Colonel of the Fifty.frst Iowa Talks Of
Philippine Matters.
CHICAGO, Oct. PA special to The
Record from San Francico says Colonel
J. G. Lopez, in command Of the Fifty
first regiment of Iowa volunteers, in an
interview on the Philippine situation,
says:
..All that is needed now is an aggres-
sive campaign with plenty of men, and
this war will be settled in short order.
The Filipinos must be thoroughly
whipped. That is the only thing they
will appreciate just now. Many of the
leaders of the Filipinos are well edu-
Gated, cultured men. and I believe
capable of giving their people good
government, but, as have said before,
the first thing to do is to whip them.
every town taken must be held,
and war conducted in stern fashion.
No more of this amigo business. The
Philippines are rich country and ca
pable of great commercial develop
ment. Our prestige in the Orient has
greatly incl eased as result of our war.
We stand in position to command the
wonderful trade if we will only grasp
the situation.
"Our volunteers are the greatest SOL
diers in the world, I believe. Iowa has
a right to be proud of the regiment. I
am proud of every man and officer in
the regiment. I want to say word in
praise of the American colony in Yoko-
hama. They treat the returning vol
unteers like princes.

Colonel Lopez Says the Filipino

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-The trans
port Senator, with the Fifty-frst Iowa
regiment, was locked at the govern
ment wharf. The soldiers were landed
from the Senator later in the day and
marched to the Ferry depot where an
elaborate breakfast was served in their
honor. Governor Shaw and many other
prominent Iowans were present and
speeches appropriate to the occasion
were delivered After breakfast the
men were lined up for the march to the
Preside. During the march the men
were cheered all along the line. Each
man was decorated with flowers and
flags. The camping ground formerly
occupied by the Montana regiment will
serve to shelter the Iewans until they
are mustered out, probably in two or
three weeks.

MINNESOTA RAILROADS.

Earnings Over Thirty-one Millions, Half
of Which Was Spent in Operation.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 24.-Annual reports
of the railroads operating entirely or in
part in the state of Minnesota show
gross earnings on their property taxed
within the state for the year ending
June 80, 1899. of 81, 457, 442.64. These
figures are exclusive Of the earnings in
Minnesota of the Great Northern sys-
tenn, which has not filed its report. This
sum represents the largest railroad
earnings in the state during its entire
history. The total earnings of the rail
roads within the state during the year
were made with total operating ex-
penditures within the state of $16,1 49,
235. 10, leaving net income to the
roads for the 70 months business OF

estimates place the Beers loss at 800
men, but this is probably exaggerated.
Report Not Credited.
The best opinions do not credit the
reports that the Boer are suing for
peace or that they are likely to yield at
present, though they think the Beers
will probably retreat to their line of de-
Tense in the mountain passes Of Laings
Mex and Drakerburg, where they have
blocked the passes with great boulders
and masses of rock blown up on either
side, and where, if they so desire, they
would be able to hold out until the
advance of Major General Sir Redvers
Butler through the Orange Free State
should compel them to leave the Natal
side to meet the invasion from the
south.
The Sensational rumors of the designs
of foreign powers inimical to British
interest meet with scant credence,
though it is admitted it is difficult to
explain the immense forces on land
which Great Britain is now mobilizing.

Those Letters to GaIata.
A comical incident at Constantinople
illustrates what thin ice those who use
the press have to walk upon under the
rule of the sultan.
There is Greek benevolent society in
Constantinople which recently had occa-
sion to publish a pamphlet on it's work,
and on the title page there was put a
quotation from Pauls Epistle to the Gal
atians. Very soon after it appeared a
police officer came to the printing office
and demanded of the editor that he
should give him information as to who
this Paul was who had been writing let
tiers to the people of Galata Zone of the
suburbs of Constantinople) as he had
orders to get copy of these letters and
to bring the aforesaid Paul to l1eaduuar-
tiers.
The editor explained that Paul could
not be brought to headquarters; he was
dead. But the functionary retorted that
his orders were to bring Paul, and. If
he could not bring Paul, to bring the ed
itor. 1t was of no use to protest that
Paul had been dead for 1880 years: the
editor was taken to headquarters and put
in prison for several days. until finally
the Greek patriarch interfered and pre-
sented the bureau Of censorship with a
copy of the letter of Paul, which he
showed was addressed, not to the neonle
eff Galata, but to a province of the ancient
Roman empire.
This having been at last made clear the
editor was released.

ELECTRIC FISH
Are More intelligent Than Others of
the Species.

Are More intelligent Than Others of
the Species.
ST. Louis GIobe-Democrat.
The electric fish of the Nile has a much
higher intelligence than that usually at
tributed to fishes generally. Prof Gotch
tells of a curious incident that happened
when one of these fishes was kept in
captivity with a roach. The roach always
seemed to be hungry, and was constantly
feeding, but the more it ate the more
emaciated 1t became. During the feeding
hours the electric fish would swim around
placidly, apparently taking not the slight
est interest in the food which was being
literally supplied to the roach. Yet, al
though different to every attraction of
the bill of fare, 1t appeared tic be thriv-
ing. 1t eventually transpired that the
electric fish allowed the roach to do half
the digesting of the food, and when that
stage had been reached 1t would make
preparations for it's meal by the artfui
administration of electric shocks to the
unfortunate roach, which, half terrified
out of its life, gave up the food in
half digested condition. Prof. Gotch; like
many others who have tried to conceive
how the evolution of this electrical organ
came about has been unable to overcome
the biological difficulties with which this
subject is surrounded. He believes, how
ever, that the actual seat of the electrical
discharges themselves is the nerves In
the Nile fish the electric discharge is
from the head to the tall, and the fish
is able to regulate athis by a unique kind
OF what may be called an animal switch
board, consisting of a central nervous
system. These nerve stimuli can be sent,
possibly, twelve times a second, but they
can not be kept up for. more than half
a dozen seconds consecutively, owing to
the rapid exhaustion of the central sys-
tenn A fish ofsthis kind contains no less
than 100000 eells.. These minute cells
have been compared to the old voltaic
pile, and the possession Of the force which
they generate has been likened to the use
of firearms by man. There is much fit
ness about the latter comparison since
the fish keeps its electrical weapon for
special emergencies. With it's kind 1t
fights almost entirely with the mouth.
and it attacks small fish mostly in the
same way. To use the electric battery
every time a meal was needed would be
too exhausting. The electric discharge
of this class of fishes is used quite as
much for defense as attack, and no large
fish is ever likely to make the mistake
Of tackling such foe twice.
