Manila, Feb. 1.-Major General Cor.
bin today relinquished command of the
military division of the Philippines to
Major General Wood and sailed for

al staff. The transfer of command was
made with impressive ceremony at Fort
Santiago. Army and navy officers,

there was no parade of the troops.
In giving over the command to Gen
eral Wood, General Corbin said:
"It has been my aim to make the
army here an honor to the country and
a credit to the military service. Com
ing here, placed myself in touch with
Governor General Wright, and he met
me in the came spirit in which l ap-
preached him. As result there has
been a total disappearance of the last
vestige of friction and jealousy between
the military and civil government"

ELECTRIC PLANT FOR PEAT.

Product of BOgs Dfsintegrated, but
Retains Heating Power.
An electric process for the treatment
Of peat has lately been adopted In Eng
land at the Johnston & Phillips works.
The peat is transformed into hard
combustible, which is we'll adapted for
use under boilers. The operation Is
said to last two and half hours, and
the material costs less than ordinary
coal The combustible which Is thus
produced has high caloriflc value and
gives scarcely any smoke.
A plant on a large scale Is to be in
stalled In Ireland and II successful it
will be an important move in the direc-
ton Of utilizing peat as fuel under tho
best conditions. In the present pro-
cess the peat as 1t comes from the bogs
is placed in cylinders, which revolve
at high speed, while set Of air fans
is used to drive OF the water, which
forms about 80 per cent Of the total
A set Of electrodes is placed in tho
cylinders and connected with
dynamo. The circuit Is completed
through the mass Of the peat between
the electrodes. The resistance which
the peat offers to the current causes
considerable heat and the latter breaks
up the peat and pulverizes 1t, but with
out causing 1t to lose any Of its prop
critics.
In order to increase the conducttvity

tain chemical products. After this
process the peat is treated by set OF
kneading rollers, which give it plastic
consistency so as to enable 1t to take
any desired form. From here 1t passes
to an automatic press which forms it
into briQuettes. 1t Is then ready for
use and is taken to the storeroom.
It Is to be remarked that although
the passage Of the current through the
peat gives rise to heating effect tho
results obtained in this way are quite
different from those which another
method Of heating would produce. BY
fire heat the particles Of the peat lose
their different constituent matters,
while the electric heating causes them
to disintegrate, thus freeing thei- Gel
lular material and distributing Il
throughout the entire mass Of the peat.
Thus all the particles become adap'ed
for combustion.
To obtain a harder material the d's-
aggregated peat is given larger
treatment with the current. The air Is
kept out by tight cover, and the mass
is then treated with an adhesive solu.
ton so as to unite the particles The
ex,eriments have been made with the
process on a large scale and at a great
expense, and it is said to have been
greatly improved In the details and eau
now be applied commercially.

A Snow Map.

Lowell and Caroline live In one house
and Elsie and Lloyd in the next, and
the four play together in the big back
yard that stretches behind both houses.
One day, when the snow was soft
and sticky, Lowell, who is on Europe
and Asia in geography, fancied a spot
Of untrampled snow looked like the
continent Of Europe, and he began to
shape it more perfectly.
He told Caroline II she wished that
she might make an Africa to go with
the Europe and Asia he was making.
Caroline hurried into the house after
her geography, for she did not remem-
Der all about Africa.
Elsie chose to make a map Of North
America, and said she weuld help Lloyd
with South America. for he had just
begun geography. and was not yet out
Of the United States.
The eastern hemisphere is the hard
est to do, because ii Is so irregular; but
Lowell and Caroline modelled II in the
damp snow, and Lowell helped Elsie
and Lloyd.
The next day they added Greenland
and Iceland and Australia and Japan,
and other islands. Another day they
made mountains and mountain ranges,
and since Lloyd had learned about vol
canoes he was allowed to make those
and to sprinkle ashes on the tops. They
began to find geography more interest
ing than all their other studies.

ASK ROOSEVELT
TO INVESTIGATE
Action of Seattle Chamber of Com.
merCe on Valencia Wreck.
Stories Told by Survivors at Investi-
cation Conflict, but 1t Is Evident
There Was a Great Lack of Dis
ciplne Among the Crew of the
Lost Steamer.

