THE EXPANSION OF THE. SAL0ON..

from the vile city saloons, you know"
Martin J. Egan, the special war CORE
spondent of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle at Manila, tells how the canteens
fulfil their mission, in these words:
Manila, Sept. 2O-Pay day has come
again, and there has been renewal of
the disgraceful conduct of the Ameri-
can soldiers. Despite the united eff
forts Of the military commanders, who
have placed stringent restrictions on
the sale Of liquor and have increased
the penalty for offenses, there has been
much intoxication among the men, and
every day has seen disorderly scenes
on the streets. The payment of the
men began several days ago, and with
it began drunkenness. Provost guards
were increased, several of the more
disorderly houses were closed, and
every dealer was given warning to re-
frain from selling whisky to already
intoxicated men; but the carnival has
gone on practically without Interrupt
ton
IN ALASKA.
Dawson City, the metropolis of the
Klondike, was partly destroyed by fire
on Oct. IA. Four blocks were burned
over, and some 40 houses and business
places were destroyed. The estimated
damage is 100000. The fire original
ed in a barroom fight between two
dance-hall women. A short war Of
words was followed by Dolly Mitchell
throwing lighted lamp at the head
Of another girl. The latter lodged the
lamp, which fell on the greasy floor
and exploded.

with matters as they stand. or would be II
cur Government would afford them some
relief from the expressions of our barbarie
and inhuman Chinese fiscal system. At
least America is strong enough to protect
the Cubans who want to work and earn an
hcnes: living from local official robbery
and from the bandits who used to fatten at
the expense OF the planters and country
merchants. So the property holding and
producing classes are willing to wait. be-
lieving in the ultimate generosity of the
American people, and that what they pres
emily have to suffer from Dingleyism and
some remains of Algerism, will be made
up to them in good time.
1t is noticeable that the annexation SEN
timent in the island grows stronger day by
day. All. or practically all. the people who
by reason OF antecedents, education, prop
erty. or genera, intelligence. could be re-
gardei as even approximately fitted for
self government, seem to favor American
sovereignty. The exceptions are mostly
confined TO the demagogues who look TO
their influence over the half wild blacks
TO place them in control of the country and
opportunities for personal aggrandizement
and plunder, under a sort of Haitien
scheme of independence. Some time or
other these leaders might succeed in max
ing trouble for us, if allowed 10. and when
they get about ready for the attempt, the
lot of them would make very interesting
colony on the Dry Tortugas. II is said
that General Brooke has organized most
efficient secret service and is kept fully
informed from day to day in regard 10 the
plans and movements of the malcontents.
At the proper time. he will be ready to
pounce on them, and administer mi itary
justice.

Better Report. From Cubn.

The alarming reports Of threatened in
suriectionary outbreaks which have been
coming from Cuba for several days, are
not likely to have any very serious basis.
Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood, who ought to be
well informed as to actual conditions, does
not appear to anticipate trouble. since he
is understood to have recommended re-
duction of the military force in his pro-
vince.
There is no doubt that some of the revo-
iutionary and the old brigand leaders in
Cuba are greatly discontented with sit
nation which cuts them off from the hope
q official plunder or the loot of private
property. And they are able to SOW the
seeds Of diseord among the great mass of
ignorant blacks and mestizos who form the
majority of the population. On the other
hand, all the respectable elements of So
ciety including the Industrious class OF
Cuban farmers. are well enough contented

fronts Of the town. Or. 1t might happen
that Clery could strike a blow from
Weenens in the direction OF Joubert's rear
and thus threaten the latter's line to
Laings Mex, draw off large part of the
besiegers to cover it, and leave Hildyard
comparatively free to turn Joubert's right at
Pieter's; and SO get into position to swing
his own left to Dewdrop, and there effect
junction with White. There is apparent
reason for thinking that Butler will try to
avoid direct attack on the Boer front al
pieter's, and will maneuvre to draw Joubert
from the positions thereabouts. But the
Transvaal general is a strategist and a
grand tactician, and is not inferior IL
strength nor in artillery. He has, besides,
a round advantage in the superior mobiii-
ty of his mounted army.
Taking these and other military consid-
erations into account, and assuming that
Ladysmith still holds out, which may or
may not be the fact, we may reasonably
count upon a week or more of desperate
fighting in northern Natal. November has
been a sanguinary month for Great Britain,
and, unless the signs are altogether mis-
leading many hundred heads more. no.
BILE and simple, will be cold before Christ
mas.

DIES AT THE MARRIAGE ALTAR.
a Minister Falls Dead After the We'd
ding Ceremony.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 30.-While
performing marriage ceremony at this
home. in Clarendon Street last night, the
Rev. Edwin L. Jaeger dropped dead from
apoplexy. He had just pronounced the
words that made Frank Gunther and Miss
Eliza Williams man and wife when he reel
ed and fell dead at the feet OF the couple
The tragic passing away Of the minister
was not known until this morning when
the unsigned marriage certificate was
brought to the Office of the city clerk. The
certificate will be recorded as there is no
doubt as to the legality of the marriage.
Several witnesses were present. Mr.. Jag
gr was sixty years old and q well-known
clergyman. He had been for a number OF
years a sufferer from neuralgia Of the
heart.
He was born in Pennsylvania and was
graduated from Iowa College in the class
Of 1857. He is said to have been the old
est graduate of that institution. He leaves
a widow and two sons, Charles H. and
Clarence Z. Jaeger, the latter being city
editor of a Worcester newspaper.

The Theory Of Hearing.

In the physiological section OF the British As
socation yesterday, Dir. Albert Gray Glasgow
read paper on ..The Theory of Hearing" His
view OF the function Of the cochlea, as set forth
in his paper is like that Of Helmholtz that sound
is analyzed into its simple constituent tones by
the basilar membrane The result of this analysis
is that variations in pressure on the nerve ter
limitations will occur. and that these pressure
variations analysed in the central nervous sys-
tenn In support of the theory he put forward he
cited the close analogy which it shows between
the sense of hearing and that Of touch 1t further
explains the existence Of noise as distinguished
from musical sounds, and the fact that under
certain circumstances the ear is able to perceive
difference Of phase

The biggest Egg in the World.

The biggest egg in the world is now in London,
and will be offered for sale. II was found
buried in sand in Madagascar by natives. This
egg known to naturals,s as the Aepyornis maxi
mus, measures nearly yard in circumference and
over foot in length. Its cubical capacity is
equal to nearly six ostrich or $50 hens eggs.
Specimens of this gigantic egg. the lineal meas
ufement of which il double that of large os-
trieh, while the cubic bulk is eight times as
great. have occasionally been met with in Losdon,

We are not advised as to whether or not
any distinguished gentleman from New
York, ION calling terms with the Treas
ury, has been over to see about it; but it
is announced that Mr.. Gage will continue
to buy bonds until December %. We have
not heard that the tip was given to the
Administration clique in Wall Street, in
anticipation OF the decision. In fact moth
ing could be more unlikely. 1t is only
through their miraculous powers OF divina-
tion that the clique referred to ever secure
information of Governmental movements
in advance. II is faculty extremely val
liable to the happy possessor. For example,
when Secretary Gage decided to buy bonds.
the fact had been shrewdly guessed by
certain people in the Street at least twelve
hours before, and the way they played the
market was caution to the ophidan crea-
ton. Much the same kind of thing hap
pened in connection with the Senatorial
Sugar deal. and the Peace Protocol put a
few handy ducats where they would do the
most good. An. the quality of insideward-
