Admiral Dewey Describes How Manila
Was Given Up.
Admiral Dewey has told to the Senate
committee on the Philippines his story
Of the battle Of Manila Bay and the
events Immediately following He says
ae did certain things and did not do GER
tain other things. As he remarked TO
the committee, he was simply "a long
ways from home; there were no cables,
and / was meeting emergencies as they
arose." That he met these emergencies
Is not doubted by the American people,
nor do they question his version of the
brief but brilliant bit of history of which
be directed the making.
What interests us more now is the adj
m;rars emphatic denial that he ever rec
ognized Aguinaldos government, ever sa-
Iuted Aguinaldo's flag, ever called Agui-
naldo general or ever gave the Philip
pine republic the slightest recognition, for
he had no authority to do so and did not
consider it an organized government. Ma
Mia was surrendered to Dewey by the
Spaniards under agreement and immedi-
ately following the defeat of the Spanish
aeet. 1t was not then occupied by the
Americans simply because Dewey had no
troops to garrison it.
Dewey says he knew nothing of the as
pirations of the Filipnos toward indepen-
ience until he received Aguinaldo's proc
amation on July 10, a month and half
after the decisive battle of Manila Bay.
And Dewey thought so little of this proc
amation that he did not bother to cable
it to Washington, but left its transmits
sion to the mails.
In short, the admiral throughout his
recital declares that he gave Agulhaldo
and the Filipinos no reason to hope that
be approved of their efforts to found a
republic. But he maintains his original
statement that he considers the islanders
more capable of self-government than the
Cubans.

Pelee's Eruption.

The contention Of biologists that the
recent eruption of Mount Pelee and 9th

would not only affect territory adjacent
to that island, but would be noticed in

The National Memorial University at
Mason City, Iowa.
The first and main building of the Ma
tional Memorial University, being built at
Mason City, Iowa, solely by contributions
from the Sons Of Veterans of the United
States and allied organizations, has just
been completed. The structure, erected
at cost of 100000. occapies a central
position in the 160acre site on Patriots
Hill. The other buildings will be grouped
around il and it is expected that the in
stitution will be thrown open in the fall
of 1903. The National Civil War Mu-
scum is expected TO have the greatest
collection of war relics in the United
States. Another building will be Barton

GREAT TREASURY SURPLUS.
Figures Show an Exceedingly Pros
porous Year for Nation.

Uncle Sam has had good year. On
the last day of the fiscal year the sreas-
ury figures showed surplus for the
twelve months of nearly $90,OOO,OO0. Not
withstanding the large appropriations by
Congress and the heavy expense of the
war in the Philippines. the receipts dur
ing the year show almost that great sum
in excess of expenditures. Last year S
surplus was about $75,000.000.
To show the magnitude of the business
Uncle Sam is carrying on it is only nee
essary to quote from the official treas
ury statement:

VERY ENCOURAGING.
The Inter-Ocean's New County Map
Promises to be Grand Success.

The Inter Ocean is greatly pleased
with the interest manifest in the new
map of Ramsey county which we have
undertaken to get out. Many people
have an erroneous impression as to
the value of this great work. The
map the Inter Ocean has undertaken
to get up, will be first class in every
particular. 1t will be lithogra phed
and mounted on the best Of map linen,
ready for hanging. It is not cheap
paper affair, but is something which
will last for years. A large force of
men are now in the field gathering
necessary information. AS previously
stated the map will show every piece
of land in the county, the name of the
owner, the location on the land of
the farm buildings, the school housesl
churches, lakes, streams, rural mai,
routes, public highways, railroads,
tele graph and telephone lines, the
population of the county by townships,
etc. Every citiz en- of the county is
interested in this work, and one of
the maps should be placed in every
family. 1t will be an educator te
both old and young, and will be Of
great value and convenience to every
one. In order to make the work s
success we need the cooperation of al
who are interested in the county, and
we are glad to say that with few ex'
ceptions all who have been approach
ed have readily become interested.
It is something never before under
taken in the county and will be Of
value for years.

