Congressman Livingston of Georgia says j, , ■ks Dewey is too late going in the game, for there is no doubt about Bryan’s nomination, and the Republicans are set on SI - Kink y. He said: “McKinley is responsible for ail the is fU,f which the Republican party stands far. and the Republicans will have to nominate him or else the party will go to pieces: end ns for Bryan, he cannot be defeated, and I regard him as the inevita ble candidate of the Democrats and Pop ulists. It is probable that he may ran on 'he independent or what is known as the People's party ticket, and if he does, he will hurt someone, and I ttaink it will be McKinley. It is remarkable that he does not say on which ticket he should like to ho placed, which wou.’d lead peo ple to think that he is going to run inde pendent." His ( bailees Seem Slim. The prediction is freely made that when Admiral Dewey is brought to a realization of the full extent of his mis take. th blow will be very serious and perhaps fatal. The Admiral is an old rr.un .m l there are many indications that the strain which has been upon him has undermined his constitution. That he w:H r.ot prove a factor in the convention of eith. r of the great parties, is certain. There never has been any chance of his figuring in the Democratic Convention, for lie is not a Democrat. And despite the terrible mistake which 'McKinley has a 1 lowed his party to make in this Porto Rican matter, there is no possible ques tion . f the President’s renominution by his party. A- for the possibility of an independent caii'lci.Hc cutting any figure at all, in the c nt.iig campaign, no reasonable person it> r credits such an outcome for a mo ment. l-'LAG IS DEWEY’S PLATFORM. On tlie Silver Question He Says lie Is a Vermonter. New York, April 4.—The Brooklyn Ea gles' Washington dispatch on Admiral Dewey's announcement of his candidacy, quotes the Admiral as follows: "I r.m in the position of an officer, wait ing to carry out the orders of the public. The editorial m Monday's Brooklyn Eagle vas th means of causing me to come out a this time. It forced the issue and dl r' etc) me to let the public know where I stood." Admiral Dewey was then asked to out lay the platform on which he would run and whether he would: seek the nomina tion from the Democratic or Republican party. residents,” he replied, "do not make Putiurms; they are formed by the people.

Washington, April 4.—Admiral Dewey to night expressed himself as very muc.fi gratified over the manner jn which his announcement to he a candidate for the presidency had been received by his friends. His manner likewise indicated that fact, as he chatted with a reporter of the As sociated Press at his home this afternoon. Many telegrams have *come to him to day, particularly from the Souih and some also from the far West, indorsing his course and slating that he will re ceive the support of the signers in the campaign which he will make. The Admiral was in excellent humor and talked interestingly of a number of things in connexion with his proposed candi dacy, though concerning most questions asked him he requested that nothing be said at this time, as in due time he would make a statement to the public on the subject. “Why is it, Admiral Dewey, that you have decided to become a candidate for the presidency?” he was asked. “Really, on lhat point,” he answered, “there is nothing to add to what has al ready been printed on the subject. If the American people want me lo he their can didate for this high office I shall gladly serve them. My determination to aspire to it was influenced by many friends w’ho have written letters suggesting that I should be a candidate. These communica tions have come from all over the coun try, some from New York, a large num ber from the South, and some from the Pacific coast. It was in response to these suggestions that I haye taken the course announced. Since the announcement was made I have received a number of tele grams from my friends commending the action I have taken and promising me their support. I am deeply gratified to them for their kindness. These are the considerations which have urged me to change my mind from the original state ment I made on my i return from Manila that 1 would not be a candidate for the office.” Sn>* Little of His Plan*. "Now, tell me something about your plans for the future,” suggested the re porter. “Oil that point I am not yet prepared to make any statement,” answered the Ad miral. “I am consulting with my friends as to the course to be pursued. When the proper lime arrivee I will make a state ment of my intentions as to the future, and this will be very soon. Pending that I prefer not to say anything for publica tion regarding them.” “Will the announcement of your can didacy for the presidency make any change in the plans for your trip to Chi cago and other Western cities?” “Not at all. The dbrdinl invitations which I have received from those cities to visit them during the coming spring and which I have accepted, I expect to fulfill. The assurances of regard convey ed by them are very gratifying to me, and I certainly want to show the people that I appreciate 4heir kindness.” Lius Decided Opinion*. Admiral Dewey has some very decided opinions on matters of public moment, and while expressing them in private, pre fers not to make any public announce ment of them at this time. Platforms for parties, he believes, are. not made by candidates for the high office of President. In connection with his determination to run for the office the Admiral dwells with much pleasure and gratification on the warmth of the receptions that he has everywhere received in his various trips throughout the country, including the South, particularly, and