PHILIPPINES CLIMATE

Amos K Fiske contributes to the
New York Times an article on the Phil
ippines of peculiar interest because it
embraces discussion of climatic condi-
lions. And these, it must be admitted,
are a most important consideration.
Mr.. Fiske declares that Manila in it's
hottest season is cooler than our north
ern cities in their hottest season. The
average temperature is lower than that
of July and August in New York.
The period of greatest humidity is not
the period of greatest heat, so that
heat and humidity do not combine at
their worst to produce discomfort.
Rains in the rainy season are not in
cessant. In the autumn there is a per-
iod of delightful weather when the at
mosphere is clear and dry, and the tenn
perature ranges from 81 to 70 degrees.
All this is at Manila, on the sea level,
where tropical heat is supposed to be
most severe. But there is a great va
riety of surface and of altitude" MAX
ing all sorts of meteorological condi-
tions. at is the universal testimony
that the climate is healthfuI.'
"In Short Mr.. Fiske concludes, ''the
climate is more equable and salubrious
and fully as we'll adapted to sustained
energy as in our gulf states.''
American methods ought to thrive in
the Philippines as well, practically, as
in Hawaii. The backward condition of
the islands is not due to climate, but to
Spanish sloth, and to the systematic
robbery that has taken from the native
the fruits of his toll and deprived him
of the incentive to work.
The possibilities of the islands seem
to be Iin1itless, and the tropical climate,
according to Mr.. Fiske, should not
alarm any one.

KANsANs ARE HAPPY.
Colonel Funston Has Taken Command
of His Regiment.

The San Francisco Call, last Sunday,
contained the following:
Colonel Frederick K. Funston, of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment, arrived
Yesterday and took command of that
body of troops, relieving Lieutenant
Colonel Little. Colonel Funston is small
of stature of swarthy complexion and
wears a closely cropped Vandyke beard
and a small mustache. His features
are clear cut and his eyes as keen as
those of an eagle. He is 80 years Of
age. was born in Ohio, but of recent
years has lived at lola, Kansas.
over two years ago he entered the
Cuban army, with the rank of captain,
and served under Maceo. After the
death of that officer he was major and
lieutenant colonel under Calixto Garcia.
He has engaged in twenty-four pitched
battles in Cuba with the SpaniardS and
has been shot through the breast by
bullet from a Mauser rifle. One of his
arms was also broken by piece of
shell, with which he was struck during
one of the battles
As soon as Colonel Funston was mus
tered into the United States service he
was ordered on detached duty with the
bureau of information under General
Shafter, then at Tampa, and was later
retained as a special adviser by General
Miles.
In speaking of the method of warfare
in Cuba, Colonel Funston stated that
it was all more or less OF a guerrllla
nature, but in the larger engagements,
in which he participated, an extended
order. somewhat similar to the kind
employed by the United States troops,
was used by the insurgents.

WILL IMPROVE THE HOME.
Kansas Masons Will Spend $4,000
at Wichita

Wichita, June 24.-The directors Of
the Kansas Masonic home have de-
cided to eXpend $4,000 in new build
ing and needed improvements in the
present one. The directors of the home
are: d. B. Fuller, of Eureka, presi-
dent; Col. H. c. LOOMS, of Winfield;
Mrs. E. E. Port, of BelOit; Col. p. NJ.
Hoisington, of Newton; G.. w. Clark,
of Topeka; E. E. Wellington, of Ellis
worth; J. G. POstlewaite, of Jewell City,
and r. E. Torrington, of Wichita.
There will be a dining room 24X36
feet with wide Veranda surrounding
the building, which will be of the same
material as the handsome building
which now stands as a monument to
the Masons of Kansas. A corridor will
connect the two buildings, which will
make it the same as one huge building.
There will be a basement, a kitchen
and six sleeping rooms on the second
floor New heating apparatus of the
latest improved style will be put in
throughout the building with hot water,
low pressure.
Another very important subject which
was considered yesterday was the pur-
chasing of a Masonic burial ground. AL
though no action was taken, the Masons
are seriously considering the adVlS-
ability of purchasing property on the
west side, outside of the city limits,
where their beloved dead can be in
TERED. Should they buy property there
they intend to spare no expense in
making it the most beautiful place in
the city. They will spare no pains in
planting handsome shrubbery, plants
and trees. Some are in favor of buy
ing plot of ground in one or the other
of the city cemeteries which will be for
Masons exclusively. However, the plan
to get a place of their own seems to be
the more favorable one.

