P. M. GENERAL
Charles Emery Smith's Address.
Omaha, Oct. 5. This is Pennsyl
vania Day and Postmaster General
Chas. Emery Smith was the orator of
the occasion. His remarks were con
sidered significant of the administra
tion's stand on the questions discussed.
Smith took up the discussion of the war
and its consequences.
"The halo It has held upon American
arms," he said, "and the glory with
which it has exalted American names,
fills us ith just pride and exultation.
Reluctantly accepted by the president
and only under the supre.ue mandate
of humanity -and justice once under
taken, and the unerring sureness of its
aim, the unfaltering vigor of Its direc
tion and the unbroken - sweep of its
success, stand unmatched on the pages
of war.
"The resplendent victories of . Ma
nila and Santiago, the swift creation
and mobilization of the military force,
equal to' contending armies with which
Napoleon and Wellington de
cided the fate of Europe at
Waterloo, the annihilation of the
two Spanish fleets and the
capture of two Spanish armies, ti'ie
complete extinction of Spanish cohv
nial power, once the pillar of tht
mightiest empire on earth all this ac
complished in a hundred days, with
marching success absolutely unbroken,
and magnitude of result still unmeasur
ed and with loss all told, including
ravages of disease, far less than in pro
portion to the number involved than
that of any other war. of history.
"This war opened s new career snd
we joyfully turn from its thrilling
drama to the grandeur of kthe peace
ful mission which it ushers in. We
turn to the contemplation of peace and
its duties with the consciousness of
new position and new power. We
have stepped out on the broad stage
of the world's action, we have ad
vanced from continental dominion to
the world's influence."

ed an unexpected ovation. At the close
of the first act a bouquet of flowers was
handed Alice Neilson, who was sing
ing the leading role in "The Fortune
Teller," She promptly burled the
flowers at the general in his box. The
house cheered, vociferously. Then all
the actors crowded on the stage and
sang "The Star Spangled Banner" in
which the audience joined. Many per
sons came to Lee's box for a shake of
his hand. Quite an informal reception
was held interrupting the performance
for some time.
May Go to the Coast of Spain.
Washington, Oct. 5. To make s
demonstration on the coast of Spain, in
the event that the Paris commission
fails to agree promptly on a treaty of
peace, is said to be the actual purpose
of the battleships Oregon) and Iowa,
with a fleet of colliers, and other ves
sels which are now ostensibly prepar
ing for a long voyage around Cape
Horn instead of going to Manila. This
is believed to be the real explanation
for the delay.
Boston and Petrel off For Tien Tsln.
Washington, Oct. 5. Admiral
Dewey cabled the navy department to
day that be had sent the Boston and
the Petrel off to Tien Tsin yesterday.
He does not state why the Baltimore

Boston was substituted because she can
get up closer to the city.

Demand All the Philippines.
Paris, Oct. 5. The American peace
commissioners held a secret session to
day. General Merrltt was closeted
with them during the meeting and
discused the situation In the Philip
pines. There is much speculation
here as to what the United States will
claim concerning the Philippines, but
nothing definite can ba learned. The
opinion is growing here that the
American commissioners will-demand
all the islands.
An Uninteresting Election.
Atlanta, Oct. 5. An election is
being held throughout Georgia todsy
for the choice of a governor and other
state officers. The campaign has been
one of the most uninteresting seen in
Georgia in many years, all parties
having evinced little interest in the
contest. The election of Allen D.
Cancler, the democratic nominee for
governor, is conceded. '
A Million Dollar Fire.
Clarksville, Tenn.,Oct. 5. A fire

The New Fire Department and Jail
Building.
The local architects are busy as can
be making tbe plans ror tee new cn.y
building which they e:cpect to present
to the council st lt meeting tomorrow
night. Some of the ;srchiteM5ts have
kept the plans which they b ad sub
mitted before but have out dow n their
walls, to as to cheapen the coat Jf the
buildings and have cbanged the 1'nslde
finishing, but on the whole have .kept
the original ideas.
One of. tbe architects said: "We
have made a very careful calculation of
the cost and we are willing to stake
our commission in the matter that we
can put up our building for thie amount
tbat we say we can If tbe others are not
willing to do the same I thlnb: that the
council ought to require it of them for
they might go abead and put up any
kiad of a talk for tne job and 'when the
time comes to putting up the building,
four the money they say they o.ao, then
it is all out of the question, for they
can't put up a fanoy buildLng at a
cheap building price."
Our Latest Torpedo Craft.
The old saying, "When in peace pre
pare for war," is illustrated by the .fact
that although tbe war with Spain is
over the navy department will open
bids for tbe conptructlon of a dozen
tirpedo boats and of sixteen "destroy
ers" of the most Improved order. The
torpedo-boats will be what might be
termed the Por'er improved. They
will coat about 8175,000, and will have a
speed of at least twenty-six knots an
hour. The torpedo-boat destroyers are
exceptionally fine boats; they may real
ly be said to be the Spanish "destroy
ers" bettered. They will cost about
$295,000. K. G. Skerrett, wbo gives
tbe details of tbe plans in Harper's
Weekly, thinks that competition will
be lively, and tbat every ship yard ' on
both coasts is apt to take an acti ve
part.

Camp Wikoff, Montsuk Point, L.
I. One of tbe regulsrs, wbo wss with
his regiment, snd was present at the
battle at San Juan Hill, related a
little Incident of his observation a few
days ago as be sat In the shadow of
a tent in the company street trying
to keep cool. " Wbeu the battle was
over," he said, "I started out to take a
walk up the hill, and I was partio-larly
interested in noting just what things
the regiments discarded first when
they went into action. The first I
came across were intrenching tools,
cooking utensils, knives and other
things of like character which the
soldier usually carries with him in the
field. The ground all about was
strewn with them. A little further up,
possibly half way, I came across the
rations that had been thrown away,
and away up near the top of the hill
the last of all to be discarded were
tbe Testaments snd prsyer books the
Young Men's Christian association
had distributed while we
were still in Florida. There
were a great many of them
aloner tbe crest of the hill, but I think
the eood people of the association
would be glad to know that the men
threw away everything else that might
prove burdensome or in tbe way, even
to their rations, which were scanty
enougb. before they gave up the Tea
tamcnt tbat had been given them."
A Sickening Smell.
Yecferday afternoon as tbe reporter
was traveling east on Sao Antonio
street he was stopped by the shrieks of
a property bolder on that street. The
reporter stopped and was treated to the
following, which, of course, wss great
ly enjoyed: "Whst in h 1 ithe matter
with tbe city authorities. There laysa
dead dog out in tbat field-that stinks so
bad that the neighbors in this vicinity
cannot stand it We reported the
matter to the chief of police snd to
the city scavenger yesterdsy and
nelgher of them have paid sny at
tention to it. It is a disgrace
to the olty to have the tax-payers
subjected to this kind of treatment
and 1 wish you would mention it in as
strong words ss possible in the HsB-
ald. The dead dog complained of is
on the commons between St.
Vrain and Hill streets on San Antonio
and throws out a very
sickening odor. Yesterdsy afternoon
s crowd of workmen employed by J. C.
Ronan, piled several feet of dirt on top
of the dog and confined the objection
able smell strictly to the dog. It is
very dangerous this time of the year to
allow dead animals to decay in the hot
sun, especially in a country where
smallpox thrives.
