London, Nov. 5.-Dr. Morrison, wir-
ing to the Times from Pekin, Nov. /,
says:
1.-The evidence in the PaO Ting Flu
trial to fix the responsibility for the
massacre showed that an American
lady. before execution, was led naked
through the streets and that her

OF two temples is not nm adequate pun

DIRE PREDICTIONS
FOR GREAT BRITAIN

London. Nov. 5-The reconstruction
of the British cabinet and the climax of
rowdylsm which marked the home
coming of the City Imperial volunteers
We're the topics of the week. The seri-
Gus weeklies frankly almit the shame

Imperial volunteers from South Africa
was the excuse. The Speaker declares
the degrading influences of the last
twelve months have left neither self
control nor self-respect in the populace.

and passion"
As an appropriate conjunction of this
self-analysis and confession of at least
temporary degeneracy, the National Re

pointing out Great Brltlin's dire need
of political and economic reconstruc.

and army, as at present organized. 10

gencies, and the inability of the coun-
try to cope with a sudden invasion.
These come from the pens of English
authorities which are neither historical
nor Ignorant. George ]. Goschen. the
retiring first lord or the admiralty, 1t Is
said, has let the British squadron In
the far east be outnumbered by the
Germans, and the British fleet In the
Mediterranean * asserted TO he far

coal stores and basis, while the home

and an effective mobilization at short
notice Is out Of the question. Captain
Cairnes with convincing detail, exposes
how comparatively easy il would be
for France TO land several hundred
thousand men In England (basing his
belief on the landing of American
troops near Santiagol and marching
them Into London before the whole mo-
billZation scheme could he put In ne.
tion.
Throughout these articles there Is the
evident conviction that Great Britain
must soon fight one OF the great pow.

official OF the Northern Pacific Coal
Company yesterday. ''As long as the

NIT outdoor work the demand for coal
miners will exceed the supply. Now
the mines in Wyoming and these In the

more coal than we can take out. When
there Is change In the weather there
will be more men looking for work In

we can get the coal out fast enough

which will be rushed In with the first

"The Wyoming mines are capable Of

who died of accidents and OF captured
or missing, a total almost equal to the
monthly average for the duration Of

The Express publishes sensational
statements that the Boer revival is
more serious than has hitherto been
believed, and In consequence Lord Rob

postponed. 1t says also that no con-
siderable party Of troops will return be-
fore January Or February, while the
regimental drafts from England will
continue and 5000 horses will be sent

The paper definitely declares that the
Beers are well armed and abundantly

the campaign Is likely to last another

PROF. SCHURMANN ANSWERS
SENIOR AGUINALDO'S AGENT

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 5.-Prof. Jacob
G. Schurmann, who passed through
this afternoon en- route from the west
to Ithaca, furnishes the following re-
ply to an open lteter addressed to him
by SiXto Lopez, an agent of Aguinaldo:
Mr.. SiXto Lopez's open letter of the
3D. inst, addressed to me, although
have not yet seen 1t except in the news
papers, is n gratifying proof of the cor
rectness of the report of the Philippine
commission. Mr. Lopez, by his decla-
rations, confirms all have said of the
promising educational possibilities in
the Philippines and of the admirable
character of the educated Filipinos,
few though they are, who may be
taken as type of the promise of the
future. Nor does Mr.. Lopez deny that
the masses of the inhabitants OF the
Philippine islands of all tribes and
races, are uneducated and ignorant.
Furthermore. by silent acquiescence
In the report of our committee, Mr.. Lo-
PEI acknowledges that the majority of
the Filipinos either desire American
sovereignty, ms is the case with the
men of education and property, or ac-
quiesce in it, or are Indifferent to It,
and that the demand for independence
originated with the ambitious Tagalog
insurgent leaders, who have diffused it
with fire and sword, aided by atrocious
misrepresentation of the aims and
purposes of the United States.
Lastly, Mr.. Lopez does not question
the finding of our commission that the
Inhabitants of the Philippine islands
are marked with great racial and tribal
uitTprnnrnS Inv iplnnnSn Nrnp tat loo, ,f
cial conditions which range all the way
from the civilization of Manila, down
through all phases of barbarism to the
naked savage of Mindanao and north
crn Luzon. by bewildering multiple
ity of languages which are mutually
unintelligible by dense ignorance on
the part of the masses of the people;
by the absence of union and concert.

The coast and geodetic survey has
recently completed some very careful
leyeling operations which show that
the surface OF the Gulf OF Mexico lies
perceptibly higher than that of the At
lantic ocean. Btween the surface OF
the ocean at st. Augustine, on the east,
ern snore OF Florida, and the surface
OF the gulf at Cedar Keys, on the west
ern shore. there is a mean difference
In level of nine-tenths OF foot. This
is considered to be sufficient to account
for the outpouring current of the gulf
stream. which In the narrower part OF
the Strait of Florida touches bottom.
The surplus OF water which raises the
gulf above the level OF the ocean IL
apparently received through the Yu-
cltan channel. being driven In by tho
prevailing equatorial currents from the
east.

and the utter lack of the idea and SEN
timcnt of nationality, and the absolute
ineXperience of all classes In the affairs
of government, which Spain always
kept In Spanish hands.
'And the consequence to be drawn
from all this is equally indsputable,
nor does Mr.. Lopez seek to dispute 1t.
namely. that the various and diversi'
fled peoples of the Philippine islands
are Mt the present time incapable of be.
ing considered as nation; they are ut
terly unfit to accept sovereignty over
the archipelago, even If the American
people wished to invest them with 1t;
nor have they any hope of ever becom'
ing free and self-governlng nation,
except in the continuance of American
sovereignty over them, and In the
peace, prosperity and ever increasing
liberty of self-government which the
American flag guarantees them.
Pull down our flag and you leave
the Philippines n prey to internal feuds
and domestic Instructions which
would quickly begct anarchy. This
would nccessitate the intervention of
foreign powers for the protection of
the lives and property of their subjects.
OF course the islands would eventually
be divided up among them and the Fill.
ipinos would exchange the free institu.
tions and home rule which the Amcri
can people desire, as soon as possible,
and in the largest degree practicable,
to bestow upon them, for the genuine
imperialism of the old world emperors
kings and czars.
at is the mission of our republic tO
save the Filipinos, who in general are
most promising, cstimable and even
lovablc people. from this cruel fate
and to train them up to the use OF
free institutions and the noble work
of government. just as quickly and
as generously as they or any portion
of them can be induced to exercise n
civic function so arduous and so un'
accustomed
