EVANS WILL COMMAND.
Bob" to Take %BattIeships
to the Pacific,

Washington, July "Details of the
vast movement of the Atlantic feet
to Pacific waters have been theoret-
ically worked out weeks in advance
by the naval general board. But these
details are necessarily subject to con-
slant change resulting from the with
drawal of battleships from active
commission on account of having been
declared ~antiquated or In need of re
pairs and the substitution of other
ships just going into commission and
fresh from the builders hands. In
the opinion of officials here the only
route feasible for the big ships is by
way of the straits of Magellan, a trip
of $4,000 miles. Allowing a reason
able time for coaling en- route the At
lantic fleet can make the passage
from New York to San Francisco in
less than sixty days.
1t is conceded that Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans will command the
feet in this great movement. He al
ready has had an extended period Of
sea service in command rank and it
is known by his friends that he would
like to wind up his active career by
safely conducting around the Amer
lean continent the greatest fleet. Of
warships ever gotten together.
Admiral Evans will, 1t is expected,
start out with sixteen battleships, be-
sides twenty Golfers, which will move
more or less independently and, In
deed, will precede him considerably.
The armored cruisers Washington and
Tennessee, which are now in French
waters, are under orders to return to
the United States and after reftting to
proceed to the Pacific coast to form a
part Of an armored cruiser squadron
to be assembled there.

Grows Winter Wheat.

That winter wheat successfully a
be grown in North Dakota has been
demonstrated by Frederick Nichols,
who has a small field of the grain on
his farm near Ypsilanti. The grain
was seeded last August and the crop
now is the most promising as to ad-
vancement and prospective yield Of
any in the vicinity. Specimens brought
to jamestown show the stalks well
headed out and of good length. The
held probably will be the first wheat
cut In the county.

IN INTEREST OF PEACE
Admiral Dewey Discusses Trans
fer Of Atlantic Squadron.
DOES NOT EXPECT TROUBLE
But if by Any Chance We Should Be-
come Involved 1t Is Well to Be
+ Prepared for 1t.

New York, July s.-Admiral Dewey,
who is sojourning for the summer at
Riohfield Springs, N. Y, is quoted in
an interview published in the Amer
ican, as saying in regard to the trans
Ter Of the battleship feet to the Pa
oifc:
ut is a pity we have not ships
enough to keep powerful fleets in both
oceans. but since we have not 1t seems
that in the interest of peace 1t is best
at this time hat our fleet should be
in the Pacific.
This cruiser transfer, or whatever
you like to call it, is a mission of
peace. l do not think it likely that
this country will become seriously in
volyed with any power. But IL trouble
should come by any chance it is we'll
to, be fully prepared for it.
ut Is necessary for us to hold the
balance of sea power on the Pacific.
The defenses on that coast are not up
TO the standard of the Atlantic. That
the nation that has this power con
tIols the situation was proven in our
Var with Spain.
"Thege were $4,000 Spanish SOL
digrs on the island when Cervera's
Hi9Bst started out Of the harbor of San
3aIAgso de CUBA. With the sinking of
AAaASiaSsssaWatS TIE war practically .eided.

~ bsigs aAN has such Vast inserHal re-
s6ulfaasssSs that it cannot be b6ttled up
assSTsWslTis. TIE Spaniards, but the neces-
Sfty fol DppoMer on the seas remains"
In A~scussing the possibility of the
fleet, gpips to the Philippines the ad-
mirRl said:
Philippine Climate Bad.
II would say that unless the danger
was. most imminent it would not be ad-
yiARblle TO concentrate a large feet
With hundreds of officers and thou
anknds Of men in Philippine waters.
The climate is not right. as 1 know
3fom personal experience.
~ believe n of the reasons we
had such an easy victory over the
Spaniards was that they had been so
long in that e%nervating climate. I am
certain that we would not have fought
so we'll when we left as when we en-
tered.
"An enemy might take the Philip
pines and Hawaii, but as soon as we
met them on the sea they would have
to give them up. The very presence
of our sea force in the Pacific will
serve every purpose"
Admiral Dewey said there should be
no trouble in taking the fleet around
the Horn into the Pacific. The battle
ships, he said, should have no more
difficulty than a ferry has in crossing
to Hoboken. 1t was merely a ques-
ton of coal and a question of dollars.
So far as leaving the Atlantic coast
unprotected by the transfer of the
fleet Admiral Dewey said there was
nothing to fear. There were no en-
emies to threaten the Atlantic coast,
he said, and even If there were the
army could take care of them. The
admiral said the coast d~efenses there
are in excellent shape.

Aycock for President.

At a banquet in Chattanooga
one night last week Editor John
Temple Graves suggested in a
speech that Mr.. Bryan nominate
Mr.. Roosevelt for a third term.
There will be no need to nomi-
nate Mr.. Roosevelt or any one
else If the South will assert her
rights and nominate Chas, B. Ay-
cock, of North Carolina, and put
his campaign in the hands of
Mr., Simmons, Of the same state.
Mr.. Aycock is a bigger and bet
ter man than Mr.. Roosevelt or
any other republican in this re-
public, without the inconsistency
or impulsiveness of the present
occupant of the White House.
His sterling qualities and silvery
oratory would win many votes all
over this country, aid votes are
what the Democrats need in a
presidential election.-Gaffn e y,
