IN THOROUGH ACCORD.
Denied That the President and Secre-
tarX Hay Disagree to China.

tary Hay Disagree AS to China.
Mr.. Adee, the acting secretary of state,
does not hesitate to set the seal of his Sc
we're disapproval upon the stories that have
been put afioat to the effect that there has
been a disagreement of policy between the
President and Secretary Hay as to China,
involving possible changes in the cabinet.
Mr.. Adee says these stories are mendacious
and are absolutely lacking in foundation
and truth.
He feels able to enter the broadest posi-
BILE denial for the accuracy of the state
ment, for the reason that he has been him
self in daily and almost hourly communica-
ton with the Secretary of State by mail and
wire at the latter's home, and Is perfectly
acquainted with the Secretarys views re-
specting pending issues. Therefore he is able
to say that Mr.. Hay is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the President in his Chinese pol
icy, while on the other hand the President
has given his unqualified approval to every
step in the negotiations directed by Mr..
Hay.
In view of the conflicting statements that
have been made as to the Secretary's ply
sical condition, it may be stated by author
ity that there is no warrant for the belief
that he has at any time been in serious
danger. He left Washington thoroughly
exhausted man. having spent many of the
preceding weeks In a devotion to duty so
closely as to INVOLVE the consumption of all
of his waking hours, not only during the
official day, but at night, and even on
Sundays. The relaxation following this
tremendous exertion left him a very weak
man, and naturally ii has been difficult for
him to recuperate rapidly. but he is max
ing progress, though ii is not expected that
he will find 1t prudent to resume the active
discharge of his duties at the State De-
partment before the end of the present

The holy Of HOLES in this room, accord
ing to Filipino ideals, is the recumbent inn
age of Jesus. With this statue of the
Savior, Aguinaldo claimed to have held
many long conversations. and his ignorant
and deluded followers believed that the
image of Jesus often gave the Self-consti-
tuted dictator advice as to the manage
ment of the instruction. When Aguinaido

sympathizers In Bincayan went SO far as
to say that Lieut.. Barry was afraid to

these assertions came to the ears Of the
officer whose life had been threatened he
at once proceeded to show the natives how
little he cared for their clustering. Going
Immediately to Bincayan, he collected
number of braggarts and admonished them
to do less talking or they would get into
trouble.

river steamer. he pointed toward this

it would.
at will be well remembered how high and
massive the building looked before the fire
It's roof lowered well in the air, and the eve
was lifted upward as it sought the topmost
cornice. And overlapping the structure, APP
parently to a great height, rose the big
chimney.
"a close inspection will now strike the
average observer that even the chimney
itself does not appear to be so very high:
not nearly so high as when its TOD sur
would involuntariy linger on the building
as the gaze assembled from story to story
Now 1t takes in the discolored fire-burned
ridges on the lower half OF the chimney at
a glance
'sThese ridges represent the position of the
former stories, and you will notice that they
appear very close together: so close that it
would seem from here that a tall man could
reach from one to the other, and to one who
is not familiar with the height and appear

said that the structure had been low,
Squatty one, with very short stories which
was not the case.
Distances are not as deceptive on land
as at sea. yet it is as hard for some people
to measure them with the eye as il is to
estimate the number Of persons in a crowd
The ability of seaman to estimate the dis
lance between his vessel and another or
the shore, Is remarkable, and quite out of
the power of a landSman. Captains will es-
innate distances with great accuracy. To a
landsman objects at sea appear nearer than
they really are. There is a smooth. identi-
cal surface between him and the object
which focuses the latter close to his eve.
On shore the unduations Of the landscape
trees. buildings. etc. give MIN guiding lines
to establish his estimate.
II will give you another point as regards
the deceptiveness of that chimney. stand

were suddenly to appear on its top he would
show up in a silhouette against the sky at
about his natural size AS a matter of
boy. This was well illustrated by
the freak bicyclist who last summer
pedaled for week. or more on top of
the chimney for glory. Though a full
grown man. he looked like a boy. and it
was several days before he was seen. or.
pie would not believe there was a man on
wheel up there. It was only when he raised
a huge umbrella to shield him from the sun.

this Is because there Is no nearby object of