WALLER WILL FIGHT.
Kansas City Negroes Preparing For
the War.

Kansas City, June 24.-The announce
ment that Governor Leedy has decided
to give the negroes chance to enlist on
the second call for volunteers has
caused a considerable stir in Kansas
City, Kas. The negroes were not look
ing for this move, and when it was de-
cided that the officers were to be ne
groes also there was great rejoicing
among them. AS yet very little has
been done toward organizing company
and there is conSidera BILE strife among
some of the leaders for the offices.
John L. Waller, ex-conSul to NADIA
gascar, who has been attempting to or
ganiZe a regiment of negroes ever since
war was declared, has issued a call for
all who wish to join his company to
meet at the armory Friday night. Wall
Ter would like to be made colonel of a
negro regiment and is working hard for
that office. If he cannot land this he
will be satisfied with a captaincy. I'm
der the appOrtionment this city will be
entitled to at least two companies, and
it is thought they can be raised in a
short time. Paul Jones, a negro attor-
ney, is also contemplating organizing
company and will begin work on it
today. He is also looking for com
mission and it is thought he stands a
good chance of landing.
A negro company known as the Gov
ernor's guards has also been revived,
with about fifty men. w. H. Ingram
is captain of the company, and is per-
haps one of the best drilled negroes in
the state. He was formerly in the reg
ular service and was a member of Com
pany B troop, Ninth cavalry, for three
years. During his service he partici-
pated in a battle with the Indians at
Pine Ridge agency in 1890. He was
mustered out of service at Fort Ouch
esne, Utah, in 1892. Captain Ingram
would no doubt be a valuable man to
handle raw recruits. The two lieuten-
ants of the company are Robert Pat
terson and Allen baltimore. These
men, and in fact, all the members of the
we'll drilled ho
ready for active service in a short time
1t is now thought that this company
will be the first mustered in when the
recruiting officers arrive, which will be

Tramps Steal Horse and Wagon
at Salina.
Kansas Masonic Home Will Be
Improved.

Wichita, June 24.-John Graft was ad-
judged insane by a jury of six men on
the grounds that he was violently in
love with woman. Graft is a German
about 80 years of age, and has been a
resident of Wichita but six months.
During that time he boarded with John
Kinseder, who runs German boarding
house at Water street. In Kinseder's
employ is young girl of the same ma
tionality who is a general faVorite of
the boarders.
Since CRAFTS arrival he has been very
persistent in his attention to the young
lady. without, however, inspiring or re-
ceiving any affection in return. This
state of affairs was not pleasing to him
and his jealousy became aroused to
such an extent that he, on several occa-
sions, threatened bodily harm to diff
ferent men who went with her. After
that he would hang around the board
ing house in a silent, moody manner,
laughing at times and breaking into
tears at others, and acting SO peculiar
that Kinseder thought best to have his
sanity looked into. About dozen wit
nesses were examined and all told prac-
tlcally the same story and believed him
to be insane. When Graft was put on
the stand he denied being insane but
admitted that he was very much in love
with the girl. In reply to an inquiry
as to why he did not leave the town and
do it and that some day he might marry
her. The girl denies that he will ever
do anything of the kind and says that
she has no use for him. The jury
brought in a verdict directing that he be
sent to the insane asylum for treat
ment, being subject to temporary fits
of insanity. The case furnishes anoth-
er argument for those who believe love
