MIGHT USE THE OLYMPIA
PROPOSED As FLAGSHIP FOR ENG
LISH TRIP.
Regarded Appropriate That Adj
tion Ceremonies on His Old Vessel.

Following upon the announcement made
some time ago of a plan in embryo at the
Navy Department to send Admiral Dewey
with fine fleet to England to represent
the United States navy at the exercises
which will mark the coronation Of King
Edward VII, a sequential suggestion has
been agitated In naval circles, by way OF
completing the arrangement, to have the
admiral, on that occasion, fly his flag again
over the Olympia, the ship which led his
fleet into Manila bay on the memorable
1st Of May Of 1898.
1t has been the impression that the Olym-
pia. when she is put into commission about
the middle of next month, would he as
signed as flagship Of the South Atlantic
station, but the suggestion now made has
been taken up with enthusiasm. for 1t IL
evident that the hero of Manila. aboard the
very ship which carried his flag into the
hostile Spanish harbor, will be most fit
ting combination to typify American naval
prowess on what will be a memorable oc-
casion in the history Of England.
The Olympia has been undergoing the
most thorough repairs for some time past
at the Boston navy yard, and is especially
well adapted for the purpose indicated,
having splendid accommodations for an
admiral and fine quarters for officers and
men,
The present collection OF American vessels
on the European station Is not a represen-
tative one by any means, but 1t will proba-
bly, form the nucleus of the fleet which
will go to England, being reinforced by
some of our best battle ships and cruisers
In view of the early retirement of Rear
Admiral Cromwell, the present commander
of the station, and as the time for the coro-
nation ceremonies approaches. the COM
mand of the European squadron Is being
most eagerly sought after by several rear
admirals of the navy. But it is generally
recognized that Admiral Dewey, by rank
and by record, is pre-eminently fitted for
and entitled to the honor of heading the
American fleet on the occasion in question,
and there now seems no doubt that he.
aboard his fighting flagship, will lead the
naval representation from our shores when
England crowns her new king.

CHILEAN WINE PRODUCTION.
Vine Culture Has Become an Import
ant Industry.

r. E. Mansfield, United States consul at
Valparaiso, has written to the State De-
partment concerning the production Of wine
In Chile. Vine culture and the production
Of wines has, in recent years, become an
important industry in the republic of Chile.
Lying as it does between the Andes noun
tains and the Pacific ocean, and extending
north and south for distance of 2 400
miles, Chile possesses conditions OF soil and
climate that are admirably adapted to hor-
ticuture, and especially to the cultivation
of variety of wine-producing grapes.
The National Viticultural Society of SAM
tiago which includes in its membership
the principal wine producers of Chile has
done much to promote the industry. The
society is now engaged in an endeavor to
collect data for statistical report of all
the vineyards OF the country, their annual
pie employed etc. From the best informa-
ton obtainable at this time 1T ts estimated
that the wine industry In Chile represents
capital aggregating $50. .0OO, 900, and gives
employment to 10000 people. About 10. 700
acres Of land are devoted to grape culture
and many young vines are being added
yearly.
The process of manufacturing wines in
Chile Is much the same as that employed In
France, and many Of the establishments
possess the most modern equipments. Both
red and white wines are produced some of
which, with age. attain a very fine flavor
the French wines. The greater part of the
wine consumed In Chile is the native prod
uct. which grows In popularity as its quail
ty is improved.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September g.
Bishop John McKim of Toxic, Japan, chair
man of the executive board of foreign mis-
sions of the Episcopal Church, is visiting
his brother here. Interviewed, he said:
Japan is exceedingly anxious to fight
Russia. OF the people of the mkado' 8
realm nineteen-twentieths are eager to
fight, and il it were not for Japans foolish
pride about borrowing money she could win
in a struggle with Russia.
"Japan's fleet is much superior to that
of Russia in the eastern waters. Japan's S
army is larger and is made up of braver
and more intelligent men than those COM
posing Russia's forces in China and Man.
churia. l think, however that if Japan
does not fight Russia very soon her chances
of winning will deteriorate. Russia at pres
ent has no coaling station near Japan, but
in two years the Siberia railway will be
completed and the forces of the cZar will
then be in much better position to war
against Japan and kindred eastern powers
Japan is very much opposed to the par
tition of China and is especially desirous
that Russia shall not secure foothold in
the empire. for the Japanese authorities
well know that Corea, in such an event.
would soon go as Manchuria went and
Russia would be impregnable in position
enabling the cZar to dictate to Japan.

