In a paper on Recent Ethnograph-
ical Work in Scotland" read before the
British association, MIR. Gray described
his observations on the color of the
hair and eyes of the schoolchildren of
East Aberdeenshire. The pigmenta-
ton of the Scotch children was shown
in table and compared with the con-
tinental districts, whence, according
to tradition and history, THE lowland
Scots derived a large element OF their
population-viz.: Schleswig-llolstein,
Lueneberg, and Neutrality-suspicious.,
the reputed original seats Of the Angles
and SaXous. The tables showed that
the three north German districts were
more blonde than East Aberdeenshire
Germany got more brunette and less
blonde from north to south and we
must go as far as upper Bavaria TO get
a district approXimatiug in pigmenta-
ton 10 East AberdeenShire.

The majority of the cabinet, it is
understood, favor granting amnesty
at this time. They argue that "A large
number of natives may be tired of
Aguinaldo's leadership, and will de-
sert when guaranteed that they are
not to suffer punishment for the part
they have taken against the United
States. Even Aguinaldo himself. they
say, may desire to avail himself of
the terms of AN amnesty proclama-
ton.
With the American flag flying in
all important ports and towns in Lu-
zon, il is argued that the time has
arrived for the Inauguration of civil
government and that as preliminary
the bands of insurgents still in re
volt should be given an opportunity
to accept the amnesty. The only ar
guments made against the issuance
of such a proclamation are that Agui-
naldo and his remaining adherents
may construc il rs an evidence of
weakness on the part of the American
army and feel encouraged to hold
out for better terms.

TINE RIPE FOR CIVIL GOVERNMENT.

Control of All Affairs In the Islands
and Gen. Otis to lie
KeCnlIed.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Presdent Nc
Kinley now has under consideration
propositions relative to the Philip
pines which contemplate these ac-
lions: The issuance of proclamation,
through Gen. Otis, granting amnesty
to all Filipnos in insurrection against
the United States on the condition
that they lay down their arms and
agree TO respect the authority of
the United States, and declaring that
all who refuse to acknowledge this
sovereignty within a certain specific
time will be considered as outlaws
and treated accordingly; the appoint
ment of civil commission to under
take the work of civil government
to succeed the military form of gov
eminent for the islands; the urging
of congress to make some declara-
ton showing it to be the purpose of
the United States to permanently
hold the Philippines and suppress in
surrection.
President Mckinley will send to con-
gress in few days the fun report of
the Philippine commission, which is
now before him, and the subjects
mentioned are being discussed with a
view of making some observations in
his letter of transmittal of the pres
ent status of affairs in the Philip
pines, and as to what the administra-
tion contemplates doing pending leg
islative action. If the amnesty proc

him to the civil commission. In max
ing this change the administration

satisfaction with the course of Gen.
Otis, pointing out that he had com