Miss Collins has starred in this play
in all the leading cities Of Europe and
America, and was engaged by Mr..
Evans especially for this play. Miss
Collins wardrobe IS magnificent, and
the play is put on with all the scenery

showed marked emotional ability, and
held her hearers spellbound.

RAPID RISE.
Due to His Ability t. Grasp Every
New Problem.
New York's Democratic Candidate
for or Is an Illinois Prod
uct-His Splendid Record as
City Comptroller.

Bird S. Coler, who was nominated
for governor by the democratic state
convention at Saratoga, n. Y, was
comptroller of New York city under
Mayor Van Wyck, and his record in
that Office made him a gubernatorial
possibility several years ago. He is
a member Of the firm of W.. N. Coler &
Co, bankers. He was born at Urbana,
Ill, 80 years ago.
Since Mr.. Coler has been in public life
he has been well advertised. This in
a large IA has been due to the
keen appreciation he has of news" in
the professional sense. When the fight
against the great Ramapo grab of
$2O0,0O0,O00 was on, several years. ago.,
Coler was cartooned as the David hurl-
ing his sling at the mighty Goliath of
Graft. When the movement for rapid
transit began to take material shape
it was Coler who championed tunnels
when Van Wyck, then mayor, tried to
put all the surplus city funds into
bridges. When disclosures were made
as ito the reckless way in which the
Tammapy corporation counsel was
confessing judgments and allowing
cases to be settled without trial it was
Coler who went to Albany and secured
the passage of restraining act.
When the fright over a water famine
came, and the demand was made for a
new source of supply for New York
city, Coler paid $1,000 from his W
pocket to John r. Freeman, of Provi-
adence, r. J., to make a survey of all
available water sheds. When the West
street ''grab" was attempted, by which
a private corporation would have en-
circled the water front with-a freight
railroad, Coler, with his own funds, en-
ployed ex-Judge John r. Dillon to pre-
pare an opinionfo for presentation at the
hearing before Gov. Odell. During the
four years Of his term as a city official

temperance, and described England az
"a drunken nation" As for Mrs. Carrie.
Nation, she laughed heartily over the
Kansas amazon, said that she was mis-
guided and that her efforts to reform
drunkards did more harm than good.
Lady Somerset handled the question
OF canteen in the army without gloves,
and said that the time wassnot far dis
tant when Intoxicating liquor would
not be tolerated even in the English
army.
Drunkenness is on tfE increase in
England d." said Lady Somerset. II am
really ashamed to tell the American
people in what a d%eplorable state the
United Kingdom is. It has become a
nation of drunkards. 1t seems hope-
less to work for its reformation. In
the army alone, the very place where
one would expect to find it, less spirits
r used, than formerly.
"The increase in intoxication at
home is due to the spread of the dis
ease among women. I am very sorry
to hear that women in America are
drinking more thaneformerly. / cam
not believe it. I had such great hope
sof American women. They always
seemed to have more backbone and
will power than my countrywomen.
"To illustrate to you how women
abroad have taken to drink, / want to
say that about IS years ago the aver
age of arrests in London for intoxica-
ton was four men to one Now
it is three women to one man.
'VVhy is it? Well, one of the chief
reasons is that there has been too
much privacy about the public houses
of late, and women are row able to 90
to any of them without being seen by
the public.
"The increase in drink among women
has naturally made a great increase in
crime. The reason is apparent. Wom-
en- are excitable, sensitive and
in drink than men, and in this
condition will commit crime more
readily. The school bill that was
passed prohibiting the sale Of liquor
to children under IA years has stopped
drunkenness to some extent, but it is
only adrop in the bucket"

Sir Thomas Lipton's big gifts to al
sorts of philanthropies having failed
to convince Lord Salisbury Of the pro-
priety of giving him a seat in the house
OF lords, even at the kings request, the
doughty baronet has decided to work
his way up to the peerage through
politics.
For years Upton vas a much sought
after candidate for parliamentary con-
stituencies, and especially since he be-
came a knight has hehad offers,o Of safe
seats in all parts of the country. He
has now decided to take the next
chance that presents itself.
His present politicalviews are doubt
full. Some years ago he proclaimed
