DEWEY. DECLINES HONOR.
Says Command oe Fleet Would Over
tax His STRENGTH.

Admiral Dewey deprecates the move
ment on foot to have him assigned to
the command of the United States At
lantic fleet during the coming Hudson
Fulton celebration. He says his health
will not permit him to undergo the con-
slant official and social demands that
such an assignment would entail.
If Admiral Dewey were assigned to the
command of the Atlantic fleet he would
be the senior naval officer at the celebra-
ton. and that was the object sought to be
accomplished.
The admiral had the following to say
today regarding the matter:
Il have not been invited to attend the
HudsOn-Fulton celebration as commander
of the Atlantic fleet. The President has
not communicated with me on the sub
ject, and i do not expect that he will.
Even should / receive an invitation
should be compelled to decline because my
health would not permit me to go through
nine strenuous days of festivities and en-
tertaining 1t would mean constant ap-
pearance in uniform with heavy epaulettes
and sword, and banqueting every night,

AMERICAN CORN POPULAR.
Used More Than Any Other in
Manufacture of Scotch Whisky.

American corn is used more extensively
than that Of any other country in the
manufacture of Scotch whisky when the
price is reasonable. Consul j. y. McCunn
OF Glasgow received a communication
from the most extensive users of Ameri-
can corn in Scotland, in which they esti-
mate the total consumption of corn used
in their country in the manufacture of
whisky to be about 100000 quarters of
$50 pounds each.
1t is not to be understood. they say.
that this total comes wholly from North
America, because the price of the latter
corn is now so high that large quaint
ties Of European and Plata corn are be-
ing imported
However. so far as this company is
concerned" they continue, 1--WE always
use the American quality when the price
is suitable
During the year 1903 the total imports
of Scotch whisky into the United States
amounted to $1,000 800, of which S6)6, GJ
worth came from the consular district OF
Glasgow.

Favors Separate Schools for Negroes

In the hope of getting several measures through the legislature that will result in certain radical changes in the existing school laws, President Kendrick c. Babcock of the territorial university; Professor Scudder, principal of the Tempe school; Professor J. D. Loper of the Mesa school, and Superintendent Lutz of the Douglas public schools were in Phoenix this week and conferred with representatives of the Phoenix schools concerning what they believe would be desir- able alternatives in the present laws regulating the conduct of the territorial public schools.
 "There are several matters of importance which will be consid- ered," said MT. Lutz. "The mos, important one, to my mind, is an amendment of the law so that there will remain no doubt as to the authority of school trustees to provide separate schools for colored children. The trustees in Douglas have taken this action, but there are those who claim this act was not warranted by any law now on the statute books.
 Another matter will be to con- sider a proposed law by which territorial school funds will be apportioned to the high school dis
