In those days It re- quired months and months to cross the continent. Now 1t is the work of four or five days.
 Yet. when we came to talk about an nexing the Hawaiian Islands, the au- vice of George Washington was again repeated, and the older the senator the fonder he was of this advice. Ihese Senators had the idea that the conSt1- tuition. having nothing in favor or It, must contain something, at least In spirit. against it. Of course our fathers had no idea of the growth of the re- public. We have. because with us it is a matter of experience. don see that Alaska has imperiled any or the liberties of New York. We need not admit Alaska as a State unless it has a population entitling 1t to admission, and we are not bound to take in the Sandwich Islands until the people are civilized until they are fit companions of free men and free women. It may be that a good many Of our citlzens will go to the Sandwich Islands, ana that in a short time the people there will he ready to be admitted as a State All this the constitution can stand, and In 1t there is no danger of imperialism
 I believe in national growth. As a rule. the prosperous farmer wants to buy the land that adjoins him, and l think prosperous nation has the am bition of growth It is better to expand than to shrivel; and, if our constitution is too marrow to spread over the terri tory that we have the courage to ac- ouire. why we can make a broader one.

 As to the final destiny of the lsla hd possessions won from Spain, my idea IS that the Philippine Islands will finally be free protected, it may be, tor a long time, by the United States. l think Cuba will come to us for protectoh' naturally, and, so far as l am con cerned, I want Cuba only when Cuoa wants us. I think Porto Rico and some of those islands will belong permanent ly to the United States, and l believe Cuba will finally become part of our republic.
 When the opponents of progress found that they couldn't make the American people take the back track by holding up their hands over the con- stitution, they dragged in the Monroe w allow Spain any longer to enslave her colonists, or the people who had been her colonists, in the New World, that was a very humane and very wise resolve and it was strictly in accord with the Monroe doctrine. For the pur- pose of conquering Spain. we attacked her fleet in Manila Bay and destroyed it. I cannot conceive how that action of ours can be twisted into a violation of the Monroe doctrine. The most that can be said is that it is an extension of that doctrine and that we are now say ing to Spain You shall not enslave, you shall not rob, anywhere that we have the power to prevent it.
 Having taken the Philippines, the same humanity that dictated the dec laration of what is called the Monroe doctrine will force us to act there in accordance with the spirit of that doc urine. The other day I saw in the paper

these polar bands and halos colnclded with the presence Of spots on tIie M euIi' Klein, in our own day, comparing tWen- ty-fiVe years of observations made WIth the greatest care at Cologne by Dl. Garthe has confirmed the tact that these high cirrus clouds and polar hands follow as to their frequency the same laws Ss the spo' on the sun, they succeed each other or even coeAlSt: Many observers of the aurora are or the opinion that the appearance or the aurora depends on the presence or these clouds in the sky, which are in turn due to magnetic disturbances or the earth's photosphere originating III the sun spots There are other evidences that the aurora is intimately connected with material particles in the atnos- phere. like clouds and fog; for instance, when two or more rays in an aurora cross, the light is augmented, or when an aurora makes a fold on ltSe1 as III drapery forms, showing that there are two material ''thicknesses" of the Sub- stance. moreover. the wind also acts on the aurora. which is torn after temDest. showing that the wind has acted upon luminous clouds which are part of the aurora; finally, the presence of clouds seems to favor the formation and development of auroraS. So there is an intimate relation between them.
 The rare phenomenon, St. Elmo's fire (balIs of fire alighting on ship masts and sDars) is frequent during auroraS, but this is about the only form of electric disturbance of the atmosphere occurring during auroras. Andree, in 1SS2-S3, at Spitzbergen, with Mascart electrometer found that before an au- rora. appeared the positive electric po- tential of the air diminished rapidly, and even became negative, as usually happens when it rains; but as soon as the aurora appears the potential takes as before a high positive value, But if must be remembered that the electric potential of the atmosphere, especlaIiy at short distance from the earth, varies constantly in an abrupt and ir- regular manner; so that it would be im- prudent to assume any coincidence, even during an aurora

