Thomas B, Reed Says selhshness Is
the handspring Of Progress.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Thomas B.
Reed, speaking at the annual meet
ing Of the University Settlement
Society, is in this city, said that he
had always been attracted by the
study Of what what might be termed
the Genesis of the human race and, in
fact, he had talked and written a
great deal more on the subject than
he ever knew, trying to put prophesy
in the place Of knowledge.
There is something in the nature Of

do not, we suffer pains and penalties

1t is not merely charity which con-
strains us-it is something stronger

than the saintlier virtues. So It is t.

FORECAST OF THE REPORT,
Recommendation to Be Made by the
Philippine Commission,

NEW YORK, Jan. IA special to
the Herald from washington says:
The motive, taking account of
the experience as well as the political
aspirations of the Filipinos. to devise
a form of government adapted to
them, so as to secure on the one hand
good government and on the other,
to satisfy their aspirations for self
government"
This statement relative to the Phil
ippine commissions report was made
by Jacob G. Schurman, president Of
the commission. All that Mr.. Schur-
man, cared to state further was that
the report would consist of four or
more volumes, the first of which would
be devoted TO the character of gov
ernment TO be established in the Phil
ipplnes after peace and order are res
tored. These Sre understood to be
the principal features of the govern

and natives. who will be advisers to

Mr. Reed then discussed the old
question as to why people will flock

A PATRIOTIC HEBREW.
Congress to Award a Deserved
Medal to one Who Served the
Revolution.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE presen
congress is expecting TO give a media
10 the heirs OF Haym Salomon, in rec
ognition of financial aid given by hin
to the country during the revolution
airy war.
The medal is regarded as com
promise Of a claim for 100000 whicl
has been before congress since lS4S
The history of the claim has been th'
subject of discussion by historian:
before the different Hebrew historical
sicieties throughout the country.
The claim. which was presented tC
congress in ,S4S, sets forth that
Haym Solomon, a native of Poland
contributed money for the carrying or
Of the revolutionary war. He loaned
from time to time sums varying from
$4,000 to $4,000 without considera'
tlon. 1t is alleged that no evidence
exists of any payments by the gov
ernment in discharge of its obliga-
tons to him and that, in point OF
fact, no such statements were ever
made TO his widow or children.
Haym salomon was the counuyman
and intimate associate of Pulaski
ard Kosclusco. For some time prior
to the revolution. Mr. Solomon had
lived in this country and was a mer
chant.
IS early as 1775 he became obnox
lous to the British government and
was imprisoned in New York in jai
called The PrevOt.
Escaping from prison, Mr.. salomor
was next heard of as a negotiatol
"of all the war subsidies obtained
from France and Poland" which HI
endorsed and sold in bills to the mer
chants in American at a credit Of two
or three months "on his own persona
security" without the loss Of cent
to the country and receiving only a
quarter per cent.
The secret support Of Charles III Of
Spain is alleged to have been due
partly to his efforts. He maintained
from his own private purse Don Fran
cisco Rendon, the secret ambassador
Of that monarch for nearly two years
or up to the time Of Mr.. salomon's
death.
On the accession Of the Count de Ia
Luzerne to the embassy from France
Mr.. Solomon was made the banker Of
that government. A letter from
Count Vergenunes, minister Of Spain
to de Ia Luzerne, ambassador to this
country, states that in two Year,
15O,OOO,COO livres was disbursed in this
country through Mr.. salomon.
