Governor J. Hoge Tyler. on the question
Of the terms on which the United States
should grant peace to Spain. and what
disposal we should make of Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines. is quoted by
the New York Journal as follows:
81 am firmly convinced that our govern
ment should consider no negotiations that
do not include the retention of Porto Rico
AS to the Philippine Islands. there APP
pears to be room for further elaboration.
1t may not be either desirable or polite
for us to assert a claim for more than
necessary coaling stations In those
islands. The indications are, though, that
the effects Of this wal will be more far
reaching in extending and broadening the
lines to civilization than the most astute
statesmen have yet considered. The
United States and England are both ma
tons which Slave taFen front rank In
these enlightened and humane directions.
Whether these well-known positions OF
the great nations named shall have any
thing to do with the determination Of the
future of the people of the Philippine
Islands remains to be seen. II is not i'm
possible that the sentiment of the people
of this country may incline the govern
ment TO consider this phase or the ques-
ton when it comes to accept terms OF
peace with Spain. The question of the
Philippine Islands now appears to be one
which will be left for future considera-

Examples of Hindoo Cruelty.

The correspondent who sends the fol-
lowing to The Calcutta Asian states
that his information came to him on
unimpeachable authority. During a
royal hunt in one of the Rajpoot States
an exceptionally fine tiger was caught
melted, no doubt-and lured into a
cage; his captors then proceeded to
moose his feet and draw them through
holes bored in the floor of the cage,
and a blacksmith was directed to draw
his claws. The tigers legs having
been secured by ropes, the royal sports
men had a sliding door in the cage
opened, and when the captive put his
head out they shut the door down on
his neck while the blacksmith, with
mallet and chisel, broke off his teeth;
preparations were concluded by muz-
zling the poor brute with strong wire
in some inhuman fashion. The tiger
was then released, to be baited by
dogs, and, despite his MANNED condi-
| ton, he killed several before the
"sportsmen'' wearied of the game and
| shot him.
| If this story is true, and the infor-
nation is said to have come from an
eyewitness-and there is nothing impoS-
! sible in the crippling part of the bus
iness-one would dearly like to take
each of those Rajpoot royalties in turn
and read him a lesson with a cutting
whip. Natives have singular ideas
concerning the use of Gagged tigers. Al

Henriette's early efforts We're all un-
availing. First she attempted the thing
which lay to her hand; she went back
to Treguier with her mother and Ern>
est and tried to set up g. school in
their old home. Then in 1885, she
started for Paris, as governess In an
establishment for young ladies. Before
leaving her dear Treguier on this desc
late adventure, she received an unex-
pectedly brilliant offer of marriage
from a man, much her elder, who felt
the charm and rare devotedness of this
fra gile creature. But a hint that he
did not mean to espouse her relations
alarmed the high-s strung Henriette and
sent her off at a tangent on her career
of self sacrifice. She felt, it seems,
some inclination for the kind and
wealthy neighbor who shared her
tastes and who offered her a Breton
home. But, her fathers debts-but,
Ernest's future! How could she for

Percy's Narrow Escape.

second avenue, with a pout He's
perfect stick. The idea of his coming
here regularly every week and then
dropping off suddenly to come at long
intervals, just when ii suits him. I'll
show him. Remember, mamma, If he
calls I'm not IN, and if he asks me TO
go any place I'll tell him that 1 have
previous engagement. l never did care
snap of my finger for him, anyhow"
and there were tears In her eyes, just
as an evidence of good faith
Never mind, dear" consoled the
mother, who had been through the mill
herself It's not worth worrying
over"
I'm not worrying, and don't you dare
to think that I'm worrying, either. The
best Percy will ever get from me Is
cold bow of recognition when we hap
pen to meet. AS for our being friends
any more, that is simply out Of the
question. There goes that telephone"
and the mother could not help hearing
the home end of the conversation.
"Oh, hello, Percy; knew your voice.
Have a cold, haven't you? That's too
bad This unreasonable weather has
made so many people sick. Saturday
night? Won't that be charming. Moth
ing could please me more. At 8 o'clock?
I'll be ready. It's awfully kind of you.

Then she whistled her own accom-
paniment as she danced back to her
mamma, who made innocent inquiry.
