Differ About saturn's Rings.

The view advanced by Prof. Perciyal
Lowell that the knots" recently discov-
a,ed in the rings of Saturn Indicate that
the rings are falling is not accepted by
Prof. Simon Newcomb of Washington,
who says that Strive more than half
century ago propounded the theory of the
falling rings of Saturn, based upon early
drawings compared with late ones. New
comb says the rings are now viewed al
most edgewise. so that it is impossible to
distinguish one from another. lie prefers
the theory put forth by Clerkc- Maxwell
sixty years ago, that the small satellites
which compose the rings sometimes crowd
together Prof Brashear of Pittsburg
agrees with Newcomb.

WILL ADD TO MISERY
OF A HARD WINTER.
European Labor Leaders Alarmed
Over Increase in Homecoming
Contingent.
STEAMSHIPS ARE LOADED DOWN
Hundreds of Destitute Aliens Wan
dering Streets of Paris on
Verge of Destitution.

The increasing contingents of home
Mediterranean steerage passengers are
disconcerting not only to the steamship
companies, who have inadequate facili-
ties for dealing with such Il sudden and
unexpected traffic, but to the labor
leaders of Europe, who deny that these
newcomers have sufficient money to
pass the winter without working, and
declare that they will thus add to the
ter among the European working
classes.
The figures given by the French Ia
Dor bureau as to the returning emf
grants are corroborated by Nicholas
Martin. agent of the American line,
who says that all the steerage capacity
of every vessel has been taken until
Feb. /, while thousands more will be
unable TO return to Europe before
spring. If this keeps up, a Paris CORE
spOtdent says, some special measures
must be taken to repatriate the h0rdeS
of disappointed Adventures, for the
ordinary means are insufficient.
ITO my knowledge several hundred
Of more or less destitute aliens are wan
dering in the streets of Paris on the
verge of starvation, and the prefecture
police books will probably multiply this
figure by three" said one Of the officials
at the ministry of works to the CORE
spOndent. The best we can do Is to
expedite their return to their native
countries. Something like half of them
have no more money than is barely
sufficient TO pay their fare"
Turn OF Immigration Tide.
Never since the first ship sailed out
of New York harbOr has there been any
thing like the present exodus of emf
grants from that port. Day by day the
crowds clamOring for transportation
abroad grow greater, with no prospect
of their reduction in numbers. Last
week 10000 steerage passengers were
carried from New York; this week
steamship men say the total will reach
$4,000. The steerage rate was raised
from S21 TO S31 in hope of staying the
exodus. but without avail.

INDIANS TO FIGHT INDIANS.
Mexico Pits Yaquis Against Mayas,
Decreasing Both Tribes.

The Mexican war department, by di-
experiment of using the Yaqui Indians
TO fight the Mayas. The uprising of
the Maya Indians against federal au-
thority began several months ago, and
it has spread until practically all the
members of that tribe are now in arm
ed rebellion. The Yaqui Indians, like
the Mayas, are waging bloody con-
flict against the government troops,
and upon the peaceful settlers of their
territory in the State of Sonora The
government has been trying for several
years to put down the Yaqui rebellion.
1t has succeeded in largely decreasing
the force of Indians by capturing hum
dreds of them and deporting them to
the Quintana Roo territory, in what
was formerly Yucatan. The Maya In
dams formerly occupied all of what is
now called Quintana Roo. They were
brought under temporary subsection
tory was created by the government
and was opened up for settlement. The
Mayas soon went ON the war path
again, and there has been no settle
ment of the territory that was former
~ occupied by them. The government
soldiers have had all that they could
do to keep the territory from being re-
taken by the Mayas.
The Maya Indians have been making
such an incessant warfare upon the
federal troops that were sent against
them during the last few months that
the order was given to augment the
forces of the Mexicans by organizing
the Yaquis who had been deported to
Quintana Roo into military companies.
1t was believed that this experiment
of pitting the Yaquis against the Mayas
would prove successful from the fact
that the few peaceable Mayas who had
come into contact with the Yaquis
seemed to show n natural hatred for
that race of Indians.

CONSUMPTION IN ARMY
Or MORE PAY TO MEN
Enforced Service Faces American
People, Declares Adjutant
General Ainsworth.

