INFANT MORTALITY LARGE.
Exposure the Cause of Many Fatal Affections Among the Children
 of Poor Filipinos.

The board of health for the Philip pine islands reports for November last the deaths of 404 children under one year of age, from causes varlously re- ported as conyulsions. eclampsia and tetanus, and adds:
 "Of these. 15S occurred within 90 days after birth. The more prominent symp- toms presented by these three causes largely resemble each other. and it is believed that the latter are often con founded with each other, particularly since deaths of this class largely occur in the absence of medical attendance and the death certificates in such cases must be made out on the basis of the symptoms given by members of the fam fly There is strong reason for belief that the deaths occurring in the first month after birth and attended by con- vulsions chiefly depend upon tetanus in- lection at the umblicus. due to the handling of the unhealed stump of the cord with unclean fingers and the com mon local practice of massaging the abdomen of the new born.
 Ip OlUti QcdlHS dIllOuS infants, re- ported as occurring from convulsions, debility and bronchitis probably result in large part from exposure, due to non- use of sufficient clothing depending upon poverty or ignorance. The common practice by the poorer classes of allow ing children to remain practically un- clothed during the first few years of life can scarcely fail to result in chilling at night or during stormy weather The above causes of an unduly high infant mortality should be largely preventable. For their prevention the board of health has prepared a popular circular on the treatment of the new born and the care and feeding of infants, and has also au- thOrized for the future the gratuitous issue of yard of flannel to each infant whose parents are financially unable to procure suitable clothing for its proper protection against exposure during the first few months of life"

COTTON MANUFACTURERS
Eighth Annual Convention of the
 National Association.
the Manufncturers Reviewed by President C. W. Heath.

Washington, May 12-The American Cotton Manufacturers association con vened here for it's eighth annual ses- sion. About POO members of the as- soeiation were present. The pro- gramme of the opening session included addresses by c. w. Heath of Monroe. N. C., president of the association: Secretary Cortelyou of the department of Commerce, Prof. R. F. Carpenter. of Ithaca, N. Y, and others.
 President Roosevelt is to receive the members of the association at the White House Thursday.
 President Heath, in his address. said that the most serious condition now confronting the cotton manufacturers IS the high price of raw cotton. coupled with the small returns for the manufac- tured product. The scarcity Of farm laborers in the south. due to the migra- tion of the negro to the cities. is one or the most serious conditions to be met. To meet it the immigration of Italian and other foreign farm laborers will have 10 be encouraged.
 Touching on the labor problem. Mir Heath asserted that while the right of labor to organize was not questioned, neither should the right of capital to combine be questioned. The power of labor organizations, he said, was being pat at the present time to dangerous uses. It was menacing individual Yi Ch fc
 ment to fix the hours of labor. These developments, he concluded. threatened the very principles of the government

GOLD IN A DEADLY MINE.
The Valley of Death in Mindanao Ex- plored by an Adventurous
 American.

The famous Valley of Death in the island of Mindanao. in the Philip. pines, has at last been compelled 10 give up the rich treasure which for ages It has successfully guarded by It's pail of death-dealing gases This valley. says recent report, which, true to its name, has dealt death 10 many venturesome seareher for the precious metal. is located in the mountain fastnesses of the island, and. according O the theories of sci. entists, it Is the crater of what was once great and violent volcano. volcanic gases of a most poisonous nature still rise from the depths of the valley and hang over it like pail. never passing away. and many na- tlves who have attempted to go down into the valley from the mountains say that never before has any man Who ventured into it's unknown depths returned to tell of it's secrets. The distance across the valley is only a few miles. but the bottom of 1t Is constantly concealed from view by
 
 overhanging it.
 An American named Rudy formed a party at Manila, consisting of him. self and two other Americans. and employing three native guides, pro ceeded to the mountains inclosing the valley, where one of the Americans With the guides were left in charge or the outfit. while the other two en. tered the valley with their heads completely covered by an apparatus similar to that worn by divers. Car rying oh their backs small tanks of compressed air for breathing pur poses so as to avoid inhaling the deadly vapors the men worked in the valley for months, carrying sack ful after sackful of gold bearing sand and gravel up the mountain side This work was continued until both were almost worn out from the de. pressing work and the fumes which they were forced to breathe a DOT. tion of the time, but never once could any one of the natives be persuaded | to venture beyond the outer circle of the poisonous gases.
 l Many Americans have made pre-. vtous attempts to go down into the valley, but none were ever before successful in doing much work there For years natives living in the inlan. exhibited large and beautiful nugget: of gold. which they claimed wert taken from the edges of Death valley but never have their statements beer | substantiated until the success of the daring attempt made by Mir. Rudy's 1 party.
 The recent undertaking is consid l cred as merely a trip of investigation and Mr Rudy expects to return to the islands next winter. taking with him complete apparatus for compress. ing air, when he will organize a party sufficiently large to thoroughly ex- plore and work all that portion of the valley which promises rich returns in gold.

They Are Made Against Several h. dividuals High in the Coun-
 cils of Methodism.
!, THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
 OF ALL CHARGES WILL BE MADE.
There Is Promise of an Interesting Hattie Between the Aggresstye Element in the Educational De- partn,cnt of the Church and the More Conservative Branch.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 12.-The pres eut indications as that the heresy charges which have been made against several individuals high in the coun- ciIs of Methodism are destined to pro- yoke a spirited conflict among the del- egates to the Methodist general con- ference before a final settlement to the controversy is reached. The commit ice on education has appointed sub committee. which will have eonsidera- ton of this important matter The oupstfon as to whether this sub-com- mittee shall have power to call before <. persons upon whose testimony will Nbe decided the charges of heresy. and papers bearing upon the subject evoked a vigorous contest in the main committe.
 After much debate, the sub-commit- ice was finally voted the power of a board of inquiry. and will hear all tn evidence bearing up on this subject Memorials on these charges have been received from the Columbia River, Southern Illinois and Swedish confer eaees. asking for an examination into the orthodoxy of books in use in Meth odist schools and of the professors in several of the faculties Members of the Rock River conference sent in a memorial asking the board of bish- ops 10 refuse to confirm the appoint ment of professors whose orthodoxy there was reasonable ground for doubt.
 All of these memorials and others of similar import were recommended ta the subcommittee
 Three prominent educators on the committee. who are standing together on the ground that theology in Meth caist schools ia. safe ard sound. are Chancellor ] R. Day. of Syracuse. i. President Charles ]. Little. Of Garrett El.sal institute, and Secretary ". r.

Their con tegtiaus against these two important clauses are made more interesting by the fact that the three gentlemen named are all prominent candidates for b5shopfic honors They represent the aggressive element in the educa- '.oual department of the church, and as taey win or lose the question ot liberal or conservative policies in the church may largely be determined,