Seattle, Feb. The positive declar.
alton made by Frank Richley, a FIRE,
man aboard the Valencia, that he had
refused to risk wearing tule life pre-
server; the statement of T. Brown, a
passenger, that the preserver he found
ashore Immediately sank when thrown
into the water. were the sensational
features OF today's inquiry into the
Valencia wreck.
Supplementing these sworn state
ments, and equally important, is the
peremptory demand of the Seattle
chamber of commerce that President
Roosevelt send from Washington a
commlnittee to make thorough inves-
tigation of the wreck.
Fireman Richley's declaration that
no officer went off in command of No.
lifeboat was the other sensational fea-
ture of the day. Richley's statements,
though, are not worth much, for be
was badly mixed on the stand when ex-
amined, and later the sailor Joslyn
contradicted him fatty on points where
Richley had wavered under cross exam
ination.
Joslyn testified that after the No.
boat had gone he went to No. s.
Contradicting the testimony of H. A.
Hawkins, who yesterday said the for
ward fall on this boat had broken, JOS
lyn said it was all right. He stated
that the after fall had been cut. When
the last boat was lowered from No. 5
falls, he said, it had become necessary
to take the falls from No. 6 over and
rig them on the No. davits.
William Dougherty, fireman, stated
the llfeboat's tackle was in bad condi-
ton. He said that when the order was
given to lower the boat it was difficult
to do 80, because the ropes holding
them to the davits were entangled. He
heard some one order the boats low.

order. He helped lower one of the
boats.
When asked what chance the pas
sengers had of getting into the life raft
he gave the significant answer:
"They had as much chance as the
crew."

Thursday, February !.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The discussion
of the railroad rate bill was taken up
and prosecuted with vigor throughout
the day. So many speakers have come
to the front on this measure that the
house agreed to meet at ii O'Clock
hereafter until the debate is ended.
The feature of the debate was the
lengthy speech OF Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, who arraigned the legislation
with arguments of varied character,
all of which tended to give his reasons
for being unalteIably opposed to the
bill.
The resolution of Burton, OF Ohio.
looking to the preservation OF Niagara
Falls, was agreed to without discus
zion. The resolution calls for infurma-
ton from the International commission
on that subject.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate to-
day passed 80 or 40 miscellaneous bills
and gave several hours to the consid-
Grafton of the shipping bill. Among
the bills passed was one providing for
a delegate in congress from Alaska and
a number providing for light houses,
revenue cutters and fish culture sta
tions. The greater part OF the time
devoted to the shipping bill was con-
sumed by Penrose in speech in sup
port of the measure.

Saturday, February 8.

Washington, Feb. S.-Various phases
of the railroad rate question were
threshed over in the house today in the
course Of nine speeches which occupied
elk and half hours. This concludes
the fifth day OF the discussion, but the
end is not yet. Many members on
both sides OF the house desire to record
their views and general debate will be
allowed to continue.
Representative Randall today offered
a bill that he will offer az an amend.
ment. 1t makes stringent provision 9
against the giving or accepting of rail-
way passes or franks by senators, con.
gressmen and judges. He proposes a
fine of not less than 81 900, or impris-
onment for not less than one year, or
both, and disqualification from ever
again holding public Office. The agent
or official of the company giving the
pass or frank, upon conviction, is to be
fined not less than 500, nor more than
81 900, or imprisoned for not less than
six months nor more than one year, or

How to Make a steam Engine.
An easily constructed steam engine
may be made by any boy with very
simple materials. An old baking-pow-
der box will do for the boiler. Fasten
its lid to 1t with shellac varnish, and
punch two holes In the side Of the box,
one about the size Of pin hole, the
other as large as slate pencil The
larger hole must be fitted with wood
en- plug or cork.
Your boiler Is now complete, but It
must be fastened at its two ends be-
tween two upright posts that are at
tached to Dashboard, 80 that the two
holes will be the top Of the boiler.
The side posts should rise at least two
inches higher than the top Of the boil
er, and should be connected at the top
by piece Of stout wire, which will
serve as an axle to a stiff wheel, like
a water-wheel, or the paddle Of
steamboat.
This wheel is made by taking large
pill box, making Sits in its sides, and
slipping in pieces Of stiff cardboard,
which project at least half an inch
on each side of the box. When these

RIOTS AT CHURCHES.
Catholics Resist Entrance by Officers
of French Republic.

Paris. Feb. 2. Everywhere in
France the actual putting into opera
tion of the clause of church and state
separation bill which provides for the
making of inventories of the property
of the churches has aroused storm OF
protest. In several provincial parishes
Catholics have gathered in the churches
and made such strong resistance that
the government commissioners were
unable to enter the edifces.
In Paris today violent scenes took
place in several churches, notably that
of St. Clothilde. An inventory Of the
property Of the church of St. Roche has
not yet been made, owing to the op-
position OF the congregation, but the
defenders of the church of st. Clothilde
succumbed before the aceault OF an
armed force which acted on the avowed
intention of the government to use
every means at its disposal to compel
obedience to the enactment.
In the chamber of deputies this after
noon Premier Kouvier replied to an in
terpellation on the subject by Social
lat deputy. The government, however,
secured a vote of confidence by 384
against 1866, after the premier had
assured the chamber that the govern
ment was desirous of using tact and
moderation in carrying out the law,
but that it was fully determined to per-
form it's duty, no matter what the cost.
A dispatch from Dijon says fresh dis.
turbances broke cut today in front of
the church of st. Michael. The square
was closed only after the free use of
FIRE hose and the efforts of mounted
gendarmes. Many arrests were made.