on numerous per sonal declarations that the people wanted him for President. Much comment has been indulged in to-day by the public as to which of the great podtical parties the Admiral will ally himself with, and from whom he ex pects to receive tho nomination for the presidency. To questions bearing on this subject, he declares that he prefers not to make any statement at this time. To those who have talked with him privately on the subject, however, and who are fully ooquointed with his views, ii is evident that, he does not expert a nomination to come from the Republican party. The Admiral, his friends say, has very decided views on the question of expan sion, on tha* of a tariff for Porto Rico and others of great public interest, but declined politely to-nlgln to indicate them on the ,plra that this is not the proper time for that. W ill Stay in the ,!Snvy. The possibility of the Admiral's nomi nation has suggested the query as to whether he would retain his position on the active list of the navy during the compaign w’hich would follow’. The Ad miral is disinclined to discuss this mat ter in advance of any nomination, but be lieves that can be properly determined, should the occasion arise. There is no reason, he feels, w’hy he should not con tinue in the navy pending the election, as a nomination does not necessarily mean an election. These are known to be bis views on this subject, and he would con sider it entirely proper to remain in the navy, even though he engaged in the ac tivities of a heated political campaign. “What will your platform be?” next to that as to which party he expected to he Identified with, probably wns the m<vt frequent quest ion put to the Admiral bv his inquirers # to-dny. To these, however, he was non-committal, and in a good-na tured way declined to make known his views at this time.

New York, April 4.—A Washington dis patch to the Evening Telegram says: “It has developed that the announce ment of Admiral Dewey’Sv candidacy is a part o£ a well laid plan of Eastern Dem ocrats to head off Mr. Bryants nomina tion.” The Evening Telegram’s dispatch con tinues: “The Admiral will not admit Chat there is any organize ion-behind his candidacy, or state whether he would like the Re publican or the Democratic nomination. He told me to-day that ne was in the hands of the American people, and was as willing to obey orders from them, as he had been from his superiors in the navy. He said: v “ ‘I have reason to believe that there is a popu’ar demand for my nomination. 1 decline to say whether 1 am a Democrat cr a Repi hii an “ ‘I want to be the people’s candidate. 1 fully realize that in announcing my wil lingness to become a candidate my trou bles are beginning, but a man who has the interest of his country at heart cannot es cape his share of them, and I am willing to risk all that may come to mo. “ ‘Prom kvery stat • in the Union and from a’l classes of the people 1 have re ceived grat fying evidence of a desire for my nominat on.’ ” WHAT EX-GOV. STONE THINKS. Hi* Views of Dewey n* a I’residentnl Possibility. St. Louis, April 4.—Ex-Gov. W. J. Stone, when asked what he thought of the can didacy of Admiral Dewey for the presi dential nomination said: “When the great Admiral returned to America fresh from his triumphs at Ma nila, he was reported, and I infer correct ly, as he has never denied the report, as saying that he did not possess the qualitM cations necessary for the office of the President cf the United States; that his entire life had been devoted to the navy and naval affairs, and his knowledge of the great public questions, requiring the test statesmanship'always, was so meagre he could not consider the presidency for a moment. “I am not advised which nomination the Admiral will seek—the Republican or the Democratic. If the Republican, I <hink he W’ould give Mr. McKinley a very good race, and I w’ould enjoy watch ing it immensely from the grand stand. If Admiral Dewey aspires to the Demo cratic nomination I should like to know what his opinions are on the public ques tions. I admire him immensely as a great hero, but in my opinion more is needed in a President than the ability to fight a successful battle on the seas, and I shall have to hear from Admiral Dew-ey on questions of statesmanship before be ing ready to admit that the hero of Ma nila w r ould be a safe man to trust with the reins of the government.” WILL NOT NOMINATE DEWEY. A Texas National Committeeman’* View of the Case. Paris, Tex., April 4.—Hon. James G. Dudley of this city, the Texas member of the National Democratic Executive Com mittee, in answer to a telegram asking his opinion in regard to Admiral Dewey’s candidacy for the pre?kfc*ncy, replied as follows: “Admiral Dewey will not be nominated by the Democratic party. The lesson learned by the nomination of Horace Greeley is still remembered. Nor do I be lieve that he will be nominated by the Republican party. This is no time for military or naval heroes. Gen. Scott's race for the presidency might be con sulted with some profit. If Bryan cannot beat McKinley this year he cannot be beaten for the presidency.” DEMOCRATS ARE FOR BRYAN. Dewey’s Announcement Cats No Fig ure in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa., April 4—National Committeeman James M. Guffey, the load er of the Pennsylvania Democracy, to night made the following statement: “The Democrats of Pennsylvania ar< for Bryan beyond doubt or question. Th Democratic State Convention to-morrow will instruct to this effect. The announce ment of Admiral Dewey’s candidacy wii; have no effect whatever so far as the Democrats of this state are concerned.” lirynn Will He Indorsed. Harrisburg. Pa.. April 4—Col. W.

