TOGO'S VICTORY IN THE FAR EAST
Modern Sea Fights Are Now Decided
by BattIeships and Large Caliber
Ordnance at Great Ranges,
as on Sea of Japan.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Admiral
George Dewey, who has just returned
from a summer spent in Hot Springs,
Va, speaking upon the conclusion of
peace between Russia and Japan and
the lessons taught by the war to the
American navy, said:
Like every other American, 1 am
extremely pleased with the conclusion
of peace between Russia and Japan.
l know it must have been a very anx.
ious summer for the president, for he
had this matter of bringing the par
ties together upon his mind the whole
time, and, having once entered upon
the task, he is man who would per.
sist until he succeeded.
II believe it was an excellent thing
that Japan failed to obtain that cash
indemnify mean that it was an ex.
cellent thing for her as we'll as for the
rest of the powers. You know we
have an interest in the orient greater
than that of any power on earth.
IF Japan had obtained the cash in
demnity she probably would have de
voted il to increasing her naval pow
er and would have become topheavy
in that RESPECT. Now she will build
up on solid lines, economize, in order
to make her resources meet her wal
expenses. and In that way she will be
far better of"
Admiral Dewey explained that he
meant the balance Of power in the Ori
ent was still undisturbed, even by ia
pans great victories.
The bringing about Of peace by tbs
president" the admiral continued, "has
increased the confidence Of other ma
tons in the United States. About two
months before the beginning Of tbs
war with Spain was talking I'm Hong
kong with Prince Henry Of Prussia
He told me. The powers will never al
low the United States to annex Cuba.
I assured him the United States neyel
had any idea Of annexing Cuba told
him I had never even heard a sug
gestion Of such a thing. and / did moi
believe any one In the United States
in politics or out Of il, had any suci
intention.
He listened to me, but / could SEQ
he did not believe that to be the fact
The giving over Of Cuba to the Gu
bans was the best guarantee TO tht
world Of the honesty Of our intentions
that we could ever give. Now tbs
powers believe US to be disinteresfed
in every proposition we may make"
what are the lessons the American
navy has learned from the war; Ad
nliral Dewey was asked
More big ships. more big guns and

The American navy needs more thar

WOMAN'S FINANCIAL MIND.
The Readiness of Large Sums of Money
She Seems Unable to Grasp.

The Readiness of Large Sums OF Money
She Seems Unable to Grasp.
"The reason women rarely make a
success as financiers Is that they have
absolutely no conception of money in
bulk" said well known broker of this
city, in discussing this question re-
Gently. I'VE have examples of it ev-
cry day. We have few women pa
irons, but we don't like them. guess
you'll find that chivalry dies out when
1t comes to a question Of taking care
of women's money for them.
Men think of large sums of money
In the abstract; women only in the
concrete. If you tell woman she
will profit $4,000 in certain deal
she thinks you are honest and not try
ing to get ahead of her. If you tell
her there's going to be a big coup Of
100000 or so she looks at you in
childlike bewilderment. Her expert
ence does not give her any clue to the
possibilities of this sum Of money.
She does not realize how much tangl-
bic value it represents.
any! My! That seems an awful
big sum of money said one particu-
larly unsophisticated woman, who had
made a successful deal through acct
dent rather than design. Gould I live
comfortably on that for the Eest Of my
life? How much would my income be
a year, say, without touching the prin-
cipal?
"a woman is afraid to deal with
money in large sums unless she hap
pens to be trained to It. She can't, in
her minds eye, see how many houses
or rents or school bills it will pay for.
When she hears Of large sum OF
money she always wants to know
how much it's going to buy her, how
it is going to look in Some concrete
form like houses, or, dresses or trips
abroad. AS a simple quantity to fig
ure interest on she can't realize IT.

itate the commerce of the country,
instead Of making the necessary APP
propriatlons and cutting down the TAR
if duties on many articles, thereby
letting in more importarions and get
ting the necessary revenue to fill the
hole in the treasury. 1t looks as
though they are also going to stick
another tax on beer and coffee to help
in the filling process. That looks now
to be the reactionary and stand-pat
program of the republican leaders.

company of Spearfish, S. D., is the sue
cessful bidder for the purchase of ap-
proximately 100000 feet of insect infested

The timber is western yellow pine. to which
bark beetles have done such great damage
that a large percentage of the trees to be
cut is already dead and the remainder can
live but year or two longer Sales OF
this kind besides bringing returns from
timber which would otherwise go to waste
in the forest. will doubtless result in rid
ding the forest in a large measure of the
destructive bark beetles. AS soon as the
contract for logging. which has already
been drawn up by the foSest service. Is
signed by the company and a bond has
been filed the removal of timber will be
begun.

LACK OF MORAL PRINCIPLE
President Butler OF Columbia Unit
versity MRker Diagnosis Of
Trouble IN America.

NEW YORK. Sept 97.-Caustic comment
on some modern business methods as re-
vealed by recent andf current Investigations
of quasi public financial institutions was
made by President Nicholas Murray But
ler in his address OF welcome to the stu
dents at the opening Of the college year
at Columbia university today. Just now
the American people are receiving some
painful lessons in practical ethics" he
said. Put bluntly, the situation which
confronts Americans today Is due to lack
Of moral principle. New statutes may be
needed. but statutes will not put moral
principle where It does not exist. The
greed for gain and the greed for power has
blinded men to the distinction between
right and wrong. Both among business
men and at the bar are to be found ad-
vsers counted shrewd and successful, who
have substituted the penal code for the
moral law as the standard OF conduct
Right and wrong have given way to the
subtler distinction between legal. not-ille-
gal and illegal. or better. perhaps. between
honest. law-honest and dishonest. This
new triumph of mind over morals is bad
enough in itself, but when in addition its
exponents secure material gain and pro-
fessional prosperity it becomes a menace
to our integrity as a people"
The honorary degree OF doctors of laws
was conferred by Columbia university to-
day on Baron Komura and sergius witte.
the senior peace plenipotentiaries Of Japan
and Russia.
Former Mayor Seth Low, in presenting
the names of Baron Komura and NJ. witte.
said:
II is fitting that university should be-
stow its honors on men who have brought
about peace between nations; for uni
versity stands for the triumph of ideas
and ideas that ennoole flourish most In an
atmosphere OF peace. The soil of our coun-
try has acquired a new sacredness for us
and may we not hope for all men, because
on IL, in the city of Portsmouth the most
colossal war Of moderh times has been
brought to an honorable end.
In accepting the degree both Baron
Komura and NJ. witte sent letters to Presi.
dent Butler, thanking him for the honor
conferred.
