The Los Angeles Times with It's usual
enterprise, is now running in its Sun
day Magazine section fine translation
of the hitherto inaccessible diary of
Father Crespi, the Franciscan friar,
who, with party of soldiers, made his
first journey through California in
1869. This famous diary is the accu-
rate record of that tour of exploration,
during which sites were selected for
the missions and for the pueblos, which
have since become the leading cities of
California. It's discovery and transla-
tion supplies a most important part of
the early history of California, which
was buried among the archives of the
Catholic Church, and which might
have been forever lost to the world but
for the fortunate discovery which led
to it's translation for The Times. Those

The st. Louis Republic says: When
the United States emancipate them
selves from the shackles which the re.
publican party has put upon their com
merce and when they meet foreign COM
petition with its own methods, then
will the people of this country reap a
harvest of trade and friendship from
the people of Mexico and Central and
South America that is ours by right of
contiguity, superiority and cheapness
in production and all the elements of
natural opportunity. The road that
leads to increased power, influence and
prosperity for the citizens of this re-
public lies rather along the valley of
trade expansion and beside the stream
of international friendship than up the
rugged steep of wholesale territorial
expansion.

Several lsrge prospecting parties
have been fitted out here during the
past week, besides number that have
passed through, bound for Sonora, in
the vicinity of Nacosari This section
of Sonora has never been fully pros
pected, and with the certainty of a
railroad through there it is attracting
miners and prospeceors from all parts
of the country. A number of mines
have been found there which did not
pay to work on account cf the immen g
cost of getting supplies in there. This
obstacle will soon be removed and a
number of mines opened up, thereby
giving employment to number of

President McKinley's war administra-

admiration and commendation; but
unless this blot shall be removed, un-

It app ears that the only portion of
the Philippine Islands surrendered to
Dewey and Merritt was the city of Ma
Mia and its waters. The authorities at
Washington are discussing the question
from an international standpoint, as to
whether they can hold any territory
outside of that surrendered. Mature
consideration of the protocol, as sign
ed, develops many fine points that may
be difficult for the peace commission
ers to agree upon, and may yet invite
the intervention of other powers.

The Spanish soldiers in Porto Rico
sustained to the last their we'll earned
reputation for inhumanity and barbar-
ism. After the surrender of San Juan
they butchered in cold blood several
hundred natives, sparing neither wom-

people is marked by some of the blood
lest and most cruel deeds that disgrace
the pages of modern history.

There are three considerations which
republican politicians appear to dread

PRESS COMMENTS ON ALGER.
Politics and Public Service.

Nothing could be more humiliating
to the country than the talk of con-
gressional investigation of the war de-
partment, but scandals may be expect
ed wherever politics is permitted to
influence the public service. When the
president gave the war portfolio to a
man peculiarly untitled for its manage
ment, in payment of campaign debt
and by way of promoting party inter-
ests, he prepared the way for the ex-
ceedingly unpleasant developments
which have marred the satisfaction at
tending the victories of the army, and
which will subject the government to
unwelcome comments by foreign pow
ers.-Kansas City Star.

Secretary Alger has declined an in
vitation to attend the opening of the
camp at Montauk Point and we don't
wonder at it. There is no fun to be had

sponsible for the lack of these neces-
sities.-Chicago Chronicle.

knew that he would avenge old wrongs

ZUNI DANCES.
Continued from Page Seventeen.

and can be seen nowhere else. But the conclusion of the dance was the most sensational and startling feature of it all.
 At shrill cry from the priest, every l plumed stick was raised on high and instantly thrust entirely down the throats of the dancers, only to be as quickly withdrawn amidst hissing, gurgling sounds and writhing contor- tions, as the chant and time of the dance increased in vigor. Again and again were the wooden blades buried in the throats of the dancers, up to their very hilts. Some of the men were bleeding freely, but all were dancing furiously.
 Then the priest took up the trees, and, poising them for an instant, 1 plunged their sharpened ends into their | gullets, meanwhile uttering the most l horrible guttural cries.
 | It was sight almost beyond belief, | here in the midst of modern civiliza- | tion. It is a relic of an almost forgot | ten age of barbarism, so remote that its original significance will perhaps never be known.
 And in another estufa occurred the l final tests for the fanatics who had 1 danced so many days. Again the | double line was formed; again the l chant was resumed; again the woes of the Zunis were rehearsed, and again self-torture was administered, but this time, worse than before. The medicine man and the priest entered, bearing l bowls of live coals. AS they passed to and fro, along the lines, the dancers caught up the glowing embers in their naked hands and thrust them into their mouths. The hissing of the fire and the smell of scorching flesh was sickening-then the ceremony ended.
