pigment is the blood. The shell.like

of the eyes are all produced by the
blood Just as the permanence of "A

King Edward Expresses Regret

A New York Paper On The
LANGUAGE Problem. )
Probabilities of Assimilation.

The Commercial Advertiser, of New
York, in recent issue, speaking of possible
complications due to differences of language
and dialects in the United States, says:
How are we going TO solve the Ian
gusge problem in our new possessions We
shall have to make beginning soon in
Hawaii, where the members of our first
oversee legislature are said to be almost
tongue tied by the rule requiring the proce.
edings to be conducted in English. On the
floor of the Hawaiian House natives,
Chinese, Japanese, Porto Ricans or other
Spanish immigrants will probably be rep
resented in the future, and if the present
rule is stricly carried out it will be an
example of rigid assimilation whose effect
will be useful in determining the line of
further experimentation. One marked diff
ference is apparent between our own and
the British colonies, especially the s,lf gov
erning. We have not the task of har-
monizing the conflicting language claims Of
civilized racial rivals. The nearest condition
to that would be the opposition between
the Spanish language and our own, as in
Porto Rico and minor part of the Philip.
pines. But Americans are not there in
numbers strong enough to provoke an r.
reconcilable conflict of that kind, nor is il
likely they ever will be. We have simply
to find out what the necessities of govern.
ment at once require in regard to recogni.
tion of any other language than our own
and wait for progress in industry and poll
tlcal wellbelng to determine whether or not
the diversities of sheech existing in: Hawaii,
Porto Rico and, above all, the Philippines
ore worth special way. Already, it may be
clearly seen, the commercial and Industrial
life of all those islands will have to &C.
commodate itself, so far as natives parti
cipate in it, to the rule of the English Ian.
guage. Spanish will have to disappear to
that extent. But as for the rest, the dialects
which Spanish rule never influenced, they
may be retegated to tests of fitness TO finally
survice which have hardly begun TO be
applied
The system adopted in Porto Rico OF
recognizing both languages seems to work
well, and We can assure our New York
contemporary that the question of language
is never likely to cause trouble here. All
the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly
are recorded in both lanhuages; all laws
enacted are printed in hoth Spanish and
English, as is also the case with all official
notices published in the official Gazette. In
the Legislative Assembly, as we'll as in all
the Executive Departments, competent
translators and interpreters are employed,
with the result that no friction and hardly
any inconvenience exists due to the dual
character of the language employed.

Senator Hanna Already Spoken
Of for President
Various American Papers
'TH} Discuss His Availability

&Tbe Associated Press, in despatch from
Washington, says that Senator Hanna Of
Ohio is coming to be more seriously discus
sed as presidential possibility. The sena
tor himself refers to all these stories Of
tommy rot y, but his personal and political
friends continue to circulate just such stories
The Fairfield Country Repablican, publis
he'd in Lancaster, o., has sent out feelel
to influential Republicans the country over
iu marked editorial dealing with Hanna's
virtues. 1t says, in part:
''The best citizens of the country are be

He is a safe and conservative gentleman
and would make as safe Preiident as Will

known him they will esteem him as highl,
as the President. He is for the whole peo
pie, the masses as we'll as the classes. Th
country has nothing to fear from the brain,

The Washington Post, independent, add
to this its comment, in part, as follows
"As the editor of the Fairfield Country
Republican suggests, the country will hav,
four years in which to study Mr.. Hanna il

Proposed British Tax on Sugar.
Rehners Ask for Countervail-
ing Duty.

Dispatches from London say that while it
is generally understood that the new budget
will include tax on sugar, that by no
means satisfied the influential private com.
mittee of members of the House OF Commons
which is working in the British refners'
interests. That committee is exerting much
pressure on the government to bring about
the introduction of q countervailing duty,
in addition to the halfpenny pound tax
that reports say is to be imposed on sugar.
While the government has not agreed to
the countervaiing duty it has been learned
that the committee has hopes of bringing
the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, to its way Of thinking.
The present agitation in France over the
same subject is being closely watched and
is providing powerful arguments for the
British refiners.
When the budget will be brought in is
still secret, but it is scarcely eGpected
until much later in the session.

Trouble for the Sultan in Turkey
Young Turks Post Warning
Placards.
IMMEDIATE REFORMS
DEMANDED

Advices from Constantinople state that
in consequence of reports that the Bulga
rians are contemplating the destruction of
Macedonian railways, troops are guarding
the railway lines and bridges.
In consular reports from Salonika the
arrest is mentioned of some thirty Bull
garians at various points and the discovery
of a few rifles and rovolvers.
The Young Turks, as the advocates of
progress are called, have posted placards in
the neighborhOod of the sultan's palace to
the following effect:
+" The sultan is warned for the last time
that the present state of affairs in insup.
portable, and unless amended forthwith
troubles will ensue with the object of
terminating the present tyrannical regime"
The authorities fear that next week will
see an attempt at revolution. The city and
palace guards have been strengthened, and
the troops have been notified to be in
readiness to deal promptly with any out.

agitated, but unwilling to make any conces-
sion to the dissatisfied element.
