Sailors have a very simple and what
is said to be Il very effective way Of
determining the edible or nonediblc
qualities of any new varieties Of fish
they may happen to run across. In the
water in which the fish is boiled is
placed bright silver coin. If the coin
retains its natural color during the boil
ing process, the fish is good to eat, but
if it turns dark the food is rejected.

Senorita Clemencia Lopez Has Made
Favorable Impression.
Came to America TO Picod for the Re-
lease of Her Brothers aud Was
Received Cordially by
society.

Senorita Clemencia Lopez, sister of
Sixto Lopez, the secretary of the com
mission sent by Aguinado to Presi-
dent Mckinley, and daughter of one of
the oldest, weathiest ard most aristo-
cratic families in the Philippines, is,
in her self-imposed exile, an interest
ing study TO Bosionians. And Bos-
tonians are an interesting study to
her; for she is a keen observer and has
found time to incidentally do much in
addition to her effort to induce the
president to release three of her broth
ers from what she considers unjust
imprisonment The primary object of
her visit to the United States-the re-
lease of her brothers--has been ac-
complished, and whether through her
efforts or Independent Of them, Is OF
little moment TO her. When they were
arrested, however. although there was
no formal trial, the family estates
were searched, the rice houses sealed
by order of the military authorities,
the title deeds and other family papers
seized. and a steamer and sailing ves-
sci owned by the family confiscated.
The government has offered to re-
store these properties, but the mem
bers of the family in the Philippines
refuse to sign a receipt for them until
they can be assured that everything
| that was taken has been returned
! that damages have been repaired, and
that compensation has been rendered
according to army rules.
II these questions between the mem
| bers of the Lopez family in the Phil
| ippines and the military authorities
cannot be satisfactorily adjudicated
there, it is not unlikely that the CIR
will add to her mission the task OF
another appeal to the president.
Her movements in this direction. al
well as the length of her stay in this
country, will probably be determined

by the reply to letter which has been
sent to her family. Meanwhile she is
the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fiske War
ren, of Boston, studying American in
stitutions and making special efforts
to become mistress of the English lam
guage. She finds as much difficulty in
endeavoring to understand our social
and economic conditions as she does
in comprehending the vagaries of our
tongue.
The senorita, says the Kansas City
Star, is pretty, after the japanese
type. She is small and slight, with
light brown skin, very dark brown eyes
and wavy black hair.
The Lopez home was open to tho
Americans at all times, and many of
the officers visited there. The desire
of the family is declared to have been
that war should cease as speedily "a
| possible.
The only members of the family not
then in the country were SiXto, who
was conducting propaganda in tn
United States, and Jose, who was
studying engineering in England. The
family was overioyed when news came
last winter that SiXto was on his way
| to Manila. 1t was their desire, it IL
declared, that he should cease his work
in behalf of independence, return to
Manila, take the oath of allegiance anc
trust to the good offices of the Ameri
can government.
In order to endeavor to persuade hin
to this line of conduct. Clemencia, ac
companied by her 17-year-old sister
Maria, iourneyed to Hong-kong tC
meet him.
They sailed from Manila on Decem
ber IS. Two days before their three
brothers had been arrested, and latel
confined on transport, and deportet
TO the island of Talim. This was un
known to her when she sailed. Tit
brothers were suspected Of aiding th
insurgents, and il was charged tina
when one of them, Cipriano, surren
dered he failed to turn in 30 rifles be
longinp to his command. He ASSERTED
that he had turned in all the rifles Il
his possession, but information t
the contrary had been given by on
whom the members of the Lopez fam
ily denounce as political enemy, an
that information Influenced the gov
ernment in the arrest of the thre
brothers, Cipriano, Lorenzo and Mar
uel.
Clemencia was in Hong-Kong whe
the news of the arrest of her brother
was received in letter from hom'
She was astounded at this turn of a
fairs, and instead of counseling SiXt
to abandon his propaganda and retur
to Manila, she urged him not to do 81
She then determined to appeal to tn
president, and wrung from her brothe
. and sister their approval of this plal
formulated by herself.

