SCORES THE PRESIDENT
FOR PHILIPPINE POLICY

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Robert Treat
Payne Jr., Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor in an interview said
President Mckinley has shown his
hand. Neither Christianity nor morality
nor faithful adherence to the principles
Of our constitution, which he has taken
the oath to observe. seem to be dominant
motives in extending our sovereignty
over the Philippine islands. In one part
of the archipelago a treaty has been made
with the Sultan Of the Moros, where po-
lygamy 1ourishes and slavery prevails
and it is agreed to protect their institu-
tions and bar out Christian missionaries
from among his Mohammedan subjects
The boy at the Latin school would call this
a declaration contrary to or without re-
gard to fact. The thirteenth amendment
to the constitution declares that slavery
shall not exist in the United States or any
place subject to their Jurisdiction. Yet
here President Mckinley has raised the
star spangled banner as an emblem to the
Mohammedan for protection to the harem
and the slave pen"

STEYN HOPES FOR A
PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT

BLOEMFONTEIN, o. F. S., Oct. s.
The correspondence between President
Steyn and Sir Alfred Miner, British High
Commissioners in South Africa and Cover
nor of Cape Colony, has been published.
In communication dated September 26
President Steyn pointed out that the tone
of the British dispatches was altered and
that the Imperial Government had de-
parted from the original basis Of negotia-
tions with the Transvaal. On his advice
the Transvaal had agreed to the holding
of an inquiry and the Free State was
greatly disappointed that it's efforts in
favor of a peaceful solution had not
availed.
The Free State, Mr.. Steyn said, was
still prepared to tender its services to pro-
cure a solution of the difficulties on fair
and reasonable lines. 1t felt hampered,
however, by want of knowledge of the
definite object and the extent of the de-
sires or demands Of the Imperial Govern
ment, compliance with which the Gov
ernment considers itself entitled to insist
upon, and the grounds upon which such
insistence were based, and further by the
fact that Notwithstanding repeated assur-
ances that the Imperial Government does

VESSELS FOR THE
BLOCKADE OF LUZ0N

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-Under orders
issued by the Navy Department the cruis-
er Brooklyn will sail from Hampton
Roads on Tuesday for Manila via Suez
Canal The Nashville will leave San Juan
this week for the same destination by the
same route. The New Orlans will require
six days in which to make slight altera-
tions, and she will then proceed to join
Rear Admiral Watson. Reports received
from the auxiliary cruiser Badger show
that she is in need Of considerable repairs,
and 1t may be considered advisable to
transfer her officers and crew to the
Ranger, just completed and dispatch that
vessel to join the Asiatic squadron. Orders
have been telegraphed to the Boston Navy
Yard TO expedite work on the gunboat
Bancroft and she will be placed in COM
mission without loss Of time and sent to
the far east. The gunboat Annapolis is
now at the Norfolk navy yard, and her
repairs will be pushed. The protected
cruiser Albany will be completed by jan
uary 1, and orders Will shortly be issued
for the preparation of her detail of officers
and crew, and they will be sent to Eng
land to take charge of the vessel, pro-
ceeding at once to Manila. The gunboat
Machias has been ordered to Boston to
undergo repairs, and the Marietta may
be sent to Manila without making the
survey Of the mouth Of the Orinoco orig
inally ordered.
1t is confidently expected that such a
strict blockade of Luzon will be maintained
by Rear Admiral Watson when all the
vessels Of his command have reached
their destination that the Flipinos will
not be able to renew their supplies of
munitions Of war and food. The blockade
which has been instituted since the REBEL

smashing Traditions.

The three chief facts about Profess
or Hadley, the new president OF Yale
university, are:
That he is only 43 years old.
That he is not a clergyman, the first
exception to the supposedly ironclad
rule as to the qualifications Of a presi.
dent Of Yale.
That he is not a professor OF Greek
or Latin or philosophy or any of the
SO called couture" branches Of educa-
ton, but Of political science, the sci
ence of government in it's broad sense,
which; includes all kinds of public &C.
ton.
Thus one Of the greatest and most
conservative of Americas old UNIVERSE
ties has at one stroke broken from
those time honored traditions.
The selection Of a head for such an
institution of enlightenment as Yale
is an event Of widespread interest and
Importance. This particular selection
is almost sensational as a revelation

A curiou. Fishing wheel.

