may be said that public sentiment would
prevent such course of procedure, but
we have had evidence enough that public
sentiment In Kentucky Is all awry and IS
likely to insist upon injustice as upon
justice. Public sentiment did not stop
the conspiracy entered into by the Demo-
cratic members Of the Legislature TO count
Taylor out In spite Of the fact that Q
Democratic returning board had declared
him elected; 1t did not prevent the offer
ing of reward for the detection Of Goebel's
murderers 50 big as to set every disreput
able detective in the state ut work in
venting evidences; and 1t has not proved
strong enough to secure the repeal Of the
most viilainous election law that was ever
conceived by corrupt politicians. A pub
lie sentiment that connived at these out

vent them, can hardly be depended upon
to prevent man being sent 10 jail and

The Philippine commission have evil
IDENTIFY found their task more perplexing
than they anticipated, and doubtless they
never expected that 1t would be an easy
one. While there is less organized op
position to the United States than when
the last commission was In Manila, the
people appear to be as reluctant as ever to
accept our benevolence at our own esti
mate. 1t is practically admitted that all
our efforts to set up local governments
so far have proved dismal failures, the
native officials whom we have appointed
betraying us as soon as our backs We're
turned and playing into the hands Of the
insurgents. 1t Is intimated In the dis
patches that the Commissioners have
about made up their minds that little re-
lance can be placed upon the natives,
and that all the local governments must
be run by Americans. We have no doubt
this conclusion will prove a correct one.
1t is practically impossible to make a
faithful agent out Of n man who hates
you, and it Is clear enough that every
Filipino hates us. The kind Of Chris
tianity that we have disseminated there
from the lannon's mouth is not the kind
that promotes brotherly love and loyalty.

MoTORMEN ExCULPATED.
70 the Editor Of the Press:

The accident which occurred TO my
daughter last Sunday through colliding
with an electric car on Stevens avenue
while riding on bicycle was due to ina
bility to control the wheel while passing
through deep sand, and being too near
the car track.
As information has reached me that the
conductor and motorman on said car were
laid off on account Of the severe shock to
their nerves, permit me thus publicly to
say in justice to them that the injured
said on reaching home, "There was no
one to bl anne but myself" l could not
think OF so unfair thing as to want to
put any blame upon any OF those whom
consider particularly careful class OF
men, the motormen Of the Portland street
Railroad Company. There has been so
much haste ON the part OF some people to
throw the blame upon others, and as
have witnessed so many instances In our
streets where accidents seemed narrowly
ayerted, that for several years l had
made up my mind that II under similar
circumstances should ever have occasion
to testify in the case, should most en-
phaticaily exonerate the motorman OF an
electric car. Let those worthy men be
assured Of our sympathy for the shock
which they received, for we realize that
it must have been terrible, as one lady
who saw the act closed her eyes, as she
said fearing what the result might be.
These remarks are made In behalf OF
men whom 50 many, and too many. are
In haste to blame and slow to yindicate.
Begging your indulgence, please allow
an expression OF many and sincere thanks
TO those friendly hands OF help which
was so promptly rendered and proved Of
inestimable value.
Sincerely,
Portland, June IL, 1900.

The most horeful thing about the sit
uation in China is that the powers seem
to be acting in concert. II they
can agree there is not much doubt that
they can prevent the Boxers
from doing any very serious dam
age. Russia has troops enough near
by to quickly aueli the disturbance,
if the powerw will consent to her
using them, and this they appear in
clined to do. A disagreemt mt among the
powers, the fear that one was seeking
some special advantage, might result in
paralysis similar to that which was wit
messed during the Armenian troubles and
produce similar results. If the powers
have all been brought to an
agreement, as appears probable, that
the troops marched into China are to
be used simply for police purposes and
withdrawn when the emergency is
passed there will be no great trouble In
putting down the Instruction.

