most OF his great colleagues. He did not uncon-

young manhood he hummed enough to earn a little
money as choTlsteT in small theatre; but then he
was already studying music in Paris. He had gone
thlther with his fathers blessing and support TO
study medicine, but there the library OF the
ConservatOire proved potent attraction than
the lectures chemistry the 6issecting Il BILE

in Manila BY Messrs. Eber C. Smith.
Don Carlos w Musser. and William r.

ton by the Spaniards was the imme-

islands, against Spanish rule. The pa

census under American supervision is
about 10 be made. The census formerly
has not been very accurate. In all
probability the enumeration now will
be as near the truth as possible under
the circumstances. With respect to
some Of the -barbarous tribesl
there can be only approximate esti-
mates.
The total number for 1899 is given as
C7oaS20. For 1870 there is an estimate
Of fIlg0O6 Between these two periods
there are various figures. one as high
as 9,7iOl2i for the year 1893, The true
number Of Inhabitants in these islands
is not known, and cannot be, until set

enumeration possible.

A TIDAL WAVE

The chapter Of calamitles Is stlll be-
ing written Fearful loss Of life Is
reported from the South Sea islands,
as a result OF tidal wave that spread
death and destruction to many souls.
1t can only be hoped that the first re-
ports brought are somewhat exagger-
ated, and that the disaster win prove
less general than It at FIRST appears.
The Tahiti archipelago the scene Of
the disaster, Is a beautiful group OF
Islands. The hills are clothed with
luxurIant forests, and the soil is fer
tile in the extreme, while the climate
is remarkably healthy for the tropics.
Hot springs are said to be unknown
there, and earthquakes slight and Of
rare occurrence. Many Of these islands
are quite low, and an unusual rise of
the ocean, such as that now reported,
necessarily mandates a great part Of
them. As far as known, but few
white people are among the victims Of
the disaster.

THE MAYORS NEW STAND.

II the apologlsts for the Mayor
Imagine the public cannot see through
the present gauzy pretence Of oppose

themselves. The purpose In view and
the end OF It all may be seen by
labored effort In this mornings 1'rib-
une. 1t is pass "the Mayors enamel
patton bill" and "it cannot be passed
amy too soon"
Exactly. Place supreme power In the
hands Of the Mayor, Let him proceed
to discharge every member of the po-
lice and fire departments and fill their
places with whom he pieases, so that
he can let things run TO his mind and
make political machine out Of the
whole bunchl That is the scheme. win
the Legislature play into the hands of
the manlvulators of this gamer We
trust not.
AS to The Mayors vehement desire to
suppress gambling, Sunday liquor sell
ing and other vices we offer no denial
# It claimed that this Is his present
positlc4. We hope It Is true. But when
It Is asserted repeatedly that he has
railways been opposed to those evils"
and that only police hostility or delin-
quency has been In his way, we must
be excused from credence Of the state
ment. because the Mayors own lam
guage to the contrary can be produced
as published in the local papers year
and half ago

been seized with one more spasm Of
virtue while bill that his organ calls

pending and when wires are being laid
for another municipal election, give
them the full benefit Of his attitude
just now. But II his supporters are
wise. they win abstain from raising
the horse-laugh throughout the city,
and the production Of positive and
overwhelming testimony that the
Mayors strong opposition to those evils
Is comparatively a new thing under the
sun.
