SPANISH ARE RECONCILED.
Philosophical Resignation Is tn
Dominant Tone of the Press.

LONDON. Aug l6.-Thc Madrid CORE
spondcnt of the Times says.
The dominant tone of the press comment
is a philosophical resignation. The edu-
Gated classes are not making any attempt
tu find scapegoats or TO console themselves
with vituperation of the victorious enemy.
The colonies. instead of enriching, have
Impoverished the country. Columbus in
discovering the new world. was no, SPANS
bencfactor. but her evil genius. Therefore.
one leading paper opposes the suggestion
that his remains should be brought home
from Havana.

VENICE HIGH AND DRY.
From The London Chronicle.

Absence of water in the East En- does not AFFECT
the aesthetic eye. but Venice without It's waters
would be a Gar less picturesque place than II actu-
ally is And such state OF affairs We are led 20
believe may eventually come about. The regular
increase In the delta OF the Pc has been studied by
Professor Marinelli. Comparison of the Austrian
man of about 1893 with the records of surveys mace
in 1898 shows that the mean annual increase curing
those seventy years has been about three-tenths or
a square mile: and from all known data II appears
that the total increase during six centuries mas
been about 1875 square miles. The increase Is con
tinlling and the Gulf Of Venice is doomed in time
10 disappear. No immediate alarm need, however.
be excited for Professor Marnelli calculates mat
entire Northern Adriatc will have become dry

FOUR DAYS EACH WEEK
That Is All Cigar Makers Will
Work in Manila.
WANT WAGES INCREASED
The Demand for the Product Is in Excess
of the Output-A Strike Probable.
Three Parties in the Phil
ippine Congress.

Manila, Sept. 17.-All of the cigar
makers here have notified their en-
ployers hat they will cease work alto
gether unless their wages are increased.
They had already refused to work more
than fou days each week. The EN-
ployers on September Is had agreed
that the employees could work full time
as the demand for the product was
greatly in excess of the output. The
employees. howevr. refused to accept
this condition and they will probably
go on a strike.
The Philippine national assembly,
which was i~naugurated at Malolos yes
terday, continues in session and is pro-
ceeding with the work of appointing
committees, formulating rules of pro-
cedure and other routine matters.
The assembly to-day unanimously re-
solved to reject the proposal of a joint
Standardization protectorate over
the Philippine lands or anything of
a Spanish nature
There are three parties represented
in the assembly, one favoring absolute
annexation and another absolute indie
pendence, while the third is formed of
compromise annexationists, who appar-
emily predominant and who suggest in
ternal autonomy.
The assembly will ~proba bly, conclude
its discussion of this matter in a few
days. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader.
is reticent in regard to the pending
questions.

LIVE TOPICS FROM ABROAD.

Among other Inconvenience of the
war with Spain to the conquered coun-
try is one of a sentimental cast. Many
Spaniards now look forward with pain
to the possible removal from Havana
to the United States OF the bones-or
ashes-of Columbus. These, II is well
known, lie in the cathedral in the Gu
ban capital. Their history is a matter
Of deep interest. il may be assumed, to
all Americans.
Columbus died on Ascension day, 1906,
i'm Nalladolid. in Spain. He had often
expressed a desire to be buried in San
Domingo. but his wife. Johanna, did not
respect his wish, being so unhappy at
the thought of separation even from the
lifeless body OF her husband that wher-
ever she went after his death she carried
with her the moldering corpse. Upon
her death ii was placed in the church
