ONLY PRESBYTER|ANS| l
Why the Sultan of Sulu Made a
 Peace Treaty with Us
Rhere Was No Need of Killing the American Invaders for They Were Not ChrfstianA, But
 Presbyterians.

When the qualification of Luzon, the largest and most important island 1n the Philippines, was in sight, troops were dispatched to other islands, and efforts made to establish American au- thority throughout the archipelago. The Sulu islands especially attracted early attention because of the difficult ties that seemed to lie in the way or their conciliation.
 The people of this widespread group of small islands in the great archipelago, are Islamites and practice both slavery and polygamy. Like most primitive peoples, they are intolerant in their re- ligious views and practices. They espe- cially abhor Christians, including in the term all Europeans and the native Fil1- pino Catholic converts. To kill one Of these "infidel dogs" is commonly re- garded as commendable act, and sure passport for the assassin to Paradise. In consequence, but few Christians ever visited the Sulus previous to the Ameri- can occupation.
 Whe1f the time came for the military authorities to take up the question Of the subjugation of these islands, Gen. Bates was sent to Jolo, the capital the Su1u group, to treat with the sultan. The task was by no means an easy one. Slavery and polygamy were firmly fixed institutions in the Sulu polity, and the warlike character of the people left lit tie doubt that any interference with those institutions would precipitate bloody war It seemed evident to those acquainted with the situation, when ne- gotiations with the sultan began, that treaty was impossible and that war alone could settle the questions at is- sue. The Sulus. it was believed, would not give up slavery and polygamy, and the United States could not possibly permit the practice of those twin in- tquities within her possessions.
 The general was very diplomatic in approaching the subject of the sover- eighty of the Sulu islands. He began by endeavOring to impress the sultan with

Motor catching has been going on merrily enough for the last two years, but probably few members of the gen eral public are aware of the enormous extent to which the sport is practiced by the rural police, says the Sporting News Week by week the coffers of the local courts are being filled to a tune which has become positively start ling, and which threatens ere long to make the levying of county tax rates q superfuity. This outcry is justifie by the figures which show that more than $20.000 were collected in fines from English automobilists in the last year, and the chief constable of Hunt ingtonshire stated with pride in his last annual report that more than $2,- GOO had been extracted in fines from passing automobilists. These penal ties were inflicted for the most part for technical Attractions of speed limit of twelve miles an hour, and they were by no means confined to towns or populous roads. pAmericansS boast of their pre- eminence in business meth ods, and are not slow in looking for loopholes to avoid taxation. The state of New Jersey has freed itself of all direct taxation by establishing a. cor poration charter factory in Trenton, whose output brings in cash returns in fees sufficient to asrtln the government. But the. sEnglishsf farmer Is not ae whit less keen, and he is harrging@the auto rnobilist to lower his tax rate, system atically and ardently.

 the magnitude and power of the United States. The sultan listened patiently for awhile, but interrupted at last to express his surprise that so great a country should want the little islands over which he presided.
 This line of diplomacy having failed, other methods were resorted to, result ing finally in an agreement of submis- sion on the part of the sultan, upon a money basis, leaving the questions Of slavery and polygamy in abeyance. When the formalities of signing the document were completed, the high con- tracting parties hastened to congratu- late each other over the happy .conclu- sion they had reached. When this cere- mony was over the general proceeded to address the sultan. Our people, he said, in effect, enjoy a form of govern ment in which every man is a sovereign If any indignity is offered one of them. we are swift as a nation to avenge him. The assassination of a single Ameri- can, continued the general, energetical- ly, will bring an army and ships of war to avenge his death.
 The sultan seemed greatly impressed by the generals words, and as soon as the occasion permitted, called his scribes about him and began the prep aration of 8 proclamation to his people. He was much .gratified with the liberal terms accorded him and quite readyto exhaust all his powers in an effort to restrain his people from acts of vio- lence. One thing, however, distressed him. He was in doubt whether the Americans were or were not Christians. If they were, 1t was serious question how he could restrain his subjects from injuring and murdering them.
 A bright idea struck him at last, and calling an interpreter he sent the man among the soldiers to find out, if possi- ble, whether the general and his people were Christians. The interpreter re- turned presently with the information that the general in his own country was a Presbyterian.
 The information pleased the sultan greatly. The religion of a great ambas- sador, he reasoned, must necessarily be the religion of the people of his coun. try. The conditions were therefore aa happy and desirable as possible, from the Sulu standpoint, and the proclama, tion was promptly concluded.
 You must not kill or injure the Ameri. cans, the proclamation ran, because they are like bunch of matches. Ii you touch one the whole bunch will go off Besides, it concluded argumentatively. why should the Sulus kill the Ameri. cans? They are not Christians, they are Presbyterians.

DUBLIN,s LIONS.

