them testify that they believed in the
Koran, which sanctions polygamy, and
were therefore polygamists and dis
qualified for admission here. The
young men protested that they were
bachelors and had no intention of get
ting married, but that made no diff
ference. One Armenian seems to have

Every little while reports come from,
the great oceanic spaces Of the orient
of elemental disturbance, such rs
earthquakes, tidal waves and hurri-
canes, that result in loss of life that
make disasters on this continent seem
lame in comparison. The latest horror
is typhoon that swept the Philippine
islands and left 5000 dead. Between
the Spanish bosom and the typhoon's
sweep the Philippines are in a lamenta-
bic condition. The awful strength of
one of these hurricanes in southern
seas is quite unimaginable by those
who have not had experience of these
disturbances.
