President Wheeler said the purpose of his
visit TO this city at this time was TO choose
an architect for the new school of mines
of the university. He said that the plans
of the university buildings, which are to be
erected at a cost OF from sS,0Oo,OO to $10,-
100000, through the generosity of Mrs.
Phoebe Hearst, have now been revised,
and that great economy has been assured
by the change. The presidents house is
already being built and the school of mines
is to be built as soon as an architect Is
chosen to perfect the detailed plans.

Information Received by President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The following
dispatch was received at the Navy De-
partment this afternoon from Admiral
Remy. dated Manila Jan. 4:
"An attack on the morning of the Sd
inst. by the Fourth Infantry, marines and
navy at Cavite resulted in the capture Of
one lieutenant colonel, two majors, five
captains, one lieutenant, forty-eight pri-
vate insurrectos and four ladrones."
MANILA, Jan. 4.-Generals Wheaton and
Bates report many small captures, the de-
struction OF insurgent camps and the seiz-
ure of supplies, animals and other neces-
stiles. Among the captures in Smiths dis
trict was Colonel Techon, the insurgent
governor of Tarlac. General Grant is per-
sonally in command of a mounted expedi-
tion In the mountains OF southern Pam
pangas, which he says is the only locality
where the insurgents are in force in his
district. Insurgents entered Gapan and
San Isidro. in General Funston's district.
during the night and burned score Of
houses. Their firing was ineffective.
General Macarthur has commuted several
death sentences of military courts to i'm
prisonment.
Judge Taft's written opinion on the San
Jose College case was considered and in-
dorsed by the Philippine Commission this
afternoon. 1t will be made public to-mor-
row. The enactment Of the school bill has
been deferred on account of the desire of
the Filipinos to be heard on the bill as COM
pleted. 1t differs radically from the one
prepared by Superintendent Atkinson and
indorsed by General Macarthur. The latter
appropriated s1,65o,000 outright, to be dis
bursed by Mr.. Atkinson under the super
vision of General Macarthur. The COM
pleted bill directly appropriates only $4,000
and reserves to the commission authority
over plans for schoolhouses. and also re-
quires Mr.. Atkinson to report to both Gen.
Macarthur and the commission. The COM
mission has authorized the Department of
Public instruction to proceed with the busi-
ness intrusted to its administration.
Many inquiries have been received here
from the provinces concerning the Federal
party The organizers are establishing a
daily newspaper and three weeklies, to be
published in Spanish and Tagalog In the
province of Pampanga.

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-"This is about the
fortieth time Aguinaldo has been killed."
laughed Senior Sixto Lopez, the Filipino
envoy, when he was shown the report to-
day that the insurgent leader was dead.
II think it would be very foolish to attach
any Importance to the prattle of these stu
dents" continued Mr.. Lopez. 81 know the
Buencamino family in Manila, and I am
certain they are not in position to be in
trusted with great secrets by the Filipinos.
Before the Americans came Buencamino
was very loyal to the Spanish. Then he
became Filipino leader for short time,
and now he is an American. Do you think
II is likely he could get information of this
kind so long before 1t came TO the ears of
Gen. Macarthur? All that 1 can say def
nitely about the matter is that Aguinaldo
was alive when I received my last advices.
But the death of Aguinaldo would really
not make so very much difference in carry
ing on the campaign. There are other gen.
erals in the field who are just as capable as
Aguinaldo, and If he was killed the war
would go right on just the same.
Indeed, there is a very strong element
among the aristocracy OF the Filipinos who
would prefer to have leader of their own
class. Aguinaldo was not a member Of the
aristocracy. but his services have been so
great that no very strong opposition has
been made to him on that account. If he
could be succeeded by member of the
aristocracy, however. it would give satis
faction in. a great many quarters"
Mr.. Lopez thought the war likely to con-
tinue indefinitely unless some terms of set
tlement could be agreed upon. He de-
scribed the organization of the Filipinos as
very strong and their determination to
win independence as Interchangeable.

Mr.. Wellington, continuing, said the

the United States from Russia was clearly

English Weeds in New Zealand.


The plants and animals of the old world
seem to have a special hardness and ro-
business OF constitution which enables
them to contend successfully with the ma
tives OF other countries. English weeds
accidentally introduced into New Zealand
are a striking example. Introduced ami
mails have aided the weeds by destroying
the native plants. Sheep and rabbits have
eaten some districts almost bare, and all
but exterminated the more delicate plants
The pig and the rat have almost exter-
minated others A curious orchid Castro
dia Cunninghamin with highly nutritious
tubers has become very rare where the rat
Is plentiful. Thus the foreign weeds have
the way prepared for them. In some cases
such weedy plants as common home grass,
docks, feabane. catchfiy and Yorkshire fog
have taken possession of the sea beaches
Such robust plants as New Zealand flax

ARSENIC EATERS.
Persons Able to Take Enormous Doses
without Fatal Effect.

Persons Able to Take Enormous Doses
without Fatal Effect.
From Science Gossip.
White arsenic is the form in which
arsenic Is eaten by the peasants of Syria
and the Tyrol. Prof. Schallgrueber Of
Graetz was the first to call attention to this
practice. In a report which he made in
1872 to the Austrian government on the
cause Of the numerous deaths from arsenic
poisoning in those districts. He found that
arsenic was kept in most of the houses in
Upper Syria under the name of "hydrach,"
evidently a corruption Of 'huttenrauch,"
or furnace smoke. His statements were
subsequently confirmed from personal OBJ
servation by DR.. Michigan of Edin-
burgh. but for many years afterward the
arsenic eaters were generally disbelieved
in. it not till 1860 that c. Hesch
published convincing evidence
Arsenic Is principally eaten by hunters
and wOOdcutters with the object of ward
ing of fatigue and improving their staying
powers. Owing to the fact that the sale
of aresnic is Illegal in Austria without
doctors certificate, II Is difficult to obtain
definite Information Of a habit which Is
kept IS secret as possible According to
DIR. Lorenzo. in that district the arsenic Is
taken fasting. usually in a cup of coffee,
the first dose being minute, but increased
day by day until il sometimes amounts to
the enormous dose of twelve or fifteen
grains He found that the arsenic eaters
Were usually long lived, though liable to
sudden death. They have fresh. youthful
appearance and are seldom attacked by in
fictitious diseases. After the first dose the
usual symptoms of slight arsenic poisoning
are evident. but these soon disappear on
continuing the treatment.
In the arsenic factories in Salzberg 1t is
stated that wOrkmen who are not arsenic
eaters soon succumb to the fumes. The
manager of one Of these works informed
Mr.. HeisCh that he had been medically adj
vised to eat arsenic before taking up his
position. He considered that no one should
begin the practice before twelve years old
nor after thirty. and that in any case after
fifty years of age the daily dose should be
gradually reduced, since otherwise sudden
death would ensUe. If confirmed arsenic
eater suddenly attempts to do altogether
without the drug he Immediately succumbs
to the effects Of arsenic poisoning. The
only way to obviate this Is gradually to
acclimatize the system by reducing the dose
from day to day. AS further evidence of
the cumulative properties of arsenic 1t is
interesting to note that when the grave
yards In Tipped Syria are opened the
bodies of the arsenic eaters can be distin-
yllshed by their almost perfect state of
preservation, due to the gradually accumu-
lated arsenic