provision for the holding of colonies or dependencies, such as the Philippines would be; that we can only acquire them as territories, and eventually must take them in as States, with their population of mixed and inferior races. That is hardly an effective argument.
 When this country was an infant, still in its cradle, George Washington gave the child some very good advice; told him to beware of entangling alli- ances, to stay at home, and attend to his own business. Under the circum- stances this was all very good. But the infant has been growing, and the republic Is now one of the most pow erful nations in the world. and yet, from its infant days until now, good, conservative people have been repeat ing the advice of Washington. It was repeated again and again when we were talking about purchasing Louisi- ana, and many Senators and Congress- men became hysterical and predicted the fall of the republic if that was done. The same thing took place when we purchased Florida, and again when we got 1 O0N, 900 square miles from Mexico, and still again when we bought Alaska. These ideas about violating the consti- tuition and wrecking the republic were promulgated by our great and wise statesmen on all these previous occa- 
 seems to have borne the strain. There seems to be as much liberty now as there was then, and in fact a great deal more. Our territories have given us no trouble. while they have greatly added to our population and vastly increased our wealth.
 Besides this, the statesman of the olden time, the wise men with whom wisdom was supposed to have perished, could not and did not imagine the im- provements that would take place after they were gone. In their time, practi- cally speaking, it was further from New York to Buffalo than it is now from New York to San Francisco, and as far as the transportation of intelli- gence is concerned San Francisco is as near New York as 1t would have been in their day had it been just across the Harlem River. Taking into considera- secondary; they are means to an end.

J @ @ e e s @ e @ (s) e O O N9 0 - c) V " Smith, in which he says that if we were to lombard CadiZ we would give up the Monroe doctrine. l do not see the application. We are at war with Spain and we have a right to invade that country, and the invasion would have nothing whatever to do with the Monroe doctrine. War being declared, we have the right to do anything con- sistent with civilized warfare to gain the victory. The bombardment of Ca dig would have no more to do with the Monroe doctrine than with the attrac- tion of gravitation. If by the Monroe doctrine is meant that we have agreed to stay in this hemisphere and to pre- vent other nations from interfering with any people on this hemisphere. and if it is said that, growing out of this, is another doctrine, namely, that we are pledged not to interfere with any people living on the other hemi- sphere. then it might be called viola tion of the Monroe doctrine for us to lombard Cadiz. But such is not the Monroe doctrine. If, we being at war with England. she should lombard the city of New York, or we should bom- bard some city of England, would any body say that either nation had vio- lated the Monroe doctrine? I do not see how that doctrine is involved, whether we fight at sea or on the terri tory of the enemy.
 This is the first war so far as I know, in the history of the world. that has been waged absolutely in the in- terest of humanity; the only war born of pity, of sympathy: and for that req son have taken deep interest in it.
 The Spanish have shown in this con- test that they possess courage, and they have displayed what you miSlt cali the heroism of desperation, but the Anglo-Saxon has courage and cool ness-courage not blinded by passion, courage that is the absolute servant of intelligence The Anglo-SaXon has Q fixedness of purpose that. is never in terfered with by feeling; he does not become enraged-he becomes firm, uu- yielding, his mind is absolutely made up. clasped. locked. and he carries out his will With the Spaniard it is ex- citement. nervousness; he becomes frantic.

justly robbed or savage enough to be rightly enslaved. l think that we should keep the islands, not for our own sake, but for the sake of these peo- pie.
 As far as the Philippines are con- cerned l think that we should endeavOr to civilize them, and to do this we should send teachers, not preachers. We should not endeaVor to give them our superstition in place of Spanish su- perstition. They have had superstition enough. They don't need churches, they need schools. We should teach them our arts. how to cultivate the soil, how to manufacture the things they need. In other words, we should deal honestly with them and try our best to make them self-supportirg and a self governing people. The eagle should spread its wings over those is lands for that and for no other purpose. We cannot afford to give them to other nations or to throw fragments Of tnCm to the wild beasts of Europe. We car- not say to Russia, You may have part" and to Germany, You may have a share" and to France, You take something" and so divide out these people as thieves divide plunder. That will never do.
 There Is. moreover, little sentiment mixed with this matter in my mlnd. Manila Bay has been filled with Ameri- can glory. There was won one oI our greatest triumphs, one of the gre eatest naval victories of the world-won by American courage and genius. We Can- not allow any other nation to become the owner of the stage on which this American drama was played. l know that we can be of great assistance to the inhabitants Of the Philippines. l Know that We can be an unmixed bless ing to them, and that Is the only ar.bi- ton have in regard to those islands. 1 would no more think of handing them back to Spain than I would of butcher ing the entire population in cold blooi. Spain Is unfit to govern. Spain mas al- ways been robber. She has never made an effort to civilize a human be- ing. The history of Spain, l think, is the darkest page in the history of the world
 At the same time I have a kind of pity for the Spanish people. l feel that
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-07

