AMERICAN COMMISSION
ARRIVES AT H0NGK0NG

HONGKONG, Feb. 2S.-The Ameri
can commissioners appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley to investigate conditions
in the Philippine Islands arrived to-
day.
They are the guests Of Consul Gen
eral Wildman. and when informed of
the action of President Mckinley in re-
storing to the Cortez family the estates
confiscated by the Spaniards, expressed
their pleasure over such a diplomatic
move on the part of the American
Government.
II believe said Professor Schur-
man, that this one act will do us a
great amount of good. 1t will give the
lie to Aguinaldo and undoubtedly win
over to our side the more Intelligent Of
the Filipinos."
A strong anti-American sentiment
exists here because of the attitude Of
local newspapers, which give much
space to false stories of the alleged in
humanity of Americans. These stories
undoubtedly emanate from the Philip
pine Junta here, and have more or less
effect upon residents. The Junta is ac-
tive and we'll supplied with funds, and
is endeavoring to enlist European adj
venturers hanging about Hongkong.

DR.. JORDAN'S THEORY
HELD BY HISTORIANS
Principle of Natural Selection APP
piled to the Rise and Fall
of Nations

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Feb. 2S.-
DR.. Jordan has received a letter from DIR.
Z. A. Ross, who is spending his years
leave of absence in study in Europe in
which he calls attention to the fact that
historians on the other side of the water
are beginning to make use of the prin-
ciple of natural selection. which President
Jordan has eXpOunded in this country, to
explain certain great historical phenom-
ena
Otto Seech," writes Professor Ross,
'in his work. The History of the De-
cadence of the Ancient World claims per-
verse human selection was the cause of.
mediOcrity in later Greece and cowa rdice
in later Rome. This selection consisted in
the Staying or exile of all the better and
ADLER men in the Greek cities during the
sanguinary struggles between the popular
and the aristoeratic parties. In Rome the
prescriptions of Marius and Sulla Joined
to the blood-letting of the emperors, ex-
terminated the most courageous, so that
congenital cowardce became the char
aCteristic of the decadent Romans
These arguments are almost identical
with those which Dr. Jordan has been
urging against militarism. BY taking the
best men out of the country for purposes
of war. the race, he claims, will in time
degenerate as have the Latin races of
Europe from this same steady drain on
its best blood.

COWARDICE SHOWN
BY A SHIP CAPTAIN
Abandons His Vessel in the Only
Available Boat, Leaving the
Crew to It's Fate.

DARTMOUTH, England Feb. 2S.-The
British steamer Carton, Captain Willis.
from Brunswick via Norfolk for Bremen,
arrived here to-day, having on board the
second officer and six of the crew of the
British bark GaIatia, Captain Lewis, of
ST. John, NJ B.. which sailed from Turks
Island with salt for Boston and was re-
ported February rs to have been aban-
doned, water-logged and dismasted.
The Galatia was deserted on February
Is, at which time she was in a sinking
condition. Previous to that the bark had
experienced terrible weather and had be-
gun to leak rapidly. On February 10 Cap
tain Lewis, the chief officer, the steward,
stewardess and three seamen left her in
the only remaining boat, the others hav-
ing been stove in during the gale. The
boat was lost sight of in a furious gale,
and the second officer considers 1t impossi-
Bile for her to have weathered the storm.
The same evening the Carton hove into
sight and took off the remainder of the
crew of the Galatia at a great risk. The
high seas running prevented the boat
launched by the Carton from approaching
the bark, so the men on board the latter
donned cork jackets and were hauled
through the water.
Captain Lewis, according to the second
officer. took with him all the provisions
and left the remainder of the crew on
board the sinking ship, although, he adds,
there was room for all in the boat, which
hung about the bark until 100 p. m. and
then rOWed off.

DAMAGE WANTED
FOR BRlTONS SLAIN

LONDON, Feb. 2S-The Manila Rail-
way Company has received a cable dis
patch from Manila, dated February q.
saying the railway has ceased working
as a means of public conveyance. the
Americans using the line to convey
troops to Caloocan. The railway was
not damaged by the recent fires.
In the House of Commons to-day
Hon. Philip Stanhope, Radical. asked
the Government whether attention had
been called to the British subjects at
Manila, and whether the circumstances
there were such as permitted friendly
representations to be made to the
United States to procure pecuniary
compensation for the families of those
whose lives were lost.
Mr.. Broderick, representing the For
eign Office, replied that the British Con-
sui at Manila had reported the fact
and would doubtless furnish a full re-
port, when the Government would be
able to decide what course to take.
The Filipino agent in London says he
has received advices that Iloilo has
been burned. These advices further
state that the Filipinos at Cebu have
only retired to the hills at the request
of the foreign residents to avoid bonn
bardment of the place by the Ameri-
cans, the foreigners promising to in
tercede with the Americans in behalf Of
the Filipinos with a view to getting
Filipino rights respected.

reports that the schooner Hattie A.
Hickman of Gloucester also had seen

around it, watching for life, but the

Captain Corkum says that when he

Corkum says it was the opinion of him

crew in such a storm as prevailed on
February II and Is were very slight.

ARE WORKING TO
RETAIN HOME TRADE

STOCKTON, Feb 2S-The Merchants
Association is using every influence at the
command of the members to retain the
retail trade here and prevent it going to
San Francisco. The school teachers have
been numerically censured for doing their
Saturday shopping in San Francisco, and
other classes are coming in for their
share. The members now propose to be-
gin an active campaign for the retention
of trade here. AT a meeting last night
resolutions were adopted, of which the
following were a part:
Whereas, After a careful investigation it has
been found that very large percentage of re-
tail shopping and trading is done in San
Francisco by residents of this city and county
whose employment is such that they are at
liberty to make frequent trips to the bay city
Resolved, That this association use all hon
orable means to correct the evil set forth in the
preamble hereof; that the municipal and coun-
ty government departments of this city and
county be, and they are hereby. respectfully
requested to pass resolutions in harmony with
this movement, that this community may re-
ceive lasting benefit thereby.
