AMBASSADOR DAVID JAYNE HILL
 ON ETHICS OF TIE HISTORIAN
Address Delivered Yesterday Before the International Con- gress for Hstoria Science at Berin Germany
 What Is History Is One of Deepest Questions.

BERLIN, Aug. 6-Ambassador David Jane Hin today delivered an address before the International Congress for Historical Science.
 The ambassador. speaking on "The Ethical Function of the Historian, !" in part. said:
 The question. What is History fs closely connected with that deepest of all questions. What Is Human SLife2' For whatever in reality human life may be history is the record of its development, it's progress, and it's manifestations. The fundamental prob lem fer the historian is to determine the peculiar nature of his task and ..e is greeted at the very threshold of his inquiry with the question:
 What is the purpose for which his torical science exists?
 What is the nature of historic truth? How does history differ from other sciences? How does the historic process appear as seen from within. and what in consequence is the chief function of the historian?
 Without attempting to give defi- uite answer to all or any of these diff cult questions. of which the majority of my colleagues in this congress, from deeper knowledge and riper ex- peTienee, are much better qualified than ] ao express opinions, and with an acute sense of gly limited attain ments in this vast field of inquiry in which many Of nay eoantrynen have rendered themselves far more entitled to be heard. I shall. nevertheless, ven ture to touch upon some one function or the historian that seems to me from the nature of history as science to be worthy of our consideration
 There are two aspects of reality that have to be treated in quite diff ferent ways. It is 8 postulate of mod ern science that there exists in the universe a fixed amount of energy. never increased or diminished, and all phenomena are believed to be manifestations of this primordial en- ergy Some of these phenomena 8p- pear in an order Of co-existence in space. others in an order of success sion in time; and il is with these transformations in time that histoi has to deal But there is another as- pect of phenomena not less important for history than transformation in time. The resemblances and differ ences of phenomena are both quanti- IlGS anu GuduN1tSs lb Is Nltu tHc tftl- ter chiefly that history has to deal; for, while the quantity of coexistenJ energy always remains the same, the qualitative differences among phe- nomena appear to be always incTeas- ing in variety and complexity in the order of succession
 If for illustration, We pass from physico-chemical to biological phenom ena. fn the progressive orilsr or nat ural evolution, We notice that, while the quantity of energy is supposed to remain the same, there is an iaereas- ing variation of qualitative diReren- ces. until in the ascending scale of or ganisms We arrive at man who. standing at the head of the biological series. possesses 2 greater diversity

$4,000 RATS ARE KILLED
YEARLY IN HONOLULU

Fail to Reveal Traces
of Plague
Especial Correspondence Of The Call

HONOLULU. Nov. ga report just
issued by DR.. Donald H. Currie of the
marine hospital service, who is in
charge of the service laboratory here,
shows that the employees of the service
are destroying rats at the rate Of $4,000
a year in Honolulu.
The archaeological examinations of
the rats have failed to show a single
plague infected rodent in Honolulu
since June, 1907, while none have been
found anywhere in the islands since De-
cember last
The cat breeding experiment insti-
tuted by DR.. Cofer, now of Wash
ington, is apparently working out well.
In hutches on Quarantine island are
about so cats, eight of stock selected
for strength, size and rafting ability.
The kittens, as soon as they are old
enough to eat meat. are being fed ex-
clusively on rat meat in order that they
may acquire the taste. When older
they have their rats. fed to them alive
and they must hunt down and catch
their dinners before eating 1t is ex-
pected that within two generations the
cats will be born ratters and when
turned loose will be valuable assist
ance in clearing the port of rats and

PLAN SWEEPING
POSTAL REVISION
Proposed Change of Laws Would
Abolish Offices of Four Assist
ant POstmasters General

WASHINGTON, Nov 30.-The four
offices of assistant postmaster general
will be abolished, a director of posts
with seven assistants provided for and
the. entire postal service of the United
States divided into is separate dis
tricts, if the bill for the revision of the
postal laws which is being prepared
by the joint postal investigation COM
mission, appointed two years ago, is
passed by congress.
1t is said that a director of posts
appointed to hold Office until removed
for cause, and who shall receive a high
salary, will tend to improve the SER
vice through a continuity of policies
for the benefit of the service
BY providing for seven assistants,
disadvantages due to frequent changes
and the appointment of inexperienced
men to the four offices of assistant
postmaster general can, it is believed,
be obviated. The assistant directors
are to also hold Office during good be-
havior.
To perfect the system of manage
ment, the provision for Is superin-
tendents, to have direct charge of the
10 separate postal districts, has been
decided on.
Another provision of the bill is the
assignment of certain duties now per-
formed by the third assistant post
master general TO a commission of an
peals. This commission would issue
all fraud orders and pass on the ad
mission to the mails of second class
matter. The codification of the postal
laws is also part of the work re-
qulred of the commission

JAPANESE EDITORS
HAVE BLOODY DUEL
Z. Otsuka of Daily News Is Fa-
tally Stabbed After He Slashes
Fresno Publisher

A bloody battle took place yesterday
afternoon between two editors of rival
japanese papers, and as a result one
of the men, 2. .Otsuka. editor of the
japanese Daily News of this city, lies
in the central emergency hospital,
fatally wounded, while one of his adj
yersaries, r. Takenuchi, editor of The
Labor a socialist paper of Fresno, oc-
cupies a cot in the same institution,
suffering from four stab wounds about
the head and body.
The scene of the combat was the
apartments of Otsuka, 1915 Laguna
street. Before the battle had ended
the room was covered with gore.
The trouble started so it is. said,
through an editoriai printed some
weeks ago in tlle columns of the Japan
ese Daily News, in which socialism
was denounced and the editor of the
Fresno paper spoken or rather harshly
for the views he entertained on the
subject. This article was answered by
one which appeared in The Labor sew
eral days later. From that time on
the two papers have been publishing
editorial recriminations almost every
day.
Yesterday morning, while Otsuka
was i'll in bed at his home, he was
told that two men wished to see him.
He sent word to them by his informant
that owing to his illness he would be
unable to see them for several days.
The men then left. but returned about
O'Clock in the afternoon and went
straight to the apartments of the sick
man. They knocked at the door, and
as it was opened by Otsuka they
stepped inside the room and immedi-
ately started an argument
Otsuka advised them to leave the
room, saying that he had nothing to
say and did not wish to engage in an
argument. At this the two men began
to attack him. He drew knife and
stabbed Takenuchi four times, twice in
the shoulder and twice in the head,
whereupon he was stabbed in the abb
domen by the companion of the editor
from the south, Y. Matsushita. All
three are being detained under guard.
