Arthur that it was DeVaux, Durand’s
lieutenant, who killed the sleek

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.—
The Navy heads declare that the
United States navy is in first class
shape to take care of any .critical
emergencies that may arise from the
the present grave situation.
EXTRA SESSION IS NOW
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.—
Although the President still persists
in rushing the work of Congress
and all night sessions are likely, it
is staled to be assured that an extra
session of Congress will be inevit
able. The amount of unfinished
work is enormous and many oarty
measures which the administration
was anxious to secure attention for
have had to be shelved owing to
the prior attention needed for
emergency measures. That this is
so is not relished by the administra
tion which will have to face entirely
different conditions in the next le
gislative body.
The report that the President was
considering calling off the elaborate
inaugural ceremony planned is not
confirmed. It will depend entirely
upon what are the developments
throughout the two coming weeks
whether any parade will be held
and the usual inaugural functions
given.
DEWEY LEFT
LARGE FORTUNE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 20.—
The widow and son of the late Ad
mical Dewey today filed a petition
in administration.' The estate is ap
praised at a quarter million dollars.
It was expected that Dewey was a
richer man, as he was Very thrifty
and lived unassumingly. The will
was filed for probate.
Some of the property involved
is a gift from the nation to the .hero
of Manilla bay, and subscribed for
by the people to the victor of that
battle.
