James A. King, of the whaling vessel
Spree, which sails out of San Fran

ENGLAND ACCEPTS PLAN.

Commission VIII Investigate samoan
Trouble and Report to Powers.
A Washington dispatch says: Lord
Salisbury has accepted the plan pro-
posed by Germany for the settlement
of the Samoan trouble by the appoint
mont of a tri-partite commission. The
acceptance is on the broad principle
only, and the details of the arrange
ments are yet to be agreed upon. AS
the United States has already accept
ed the general proposition there is no
longer doubt as to the organization Of
the commission.
1t is not believed in Washington
that there will be any difficulty in ar
| ranging the details of the commission
plan for the settlement of the Samoan
trouble arising from reluctance on the
part of the British government to
throw aside the Berlin treaty.
The state department does not ex-
pect that it will be necessary to go far
outside of the lines of that convention
to secure n satisfactory adjustment of
the present difficulties. AS there ap-
pears to be an apprehension that the
proposed commission may not be
limited in it's functions sufficiently to
meet the British ideas it may DO said
that the plan in contemplation safe
guards all essential points.
1t is proposed that the commission
shall visit the islands, make careful
inquiry into existing conditions and
then apply such remedial measure as
may seem to be necessary to insure
tranquility. 1t will be purely tenn
porary in character and subject to the
approval of the three governments
party to the Berlin treaty.
Then the commission will be ex-
pected to frame n scheme for submis-
sion to and approval by each of the
three powers for the future govern
ment of the islands, involving perhaps
some more or less radical changes in
the original Berlin treaty.
Neither of the three governments,
therefore, chances the loss of any sub
stantial interest in the Samoan group
by accepting this commission plan,
and this is probably the explanation
of the announced acceptance by the
British government of the principle Of
the commission plan.
The president has not yet made a
selection of commissioners who shall
represent the United States govern
| ment, hut decision is expected very
soon.

Microbes Set Fire to Havs.ucks.

There have been many theories to
account for the spontaneous combus-
ton OF haystacks. This phenomenon
is now ascribed to microbe which
breeds in the close, moist atmosphere
of the hay and causes a fermentation
which generates heat, and finally
ignition. Herr Benesch, who has an
experimental farm at Meirhof, has
long been making tests of hay under
various conditions of moisture and
pressure. During his experiments ne
discovered a method by which farmers
can always be cognizant of the state
of the interior Of the stack. He has
devised kind of long form, by which
sample of hay can be drawn from
any part OF stack at any time and
examined, to see whether it is abnorm-
ally warm OF net.-St. Louis Globe

STARTLING INCREASE OF CRIME.
Judge Hillyer, of Georgia, Presents Fig
urcs at Baptist Convention.

Judge Hillyer, of Georgia, Presents Fig
ures at Baptist Convention.
In the Georgia state Baptist conven
tion held in Savannah, Judge John
Hillyer, ex-mayor of Atlanta and for
merly on the superior court bench,
presented a report from the committee
on crime and lynchings.
After reading the report the judge
gave some startling figures upon the
increase of crime, urging the conside-
ration of the question upon the church,
and suggesting that, as the law was
slow, the Legislative body be appealed
to to note the facts and figures and to
urge action upon that body.
Judge Hillyer said that in the United
States there were more homicides than
in Scotland, England and Prussia. The
matter had been brought before the
bar associations in 1894 and 1896. In
1894 there were 5000 homicides in
the United States, and in 1896 there
were 10000. In the past year more
homicides were committed in the
United States than men were killed in
Cuba and more than fell Mt Gettys-
burg or in the Philippines. People
were losing confidence in the laws
slowness and lack of interest in the
public minds.
The press has been remarkably
quick in bringing the matter to the
attention of the public, but the ease
with which verdicts are set aside in
the court room and the facility with
which notorious criminals escape pun
ishment have brought much of this
about. The amount of crime is in
creasing, and it seems that the Grim
inal is the only one that has any rights.
The people lose confidence in the effec-
tiveness of the law to opunish criminals.
Hence the increase in lynchings.
The resolutions call upon the legis-
lature to so amend the code of criminal
procedure and enlarge the powers of
the courts az to let all men know that
the law is willing and able to do i'm
mediate and thorough justice in every
case. They assert that lynchings are
n result of distrust in the promptness
and efficacy Of the legal machinery.

