San Francisco, June 23-Dr. Charles
McQuestrin, who was on the staff of Gen
eral Otis and who was health officer at
Manila, has returned home invalided by

Captain McQuestrin made a close study
of the conditions of the Philippine situa-
ton He is Of the opinion that it will
take 100000 to 10000 soldiers to proper.
ly subdue and hold the islands.
He also says that the peace commission
was an absolute failure and that it's work
from the start was without effect. He
strongly supports the military govern
ment OF the islands, except that he thinks
more men will be necessary than has been
estimated. lie says DR. Schurman kno WIS
that the commission is a failure and is
coming home in July
UNLESS the troops, thousands of them,
are sent to the aid of our men there, they
will be driven back to Manila in the
course of the next few months, during the
rainy season. Our men simply can not
stand the climate. Fifty per cent of them
will be incapacitated by sickness. Manila
will be in state of siege again.
"One Of the greatest dangers that our
men have to face is the climate The new
corners will be at disadvantage because
the volunteers who are returning home
are Injured to the climate AS matter
of belief, the Filipinos think they have
the Americans licked already"

A Chinese PIisdriver.

Piles were being driven in one of ths
new buildings for foundation for .
punch. They were eight inches IN
diameter and fourteen feet long. The
staging was bamboo, and so was the
frame for the hammer, which was q
round piece of cast iron, with a hole in
the center for n guide rod. Attached
to the hammer block were 81 ropes, car
ried up to the top of the frame and down
on the outside, looking very much like
the old-fashioned Maypolc. Twenty
seven women had hold of the ends, and
with n sing-song. oil together, pulled
down; up the rod, four feet, trav-
cled the hammer; then, at scream, all
let go. and down it came on top Of the
pile, which was protected by band or
ring. The women were paid 20 cents in
gold per day. This Maypole driver is
in general use throughout Japan and
China.

Lord Pauncefote has declared his
intention to aid Canada in her con,
troversv with tho United States
over the disputed Alaskan bound.
AIRY line. Since t 0 recent action OF
OF this country, and England's pur-
chase OF German friendship, by re-
linquishing her claims on the Is
land OF Samoa, Great Britain has
felt that she ia safe from an alliance
OF the European force against her,
and now desires to assume the high
hand over this country. They will
demand the csding OF Pyramid
Harbor. by this government to
Canada as preliminary step, and
then submit the boundary line to
arbitration. Sixty years ago the U.
s. purchased Alaska from Russia,
and the question OF the boundary
line was never disputed until gold
was discovered, then some Canadian
official learned that the line was
wrong. II Lord Paunceforte thinks
that this government will ccde one
foot OF territory at their demand he
is greatly mistaken. Contraction is
not the order Of the day at this
time, and it will be advisable for
England TO attend to the Beers Just
at present and let the Canadian
boundary line take care Of itself.

Since the election Dick Croke
talks and it Is safe to say that Mr.
Bryan is hardly as we'll pleased
with this talk from the Tammany
leader as with the one he made
directly after his return from
Europe. Croker considers that the
rallying cry Of the democrats for
the campaign next year will be
anti-imperialism, opposition to the
trusts with the silver question in
the back ground. He asserts that
the democrats viii not consent to
DO tied absolutely to 16 to 1 but
will modify that and be content to
declare in favor OF bi.metallism
, and go no further. This is the
first thrust he makes at Organism
but he is oven more pronounced in
what effect the recent elections
would have on Bryan's chance for
denomination next year. 1T is
too early to talk of candidates" is
his evasive answer.
The prediction made at the time
of Cookers return was that his at
lection for Bryan was the hug OF
the tiger. Cookers hope of con-
trolling the democratic political |
machinery in the state Of New
York depended upon lhis success
this fall in holding tho control of
the city. He thought Brvan's
friends could help in this and he
courted Bryan effusively. Now
hat the initial point is carried
Richard is himself again, and feels
hat he can publicly plan for the
presidency, as he means to lay the
ssues He may not be able to
lefeat Bryan's nomination but he
viii defeat Organism as pro
lounced in the Chicago platform

nake the main fight upon anti
Imperialism and opposition to the
