Details of the new railroad which will cut through the Bernese Alps and form a connection with the simplon at Brigne show that the length of the line will be thirty-fve miles, which will in- ciude a tunnel through Lotschberg nearly eight and half miles long. The cost of the scheme is estimated at over s15,0oO,00O. The line will take five and a half years to construct, and will make the journey from Calais to northern Italy fifty-two miles less than that through the simplon.

The news comes from England that the motor eye is the latest develop ment that the medical profession has to deal with. It appears that those who are continually rushing through the country on motor car cause the eye flo take a too rapid impression of the things it encounters, and that this af- fleets the mechanism of the eye. Ma gure did not prepare us for the condl- ua4fons of modern times, and While It is adopting itself to them many unfore- seen circumstances must occur.

Chinese Visit "Uncle."

From the New York Times.
Complete civilization of the occidental va
riety has been achieved by the Chinese resi-
dents of New York. They have learned the
art of patronizing the pawnbroker. 1t took
the easy-gong celestials long while to app
preciate the value of that institution. Re-
peated hard knocks from fate, however,
will bring even a Chinaman TO the point
where he Is willing to avail himself of what
ever benefits the community has to confer.
SO by strenuous processes he was induced
to. investigate the mysteries of the pawn
shop. Having learned his lesson. he now
marches right up and strikes bargain with
the manager without a trace of bashfuness.
The only trouble u.s. a Chinaman seldom las

accept
There was a time when the celestial who
was hard up could get loan on his revolt

quarter have become a constant menace.
every Chinaman wants his shooting iron
where he can get at it without going
through the formality of redeeming it al
a pawnshop. However, there arc Chinese
curiosities, Chinese jewelry and Chinese
silks. and these treasures find their way
into pawnship with surprising frequency.

civil government had been inaugurated the
captains and their four Heutenants each
opened their recruiting offices simultaneous
" and the enlistment of the native SOL
diery began.
The response was immediate, and, as far
as numbers were concerned, entirely salts
factory. The quality of the recruits could
not be looked into closely at first because
the urgent need of some kind of police
force was great. Moreover. the wedding
out process was easy and could be post
poned. The urgent need arose from the
fact that brlgandage and outlawry over
ran the country in all directions. The
small but turbulent minority of irrecon-
cilables had formed themselves into small
bands, which harassed unprotected barrios
and pueblos. and forced the peaceahly in
clined inhabitants to give them money,
food and clothing. In some districts these
robber bands would pose as insurgents, re-
lying on popular sympathy, and with
gaudy uniforms, clanking their heavy
swords or war bolos, and staggering as
only Malay can swagger, they had set
up reign Of terror. In others they played
upon religious fsnaticism to precisely the
same ends, and many self-styled "popes''
headed marauding bands IN many of the
Islands. Organized thieves and rnurderers,
with an experience of war and rebellion

of course, are hopeless; they are not even

Sfkhs among the Indian forces.
The question of stability has answered
itself In a highly satisfactory way. In the
first year assertions were frequent, but the
system was so and the discipline go
meager that the figures could not be relied
upon test. In the second year the total
OF assertions was only eight-four, or some
thing over l per cent and in more than half
the provinces there was none to record. AS
the general lawlessness has decreased and
the country has settled down, there has
been more time available Tor discipline and
drill, and the decrease In desertion has been
steady. This Is exactly as was expected,
and the morale of the soldiers Is such that
no fears are entertained for the future.
Moreover. the information division has been
placed upon q solid and efficient working
basis, and may be relied upon increasingly

All the Filipinos as a class are eager TO
learn English and Spanish. Many good
servants willing to work without wages
for this privilege alone. And this strong
desire to learn is generally characteristic
o fthe native soldier. Morally, that is, in
financial questions, he is far from saintship,
as he will spend his money chIdishly and
show an equally childish Indifference to pay
ing his debts. He is q good liar, and often
will lie without any apparent reason. But
he Is patient under misfortune and hard

they killed II insurgents, captured 30 and
accepted surrender from 800. They killed
663 ladrones, captured 2,S03 and accepted
surrender from TO7. They also captured
2,0s9 firearms and l., 600 rounds of ammun,-
ton. Altogether this made a start which
promised eXeeilentiy for the future. In
their second year they killed 1,135 outlaws
and captured 2,722, with 945 firearms and
2, 200 bolos. They lost five officers and fifty
three men killed. During these two years
they saved the United States treasury many
millions, and the annual economy which
| they represent is from ten to twelve mil
lions of dollars. This win appear from the
following figures. showing a steady reduc-
ton in the number of army troops:
On December 10. 1901, ak months after
the constabullry was organized, there were
80 army posts, with 3T,34o troops. The
constabulary at this time occupied ninety
four posts. with 2417 men.
On July 81, 1902, the army occupied 1875
posts with a total of 70, 600 whites and > 1000
natives, philippine scouts), and the con-
stabulary had 2o2 posts with $500 men.
On July /. 1903, the American force had
been reduced to 1900 in seventy posts and
the constabulary had 216 posts and $500
men.
