The recent fatal fires in New York,

city officials charged with the super
vision of buildings to make close IN
spection of hotels, theaters and other
structures used for public purposes with
view to rigid enforcement of regu-
lations for protecting life and property
against fire. In many instances, notably
in New York, proprietors of such build
ings have been required TO proVlue au-
ditional fire escapes and exits ana some
of the most dangerous tiretraps nave

cautions should by all means be taken

arrival in Manila. They had come with the
hope and intention of cooperating with Ad-
miral Dewey and Maj Gen. Otis in establishing
peace and order in the archipelago and the
largest measure Of self-government compatible
with the true welfare of the people. What they
actually found can best be set forth in their own
words:
"Deplorable as war is, the one in which we
are now engaged was unavoidable by We

other nations and TO the friendly Filipinos and
to ourselves and our flag demanded that force
should be met by force Whatever the future
of the Philippines may be. there Is no course
open to us now except to prosecute the war un-
til the insurgents are reduced to submission.
The commission is of the opinion that there has
been no time since the destruction of the Span

possible to withdraw our forces from the is
lands. either with honor to ourselves safety

was signed It provided, among other things,
that Spain should cede to the United States the
archipe ago known as the Philippine islands;
that the United States should pay to Spain the
sum Of 80 900 900. and that the civil rights and
political status Of the native inhabitan Is Of the
territories they ceded to the United States

Walking Fish OF tho Indian Sea.

The walking fish" is a very odd
grotesque-looking creature, which an
pears rather to be the composition of
human ingenuity that a being actually
existing. 1t is native of the indian
seas. In this fish the carpal bones.
that is, the bones which represent the
wrist in man, are very greatly length
ened. and at their extremity are placed
the pectoral fins. which are short. stiff
and powerful, the pointed rays re-
sembling claws rather than fins. These
prolonged fms enable them to walk
along wet ground almost like ouadru-
peds. The Doras, a South American
hsh, Is known to travel overland in
quest of fresh waters, when its pools
are dried up by the suns heat. DIR.
Gunther tells us that these Journeys
are occasionally of such length that
the fish spends whole nights on the
way. and the bands of scaly travellers
are so large that the Indians who han
pen to meet them fill many baskets
with the prey thus placed in their
hands" The climbing perch is an
other peculiar fish, which is in the
habit of leaving the water for the land
and climbing up some of the trees
which are found near. This it does by
means of its tail and spiny fins.

them work themselves to death when

poor folk who try 10 keep themselves
looking decently know how far con-
triyance will go in making them hold
out. Skirts may be turned inside out
or died when they are faded or spot
ted and there's lot of wear in the
secondhand shoes that the cobblers
sell cheaply. OF course we'd all
rather eat the best steaks and wear

to do without them that keeps folk

you are lying around idle, and it is

like all other men, some being better
and some worse. Now, there's a poor
woman who works in the same place
