MANILA A SURPRISE.
The Touring Kansas Editor Finds the
Capital Of the Philippines
q Fine City.
e. w. Howe in the Atchison Globe.

f. w. Howe in the Atchison Globe.
Manila is good deal more of
city than expected to find it. This
was my impression as l viewed 1t
from the ships deck, while waiting
Tor the port doctor and the custom-
house officers. These officials finally
came OFF, and were very slow. We
Yankees are very rapid and bustling
IN patriotic American literature, but
l noticed that the native Filipinos un-
loaded 200 cattle from the ship before
the American officials unloaded thir-
ty-siX passengers. was surprised
at the size of Manila as l viewed it
from the bay; l was still more sur
prlsed after we passed into the Pasig
river, and steamed toward the Gus
tom house. The buildings are larger
than l expected to find them, and more
imposing looking. The bay was
crowded with ships, and the Pasig
river was lined on either side with
small boats. 1 found Manila busy
important city, nearly as large as San
Francisco, with wide streets and i'm
posing buildings. l have read great
deal about Manila of course, and have
often heard it described, but no one
has ever made me understand it.
We decided to go to the Delmonico
hotel, and were taken there in a queer
two-wheeled vehicle, with the driver
sitting on little seat just in front of
u.s. The Delmonico hotel is within
the walled city. During the Spanish
reign Manila was surrounded by an
immense wall and moat. The wall
mas been torn down in many places
and the moat filled up by the Ameri-
cans.
At 6 o'clock we attended concert
given by band of eighty men in
line park on the shore of the bay. A
double-track street railway ran on one
side of the park, which was brilliant
ly lighted with electric lights, and
thousands Of orderly and well-dressed
people walked about. Seven out of
ten of the men were dressed in white.
Handsome horses attended by fine
carriages were drawn up around the
band-stand, and automobiles were nu-
merous. l haven't witnessed finer
scene in years. And this is Manila.
The band was the Constabu-
larry band, which played at the worlds
fair In st. Louis. The leader was a
black negro, graduate of the Bos-
ton Conservatory of Music, and when
he appeared, dressed in white, the
eighty members of the band arose to
salute him. At the conclusion of the
program the band played the Star
Spangled Banner" and nine-tenths of
the men took OFF their hats. And this

THE MOON AND VEGETATION.

The widespread belief that the
growth of plants is in some mysteri-
GUS manner related to the phases of
: the moon has just been put to the test
by NJ. Flammarion, the gAinent
French astronomer. At dates select
ed to correspond with the age Of the
moon he planted number OF COM
mon vegetables, such as potatoes,
peas, cabbages, ETC., and carefully
noted the variation in their growth.
The results were rather damaging to
the theory of the moons influence, 1T
being quite impossible to connect in
any way the development of the plants
with the varying phases of our satel-
lite. NJ Flammarion, however, is
nothing if not thorough, and he has
decided to continue his experiments
over a longer period and on a more
extensive scale. e
Convinced that the growth of vege-
tation depended largely on sun spot
activity, NJ. Flammarion many years
ago began systematic observations on
q number of trees in the vicinity of
his residence, and after thirty years
he claims to have proved that the
annual development of certain trees,
particularly the chestnut, varies with
the solar disturbances. OF more gen.
eral interest are his experiments at
the Juvisy observatory, Paris, where
by intercepting the suns rays with
different colored glass he has found
that while blue glass keeps vegetation
back red glass hastens 1t in most
remarkable manner. Some plants, In
deed, attain under red glass tenfOld
the height reached under blue, and by
the use of certain colors the color and
shape Of the leaves can be, modified
at will.-(Dundee Advertiser.)

1t Is stated as a fact that the thing
which took Marshall Field to New
York, just prior to his death, was an
impending transaction in Chicago &
Northwestern stock. The exact ma
ture of the business is unknown ex-
cept to those >who were directly in
terested, but 1t Is supposed that the
long-awaited Northwestern deal" was
on the point of being closed.
Ninety-five per cent of the heading
used In the 100000 tight barrels
manufactured last year was made by
the Southern Tight Barrel Heading
Manufacturers association. The assoc
citation represents an invested capital
of 100000 and embraces the produce
ing mills Of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Kentucky.

BENJAMIN s. Cable, who has Just
been promoted to the Office of general

or II. Il. Cable, once president of the
Rock Island and still interested in the

Western railroads are still engaged
(, IN a struggle regarding convention
rates for the coming summer season.
The trouble arose over the refusal of
the coast lines to make as favorable
rates for conventions in the middle
west as the roads In the middle west
have been making for conventions on
the Pacific coast. Unless an agree
ment is reached q rate war may result
that will make summer travelling very
cheap
The new tie and timber treating
plant of the Santa Fee Railroad COM

were IT not LOT tne ORDERS ODtalueu
by our shipbuilding yards for the con-
struction OF United States warships
and other government vessels such as
revenue cutters and lighthouse ten
ders. it would be difficult for many of
these establishments to keep their
costly plants In operation. This Is
particularly true of the larger plants
located on the Atlantic and Pacific
seaboard. Thus we find that during
the fiscal year ending July l, 1905,
there were under construction or un-
der contract in the shipyards of the
United States IS steel merchant yes

eminent vessels. of 3O8.702 tons; so
that the amount of work being done
for the government (most Of it for
the United States navy was over 60
per cent greater than the work being
done for private shipping concerns.
Even more remarkable were the con-
ditions in 1904, when the merchant
tonnage was only 94,9S8 tons, as
against 331 ,435 tons that were under
construction for the government In
the presence Of these figures, 1t would
be we'll for those people who are bit
terly opposed to the upbuilding Of our
navy to, bear In mind that our war
ships not only serve as guardians of
peace (for which they are just as es-
gential a. the police of our cities) but
the very net OF their creation has serv-
ed to keep alive the important ship

IGAROTTES STAND
UP FOR MORALITY

It is not for nothing that the Igarot-
ties have gained their reputation fol-
morality, if their demand on the cap
tain of the u. S. A. T. Sherman yes
terday, before the transport sailed, is
along the lines of their regular be
havior. This demand was to the effect
that one of their number, the chief
tainess, be confined in the brig lest her
conduct would cast a reflection upon
the rest of the band.
It appears that some of the sailors
of the Igarotte tongue to enter into
some sort of a conversation and had
confined their advances to the chief
tainess. This had aroused the suspicion
Of the rest of the band, hence their
desire that confinement of the offender
against their tribal law be carried out.
Their request was complied with by
Captain Bruguierre.
Another incident, proving the temper
of the dusky visitors, occurred shortly
before the transport sailed. A local
Porto Rican, said to be well known to
the police, grew too familiar in his con-
duct towards the women of the band
to his ultimate regret. Complaint was
made to the warriors, who promptly
threw themselves upon the intruder.
