Value of the BertilIon system.

Recently three burglars were arrested
in New York and Capt. McClusky, chief
of the New York city detective bureau,
sent Bertillon cards representing them to
the state bureau of Identification, which
is one of the departments under the man
agement of Supt. Collins Of the state
prisons. 1t was found that all three Of
them were old offenders, and duplicate
Bertillon cards bearing their records were
sent to Capt. McClusky. When arraigned
for trial all Of the prisoners denied posi-
lively ever having been in prison, but on
being shown the duplicate cards fur
nished by the bureau they acknowledged
that the records were correct, and, plead
ing guilty, were sentenced to Sing Sing
prison. The bureau of Identification, al
though it has been in opera ton but three
years, now has on file more than $1,000
cards, each representing a criminal and

ANIMALS LONG MEMORY.
E1ephan and Horses Able to Re-
member for Many Years.

The elephant is remarkable for the ex-
cellence of its memory. This was no.
ticed by the ancients. Pliny says that
elephants when old recognize again men
who were their keepers when they were
young. Although there does not seem to
be any particular recorded instance in
which this proved to be true, there are
many well-authenticate instances of eIe-
plants remembering many years back In
one Of these an elephant was tanned and
kept in captivity for two years; then it
escaped and ran wild for fifteen years.
On being recaptured at the end of that
time it remembered perfectly all the
words Of command which it had formerly
been taught.
The horse also is endowed with q good
memory. Darwin relates that one of his
horses remembered his way to a house
and the locality of the stables after an
absence of eight years. A dog has been
known to recognize his masters voice
when he had not heard it for five years.
Some kinds OF birds have very good
memories. The parrot is an instance Of
this, as is we'll known. The pigeon alse,
though not a particularly intelli',en bird,
is well endowed in this respecr, and has
been known to recognize the voice of
person who had been absent eighteen
months

OFFER TO RESIGN.
Emperor Unwilling to Have Rup-

Reorganization OF Cabinet.

Berlin, Aug. 24.-The correspondent
here of the Associated press learns au-
thoritatively that Emperor William has
refused to accept the cabinets resigna-
ton.
Later, however, a partial reorganiza-
ton Of the ministry will be made. The
position of DR.. Won Miguel, the vice
president of the council Of ministers and
Prussian minister of finance, is as strong
as ever, and this shows the improba bill
ity of a dissolution. The Emperor, de-
spite the recent events, which greatly af
feet his estimation of the conservative
members of the cabinet, is unwilling to
have complete rupture with the Con-
servatives. The political alliance which
the Freisinnige leaders and press offer
him seems to be unacceptable. Another
session of the Prussian crown council
will be held at which the wish Of Prince
Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, for
a dissolution, will be discussed. 1t is re-
garded as doubtful that Prince Hohen-
lobe will make this matter cal inet

Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 24.-The rural

and ten wounded.

turned their fire and large number of
citizens of Cuevitas, who surrounded the
pay station, fell over one another in a

Washington, D. c., Aug. 24-The state
department has been informed that Gen.
Otis has applied the Chinese exclusion
laws to the Philippines. The native Fill
ipinos are strongly opposed to Chinese la
Dor, and the exclusion of the Chinese
from the islands would materially aid in
bringing the war to Il close. The Chi
nese population is about $1,000. The
Chinese government has shown anxiety
as to the course OF this government to-
ward the Chinese in the Philippines
mainly because the Philippines are so
near China and large numbers of Chinese
are already esta blished there
The state department does not appre-
bend that any international complications
will arise out of Gen. Otis course in ex-
Guiding Chinese from the Philippines, as
this is SAID to be only temporary mill
tary eXpedient, leaving the general ques-
ton to be determined by Congress.
