Another Sea Horror.

The sinking of the steamer Islander in
Alaskan waters brings freshly to mind the
disaster to the steamship Rio Janeiro last
February just outside the harbor Of San
Francisco. The latter vessel carried over
30 persons down with her. while the re-
ports of the Islander disaster indicate
loss of about half that number. The Alas
kan tragedy was in some respects the more
terrifying because of the gloom of the
night the deadly cold of the arctic waters
and the utter helplessness of scores of the
people thus suddenly preciptated into the
deep. In this case, too land was near by,
and had it been possible to manage the
vessel for few minutes after she struck
the berg she could have been beached to
permit the rescue of most if not all of her
passengers and crew. But she sank swiftly
owing to the fact that the hull was ripped
open. Her bow filled first. and this carried
her down at an angle, so that her screw
and rudder were pulled out of the water
preventing their action.

EiIipinOs VS.. Frinrs.

Strong evidence of the hostility of the
Filipinos toward the friars is furnished by
the extracts from the newspapers of the
archipelago which are reprinted in today S
issue. 1t appears from these accounts that
a peaceful demonstration against the Nom
bers of the obnoxious orders recently oc-
CURED in several parts of the islands, for
the purpose of expressing the popular sen
timent that these agents of the church
should not be permitted to return to their
parishes. 1t further appears that in this
outbreak there was no sign of hostility to
the church itself. In one instance, in Ccbu,
the populace Kissed an Objectionable friar
out of the pulpit and then. after emphasiz-
ing it's displeasure by leaving the church,
returned to participate in the celebration
of the mass. This episode illustrates clear
~ the point which has repeatedly oeen
urged, that the antipathy to the friars is
not based upon anti-religious prejudices, or
upon dislike for the ceremonies or doctrines
of the Roman Catholic Church.
These accounts are the more valuable be-
cause they come from sources entirely IN
dependent of the insular government. They
corroborate in detail the representations
made by the officers of the administration
who have reported on the problem, and
they Justify the policy which the govern
rnent has adopted in dealing with the ques-
ton. Throughout the agitations now re-
ported the people appeared to have had
confidence III the promise that the soldiers
would not be utilized to force the friars
upon them.

The Sacrifices of Science.

From all sides arise expressions Of relief
that the dangerous experiments which have
lately been conducted in Cuba into the
transmission of yellow fever are to be
suspended in view of the death of two vol
unteer subjects who were bitten by innocu-
lated mosquitoes. 1t is generally recog-
nized that while great value may attach to
these inquiries, the cost Is too heavy to
be borne. Science may demand but civili-
cation viii not tolerate human vivisection
or the absolute exposure of life 10 de-
struction. 1t is one thing for the expert
menting physician or bacteriologist to risk
disease in the handling Of bacilli, and an
other to persuade or to permit patient to
submit TO tests which may result fatally
This Is now the third death recorded in
Cuba In the course of the mosquito expert
ments. and these three affirmations of the
theory that the insect is the host of the
disease germ ought to be sufficient for all
purposes. The first death was not conciu-
sive. One of the physicians in the army
board of experts last summer died from the
fever after being bitten In one of the hos
pitfalls by mosquito which was not posi-
lively known to have been but presunSa bly,
was innocuiated. All the subsequent tests
were satisfactory in the main, though no
deaths resulted These two fatal cases
may be considered as clinching the hypoth-
esis that 1t is possible for mosquitoes to

transmit the fever after period of eigh-
teen or twenty days from the biting Of a
patient. That lapse seems to be necessary
to permit the germ to develop in the body
of the insect.
The experiments in Cuba have been of
great value in that they have not only
demonstrated at least one means of dis
ease transmission, but that they have mega
lively disproved the old notions of the COM
munication of the disease through the
clothing of the patient and contact with
the disease excreta. This knowledge Will
permit a material simplifcation of the
processes Of GUARANTEEING in epidemics. 1t
does not however. lead to any surer means
of treatment. The disease germ itself has
not been authoritatively isolated, although
DR.. Cuestas, now working In Cuba, is con-
fdent that he has discovered the specific
bacillus. Until that point has been gained
little confidence can be given to the pro-
cesses of treatment, save on the Well-es-
tablished lines of medical care. But the
discovery of this means of transmission
leads to another line of remedy, through
prevention, which is always better than
cure. The mosquito having been strongly
indicted, with abundance of proof, obtained
at this great cost, it Is inevitable that
sweeping measures be taken to eradicate
this pest and thus to reduce, if not to elimi-
nate, the chances of contracting this dis

The New Granada Treaty.