Two of Them Kept Out of Doors All
 Winter.
 The continued prosperity of the Dublin Zoo during the last few years has enabled certain experiments of highly interesting nature to be carried out, says the London Globe. As is we'll known, this institution has long been famous for its lions. For some mysterious reason these animals flour ish and breed i'll the Dublin Zoo. in a manner which is unequaled in any other country. As result, in the autumn of last year. the council found themselves in possession of no fewer than 30 lions, two of which could easily be spared for an experiment. Hitherto it has been considered necessary to treat lions as the denizens of sum- mer climate But it has long been known to the zoologist that at one pe- riod of the earth's history lions roamed over the greater part of Europe, and that they must at one time been capa- ble of withstanding great changes of tempera ture.
 It therefore occurred to those in au- thority at the Dublin Zoo that 1t was perhaps unnecessary to keep the lions Ill a warm house during the winter Accordingly, two of the weediest young lions male, and female were placed in a cage out of doors. with a roof to keep off rain, and a large dog kennel to which they might retire at pleasure. The Dublin winter of 1902 was partic- ularly severe, but the lions not only ac- cepted the situation without any signs of discomfort. but have since .devel- oped into the strongest and Shealthiest of the entire stock. Further, nature has adapted them to the altered con- ditions by giving them thick and shaggy coats. capable of resisting the most indictment weather Encouraged by the success the management of the Dublin Zoo will probably carry their experiments further afie1d The an- thorpoid apes and many of the mon keys are kept (as they are kept in the London Fool in what are nothing bet ter than hothouses, with the result that they are susceptible to the slight est draught. It is hoped that the adoption of the "open air treatment may effect a considerable reduction in mortality among these animals.

Another symptom of reviving conf dence in financial circles is the good de- lmand for bonds, writes Banker Clews in his weekly letter. Later on it will no doubt be found that very considerable amounts of the better grade securities have been quietly put into strong boxes at recent low prices, so that the supply of desirable investments will be very much diminished, Just now dis elimination is particularly necessary, have spent it's force the good stocks which suffered through the bad are likely to pull sharply away from the indifferent ones and regain their nor nal level. Fortunately there has been little marginal speculation i'll the in- .dustrfals, which are still lodged to a large extent with their creators. As collateral also their availability has been greatly diminished, and their dan ger to the general market correspond ingly lessened. Of course, ultimately a resting place will have to be found for these indigestib1es, their salvation seeming dependent upon reorganlza- ton. Much Of the inevitable loss has already been endured, having fallen upon those best able to sustain that loss, but the most remarkable thing, perhaps, is that the break down of the trust systenl-the collapse of the in dustrials is nothing less than that has come with so comparatively little injury, to the country at large. The chief depression has fallen upon Wall street, and while the country at large Is bound to feel the disturbance it's ef- feet has been astonishingly slight thus far.

 POTATOES A FOOT LONG
Remarkable Crop Being Gathered in
 Sheridan, Wyoming.

s
 Sheridan, Wyoming, a mushroom town of ten years growth, looks with scorn upon Greeley county, Col, for it has seen the Greeley potato and gone It one better. They claim there, and the claim seems to be we'll substanti- ated, that Sheridan holds the worlds record for the size and yield of it's po- tatoes. It is not necessary to say that the town is founded upon irrigation. Without artificial water supply 1t would be the sage brush desert it was eleven years ago.
 Presient Alger of the First National bank of Sheridan declares that 976 bushels of potatoes have been raised on one acre of Sheridan farm land. This feat was accomplished in a com petltlon With Greeley, and for prize of SIOOO. An agricultural publication offered the prize and named the condi- tions. It was stipulated that the acre be surveyed and that the potatoes be dug i'll the presence of committee which should make affidavit before a notary public of the amount of the yield. The winner challenged the Greeley farmers to another contest. offering to bet an additional S1 GOO that 976 bushels could be exceeded and Greeley again surpassed, but the chal- lenge was not accepted.
 It is easy for one who has seen the Sheridan potatoes. taken at random from any field along the road, as was permitted to do, to believe that the potato brag'' of this town is well founded. The potatoes are nearly one foot in length by six inches in diam eter, with an occasional specimen al- most the size of a mans head Most of the yield at present is sold for use on the Union Pacific dining cars. where they are served up baked and are very popular with the travelling public. An occasional carload, how every goes to Chicago and Minneapo- lis. At first the farmers sent the po- tatoes to market as Greeley potatoes, but they are now getting reputation which enables them to stand on their own merits. Tn the course of time Sheridan will become world-famous as the greatest producer of the .spud."
 Sheridan is situated at the base of the Big Horn mountains and within sight of Clouds peak, one of the high est points in the Rockies. 1t is on the site of the camp of General Crook, pitched during the Indian uprising which led to the Custer massacre, and is only fifty miles from the scene of that historic event. It was at the base of the Big Horn mountains that the Indians made their last stand.
 The water for the irrigation is taken from Goose creek, which flows through the valley and town. Ditch building is done entirely by private enterprise and 1t has not been neces. gary to perform any difficult task of. engineering to put the water on the land. On account of limited water supply, but little more land can be brought under cultivation, unless the government takes up project to dam up a natural reservoir in one of the canons to the west. Such project would store thousands of gallons which run off in the spring freshets; and reclaim a hundred thousand or more additional acres. This will prob- ably come in time.-Minneapolis Jour nal
