would mean a saving of not less than
So, 00O,000 year in cost of their main
tenance.
According to different authorities,
from 80 to rs per cent. of our insane
and imbecile people have become such
directly or indirectly through drink.
We have more than 265, 900 of these to
care for. If one half the number were
saved from their sad fate by prohibi-
ton the enormous sum of SIS, ZOO, 900
yearly would be saved in their main
tenance.
We keep from 80, 900 to 90 900 Grim
inals on the average in our jails and
prisons. No one would estimate their
cost to the state or country at less
than 500 year each, notwithstand-
ing the value of the labor of some of
of the convicts. This means about
$50, 900. 900 yearly for this item. With
prohibition at least three-fourths of
this amount, or $63, $50, 900 would be
saved. But this is very low esti-
mate. The real cost of our places of
penal punishment alone is not less
than $500, 100000.

Prof. N. S. Shaler, of Harvard Uni
versity, is the author of thoughtful
article entitled "The Transplantation
of Race" which will appear in Ap-
pleto1a's Popular Science Monthly for
March. 1t is a discussion of the forces
which led to the introduction of the
negro into America and the conditions
attending his acclimatization. Prof.
Shaler, who grew up in the South,
throws quite a new light on some of
the pressing aspects of the race ques-
ton, and his articles are sure to prove
extremely valuable in the North by
giving their readers just view of the
real problems which the South has
got to meet in its struggle with the
negro question.

big PIER BURNED
New York Fire That Cost
About $I,ooo,ooo.
MANY PERSONS BARELY ESCAPED
Several Barges MoOred Near the Pier
Were Destroyed-Child Drowned
Buildings ScOrched.

New York, May 8.-A fire that start
ed at the river end of the Mallory Line
steamship pier, at the foot of Maiden
Lane and the East river early this
morning, completely destroyed the pier
and its valuable contents.
The police place the loss at $1,000.
900. Several barges, which were
moored near the pier, were also de-
stroyed, and many rescues of their cap
tains and of members of the families
on board were made. One life was
lost. The 9-months-old daughter of
Captain Charles Lochs, OF the barge
Sherwood, was drowned.
The Mallory pier was 200 feet long
and so feet wide. The pier was filed
with valuable freight. mostly cotton.
On the north side of the pier were
moored a number of coal and cotton
barges, while on the south side was the
steamer San Marios and number OF
barges.
No sooner had the work of fighting
the flames begun than the firemen
turned their attention to saving the
lives of those ON the barges which were
lying within the line of danger. Near
est to the pier was the barge Stephen
B. Elkins. Her captain, Frank Fox,
and his wife and 3-months-old daughter
were on board sleeping. A skid was
quickly run from the pier to the coal
barge and the occupants of the boat
were awakened ana were hurried from
their hunks to place Of safety before
the flames reached them.
On board the barge Sherwood were
Charles Lochs. the captain. 36 years
old; his wife Lenns, 30 years old, and
their daughter, Rosie, 8 months old.
The Lochs family was awakened by the
flames. Their barge was already on
fire. The father took the 9-months-old
baby in his arms, and with his wife
jumped into the water. Timothy
Boyle, formerly in command of the
barge New Brunswick, whose home is
at Rondout. N. Y, plunged in to save
the woman, who had become exhaust
ed. Her husband, who still held the
baby in his arms, saw that his wife
was on the point of going down. II
became question with him as to which
he should save. his wife or baby. He
let the baby go, in the hope that she
would be picked up by some one else,
and went to the assistance of his wife.
He managed to hold her head above
water until Boyle reached them. All
three were then landed by life lines,
the child being lost. The half drowned
captain and his wife were moved to the
Hudson street hospital, where they re-
covered. On the coal barge H. H
Hand, which lay alongside the Other
burning bsrges. were the captain,
Joseph Plumb, his wife and two chill

AGUINALDO IS ALIVE
Young Reports That He Has
Joined Tino's Band.
FIGHTING IN SOUTHERN LUZON
Recent engagements with Rebels iR
the Visayas Resulted in the Kill
Ing OF aSO of Them.

