a lecture in the Lowell Institute last night,
said his point OF view in discussing thu
Old Testament was that OF modern liter
airy or scientific criticism.
The book Of Genesis was supposed to
have been written about l. $50 years before
Christ" said the lecturer. "but II deals
with a period twenty or twenty-five CEN
turtles before the time OF Moses. Suppossnx
then. that Moses wrote the book OF Gene
sis. how did he obtain the fact found In
the book? My opinion" continued DR.. Alb
bolt, IDS that It was written by some un-
known prophet as a sort OF introduction
to the Bible
He called attention to the two separate
and distinct acts OF the deluse, and said
that TO him Genesis seemed like an edited
book rather than a written book. II was
known to be in existence long before the
time of Noah what were the resources
of not legend and myth7'' he asked.

DEWEY, THE HERO OF MANILA, Is
COMING.


For the firmt time the great home
remedies preicribed by the late Sir
James Simpson, physician in ordinary
to her Majesty Queen Victoria, are be-
ing put up Ia this country, where
they are already commanding an enor-
nous sale, under the name of Sover-
e1gn Remedies This profound schol-
ar and scientist who was the first to
Introduce Chioroform into England
as an anaesthetic, thereby saving the
afflicted from untold sufferings and
whose statue in bronze now stands in
West Prince Street Gardens, Edin-
burgh, devoted his entire life to the
study OF the effects of medicines, and
his knowledge Of the pharmacopoeia
was so broad that his contributions to
the literature of his profession on the
subject of allopathy and homoeo-
pathy are tho standard works of the
day. In his prescriptions he selected
from either. He acknowledged no
school but his own. His sole object
was to gain results, and after a life
crowned with honor and success he
has left perhaps the most valuable lot
of prescriptions extant. His remedy
for colds was the only one that Queen
Victoria relied upon, and which she
has by her at all time for immediate
use.
These invaluable prescriptions have
been generally used in England for
over quarter of century and have
received immediate recognition in the
United States for their sovereign vir-
tues. 1t is little less than a year
since the Sovereign Remedy Company
began to put up the prescriptions in
this country and now it has agencies
all over the East, and as far West as
Cleveland, and is preparing to extend
them to the Pacific coast during the
coming spring. 1t is decidedly novel
to see distinct line of home remedies
on the market which combine in their
ingredients the discoveries of both
the old and new school, rejecting the
highest derivations of each. This is
one of the features which the COM
pany prides itself on, that it is not at
lacking any school, acknowledging
the value of both, and drawing unre-
servedly from them for the best in
gradients essential to the best results.
1t has now twenty-seven remedies,
the majority of them being Sir James
Simpsons, and the balance scientific
ally determined by the most learned
physicians of Europe and America.
Other remedies are being gradually
added as their absolute and specific
value is proved, and Sovereign Rene
dies have undoubtedly come to stay on
the simple ground of efficacy right
along the line. The medicines are put
up in tablet and triturated form, and
are sold everywhere

THE CHINESE FoREIGN oFFICE PEKTN.

as follows: Your telegram of the 10Th
day of this moon 9th of july received,
and the Secretary of States telegram
has been handed to Minister Conger.
Herewith Minister Conger's reply to the
Secretary of State, which please for
ward
The following is Mr.. Conger's reply:
'In British legation under continued shot
and shell from Chinese troops. Quick re-
lief only can prevent general massacres. =
This reply was in the State Depart
ment's hands and its contents were of
course unknown to Minister WI, who
took it there. 1t was regarded by the
State Department as genuine, as forgery
seemed under the circumstances impos-
sible.
As soon as Minister Conger's cablegranl
had been translated a cabinet council was
called in the office of the Secretary of
State and all of the cabinet ministers
accessible met in session.
President McKinley's first news of
Minister Conger's dispatch was handed
him the instant he left the train at Can
ton, Ohio, by the Associated Press cor
respondent. Scanning the bulletin, he
gave evidences of pleasure at the news.
Later, when the State Departments
statement first reached him, adding
strength to the genuineness of the news,
he was more visibly gratifed.
The State Department has received a
number Of dispatches from foreign gov
ernments relative to the Conger dispatch,
and also from American officials in
China, including Consul General Good
now. Without exception they discredit
the accuracy of the dispatch and advance
various theories to show its lack of gen
uineness. The entire burden of the an
swers indicates disposition not to move
the relief expedition on the evidence fur
nished by the Conger dispatch.

The Most Densely Populated of Our

The results Of the Porto Rican census,
taken in October last, show that the isl
and has 953. 243 inhabitants. With pop
ulation of 264 to the square mile, Porto
Rico is the most densely populated part
of our new possessions. There is good
reason why Porto Rico should have a
far larger population, in proportion TO
area, than Cuba. The island was always
theNfavored colony of the Spanish For
over two centuries Spain invited coloni-
zation. Lands were allotted gratis. while
they lasted, and settlers were exempt
from direct taxation. The interior,
small farming. Most of the land is own
ed by the peasantry and small holders,
fruit farms predominating, though there
are many small coffee estates, as well as
large and small farms raising sugar, to-
bacco and cattle. This is the reason why
four-fifths Of the population is scattered
through the rural districts and only one
fifth live in the towns. Porto Rico is
notably country of small farmers. The
island is still growing in population. Since
1887. the density has increased from 220
to 264 to the square mile. With good
government, more schools, and larger
commercial opportunities, there need be
no pause in the development of Porto
Rico. But not few observers believe
the island has population enough. There
is little prospect that an increase in
density would be advantageous.
