.na-Expnnsion Arguments.

Some interesting statistics have been
published by the New York Journal
apropos OF an anti-expansionist's wall, and
while they are not new and may be veri-
fed by anyone having access to good en-
cyclopedia, it is not amiss to keep them
before the public. The argument of the
expansionfst is that ANY army which We
could send TO Luzon would be a mere
handful in comparison with the seven to
twelve millions Of natives" so that it is
perfectly hopeless to think of holding the
Philippines. because We cannot do it.
1t should be noted in this connection
that there are no seven to twelve millions
of natives involved in the case. The foe
against which our troops are fighting be-
longs to one island, the island of Luzon,
and there are about two millions of them,
men, women, and children. The little
kingdom of Holland is governing thirty
four millions of people in the Malay archi-
pelago, and England, as has been often re-
marked, governs three hundred million
people in India-four times as many as the
entire population of the United States-
with force of some two hundred thou
sand white and native troops. This shows
that the government of Eastern colonies
by European nations is not such a very
arduous task when law and order is once
established. But it must be established
first, and to that end a competent force
should be sent to the islands. 1t is not a
hard thing 10 drive a herd of cattle when
they are once rounded up and in the road

task-but let them scatter all over the

which delay is emphatically penny wise

AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL MYSTERY
The Recent Discoveries ut the Sup
posed Tomb of Romuius.

Paris, June 2S.-The European edition of
the New York Herald prints the follow
ing dated Rome, yesterday:
I'm the scientific world there is great
emotion great mystery The tomb of
Romulus has come into fashion again. Ev-
eryone is talking of the black stones. the
lapis niger, discovered during the last
winter by Signor Baccelli. Hitherto no
one had dared to take up these sacred
stones. But Minister Baccelli is one of
those men who like Guzman, knows no
obstacles 1t is true Mommsen declares
the story fable. and even doubts the eX
istence of Romulus and Remus. But sup
pose the skeletons of the two nurslings of
the she wolf should be found beneath the
stonei
In short, the venerated slabs have been
raised Suddenly some bones were turned
up, amid intense emotion. They were re-
speetfuliy laid out on the classis table for
examination. What disappointment en-
sued! They proved to be the bones of
pigs. sheep, and oxen.
'Archaeologists are not the men to trou-
Bile themselves about such a trifie. These
bones. they say, prove that the place was
sacred. They were those from the ira
ditional sacrifices held in sacred places,
and what place could have been more sa-
cred than the tomb of Romulus? Conclu-
sion: These bones confirm the belief that
the lapis niger is in reality the tombstone
over the remains of the founder OF Rome.
1T appears that another discovery of the
highest Importance to archaeological sci
ence has been made. Two slabs have been
found on which were, or should have been,
the two lions known to exist in this spot
consecrated to Romulus. These slabs date
from the sixth century B. C. Beside them
were discovered idols, fragments of vases,
and archaic statuettes. also an admirable
fragment of Greek vase, with back point
ing on red ground. But the most i'm
portant discovery is that of slab on
which is in cryptograph, in an archaic al
phabet, an inscription dating from the
sixth or seventh century B. C. This is re-
ported to be a dedication to recall to mind
that on this spot expiation sacrifices were
offered after the flight of the French, or,
| rather, of the Gauls, who had burned a
great portion of the city, without. how
ever, taking the capitol which was so well
| defended by the historic geese. There is
flow of imagination for you. 'Si non
vero.' says the Italian proverb. Still, it is
very probable that the remains just dis
| covered may date back to the period of the
| kings"

Press Independence.

tFrom the boston HeFaid.)
II seems to be clear that the press has gained
in independence by the failure OF Whitelaw Reid
to be appointed Ambassador to England. The
''New York yribme' is by many regarded as the
most important Republican paper in the nation
In the first yeais Of the present Administration
there was no Journal more constant in its praise
Of everything done in that quarter. II Mr. Reid
had received. the above office. there was every
reason to expect continuance OF this tone. lie
would have accepted favor which would have
put him under obligation to the authority that
conferred it, which he would have felt it un-
gracious to disregard. 1t did come TO him,
ard he -as left free TO express his views in in
dependence. We have thus been able to welcome
the Tribune TO the side of those who resent the
Presidents assault upon civil service reform, and
it will be observed that in his recent address in
Ohio upon the foreign policy OF the Government
Mr.. Reid speaks with further freedom in CRITICS
ing the course of the Administration for its tail
ure TO take early measures To prevent the mobil-
ization OF Aguinaldo's army.

been visiting the family of Charles E.

The mans appearance indicated that he
told the truth so far as the walking was
concerned. He was evidently insane on
the subject of kidnapping. and the police
detained him and sent word to his New
York friends.

FARMERS WANTED IN HAWAII.
Arrival of PInnters' Agent to Sc
cure American Immigrants


Tacoma, June 23.-Col. Albert Whyte
has arrived from Hilo Hawaiian Islands.
to secure 10000 white farmers who desire
to better their condition by moving to a
tropical climate. He brings credentials
from Hawaiian planters who authorize him
to act in their behalf in securing these
immigrants.
These planters are just now undertaking
the development of the wonderful re-
sources of the islands, and prefer that its
new plantations shall be worked by white
men rather than Japanese and Portuguese
laborers. 1t is probable that their action
is partially influenced by the fact that the
United States immigration laws will soon
be applied to Hawaii, after which impor-
tation of Asiatic coolies will largely be
stopped. While American worlmen will
demand more pay than Asiatics, it is ap-
preciated that their intelligence and in
genuity will enable them to accomplish
far greater results.
Colonel Parker, the Prime Minister OF
Hawaii under the monarchy; the Billing
hams, the Horners, and the other large
planters have agreed to set aside portions
of their big estates in Hawaii to enable
American farmers to secure land of their
own if they will go there. Others, who
prefer it, will be allowed to work on plan
them, receiving a portion of the yearly
profits as their compensation. Colonel
Whyte is a director of a company recent
ly formed to build a railroad around the
island OF Hawaii, with headquarters al
Hilo. The land now to be opened will be
tributary TO this railroad

Surgeon Cook Describes the south
Pole Searching Cruise.
New York, June 23.-Among the Ias-
sengers who arrived this morning on the
steamship Button from Rio Janeiro was nr.
Frederick A. Cook, of the Belgica Antarctic
expedition Dr. Cook, when seen at Quar-
antine said: 1.-THE Belgica expedition was
organized in part by the Belgian govern
ment and private subscription. I accom-
panied the expedition as surgeon and an
thropologist. Briefly our itinerary was as
follows: Leaving Staten Land for the
Southern Seas on January l, 1898, We pro-
ceeded directly for Cape Horn, taking
soupdings directly south from this point to
the South Shetland Islands, passing
through this group to Palmer Land. We
entered Palmer Land through Hughes
Gulf, which We found was not a gulf, but
a strait, as long as Magellan and some
what wider. We spent about two weeks
surveying Hughes Gulf, and finally emerg-
ed into the Pacific and proceeded along the
west border or coast of Graham's Land.
until we entered the main body OF pack ice,
west of Alexander. We passed through
the pack ice about ninety miles south until
we were frozen in. The vessel thus frozen
in the pack ice remained fast for thirteen
months during which we drifted 1000
miles to and fro, and finally emerged in
clear water at 103 west longitude. We
then returned directly to Punta Arenas. Z"
DR.. Cook will go direct to his home in
BROOKLYN
