AGUINALDO'S ADVISER.
Rafeal Del Pan Fontela Is Now in
 New York.


 New York, Dec 26.-RafaeI Del Pan fontela, lately from the Philippine is- lands, and first president of the Mad rid Junta, has arrived here from Can ada. Senor Eontela was d lawyer and editor in Manila. When the war be- gan he was Aguinaldo's chief adviser.
 Driven from the Philippines by fear Of the American soldiers, he fled with his wife and children to Madrid. There he established the first Filipino junta and was made it's president With an idea that such q junta would flourish in Canada, he left Madrid and went to Montreal. He has been there for the past few weeks.
 Senor Fontela said that it was safe for him to return to the Philippines ana resume his law practice and the publication of his newspaper were he willing to swear allegiance to the United States
 III no nypocrlte,' he continued and cannot take such an cath when my people are in struggle which must end in death or freedom. I will not return to the Philippines until in dependence has been gained.
 "Ihe impression has got abroad that Aguinaldo is dead. This is nonsense. He has large following and every man under him is there to do or die Tie war has just begun unless Ameri- ca accedes to the demands of the Fill ipinos."
 Regarding the formation of a new party among the Filipinos friendly to the United States, Senor Fontela said "This scheme is doomed to failure The leaders, Buencamino and Paterno. are leaders without a party. They are fime-Seryers. During tine Spanish domination they were more Spanish than the Spaniards. During the eff fective life of the Filipino republic they were ardent patriots. When the United States troops captured the Fil- ipino capital. Tarlac. these men all lowed themselves to be taken prison CTS and have since professed ardent enthusiasm for United States suprem- acy" .. .-

BENEFITS OF SALT.
Keeps the Heart in Action-May Start
 Anew After It Has Stopped.


 Chicago. Dec 26.-The Record says: Experiments on turtles have convinced D. Jacques Leob and Prof D. J. Lin gle. physologists at the University of Chicago. that common salt in the blood makes the heart beat. What is more, they claim that not only does salt keep the heart in action. but that it possi- bly may cause the heart to beat again after it has once stopped
 For several months Dr Loeb and Prof Lingle have conducted series of scientific tests to prove their theory and to-day made public the results they obtained.
 In the experimental work. instead of taking the heart as q whole, a small strip from one of the ventricles was used. The blood was removed and the piece Of flesh suspended in different solutions. In this way their convic- tons were adduced.
 Suspended in solution of sodium chloride the strip of turtles heart began a series of beats. Separa ted from ali nerve connections the lifeiess strip of heart muscle responded per fectly to the presence of the salty Solu- ton.
 For weeks the eXperimenters worked to ascertain what properties salt con tained to cause this rhythmytic beat ing of the heart that were not pos Sessed by calcium of potassium. the salts of which enter the composition of the blood. They found solution of the problem ill the fact that the ac- ton of sodium chloride was due to the peculiar character of the sodium. In making the Investigations they dis covered that a pure sodium chloride solution was destructive of heart tis- sues and that by mixing calcium and potassium solutions with the sodium solutions they found that the poisonous effects of sodium chloride were de StroyeQ.

No Lobby, snys Hanna.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 26. = Senator Hanna was informed of a statement which is in circulation to the effect that there was powerful lobby in favor of the substituting of American shipping at the Philadelphia convention and in Wash ington.

The subsidy bill is q business measure, and there is no desire to force it through congress. We want it to go through on its merits. It has been three years in preparation and has been amend ed 20 times. The president in all his mes sages has urged the necessity of such a measure" -ts.-

 They may henceforth be regarded as the first industrial nation, and their su- periority will become strikingly evident year by year.

MARKETS IN IFULL BLAST
A Correspondent Writes About
 Conditions in Pekin.
American and Japanese Quarters Are Well Manageable Truth In Rumor That British Will Recede From the Allied Command.

London, Dec 26.-In the course of q careful review published in the Morn ing Post to-day, of the conditions eN- isting at Pekin, Ii. J. Whigham, the Well-knoWn newspaper correspondent and golf player, says there are now q quarter of d million inhabitants pur- suing their ordinary ayOcatiOn ill the American quarter. The markets are iii full blast. He adds that the Ameri can and Japanese quarters are in all respects the best managed, showing ability on the part of the Americans to handle q Subpect people which they have not developed elsewhere to pro per advantage" Continuing Mir Whig ham says:
 This enormous portion of the city is policed by exactly one company of infantry and I few mounted men under sa provost marshal. If only these hard headed soldiers of the provost marshal's type had been given q free hand in the Philippines the task of Subjugating the unfortunate islanders would have been much more simple. If the Chinese have come out Of the mEddle with flying colorS they at least have the Americans close behind. It was worth sending an expedition to China. if only to get q few hints on transport rom the Americans. Their scheme of municipal government could not be bettered by the British who have learned the business by experi- ence in every quarter of the globe To point to contrast it is only necessary to walk down the avenue of the Chinese city dividing the United States and Germany. The American side of the street is simply Pekin in the ordinary garb of peace. minus it's variegated smells. The opposite side is almost deserted. The Germans have to come to the American side for meat and vegetables. and it is whispered that the country people are sometimes robbed as they bring in the produce. except where the gate sentries are British. American or Japanese. That is why the markets in the quarters controlled by these nations are the best"
