In an Interview He Declares the Situa-
ton in China Demands the Immediate
Assembling of Congress.

Denver, Col, Aug. EN- an inter
view published here yesterday United
States Senator Henry NJ. Teller ex-
pressed the belief that ''the situation
in China demands the immediate as
sembling of congress- ''The presi-
dent,'' Senator Teller added, sis rot
justified in going further than to
protect our official representatives in
that country. When that is done our
army must be withdrawn, unless con-
gress shall order otherwise. The
president cannot declare war, that
can only be done by an act of con-
gress and the president cannot legally
carry on a war in China without such
declaration. Regarding the Philip
pines the senator said: "The war

satisfy the people there that we in
tend to concede them self-govern-
ment. They are anxious for an OPP
portunity to prove their fitness to
maintain a government of their own,
and no one who is familiar with their
character and requirements can doubt
their capacity in that respect. I have
urged ever since the war began that
we take steps to convince the Fill
pinos that we are not going to deny
them participation in their govern
ment'

boiling water, at 200 pounds pressure,
that would effectually kill anybody

The receipts of the post offices of
the country in the fiscal year 1890
We're $59,OOO,OOO, while they were $97,-
100000 in the fiscal year 1900. The 12
months which have just ended have
broken all records in the post office
business as in many other branches
of activity. There has been a steady
gain in postal receipts for many
years, except that the fiscal year 1894
and 1895 showed smaller figures than
for 1898. This was due to the finan-
cial CONFUSION which began around
the middle of 1898.

1t is significant that physicians who
have been examining the eyes of pu-
pills of one of the public schools of
Jersey City have found that out of
351 children examined only 90 had per-
feet sight. The parents of the chill
dren whose vision is at all imperfect
will be compelled to get glasses for
the little ones. AS this Jersey City
school contains just an average gath
ering of children there is surely a
lesson here for school boards and par
Rnts everywhere.