The echoes of the unsavory Philip
pine transport scandal have hardly
died away, but another is ready to

Germs the lighter system at Manila.
AS may be known, it is necessary to
transfer goods for Manila to lighters
which in turn, land them at the
wharfs and warehouses. These light
ers are employed by the quartermast-
er in charge anl are paid at a given
rate per trip, the rate being based on
their tonnage capacity. When the
situation became known, the officials
of the Treasury Department demand
ed that a register be furnished them
showing the names, speed and capa-
city of the lighters. Since then, the
Treasury officials have apparently
paid no attention to the dlsburse-
ments made for lightering purposes by
the army quartermasters and no more
than was necessary was revealed by
the War Department. Recently, how
ever, the Treasury Department, avail
ing itself Of the figures already furnish
ed it and the reports of the quarter
masters as filed monthly with the Au.
dtor for the War Department, has
been making some comparisons which
have proved the old adage thai
'comparisons are odious." The
amounts paid out for freight far ex
ceed the capacity of the lighters, ton
mage and speed taken into considera
tion, and the Auditor has demanded
an explanation of the discrepancy

Fifty seventh Congress exceed those
of the first session Of the Fifty-sixth
Congress by $7o,aSs,oao.s6. Under
these circumstances 1t is not surprls-
ing that the Treasury surplus is fast
disappearing.
The reports received in Washing.
ton from the state of Utah are much
more encouraging than they were
some time ago and it was apparent
that Senate, Rawlns has been doing
some excellent work for the party and
fof his seat IN ;he Senate. The alb
soute confidence expressed in the
Utah situation by the republicans
early this summer, is thing of the
past and they now concede that there
are excellent chances for return OF
Mr.. Rawlins to the Senate and are
begging the Congressional Campaign
Committee to come to their assistance.
The reports received here indicate
that Perry S Heath who, as editor OF
one of the most influential papers OF
the state, was expected TO accomplish
Senator Rawlin's defeat and carry the
state for his party has sacrificed his
influence to his ambition. His un-
dignlhed struggle to succeed Senator
Rawlns has los, him the respect OF
the better class of the people of the
state and not only has he ruined his
own chances of election to the Senate
but he has seriously injured the pros
poets of his party and has probably
insured the return of Senator Raw
Inns. The news is received with the
utmost satisfaction by the Democrat:
in Washington who recognize in sena
tor Rawlns an able exponent of demo
cratic principles and valuable repre-
sentative of the party in the Senate.

sion of Congress have at last been
issued by the clerks of the approprla-
ton committees of the Senate and
the House. They show that the re-
cent session appropriated the stupen-
dous sum of $I,o63,335,96I.55.
Equal lavishness at the next session
will make the total appropriations of

more than two billion dollars. Repre-
sentative Livingstone, the ranking
democrat member OF the appropria-

furnished the estimate made IN these

placed the total at $I,o59,575o52

The determination of the Grand
Army of the Republic to invite Gen
eral Miles to head the grand parade
at the encampment 10 be held in
Washington next October, is a source
of serious annoyance to the friends OF
the President. OF course, General
Miles is the most distinguished mem
Der OF the G.. A. X. He is the most
noted survivor of the Civil War, since
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and a
number of others have passed away.
Coming from the people, without the
aid OF a West Point education, Gene
| raj Miles has attained the highest
rank in the army and that, together
with the fact that he served shoulder
to shoulder with the men of '6o-65,
makes him dear to the G. a. R, but
he is in disgrace with the admInlstra-
ton. Colonel President Roosevelt
has had occasion to scold him and
would have retired him had not an
influential delegation of Senators and
Representatives gone to the White
House and threatened to blockade
all legislation recommended by the
President if he did; and, being in the
black books of Colonel President
Roosevelt, he has no right to occupy
position of honor or importance In
the G.. A. R. parade, and especially
in Washington. 1t is even h!nted
that If the General accepts the invita-
ton the Colonel COMMANDMENT Chief
will prolong his stay in the west so
that he will not be in Washington on
the day of the great procession, but
the time is still distant and 1t is pro-
bable that his better advised friends
will not allow him to SO seriously at
front the veterans during the time
they are guests in the national CAPT
tai.
