CLIMATE AND CHARACTER.
National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
turo of the Weather.

National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
ture of the Weather.
The civil war is said to have been
caused by difference in climate, and
the question is now being discussed
whether hot or cold climate has the
greatest effect on national character.
1t has been widely believed that a Sc
we're climate produces the greatest ef-
feet, because it compels effort and self
denial, and thus promotes energy and
inventiveness, says the New York Jour.
nal.
1t would also seem that the influences
Of climate upon the national character
has been greatly exaggerated. As
syria, Babylonia, Egypt and Carthage,
situated in hot latitudes, were among
the most masterful nations of antiq-
uity. Mohammed and his conquering
legions issued from the burning wilder
ress of Arabia, and at later period his
successors were able to beat back the
repeated attacks of the combined cru
sading nations from the north.
The greatness of nation depends
mainly upon intellectual and moral
qualities, and these have often been
conspicuously developed among the in
habitants of hot climates. II is inn
portant, too, to remember that the
same nation, occupying the same re-
gion, may be great and powerful in one
age and weak and contemplate in an
other. The difference between the an
cient Greeks, Romans and Saracens, on
the one hand, and their modern de-
scendants on the other, cannot have
been due to climate.

is In session at Portland, and will con-
tinue during the week. 1t is expected
that about 400 people will be in at

Indians Soon Die II They Arc Deprived of
Their Liberty ia Prisons.
AT recent meeting of the Sioux VAL
| ley Medical association DR.. S. Olney, of
| Sioux Falls, read most interesting, not
to say startling, paper on the effect of
confinement on the Indian. The Ar
gus-Leader had been told the same
facts By Col. j. II. Burns, of Deadwood,
but was inclined to take the colonel's
statement with grain or two of salt.
as the colonel is an enthusiastic cham
pion of the Indian. The figures of DIR.
Olney, however, are even more start
ling than the statements made by
Judge Burns. -.
There are confined in the penitentiary
123 white men, some of whom have
been there for years. OF this number
but two are sick. OF the 10 Indians
who have been confined in the peni-
tentiary in the last two years three are
dead, one was pardoned in a dying con-
dition and is now barely alive, five are
in the hospital with the death mark
upon them, and three are ill. OF the
seven who are practically healthy, FIVE
have been confined but one month, one
nine months and two for two years.
All of these Indians appeared to be
sound when they were admitted to the
penitentiary.
The statement of Judge Burns TO
Judge Riner at the last term of the fed
eral court in Sioux Falls, that snort
sentence of Imprisonment was to- the.
Indian in effect death sentence, seems
to be literally true, and there is in this
paper of DR.. Olney an appeal to federal
judges which ought to have its weight.

another charge was made against a

Hawaii's Arbitration Proposition at Last

Hawaii's Arbitration Proposition at Last
Finds Favor With the Japs.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The Japan
ese government has accepted the offer
by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute be-
tween the two countries. The state
department has been informed of the
offer and its acceptance. he subjects
of the arbitl alton will include not only
the difficulty over the landing of Jap
anese immigrants, but also will include
other dlsagreements between the two
countries, the most important of which
is the Sake tax imposed upon Japan
ese liquor largely imported and con-
sumed by the Japanese in Hawaii.
When officials of the state depart
ment were informed of the offer and
acceptance of arbitration the secretary
of the japanese legation here was in
formed that until the annexation
treaty was concluded the United States
would not assume authority in the
matter and that the present dispute
must be considered as between Japan
and Hawaii, The secretary in reply
said he was glad to learn such was the
position of the United States, as it
would permit Japan sending two or
three warships to Hawaii pending final
action on the arbitration treaty. This
Interpretation of the situation rather
surprised the state department Off
cials, who answered that the United
States would consider in different
light an agreement of arbitration and
the sending of warships, and intima-
ted that non-interference by the United
States in one case could not he con-
strued as passive acceptance OF the
latter position,

his plan is perfectly feasible, and that
the plant he has bought for the COM

Quay and Morgan will Study Conditions
on the Islands.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Senator Quay
has announced his intention of making
an early trip to the Hawaiian islands
to make careful study of the country,
its prospects and advantages or disad-
vantages which would accrue to this
country on annexation. In an inter-
view he gave the impression that he
was going as an Informal representa-
tive of the committee on foreign affairs,
and that on what he saw or learned
would be based a voluminous report
which would be read when the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty comes up for
consideration.
Quay said his Judgment and his vote
would entirely depend upon the i'm
preston which he might gain by a
personal tour of the islands.
Senator Morgan, senior democratic
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, is also arranging for an ex.
tended visit in September to the Ha-
