p£WEY IS OUT
FOR PRESIDENT
Admiral Says That He Will Ran
as an Independent.
RESCINDS HIS FORMER DECISION
Through the New York World He
flakes Announcement of His
Candidacy.
A special from Washington saya
{hat Admiral Dewey authorizes the
y ew York World to announce to the
American people that after mature re
flection, and in response to the earn
est entreaties from all part* of the
country, his former dscision not un
der any circumstances to ran for the
presidency is rescinded.
A World correspondent saw the ad
miral at his home in Washington,
Tuesday evening. Admiral Dewey
said:
“I realize that the time has ar
rived when I must definitely de
fine my position.
“When I arrived in this ooun
tij last September I said the
that nothing would induce me to
be a candidate for the presidency.
“Since then, however, I hare
had the leisure and inclination to
6tndy the matter, and have
reached a different conclusion,
inasmuch as so many assurances
have come to me from my coun
trymen that I would be accept
able as a candidate for this great
office. If the American people
want me for this high office I shall
be only too willing to serve thorn.
“It is the highest honor in the
gift of this nation; what citizem
would refuse it?
“Since studying this subject, I
am convinced that the office of
president is not suoh a very diffi
cult one to fill, his duties being
mainly to execute the law’s of con
gress. . . +~~
“Should I be chosen for this
exalted position, I would execute
the laws of congress as faithfully
as 1 have always executed the or
ders of my superiors-.” -
Admiral Dewey did not state which
party’s nomination he would accept.
The reporter asked:
“On what platform will you stand?”
and the admiral replied:
‘‘l think I have said enough at this
time, and possibly too much.”

A special from San Juan de Porto
L;co says: A crowd of about 500 per
sons gathered Monday at a pier under

Ooj pe°pi e assembled and attacked the

Poucemen on duty, but they made no
e.npt to disperse the crowd, and a
oinpany of infantry was called out to

Hats of the Navabo Indians.
The Navaho Indians in Arizona live
In rude, earth-covered huts scattered
widely throughout the reservation and
never grouped into villages. ltude as
the huts appear, however, they are al
ways built strictly according to rule
and the building is followed by an
elaborate religious ceremony by which
the house is dedicated. Each timber
in it must be laid in a certain way and
in a prescribed order, and finally a
doorway Is added not unlike the dor
mer windows of our houses. This is
the home proper, but all over the reser
vation there are hundreds of little
structures which are miniature models,
as it were, of the houses, except that
they lack the projecting doorway.
These miniature huts, scarcely as high
as a man’s hip, look like children’s
playhouses, but they occupy an Impor
tant place in the Navabo system, for
they are the sweat houses or bath
houses and are the main reliance of
those people against sorcery and dis
ease. Each of these structures is de
signed to hold but one person at a
time, and he must crawl in and squat
upon his heels, with his knees drawn
up to his chin.—New York Post

China Methods.
Nowhere else are the principles of
sound banking better known and un
derstood or so universally practiced,
w hile the word of a Chinese merchant
is accepted the world around. The
Chinese were the first to coin money
and they have long since solved the
problem of bank note issues. Business
conditions are stable and values set
tled. Their internal commerce Is high
ly developed and all products that can
stand their slow methods of transpor
tation are well distributed.
Yeti tills, the greatest country In the
world. Is without any of the modern
means of transportation and exchange.
Its immense traffic Is still handled in
the most primitive manner—strings of
camels that reach from the city gate
to the horizon carry the tons of coal
for the people’s fuel. Pack mules
from western provinces laden with
dried fruits, silks and rugs, reiurn with
salt fish and sea weeds. Heavy carts
groan beneath casks of fragrant wines.
Towboats are dragged along the canals
and rivers by dozen of straining men.
The traveling merchant may make
his trip by cart, boat or sedan chair,
if the weather be mild, but If it be
winter, the mule litter will carry him
over the rougher country, or he may
skim along the waterways on a light
sled propelled by human arms and
legs.—Leslie’s Weekly.

Strange Predicament of a Bird.
A writer in Bird Lore says: “Several
years ago, when in a Western town, I
was taken to a neighbor’s to see his
birds. Four cages swung in tbe sheltei
of a commodious porch. One contained
a red-winged'blackbird that had beeD
taken from its nest when very young
and brought up by band. Ills associ
ates were a canary, a blnejay and an
oriole. The canary had been pur
chased at a bird store, and had been
taken from neighboring nests, and had,
no doubt, picked up the characteristic
notes of their species from the many
other members of their kind that in
habited the vicinity, but It was many
miles to the nearest swamp or lowland
where one might find a red-winged
Blackbird. The red-wing had learned
perfectly tbe notes of his caged com
panions, and had picked up some notes
of other birds in the neighborhood, but
not one note of the red-winged black
bird did be know.”
Electricity and Soda.
CoffSTul Boyle of Liverpool reports
Important discoveries and uses of
chemical engineering in England. He
refers to the electrolytic process for
decomposing common salt, with the re
sult of producing soda aud chloride of
lime at very cheap rates.
The same method is being applied to
the manufacture of other chemicals.
Electricity, having become compara
tively cheap, is now used to effect de
composition with which chemists have
long had a theoretical acquaintance,
but which till recently remained lab
oratory curiosities.
In our own country metals are now
being reduced from their ores to an in
creased extent by means of the electric
current. Electrical engineering is now
a distinct branch In most of our techni
cal schools.
In ISSO there were 71,000 tons of
steel made In the whole world. In
1898 the United States alone made
9,075,000 tons.
