Senator John M. Thurston says he
has proposition to make for the dis
posal OF the postal savings funds if a
postal bank bill should go to congress.
The reinvestment of the deposits is the
stumbling block in the path of the bill,
he says. To invest the money in our
interest bearing bonds is at best only a
temporary expedient. Mr.. Thurston
wants the money put into great sys-
tenn of international improvements,
which will give the commerce of the
west a waterway from the Mississippi
river to the Atlantic seahord.
Mr.. Thurston would revive the Hen
nepin canal project. But he would go
farther than the advocates of that
canal. They wanted the government

WHAT Is LIFE?

Mr.. Herbert Spencer's definition oil
| the nature of life implies, as is well
known, a continuous adjustment of in
ternal to external relations. In other
words, vitality is preserved by in-
teractions going on between the con-
stisuents of the protoplasm. On the
face of it this view must be very ma
terially modified in the light of some
exceedingly interesting experiments
recently brought to the notice of the
Royal society by Mr.. Horace Brown,
whose classic researches on that in
teresting class of ferments the engines
are we'll known. He has found that
by submitting seeds to the very low
temperature of evaporating liquid air
i e., from 1873 degrees G. to-192 de-
grees C.-for ITO consecutive hours,
any way impaired.
Since the above temperature is con-
siderably below that at which ordinary
chemical reactions take place the re-
suit is very remarkable and would ap-
pear to show that although q state OF
complete chemical iucertness in pro-
tOplasm may be established it does not
necessarily lead to destruction of its
potential activity. Is the protoplasm
to burst into activity on restoring
favorable conditions? If SO, what be-
comes of life during the ''rest?" These
observations are also of interest in con-
nection with the suggestion of Lord
Kelvin that the origin of life as we
know it may have been extra-terres-
trial and due to the "mossgrown frag-
mepts from the ruins of another
world' which reached the earth as
meteorites.
That such fragments might circulate
in the intense cold of space for per-
fectly indefinite period without pre-
JUDGE to their freight of seeds or
spores is, Mr.. Horace Brown remarks,
almost certain from the facts we know
about the maintenance of life by ''rest-
ing" protoplasm; the difficulties in the
way of accepting such hypothesis
inly do not lie 10 this direction.
Here is an interesting problem for
biologists, and the developments of the
question will be followed with the
keenest nterest.-Lancet.

converts, their conversion does not go
very deep; that the work of the mission
ary is more difficult in China than any,
where else in the world, and the results
are poorer. Many of the Chinese are
outspoken enemies of Christianity, and
even the rulers who are outwardly
friendly are secretly opposed to all mis-
sionary efforts.
This opposition, the baron says, is not
merely religious; it is because Christian
Iity stands for European culture and man
ners, to them. "J3ut this much Is cer-
tain," he says, "that with the missions
stand or fall all hopes of our entering
the interior of China peacefully, and,
therefore, the powers should unite in
protecting all of the missions, irrespec-
tive of nationality or sect. This can be
done effectively by cannon alone, not by
diplomacy. The Chinese must be made
to respect Europeans as such. 1t is a
notable fact that since the war with
Japan prosecutions of Christians have
increased, and this is doubtless due to
the influence of Japan. The Chinese
mandarins are afraid of losing their hold
upon those converted to Christianity,
and they therefore encourage these anti
missionary outbreaks. 1t is not enough
to impose fines for these outbreaks
cannon and soldiers are far better."-

A VALUABLE FABLE
Republican Horse Talks Horse Sense
to a Populistic Mule

To horse and mule stabbed together
was given bag of wheat and a bag of
chaff. The horse, who was dividing the
feed, filled the mules trough with chaff,
but poured the wheat into his own.
Hold on" yelled the mule, what are
you givin' me?'
why" replied the horse, IT heard you
say last year when you were trampine
along in the Populist procession, that il
Mckinley was elected wheat wouldn't
be worth any more than chaff. I sup
posed, as Mae was elected, that you
would just as leave have the chaff."
And the mule remarked refiectively,
as he slowly famed himself with his
left ear: Last year 1 followed the ad-
vice of my father, who is a Populist, but

Rivalry Between Aguina1do
and Pillar Partly the
Cause.
Attitude of the Native Leaders
Tends to Injure the Cause

by Jane Gordo Bennett
BY SOL N. SHERIDAN.

