ConsulIGeneralaLe Lee in recent despatch
to the government expresses the opinion
that Blanco s.policy of Cancellation has
already produced good results in Cuba in
the way of improving the condition of
the people. AS to its ultimate re-
suit on the rebellion he is very
guarded, not going much farther
than to give it as his belief that there is
a possibility that 1t may put an end to
the rebellion. He thinks it will be a
long time before its effect in this direc-
tion can be told certainly. There is great
danger, however, that before 1t gets fully
to work in the island it will be nullified
by the people of Spain by their opposi-
tion to granting to the Cubans the priviI-
ege of making their own tariff. Doubt
less large part of the hardships of the
inhabitants of the island have been direct
ly traceablessto Spanish interference with
thu natural course of Cuban trade.
Cuba's principal market is the United
States. Almost all the sugar it raises is
sold here. That being the case the most
natural and profitable place for them to
buy in would be the United States. But
by placing heavy duties on imports into
the island from the United States Spain
has compelled them to. buy in far off
Catalonia, and pay heavy freight rates for
the transportation of their purchases to
! Cuba. This has been one of the methods
of squeezing the island for the benefit Of
| the mother country, If this is to be con
tinued it is no use to expect that 1.-The in
surgents willslay down their arms volu n :
tarily. The Sagasta ministry has con-
eeived scheme of autonomy which may
possibly be successful if it be left intact.
But if the Spanish protectionists succeed
in knocking tariff autonomy out of it it
might as well be dropped altogether. The
ministry is making a good fight to pre-
| serve it's programme entire but exceeding
ly powerful interests are arrayed against
it and its ultimate fate is yet uncertain.

1t was 3 veritable tempest in tea
pot' which our Canadian cousins kicked
up over the passage OF the superannuated
Yantic up the st. Lawrence. Inasmuch
as 20 feet of her bow, her entire keel and
her spars have been removed, and there
is considerable question whether she will
be able to reach Ogdensburg before navi-
dian ports are safe for the present.

Secretary Long in his report takes a
conservative position in regard to the
increase of the navy. He says truly that
our purpose is not to build up q great
navy for offensive operations, but merely
to provide ourselves with enough ships to
guard our sea coast and perform police
duty. Construction Of only one battle
ship is recommended for the coming year.
The Secretary thinks the time has come
to pay less attention to building new
ships and more to providing proper equip
ment for those we have and proper
facilities for their repair We need docks
and reserve supply of ordnance and am
munition, and the Secretary very properly
urges that we bend our energies rfor the
present principally to providing these
things. What the Secretary says is all
true and his recommendations are wise If
things are to remain as at present. But
the annexation of the Sandwich Islands
will almost certainly create necessity
for much greater naval expansion.

CThe Foremost Thinker Of the Century,
Herbert Spencer, both philosopher and
scientist, still stands as the only man
who has taken his cosmic theory and
worked it out through all the separate
fields of knowledge as thoroughly as
if he had confined himself to but one
science.
This great accomplishment of Spen-
GER, given to the world as his system
of synthetic philosophy, is truly his
lifework. To it he has given all the
energies of half century of unceasing
toll. From the time his first book,
Social Statics," was published in 1860,
until less than year ago his work has
gone steadily on against obstacles that
would have daunted any other man,
until the great system has been finally
brought to an end and the ideals which
at the beginning of his life he hardly
dared cherish for a moment have been
realized.
Spencer was born at Derby in 1920
of cultivated and scientifically mind
ed ancestry. He was at first a civil
engineer, but soon gave that up and
devoted himself entirely to philosophy.
He has always refused to enter into
connection of any kind with the uni
versities of his land, and he has spent
his own fortune and all the income
from his books in prosecuting his
studies,

PETRiFIED INDIAN.
Discovered Recently on the shore OF
Yellowstone Lake.

On the eastern shore of the beautiful
Yellowstone lake, in an almost impen-
etrable forest, lie the petrified remains
of an Indian. How long he has lain
there or to what tribe he belonged no
one i,nows. A New York Times CORE
spondent and f. Jay Haynes, the WELL
known park photographer of ST. Paul,
Mimi, made their way to the spot. for
the purpose of taking a photograph Of
the dead Indian. For several years
there have been stories told concerning
this petrified body, which tourists gen.
orally were not inclined to believe, be-
cause no one could tell exactly where
it was situated. The spot is near pref
ty little cove within sight of the Lake

hotel, which is visited every year by
hundreds of people from all parts of
the globe. At one time a small stream
flowed down between two hills into the
cove, but it is now dry. Due west from
the spot is Franklin island, three miles
from the shore.
After considerable trouble Mr..
Haynes succeeded in taking a photo
graph of the remains. The picture
shows the Indian in standing position,
with the left arm extended upward.
The right arm is close to the side and
the legs are in the position one would
assume when taking step forward. AS
the Indian stands in the picture he is
about eight feet high. This was not
his natural height, for dirt and rock
solidifed below his feet. The body
weighs at least 400 pounds.
