MAKES OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Admiral Says Taint Are Not as They Used
ts Be, as Bosses Not the People -Control
the Political Machinery
I the Ceantry.
WASHINGTON. June 13. Admiral
Deey, who returned from his Western
trip on Wednesday, was seen today by
an Associated Press representative,
and asked whether or not he would de
fine his position relative to the vlce
jrsldential nomination. He replied
that, inasmuch as he had not been of
fered the nomHation, it would perhaps
be presumptlous in him to My that be
would not accept it-
"But," it was suggested, "many dem
ocrats throughout the country are dis
cussing the desirability of placing you
on the ticket with Bryan."
"I have never contemplate being a
candidate for vice-president," replied
the admiral'. "I am not a candidate for
the nomination for that office, and
would not accept if nominated. My po
sition Is unchanged. I stand now
where I have stood for the past three
months."
The above statement was submitted
to and approved by Admiral Dewey.
NEW YORK, June 15. The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends a
report of an interview with Admiral
Dewey, in which he is represented as
confessing that his presidential pros
pects are not good. He said:
"Some time aga the leaders, or those
whom we have always regarded as
leaders, asked me if 1 would allow my
name to b used in connection with the
presidency.
"After thinking this proposition over
several weeks, I said 'yes,' and accord
ingly announced that if the people
wanted me to serve In that capacity I
would gladly do so. !
"But 1 thank God they do not appear
to want me. In these days the people
do not select the president. The choice
Is made by a few political leaders, who
put their heads together and fix up
their slate before the convention as
sembles." Admiral Dewey recalled that in for
mer days it was customary for the can
didate before a national convention re
ceiving the next highest number of
votes to the successful man to receive
the nomination for vice-president, and
that meant succession to the presidency
If the party contlnusd in power.
This led the admiral to the question
of whether he would accept the nomi
nation for vice-president. He said
some of his very best friends had urged
him to make a formal announcement
that he would accept second place on
the ticket with Bryan. This he had de
clined to do on the ground that the
nomination nad not been tendered him.
Admiral Dewey is entirely familiar
with the situation in China. When
asked the direct question:
"What is likely tp be the outcome of
the present complications in China?"
the admiral shook Tils head as if un
certain about venturing an opinion.
"The situation in China," he said, "I
regard as a serious one ery serious,
indeed. I can only see but one outcome
as a result of the conflict now in prog
ress In China, and that Is the adoption
of the American policy In favor of open
ports for American commerce on equal
terms with all other commercial na
tions of the world.
"It must come to that eventually, and
it Is fortunate that we are In a posi
tion to say to the nations of Europi:
'We are in this deal, gentlemen.
"This would not have been possi
ble." continued the admiral, "had It
not been for the result of the Spanish
war. It seems that God is with us in
making it .possible to have at the mo
ment the largest army of men and the
most formidable fleet of ahlps right on
the pot to enforce our lights and see
that American interests are protected.
"Not only have we an army of over
50,000 trained soldiers at the very gate
of the Orient, but we are the only na
'i ;.-.( t!-t gunboats on the Yang
Tao Kiang river. It seems like a spe
cial dispensation of Providence for us to

have two of our gunboats which are
capable of navigating those waters on
the spot undergoing minor repairs.
Why," exclaimed the admiral, "in
many parts of China the Chinese are
taking Amertom flour in preference to
rice, and all kinds of American prod
ucts find a ready market throughout
the empire. Our commerce is Increas
Ing wonderfully all the time, and now
we have the Philippines we are right at
the very door of this rich field of com
merce."
"Then you sincerely believe In our
retention of the Philippines?" the ad
mlral was asked.
"Most assuredly I do," was the
prompt reply. "Had It not been for our
acquisition of those Islands it would
not have been possible to have the
lighting force in those waters today,
and we would have been Ignored In the
deliberations now daily held by the
representatives of the great nations of
Europe relating to China, the same as
If we were one of th-i smaller countiies
of South America
"Not only am I interested In the sub
ject as an Ani-wau cltlxen, but I have
a number of dear, warm personal
friends actively engaged in the conflict.
