It has come ti my knowledge, and I can vouch for ni e truth of it, that Hobson refused an oi for of fifty thousand dollars to go on h limited lecturing tour, giving as his p ason for so doing that to turn his ed into money would bo to belittle It will be bard to strike a trial ilance of his character, both sides of s. e ledger being carefully considered ul added up.

" " I wen* fxisung outside of France, and in Franflp that sentiment appeared to be confined to the press, which does not reflect the sentiment of the nation nor the people generally." "Do yon think there will be an early reeflbrgUqn of oordial relations between Spain and the United States?" "I think that very soon after the ratittaAion of the peace treaty, and the restorjhton of diplotaatie relations th^re vfMl be no difficulty about negotiating commercial treaties and a treaty fW the release of prisoners, and | such other matters directed toward the wbrteftl restoration of friendly rela MMfbetween the two governments.

I /* Rear Admiral George Dewey, the i ro of Manila, is now the senior rear I miral of the United States navy, I lich means that he is the head of the i hting forces of Uncle Sam on the ?. This change has come about ing to the retirement Christmas day Rear Admiral Francis M. Bunce. lar Admiral Bunce's service has exided over a period of more than 4G iirs, in which time he has seen much ive duty and won for himself an enible reputation. His war record is 9=1 nal to that of any of the men now in l\l * navy. He entered the navy as a let midshipman on May 28, 1852, 1 was promoted through the various iiV'til **e reached that of rear veil ttln February G, 1898. He was ished services r e n <1 er e&eru?.re" il war. He was the first command- tl t of the ill fated battleship Maine d also of the largest squadron of idern American warships ever asmbled in times of pence. His last ity was the command of the navy y( rd at Brooklyn. ^ Rear Admiral Dewey's services have tended over a period of forty-four ars. He entered the navy September ^ I, 1854, and was awarded the rank of ar admiral by a vote of congress May , 1898, for services rendered in the y r east. If congress makes him an g lmiral and increases his time of serve ton years, he will, with the excepon of Admiral Tarter, have served iore time on the active list than any g tlier officer. With the increased time . is naval career will extend over a eriod of more than fifty-five years. e PLOT DISCOVERED IN TAIMS. client* of Military OWi-lnl* Salil to Have Been tliieartlieil By I'ollce.
