JEkL GUS GERMANS
 ABOUT OUR NAVY
Which Passed Kiel and Put In at
 Marseilles.

Berlin, April 1S.-The German press does not distinguish between the visit of the United States European squad ron to Marseilles and the programme planned for the United States North Atlantic squadron. on behalf of which the American government declined an invitation to visit Kiel during the com ing regatta there. Therefore some wonder is expressed as to why special honors are shown the French presi- dent by the American navy, imme- diately following the refusal of the German emperors request" One or two papers express themselves bitterly on the subject and say the Germans do not miss much in not having a sight of the American ships"

THE SAN DOMINICAN WAR.
Reports of the Killing or Unknown
 Foreign ConsulS.

St. Thomas, D. ". l., April 1S-A French steamer which touched at San Domingo, April 15, arrived here this morning. She repors that there mas been daily desultory lighting in the city. A sailor from an Italian warship was wounded in the engagement of Monday. President Vasquez was re ported to be without ammunition, but he is expected daily to receive some.
 The rebels have opened the jails and armed the criminals, are shooting in discriminatory and rendering life there unsafe. The steamer also brings a re- port that secretary of either the Dutch or Sanish consulate at San Domingo City had been killed. This re- port lacks confirmation, and it was impossible to ascertain to which con sulate the man belonged. French and German steamships have been un able to land their cargoes at San Dom ingo and have returned here to put their freight in warehouses. The Cibao district is quiet.

view to ultimately constructing it. Under that authority we continued the investigation Of the Salt river or Tonto basin site, and our surveying parties are now al work. I informed the sec retary that I wished to visit several of these localities for which was con- templated the construction of irrigation works, and first, the Salt River valley and the Tonto basin.

Arthur F. Davis. our civil engineer. whom all of you know; MT. Wisner. the consulting engineer, also a cement expert, and we also had an electrical engineer with a view to investigating questions con rected with the proposed water power at the dam.
 AN IDEAL DAM SITE.
 We found everything of the most favorable character. The bedrock, at A feet, is most satisfactory. The foun- dations are solid, and the abutting walls are as good as any engineer could ask for. We also found that the maps were correct in relation Q the area i-that could be cctered by water. and that dam built to height of 23o feet above the level of the stream bed would store all the water that would be apt to be available in any one year. The power proposition was pronounced by the engineer to be entirely feasible. and if this reservoir Is constructed l think that this will be one of the first things undertaken, to facilitate con- struction of the dam, the operation of the cement works, etc. We found an abundant supply of lime and an abun- dance of clay, and all the things neces- sary for the manufacture of hydraulic cement at the site. This will be a great economy, of course. as it will save the hauling of cement to the dam-

The attorney general has consistently and unalterably held that the decree enjoins the violation of a penal statute and that to mitigate or suspend 1t m any respect would amount to a license to continue to violate the law. The instruction to the United States attor- ney reflects on it's face that positive ness with which this view will ba maintained before the court, and the reported statement by counsel for de- fendants is beyond all the facts and proprieties of the case.

FLOUR AND WHEAT.
The Miller's Claim of an Unjust Dis
 crimination

Minneapolis, Minn., April 1S.-The four mill and wheat situation in Min neapolis and the northwest is more complex today than it has been since the shut down of the mills. The mill lers stick to their original explanation, an unjust discrimination on tariffs be- tween Duluth and Buffalo against flour and favOring wheat, which was the real cause of d big loss to them.
 Commission men are of the opinion that the shut down could not affect the Chicago "corner'' unless the millers are really anxious that all northwestern wheat possible be rushed to New York.
 The most reliable advices are that every four mill in the northwest, little and big. has ceased operations, pending instructions from the Minneapolis mil lers-

THE CONVICTION of AMES.

