DRYDoCK DEWEY,S PROGRESS.
Naval Circles Relieved at Safe Passage
 Between Malta and Sicily.

The passage between Malta and Sicily is narrow and treacherous, and since the dry dock has gone through this safely the most dangerous part of the Mediterranean lies behind the great craft. It is expected that the $40 miles from Malta to the entrance of the Suez canal will be covered at the rate of about 100 miles a day, and, ac- cording to the naval calculations the Dewey should arrive at Port Said by April 10, if it does not encounter un- favorable weather

Deliver took the floor and in a brief speech devoted to defense of the right of senators to confer with the president charged that other senators had been in consultation with presidents of railroads.
 The intimation contained in the charge was resented by both MT. Bailey and MT. Foraker and they demanded the names of senators referred to- These MT. Deliver declined to give. put he justified his course in making the charge by saying that he and other senators wha had participated in the conference had been sneered at and rid iculed the discussion of last Tues day. The a.vowal of his motive brought about an explanation from MT Foraker and the incident ended pleasantly
 MT. Elkins has given notice Of a speech on the rate bill for Tomorrow and MT. Bailey for a speech on that subject Tuesday.

Indian Traits Change. - Ayarice
Ovcrcomes Superstitions as They
Niinglc With White Men.

The Indian of the southwest, as
soon as he comes in touch with the
white man, becomes mercenary, Is
the observation of Edward IL. Kemp,
the traveller and lecturer. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kemp are presenting an illus
trated lecture on the wilds OF the
west at the Orpheum this week and
many of their views show various
tribes OF Indians. Mr.. Kemp for
merly had six illustrated lectures but
five of them were destroyed In the
San Francisco earthquake.
THAT was loss from which
can never recover" said Mr.. Kemp
last night in talking Of it. 81 had
pictures that can not be duplicated,
as many of the Indian ceremonials
have been dropped and 1T would
bankrupt a rich man to pay Tor the
privilege of taking the views. When
| took them the Indians were not
mercenary and if you get them to
pose at ali or could steal a march on
them the pictures were yours for
the taking. Now they want $40 Tor
the privilege of entering a village
with camera and tips for every
pose. Formerly the Indians seemed
to think that the pictures had taken
part of their being away, as they did
not understand how they could be
entire with an image or them on
paper. Since they got to charging
for poses, they do not care whether
they are whole or not"

power at coal mines 100 miles dis

would be $4,000, 900, and that the loss
from the smoke nuisance in London
is $10,00O,000 year. The proposition
Is sound that the best way to suppress
smoke in city Is to keep 1t out.
