KANSAS CITY, Jan. 15.-W. ]. Bryan
passed through Kansas City for Column
bia, Mo-. where he was to speak in the
afternoon. Asked about his Minneap-
oils interview, in which he was report
ed as expressing views favorable to ex-
pansion, Mr.. Bryan said:
~ have for one year been discussing
imperialism and / have tried to distin-
guish between such an extension of the
nations limits as would not change the
character of the government, and an
expansion which converts a homogene-
GUS republic into a heterogeneous en-
pire. When the annextion of any given
territory is under consideration, the
question is first, whether the people want
to come in, and second, whether the
people are capable of sharing in the
government and destiny of this nation.
I believe that all people are capable Of
governing themselves, and that the Fill
ipinos should be allowed to govern
themselves, but do not think they are
sufficiently advanced to share with US
in the government of the nation. If the
Philippine islands are annexed the peO-
pie there must either citizens or SUBJ
jects. am not willing to admit them
as citizens and do not believe that re-
public can have subjects, therefore I
ask this nation to give them independ-
ence and then protect them from out
side interference. Each proposed an
nexation must be considered upon its
own merits, but in considering these
merits the conditions of the people
should have more weight than geo.

strong force of British troops advanced
during the morning under cover of a
brisk artillery fire and encamped at
Slingersfontein, on the Beers eastern
flank. The Boer patrols retired, but
subsequently body of Beers attempted
to seize the position, threatening COM

1t is possible that the news received

Saturday last, Jan. q. when the Beers
captured the British trenches three

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 15.-The Re-
publican leaders insist on their claim
that the contestants for state Offices
must receive a majority in each branch
of the legislature, instead of a majority
in the aggregate as claimed by the
Democrats, and this is another of the
questions which may have to go to the
courts. If the Republican contention
is sustained it is admitted Goebel
would be in exceedingly close lines in
the senate with the chances against
him. The latest poll of that body by
the Republicans is that it contains at
least five anti-Goebel Democrats, and
Senator Hill Oem.) is i'll at home with
little prospect of getting here during
the session. With Hill and Goebel not
voting the Goebel senators under these
circumstances could not muster a ma
iority.

The Court of Peter the Great

With all his grossness and his vio-
lence, Peter had the foresight to see
that without liberty for women there is
no civilization. As a young man, be-
fore he assumed the imperial crown.
his favorite diversion was to frequent
he foreign quarter in Moscow. in which
the cleanliness and elegancies Of west
ern life were to be found In the houses
Of German and English merchants and
engineers, and where he met ladies In
social life. One Of the great Tsar's first
innovations was to have evening par.
ties at court, at which Russian ladies
were ordered to appear in full dress.
These entertainments seemed q little
tiff at first, for the Russian nobleman's
.dea of enjoying himself In the seven
teenth century was to get intoxicated,
md he was possibly baked by the pres.
ence Of his female relations; but stay.
it-hOmes were punished. and gradually
party without women would have
seemed Incomplete. 1t is curious, how
.ver. to remember that the ladies' were
not allowed to be abstemious, and that
Peter the Greats ideal court lady was
she who could. drink the hardest and
longest. And the favorite beverage in
those days was Observation-Disclosures

STATURE OF AMERICANS.

L.. Of an Inch In Height Might Bring
Serious Consequence.
In a paper read by Major Henry >.
Kilbourne. surgeon United States army.
before the Association Of Military Sur
eeous OF the United States. he advo-
Gated the theory that the physical
power of q race or peOple-and, conse-
ouently, their capacity for works
measured by their average stature. For
every inch Of height between i've and
six feet the extreme breathing capac-
ty is increased eight cubic inches; the
vital capacity being at Its maximum at
IS years. A table Of measurements OF
I9O.621 native white Americans, ac-
cepted for the military service OF the
United States, shows that the number
of men below siXty-three inches In
height is but little greater than that OF
the class above seventy-three inches.
The most numerous class Is included
between sixty-seven and sixty-nine
inches, and this standard class would
have a greater chest girth than the
average. The mean height Of 125 Unit
ed States naval cadets above the age OF
% years was 67.SO inches. As these
men are drawn from all parts and
classes of the United States. they rep
resent very nearly the typical physical
development Of the American people
Of 25 years Of age.
Maj. Kilb0urne concludes that the
commingling strains Of Celtic. Danish,
Norwegian and German blood among
our people have, thus far. worked no
deterioration Of physical quality. mot
so with the swarthy, lOw-browed and
stunted people now swarming- to our
shores. Absorbed into the body Of the
people. these multitudes must irretriev-
ably evolve an inferiority Of type. To
realize the result Of such a contingency,
iet It be considered that the loss Of an
inch in stature might bring In its train
the loss Of national ascendancy. Let
us take care, then. that the state shall
suffer no injury. Boston Transcript.
