AN HISTORICAL STEAMER TURNED
ING A DWELLING,

Mr.. Nathan Goold, in the Transcript,
says that on the west corner of Brackett
and Summer streets stands dwelling
house which would attract little notice
but for the fact that the basis of it was
parts Of the old steamer Chancellor
Livingston. the masterpiece of Robert
Fulton, named for his early and most
powerful friend.
The house seems series Of additions
now. The steamboat was out up at about
the foot of Park and High streets, about
1884, and the house was built by Luther
Keaser, who lived on the next lot and had
OBTAINED parts of the old vessel to com
mence his work with. The floor Of the
lower corner room was carried there
whole and the sheathing on the house
came from the steamer, as did doors,
windows and side lights. Additions have
since been made to the house but there is
considerable of that famous steam boat
thus preserved. The lower corner room
was occupied by Ebenezer johnson as a
store for several years.

nations. Let us not at the very first
temptation show the insincerity of our
protests. We are bound to do our utmost
to establish just and stable government
in place of the oppressive system Of mis-
rule which we have overturned. So far,
as by the destruction of the Spanish fleet
and the capture of Manila, we have, in
cidentally, as it were, upset the only gov
ernmment that existed in the Philippines.
we are morally bound to protect the vari-

DIALECT OF THE PHILIP PINES.
(Scientific American.)

According to a Spanish missionary,
who resided eighteen years in the Philip
pines, there is no language that is COM
mon to all the islands, but each canton
has dialect, peculiar to itself. All these
dialects, however, have some affinity,
somewhat like that which exists between
the Italian dialects of Lombardy, Sicily
and Tuscany. On the island Of Luzon
there ara six dialects, some of which are
current in the other islands. The most
universal are the Tagala and Bisaya. The
later is very coarse, while the former is
more polished and peculiar, and to such a
degree that Roman Catholic missionary
who had thorough knowledge of every
thing pertaining to the islands was &C.
customed to say that the Tagala language
had the advantages of four of the
principal tongues of the world; that it
was mysterious, like the Hebrew; that it
had the articles of the Greek, as we'll for
appellation as for proper nouns; that it
was as slegant and copious as Latin, and
that 1t was as we'll adapted as Italian for
compliments and negotiations.
The natives make use OF but three
vowels, and have but twelve consonants,
which they express differently by placing
a dot above or below them. They have
learned from Europeans to write from left
to right instead Of from top to bottom as
they formerly wrote.
Palm leaves were formerly used for
paper, and an iron style for pen. They
use writing for correspondence only. as
they have no books of science or history.
The missionaries furnish the religious
works printed in the various dialects of
the islands.
The natives ofithe Moluccas have very
pleasing way of corresponding with their
friends. They arrange flowers Of different
colors in a bouquet in such way that
the receiver understands by examining
the varieties and their shades (which
represent SO many characters) what his
friend intended to say to him.

OF course the United States will not
accept arbitration to determine the mean
ing of the words disposition and control"
in the protocol. The Spaniards sooner or
later will have to accept the meaning NE
put upon them. 1t is to be regretted.
nevertheless, that We did not make our
Intentions in regard to the Philippines as
clear in the protocol as those relative to
Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t is said that at
the time the protocol was signed the gov
srnment was undecided, but if our pur-
pose in taking the Philippines is to
perform duty which we owe to civ
ilization then there ought never to have
been any indeoision. This duty should
have been just as clear then as now.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-11-17

Gen. Arolas. who figured prominently
in. the recent lnutiny of Spanish soldiers
in Havana, was governor Of Sulu in the
Philippines some years ago. Prof. Dean
G. Worcester tells about him in his book
on the Philippines. "He was strictly
just" says Prof. Worcester. "but abso-
lutely merciless He is the only man
who ever cowed the Sulu pirates, and it
would be well for us if he were keeping
them in order at the present juncture,
and If by any chance, the Philippines
should become part of the territory of the
United States, we cannot do better, in
dealing with the Malay pirates of the
southern islands, than to carry out the
policy which Gen Arolas initiated"
What that policy was we get pretty good
IDEA from the directions Arolas gave Prof
Worcester whsn he set out to hunt outside
of the town: eff you meet armed Moros
outside the town. order them to lay down
their arms and retire; if they do not obey
instantly shoot Them This was Arolas's
method of extending civilization, and
Prof. Worcester thinks we shall have to
follow it.
