The Musical Guamites.

From the Independent.
The Guamites are musical people. The
well-to-do own pianos, and are fair mn-
sicians; others have organs, and rnanv-
many more possess accordions. They enjoy
singing, and are fond of American nopular
songs, such as After the Ball" &C. Their
own songs are rather weird and mournful.

Moro Chiefs Anxious for Peace-Every
Effort Will Be Made to Pre-

Adjutant General Corbin today received
the following cable message from General
Chaffee in regard to the latest develop
ments in the Moro country:
MANILA, April -. 1ao2
"Adjutant General, Washington:
Before Baldwin could be communicated
with he had taken the fort at Pulas after
a slight resistance. There were no casual
ties. Very soon after the neighhorins town
of Ganasi opened its doors, hoisted a white
flag and delivered up the red flag. Datto
Lampok and others. with strong follow
ing. asked permission To call and make peace
Datto Amani Pack of Ganasl who sent
a threatening message in reply to my let

The camp is two miles from Ganasi. whose
sultan has asked Baldwin TO come there. 1

miles from Dattoz.

FAST FRENCH TRAIN.
Probably Swiftest Long Distance Train
in the World.

From the Scientific American.
We are informed that a new train has
lately been placed the Paris-Calais run
for the convenience Of travel between Paris
and London, which is scheduled to cover
the distance of 1S4Ih miles in three hours
This very fine performance is accomplished
in spite of the fact that there is a stop of
four minutes at Amiens, and that the speed
is greatly reduced in running through the
city Of Calais to the pier, where passen-
gers embark for Dover. The announcement
will give no surprise to tn ose Of us who
have watched with interest the development
of express train service on the leading
French railroads. It is only Of late years
that France has brought her railroad sys-
tenn up to a pitch of perfection in comfort
and speed at which it has ranked with the
best railroads in the world The improve
ment has been SO rapid that, for the past
three or four years, the French roads have
not only surpassed in speed the trains for
which Great Britain has been justly noted
for half n century, but they have instituted
a schedule Of fast passenger trains which
is absolutely without rival either in Eu-
rope or America.
There are over fifty express trains on the
various French railroads with a speed in
Guiding stops Of over fifty miles an hour,
and more than half of these run at an av-
erage speed of over fifty-five miles an hour
They have also been running during the
past two years few trains that reach an
average of sixty miles an hour but the
distance was comparatively short The
Paris-Calai run, however, is made at a
higher average speed than that of any ex-
press train in France, and although the
distance run without stop is less than that
covered without stop by the Empire State
Express, the fastest long-distance train in
this country, the average speed, sixty-one
and half miles an hour is seven miles an
hour greater The weight of the regular
Empire State train behind the engine is 200
tons. We have no particulars as to the
weight of the French train, but it Is prob
ably something less than that There is
food for thought in the fact that the best
work on these trains is being done by the
four-cyiinder express engines Of the COM
pound type.

MAY MOVE BUILDINGS.
Reports of Fire Marshal and En-
gineer Commissioner

Edward S. McCalmont recently wrote to
the District Commissioners asking if tn,
former owners OF frame buildings IN the
line of the extension of sherman avenu,
would be permitted to bid them I'm ana
move them back from the line Of the stree
and thus still be retained in that portion
of the original lots not affected by III.
opening of the thoroughfare. The papcrs
were first referred to the fire marshal Mr.
Sidney Bieber. who has reported that h,.
made a personal examination of the buii3-
ings in question, stating that they now &C
cupy the eastern portion of the lots upon
which they are built. Mr. Bieher states
that If the buildings are moved back upca
the lots, in his opinion. no extra hazardous
conditions would he created.
The Engineer Commissioner, Col. John
Biddie, has now considered the matter and
has forwarded the papers to the civil Com
missioners, with the following indorsem MT:
1t is not thought that paragraph 13f If
the building regulations governing the re-
moVal of frame structures, providing the
consent of the property owners within ff,y
feet of the proposed new location Is OH
tanned, was intended to apply to cases Il
this Kind, where the owners are obliged 10
move their houses on account of the widen
ing of the street. and where the owners of
the houses simply desire to move them back
on the same lot to sufficient distance 20
remove them from the street and do not tn
tend to create new conditions.
when the property was condemned for
the widening Of the street the owners wer.,
presumably paid for their houses where
they came entirely within the new street
IlneS and also the fun value Of them when
such portion of them extended into the
street as to render the balance uninhabil-
able. On the other hand. in order To obtain
the houses they will have to bid the high
est price Tor them at a sale under puh.i..
| advertisement. and there does not seem 20
ne any good reason why, if they purchase
their FORMER houses under these conditions
they should not be allowed TO move tberl
back on the same lot. provided. in the opi--
Ion OF the inspector Of buildings. the val;!, Of
the property has not been deprecated more
Than one-third. and provided also that th,,
houses are not placed any nearer existing
puldlhss within fifty feet Of them than
they now stand.
am, therefore. of the opinion that Il
the property owners fulfill all the her cott-
ol'lons OF section 131 as to the removal uf
wooden buildings they should not be re-
quired to obtain the consent of All Owners
OF property within fifty feet of the new
location. provided they will not he n.sr.r
sala buildings than they are at presen,"

The Artists Joys and Pains.


Artists are more nervous and sensitive than
other human beings; and the music that
they sing, the music that they hear and the
dramatic parts they act and see exert an
Irresistible influence on their lives They
feel deeply, be it joy or pain; and the great
er the artist, the more acute is the sensa-
tion Should they err, the inner effects Of
their misdirected passions react with a
severity unknown to the ordinary mortal,
and their lives become embittered to a de-
gree which cannot be comprehended by
one less sensitive to impressions. 1t is the
logical payment for eating of the fruit of
the tree OF the knowledge of good and evil

Observation-Disclosures of People

Washington, Jan. 20-The director
OF the census gave out statement
regarding the growth of urban pop
nlation north and south, which shows
the following facts: The large cities,
taken collectively, are growing nearly
twice as rapidly as the rest of the
country; the per cent. of the popu-
lation of northern states living in
large cities is nearly three times as
great as the corresponding per cent.
in the south; the north has a rate
of increase no greater than that of
the south. The statement shows that
in the north the proportion of the
population living in large cities is
more than three times as great as it
is in the south. The population liv-
ing in cities of over $4,000 inhabitants
increased Al per cent. between 1890
and 1900 partly by the growth of the
1874 cities of that size in 1890, and
partly by the addition during the fol-
lowing ten years Of IS other cities to
the list. OF the total population Of

Washington, Jan. 20.-Minister WI
called upon Secretary Hay Saturday in
connection with the restora ton to the
Chinese government Of the value of the
silver bullion, amounting to $376, 600,
which was captured by the American
marines at Tientsin, forming part of
the revenue of the salt customs. This
money would have been restored long
ago, and, indeed, Secretary Long had
contemplated turning it over soon aft
er it fell into the possession of the ma
rines, but in the disorganized state of
the Chinese government there was no
official to whom it could be handed.
Minister WI has now been authorized
by his government to receive this
money, and it will be given to him in
the shape of draft on the treasury,
where the money is deposited, which
may be readily exchanged for bills on
