MAKES FOR A MARAT1n1R

Already manufacturers and steam
ship companies are banking on the
great trade which is to be developed
between the United States and the
Philippines when we shall have come
into the possession forced upon US by
the exigencies of war. Tentative plans
are being formed for the establishment
of regular line Of steamships between
New York and the Philippines. The
natural line would be from San Fran
cisco via Hawaii to Manila. OF course
such an enterprise will not be mater
ialized until war is ended and it has
become certain that the United States

ure or as a protection against rabies
| comes the report of the Kennel Ciut
| committee appointed to settle the mad
dog question. one way or the other, by
deductions from actual statistics and
verified facts, covering the United
States and Canada. The committee has
completed its work, having sent letters
of inquiry to veterinarians, health Of
f1cials, and state officers throughout
the United States and Canada. The re-
suit is the conclusion that the mad
dog" cry is practically all scare. The
prevalence of rabies is unfounded- In
all New England, Massachusetts and
Connecticut only were known TO have
had rab ies among the animals and the
latter had but few isolated cases. IN
all the Middle states 1.-The disease had
only been known in rare and ISOLATED
cases" The report from tho Southern
states was that thera is little proof Of
the existence of rabies. From the
Western states the report was that
case was never known west of the
Rocky Mountains. There have been a
few cases in Ontario, but in no other
province in British America was rabies
ever known to exist. Allowing for err
roneous diagnosis, persons being too
ready to acquiesce with public preju-
dice II is reasonable to suppose that
many of thew rare and isolated" cases
were not rabies. The committee boldly
declares, after scientific investigation,
that not one in one thousand of the
mad dogs reported in the newspapers
Of the country have rabies, and that,
while hundreds of mad dogs were re-
ported to have existed in New York
last year, there has not been a single
nydrophobis canine in the city for
thirty years.

A THIRqEFN-INCH GUN.

There is much speculation in the dis
cussions of the average crowd Of lands
men about the destructive force of a
thirteen-inch gun, and some of which
is very wild. Few have any real idea
of the terrific power of a thirteen-inch
gun, such as are carried by the great
American battleships. A thirteen-inch
gun can hurl a projectile weighing haIs
ton or eleven hundred pounds, twelve
miles. The projectile, which is thirteen
inches in diameter, is nearly four feet
long, and moves 1000 feet per second
and can penetrate twenty-five inches
of hardened steel or so-called plate.
single shot from a thirteen-inch gun
would utterly demolsh the biggest
block Of buildings on the continent.
Thirteep-inch guns are from twenty
four to thirty feet in length. In the
bombardment of Santiago upwards OF
fifty tons Of metal was thrown by the
United States ships. Fifty or one hun
dred tons Of metal going at the rate Of
1000 feet per second at a distance Of
four or five miles, if the guns are ac-
curately directed, would leave any or
binary city mass of ruins. Should it
become necessary, Dewey can reduce
Manila in an hour. SIMPSONS fleet
can do the same thing for Havana if
he could get within range of the city.

REED OPPOSES.

