the advantage of Rus
