Coughing is one of the nuisanccs that
no one has been able to abolish in
churches or in thcatcrs. A physician,
however. claims that the coughing nui-
sancc is mere question of acoustics.
There Is n subtle connection be-
tween the ear and the throat" he said.
When the car Is strained the throat
Is affected. and cough is the result.
When we can hear perfectly in church
or theater 1t never occurs to us TO
cough. But when we bend forward,
straining every nerve to catch tho &C.
tors or preachers mu1ied syllables,
then we find ourselves coughing every
little while. Build auditoriums with
perfect acoustic properties and war
rant that the thunderous choruses Of
coughs so common now among us will
be no more heard"

Representative HULL OF Iowa, the

drawn by the Army General STAFF, by
which it is hoped to relieve in a Measure
the conditions that threaten to involve
the nation in a terrible disaster. No n
can call 1t q radical measure. 1t pro-
poses to increase the number OF enlisted
men by 3,54e, where $4,000 are needed;
the mechanics by lightweight, where
500 are needed; the corporals by 52s,
where 2,7o0 are needed, and to make
proportionate increases in the other
grades. II passed, this bill will increase
the coast artillery by 1870 men and
raise the number Of men in the service
from "a per cent. to As per cent. of that
required. The bill also provides for an
increase Of pay for certain skilled grades
which with the present low pay 1t Is
impossible to keep filed. 1t provides for
a separation Of the coast end field artil-
lery and proper organization Of both.
Can it be possible that with a full
knowledge Of the facts Congress will
refuse the small increase asked for in the
coast artillery?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Str: am pleased
to notice by the reply DR.. Singer made 10 my re-
marks concerning the question at issue. Why
have the Rumanian Jews remained foreigners"
that this well read and fluent writer is hghting on
our side to some extent. and II he Is just as eloquent
as he is clever with his pen, there Is hope to see him
head the movement he advocates.
We need leaders that will show us the light OF toler-
ance. However. the question Is not answered by
giving as reasons the assassination Of Alexander II.
in 1881 and the retraction OF King Charles's royal
word, pledged In 1878. That is Just where the
trouble comes in-eAcuses, accusationsl The other
one Is at fault! We ARE the under dog and he strikes
at usi"-
But no salvation and betterment Of his position
among the nations can come TO the Jew II he looks
for reasons outside OF his own too well guarded
yard and always accuses the fellow on the other
side Of the fence.
DR.. Singer, fearlessly signing his name 20 his
articles, somewhat sarcastically alludes TO my
nom de plume. But truly. had I given my name.
no one would know me. anyway. / am neither o
doctor nor q lawyer, a physician nor a banker, o

until his policies and his strength are
clearly determined. He ls a man Of wide
experience In political affairs, but for
the last twenty years he has spent most
Of his time away from his country as
Consul In New York and Minister in Wash
ington. This may prove an advantage,
as it did in the case of President PALMA
in Cuba, His absence has kept him some
what apart from the local broils and
tangles which have 30 long perplexed
his country.
The great need Of Colombia is less
politics and more administration. In
many ways the affairs Of the country, and
the same may be said Of it's resources, are
like those Of Mexico a generation ago.
Like the Mexico Of that time, Colombia
is a land of political confusion, unwhole-
some ecclesiastical influence, limited ia
cilities for communication and transport
tation and vast undeveloped resources.
She greatly needs a man Of the Diaz type
as leader and ruler, a man Of genuine
patriotism and inflexible purpose,
General REYES has done much for his
country. We hope that the work so
we'll begun by him will be carried on
even more rapidly by his successor.

The sentim ent of the House.

