General Macarthur is reported as say
ing that all told there are not more than
thousand Filipinos now under arms and
actually opposing the authority of the
United States. These are in southern
Luzon, Samar. and Bohol. If the Fill
pinos could fight like the Beers can, even
thousand of them could make a great
deal of trouble. but as it is. we share
with the general the hope that even these
small bands will soon melt away. and
peace reign throughout the archipelago.

The party of diplomats which started
from Washington for the Pan-American
Exposition yesterday morning was en-
tirely made up. as far as We can see of
Oriental and cis-Atlantic representatives.
1t may be mere coincidence, but per-

does not feel particularly interested in
anything calculated to promote pan

Perhaps Secretary Hay may have to
make another run and jump to Washing
ton and Canton. in view of Il very unfor-
tunate diplomatic situation which appears
to threaten the friendly relations here
tofore existing between America and
Japan. That country already has protest
ed against indignities visited upon Japa-
nese subjects, including several ladies of
rank, who We're passengers on the steam
er Nippon MarIi, and were badly treated,
as alleged. by our quarantine officers at
Honolulu. 1t seems that the news of this
affair has created great excitement in
Japan, among all classes, and the Gov
ernment is being urged to declare Itself
and insist upon the same treatment for
its people in ports of the United States
that is extended to English, French, or
German passengers of responsibility. The
episode is an ugly one. Perhaps it might
be well to turn it over to Secretary Gage
to handle. He is an expert in the art of
making steamship passengers feel like
criminals.

entirely of meat and their drink of milk

The spread of law and order has some

men are still all warriors by profession.
When youths they serve as pages, and
from seventeen to twenty-five they are
considered as elmorans or warriors, after
which age they are allowed to marry and
settle down. All the work, except fight
ing, is done entirely by the women. The

A Novelty in Alarm Clocks.

Anoiseless alarm clock would prove a boon to a host of sufferers from un- seasonable din. The suggestion is made that silent alarm can be given by focusing an electric lamp upon the head of the person to be awakened and arranging switch so that the current to light the lamp would be turned on by the clock at the desired time. It is claimed that the flash of light would invariably arouse the sleeper.

The May Flower.

Alarm is often expressed lest the May flower become extinct in New England. In Connecticut the plant is under the wing of the law, and it is a misdemeanor there to tear it up by the roots. The regulation, though it is one difficult to enforce, effects considerable good, for the very knowledge ofits existence makes many persons more thoughtful and careful.

To the People of Arkansas.

3Gov. Davis has addressed the fol- lowing open letter to the people Of Arkansas:
 'Much discussion having arisen as to my future political course I am constantly in receipt of communico- tions from my friends throughout the state submitting the inquiry as to whether or not 1 will be a candi- date for the United States senate to succeed the Hon. James K. Jones :; and that my friends may no longer be kept in doubt, and may be re- lieved of any embarrassment as to the present senatorial contest, oc- casioned by my silence, I feel it my duty to make known my intentions iii this matter.
 "The people of Arkansas have greatly honored me by electing me their chief executive by a majority such as is seldom given to any can- didate, for which l shall always feel profoundly grateful, and with this election came grave duties and re- responsibilities of winch ] am not ur- mindful, and to the faithful per tormance of which l have devoted my entire energies and best endeavor, my highest and only ambition being to make the state a faithful and eff cient officer. My term as governor has scarcely begun, and to enter this contest for the senatorship at this time would require the sacrifice Of public duty to gratify personal am- bitions, and while 1 feel grateful to my friends for their generous offers of support should I enter the con- test, still, 1 feel that 1 owe duty t. my state that is above and beyond any personal ambition 1 might have Tn th}s director, and that 1 can best serve my people and discharge that duty in the office to which they have so kindly elected me. Therefore, feeling that 1 can best serve my peo- pie as governor, :! will not, at this time enter the senatorial contest, but will ask my friends, if my recol as their chief executive meets their approval, to give me an endorsements of the same for a second term when they shall be called upon to speak at their primary election.

BIG WORDS.
Often a Convenience to Writers But a
 Stumbling Block to Readers

''I do not like big words as usual thing, but occasionally they are great convenience, for they are great savers of space and time," remarked a gentleman the other day who oc- casionally breaks into a magazine with a heavy weight, speaking with a New Orleans Times-Democrat man. By multiplying the prefxes, or sandwlching in the fraction of the root of some word from here and there, combination can be arranged that will convey in single word and at a single glance an idea that or dlnarlly it would take multiplicity of words to convey. For this reason medical jurisprudence, and scientific literature generally, are rich with what is regarded as rare and extraor- dinary vocabulary. Yet there are but few words used in any of the branches of science which a mere novice in language could not understand if he would but analyze the combination and think for a moment of the deriva- tive fragments which are to be found. Sometimes the word may string out over half line in an ordinary news paper column, but an examination of It will show that, even independent of the context, one may easily under stand 1t if one will but reflect for a moment upon the fragments of other similar words which are preserved in the combination. I lad an amazing experience once with big word, and incidentally the use of it profited me In a small way. I had blazed out on the negro problem, and in a discus sion of the mental status of the negro 1 had occasion to refer to the popular belief among negroes in the mate rial heaven, and urged, in my conten- tlon, that the negro race was prim- ltlve race; that even his conception of a deity had not yet undergone the processes of deanthropomorphization. The word struck me because of its con- venlence and expressiveness, convey ing as 1t does anidea that could scarce ly be conveyed by anything less than a dozen words. There was a lean, cadaverous bill collector who walked in my shadow on pay day. He walked into the office with copy of my ar ticle in his hand. Excuse me- he said, but me and my wife read your article on the negro question, and, being southerners, we indorse all you say. But there is one thing about it, he continued, timidly which we do not understand, and since we have failed to find the word in the diction- ary, l thought l would ask you what it meant I did not know exactly what he was driving at and thought at first he was joking me. He point ed out the word 'deanthropomorphiza- tion.' l picked it to pieces for him and handed it to him in sections, and he smiled blandly, and in his en- barrassment forgot to present the bill which he had been trying to collect, and never after that did he dun me. But it taught me a more serious les son, for I honestly believe that what ever merit there was in my article was lost on that couple because of the intense interest and curious concern which centered in the word which they did not understand. have not used the word since, and while it may be convenience in literary construction, l believe l would rather spell the idea out in smaller characters.

of all articles of food what they are.
is it any wonder that when
reporter for The Repub-
lican visited the asylum last week
he saw the inmates given a small
piece of pressed hash between one
and two inches square. a piece of hard
bread about four inches square. and
five or six overripe bananas each.
What more could be provided on 23h
cents day? And remember that this
sum is all the Governor asked the
Legislature to appropriate. in his es-
innate last winter and that the Legis-
lature appropriated every cent he
asked for. Upon the Territorial Adj