Manila, May 9.-Telegrams received
here from General Young report that
Aguinaldo has rejoined the rebel Cen
eral Tino, in the north and that they
have reassemb bled considerable force
in the mountains. General Young de-
sires to strike them before it rains, and
asks for reinforcements. The tenor of
the dispatch leads to the belief that
General Young Ia confident Aguinaldo
is with Tino, and it is presumed they
are preparing to fight.
A detachment of the Forty seventh
regiment met and routed band of the
enemy between Legaspi and Riago,
province of Albay, April 10. Two
Americans were killed and five wound
ed. including two officers. The Fill
pinos lost heavily. The conditions
around Legaspi and Sorsogon are re-
ported as considerably disturbed.
The rebel attacks on the American
garrison in Visayan islands recently
have resulted in the killing of $50 of
the enemy and the wounding of two
Americans. At daybreak, May /, 400
rebels, 100 of them armed with rifles,
attacked Chairman. in Northern Samar,
in the vicinity of Catubig. Company
F, of the Forty-third regiment, was
garrisoned at the place. The enemy
built trenches ON the outside of the
town during the night and fired volleys
persistently from them, until the
Americans charged them, scattering
them, and killed l55 OF the Filipinos.
Two Americans were wounded. This
attack was precipitated by the enemy's
recent successful fight at Catubig. The
garrison ofsCatarman has been removed
to the seaport OF Laguan.
A force of Filipinos, estimated to
number 200, armed with rifles and
bolos, and operating four muzzle-load-
ing cannon, attacked Jaro, on Leyte
island April 10, which place was gar
risoned by men of company b, Forty
third regiment, Lieutenant Estes COM
mading. Estes left l5 men to protect
the town, and with the remaining 10
men he advanced on the enemy In two
squads, sheltered by ridges south of the
town, whence they stood off the Fill
pinos for three hows. Then 20 armed
members of the local police force sailed
out to help the Americans. The latter
with the police, charged the enemy ant
together they dispersed the Filipinos
and, after the fighting was over, buried
1876 OF them. There we're no American
killed.

friction between the Russians and
Chinese in Manchuria on the Russian
railway construction route. In one
case a detachment OF 86 Chinese sol

Cossacks. who were doing police duty.
The Cossacks attacked and pursued the
Chinese, cutting them down. The
Russian government sent complaint
to Peking, demanding the punishment
of the Chinese officials of the district.

wREckAaE OF A LINER.
Passed In Mid Causes Anxiety
in Marine Circles.

In Marine Circles.
Chicago, May "a special TO the
Record from Philadelphia says:
Captain Campbell, of the British
steamer Tenby, which arrived at Phila-
delphia today from Port Said, brings an
account Of wreckage passed at sea,
which is causing great anxiety among
shipping men. The captain believes
q maritime disaster has occurred, in
volving the loss OF an Atlantic liner.
The Tenby fell In with the wreckage
mentioned at point west of the mid
Atlantic and the lookouts observed q
bark flying distress signals, but 1t was
to far off and the sea too rough for the
steamer to render any assistance.
Toward sunset on April 80, when the
Tenby was steaming slowly westward
against heavy seas the lookout reported
that her path was obstructed by float
ing timbers and spars for considera-
BILE distance head. Captain Campbell
himself saw portions of deckhouse,
pieces Of planking, seemingly from q
vessels hull, and many minor objects,
oil OF which seemed to have been in
Ahe water only q short time. There
were steamer chairs and other fine
furniture not generally carried by
freight steamers. Night closed in as
the Tenby resumed her voyage. The
locality Of the wreckage is given on her
logbook at latitude 81 north. aud be-
tween longitude SO and 90 west.
The next day. May /, the bark was
seen apparently in distress. She was
a large, four.masted vessel, painted
slate color, and had several signals out.
Soon after she was sighted she disap-
peared in the fog.
Captain Campbell said today that If
the vessel was in need of assistance she
was in a favorable position to receive
1t. Her situat ON was directly in the
track of shipp M between New York
and the equator.
He did not connect the wreckage
passed with the bark in question, but
many who heard the story are inclined
to the opinion that the bark collided
with and sunk another craft, Of which
only the wreckage remains. The bark
is south Of the path of Atlantic liners,
and II the vessel which is supposed to
have been lost is really an ocean grey
hound, she must have been far out OF
her course when the collision occurred.
On the other hand, the wreckage Is
directly in the line OF the craft which
ply between the northern ports and
those Of South America.

GENERAL GARCIA CAUGHT.


Manila Bay, May 0.-General Pante-
lon Garcia, the highest insurgent off,
ser, except Aguinaldo, was captured
yesterday by Lieutenant E. P. Smith,
of General Funston's staff, in the town
Of Jaen, three miles northeast OF San
Isidro, province of New Ecija.
Garcia personally conducted the
guerilla operations, and General Fun
ston had spent weeks in trying to cap
ture him, several companies beating
the whole country at night. Often the
Americans caught messengers bearing
Garcia's orders. The people protected
him and burned signal lights whenever
the American soldiers appeared.
Recently General Funston surprised
him and his staff while dining at Ara
vat at dusk. The Filipinos leaped
through the windows and escaped,
leaving their papers and everything OK
cept tke closhing they wore. The strain
of being hunted finally exhausted their
endurance.
General Funston, who came to Ma
Mia to bid farewell to General Otis,
will retarn and endeavor to persuade
Garcia to secure the surrender of his
forces which number several thousand.
Most OF them live in the mountains.
Jaen is the largest ungarrisoned
town III the province. Spies reported
that Garcia was sick and had been
compelled to hide there, and Lieuten-
ant Smith with Lieutenant Day and
40 cavalry, surrounded the town. The
spies led them directly to the house
where Garcia was disguised as peas
ant, only major and two servants be-
ing with him. They also were cap
tured.
Garcia commanded all the insurgents

Guiding Pic del Pillar and Mascardo,
