TO Enlist FiIipinos in Navy.

New York, April "a special 10 the
Herald from Washington says: In
structions have been cabled by Sec
rotary of the Navy Long to Rear Adj
miral Remy, commander in chief of
the Asiatc station, authorizing him
to enlist 500 natives of the Philip
pines for service on board the for
mer Spanish gunboats and other
small vessels which are to be main
tanned exclusively in the Philippines,
These men will form the nucleus of
an important service composed sole
" of enlisted men. Rear Admiral
Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of
navigation, believes that, besides re-
sulting in the government obtaining
efficient service, the employment of
natives will spread respect for the
American flag and create a strong
feeling of loyalty
Reports received from Rear Admiral
Remy have shown that Americans, es-
peciaily those serving in the fire
rooms, become quickly debilitated,
and it is necessary to send them to
the United States or Japan to recup-
crate. IT is believed that the health
of FlipinoS will not suffer, because
they are acclmated and if they do
become i'll it will be an easy matter
for them to recover in the Philip
pines

Doubt and Expectancy.

The state department maintains an
attitude of doubt and expectancy,
and is not yet prepared to admit that
there has been an interruption of in
tercourse between the two countries,
either limited or complete.
Aside from the telegraphic adviees,
there are some attending circum-
stances which indicate that at least
some strain or partial interruption of
intercourse has occurred The fact
developed in Washington about a
week ago that Russia had delivered to
China what amounted to an ultimatum
| on the signing Of the Manchurian
agreement. This followed the usual
course of ultimatums, and fixed def
mite limit of days within which China
could act. 1t also conveyed the clear
intimation That unfavorable action by
China would lead to a severance of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries. The limit of time fixed is
believed to have been one week, and
to have expired last Wednesday.
I nun sign NiAhlh lime Limit.
China did not sign within the time
limit, and the next day, Thursday.
Russia addressed her note to the pow
ers which has been accepted as remov-
ing the pressure over the Manchurian
agreement. This at first seemed to be
a waiver of her prior intimation of an
interruption Of diplomatic inter
course, and yet there was no such ex-
plicit waiver, and the latest advices
from Picking reporting that an inter
rnption has now actually occurred
seem to be directly in line with the
threat previously conveyed.
In case there proves to be an inter
ruption of the relations between Rus
STA and China, it is not expected to dis
arrange the negotiations between the
powers and China, or between Russia
| and the powers. 1t probably would be
confined to a termination Of the close
entente long maintained between Rus
/ STA and China

 | It Is difficult to define just what Is or
 ought to be meant by civilization. It is s9 complex an idea. CIV1LIZA- and may be rega rded TION in so many different
 FROM ways. that people are WITHIN. very apt to emphasize as its main contents whatever appeals to them as most im- portant. To some 1t means chiefly the
 increase of wealth. national or indi- vidual. Others cite as Its corner stone the increase of machinery. the division of labor. the progress of manufactur- ing and commercial interests. To the statesman 1t implies good government and national prosperity: to the schol- ar the increase and diffusion of knowl- edge; to the philanthroplst the growth of sympathy in practical action; while some would regard as it's main point the advancement of the refinements or courtesles of life. Certainly all these onward movments and many others are fruits of civilization. TS discover them all would require a mental grasp and d power of observation not yet possess ed by any one of us
 We are very proud of our national civ ilization. If we analyze our idea of 1t. In what shall We find it to consist? We have magnificent resources and are de- veloping them We have noble inven- tions and are enjoying them: we have all the known appliances for comfort and luxury: we have wealth and pow CT and prestige; we have institutions of learning which extend to every ham let. free libraries all over the land, and multitudes of like advantages, for which We do well to be glad.

We exult in our strength, We glory in what we call our honor. we boast of our in- dependence and celebrate the days when we won it; We plume ourselves upon our freedom and resent the slightest touch of 1t. Yet If we were truly civilized we would value intellec- tual and moral attainments far beyond any honor CT glory to be gained by feats of arms or physical prowess.

There is a great deal of talk among republicans and property owners gen.
 orally in the first ward A about nominating Dr. RELIABLE Purman for the city CANDIDATE. council. The Republi-
 can is inclined to ap- plaud their choice. pr. Purman is one of the old reliables of the city. He is here for fife. His in- terests are all in Phoenix. He has made money. much of it, and has invested 1t right here in good realty. In this re- spect he differs from many of our pro- feslsonal men, who are simply here for what they can make. spend what they have to for actual necessities and send their savings elsewhere. Our people have been too prone to run after migra- tory men-birds of passage. who are here today and gone tomorrow. Dr. Purman is one of us, talented physi- clan, an excellent citizen and a genial gentleman. The Republican thinks the residencs of the first ward show mighty good judgment in their selection of candidates, and we hope the doctor will be willing to make the sacrifice.

DOG DUG UP A GOLD MINE.

