Are the Philippines
 To Be Parted From?
Skagway Alaskan.

Eastern papers are publishing story, "vouched for by those in the confidence of the president that it has been de- termined to sell the Philippine Islands to Japan or to parcel them out among the nations. The appointment of Gen. Luke E. Wright, democrat, to be am- bassador to Japan is explained to be for the purpose of negotiating the sale. His long association with the islands, it is said, qualities him particularly to speak of their value to Japan.
 In substantiation of this story it is pointed out that recently Senator Crane of Massachusetts, who is close to Mr Roosevelt, introduced resolution in the senate authorizing the president to ne gotiate with foreign powers to the end that the integrity of the Philippines will be preserved in case the United States relinqushes them, and that Represent ative Longworth, of Ohio, who was soon to become the presidents son-in-law, made d speech on the Philippine tariff bill in which he asserted with startling frankness that the Filipinos are shift less lot, and that the sooner the United States is rid of them the better it will be for all concerned.
 These things were given something more than passing attention when they took place, as indicating a loosening of the ep-the-Philippines at-any cost" attitude of the dominant folces in the republic, but in view of the announce ment, coming with credentials said to be first class, that plans are already under way for disposing of the islands, they loom up in the background like towering mountains in landscape painting.
 It is said further, that whether any thing more nearly official shall ever come of this scheme depends upon the manner of the acceptance of the unoffi- cial announcement by the people.

Inflated with hydrogen, it will have tota ascensional force of 15,300 pounds Seven thousand pounds will be tn, weight of the ship and it's equipmen complete, leaving 5000 pounds for cargo The ship will be provided with thre, motors, with combined energy of 7( horsepower. If the winds hinder II, more than they help and there are nc delays, this ship can motor from nortl Spitzbergen to the pole in 45 hours.
 "The airship will have an enduranc, capacity in buoyancy sufficient to enabl, it to remain 25 or 80 days in the air. | will carry $500 pounds of gasoline ant its distance capacity during calm weather will be eighteen miles, more than equa to the distance from Spitzbergen straigh across the pole and the whole Arcti, ocean to Alaska.

In fact the ship will bt subject to the will and hand of the navi gator just like a steamship upon the ocean.
 Beside the $500 pounds of fuel men. toned, the ship will carry also five men, comfortable car to live in (which is also boat in case of need), food and supplies for 75 days, sledges to draw them over the ice, and, in fact, com. pletely organized and equipped sleighine party, ready at any moment, should il be necessary to abandon the airship and take to the ice. If, at the worst, oui ship of the air carries us only to tht vicinity of the pole, or two thirds of the way to it, we have an alternative method of travel by which we may reasonably hope to complete our task and make oul return to land in safety.
 At no time will our airship be out o touch with the surface of the earth.

 As an assistant on his expedition Mr. Wellman will have the services of Santos Dumont, of Paris, who will have charge of the construction of the airship and will act as aeronautic director and pilot If the ship on its voyage toward the north pole.
 The airship will be built by Louis Goddard, of Paris, under the supervision of M Santos-Dumont, and will be com pleted by the end of next April. No definite date has yet been decided upon when the explorers will start on their journey, but it is expected that every thing will be in readiness to get away next July or early in August. After completion the airship will have several trials in or about Paris, and in June all the paraphernalia for the journey will be assembled in Spitzbergen, where the explorers will await a favorable oppor- tunity for the dash to the pole, which, according to Mr. Wellman, should the expedition meet with a good run of luck, should be reached in less than a week.
 In announcing his acceptance of the proposed expedition MT. Wellman said:
 ''If I did not believe that the chances of success were greater than those of failure I should not accept the assign ment.
 ''Mr. Moves acted upon no sudden whim or impulse, when he gave me the order to locate the muchsought north pole, as he had before him a report, which 1 submitted to him as the out come of two visits to the inner polar regions; of years of study of the prob special investigation of airship construc- ton and navigation; the wind and eli inatic conditions to be encountered, and the mechanical and meteorological fac tors involved. In this specialists were consulted, voluminous technical reports were received, and, finally, a complete, symmetrical, and at least promising project was evolved by me as represent ing seemingly practical combination of the latest development of many of the arts for accomplishing the results in view.
 ''The problem of reaching the pole by means of an airship does not require high speed, and the present rate of the art of aerial navigation by gas-driven ships is ample for that purpose. From an easily reached base of operations in northern Spitzbergen we have about 550 geographical miles to go to the pole, and a like distance for the return voyage. If we take the whole at ,2uO miles it means but 100 hours of motoring at l2 miles an hour. santos pumont has repeatedly made from l9 to 23 miles an hour with small airships. and equipped with rela- tively small motors.

