FILIPINO CHARACTERISTICS.
Fundamental Traits Unlike Those of
the AngIo-SaxOn.
Review of Reviews.

Physiologically, the Filipino is much
nearer the primitive stock than the Euro
pean or American. The shape of the skull
is different. There is a much smaller de-
velopment in front of the transverse su-
ture, with a much higher development be-
hind that division. This would indicate
what has been actually Ob~serVed-that the
and instinct are relatively more developed
among them than with US The highest
form of wisdom known to the Filipino in
tellect Is aptly illustrated by contrasting
the words ''astutO" and "sapiente." He is
cunning as opposed 10 wise. His powers
OF observation ana imitation are highly
developed. but his power of analysis and
the Caucasian race. The relative proper
tions of the skeleton are different. The
femur is longer. the toes are longer and
more separated. In many OF their habits
they resemble our COMMON ancestors. the
monkey. They retain more of the primOr-
dial instinct OF the common animal nature
than we. They are, therefore, more amen
able TO secret. mysterious. awe-inspiring
rites and ceremonies than we are. On
natures the shrewd friars, and the shrewd-
er native leaders. have played craftily with
their Oriental adaptations of Christianity,
their societies and dramatic ceremonies of
initiation, until they have obtained an as
tendency that can be shaken only by rails
ing up a new generation free from these
influences. In some similar way, perhaps.
the priests of Osiris dominated ancient
Egypt and the Druids controlled the tribes
OF prehistoric Britain. But whether this
be the true explanation or not, there can
be nc doubt of the tremendous influence
OF the K%atipunan and it's intimate relation
with the disorders OF the last two years.

1t is sufficiently understood that the Phil

white men cannot live in the tropics. 1t is
simultaneously understood that nothing
but Senator Hoar's amendment TO the
Spooner bill keeps Americans from flock

mines, saving its forests into mercantile
timber, spanning it's fields with railroads
and its streams with bridges. transforming
its cities with street cars, sewers steel

American empire.
The terrors of the tropical climate have
been largely banished. Yellow fever has
been conquered. Man has learned to
change his dress and diet TO adapt himself

THE CROWN LANDS" CLAIM.
What the Ex-Queen of Hawaii wants
from the Government.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
Mrs. Lydia Dominis once Queen OF Hawaii.
is now on her way 10 this country, accord
ing TO reports, To resume her effort 10 secure
a grant from Congress for the crown lands
which were confscated BY the Hawaiian
republic when she was dethroned. She has
become a perennial claimant. She did not
help her case when she sought to secure re-
lief from the ridiculous native-ruled Ha-
vivian Legislature last winter. That prepos-
ferrous body passed an act granting her
$780, 900 in settlement OF her claims, but Gov.
Dole very properly vetoed the measure.
which did not survive his disapproval. The
trouble with Mrs. Dominis's claims is that
thus far she has put them forth as born of
royal rights which the United States, hav-
ing become the guardian {. the Hawiian
people. is bound to recognize. The fact is
that Mrs. Dominis is possessed Of no rights
in the premises. as regards the ownership
of these lands. from the moment when she
ceased to rule as Queen Of Hawaii. The
lands i'm question ave belonged I'm the past
to the sovereignty of the islands. They
passed from king 10 queen as did the imme-
date governmental agencies, such as ar
cbives, regalia, establishments and office
structures. They formed part Of the means
whereby the state was maintained. The
fact that under the vicious rule of kings
and queens the income from these lands
was absorbed by the royal households Gid
not change their character. When the revO-
luton deprived Mrs. Dominis Of her title
il deprived her likewise of all her royal
appurtenances, lands included. The proof
OF this lies i'm the fact that Liliuokalani. as
Queen, could not have alienated the lands
by transfer to another person. They were
part of the fixed domain of the state. OF
course If the Hawaiian republic did in fact
wrest a personal right from this woman, il
owed her restitution or reimbursement, and
the United States in turn would have as
sumed the obligation if Hawaii failed to
discharge it. But this contention has never
been acknowledged. and the only question
deserving of serious debate now is whether
Mrs. Dominis should be granted a pension