KITE TESTS IN A BLIZZARD.
William \. Eddy EmuIntcs the Ex-
ample Of Franklin.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-William \. Eddy,
who has made an International name for
himself through experiments with kites,
tested the recent blizzard. OF his process
be says:
Saturday night / made my first cleo
tric test of a blizzard at Bayonne. y. J.
l sent aloft a siX-foot single plane kite
during the heavy gale and dense snowfall.
and a steel wire was in this way carried
to a considerable height.
Il sent up the kite at first with cord,
not believing that it would stand the gale.
This was true to the extent that the kite
was repeatedly borne down 10 within about
sixty feet of the earth. but it always soon
recovered its position aloft.
The cord and kite were then hauled in
and steel wire substituted, the wire reel
being pinned to the earth by iron pins,
driven through the snow into the ground.
l expected that the snow by dampening
the wooden reel box would cause the
electricity to be grounded and neutraliGed,
but this did not occur because the snow
sifted away from the side of the reel. leav-
ing it insulated.
This was probably the first kite electric
test Of a snowstorm ever made, but Frank
lin had tested thunderstorm, on June Is.
1852. in Philadelphia.
The falling snow dimmed the kite aloft,
but did not overweight it, owing 10 the
high wind At the time the kite was paid
out upward the steel wire was made to
run through an iron snap hook, tethered
by a chain to a long iron rod driven into
the ground. ! was forced to do this as
usual to keep from receiving severe cleo
tric shocks from the wire.
AT ) D. m. the electric connection with
the snap-hook was severed, and by means
Of a dry pine stick the wire was made 10
approach within two inches of the ground
ing rod, when the kissing sound of the
brush discharge could be plainly heard,
quickly followed by one-inch sparks.
Il was impossible to send the kite TO a
great height because the gale disabled it,
but powerful one-inch sparks continued to
be drawn when the kite was not much
higher than the Lord Avenue Church spre
nearby. The electric activity. considering
the low altitude of the kite, exceeded any
thing before observed by me. and l believe
it would not have been greater with a
thunderstorm nearby
This electric intensity continued until
545 D. m. when the gale became so Sc
we're that | was forced to haul in the kite
and wire"

GOLD IN THE TRANSVAAL.
The Bocr war Decreases the Output
ot the Mines.


The figures for the gold output of the
mines on the Witwatersrand during the
last three months of the year 1853 will
probably never be definitely known" said
George E Roberts, Director Of the Mint
to a Times reporter.
There are many reasons for this I'M
certainty. There is no reliable infOrma-
tion obtainable as to how many mines are
being worked nor is il known whether
any ore is being raised or whether ore al
ready at the surface is being milled or
tailiugs cyanided. Estimates of yield are
therefore impossible and all that can bs
relied upon are such figures as the Trans
vaal Government may care to give out.
The figures as given are 1896 ounces.
81, ,7SO ounces, and 1850 ounces in October,
November. and December, respectively.
bringing the total for the Witwatersrand
in 1899 to 4069. 16; ounces crude, as COM
pared with 1926 ,e02 crude ounces in 1898.
The production of the mines of the
Transvaal outside the WitwatersTand cur
ing the last three months of the year is
quite unknown, and it is doubtful whether
any of them have been worked at all.
Under the circumstances the output fol-
the first nine months. 1s7 ,6S1 ounces crude,
can be taken as nearly representing the
years production.
This would bring the total production of
the Transyaal mines in 1899 up to 1855 19I
crude or bullion ounces. AT the usual
valuation of WitwaterSrand gold this
would be equal to 3. .49O.573 ounces. or f0S,-
571 Kilograms. fine gold. or $12. 15O, IA In
value. AS the total for the year 1898 was
SIS. .O7O, ,T61, this shows decrease for 1893
OF g.. .92O.617. Had it not been for the
war the increase would probably have been
900 900 900 or over.

Making Clothes Out of stone.
Frem the Rival.l


The conversion of the hiniiest, rouehest, lime
stone into soft white wool is of the wonders
of the century which viii appear in practical
way to the manufacturer Wonderful and almost
impossible as it may seein,- this process is being
carried successfully, by man who expects
his discovery to reyolptiofnze the wool and cloth
manufaC turing industries,
The disccverer was making some tests Of stone
and using heat and chemicals to analyze
Them He happened upon limestone which,
when subjected TO the tests, acted Unexpectedly.
The usual course of stone under the condition he
was submitting 1t to is to become guicklime,
but in this instance il ran into lava. To all out
ward appearances the stone was common building
stone. Ii had been used in many buildings, but
II had a chemical quality that very different.
The molten mass was very pliable, like glass
when it is in the same state.
Glass may be strung out like silk, and 1t has
been converted into dress goods. The man cen
teived the idea of carrying his experiment still
further. This wlite lava subjected to ehemi
cal baths and then to . drawing out process, by
while it was converted into the finest and most
pliabic white wool.
