THE SAMOAN COMMISSION

VIII Sail From San Francisco For Apia
on Naval Transport Badger.
A Washington dispatch says: The
Samoan commission will sail on the
United States naval transport Badger,
leaving San Francisco on the 26th
instant. The arrangement was made
after Baron Speck Won Sterd-
berg, first secretary Of the German
embassy, had called on Secretary Hay
and advised him Of his appointment
as the German member OF the high
commission. This completed the body.
As the plan to have the members get
away on the Mariposa, sailing on the
10Th was no longer feasible, the trans.
port Badger was placed at the disposal
of the commission. She is now at
Calloa, Peru, on her way around to
San Francisco from New York. She
is large serviceable ship, with first
class accommodations for the commits.

AN EXPERT ON Farm CONDITIONS.
Tie Says Farm lnvsstnent Paid Better n
Years AGO Than To-Day.

The Industrial Commission gave q
hearing recently In Washington on
farm conditions, the principal witness
being Assistant Secretary Bingham Of
the Agricultural Department. Mr..
Brigham said that he had been con.
nected with the Grange movement
nearly twenty years, and as master OF
the National Grange for nine years
had Travelled over the country consid.
erably. The number Of men employed
on farms was about the same, he said,
as fifty years ago. The tendency, how.
ever, was toward shorter hours and
lighter work, and in general the condL
ton and wages Of the farm hands had
improved. This was largely due to the
use Of machinery and improved meth.
DDS, and not organization Of labor. The
system of crop sharing, he said, was
increasing, and would, he thought,
largely supplant that Of hiring men for
wages.
Mr.. Brigham favored the teaching Of
the elementary principles of agricult'
ure in the public schools, as arousins
the interest of the boys In that branch
would tend to keep them on the farm
and away from the cities. The money
invested In farms, farm implements
and stock In the United States repre-
sented, lie said, about $1,000. 000. 900.
Farm investments paid higher rates Of
interest forty years ago than to-day.
Some reasons for the decrease were
the appreciation of land values and
higher wages for labor. The net profits
of farming, taking an average for the
whole country, he thought would not
exceed more than two or three per cent.
Farmers, he said, paid too great pro-
portion Of the taxes, one reason being
that their property could not be con.
cealed from the assessors rs can some
other classes of property.

KAurz."
Secretary Long said that no addi.
tional instructions were to be sent by
him to the admiral. The secretary Of
state, however, has been told that he
is at liberty to forward any instruc-
tions to the admiral that he may deem
necessary, but that If he concludes to
do so, he must act Immediately.
Representative Hull, of Iowa, chair
man of the house military committee,
was one of the presidents visitors
Wednesday. He said:
"This government will not attempt
to discredit our men there unless it is
shown clearly that they are in the
wrong. If Germany persists in her
present course there may be war. I
do not believe this administration will
allow Germany to run this government
as she seems to be trying to do now.
In my section of the country the feel
ing has been strong against Germany
for six months. The people believe
that she was hostile to us in the war
with Spain. The people are in such
temper that they will not permit any
trifing or hedging on the part OF the
United States. If there should be
war I do not believe that all the
European countries could or would
stand against Great Britain and the
United States"
Senator Thurston said that 1t would
be pretty hard for three Of the most
enlightened nations Of the earth to
have war over few little islands
which are of no consequence. He
considered the situation somewhat
grave.
Senator Stewart said: "Does Ger
many want to fight? If so, she may
be accommodated. We are a peaceful
people, but we don't permit others to
go around with chips on their should.

BRYAN IN MlLWUAKEE.
Speaks At Jefferson Banquet On the Sub
Ject, democracy"

ject, Democracy"
The Jefferson club of Milwaukee,
Wis, observed the natal day Of the
founder of democracy by banquet at
the Plankington house Thursday night
attended by over 400 guests.
Colonel William j. Bryan, OF Ne
braska, was the guest of honor aud
delivered the principal address. Del.
egations of democrats were in attend.
ance from many towns throughout the
state and nearly all the democrats
from the state legislature were pres
emit.
The banquet hall was beautifully
decorated with the national colors and
back Of the guests Of honor, above
mantel, hung large portrait in oil Of
Of the third president.
Colonel Bryan spoke on "Democ.
racy." He said, in part:
"We are now near enough to the
next campaign to be able to form some
idea of the lines along which the con-
test will be fought, and I am taking
no risk when say that those who, in
1896, gave their allegiance to the Chi
cago platform are as united today in
the determination that no step taken
in 1895 shall be retraced. The plat
form applied to the conditions then
existing, the principles of which had
been democratic from the beginning
of the government. Suggestions that
we abandon the money question some
times como from those who deserted
the party in 1896, but those sugges-
tons are not supported by evidence
tending to show that the position in
1896 was wrong, but was predicated
upon the theory that the issue upon
which the party once lost can never
be revived, and what seems most
strange, this argument is made by
those who have followed a different
course in the past
"In 1883 Mr.. Cleveland was defeat
ed on the tariff issue, and yet the tar.
iff was made the main issue in 1892,
and Mr.. Cleveland was elected. In
1892 Mr.. Harrison was defeated on &C.
count OF the Mckinley bill, and four
years later the author of the bill was
nominated upon platform reaffirming
the belief in protection and was sue.
cessful.
"The test ought to be not whether
the issue has been presented before,
but whether the position taken ID
right. If the gold standard was un.
merited in 1896, 1t is unmerited today.
If its maintenance was detriment to
the interests of the people Of this
country then, it is detriment now.
If, in 1896, it was 70 hurtful that the
republicans promised to put forth
their best efforts to substitute interna.
tional bimetallism for it, and after the
election was still SO hurtful that the
president sent a commission to Europe
to secure foreign aid in abandoning
it, what has happened since then to
make the American people accept it as
a blessinp?"

SDhiux and Man,

Now, for the first time, a photograph
of the Sphinx with one man standing
on top of 1t and another half way up
the front, has been taken, showing az
a glance the tremendousness Of this
monument which Is more than six
thousand years old. Figures give 90
poor an idea Of size that they hardly
convey anything to the mind. Clese
your eyes and try to imagine figure
sixty.five feet high, and its body Q
hundred and eighty-nine feet long;
each ear is two yards wide. the nose
is five feet long, the mouth 10 seven
feet wide, large enough to swallow q
six-footer II it were opened, and the
distance across the face from ono
cheek to another is fourteen feet.
II a Ave-story fat house were built
by the side Of the Sphinx the top OF the
house would be below the crown Of Its
head. Yet this wonderful statue was
cut out of the living rock as long ago
as 1000 years B. G. There must have
been some great artists in that day
to think Of 30 big work, which has
never been since equaled.
The meaning Of the Sphinx is one OF
the hardest problems of scholars. Some
say 1t is the statue of some old Egyp.
tian god, others that It Is a symbol Of
the rising sun, but the most probable
explanation Is that the Sphinx Ii the
statue Of some one Of the Pharaohs OF
old Egypt Its head is that Of man.
and the body of the lion was only .
symbol Of the power Of the mighty
king who had 1t hewn. There are an9
number of Sphinxes In Egypt, but this
one Is the largest and finest Of them

Mckinley Message.
President Mckinley received q dis
patch Thursday from DIR. Schurman,
president Of the Philippine commits
sion. now at Manila.
The message says that the proclaim
alton recently issued has done great
good aud that the Filipinos are visit

to become citizens OF this country.
The message also stated that the
Filipinos coming into Manila declare