Uncle JOE CANNON is a man with a
keen sense Of humor and of much fond
hess for his little joke. When he says
that so far as he knows there has been
no change Of sentiment in the House in
the matter of the Statehood bill, we can
easily imagine a little twinkle in one if
not in both Of Uncle JoE's eyes.
No man knows better than himself the
sentiment Of the House or this particu-
lar question. He certainly did have to
put in some of his very best ticks to in
duce and compel enough Of his flock to
follow him in order to secure the passage
Of the Hamilton bill. For several weeks
Mr.. BABCoCK and his band Of insurgents
kept the Speaker on a warm gridiron.
When he now talks about the rights of
the House" and refuses to yield to "the
dictates of the Senate" he finds it con-
venient to forget a certain infringement
Of the right of individual Representa-
tives to vote their convictions on the
Hamilton bill and the methods employed
to induce them to yield to the influences
which operate in connection with So
called Administration measures.
If the sentiment of the House has
undergone no change and no improper
pressure is brought to bear on its menu
bers, the amended Statehood bill will
be approved in that quarter, sure as
sunrise.

Volcanic Activity in Samoa.

A new tale Of volcanic destruction
m out Of Samoa, but it reads worse
than the facts OF the case warrant. The
destruction of a Samoan village, merely
a collection Of two or three dozen matched
houses, is little, and the land susceptible
of filth on the island of Savaii amounts
to little. The population is sparse, the
villages are widely spaced along a ar
row fringe OF coast, and Savaii is the
least important of the Samoan Islands
although far the largest.
= There Is a Samoan tradition that rather
more than a century ago there was an
outbreak OF volcanic activity in Savaii,
but in the tangle Of lava flows Of various
ages it has been found Impossible to
identify this one. The tradition recalls
no destruc tion as wrought in the in
habited regions Of the island. The pres
ent volcano OF Manga All, which is rather
a descriptive term, fire mountain, than
a specific designation, is the second phase
Of the eruptive activity which. broke out
in the wild interior of Savaii a little more
than five years ago. At that time there
developed a zone, Manga Mu, or burn
ing mountain, but the lava flows did no
more than fill up a few interior valleys.
Manga Aft broke out last year in the
bottom OF a valley at some little distance
from the former vent, which still re-
mains ~quiescent. 1t has filled the valley
of it's origin and has formed a consider
able cone. Several lava streams have
been making their way very slowly
toward the north coast, and it now APP
pears from the latest news that a small
lava rivulet has reached the tide. STU
dents Of vulcanism will be inclined, how
ever, to put little faith in the statement
that the flow has pushed out five miles
to sea. A similar statement was made
a few months ago, but the recognizable
incompatibility of fire and water should
argue the impossibility Of such a thing,
particularly on a coast such as that of
northern Savaii, where, with scarcely
any coral fringe, the land breaks sharp
of to abysmal ocean depths. The Ger
man administration has for some time
maintained a corps of observers at the
scene OF tne erupUOn, ana precise re-
ports will therefore not be lacking.
While volcanoes are rare in Samoa,
the central region Of the Pacific, of which.
the archipelago forms a part, is a well
recognized subdistrict Of the general
Pacific vulcanism. In the straits be-
tween Tau and olosega in American
Samoa a submarine volcano was reported
active in 1877. Fiji, to the westward, Is
full of thermal springs. To the south
there are volcanoes in Tonga and in
islands between the two a~rchipelagoes,
and between Tonga and Fiji the vol
canic formation Of Falcon Island and its
later destruction by the cause which
produced it marked the last years of
the last century.

named Gauthier and his mother were In 1857 con-
demned TO penal servitude for hfe for the murder
Of the woman's second husband. a worthless drunk
ard, who was drowned one dark night by failing
into some deep water as he made his way home
late, badly Intoxicated. The evidence which
mainly convicted the two accused was that OF q
witness who swore 10 having heard the dead man
shout: "A moi; on me mole" The convlct's mother
is long since dead. and the convict son. now an old
man. has managed 10 interest men willing TO assist
In his rehabilitation, In the presence OF a past
and OF the present Minister of Justice and OF Grim
inal experts the whole scene OF the tragedy has
been reconstructed after thirty nine years. Strang-
est fact OF all. a villagcr has been found, a woman.
who. though not called at the trial, declared that
she heard the cry OF the drowning man. and that
his words really and clearly were: "A moi: je me

life and death.