Cass Lake, Minn.-Because he was toor poor to buy food for his dog, John Anderson, a settler at the little village of Black Duck, near here, is now a rich man. with every prospect of becoming richer in the near future. Tn his search | for fc'sd the dog acicdentally revealed a mine of gold Anderson, who took up a claim near Black Duck last fall. was i'll nearly all winter, and had it not been for the kindness of neighbors he would probably have starved to death. There was considerable complaint when he insisted on sharing the food given him with his dog, common yellow cur With shrewd eye and a stub tall. whiah wiggles necessarily, and finally the neighbors decided that while they were willing to care for Anderson. they were not willing to care for the canine that was his friend and companion at all times. This brought about a cool ness between Anderson and the people who had sent food to him, and when the snow began to go Anderson was in a si.rry plight. How he managed to live is a mystery. A short time ago his provisions were entirely exhausted and he was forced to turn the dog adrlft.
 The dog. however, refused to be turn ed out into the cold world. with gentle spring coming cn. so he began to hus- tie around in an endeavor to recall the places where he had buried bones when times were better and there was plenty in the larder.
 Yesterday he disappeared for a time and when he returned he bore in his mouth bone, which he brought into the cabin ard began gnaw:ng. The at ten.ion of Anderson was attracted by the peculiar appearance of the bone and he began to investigate. ,U
 Taking the bone away rom the dog he looked at it closely and -.aw that tho earth adhering to it was filled with shining yellow particles. His curiosity was aroused, especially as his claim is on land that has every indication of be- ing g7ld bearing. Scraping together a large number of the particles he car ried them to Black Duck and visited the locsll ieweler.
 When the jeweler tested the ye.:ow particles he astonished Anderson by in- forming him that they were gold and mighty good gold at that. The value of the dust was in the neighborh3I of sS0, which was paid by the jeweler for the metal
 i1he news of the strike was soon nois- ed around. and vixen Anderson locat- ed, by the aid of his dog, the spot from which the bone had been dug, and found it rich in gold dust. which ex- tended back toward ledge ef rock for nearly sixty feet, the excitement be- came intense.
 Inside of an hour Anderson had been offered all kinds of money for his claim but he has thus far refused to sell as he is convinced that he has fortune at hand.
 He has already obtained more than sC.0OO worth of gold dust from tract less than ten rods square.-N. Y. Jour nal.

Mixed, but i'm Earnest.

A negro recruit and the officer of the
day figure in the following little story
from the Philippines, written home by a
Kentucky volunteer:
"A negro recruit on outpost duty, who
who had been filled with stories of the
Filipinos' torture of the captured Ameri-
can soldiers, had let his mind run on them
until his terror caused him to get his or
ders for the day in a pretty mess. At mid
night the officer of the day went the
rounds. When he struck the rocky he
was challenged by a scared negro.
"Halt, dah; who's dat?'
"The answer was: Officer of the day
again the sentry sung out, Halt, dah
who's dat?'
"The officer then asked him, 'What in
Sand Hill was the matter? Why didn't he
know his ordersy' The negro said, Il does
know NAH orders.H
"Well, what are they?' asked the officer,
and to his surprise the answer came back:
"'De sargent done tole me to halt You
three times and den shoot you And with
that he cooked his rifle.
"You should have seen that officer sprint
for a tree From there he used the only
argument of any avail with a coon. He
cussed him so hard that the negro forgot
all about shooting him. Half an hour later
the officer was able to come out from his
hiding place and give his proper orders. "

A gentleman writing in last weeks

A gentleman writing in last weeks Is
sue of the Sumter Watchman and South
ron, in advocacy of the proposed new Lee
county, quotes Bamberg as having tax
levy of only three mills, he seeming to
argue from this that smaller counties re-
duce taxes! We do not care to mix up in
the new county fight, but it is entirely
wrong that smaller counties mean lower
taxes. 1t is true that Bamberg has tax
levy of only three mills at present, but
we are badly in debt, and have had to
borrow money every year since the coun-
ty was formed. 1t will take about six
mills levy next year to put our county on
a cash basis, and it has been fully DEM
onstrated that we cannot run on three
mills tax. 1t should be remembered, too,
that this county has five dispensaries
within its borders, and the county's share
of the profits last year was something
like $4,0OO In addition to this, we have
a large railroad mileage, and this helps
US materially in the matter of taxation.
The Seaboard Air Line, Southern Rail-
wav, and Atlantic Coast Line all run
through this county, and we have as well
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company's lines, the Postal Telegraph
Company, and the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. With all this property, our
tax levy ought to be low. 1t is very well
to argue for smaller counties on the mat
ter of convenience, but the lower taxes
or even equal taxes proposition will not
do. nor will it hold good.

"This is my time to quit. The public has

mands upon him by reason of his official
position"
I also asked the judge: care not all the
other circuit judges to be elected at the
approaching session of the general as