One of these Is Vieo-Admiral Seymour,
who is in personal command of the
Frillsh fleet. I pray God they are not
going to massacre ?iira. He was with
me when I saw Aguinaldo, and Sey
mour advised the Filipino" chief to tie
to the Americans.
"KempfTs knowledge of the German
language enables him to participate In
the consultations which the command
ers of the respective forces hold daily
and he is able to keep bis government
well advised of what occurs, without
the aid of an Interpreter. He is for
tunate in having with , him Captain
McCatla, who is one of the most daring
and brilliant officers of the navy."
M'KINLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Vice-Presidential Nomination Still a
Matter of Conjecture.
NEW YORK, June 15. "If we knew
who is to be the republican candidate
for vice-president there would be little
use !n holding the convention, for the
renomination of President McKInley Is
certain," sail Senator Piatt last night.
The senator declared that he had not
pretended to guess the name. of the
vlce-presldntlal candidate- He flatly
contradicted a report that he had a
conference with Senator Allison, of
Iowa, and Cornelius N. Bliss, on Wed
nesday evening. "I did not talk with
Senator Allison, and did not know he
was in the city, and I did not see Mr.
Bliss," he said, "and there was no talk
about offering the nomination to Mr.
Bliss. I understood that Mr. Bliss an
nounced some time ago that he would
not take the nomination and I have
heard of no change In the situation.
Senator Piatt said there could be no
decision as to a possible recommenda
tion of a candidate by the New York
delegation in Philadelphia until the
delegation got together for a discus
slon of candidates. The delegation will
not meet until Monday evening. The
talk about Chairman O'Dell of the re-
publican state campaign committee be
; ing put forward as a candidate, Sena
' tor Piatt said, was not taken seriously
by Mr. O'Dell or by other leaders. The
senator was asked if he thought Cor
nellug X. Bliss would accept a nomi-
i nation for the vice-presidency.
"Would a duck swim?" he asked in
; reply.
I Then he said he did not believe Mr.
. Bliss could get the support of the New
York delegation. "I think," he paid,
j "that Mr. Woodruff would get more
votes man air. tsnss couia in tne aeie-
1 gatlon. If Mr- O'Dell would take the
nomination he could have the support
of the delegation. Mr. O'Dell Is a man
of executive ability, as Mr. Hobart was,
and If he were elected vice-president he
would fill the place as well as Mr. Ho
bart did."
Senator Allison was at the Albe
marle Hotel last night, but he declined
to give Interviews to newspaper men
who sent their cards to him. He did
not see Senator Piatt,
General Charles H. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, paid at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last evening:
"There will be no assault committed
upon Govern ?r Roosevelt at the Phila
delphia convention. There will be no
stampede for any candidate for vice
president. Republican national con
ventions do not stampede. I have at
tended every national convention since
1SC0, when Mr. Lincoln was nominated,
and I have never Been a stampede. Af
ter the nomination for president Is
made it is the custom to adjourn to
look rver the situation. I understand
that Mr. B!Is Is nt willing to be a
candidate. I am In favor of Mr. Dolll
vr fnr vice-president."

STATE OF VEILED

(Continued from First FrO
not withdraw them. A diplomat point
ed out today that the Japanese troops
would not like serving under Rus
sian officers, and that the Russians
dislike obeying the orders of an English
or Jupanese officer, -
Although the suggestion has been put
forth In diplomatic quarter here that
the power dethrone the empress dow
ager and restor Emperor Kwantf Hsu,
no official representation has ben made
to Secretary Hay on the subject, and
the administration .does not contem
plate adopting such a policy. This
statement Is made on the highest au
thority, having been evoked by a
Shanghai report thot the American.
English and Japanese ministers at Fe
klu had agresl on this course.