The conviction of ex-Mayor A. A.
Ames of Minneapolis of bribery is
victory for decency and honesty in
municipal government, To those at a
distance who had been following the
Ames case it seemed a foregone con-
clusion that the man must be convict
ed, the evidence against him was so
strong and direct; and yet in Mime
apolis there was doubt as to the out
come. During his career as Mayor,
Ames had built up a political machine
of much power, and it was thought the
politicians he had favored would be
able to save him from the consequences
of his criminality. But, in the face
of an aroused public sentiment, not
even the wire-pulling friends of the
former Mayor were able to save him.
He will probably have to serve a term
in the penitentiary.
For four terms Ames, a descendant of
the old New England family of that
name, was Mayor of Minneapolis. Al
most from the beginning of his first adj
ministration the city government was
an organization Of graft" From the
Mayor down to the humblest police
man there was a line of "grafters"
The people who honored Ames with
the management of their affairs were
looted. right and left. Vice and crime
were protected, and bribery became
common. The charge on which Ames
was convicted was that of receiving a
bride of $500. That. however, was only
one of many charges brought against
him. Whether other charges will be
pushed remains to be SEEN. If all that
might be successfully prosecuted were
brought up and pushed. the chances
are that Ames would be compelled to
spend the remainder of his days be-
hind prison bars.
When the man was brought to trial.

the evidence against him. his lawyers

SENSIBLE COMMENT.

About the most sensible comment
that has appeared in the public prints
on the remarkable expressions of con-
fdence in, and demonstrations of good
will for, Mr.. Cleveland are those of
Senator Proctor of Vermont. The Sem
ator, is a Republican, of course, but it
does not follow on that account
that his comments are not worth con-
sideration. In Washington a day oE
that Mr.. Cleveland is trying to secure
the nomination for himself. He seems
to be doing all he can to bring about
harmony in his party. He is acting
with dignity. and will no doubt be a
power in his party before the next
nominee of the Democrats is placed be-
fore the country"
Mr.. Cleveland has said nothing that
indicates that he is seeking to be the
presidential nominee of his party in
1904, Notwithstanding the efforts that
have been made to get some expression
from him on that point. No man knows
better than he does the sentiment that
exists against a third term, even
though it is not to follow the second
Immediately. He also knows that there
is a strong element in the party that
would never accept him as the party's
standard bearer. His nomination
would mean that the factions would
be forced farther apart than they are
now.
On the other hand Mr.. Cleveland is
gaining such a hold upon the party
that he is certain to be invaluable as
a peace maker, as a harmonizer of
the factions. Men who would not sup
port him for the presidency would
listen to his advice when offered for
the purpose of bringing the factions
of the party together.
At present Mr.. Cleveland is the sub
ject of more comment than any other
man in the country. The newspapers
of both political parties are discussing
him from many points of view. The
fact that so much attention is being
given to him simply because he was
given such a hearty welcome at St.
Louis, is ground for thinking that he
will not be kept so prominently before
the public very long. The people are
surprised to find that after being so
bitterly attacked and charged with hav-
ing wrecked his party he holds
so high a place in the esteem of
his fellow citizens, and particularly the
members of his party, and they are
showing their appreciation of him as a
citizen.

Folk of st. Louis, the man who has
been after the councilmanic thieves
in that city, as a good candidate FOR
President on the Democratic ticket.
Joe is not a grandstand player, but

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
''If the Southern Educational Board
could persuade the people to think less
about machine politics and more about
educational systems it would be doing
this section a great benefit. Such a
campaign, to be effective must be thor

II should not be overlooked that he has

are at an end. The price OF coal is
arbitrarily fixed by one group OF men,

ought 70 be possible to work backward
and discover whether the arbitrary
price named by them is or is not ex-
cessive."

A story of ToIstox.

An old friend of Count Leo Tolstoy,
writing to the Novoe Vremya, relates
an amusing incident which occurred in
the novelist's recent visit to the Cri-
mea. A rich American arrived in his
yacht, accompanied by a party of
friends, and asked permission to see
the great Russian, who was ill, prom
ising that they would be content with
a glimpse and would not trouble him
with talk. Leave was granted. Toll
stoy sat upon his balcony, like a
Buddhist IDOL" as he said, and the
whole party of Americans defiled slow
ly and silently before him, taking their
gaze as they passed. One lady, how
ever, refused to be bound by the con-
tract. She stood still for a minute,
and shouted, Leo Tolstoy, Leo Tolstoy,
all your noble writings have had pro-
found influence upon my life, but the
one which has taught me the most is
