two planets end here. The two globes
strange as 1t may seem, have almost pre
eisely the same weight. IL one could
imagine pair of ordinary scales so in
mense as to be able to hold both planets.
with Venus in one pan and the earth IN
the other, it would be found that there
was practically no difference between
the weights of the two bodies.
The question of the possibility that
other planets beside our own may be
inhabited by intelligent beings is always
an interesting one. but it becomes par
ticularly fascinating at the present time
in view of certain new discoveries in
relation to this planet that is so nearly
twin to the earth for il is now known
definitely that if Venus is not inhabited

THE DAILY ROTATION.
The changes from day to night and

sary for us to learn how far the period
which the planet requires 10 complete
turn may agree or disagree with the
time required by the earth for similar
movement
This was the question that was asked
in relation to the planet Venus and for
all time it has been supposed that it took
so much longer for her TO make the turn
on her axis than the period of twenty
three hours and ffty-six minutes, tn
time taken by the earth, that it wot.

BATsON,s MACCABEBEs.
They Rendered Good Service In Chase
After Aguinaldo.

washington, April e.-The war de-
partment today made public the reports
OF Lieutenant Matthew a. Batson, OF
the Fourth cavalry In regard TO the or
ganfzatfon and operations of the Mac
cabebe scouts, who formed a part of the
armies Of Gen Lawton and Gen. Young
in the exciting campaigns in pursuit o.
AguinaldO in northern LuZOn. For his
remarkable success with this military
band OF natives. Lieut. BaLSon has been
appointed a major Of volunteers and
placed in command of a cavalry battal-
ion Of Eilipinos to be Immediately or
ganized with the Maccabebe scouts as
a nucleus. Major BatsOn's report Is long
and covers all the details of active Op-
erations of the Maccabebes from the
time Of their organization, September i.
TO November 19, when he was obliged to
relinquish command by reason of a ser
ious wound of the left foot received in
an engagement at Aringay river
There were five companies Of these
native scouts, numbering about 500 in
all and they were uniformed armed
equipped and treated in every other re-
spect like United States troops. Many
of them had seen previous service as
on-conmissioned officers in the Span
ish army, under Gen Blanco. These
men were assigned to similar duties in
BatSOn'S command. They were intelli-
gent. brave and hardy. and proved ex-
cellent soldiers. In order to avoid the
possibility OF mistaking their fire for
that of the insurgents, they were armed
with United States magazine carbines.
and to facilitate their movements over
the numerous small streams through
the island they were supplied with sew
eral Bancas-small native canoes. In
asmuch as they were unfamiliar with
the English language the American Of

cision in the governorship- case in favor
of the Democrats. The opinion is by
six of the judges, four Democrats and
two Republicans One Republican,
Durelle, dissented.
Judge DureIle was the only Judge dis
senting. The other two Republican
judges, Burnam and Guffy. gave a sep
arate opinion from the Democratic
judges. but agreed with the Democratic
members in their conclusion
Judge Hobson wrote the opinion Of
the court. The concurrence of Judges
Burnam and Guffy with the four Demo-
cratic judges was a surprise generally.
but to the Republicans especially, and
there is much speculation now as to
whether the talked-of appeal to the su-
preme court will be prosecuted.
The opinion holds that the action of
the legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final, and that the courts
have no power to review it; that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjOurning the legislature to London,
and that the journals of the two houses

TORTURED.
Indignities Suffered by an
American in Peru.

An amazing story of indignity in

In a sworn statement which he has
filed with the department Gottfried as
serts that he was seized by Peruvian
revolutionists in the summer Of 1898
and subjected to torture, in addition to
which his house was sacked and de-
strOyed.
The ravolutionists demanded that he
produce 5000 soils. between s., SEQ and
$4,000, and 25 rifles within Is minutes,
or submit to chastisement in what is
/ termed in Peru the flying stocks -
When he said he was unable to COM
ply with the demand he was knocked
/ down by blow from a gun and over
powered His thumbs were tied to-
gether with thongs and his hands twist
ed back of his head Heavy rifles were
! inserted between the inverted elbows
/ and his head, and in that position he
/ was strung up. In a short time the
/ agonizing pain rendered him insensible.
