by and Prof. Worcester.

Washington, Jan. 16. - President
Schurman, of Cornell university, was
at the white house Monday and mad
talk with the president. On leaving,
he said that he had accepted position
on commission of five which is to be
appointed to study the commercial and
social problems of the Philippines. 1t
is now understood that the other mem
bers of the commission will be Ad-
miral Dewey, Gen. Otis, Col. Charles
DENLY and Prof. Dean c. Worcester, OF
Ann Arbor university.
The work of the commission, it is
understood, will be of purely econona-
ic and not of political nature. They
will study the manners and habits of
the Filipinos, the material resources of
the country and its commercial possl-
bilities, but they will not attempt to
deal with the problem of government
for the islands.
The president has been anxious for
some time past to have commission
of this sort upon whose information he
could rely. The personnel of the com

the standpoint of expert knowledge.
Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis have of
course become familiar with many of
the practical sides of the Philippine
problem. Col. DENLY was for many
years minister TO China and is thor.
oughly familiar with the people and
many of the problems of the orient.
Prof. Worcester has lived for years in
the Philippines, hunted with the wild
est of the Moros and Sulus, attended
their tribal rites and studied the po-
litical economy Of the islands at close
range. He has written a book on the
Philippines which is considered q stand
ard rel ference work, and recently con-
tributed San interesting sefies of arti-
cles on the Philippines to the Century
Magazine. President Schurman said
the commission expected to sail for Ma
Mia about the 1st of February.

Turkey Orders Krnpp Guns.

Constantinople, Jan. 16.-An imperial
trade has been issued ordering the
purchase of 16s Krupp field guns and
10000 shrapnel shells. This is un-
doubtedly the outcome of the act of

Turkey with a perfect model of the
most modern Krupp field gun intro
duced into the German army. The Ger
man newspapers, at the time, comment
ed approyingly on the emperor's
shrewdness, which, they predicted,
would result in Turkey sending a large
order for guns to Germany.

Rome correspondent that The standing coun-
Gil of prelates has recommended TO the pope
the separation CT the Latin churches in South
America from the jurisdiction OF the Spanish

Zebra. archbishop of Durango, Mexico, is
untrue and is based partly upon total ignor-
oncG of the ecZlcsiaetica conditions in the
Lftin-American republics and on msappro.
tension of certain facts. Mgr, ZeblrD is re-
turning to Durango from Rome, where he
went 10 attend plenary council OF the Latin
American archbishops which had been con
vened by the pope TO consider the existing
conditions of the church in South America
and Mexico The council was the FIRST meet
ing of The Latin American high church dig
2S to July 20, and was attended by NIFTY
three archbishops. each OF whom presided IN
turn in the name of the pope
Mgr. Zebra said that the question OF sepa-
rating the Latin churches in South America
ana Mexico from the jurisdiction of the Span-
ish prmate was not considered for the simple
reason that no primate exercises control over
these churches
1T is true" said he, that the archbishop
of Toledo in Spain still possesses the title

honorary. and he has no more to DO with the the

here. Mexico and South America are divided

REFLECTIONS.


Poverty is very good preventive In
keeping a man from having the govt.
1t is generally a mans narrow minded
and biased view OF his own mother tat
makes him believe In the divinity of wo-
man.
The best way to gauge woman's Wis
dom Is by what she voluntarily admits she
doesn't know.
Matrimony is mirage; contemplate II
and 1t looks glorious; you never see the
deception until you get into II.
Love is sort of moral blind staggers,
that comes after the Group, collie and
measles.
The woman who marries man to get
rid OF him generally gets rid OF herself.
It's a wise man who chooses his wife
from the seaside.
Just lots OF people get to Heaven via the
Common Sense route.
Too many people hope the wrong way.
Some people court death as means TO
make life OF interest.
The fool that keeps his mouth shut ia
very often taken for wise man.
Never get into the habit of having bad
habits.
Some men have q way OF establishing a
record for veracity by telling each woman
she Is beautiful.
Because OF the infelicity of one woman
some men damn the whole sex.

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Official British Maps Bear out the
Contention of the United states.


New York. August io.--A special to the
Herald from WASHINGTON says:
Clear evidence as to the growth of the
present Canadian contention regarding the To-
cation of the Alaska boundary line can be
found in n comparison OF official British and
Canadian mans. 1t will be seen that Great
Britain has not adopted on the official sharts
issued by hydrographic officers of the admir-
atty the line now contended for by Canada,
but has laid down upon them. with possibly
some slight variations, the Identical line ihat
is contended for by the United States gov
eminent. This is shown bv reference to the
line as traced on the admiralty chart of the
Pacific ocean in the edition OF 1887, aud on
the admiralty chart of Alaskan waters In the
edition of 1898. These lines diner somewhat

Smith, chief commissioner OF lands and

red the line up Benin canal. Aside from
this, his man Followed In a general way the

not until 1925 that the Canadian contention

Martin. the chief commissioner OF lnnds and
works. published man which shows the
present Canadian In its full DEVELOPMENT. He
adopted the theory of his predecessor as to the
Portland channel and ran his line up in the
Benin canal.

coast which the treaty provided should be

leagues therefrom basine his work on the
contention that the treaty meant that