they have been victims-victims of su perstition. Their blood has been sucked, their energies have been wasted and misdirected, and they excite my sympathies. Of course, there are many good Spaniards, good men, good women. Cervera appears to be a civilized man, a gentleman, and I feel obliged to him for his treatment of Hobson. The great mass of the Spaniards, however, must be exceedingly ignorant, and as pas sionate as ignorant. Their so-called leaders dare not tell them the truth about the progress of this war. They seem to be afraid to state the facts. They always commence with a lie, then change it little, then change 1t a little more, and maybe at last tell the truth. They never seem to dare to tell the truth at first. if the truth Is bad They put me in mind of the story of man telegraphing to wife about the condi- tion of her husband. The first dispatch was, Your husband Is well, never bet ter" The second was, Your husband is sick, but not very" The third was, Your husband is much worse, but we still have hope" The fourth was, You may as well know the truth-we buried your husband yesterday" That is about the way the Spanish people get their war news.
 That is why 1t may be incorrect to assume that peace is coming quickly If the Spaniards were normal people, who acted as other fciks do, we might prophecy speedy peace, but nobody has prophetic vision enough to tell what such a people will do. In spite of all appearances, and all our successes, and of all sense, the war may drag on. But l hope not, not only for our sake, but for the sake of the Spaniards them selves. I can't help thinking of the poor peasants who will be killed, neith- CT can I help thinking of the poor peasants who will have to toll for many years on the melancholy fields of Spain to pay the costs of this war I am sorry for them, and I am sorry also for the widows and orphans, and no one will be more delighted when peace comes.
 The argument has been advanced in the National Senate, and elsewhere. that the Federal constitution makes no

white color, vivid tints of red and green. This is one of the finest auroral effects, if not the finest. When one of these crowns forms in the midst or an already existing aurora, all the other lights of the aurora pale, to reappear when the crown is disSipated.
 So much for the forms of the aurora Now as to the colors. The sloW-moVing forms are white, lined with yellow, milky and difficult to define. Rose car mine Is the next most noticeable color. In the rapid moving arcs, crowns, Wreaths and dTaperies, the center Is usually yellowish, one extremity red, the other green. The red is almost al ways toward the lower part and also in the direction to which the ray moves, while the green is above and behind. For instance if a ray darts down from a crown, the lower end will be red, the upper green. These colors will be very brilliant; when the red is very brilliant the green is as intense. The red re- mains longest and fades last. when fog obliterates the aurora finally.
 In high attitudes, Sir John Franklin, McClintock, Weyprecht and others aver that the coloring of the aurora was less strong when the air was very pure and increased when it became foggy. The fine drapery forms are generally seen where seas are open in winter, free from ice, hence subject to fogs, as in Norway, Spitzbergen and Newfoundland.
 The light from auroras is very feeble; only few lines of print can be read; while by the light of the full moon this Is easy. The intensity of the aurora rarely exceeds the light of the moon In her first quarter, even in the arctic regions; this Is corrOborated by Parry, Kane, Hayes, Nordenskiold and others. Auroras are less frequent in the full of the moon, paing in her effulgence. which drowns the auroral display; but some of the brightest have been seen at full moon. Some have said that auroras could be seen in daylight, but this sounds like a ghost story.
 It has been almost impossible to phO- tOgraph the aurora, although In the winter of 1SS2-S3 a Swede at Spitzberg- en claimed to have secured faint image in eight minutes and half. This was done before access was had to the
