The stop at Panama of the fleet of
cruisers under command of Rear Ad­
miral William T. Swinburne served to
focus special attention on this officer
and his warships. This stop was the
first the fleet made after leaving Mag­
dalena bay on its southern cruise, and
the officers and men were the recip­
ients of many courtesies at the isth­
mus. The command of Admiral Swin­
burne comprises the West Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania. Colorado,
Tennessee, Washington, California and
South Dakota. The admiral reached
Ids present grade two years ago and
entered the navy from Rhode Island
in 18G2. He has seen over twenty-five

diana's pioneers. Ke Sent Ills son to
the public schools ai d Inter to Asbury
college, now called De Pauw universi­
ty. From ft In later years Major
Smith received the honorary degree
ol' LL. D. He was not quite nineteen
when the civil war broke out, but he
enlisted nt once hi the Union army
and served until the end of the war,
being In the armies of tlie Potomac,
Ohio and <'umberland and rising to
the rank of major in the Sixth Indiana
cavalry. Ills war record was a gnl-
lant one and Included some stirring
episodes. At otic time lie was wound-
id and taken prisoner. After confine­
ment in a Confederate prison at Au­
gusta, Ga., lie was exchanged and re­
joined his regiment.
After the war Major Smith engaged
for n time in cotton planting in Mis­
sissippi. but the call to wield his tal­
ents in the field of journalism proved
a compelling one. and Ills career in the
newspaper world was begun as editor
of the Terre Haute (Ind.) Mail. He
subsequently acquired the Terre Haute
Express, but removed It to Chicago,
continuing its publication as the Cbl-
< ago Express. It was In 1882 that he
established the American Press As­
sociation, ami during the rest of his
life he remained its president and gen­
eral manager, giving it his nettve inter­
est and thoughtful care. Although tills
association constitutes a notable monu­
ment to Major Smith, It is quite possi­
ble that in years to come he will be
best remembered ns a philosophic
thinker and as the author of works
Icearitig upon human charm ter and
destiny. Among these are "A Short
View of Grout Questions....... l'he Com­
ing Democracy." "Eternallsm," "Bal-