The German newspapers are seeing
things in our attitude toward the South
American trouble. But, for that matter, so
are the anti-imperalists in the United
States. Several communications to lead
ing American journals show that the exist
ence of the New Granada treaty was un-
known to the writer's. Those anxious souls
had jumped at once to the conclusion that
we Were poking our nose in where we had
no business. Here we go again." was the
tone of their complaint. What is it to us
if those people down there have a revoiu-
ton every twenty-four hours? Let them go
their own gait, and If they like turmoil, let
them have their craw full of it, But the
New Granada treaty does exist. and We are
charged by it with certain duties in Ger

in our preparing to discharge those duties

tons mean that and no more.

The POpe and the Friars,


A cable from Rome, dated Sunday, gives
the following:
To-day being ST. Joachims day, the pope
held a reception which was attended by
twenty cardinals and some $50 archbishops
and bishops. He seemed to be in excellent
health. In the course of an address he
ferred to the constant progress of the Ro-
man Catholic Church. especially in the
United States and Great Britain.
We find in this an excellent reason why
the interests of the Roman Catholic Church
in the Philippines should at as early day
as possible come under the direction of
churchmen of that communion who have
been trained in the management of reli-
gious affairs in a free country. The prog
ress the pope notes here could not have
been achieved by clergy of foreign edu
cation or instincts. There are of course
many foreign-born priests in service in
the United States, but the affairs Of the
Roman Church in this country have been,
generally speaking. shaped by a hierarchy
strictly American in spirit and intelligence.
The result has been that as the country
has grown the church has grown. 1t could
not have been otherwise. That striking
truth, felicitously expressed by Chief
Justice Fuller, 1.-The republic is opportuni-
ty,'' applies as forcibly to spiritual as to
temporal affairs.
The Philippines are now American terri
tory, and the purpose is to Americanize
them to the fullest extent possible Ameri-
can capital is already flowing in. Ameri
can customs are already being established.
American push is already showing itself.
Temporal affairs therefore are rapidly
taking on the American complexion The
result of all this, unless calculations are
greatly at fault. will be growth of a sub
stantial and pronounced kind. If therefore
the Roman Church is to reap it's share of
the harvest it must realize and recognize
fully the new situation. If its growth
there Is to be commensurate with the op-
portunity, as it has been, and continues to
be, here. it's management there must be on
a par with that whose work, here has at
tracted so favorably the attention of the
pope at Rome.
Still another point to be considered is that
in the Philippines now all churches are at
liberty to exert themselves, and several of
the Protestant denominations are on the
ground with STATS of capable workers. The
contest is going to be pretty warm. The
Roman Church has greatly the advantage
owing to it's long monopoly of the field, but
1t could hardly hope to hold this If the de-
tested and discredited friars should be
forced on congregations which practically
have expelled them and vigorously oppose
the bare suggestion of their return. New
priests would appear to be absolutely es-
sential, and the American-bred priest is
most distinctly the man for the emergency.
He makes progress, and needs no help from
the state.

Yesterday was day Of disasters. While
the news of the Alaskan sea tragedy was
being received reports were also coming of
river horror near Paducah, Ky, in which
fifteen lives were lost, through the capsiz-
ing of steamboat by cyclone storm: the
explosion of oil and benzine tanks in Phil
adeiphia, causing fully half dozen deaths;
the premature bursting of a shell in a gun
in target practice at Fort Riley Kan, re-
sulting in one death and fatal injuries to
several soldiers, and dynamite explosion
in railroad round house at Herkimer, N.
Y. killing upwards of fifteen workmen. 1t
is to be hoped that a long time will eIapse
before another such combination of fatali-
ties is recorded.

An Ambition of France,
From the philadelphia Ledger.

How popular in France was the third
Napoleon's idea Of a French empire in
Mexico may be judged by the utterances
of the French papers on the subject of the
war in Venezuela. They indicate a jeal-
ousy of the United States and a regard for
the interests of the Latin race in America
which are evidently a survival of the old
ambition for French domination in that
quarter. coupled, of course, with a present
regard for the interests of the French
Panama canal But these impassioned ut
terances are not likely to lead to any SER
ious complications.
