The secretary of state, however, lias been told that he is at liberty to forward any instruc¬ tions to the admiral that he may deem necessary, but that if he concludes to do so, he must act immediately. Representative Hull, of Iowa, chair¬ man of the house military committee, was one of the president’s visitors Wednesday. “This He said: government will not attempt to discredit our men there unless it is shown clearly that they are in tho wrong. If Germany persists in her present course there may be a war. I do not believe this administration will allow Germany to run this government ns she seems to he trying to do now. In iny section of tho country the feel¬ ing lias boeu strong against Germany for six months. The people believe that she was hostile to us in the war with Spain. The people are in such temper that they will not permit any trifling or hedging on the part of the United States. If there should he war I do not believe that all the European countries could or would stand against Great Britain and tho United Stntes.” Senator Thurston said that it would be pretty hard for three of tho most enlightened nations of the earth have war over a few little islands I •which are of no consequence, considered the situation somewhat grave. Senator Stewart said: ‘‘Does Ger¬ many want to fight? If so, she may be accommodated.

DEWEY KNOWS NO PARTY. Admiral 8ayn He Won’t He a Candidate For the Presidency. Admiral Dewey has given to the Ma¬ nila correspondent of Leslie’s Weekly an interview regarding the suggestion that the admiral be made a candidate f ° r presidency next year. The admiral said, as to his politics: “I am a sailor. A sailor has no pol¬ itics. The administration is his party, and republican or democrat, it makes no difference. Then, again, I come from Vermont, and you know wbat that means. To be anything but a re¬ publican in Vermont is to be a man without a party. My flag lieutenant comes from Georgia. He tells me that to be anything but a democrat in the south is to be a nobody. If I lived south I would probably be a demo¬ crat.” ( t Have yon ever voted?” the corres¬ pondent asked. ‘‘Yes, years ago, but my vote was usually influenced by personal prefer¬ ence or local conditions. I am not a politician, and have never held political office, am totally ignorant of party intricacies and affiliations.” Admiral Dewey said that neither by vocation, disposition, education or training was he capacitated to fill the presidency. He said that he was too well along in life to consider such a possibility. His health would not ad¬ mit it. All his life’s work was in dif¬ ferent lines of effort, and that, while the kindness and enthusiasm of his friends wore grateful to him, and the generous tributes of the American peo¬ ple were dear to him, he could not and would not be a candidate for the pres¬ idency of the United States under any conditions. THE L. & N. WINS. Georgia Railroad I.rii«o I.itigntlon Sot- tied By Judge Pardee. An Atlauta dispatch says: There is no longer any question about the fu¬ ture control of tho Georgia railroad. Judge Don A. l’ardee settled that Sat¬ urday by a decree which vested all title to the lease of the Georgia road in the Louisville and Nashville rail- road. By the same action the court en- joined the Central of Georgia from ever hereafter asserting any claim to the lease, thus disposing of a long litigation. Twenty some odd years ago, when William Wadley leased the Georgia railroad, he did not dream that the Louisville and Nashville wonld ever get complete control of the road. He was then presideut of the Central Railrord and Banking Company, and after leasing the Georgia as no indi¬ vidual, he made another lease to the Central and the Louisville and Nash¬ ville as joint lessees. Each company was to have equal voice in selecting the officers of the Georgia road. For years the Georgia was operated as a neutral Hue. When tho Central railroad went into a receivership it failed more than once to put up its proportion of the deficit in the rental. The Louisville and Nashville made the rental good to the stockholders to pre- vent the lease being annulled. When the Central’s properties and assets were put up for sale, the old company’ s half interest in the lease of Georgia road was bought in by ]\j easrs . Thomas and Ryan, who were con j no ting the reorganization. About two years ago the Central j{ a j| Wrt y Company made a claim upon the Louisville and Nashville for a half inVerest iu the lease of the Georgia, The claim was denied by the Louisville and Nashville. Then Messrs. Thomas an( j Rvan asserted their claim, de- t q a ring* that they had bought the old Centl . ftl > 8 half interest iu the lease. mutter was carried to the courts for adjudication. - TENNESSEE JUDGES SKIP OUT. They W1U Tent Action of Assembly In Ousting Them. Some strange developments seem to i, e f 0 n 0 winf; the action of the Tennes- Bee general assembly on the judicial redistricting bill. Judge T. A. R. Nelson, of the Knox county criminal court, and District Attorney Fred Mvuatt have, it is stated, left the state in order to avcid serv j ce G f notice that their offices are to be vacated. ' jq sa jj that a number of other j U( |g es affected by the Trill have taken {j ie same course, and are where the sergeant-at-arms cannot reach them, where this will leave the legislature is problematical. WILL UPHOLD KAUTZ Until It Is Proved That His Action In Sa¬ moa Wat Wrong. A Washington dispatch says: An a result of conferences held Tuesday at the state department and at the Brit¬ ish embassy, efforts will be made te have the Bamoan high commission make a quick trip across the country, reaching Sau Francisco in time to catch the next boat leaving for Samoa. This is regarded as a distinctly fa¬ vorable turn in the negotiations, and as indicating that the three govern¬ ments are very near to a complete ac¬ cord on all the points of the commis¬ sion. It does way also with the reports that Germany was withholding the appointment of her commissioner, and makes practically certain that Baron Speck Yon Sternberg, first secretary of the German embassy at Washing¬ ton, will be the German high commis¬ sioner. Iu an anthoritative quarter it was stated that reports of a German protest against Admiral Kautz’s course in ref¬ erence to the treatment of the cruiser Falke were unwarranted. All the ne¬ gotiations, it is said iu the highest German quarters, are of such a charac¬ ter as to bring the governments more closely together instead of separating them. As it has been strongly intimated in the Berlin dispatches that the German government was about to make a de¬ mand for a disavowal of Admiral Kautz’s action, it may be stated that our government will certainly not ac¬ cede to any such request iu advance a full knowledge of all the facts in ease and a conviction that the admiral acted wrongly, the presumption al¬ ways beiug that our officers have acted with due propriety nntil the contrary is shown to be the case. If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa, the self-constituted king, with liis thirteen chiefs, dominating the affairs of the island, involving the suspen¬ sion of the functions of the supreme court, and of the municipal council, formally and chrly established by treaty, then it was his duty, accord¬ ing to the state department, to bring the condition at once- into conformity with the treaty- BRYAN IN MISSOURI.