MANILA, Sept. 8.-The attitude of
the Philippine insurgent leaders is daily
becoming more dangerous. SO open is
thorities that the situation is strained,
and reconciliation may be difficult.
What makes the situation more
troublesome is the undisguised rivalry
between the followers of General Agui-
naldo, the elf-proclaimed dictator, and
General Pho Pillar, who covets' the hon.
or Aguinaldo has acquired.
General Pho Pillar is in command of
the insurgent troops stationed in South
Manila. He uses them in a way that
will be most annoying to Agulnaldo,
and at the same time he makes every
effort to show his utter disregard of the
American officials. His forces continue
to patrol the city, encouraging lawless-
ness in every direction. They are con-
stantly annoying the American troops,
who are engaged in the difficult task
OF preserving order.
Aguinaldo's course Is no less annoy
ing. He no longer. attempts to conceal
his hostility to the officials who repre-
sent the United States. Yesterday he is
sued an order prohibiting bis soldiers
from entering the Americanilines This
course is probably deemed necessary in
order to prevent them becoming well
disposed toward the Americans. so as
to destroy his power by repudiating his
leadership.
The attitude Of the rival leaders can
not fail to injure the cause of Philippine
independence 1t will certainly pre-
vent the presentation of strong case

PRESIDE TROOPS MAY

NEW YORK, Sept 8.-A Washington
special to the Journal says: AS ar
ranged tonight orders have been given
for all troops at the Preside at San
Francisco, about 1000, to proceed at
once to Honolulu. But the transports
carrying them are not to return 1t is
believed by those who should know
that these transports will not stop at
Honolulu longer than day, and will
at once steam, across the Pacific to Ma
Mia So grave is the situation that or
ders were given at the White House
that none of the officials of the War
Department should give out any infor-
NATION on the subject.
After consultation at the White
House this morning it was stated at
the War Department that the troops at
San Francisco would be hurried to
Honolulu. The troops designated for
this service are the First Washington

tration officials have had no recent
cause to feel that critical condition
OF affairs was near at hand with the
insurgent forces of the Philippines. 1t
will be recalled that MAjor General
Merritt, before starting for Paris, adj
Vised the insurgent leader Aguinaldo
that the authority of the United States
in and about Manila must be respected,
and that in the interest of a quiet and
orderly administration of affairs it was
desirable for the insurgents to vacate
the suburbs Of the city within rea-
Sonable time
At that time Aguinaldo gave assur-
ances of cooperating wit the Ameri-
can forces toward the maintenance of
order, and there has been no reason to
believe that his adherents would give
serious opposition to their removal
from the suburbs. The time within
which the movement is to be accom-
plished has not expired, according to
the understanding, and a satisfactory
arrangement is expected before the
time arrives.
In the meantime no reports have
come from General Otis, who is Acting
Governor in the absence of General
Merritt, as to friction with Aguinaldo
over his retirement.
Reports have been circulated that
the President received a dispatch from
General Otis yesterday saying that he
had given Aguinaldo until to-day to
vacate the suburbs or else take the
consequences. This is erroneous, how
ever as no such crisis has been report
ed by General Otis, and the reports ap-
pear to have grown out of the original
orders given by General Merritt.

cles over our relations with the insur-
gents, as the American officers at Ma

OTIS HAS NOT ASKED
FOR REINFORCEMEMTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following. President Mckinley has
formally approved the course pursued
by Major General Otis, commanding
the American military force in Manila,
in his treatment of Aguinaldo and the
insurgents whom he commands. This
approval was communicated to Major
General Otis, and was in response to
cablegram he sent showing that a dis
quieting condition exists in Luzon. The
contents of General Otis dispatch are
withheld from publication by the de-
partment officials, but 1T was stated
positively to-day that the American
commander had not asked for addi-
tional troops, and there is no present
intention of reinforcing his command.
The most the department proposes to
do is to send several regiments to
Honolulu from which point they can
be transported to Manila.
Under the instructions sent to Gen
eral Otis he is directed to compel the
insurgents to recognize the cessation
of hostilities agreed to between the
United States and Spain, and require
Agufnaldo and his forces to recognize
the military occupation and authority
of this Government.
A great deal of confidence Is ex-
pressed by the administration officials
of the ability of Rear Admiral Dewey
and Consul Williams to handle Agui-
naldo without any resort to force, but
at the same time 1t is felt that it will
be part of wisdom to prepare for any
emergency that may arise. For that
reason troops will be sent to Honolulu,
where they will be 1900 miles nearer to
Manila, and the battle-ships Oregon
and Iowa will be sent to the Pacific to
be in a position to reinforce Rear Ad-
miral Dewey whenever the occasion de-
mandS.