Cleveland Says Nothing. Princeton, N. J.. April 4.—Ex-President Cleveland, when questioned to-night rel ative to the announcement that Admiral Dew r ey has signified his intention of be coming a candidate for President, sail that he did not care to say anything re garding It. Klryun Would Not Discus* It. Portland, Ore.. April 4.—When asked to night for an opinion on the candidacy of Admiral Dewey for the presidency, Ooi. W. J.

From the Sante Fe New Mexican. It is riot only im Santa Fe county where the ancient dwellings are found, but in San Juan their exist wonderful remains of the early dwellers. About a mile west of the county town of Aztec on a m* sa now un der cultivation ere found the fallen or pa - dally standing walls of a structure which, presents features of unusual interest. The mound of debris which has been made from the fallen walls in quite twenty-live feet above the general level, and oyt of the heap wails yet standing rise in their original position to a further hight of thirty feet. The lower rooms can now be reacned only through a passageway that has been cut through the second story, and can be examined only by the aid of artificial light. They vary from (1 by 10 to 10 by 16 feet at the base and are 10 feet in hight. The ground walls are three and one-half feet in thickness, and the facings of all outer and inner walls are made of dressed stone of uniform thickness. While shape 1 without the aid of metal too.s.they present a very uniform appearance, and >he amount of labor required to dress them with implements of stone attests the skill and patience of the builders. The many thousands of tons of rock were brougnt by human labor from a quarry two mile* distant. Some attempt'was madeto break joints in the different courses, and, doubt less for artistic effect, alternate layers of Etone, not more than one inch in thickness, were frequently used in the walls. The builder evidently knew the use of the plumb line, for the standing walls are veritacle, but they were ignorant of the principles of bonding at point of wall in tersections, for each cross wall Is built to, but nor into, the wall if meets at the true right angle. They evidently were not fa miliar with the use of lime, for all mortar was made from a deposit of red clay, about one-half mile distant, which con tains a large amount of pyroxide of iron and minute infusioriae of marine deposit, which furnishes a mortar, when protected from the weather, almost as hard as ce ment. In these dry and now underground rooms this mortar has become almost as hard as the stone itself, but in the outer walls the centuries of storms and sand laden yinds have worn it away to a depth of about two inches. Passage to the several rooms was made through doorways of uniform width of three feet, varying from four to five feet in hight, and so far as known all en trance was first made from the court or quadrangular area embraced within the outer walls. Light and ventilation were secured to the outer tier of rooms by open ings, usually eight by twelve inches in size, w’hich are located at a uniform dis tance of six feet from the clay floors. In ail places where irergular joints oc rur the mortar is tilled with countless numbers of flakes of stone, perhaps not more than one-eighth of an inch in thick ness. The mortar was placed with the hand, as is apparent from the palm and linger prints. All dividing walls were carried from the base through the upper stories, thus making roenu* in tiers of uniform size. As the several stories were completed an offset of about four inches was made, and from the receding thick ness of the three stories now’ standing the building was evidently seven stories in hight. While many of the rooms bear no evi dence of lire, others are blackened with smoke, and the fireplaces in the angles are connected with plastered flues that # xtend upright through the several stories. • '! A puzzling qnei-t on arises as to how or where they procured the. logs that sup port the several floors. They resemble red spruce, but that is not now found nearer than 100 miles distant on the higher mountains .it (he head of the Ani mas river, and, if procured, could have been brought down only by being floated on that stream. One log, which now In part supports the floor of three rooms, is forty-two feet in length, with a differ ence of but two inches in diameter at either end. Some years ago a log was removed from the ruins that wae sixty-four feat in length, having a diameter of eight and eleven inches at the extreme ends. No red spruce now growing in the forest maintains its size to this degree. All sup porting beams were cut In the spring, for they are free from bhrk. and bear no marks of tools except at the ends, w’here with stone ax>s they were rut off as evenly as can be done with the modern steel hx, This may be n hard statement to believe, but,the logs are here to apeak for themselves, in the absence of their former owners, and all can see who will. So enduring and great is the strength of this timber that now, after centuries of use, where it has- been protected from moisture, it is apparently as sound as when first cut, and the two logs that span each room n-*w support a deposit of from ten to fifteen feet of rock and mor tar that has fallen from former walls. In other rooms through