MORBID CURIOSITY.
There Were Many Instances of 1t .,
the Hotel Windsor Fire In
New York

Some of the many instances recorded
at the scenes at and after the great
Hotel Windsor fire bear directly upon
subject which has long interested stu
dents of the human brain. The New
York police department had much to
contend with during those awful three
days; yet of all the troubles reported
ii was neither thieves nor mobs, but
morbidly curious women who made
their lives a bore. No one has ever sat
isfactorily explained why the weaker
sex should lean TO the gloomy; yet they
do. as the popularity of such novelists
as Corelli will testify, The news of the
fire had scarcely reached the suburbs,
and many of the engines had not yet
reached the scene, declares a Broad.
way officer, when hundreds of women
of all ages, classes and conditions
fastened to the spot. They left the line
of the parade for miles along to take ir
such sight as a holocaust of perhaps
100 souls. Nothing short of actual force
could keep them back; the falling walls
themselves seemed TO have no terror
The next day il was even worse, as all
were bent upon seeing the mutilated
bodies. They would stand for hours
one, two and three squares away, to see
plain dead box go by on a wagon.
They endeavored TO evade the police by
every art known to their kind, and
when an officers back was turned
slipped by with the stealth of hardened
criminals. One well-dressed woman,
hearing that stump. or an arm, or
some such thing, had been unearthed
fairly climbed the shoulders of the
crowd to see it pass. Another, an old
German woman, pushed her way
through the struggling mob and actual
ly reached the box, into which she
stared with fascinating eyes. Yet the
majority OF them would undoubtedly

French Militartam.

There is no strong institution left in
France except the army, no force sur
viving which, If the soldiers once mani
fest their will, has any resisting power.
The republican statesmen see that
clearly, and If they do not actually
cringe TO the army in the Dreyfus case,
as their enemies affirm, they pour out
batteries, profess alteration and resent
criticism in style which recalls the
courters of Louis ". Whether the SOL
diers will use the power they possess it
is impossible to say. We think they
will, for we have never known French
man who, possessing power, has not
wished to display il; but we admit that
they are shackled by the insigniticance
of their leaders, and may decide that it
is better to await an attack from the
civil power, which the civil power will
never deliver. All we profess to feel
certain about in the general confusion
is that power is with the soldiers, and
that il they exert it to make revolu-
ton it will be in favor of the dynasty
which is to them what the Julian line
was to the soldiers of imperial Rome

relation to the conditions in the Philip

good part of the situation there:

The most careful estimate of the Tagals'
all inhabiting Luzon, is two and a half mil
Lions. and from them is drawn the main
mart of Aguinaldo's army. They live in
the cities or in the lowlands near the cities,
and constitute the laboring class OF Luzon'
along with a comparatively few half-caste
Chinese. They are Catholics for the most
part. though Aguinaldo is said to be a
Protestant. and the Archbishop of Manila
says they are descended from Arabs who
inhabited the archipelago at an carly day,
and from whom they inherit their waIlike
spirit; that they will fight for fights sake
II they can find no other provocation. In
many respects. however, they are the most
amiable of human creatures, though indo-

virtual enslavement and tyranny more
dreadful than they ever experienced. That
they firmly believe the penalty for their
present rebellion is death is the report Of
the American commander. The wounded
Tagals who have fallen into American

The yauko-Germnn Movement.


The German-American citizens in Chi

soIidate the German influence in this
country for the purpose Of promoting
peace and friendship between the young
est and the oldest State dominated by peo-
pie Of Teutonic blood. both being ex-
emplars OF the grand civil;:ing ideas and
intentions of the family at large.
We are heartily glad to witness the in
auguration of this movement because,
when people like our Intelligent German
American citizens begin to realize the ad-
vaniages of q kinship understanding with
the nation which represents the parent
stock of our great common I'm de steele"
crusade for trade and humanity, We are
encouraged 10 believe that a new and i'm
portant thinking element has been added
TO the consideration of economic and in
ternational problems that must occupy the
attention of American statesmen and all
patriotic citizens for some time to come.
II years ago the German Americans in
the United States had seen the-tendencies
OF thc Chinese Wall tariff system Of the Re-
publican party which they have generally
supported. to create unnecessary troubles
between this country and Germany, and to
at once depress the public interests of both.
they might have done a great work in
sverting the present commercial antagon-
ism between the two States. It may be
said with truth that the German element
is so strong that. if organized in support OF
the trade principles held by the Democratic
party. such an outrageous system as that
illustrated in the Dingley tariff would have
been impossible
We are glad to see our fellow citizens
OF TeutOnic descent waking up to the ideas
and demands of the hour. 1t is satisfactory
to even suspect that as a class they begin
to realize what their blind adhesion TO
Republican fiscal heresies and the results
Of those heresies in the growth and domi-

has led to- We hope that they will keep
on thinking. as all sturdy Teutons do when
once they get started. and come TO see that
there is but one solution possible for the
great world problem presented to mankind
Today. and that that is a thorough under
standing, a common general purpose and
policy among the Teutonic peoples-the
United States. Germany and England.
Il is needless for this journal to again
state why. We have frequently endeayored

Commission says in its proclamation. Be-
sides the Tagals, Aguinsldo has compara-
lively few savages from the hills, and q
smaller body of good soldiers from another
tribe.
The Visayas happened to be in rebellion
against Spain when the Americans cap
tured Manila and they had Spanish force
surrounded at Iloilo and which surrender
ed to them. When General Miller's small
expedition reached there, the insurgents
refused TO allow it to land and when it
was re-enforced they offered slight resist
ance and fed. Since then they have shown
no disposition to make war and would
promptly lay down their arms If Aguinaldo
should succumb. The most of the inhabi-
tants Of other than the Mohammedan ISL
ands could not be induced TO oppose the
Americans, and the recognition of the sui
tans who govern the Mohammedans would
bring the latter to consent TO American
sovereignty.
The population Of the Philippines is va
riously estimated at from seven to nine
and half millions. The Spaniards never
attempted 10 make complete census.
Whatever the number, a good deal less
than two millions supply the troops that
are resisting the authority of this Gov
ernment. Among the people in the many
towns OF Luzon are Tagals who have de-
cided TO accept American rule. If il were
not for the opportunity which that island
affords for an Indian method of warfare. or
IL the recent American campaign had been
directed against the escape of the rebels
into the interior. the war would be over
and with no fears of a future insurreetion.