Could Not Escape Fate.

Some peoples lives strongly em.
phasize the assertions of some other
people, who call themselves fatalists.
Such was the tragic ending Of the life
of Miss Serena Green, who died IN
Philadelphia the other week. Miss
Green at the time of her death was
seventy-six years of age. She was liv-
ing alone in her home and had always
used candles and lamps in preferen CO
to gas, because she had had q preiu-
dice against it. In fact, there had
never been any gas pipes laid in her
house. The house two doors from
Miss Green's was occupied by her
nephew, and one morning during the
cold snap when the family awakened
their house was filed with the odor of
escaping gas. The family in the house
between Mr.. Alexander and his aunt
were also So annoyed by the gas that
they were obliged to keep their win
dows open. Mr.. Alexander dressed
and went to his aunt's house to see if
she was troubled in the same way.
Rings at the door bell failed to waken
the old lady. and the neigbors finally
broke In the door. The gas poured
out in such volumes that they were
obliged to wait awhile before entering.
When they did so, they found Miss
Serena calmly sleeping the s:een of
death. The gas in her house came
from break Of pipe in the rear ci
the middle house. It had f,r3ed it's
way between beams and latter and
found OH outlet in the house occupied
by Miss Green. New York Mail and

OLD WAGES RESTORED.

New England Cotton Mills Restore Sched-
ule Which Existed Before Cut.
A Boston special says: Cotton mills
generally in the New England states,
operating more than three-quarters of
the total number Of spindles in the
north, began work Monday under an
advanced wages schedule, which in
nearly all of the mills is about the
same as that which existed prior to
the general reduction made in the
early part of 1898, and which, it is
estimated, directly affects from 130, 900
to 100000 hands, employed by more
than 12O corporations.
The reduction made in 1898 averaged
little more than 10 per cent. In Fall
River mills, which include 2,192, 220
spindles of the 1883, lI3 in New
England, it amounted to IL 10 per

some public buildings and private
residences, it's general air of comfort

FOUND THE PHILIPPINES.
The Discovery OF the Islands by Magellan.
the Great Navigator.

AHe OAscovory OF the Islands by AuRellSns
the Great Navigator.
With an expedition splendidly furn.
ished by Emperor Charles w., Ma.
gellan set sail on August 10, 1919. He
crossed the Atlantic, touched at the
Bay OF Rio de Janeiro, made his way
southwark, reprossed savagely dan
gerous mutiny, and on October u Ell.
tered the strait which bears his name.
On November % he passed out OF it
with only three of his five vessels left,
and found himself and his rejoicing
crews in the Pacific. He felt that he
had succeeded, but he had miscalcu-
lated the vast extent of the new ocean
and sailing on for days and days, in
some fashion missed thu countless isl
ands of the Pacific, and did not see
land until he reached the little group
which he called the Ladrones, be-
cause the inhabitants stole boat from
him. There he fingered a short time,
either at Rota or in the curious hsr-
bor of Guahan. From the Ladrones,
which were discovered March 6, 1921,
the weary voyage was continued until
a new archipelago was reached, on the
fifth Sunday of Lent. Gradually the
magnitude of this new discovery be-
came apparent, and Magellan named
the new group in honor of st. Laza-
rus, on Whose day it was discovered.
They landed on Mindanao, made their
way to Cebu, hattered themselves that
they had converted and subdued the
inhabitants, and then becoming in
volved in tribal war, Magellan was
killed, and his chosen successor, Ser
rano, was left behind to death and
torture. Two ships escaped, one go
ing east, and one, the Victoria, under
Elcano, which left Timor on February
IL, sailing still to the westward. On
September 6, 1922, after many hard
ships and perils, the Victoria reached
Spain, and great voyage, the first
which circled the globe, second only
to that of Columbus in conception, and
beyond all in the daring displayed
and the distance traversed, came to an
end.--From "The Spanish-American
War;" by Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge,