the open door ways can be seen the broken and battered beams and poles that have been crushed by the great weight of fallen debris, writes Cecil A. Deane. At right angle* to the beams I* laid a tier of small poles about three Inches In diameter, and ulap free from bark. On j these is a layer of cedar splints, and above them a layer ot cedar bark, which in turn is covered with a deposit of clay mortar about four inches in thickness, which forms the floor proper. About fifty i*t oms in the lower and now und rground sterv have been opened. The number so far as investigations have been made indicates a total of about 100 rooms, or 700 in the building before its destruc tion began. A plan of the ground story was made by Prof. W. K. Moorehead, president of the Archaeological Society, of Columbus, 0., who with a party of as sistants passed two weeks here In 1892 in making a careful survey of the ruins. His time d.d not admit of examination of the east or remaining side of the quadrangle. The mounds of debris there ate of less hight, and, unlike the sandstone rock used in the walls of the three sides, wra ter-w’orn boulders, taken from the river bed, Were put in place. The walls w’ero probably not more than two stories in hUht. The eight council chambers and places w’here their mystic ceremonies were ob served are faced w’ith cut stone, and the depressions are now about eight feet in depth, although doubtless partially filled .above their former bottom. The archaekgical treasures that may bo found in the many sealed rooms are pure ly a matter cf conjecture. That many rel ies will be recovered if they are opened may be expected from the fact that in those opened by the Boston party four teen skeletons and mummies were found in one room, and from other rooms two w agon loads of vases, jars, pitchers, bowls and other articles of domestic life were secured and removed. A few nundrtd feet to the east of this large ruin is another almost as large, as is proved by the area covered by the de bris of fallen walls. It bears evidence of still greater antiquity, and but isolated portions of the stone walls appear above the surface. The timbers where exposed are greatly decayed, and the general sur face of the mounds is broken into numer ous depressions where the once support ing timbers have been crushed by the weight of fallen walls. From the size of the few’ rooms that can be entered it Is inferred that there were seventy-five rooms in the first story, but how many stories there w'ere originally in the build ing cannot now be determined. At a distance of about 403 feet from the large ruin is situated an ancient reser voir covering about one acre, and now in use. It was doubtless used as a storage of water for domestic purposes by the oc cupants cf the tw’o large pueblos, and by those who lived in the many smaller hous * s whose ruins now dot the surface in all and rictions from the greater ruins. It was supp led by ad teb which received Its water ffom the river at a point about four miles above the reservoir, and traces of the ditch, which w’as about tw’enty feet wide on the bottom, can yet be seen to a distance of twenty-five miles below this point. COCOA PALM’S MANY USES. From It Fill pi non Get Food, Drink. Shelter, Ropes, llroomn mid Sonp. From the Journal of the Society of Arts. There are several speck s of cocoa palms growing in the Philippine archipelago, but the ordinary cocoanut tree (Cocos nuci fera) is the most important. The Indians make use of It in a good many ways, bur. only the principal ones need bo enu merated. The kernel of the nut they use for food, while the liquid the shell contains make* a refreshing drink. If allowed to stand for some time this liquid forms a very agree able milky juice, that is relished not only by the natives, but by European® as well. After ihis Juice as coagulated it is mixed with sugar and made into bonbons, known as cocoa sugar, and also into various other delicacies. According to a recent report of the United States de|>artm-ent of agriculture, by tapping the central bud that crown® the cocoanut a kind of wine called tub;i, of on agreeable pungent taste, is procured. This tuba, allowed to ferment, pro duces vinegar, and when distilled a kind of brandy, that is highly relished by the natives. From the husk of the cocoanut the Ti gals make rope and cords, and a maierial for calking their *bots. From the wooiy shells they carve spoons, cups, beads for rosaries and many other articles. The leave** they use to cover ihe roofs of their houses. Roofs made in this man ner are thick and tight, but they have ihe disadvantage of burning readily, so tha/ in the towns and village* where the houses are thus covered conflagrations spread With great rapidity. The veins and smaller ribs of the trees are used to make brooms, the midribs serve as fuel and the ashes are utilized in making soap. The trunk of the paim is made- to serv#* as a pillar to support the houses that its leaves overshadow. Oil barrels. tub* and water pipes are fashioned from hollow sect ions of the trunk. From the roots the natives extract a red dying material, that they chew In place of the arne-ca palm nuts or bonga wh'n the latter cannot be proucred. Large quantities of cocoanut oil nre manufactured in the Phillppipes. Tr.ls oil is much prized by the natives.