A curious fishing wheel is used on
the Columbia river, near Portland, Or.
1t is fixed near the bank Of the river,
a place being selected where the river
is most rapid. The wheel consists OF
three receivers. These are inclosed on
three sides by wire netting, and as
the wheel revolyes by NEAR OF the
current each receiver is submerged be-
meath the water and scoops up the
salmon as they jump up the rapids.
The receiver then continues on it's up
ward journey, the salmon meanwhile
slipping down toward the axle Of the
wheel, until at last, when 1t becomes
perpendicular, the fish is shot into, A
wooden slide. From this point it slips
into the longer wooden slide and is
hurled downward into a boat. These
wheels catch thousands Of fish daily.

A MethOd of Execution Said to he
Rapid and Painless.

A Method of Execution Said to BE
Rapid and Painless.
The Japanese government is striving
to discover q new and more modern
mode for the execution Of it's con
denIned criminals. 1t has laid aside
the idea Of execution by electricity as
it is now practiced in America and is
considering an entirely new and i'm
proved method Of execution. 1t is
quick, painless, quiet and peaceful.
The Japanese consider 1t even far bet
ter than the most modern mode, that
Of electricity, inasmuch as it does not
harm the appearance Of the body in
the least, whereas electricity when not
applied to exactly the proper degree
scorches, burns and shrivels the skin
of the victim.
The death" or Vacuum" chamber,
as it is to be known, Is to be an air.
tight cell. 1t is to be 8 feet In length,
10 feet wide and 10 feet long. The
four sides are to have each an alright
window Of three-quarter inch plate
glass, so that the operators, prison and
other officials may have an opportunity
to witness the execution and determine
the results. y
The cell will be connected with an
air pump which will have a power Of
causing the expulsion Of the air In the
cell in / minute and 40 seconds, thus
acting so quickly as not to allow the
victim to become suffocated OIL dis
tressed in even the slightest degree,
but, instead, causing almost instant
death. In. fact, it was shown when the
experiment was tried upon a large st.
Bernard dog that the animal was dead
4 minute and a half after the vacuum
was completed.
The experts before whom the expert
ment was tried were not only marvel
ously pleased and surprised by the eX-
cellent success, but were SO positive,
while the vacuum continued, from the
peaceful and lifelike appearance OF the
dog, that he was still alive that they
would not allow the vacuum to be dis
continued for 30 minutes. When on ex-
aiming the st. Bernard they found
that it was dead 1h minutes after the
cuu was completed, they pro-
nounced the method "a revolution IN
the mode of execution" and declared
that it was far better than electricity,
which causes a s~tiffening Of the mus
cles and a ~frightful appearance OF the
face and eyes.
The method to be pursued in the exc
cution Of criminals by this chamber,
should it be adopted, will be as fol-
lows: The condemned will be stripped,
so that the air which might become
lodged in and between the folds OF the
garments will not be able to cause any
hitch in the execution. The condemn
ed will be placed in a position on the
fiat of the back, at full length. and
with the hands clasped above the head
so as to allow full expansion and con
traction of the chest.
This is done so that when the vacu
I'M is forming the air in the body, be
ing expelled by the contraction OF the
chest, will be constantly drawn out Of
the chamber by the air pump, ane
then, there being nc air in the chambel
to replace that exhaled, death Will en-
sue.-Boston Herald.

steam In Place Of aunpowder.

Major General Schaw has suggested
before the Institution Of Mining Engi-
neers in London the substitution OF
water for gunpowder in blasting car
tridges used in coal mines. His plan
Is to ill the cartridge with pure wa
ter, insert It in the drill hole and then
turn the water into high pressure
steam by means Of an electric current
Of low tension. A cartridge made to
resist a pressure Of $50 pounds per
square inch could be caused to burst,
according to General Schaw's calcula-
lions, within about n minute after
he turning on of the current.
