FOR MORE TRANSPORT SHIPS.
War Department Conducting Negotta.
 tiOns-Wanted for Philippines.


 Washington, May 31.-Assistant Sec- retary Meiklejohn of the war depart ment was engaged to-day in negotia- tions for additional vessels to trans- port troops to Manila. However, the day passed without the negotiations being closed in any case. A large number of ships have been offered to the government, but the price asked is higher than the authorities feel called upon to pay and in almost every case counter-propositions are submit ted. The commissaries department is laying in a three months supply for 10000 men at San Francisco, which would seem to indicate that the troops to reinforce Admiral Dewey will ap- proximate that number. It was ru- mored to-day that troops from Iowa, Tennessee and New York and other states had been ordered to San Fran cisco, but the officials decline to say whether these reports were correct.

the arrival of General Shafter's eXpe- dition. It is not believed that Commo- dore Schley would venture to initiate Dewey's feat at Manila.
 Everything, so far as Spain is con- cerned, is, now held to depend on Ad- miral Camara's movements, and unless, as is unlikely, he is able to display masterly skill, it is evident that the bold strategy of the Spaniards will only result in the destruction of their fleet in detail. A second reserve squadron could not be prepared for months, as the vessels recently mentioned by the Madrid press are all in a backward state at Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartagena, except the Numancia, the Victoria and the Dona Maria DeMolina, which could be ready in a few weeks.

Arrangement With Paris Mint.
 Madrid, May 31.+ p. m.-In the chamber of deputies, to-day, Senor Call zado criticised the proposed prohibition of the export of silver and silver money as being useless and urged the govern ment to increase the silver coinage and avert a monetary crisis. Senor Puigcer- yer, the minister of finance, said the measure was intended to prevent the export of the immense quantities of silver money stored in the frontier provinces, adding that if the prohibi- tion was not sufficient, stronger meas ures would be taken. The minister of finance also said the Madrid mint was coining a million pesetas daily, which amount, if necessary, would be increas- ed by an arrangement being made with the Paris mint
 Later.-The chamber passed the law prohibiting the exportation of silver coin. It is feared the measure will fail of the effect desired. The rush on the Bank of Spain to change the notes con- tinues. The authorities, however, have decided to treat as criminal disturbers of the peace all persons who change the notes for pure speculation or to create difficulties for the bank.

EMIGRATION OF RACES.
Feminine Nationaiities Have Emi~
grated In PrOfusiOn Since the
Way Was Opened.

It is the masculine races that emil
crate. The earliest of the great col
onizing peoples, the Pboenicians and
Carthaginians, in addition 10 the
strenuous ferocity" that marked the
Semites. possessed an individual im-
pulse and energy" which Gin Grote's
opinion) put them greatly above the
Egyptians, Assyrians and Hindus.
The Greeks were flexible and many
sided, and, being fractured into hun
dred independent communities, had
a self-organizing faculty which pro-
noted emigration in many directions
and diversified colonization. The man
Hest of ancient races, the Romans,
overlooked equally in colonization and
conquest. The now emasculated Span
iards and Portuguese were, in the fif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, the
most robust Of European nations. In
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles the French were aggressive and
couquering. The long struggle with
Spain made Holland.a nation of heroes.
The English Germans and Scnndina-
VANS are Bismarck's masculine peo-
pies. The Celtic Irish, the Italians
and other feminine nationalities have
smigrated in profusion since emigra-
lion has been made easy.
The emigrating impulse is by no
means diffused equally over the emil
grating races; there are emigrating
sections of these races. The migrat-
ing Aryans, whether starting from
somewhere in Asia" (as Max Muller
still maintains) or from southern Rus
sia (as Schrader con;ends), spread
into every European country. and
forming fringe along the coast,
where they remained as sea rovers, or
crowdiug to its centers, where they be-
came its rulers and its aristocracy,
were the progenitors OF the migrating
/ bands which left these countries in
after years or are leaving them now

SNAPPED BABY FOR DOG.
Mnde by Two New Jer-
Ecy Women.

Any mother knows the compare
tive value of q baby and puppy dog.
1t is infnity to nothing. Yet in New
ark, n. j., deal has just been con-
gummated in which a real, live, plump,
pretty chunk of humanity was
snapped by its mother for a tiny fox
terrier. The person who engineered
the deal was DR.. Matthew T. Gaffney.
DR.. Gaffney tells the following story
of the barter, without giving the
names of the parties;
While a young woman was boarding
at the house of a young couple a child
was born to her. She believed She
would be unable to care for it proper
~, and asked the doctor to find a home
for it. She would not let it 20 to an
asylum. Mrs. f., the landlady, fell
in love with the baby, and said she
would give the world If II were hers.
A few days ago, after the mother had
left Mrs. F.'s house, the doctor saw
there a beautiful fox terrier. lie is

"Whatll you take for it2" he asked
"Wouldn't take $780," Mrs. T. re-
piled. ats the finest bred dog in the
city"
Look here" said the doctor, 81 love
the dog, you love that little baby that
was born here; we'll swap"
Mrs. F. thought lac was testing, When
she learned he was not she capped
her hands in joy and called her hus-
band, who congratulated her, and so
the baby was traded for the pup. The
mother is content with the bargain,
as the doctor turned over TO her as
much money as the pup would cost
if bought in the open market.
