At that minute a cab ratified up, and
the driver dismounted and said:
"See here, old man, there is mis-

a two dollar bill. and thought it was

Women Rulers.

Considerably more than half the hui

women - the empress dowager OF
China and the queen of England
alone govern about half the centre
population of the world. The third
in Importance is young Queen Wilhel-
nina of Holland, whose home land
numbers less than 100000 souls, but
whose colonies have 9O,QOO,OOO. Spain
is ruled by a woman, Queen Regent
Christina, in the minority of her son.
1t is expected that the queen mother
Margherita will have great influence
over her sons kingdom, but her case

A CLEVER CHINEE.
He Draws Keen Comparison of His
Religion and other
Peoples.

zone of the most brilliant men Of my
acquaintance is Chinaman," said John
b. Galore, of New York, TO a Washing
ton Post reporter. "He has tea house
up in our metropolis, and he is a scholar
as well as importer of the leaf. We were
talking about the Chinese imbroglio
several days ago, and conversation
drifted from Boxers and the taking of
Peking to the teachings of Confucius.
He called attention to the fact that mis-
sionaries were trying to Christianize
native Chinese who cling to religion
which has stood the test 5000 years,
and had nearly 100000, 900 followers,
while the Christian religion is scarcely
1000 years old with many followers of
divided belief.
"'You Christian believers remind
me- he explained, of the Chinaman
who stood on the river shore and
watched the moon rise over the hill. A
ray of sublime light came to him. II

toned at other places and he called TO
them to come quick and behold his own
beautiful ray of light. They replied
that they also followed beautiful rays
of light to the same moon. From what
ever position they looked they caught
a ray equally as beautiful. That's the
way with religion, and especially yours
You are looking at the light of good
ness, emanating from the Divine
source, and each thinks he has a monop-
oily, like the lone Chinaman with his one
ray of Light"

ty boys who went west with nothing

ing hands. He borrowed the money
to buy a team few years ago and
put out fifty acres of wheat on rented
land. This year he reports five
thousand bushels on two hundred
acres, One third he gave for rent.

either. Three years ago they took an
extended trip to Indiana and the East,
this summer he sent his wife to the

FAVOR PACIFIC CABLE.
Officials Inform the Senate Committee
That the Plan of Construc-
ton liz Feasible.

Washington, Jan. II. - Secretary
Long and Rear Admiral Bradford APP
peared before the senate committee on
naval affairs Tuesday in advocacy of
the construction of Pacific cable by
the government. The secretary's state
ment was general and related entirely
to the feasibility of the plan and its adj
vantage over doing the work by pri-
vate enterprise. Rear Admiral Brad
ford detailed the operations of the col
lier Nero, which is now engaged in maxi
ing preliminary survey of the pro-
posed line west of Honolulu. He said
that the survey had been completed and
that the Nero was now on its return
making zgzag survey. According to
the reports of the preliminary work the
proposed cable was entirely practic-
able. 1t is to run from San Francisco
to Honolulu, thence via Midway is
lands and Guam to Dingala bay, Island
of Luzon, with spur for commercial
purposes to Yokohama. The average
depth between Honolulu and Midway is
2,7OO fathoms, between Midway and
Guam 5000, and between Guam and Lu-
zon 1880. He estimated the cost at
$1,000 per knot, which, with the amount
necessary for steamers, Offices, etc.,
would bring the cost up to $1O,OOo,o0o.
He placed the entire length of the cable
at 1924 knots, which allows 20 per cent.

though nothing indicates decrease of

turn of 100000 from the interior during

Philippine Comm i.sion Ha. conp,et-

VIII Soon BE Ready.

Washington, JAM. 1.-THE Philip
pine commission has completed its re-
port and dispatched it to the public
printer, and there is every reason to
believe that the first volume, at least,
can be laid before congress within
week.. Because of the tendency of the
Philippine question just now before
congress it is regarded as desirable
by the commission that this material
be submitted at the earliest possible
moment.
ranged in an orderly fashion that will
make it particularly valuable for use
as a reference work. 1t will be divided
into seve,al volumes. The first vol
ume is devoted entirely to the political
issues involved in the acquisition of
the Philippines. It sets out the in
structions of the president to the COM
mission and describes the operations
of the commission under those instruc--
tons. Then follow chapters on vari-
Gus subjects-government currency,
the Chinese question, naval requisites,
etc. OF these subjects the one treated
at by far the greatest length is that
of government. It describes the gov
eminent under three heads-frst,
that existing in Spanish times; Sec
end, the reforms desired by compe-
tent Filpinos under that system;
third, the plan of government sug-
gested by the commission on the basis
Of their experience in setting out the
aspirations of the Filipinos them
selves.
The second volume will be devoted
to the resources of the island and
these are sufficiently important and
numerous to occupy full volume IN
their description. Other volumes will
follow containing the great mass Of
testimony taken by the commission, in
pursuance of the presidents instruc-
tions. Altogether, the commission
feels that it has covered the ground
with great thoroughness, and as it's
information has come from all sources
the facts set out in the report, it be-
lieves, cannot be controverted.

At n Meeting in Havana 1t Decides
to Establish High Schools in
Each Province.

Havana, Jan. 17.-At meeting of
the cabinet numerous matters were
under consideration. Definite arrange
ments We're made regarding the organ
ization of high schools. One will be
established in each province. It was
also decided that the municipal judges
shall be paid definite salaries and not
be left to court fees for their stipends.
Counsel will be appointed at the pub
lie expense to defend accused persons
unable to retain them.
Considerable attention was given to
the question of public works, all the
secretaries expressing themselves Us
much gratified at what has already
been done in this direction.
The yellow fever statistics since the
beginning of the year show improved