A diplomat who discussed the ques
tion of such action this afternoon alJ
he did not believe the powers could
agree on a policy of this kind. The
emperor Is In pojr health, and If he
should die It would be necessary for
the powers to designate his successor,
which would lead to serious implica
tions. It Is believed that the presence
of large bodies of foreign troops will
have a great moral effect not only up
on the empress dowager, but upon the
Chinese generally. If the power can
hold the head, the body can be. It Is
thought, easily controlled.
WOMEN REPUBLICANS.
Delegates of Prominent Women a:
the Philadelphia Convention.
PHILADELPHIA. June 13. The first
of the women republican workers to
arrive ts Mrs. J. Klllen Foster, who
took rooms at the Hotel Walton last
night More than 50 co-workers of Mrs.
Foster will arrive during the week.
They will have no trouble In getting
good seats ot the convention hall, for
their campaign labors have been recog
nized as of great value, and they are
constantly Increasing their machinery

lican party. They will take a lively
interest in the proceedings of the con
vention, will confer with the delegates
and leaders from every part of the
country, and before they separate will
make preliminary plans for their cam
paign. "We are not all young In experience
in politics," said Mrs. Foster. Most
of ns have been students of politics
for many years. We organized In 1SSS,
and the convention of that year at
Chicago was the first we attended.
Sirce then we have attended the par
ty conventions, have been consulted by
the leaders, and have done on im
mense amount of labor, principally In
the Introduction of literature."
Within a day or two headquarters for
the association will be opened at the
Walton. Entertainments for the visit
ing women are being arranged by the
New Century and other women c'.ubs
of the city, and thcio will be for them
no lark of social as well as political
enjoyment.
Among notable members of the as
sociation who will be here ere the
secretary, Mrs. Chase, of Rhode Isl
and; Mrs. Miry S. Lockwood, of Wash
ington, editor of the magazine of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,

wick Bosweil, a well-known writer of
New York; Miss E. E. Pierce, of Bos
ton; Mrs. Sarah Dean, of Washington;
Mrs. Fannie Gresham, of Texas; Mrs,
Farrar, of Minnesota, and Miss Mary
Yostwood, of Washington.
GOVERNMENT NOTES ABOUND.
But Anticipated Insufficiency of the
New Bank Notes.
NEW YORK, June 15. A special to
the Journal of Commerce from Wash
ington says:
The treasury Is facing the crop mov
Ing season very well equipped with
government notes, but under some pres
sure In regard to supplying the large
volume of new bank notes which have
been applied for under '.he gold stand
ard law. The probability of a heavy-
demand for notes was anticipated early
In the winter. Precautions were taken
to print a large stock of silver certifi
cates of the denomination of tl and 12,
and United States notes of larger de
nominations.
Treasury notes Issued under the Sher
man law are no longer being printed,
In accordance with the mandate of the
gold standard law for their gradual re
tirement. As a result of the precau
tions taken early In the winter, It has
been possible to reduce the printing of
government notes somewhat and to put
the force of the bureau of engraving
and printing more largely on the new
bank notes.
It is proposed after this week to begin
work upon the new silver certificates
for $5, for which the design has Just
been completed. It has been the ex
perience that after notes have been Is
sued of a new design, even when fresh,
there is an unwillingness to accept
those of an old design. For this reason
few certificates for J5 have been Issued
recently from the old plates, and prep
arations have been made to Issue from
the new plates as soon as they are
ready.
The treasury will be amply supplied
with notes for exchange, but may be
somewhat handicapped In Issuing any
different class or note from that offered
for exchange, because of the scant
margin of authorized issues. The
United States notes on hand, June 1L
were $21,&C3,7&2 and silver certificates,
17.369,3:12. This total of more than $29,-
000,000 Is about 112,000,000 better than
the minimum of last summer and au
tumn, but It might very soon tie ex
hausted by heavy demands.
NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKES.
Trades Unions Favor Arbitration as a
Substitute.
CHICAGO, June 15. Sympathetic
strikes are to be a thing of the past.
If a plan of arbitration can be nit re oil
on by the building trades' unions, and
the associations affiliated with the
Building Contractors' Council. A dec
laration to this effect will come today
from the del"g.V.es who participated In
the Joint conference- with the contrac
tors on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
who were In secret caucus all day yes
terday, debating a plan of settlement
of the lab-r trouble.
