WAR FAR FROM ENDED.
Pessimistic View Taken of Situation
BY a Correspondent

Manila, April (via. Hongkong, April
1O).-Though hundreds of Filipinos are
daily returning to their homes and are
desirous of resuming peaceful pursuits,
and though the proclamation issued by
the United States Philippine commits
sion has given an impulse to this move
ment, the war is far from ended. One
of the foremost American generals said
recently:
I'VE will see 100000 soldiers in the
Philippines before the islands," and a
majority of the army are of his opin
ion
II is generally considered that great
reinfOIcements are necessary, there not
being a sufficient number of American
troops in the archipelago to make a
conquest of the island of Luzon and
hold those occupied, and it is thought
that it would be cheaper in the long run
and have a better effect upon the ma
tives to establish American supremacy
effectually, than to temporize with a
score of rebellions.
All the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that a majority
of the insurgents would be glad to quit
fighting. but that there are enough pro-
fessional revolutionists left to infest
the country with bands of hundreds Of
men and to demoraliZe business for
years to come. Some high Americans
believe that the government would
wisely eXpend money in buying off
Aguinaldo and his clique of influential
Filipinos.
Foreigners in Manila think the Amer
leans are too optimistic as to the effects
Of the proclamation. They say that
the weakness of the proclamation lies
in the fact that the natives have so
long dealt with the Spaniards that they
are unable to realize what its words
mean and that the purport of its prom
ises is anything but a snare.
\ majority of the United States vol
unteers are eager to return home, and
We did not enlist to fight niggers'' is
a remark that is constantly heard
While braver work than they are doing
is impossible to find, they consider that
there is small glory in guerilla war
fare, the dangers and hardships of
which cannot be appreciated at home.
The volunteers construe their enlist
ment Ito the close OF the war; to ap-
ply to the war with Spain, and wish TO
be relieved by regulars.
The Spanish system of defending Ma
nila by a line of blockhouses may be
adopted by the American authorities
here during the wet season, as it re-
quires fewer men than the trench de-
fenses and lessons the chances of sick
ness among the defenders.
Lieutenant Steunenberg of the Idaho
regiment a brother of the governor of
Idaho, has been placed on trial by
courtmartial for calling Major Higgins
a coward in the presence of his COM
pany. II is expected that he will be
dismissed from the service.

Boise, Ida, April 10.-One of the big
gest mining. deals that has been con-
summated in the history of mining IN
the Pacific Northwest has juss been
perfected. 1t is the consolidation Of the
valuable and extensive properties of the
Florida Mountain Mining company and
the Trade Dollar Mining & Milling COM
pany, on Florida mountain. in Owyhee
county. The principals Of both COM
panses live in Pittsburg.
The consolidation takes in all the i'm
portant mines on Florida mountain
with the exception of the Black Jack,
and il is understood negotiations are
now on foot to include that dividend
paying property. Excluding the Black
Jack, however, the consolidation, as
now agreed upon, con1enplates in its
scope the operation, under one manage
ment, of the most extensive system of
mines in the wesk.
The consideration is 1.5C0 0O6. which

The new company will be known as
the Trade Dollar Mining & Milling Con-
sohdated company. and in addition to
the original properties viii own twenty
seven mines of the Florida Mountain
company.

through one tunnel, the mouth of which
will be at Dewey.

WILL CONFER WITH THE UTES
SPECIAL AGENT HARPER ON
THE WAY TO WHITE ROCKS.
Apprehensions of Serious Trouble
When Effort Is Made to Remove
White Rivers Back to Colorado.
Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Utah, April 10-E. R. Harper,
who comes as a special agent of the in
terror department, will leave here to-
morrow for White Rocks agency, where,
on Saturday, he will hold council with
Capoonn and other chiefs of the White
River Utes relative to their moving
back upon their old reservation in Colo
rado.
Mr.. Harper says the White Rivers do
not understand that when they left
their Colorado lands they relinquished,
their rights there, and he fears consid-
cradle difficulty in making the fact clear
to them. AT that time they were paid
81, ,250, 900 cash, which was invested for
them in per cent bonds of the govern
ment, and from which they get in
quarterly payments, $50,0000. Some of
the lands have since been sold to set
tiers, and the money put to their credit.
OF the reservation in Colorado, 1,S00,OOO
acres have been set aside for forest re-
serves, and the value of this he Will ad-
just with them while on this trip.
When the Utes were moved to Utah
there were some 400 Uncompahgres left
home on reservation and part OF he
mission is to place them. This, he
thinks, he can solve by conference
with Superintendent Gray, who has
charge of the irrigation system of the
Indian reservation, by bringing more
lands of the Uncompahgre and Uintah
reservations under ditch. Gray is now
on his way here from Arizona, and he
will meet Harper and go over on the
ground for the purpose of determining
just how much more land can be util-
lied If these homeless Uncompahgre
Utes cannot be placed in Utah they will
be provided for in some other locality.
There is still considerable ugly talk
among the White River Utes about re-
turning to Colorado, and it is believed
they are encouraged by the bad Indians
of the Uintah tribe. Those interested
are apprehensive of trouble.

ENVIRONMENT AND HEREDITY.
May Environment Overcome Hered-
ity?" was a question Mrs. Susan Young
Gates proceeded to answer. Her con-
clusions, she admitted, had to be nat
urally of a tentative nature.
This is an assembly of mothers, :"
said she; women who have come to-
gether to learn of the actual duties and
responsibilities of their divine calling.
at Is possible to answer this ques-
tion both in the affirmative and in the
negative and either position can he
fairly we'll sustained. Perhaps if we
say that environment may conquer the
expression of heredity but cannot Grad
icate the tendency it will be as near
the truth as we can come with our
present knowledge of the subject. When
we observe the inexorable certainty
which drunkenness, consumption and
indeed, disease of almost every kind
passes from father to son and from
mother to daughter, when we observe
the experiments of horticulturists and
stockraisers and learn how apparently
futile their efforts are to eradicate un-
desirable traits, we are we'll nigh dis
couraged with the apparent hopeless
ness of our position. Moses, the law
giver, cautioned ancient Israel: The
iniquities of the fathers shall be~vis-
tied upon the children to the third. .aAd
fourth generation Israel may have
bowed it's head in pale dismay at the
first intiInatiOn OF law which is as
old as creation itself: yet what ground
for hope and consolation was given IN
the added promise that God would
Show mercy unto thousands of them
that love him and keep his command
ments.' And it is upon this glorious
spiritual and intellectual hope and
truth that L would dwell, forsaking the
thought of stern justice, to linger with
the tender helpfulness which mercy
holds in the extended palms of her
sweet white hands
She expatiated upon the achieve
ments of modern medical science in its
successful treatment of inherited dis
eases, and observed, in connection, that
in way the weaknesses due to hered
ity could be regarded as blessings in
disguise, inasmuch as, for fear of fur
ther developing diseases, people exer
else greater care and effective prevent
ative measures are resorted to. In this
same connection, she emphasized the
advantage man has over the brute Gre
alton in the matter of heredity through
his will power. She continued:
1T is important that we surround our
children with the most helpful environ
ment possible, but between the Scylla
of governing children till they become
ethically weak and dependent, and the
Charybdis of carrying self-evolution to
the extreme, which is the laughing
stock of the world, and which we call
young Americanism, there is a happy
medium. Children should only be gov
erned until the age when reason begins
to assert itself, and then they should be
taught self-control and how to govern
themselves. Too much government IS
as bad as too little. The price of excel
lence in character building is eternal
