Ratification Doubtful.

Dispatches from Washington, from
parties favorable to the treaty, state that
it is now probable that the Spanish
treaty cannot be ratified, unless some
amendment is adopted declaring that
our Government does not intend to per-
manently hold the Philippines. The
opposition is strong enough to defeat it.
unless some such concession is made.

to develop Sambos vocal organs
After careful examination, Mr.. Bucl
concluded that these were perfect anc
capable Of the power of speech. Th,
method employed to teach the monk,;
to speak he is not dcsirous of giving
in detail. He says, however, it con
sists OF parts Of each of the methods
used to teach birds, feeble minded
children and the blind, deaf and
dumb.
Although Sambo is hardly of an age
to grasp the advantage Of speech, his
trainer considers that even a year Of
unavailing effort will not be time
wasted, as he is confident that as
Sambo grows older he will learn the
Language. Athi present age, 9 years,
Sambo is very nearly as far advanced
as most babies, as he uses the woid ds
mamma" and come back" Mrs.
Buck has petted Sambo to such an
extent that il she leaves the room he
will cry continually, Mamma" and
on her temperance will say distinctly,
Come back"
Dir. Buck admits it will require
time, labor and patience to get any
thing like vocabulary Of words, to
say nothing Of teaching Sambo TO put
them together intelligently. While
his trainer does not hope to make an
accomplished orator of Sambo, he feels
very sure that within reasonable
time he will be able to show to the
scientific world simian who speaks
in the English tongue. Such sounds
as Sambo is learning to use are abso-
lutely foreign to the natural cultural
sounds OF the ourang- outang.
Dir. Buck has made arrangements
with an East Indian trading house to
bring over wild simisn at least once
year, SO that Sarnbo may not forget
his mother tongue. Should the ef
forts to educate the monkey to speak
prove successful, the time may come
when Sambo will act as interpreter be-
tween man and the missing link.
Sambo is what is known as cage
bred animal. His parents were cap
tured when young and tanned in cage
by the Rajah Of Somabayc. So Sambo
has never known a wild existence,
which may account for his genial and
tractable disposition.

to the effect that Mayor Woodward,
Of Atlanta, also is trying to lay his
burden upon the shoulders of ex-Sec-

the Atlanta Mayor, according to this
story, II did not let drop pass my

party visited Atlanta, the mayor was
compelled to sit at the banquet table
with the city's guests. "Seated at the
big round table," he says, with Sec
retary Alger on one side and General
Shafter sitting in front of me, my en-
thusiasm got the better Of my discre-

Says She Saw Heaven.

| WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. 10
Mrs. Alexander Taylor, widow 80
years old, of Toronto, near here, has
been slowly dying Of consumption Cor
week. Yesterday morning she be-
came unconscious. A doctor was
called and pronounced her dead, and
funeral preparations were begun.
About midnight her friends were as
tonished to see Mrs. Taylor move, open
her eyes and ask for water.
She asked, it is said, that favorite
niece, who lives in Iowa, be summoned
at once to receive message from her
mother, who has been dead several
years. Mrs. Taylor says her spirit
was disembodied and scared through
space till brilliant and beautiful
grove was reached. Here angels were
flying about, guarding what seemed
the entrance to Heaven. She was re-
fused admittance, but was allowed to
converse at short distance with her
husband. who died last winter, and
with her sister, the mother of the fa-
vorite niece.
The message sent for the niece she
refuses to disclose, except to the
young woman. Mrs. Taylor says she
was promised that she should come to
Paradise very soon. Mrs. Taylor is
an educated, sincere, Christian wo-
man and is in ecstacy over the belief
that she will soon join her friends
gone before.
The niece has been telegraphed for.
Mrs. Taylor cannot live more than a
few days.-Ihiladelphia Press.
