Some P'- ysioIogy.

The muscles of Inc human body ex- ert a force of 534 pounds. The quan- tity of pure water which blood contains in it's natural state is very great; it amounts to almost seyen-eighths. The blood is a fifth Of the weight of one body. A man is taller in the morning than at night to the extent of half an inch or more, owing to the relaxation of the cartridges. The human brain is the twenty-eighth part of the body, but in the horse the brain is not more than the four hundredth.

Gov. Pingree Widens the Breach In
Presidential Official Family.
DETROIT, June 26.-Gov. Pingree to-
day made a statement, brought out by
Washington dispatches which quoted
Secretary Alger as saying that GOV. Pin
gree is for President Mckinley, first. last
and ali the time" Said the governor:
IF Gen. Alger said that, it is his opn-
ion from his point of view. The question
whether 1 am for Mckinley lies with the
president, not with me. If Gen. Alger
knows that President Mckinley is OPP
posed to territorial expansion, and is not
an advocate of the murders and the de-.
struction being visited upon the innocent
Filipinos, he has right to say that l
am for Mckinley. If Gen. Alger is in
formed that Mckinley is opposed to trusts
and to legislation which fosters, creates
and encourages them, and in favor of leg
islation to restrict and suppress them,
then 1 am closer to the opinions of Nc
Kinley than has generally been believed.
If Gen. -Alger Is assured that President
Mckinley is not in touch and sympathy
with the disreputable political methods
of Mark Hanna and his friends, and de-
precates such leadership, then I am for
Mckinley. The question of whether
favor Mckinley is of no consequence In
this senatorial matter, but 1 am for Nc;
Kinley in everything he does which
consider right, and against everything he
does which 1 consider wrong"

SEND MORE TROOPS.
That Is the Advice of Best Generals
of the Army.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Maj. Gen.
Miles is a strenuous advocate of the dis
potch of large reinforcements to Gen.
Otis in the Philippines. Gen. Miles de-
chned to discuss the military situation In
the Philippines other than to say that 1t
WIS Serious" nor would he give any
idea of the number Of troops he thought
should be sent to the Philippines to place
the archipelago under American control.
GEN. Miles, as far back as April, rec
commended that ten of the volunteer regi-
mepts which the president is authorized
to raise under the army reorganization
law be reorganized and sent to Manila
AT that time officers at army headquar-
tiers believed this force would be sufti-
Gent to crush the rebellion. In view of
the strength developed by the insurgents
they are not now so sanguine that ten
regiments are enough. There will be 49,
70O men In the ten regiments, the advisa-
bility of raising which the war depart
nlent is now considering, but we'll inform
ed officers say the force of $4,000 men
which Gen. Otis will have when the REIN
forcements are placed at his disposal will
not be sufficient.
Besides the island OF Luzon there are
many other islands in the Archipelago in
which this government will have to re-
store peace and order, and in the more
AAiiFOi soAiI OiiCS liiCiS are OESdIiiZSu UOu-
les prepared to resist occupation by Amer
lean troops.
Gen. Marcus P. Miller, who recently
arrived from the Philippines, where he
governed Iloilo. has been living here
since his return. Gen. Miller's view as to
the number OF men required for the sub
jugation of the islands is very different
from that of Gen. Otis. He believes that
$1,000 men at least are required; 0,OO0 for
hn troll If T
for the restoration of peace and order in
the other islands.
Gen. Miller's view comedies with Gen.
Lawtons and that of other officers sub
ordinate to Gen. Otis In fact, in other
than administration circles there is dis
position to believe Gen. Otis estimate Of
the number of men required was made
when he knew of the desire of the pres
ident not to raise volunteers If possible
to avoid it. There is no truth In the
story that Gen. Miles has applied to be
sent to Manila. Gen. Miles would not
wish to take any action to displace Gen.
Otis, when that officer is doing all that
he can to Quell the rebellion with the
limited means at his command. Notwith-
standing the report to the contrary, the
president is satisfied with Gen. Otis
course and has no intention of recalling
him.
1t is equally untrue. 1t is asserted by
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn, that Gen.
Otis has cabled that he will be compelled
to retreat unless promptly reinforced.

A meeting in the interests of the con-
solidation of All Saints and Christ Epis-
copal churches was held at All Saints
church last evening, Bishop Gilbert pre-
siding. The meeting was fairly well at
tended. but although it was the unant-
nous sentiment of all present that con-
kolidation was desirable, the meeting
found itself unable to agree upon a feast
BILE plan. In fact, no plan was suggest
ed members of the congregations of
both churches agreeing that immediate
consolidation is impractical
The two churches are over a mile
apart, and in order to effect a union a
new church will have to be built about
midway between the two. At present
this scheme is not considered feasible.
and consequently the matter will be al
lowed to remain in allegiance for some
time to come
Bishop Gilbert asked those present to
work with the idea of ultimate union
constantly in view, and after having the
situation laid before him agreed that
present action was impossible. Christ
church is now without a rector, and no
services are held there with the excep-
ton of Sunday school services. These
will be continued as heretofore.

SOUTH DAKOTA PROTESTS.
Volunteers Should Have Been
Armed With Effective Weapons.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 26.-The
people of Sioux Falls and of South Da-
kota feel that no state of the union has
suffered more than this one on account
or the laundering of the war department
in the matter of insufficient arming of
the volunteer regiments, and as letters
from the South Dakota privates come
from Manila and are published in the
newspapers Of the state, telling of many
matters that have otherwise been kept
from the public, there Is an increasing
demand for a thorough investigation.
Inc friends of the volunteer privates
are going to demand that somebody be
held responsible for sending the boys
against the Filipinos poorly equipped
with old Springfield rifles, when they
might as well have had good weapons.
The loss to the regiment has been heavy,
and 1t is well known that nearly all the
losses In battle occurred while the regi-
ment was so far away from the enemy
that no corresponding loss could be in
hicted on the insurgents. A great num-
Der of the officers fell in battle and there
is no doubt in the minds of their friends
that they were victims of the discrepan-
cy between the weapons of the opposing
armies. If military investigation can
not be had 1t is the intention of the
friends of the regiment to ask for an in
Vestigat1on through congress.
WHdl makes II all the more aggra-
waiting to South Dakota people is the
fact that when the First South Dakota
regiment was being organized in Sioux
Falls, year ago, officers of the regiment
and privates made written request to
Senator Pettigrew against being armed
with Springfield rifles, and Senator Petit
grew went to Washington and made for
NAL protest, in accordance Herewith, at
the war department. He had a stormy
meeting with the late Gen. FIagler, and
afterwards laid the matter before those
higher in authority.
In view of the fact that 1t was not ex-
pected there would be any fighting in the
philippines the regiment was given
Springfield guns of an old pattern When
hostilities commenced last winter Sena-
tor Pettigrew brought up the matter in
congress, and the war department in
sisted that the volunteers were not COM
petent to handle the modern guns.

crops is estimated at 100000.
Many farmers lost their entire crops.
The district suffering most severely
forms a strip twenty-eight miles long
