It is probably the most re- markable remedy that the scientific research of this country has produced. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.. L. L.

Not Solely to Save or Gain Money

The correspondent of the Associated Press ascertans from Spanish sources be- yond question authentic information that the Philippine question is settled. The Spanish commissioners will declare that they are not here solely to save or to gain all the money possible from the United States Senator Motero Rios, president of the Spanish commission and his colleagues will of course make the best of the situa- tion for the government. They will con- cede that the national guarantee may have been added, but that for all the purposes of this contention the fact is irrevelent. It will then be frankly urged by her com pany that Spain has pawned the revenues of the Philippines and of Cuba; that she did so in good faith to her creditors, and that this being true, that she has no moral right to give away or re-hypothecate ter ritory already pledged.
 Spanish Honor at Slake
 Senor Rios will urge that should Spain take that course her creditors might fairly charge her with defrauding them, to save for herself the Canaries, Carolines and Bearc islands and to avoid possible dam age to the peninsula The Spanish commits soners who protest that such transac- ton would be intolerable to Spain. and it would brand her as robber and poltroon. They will declare to the Americans that rather than be SO pilloried by their credi- tors they will. if they must, be deprived of

pleasant ripple of excitement con-
corning King Alfred the Great is passing
over us. Frederic Harrison. the Lord
Mayor of London and others are appeal
ing to the nation TO commemorate in 1901
the millenary of our Old English hero.
1t is an appeal that should be warmly an
swered, and at such a time 1t is well to
realize how close to the best ideals of cur
own century were the life and character
of this King who lived a thousand Years
ago. OF course, every one has a geuu-
ment of admiration for Alfred; It has
grown up with US from the time i'm the
nursery when we looked at the pictures
in Little Arthur" But, in spite of tire
later and more enlightened histories of
Green and Freeman, there are many IF US
who stll think only of Alfred as far away
in misty times before the landmark of he
Norman conquest. We recall burnt cakes,
obscure battles with Danes hardly less b.
scure, or the myth of trial by jury But
battles long ago" and pretty stories are
not the foundation upon which Alfred's
claim to honor is built His own words
tell the secret: Il wished to live worIAly
while | lived, and to leave to the men who
came after me my memory in good
works" This was his single minded aim,
and he accomplished It, To the student
of his HE and work he more and more

ting of land; practical and inventive,

private life, and moreover, so human In
all his strivings, that. while, on the one

But though In aim and character he was

pie. His career as king may be summed
up in few words. He came 60 the throne in

now lying before Santiago. it might pc
concluded that we should no longer pc

the way cleared. 1t is gathered here that
that was the conclusion reached at the
conference between Shafter and Sampson.
Sampson reported briefly just after the
conference but the Department has not
been able TO communicate with him since
and it is feared that wire troubles exist
that will prove embarrassing at this juno
ture. Shafter has said nothing about

the conclusion plain, that he waits the re-
inforcements
All the Spanish naval officers captured
by the American feet, are to be confined
within the limits of the Naval Academy
grounds at Annapolis. They will be
placed in the quarters vacated by the
American naval officers, who left the
Academy to go into active service, and
will be treated with the greatest consid-