It was agreed practically by tho del
egates that the demand of the con
tractors for abolition of the sympathet
ic strike was one which could be grant
ed without detriment to the caue- of
labor. ftiM a committee was appointed
to prepare a resolution which would
give formal expression to this senti
ment. A sub-tvmmlttee was formed to
diaft a communication to the Building
Contractors' Council on the same sub
ject. The sub-committee will send to the
Building Contractors' Council today a
general statement of the position of the
delegate on the sympathetic strike
question. It will declare, as near as
can be learnej. that sympathetic ktrlkes
should be abolished.
At the same time the subcommittee
will reaffirm the determination of union
labor to preserve the Building Trades'
Council.
The arbitration plan which has ben
drawn up provides for the establish
ment of a permanent arbitration board
and also a board of appeals, which
shall act speedily and adjust every
difference promptly as It arises. Tend
ing the finding of the board, rork
shall continue uninterruptedly. In this
way strikes and lockouts will 1h dim
Inated, and In no case will building be
delayed.
RATES DEMORALIZED.
Compacts Between the Great Rallroa
Systems Now at an End.
NEW YORK. June 15.-The Erie
Railroad Company, through Its general
passenger agent, D. E. Roberts, has
given formal notice that because of
violations of theJoInt passenger agree
ment by other lines. It consider Itself
absolved from observance of the com
pact. This trouble has been brewing
for some time and It reached the crlt
leal stage at the recent meeting of the
Joint passenger committee In this city.
At that meeting .he Erie and other
differential lines demanded that the
excess fare rule, which Is applied to
west bound trains In trunk line terrl
tory, also be applied to east bound
trains running between Chicago and
New York, but the demand was ob
Jected to by the general passenger
agents of the western connections of
the trunk line roads.
This rule directs that an excess fare
at the rate of $1 an hour be chnrei
on all trains making the run from this
city to Chicago in less than 28 hours.
Among railroad men the opinion Is
expressed that passenger rat's are iov
so demoralized that no hope for a rend
Justment could be entertained b-f ore
the end of the summer tourist season
MAGNETIC FRAUDS EXPOSED-
Important Decision Against American
School of Magnetic Healing
ST. LOUIS. June 13. A decision of
Importance has been handed down by
Judge Thayer, In the case of the Amer
ican School of Magnetic Healing, S. A,
Weltner and J. H. Kelly, complainants,
vs. J. M. McAnnulty, postmaster of
Nevada, Mo. The opinion holds that
the direction given by the postmaster
general to withhold mall sent to com
plninants and return It to the senders,
marked "Fraudulent," Is legal. An in-
Junction restraining McAnnulty from
obeying the order was denied.
The postmaster-general. In pursuance
of an act of congress, directed McAn
nulty to send all letters addressed to
the complainants back to the senders
and mark "Fraudulent" upon them, or
transmit them to the dead letter office
at Washington. This order contained
a finding to the effect that the Ameri
can School of Magnetic Healing, with
Its president and secretary, were en
gaged In a scheme to obtain money
through the malls by means of fraud
ulent representations. A bill of com
plaint was thereupon filed by the com
plainants to obtain an Injunction re
straining McAnnulty from carrying out
this order.
ECLIPSE PHOTOS VALUELESS.
Two Chicago Professors Failed In Their
Efforts to Photograph the
Recent Eclipse.
CHICAGO, June 15. The Chicago
Chronicle says:
Prof. Henry Crew, of the chair of
Physics in Northwestern University, an
nounces that all the photographs he
had taken of the eclipse of the sun
had been under-exposed and were val
ueless. Ills pictures were obtained at
the United States Naval Observatory
in Griffin, Ga., where he was asslsrel
by J. C. Stephnal, Instructor of Phys
ics In Northwestern University.
The failure to oecure good photo
graphs is explained by the brief time,
only 20 seconds,, available for the line
of work to which the two men had
planned to devoto their attention.