What Caricature is.
lMetropolita n Magazine.)

Caricature is comic realism. 1t is the
art that portrays the vanity of mankind
by thrusting him skeletonized under our
noses The humor of the death head, the
irony of cross. bones, the melancholic
smile that fits over the universalized
mind when it beholds, without the slight
est trace of emotional bias, the gestures
and attitudes of men and women pur-
suing, in all seriousness, the phantasms
of earth-something of these things is
found to persist in the impression the
work of the great caricaturist leaves on
one when all the lesser impressions have
fallen away.
There are two kinds of realism-the
realism of the eye and the realism of the
mind one being founded on mere sensu.
GUS perception, the other founded on in.
tellectual perception. Sensuons percep-
ton will report what is seen; intellectual
Observation-Disclosures realism in art
and literature-will report not only what
| is seen, but how it is seen. Romanticism
neither reports what is seen nor per.
ceived, but only what Is dreamed. Its
perceptions are flushed by emotion; it il
the distortion of the true into the beau.
tiful; whereas the caricaturist of Our
common humanity never distorts; he
unveils. His war is with obtuse roman
ticsm. He cuts away the suitings and
lessly as the surgeon cuts away the flesh
in an operation. He lays bare to the
bone.

The Cattle Co m m | S S one

The new rules and regulations of Cat
tie Commissioner j. E. Weeks is attract
ing the attention of the press to its inn
portance. Mr.. Weeks never does things
by halves, and those interested will ascer-
tain by his acts that his edicts are not
issued to fill up space or to fulfil his Office
in perfunctory manner.
The Burlington Free Press notices the
matter in his way:
"We publish in another column the
official statement Of State Cattle Com
missioner John E. Weeks announcing
that in view of the known existence of
bovine tuberculosis in States bordering
on Vermont the importation of cattle in
to this State is prohibited until permit
has been obtained from the cattle COM
missioner. The regulations require that
persons desiring to ship cattle into the
State must give notice to the commits
sioner stating the number of cattle to be
imported as we'll as when and where
they desire to cross the State line. Rail
roads are required to hold cattle shipped
into the State without a permit at the
State line and such cattle are to be held
in quarantine until released by the cattle
commissioner or his agents.

How to Save IA oney.

Yet that is the way milford R. Burt.
the popular druggist, is selling DIR.

of dyspepsia and constipation. In addi-
ton to selling fifty cent hottie, con-
tanning months treatment of sixty
doses. for rs cents, he gives his personal
guarantee with every bottle he sells to
refund the money if it does not give sat-
isfaction.
This unusual offer has brought hun.
dreds of customers to his store in the
last few weeks, yet out of the many bot.
ties of DIR. Towards specific he has sold
but one customer has asked to have the
money returned. This was done without
any questions, although milford R. Bur,
does not think the remedy could have
been given fair trial.

ChampIain Tercente n airy.

The joint resolution introduced in the
House by Representative McCuen of YER
gennes for the proper celebration of the
tercentenary of Lake Champlain in 1909
is excellent in spirit and purpose. 1t
should commend itself instantly to the
favorable consideration of the legislature
The only question that can justly be
raised, says the Burlington News, is in
reference to the time limit. Mr.. Nc
Cuen's plan leaves the practical arrange
ments for the proposed celebration with
the next legislature. But, even if that
body take action at once favorably and
prompt, there will remain only a few
months in which to make all the prepar-
ations. If the celebration is to be on a
large scale-a befittingly Urge scale
the time would be very short indeed
Still, we do not know that there is any
better plan. or if there were, that ii
would be practicable.
