SCHURZ AND MACARTHUR.
Two Whole-souIed Americans.

Editor National Tribune: There haV,
lately passed away two grand characters
of the civil war / refer to Carl Schurz
and Gen. Macarthur. Carl Schurz was
a man Of strong mind and great fnde-
pendence Of thought and action. Com
ing from Germany, he became an Amer
lean in the true sense Of the term, with
the German vigor and strength to help
him on. His early life gave him small
opportunity to get up in the world, yet
he arose superior to all obstacles and
carved out his great destiny. He was
not hampered by the opinions and ideas
OF those with whom he was associated,
but took matters I'm his own hands.
thought and acted on the strength of
his own personal convictions. Lake the
immortal Garfield, he was a scholar.
statesman and soldier, rising above
every obstacle and hewfng his way to
fame and glory. No foreign country
could have given him the golden op-
portunity that he found on our shores.
His influence over his German COM
peers was great, and no doubt ala much
to Ameffcanize them. We owe Ger
many debt for giving birth to such .
man.
Gen. John Macarthur was Scotch
man. but, like Carl Schurz became q
whole-souled American and infused his
strong, honest Scotch strength Of char
acter into all that he ever undertook.
I see his noble figure yet as he role
along the line Of our division, wearing
a Scotch cap and giving cordial greet
ing to every line officer as he passed.
He was the true soldier. Had the war
lasted longer he would have arisen
much higher than a division command
er. When the war ended he sheathed
his sword and steadfastly pursued the
vocations of peace. and an intimate per-
sonal acquaintance Informed me that he
was man in business affairs OF strong
character and honesty.
/ love to lay these tributes on the
graves Of these two comrades of the
civil war. Our lines are becoming more
ragged and broken and the breaches In
them are becoming wider. Where Is
the long line that stood almost "shoul-
der to shoulder, elbows touching in
April, 1865? All, the Death Angel has
been passing swiftly along the rear OF
the line. tapping one and another on
the shoulder and saying, 1T 10 time for
you to co." and the solemn summons
have been obeyed until only a few are

Recent Experiments In the Preservation
Of Meat.

In report by the Italian Minister Of
Agriculture on the subject of refriger-
ating in Italy, Mancini gives some in
teresting results obtained by the Craveri
process for preserving meat, a process
which was much discussed some months
ago, but Of which a more definite idea
can now be formed, since a series Of
the direction Of a number Of university
professors.
The Crayeri method would seem to
have solved the problem hitherto I'M

THE DRY DOCK DEWEY.
Success Crowns q Great Undertaking.

Having tourneyed $4,000 miles
about half the circumference of the
earth-the dry dock Dewey reached
Olangapo. in the Philippine Islands,
July 10, just 1913 days after sailing from
Solomon's Island, Chesapeake Bay, hav-
ing maintained an average speed of 100
miles day while in motion.
The Dewey will be stationed at Subig
bay, which will naturally become the
naval base of the United States in Phil
ippine waters. The drydock Is capable
or accommodating the largest warships
In the Navy. and Is of peculiar value to
the fleet. inasmuch as 1t dispenses with
the long voyage hitherto necessary to
reach a repair station, and places the
squadron centering upon the islands in
an Infinitely stronger position for Of
Tense and defense.
Twice the dry dock was in serious
danger. Late in February it struck a
storm off the Canaries, and the hawsers
connecting 1t with the towing fleet were
broken, allowing the great hulk to go
adrift
Again. in the Mediterranean, not far
from Malta, early in April, the dock
broke loose and fioundered about for
short time
She was accompanied by the GOLFERS
Cesar and Brutus. the tug Potomac and
the refrigerating ship Glacier. The Po-
tomac left the Dewey at Suez, and the
other three ships made up the docks
escort as far as Singapore, where the
Wampatuck Joined the fleet.
After leaving Solomon's Island, on
Dec. %. 1905. the Dewey was first sight
ed off the Bermudas on Jan. 5, 1906.
1t reached Las Palmas Canary Islands,
on Feb. %, and had to remain there un-
til March 18, because Of damage done
by the storm, which separated the dock
from it's escort.
Sighted off Gibraltar on March Is, the
dock passed Malta on April 4. 1t reached
Port Said on April IS, and was delayed
several days in the Suez Canal by winds,
which forced 1T against the sides of the
canal and necessitated halt.
1t sailed from Suez on May 3. and
passed Colombo on June 5. Sabang
was passed June Is. and eight days later
Singapore was reached. The entire fleet
stopped there, and then sailed for the