Unless radical measures are enacted
to induce men to enlist in the United
States army, cOnscription must be re-
sorted to. declares Major General K. G.
Ainsworth, adjutant general, in his an
nual report.
Notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts on the part OF the War Depart
ment and the recruiting officers" says
General AinSworth, 1T has been found
impossible wholly to make good the
losses, to say nothing of increasing the
enlisted strength TO the authorized linn
il. If present conditions continue there
will be nothing for the government to
do but meet this competition by mate
rally increasing the soldiers pay or
to evade competition altogether by a
resort to CONSUMPTION"
Never before has such suggestion
come from an officer clothed with the
authority TO make recommendations.
The idea of compulsory enrolment of
individuals for the military service has
been held abhorrent to republican prin-
cipleS and the absence of such law
is one of the most forceful arguments
used in attracting desirable immigra.
ton from Europe.
Officials of the War Department an
ticipate that the possible necessity for
such action outlined by General Aims
worth will prove efficacious in securing
consideration by Congress of the in
crease Of pay bill. 1t is with the great
est reluctance that army officers enter
tain the thought of CONSUMPTION, but
generally they agree with General
Ainsworth that it either must come to
that extremity or more money must
be provided for the soldier if the stand
ing of the army is to be maintained.

THE NEW CHINATOWN.
Oriental Quarter Arises on the Old
Site in San Francisco.

San Franciscos new Chinatown
which has arisen on the ruins of the
old is ready for occupancy and is rap
idly filling up with merchants and
tradesmen who were scattered to the
four winds by the terrible earthquake
and fire of a year and half ago. All
movements looking toward the trans
fer of the Chinese to a less desirable
part of the city failed utterly, and the
new Chinatown has risen on the site of
the old, under the shadow of Mob Hill
and touching shoulders with the finans
cial district. In the first flush of hope
after the catastrophe several plans
were evolved for moving Chinatown out
toward Telegraph Hill or TO some suit
able part of the Mission district. The
site of old Chinatown was needed for
the expansion of the financial district.
One thing stood in the way of this part
of the "city beautiful" dream. Chi
nese firms and wealthy Mongolian indi-
viduals owned much of the property in
Chinatown. They were satisfied with
the site of their quarter. 1t was near
the big hotels patronized by eastern
tourists. and it was not too far from
the water front whence their goods
came. The Chinese refused to sell and
straightway set about rebuilding.
There is n reason why Chinatown
was rebuilt before the other parts of
the buried area, even before Market
street had been repaved. The Chinese
property owners had no trouble in get
ting ready cash. They did not try to
borrow from San Francisco banks or
even from New York money lenders.
The first steamer to China carried long
letters describing the situation. In
closed were drafts on the treasurer of
the company which backed the San
Francisco firms. The return steamer
brought the gold that was needed and
the Chinese could tell their contractors
to go ahead.
The building, department and the
health authorities insisted that the new
Chinatown be built according to law
and the new Chinatown has, of course
lost such picturesqueness as was found
in the dirt and the squalor and the
tumbledown effect of the old buildings
To Offset this. however, there will he a
heavy gain in healthfulness.

out any apparent degradation in their

al bodies may develop that would make
them fatal il taken into the human stom-
ach. The meat, poultry, game and other
articles that have been in DIR. Wiley's Ice
house for the last two years will not
therefore be fed to the poison squad.
When put in the refrigerator plant in
the first instance the tissues of the meat
were carefully measured end have since
been remeasured at frequent intervals.
Every change in texture has beeen care
fully noted from time to time. In the
final examination of the refrigerated foods
they will be tested by DR.. Wiley and his
assistants and their odor will serve as a
guide in determining whether or not they
are sound, nutritious and wholesome af-
doors in an ice cold atmosphere. In
taste and odor the refrigerator meat will
be compared with fresh beef. e. Then the
beef will be fed to the department dog,
who has waxed fat these many days on
foods generally regarded by the world
at large as hurtful to health.
While DIR. Wiley absolutely declined to
comment on the lessons taught by the
experiments about to be conducted, there
is reason to believe that he will report
to Congress that it is in all probability
unsafe and doubtless dangerous for one
to eat foods that are kept in cold storage
for periods exceeding three months. This
applies particularly to meat, game asd
poultry. What DIR. Wiley himself thinks
of eggs that have been on ice from sum
mer until late in the winter he refused
to say. When the subject was mention
ed he merely held his nose.