LONDON, September Ga stormy meet
ing of the ecumenical Methodist conference
resulted today from the reading by the
Rev. c. w. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa, of a
paper on THE Influence of MethOdism in
the Promotion of International Peace. =
The five-minute rule was adopted, and the
pastors made fiery speeches for and against
the war in South Africa. The campaign
came in for a lot of criticism, and finally
the chairman ruled reference to 1t out or
order. Many Americans took part in the
discussion, but none of the more prominent
bishops spoke. The speeches were pune
tuated by frequent noisy Interruptions and
cheers and counter cheers. There was a
scene of considerable disorder and the dis
cusSion terminated without any conclusion
being reached
The Rev George Elliott of Detroit. say
ing he had often been called little Amer
lean, bitterly denounced the war.
The Rev. r. ]. Cooke of Chattanooga de-
Tended the necessity of hoStilitieS to Vlndi-
cate principle.
The Rev. j. NJ. King of Philadelphia said
the best solution of the question was in
President Mckinley's sentences uttered at
Buffalo, follows:
THE period of exclusiveness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce is
the pressing problem. Commercial wars
are Improbable. policy of good will and
lIieilulS ItldIlOllS Will prevent iS-
prisals. Reciprocity treaties are in har-
mony with the spirit of the times; meas
ureS of retaliation are not"
The reading of President McKinley's re-
marks brought forth loud applause.
Robert w. Perks, member of parlia-
ment. a prominent contractor and vice
president of the Liberal Imperial Council
deprecated the usefulness of clerical mani
festos. He believed that some were
necessary, but the growing tendency to-
ward unnecessary strife was due greatly
to the influence of corrupt, unlicensed jour-
nalism.
The Rev E. E. Hoss of Nashville, Tenn,
said it would be impertinence for the con-
ference to tell Great Britain what to do in
South Africa.

BIG INTERESTS INVOLVED

CHICAGO September cit was learned
today that since last Monday the working
heads of every road embraced in the Harrl-
man syndicate have been holding eecret
sessions in Chicago, and these meetings
are to continue till the end Of next week.
Among the officials present are ]. G..
Stubbs, general traffic director of the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific systems; E. o. Mccormick.
general passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific; E. L. LomaX, general
passenger agent of the Union Pacific: Ben
Campbell, general traffic manager of the
Oregon railway and Navigation Company;
A. l.. Craig, general passenger agent nf the
same road, and D. e. Hurley, general pas
senger agent of the Oregon short line. All
of these officials brought with them their
stenographers and secretaries. and are
quartered at the Auditorium annex None
of them are registered, and the greatest
secrecy has been preserved concerning
their movements.
When it became known in railroad circles
that the meeting was being held it was
said that it's object was to start a vigorous
campaign for the purpose of bringing to
the Pacific coast and from there to eastern
centerS of commerce every dollars worth
of traffic that can be diverted to this coun-
try from the orient.
" NcSOrmlCk'a views.
E. o. Mccormick general passenger traf-
fic manager of the Southern Pacific, said:
THE little stream of trade that started
across the Pacific practically with the
opening of the Philippine campaign is be-
ginning to increase to such an extent that
it will rapidly develop into a mighty river
We believe that we have made such pro-
vision for this magnificent trade as will
at least take care of it's beginnings. We
have the Occidental and Oriental lines Of
steamers, the Pacific mail and the Japa-
nese line, and vessels the equal of any on
the Atlantic ocean will soon be added to each
of these fleets. Our agents now trav-
cling all through the orient seeking trade
in every city and hamlet and planting the
seed of what we believe will soon be
vast and rapidly increasing commerce
None of the other participants in the
conference would discuss it's real charac-
ter, except to state that schedules and de-
tails of passenger traffic were being look
ed into and equaliZed. 1t is known, how
ever, that one of the principal objects of
the meetings, outside of the main and all
important item of oriental trade extern
sion, is the settlement of the proportions
of traffic between the various lines en-
braced by the combine.
