GIVES VIGOR AND

II is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF Its
women. The general conditions which con-
nibute to health and long life, are those which
10 not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion

While we assert that the women OF our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact

Percy stood up in the cockpit and

PRIZEMONEY FORDEWEY
Supreme Court Decides in Favor of
the Admiral and His Men.
SIMPSONS CASE DISMISSED

Opinion Says II Efforts at Salvage
Had Failed or Cost Exceeded the
Value, Cewey's Men Still Would be
Entitled to Bounty.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decid-
cd the prize money cases brought by
Admiral Dewey in behalf OF himself
and the officers and men of his fleet on
account OF the vessels sunk at Manila
and afterward reclaimed. in their
favor, but the cases of Admiral Samp-
son. for whose name that of Admiral
Taylor was substituted in his own be-
half and that of his officers and men
on account of the Maria Theresa, sunk
at the battle of Santiago, were decided
adversely to the claimants. The Their
esa was sunk after being rescued.
whereas the vessels reclaimed at Ma
Mia are still in use.
The court first passed on the Dewey
case. Taking up the question as to
whether the Spanish vessels. Don Juan
de Austria. the Isle de Cuba and Isla
do Luzon. were properly adjudicated
as prizes for the benefit of captors, in
view of their condition Immediately
after the engagement at Manila. and
their beins subsequently raised and
put in commission, the opinion says
that If the effort at salvage had sailed,
or If the cost had equaled or exceeded
the value. the captors still would be
entitled TO bounty
9 ~ tho nropartv tokan from tho
vessels raised and reconstructed, and
that taken from the vessels destroyed"
says the-opinion. I'VE think that it's
legal status must be regarded as the
same as that OF the vessel to which
1t belonged. The statute did
not contemplate a division of the
grant, and an award of prize money
and bounty in respect to the same
transaction"
Concluding on this point, the opin-
ion says that even if the contention
be correct that bounty alone would be
an inadequate reward. that would not
justify'the court in attributing to the
statute a scope not permitted by its
terms.
Concerning the naval stores cap
tured by Admiral Dewey at Cavite, the
opinion says the property in question
was taken subject to the exercise of
the power of restitution. and the gov
eminent must be regarded as absolved
from liability for whatever was re
stored under the treaty of peace
Taking up the Sampson case and
passing on the case of the Maria Tere-
sa, the court reverses the decree OF
condemnation OF the District Court to
the effect that that vessel and all the
property taken from her and from the
other vessels were lawful prize of war,
and directs that the libel filed by the
naval officers be dismissed.

ton OF the house amendment giving

COMPROMISE May FAIL
Democratic Senators Will Not Accent
Substitute Statehood Bill.
TO MAKE NO MORE CONCESSIONS
Whiie Efforts Towards Compromise
Continue, Few Senators Expect an
Adjustment to be Reached - Will
Make counter-PropositIon.

Washington. Feb. "a. - Statehood
compromise was talked of yesterday.
II was generally understood that what
was generally known as the Spooner
compromise. being the two-state bill
drawn by the Wisconsin senator.
would be satisfactory to the Democrats.
The compromise bill provides that be-
tore Arizona can be set of as a sepa-
rate state the population of Monte
yuma must be 100000, OF which 30o.-
coo should be in Arizona The Demo-
Gratis, while talking in a conciliatory
spirit said that they had little hope
that the Republican proposition would
be acceptable to them. II is quite like
ly that when this proposition is sub
mitted the Democrats will have a con-
ference. Probably a counter PROPOSE
ton then will be made providing that
when Arizona has a population which
IS the average for a representative in
congress 1t shall be admitted as a state;
also that census shall be taken every
year. The Democrats say they want
provision fixing date which shall
bring Arizona into the Union. This
would not be satisfactory to the Repub-
hncans. While the efforts toward a COM
promise continue, there are only few
senators who expect an adjustment to
be reached, and the prospects of state
hood legislation are still remote.
There was an earnest conference in
the senate chamber after adjournment
yesterday. participated in by Senators
Aldrich. Quay, Hanna. Foraker. Nc
Comas. Beveridge and Kean. when it
was definitely decided that the propo-
sition for a compromise on two states
should be submitted to the Democrats.
Senator Quay presented a memoran-
dunn OF the important features of the
compromise 10 Senator Bate, who pre-
sented it TO a conference Of Democrats
today. II is expected that the Repub-
lican proposition will be rejected and
a counter proposition made. Demo-
cratic leaders say that they cannot ac-
cept the compromise suggested. and the
Republicans say that no further con-
.cessions will be made.

severe rap here Sunday in his annual

the course Of his sermon he said;
Have we not legislature in which
apparently all are for the party and
none are for the state? Is this not the
spirit which has made Il possible for
q wandering Ishmaelite to hold up the
state in his endeavor to break his way

Not since the days Of John Wilkes

pirant TO high Office, and not since the
days of Sir Robert Walpole has de
bauchery been so rampant and defiant
as it is now and here. in Delaware;
yet Addicksism would receive its

tisan bigotry. Too long have party