The opposition of Speaker Reed to
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
and of all islands, has been wondered
over, causing no little discussion. AS
Tom Reed is a man who will not be in
terviewed and is seldom called upon
matter to learn his views on such
questions as are not up for settlement
by the house. But he has expressed
| himself on the Hawaiian question. In
the first place he sets forth that he rec
| ognizes the fact that in the United
| States alone there is a government, as
Lincoln expressed it, of the people, by
| the people and for the people. That the
contention of the Republican party
has always been that all men stand
equal before the law, and all have
equal rights of suffrage 1t has always
been contended that the colored man of
the south has the same right of suffrag e
as his white brother in the north, and
it was a violation Of the constitution,
idea of this government, to deprive
even the least of its subjects from the
right of suffrage. To allow Hawaii,
Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines to
come into the Union as territories sim
ply means to allow them to come in
with a possibility of statehood with
all its powers of New York or Pennsyl-
vania, for any of the four has popula-
ton enough to entitle it to these rights
and it means to introduce into the SEN
ate a possibility that is far reaching
and overpowering for evil. What in
common would the senators from either
Of htese four territories made states
have with the main body polite Of the
Union? Their location, their environ
ment, their desires would all be en-
tirely different from those of the close |
ly connected and intimate collection of |
states. Their products, their exports, |
and imports are necessarily against |
the wishes of the states of the Union. |
To be sure, they might be admitted |
under some form of colonization which |
would prevent their becoming states,
but to admit them under the present |
laws would leave the present Union
without defense against them.
Reed says it might be stated that the
islands should be taken in without re-
gard to the elective franchise, but this
is almost too puerile to demand atten-
ton. The government of the United
States Of America is founded upon the
basis that every man has a right to
express his desire by ballot, and the
United States cannot afford, consist
emily, to annex TO itself any territory
in which the inhabitants have not the
same right as those dwelling in the
states themselves. If one can reconcile
the idea of a government by repre-
sentation having in itself a portion
without representation and can recon
oile the ideas OF free government with
those Of a limited monarchy, all under
1ne flag, then that same person can at
one breath solve the question that at
present divides congress and keeps IIa-
vaii, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands from coming under the shelter
If the grand flag of freedom.

The War and Business
(From the Hartford Courant

VIUH lHt HdrLIord COurant)
The hopeful American people have seer
the worst of the war trouble. They are
worrying now more amout what TO do
with Cuba and Porto Rico and the Phil.
lippines than about how to get them. And
already business feels the recovery bound
to come when they begin TO buy again.
The shrewdest observers feel sure that the
worst is well behind US and we are going
TO have good year. if not the actual
boom that was impending when the new
year came in. The time for apprehension
has gone by, and the thing TO do now
is to be ready for business.

Precedent and Bacteria

Precedent Is more powerful than
bacteria. The women Of New York are
working hard to prevent the exposure
of meat in any public place, says the
New York Times. Meat juices are, as
far as has been learned, the most nour-
ishing and satisfactory food that can
be offered various kinds Of bacteria Of
various unpleasant diseases. Notwith-
standing all this, that notable housewife
the Queen of England dined on Christ
mas day from a royal baron of beef"
which had first been publicly exhibited
in Windsor. 1t would be question
aside to discuss the subject of the deli
cate sentiment Of the English public,
which stands in continual state of
thanksgiving that it is not as the Amer
lean public is in the way of interest in
small personal matters, standing in
crowds to gaze with awe at the beef
which the queen will eat. But the sani-
tary part of it is not to be questioned.
and 1t is all matter Of precedent. And
the publicity of the queens Christmas
baron" does not stop there. 1t was
roasted all day before the fire at Wind
sor castle, and many people were al
lowed to visit the kitchen and baste It..

precedent Is stronger than science as
yet.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Sllght losses re-
suited from today's transactions, the stock
market which was irregular and de-
pressed on the resumption of Cuban and
currency agitation at Washington, giving
courage to certain large interests. Recent
professional manipulation Of stocks is
making a market for bonds acquired dur
ing the reorganizations. Western trade
advices continued good and rather re-
fected favorable traffic returns. which
were published today by prominent rail-
road lines. The market had hardly re-
covered from its early hesitancy when
liquidation and short sales were apparent,
with resultant sharp declines. Toward the
close there was somewhat improved tone
and increased activity.
The money market continued to display
extreme east, round amounts being Of
fered on call at 2 per cent. This condition
Of affairs was regarded by some lead
ing exchange interests as offsetttng pos
sible imports, which in a measure would
be justified by the current exchange situ-
alton.
The bond market continued to reflect a
substantial interest which was RESPONSE
BILE for notable improvements in some of
the low grain liens. The aggregate tran
sactions were $3.797,0O0. The government
bond market was neglected, with slight
concessions in bid price in some issues.
