matter of the annexation of the Phil

man is strongly opposed to the
scheme for numerous and good rea-

the climate is such that white men
cannot permanently live and thrive
in it and the population is of such a
character as to make it necessary to
keep a large military force on the
islands in order to keep the people
in order.

Potent Woman.

I'll authorities on Chinese social
life agree that in China the female
sex is kept down to the lowest level
of inferiority, servitude and degra-
dalton. The birth of a girl is looked
on as a misfortune. If the unhappy
infant is allowed to live she is treat
ed as slave until sold in marriage,
when her slavery is complete.
And yet while we are asked to be
lieve this we are told that the real
ruler of China is a woman; that the
restoration to Ii Hung Chang of his
yellow jacket and diamond button,
the acceptance Of the Russian ALI
ance and all the complications which
threaten to involve the civilized
world in a cataclysm are the work
not of any man but of the clear head
and strong hand of the Empress
Dowager, formerly the regent and
now once more the ruler of the En-
pire
IF woman can do this in China
it hardly seems worth while to OPP
pose any resistance to the rule OF
woman in New York II we are not
in Chinese subsection it must be
only because the superior woman
has mercifully refrained from exer-
cising her strength. Anything that
a Chinese woman can do an Ameri-
can woman can do, and if a Chinese
woman can hold the destinies OF
three or four hundred million of
Mongolians in the hollow Of her
hand, no male American citizen can

 He acted as correspondent for the Hartford Courant and says that the fa- cilities for sending mail were very poor although he got all the mail sent to him. All letters sent by correspond dents to newspaper, he was informed, were examined and if they contained any information derogatory to that country they were not sent. He sent all of his letters published in the Cour- ant to private addresses.
 They have paper in Dawson City published four times year; it is print ed in San Francisco. One of the plaques of the country though was mosquitoes. They came in droves and obscured the sun at times like partial eclipse. He says that he had to wear broad brimmed felt hat all the time with fine veil over his face. One night, which is as light as day. when asleep with this veil over his face, he awoke and could not see 8 thing-it was dark. Upon looking for the cause of the darkness he found that the veil over his face was covered with mosqui- toes, two and three inches deep.
 But the climate up there is very healthy and he would not take S5G0O for the benefit he had derived.
