OFFERS TO SELL OUT.

MANILA, Oct. is. =: % a. m.-Gener-
al Otis has received messages purport-
ing to come from the insurgent General
Pho del Pillar. offering to- sell out and
deliver his army into the hands o: the
Americans. Although he is not salts
fed that this offer Is authentic. IL Is
not intrinsically improbable. The pol
icy of General Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders.
Pillar offers for the sum OF $4,000 to-
refrain from attacking Manila with his
army: for the sum of $250.0O0 he offers
to surrender his army after 4 sham
battle, both sides firing into the air,
and for the sum OF 100000 he says he
will procure the overthrow OF the in
surrection and the capture OF Aguinal-
do, Palermo and the other leaders In
the course of the communication he re-
fers to Aguinaldo in contemptuous
terms. indicating that strained rela-
tons exist between them.

LONDON. October l7-Parliament
opened today in extraordinary session
to consider the South African s!tua-
ton.
LONDON, October 1S.-In the House
OF Commons today the First Lord OF
the Treasury and Government leader
Arthur J. Balfour. brought in the fol-
lowing message from the Queen:
The state of affairs in Africa hav-
ing constituted. in the opinion OF her
Majesty, n case of emergency within
the meaning OF the act of Parliament.
her Majesty deems il proper To provide
additional means for military service.
She has. therefore. thought il right to
communicate to the house that her
Majesty is, by proclamation, about To
order the embodiment of the militia
and to call out the militia reserve
force, or such part ,nereof as her Ma
jesty may think necessary for perma-
nent service
The calling out of the militia md
the military reserves has ocCasioned
widespread wonderment. Other stories
of preparations against continental
combinations are revived. IL is freely
rumored that the Government Is deter
mined to demonstrate to- Europe that
the British army is not 4 negligible
quantity.
The Speaker read the Queens speech.
shortly after which Sir Alexander Full
Ter Acland Hood. Conservative member
for West Somerset, rose to move the
address in reply. Dwelling upon the
horrors of war he declared that war
should not be undertaken except from
absolute necessity. but that in this
case, ali peaceable means having fail
ed. war had become necessary to es-
tablish equal rights for the white race
in South Africa and to remove 'he
grievances of the Outlanders."
Clement Royds. Conservative mem
Der for Rochdale. seconded the address.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman.
Liberal leader in the House OF Com
mons, who followed Mr.. Royds. said
Parliament had been summoned To
give it's approval to the early steps OF
war. Never had the House met in cir
cumstances more serious or amid con-
ditions engaging to a greater degree
the profound interest of the British
people. The demands made by the
Government of the South African re-
public were such as to make il impos-
sible for the Government or any self
respecting country ever to take them
into consideration.
Actual hostilities have commenced.

sion has been committed which IL l:

OF the two queerest drugs in the world
the one called "ezcal' is the one most to
be avoided. 1t is South American
product and made by the tropical Indians
there.
A grain of 1t will make you feel the
need of violent cxertion, and once you
begin there is no stopping. You walk
till you die. Moreover, you do not walk
straight ahead, but in little circle of
two or three yards diameter. You tramp
wildly and steadily on, seeing nothing
and not suffering actual pain, but with
all your nerves on fire and your brain
spinning. You do not stop walking till
you drop dead in your tracks. The ex-
IRENE vitality Is kept up till the last mo-
mcnt. Some of the Indians have a way
of dosing their captves with this drug,
sitting around the victim while he walks.
The other drug is Il European product
called "vinard" and also acts on the
brain. A common result of this drug
when taken in any quantity is to cause
an insane dcsire-in nm educated man, at
any ratc~to do sums. 1t develops the
arithmetical powers to wonderful ex-
tent, though only for short time. Tho
victims chief desire is to get hold Of
pencil and paper, and once this Is done
he scribbles figures, sometimes making
attempts at adding them up, but never
getting them right. Presently the figures
become mere scrawls, and the usual re.
suit is death or insanity. It is well known
to men of science and is used in some
kinds Of medicine by homeopathists.-

Captain Hance famous frontiersman

tain Hance used to claim that he built
the canyon; that he dug it out all alone
by himself when he was boy; that he
loved to work so much that the eastern
states did not furnish IN adequate field
for his energy, so he came to Arizona
and tried his hand in making a canyon.
But he does not tell this story any more.
A year or two ago little girl came to
the canyon and listened with eyes and
mouth and ears open to the remarkable
experiences related by Captain Hance.
and when he had finished telling the
members Of the party to which she be-
longed how he dug the canyon all by
himself the child exclaimed Indignantly:
II don't believe word of it,
"My dear" responded Captain Hnnce
reproschfully, don't you believe that l
