Cotton mills in the Philippine Is
lands are going to be forced to sus-
pend operations. The reason is as
signed to the fact that the price of
cotton has reached a figure in New
York and London which makes its
importation to the Far East imprac-
ticable. Somebody, though. is likely
to bob up with the announcement this
condition of affairs has developed be-
cause of misrule on the part of the
United States. That would be quite
as sensible as many of the alleged
anti-imperialistic arguments.

A SIGN OF ACTIVITY.

It is not often that the homely ii 1
can figures much in public calculations,
although the American habit Of using
preserved foods has made the can a
very familiar article to everybody
Nevertheless, the steel trust has found
1t expedient to increase the steel plate
50 per ton. and its managers explain the
increase as being made necessary by
the enormous demand for tin cans on
the Pacific coast in the fish and fruit
canning industries
The uninitiated might not unnatural
" marvel at there being any connec-
ton between tin cans and the price CT
steel plates, yet as a matter of fact
steel plates enter much more largely
into the composition of the tin can than
does tin itself. In fact, a can has verJ
little tin in it's composition, that metal
being used merely to give an outer and
thin coating to the flexible steel plates
which form the principal structure Of
the can. The fact, however, that there is
such an enormous demand for tin cans
shows that business is expanding stead
lily and that the wants OF the people are
increasing.-New Orleans Picayune.

HUNGARY's HISTORIC PARALLEL

HUNGARY'S HISTORIC PARALLEL
It seems that if the whirligig of
time had whirled backward 60 years
to read of a Hungarian crisis of which
the chief personages are Francis
Joseph and Kossuth. Francis Joseph
is the same with this difference, that
whereas in 1S49 he was a lad of 10,
he is now tired but brave old man
of 10. striving hard to keep two un-
ruly horses abreast. The Kossuth is
different. being Francis. the son of
the great Kossuth. Francis Kossuth,
who until recently has been Hun
garian minister of industry and COM
merce, is 68. He seems to have in
herited his fathers antfpathy to the
House of Hapsburg SO far as to well
come a controversy with Francis
Joseph and has been long identified
with the independence party. The
thread of similarity to his fathers
political course Is seen in Francis
Kossuth's insistence that the word of
command shall be given in the Hun
army shall be under. not the imperial,
,, but the Hungarian flag. Critics of
his father have held that the latter's
insistence on the domination of Hun
gary by the Magyars was his fatal
political mistake that undid all the
good his eloquence and energy ac
com plished. Austria was thereby en-
abled to turn the jealousy of the other
races in Hungary to Austrian ad-
vantage The Magyars today are less
than half the people of Hungary, yet
they dominate. and to preserve their
ascendancy by legislation is their pro-
gram. Francis Joseph is said to have
been willing to yield. but his heir pre-
sumptive is reported as protesting
that Hungarian flag, a Hungarian
army and a Hungarian bank spell the

An Obscure Benefactor.

Many men receive extended obitu-
airy notice who deserve 1t far less than
did modest and unpretentious Meth
odist minister who died in England a
flew days ago. The name of William
Henry Da1linger has not been greatly
trumpeted about, but it was borne by
man who is entitled to be ranked
among those scientists of the past
generation who contributed materially
and much toward the ascertainment
of truth. and especially of that truth
which is of greatest fascination and
importance, the origin and nature of
life.
Dallinger became specially inter-
ested in this subject about 40 years
ago. when the old controversy over
spontaneous generation was revived,
with Bastian and Tyndall as opposing
protagonists, taking the places which
Pouchet and Pasteur had respectively
filled a few years before. While he
stood in the background his researches
and observations were of inestima BILE
advantage to Tyndall and, indeed, to
all scientists. both in the direct re-
suit of his laboratory work and also
in the great impetus which he gave
to the improvement of microscopic
lenses. His painstaking investigations
which extended through many years,
confirmed in the most convincing
manner the conclusions of Pasteur
and Tyndall, that spontaneous genera
ton was a myth. and that all life
must come from preexisting life.
1t was Pasteur's demonstration of
that fact which inspired and enabled
Lister to establish antiseptic surgery

Gall. and equally by Dallinger, has

bonds with the money raised for

Rankin says pay them off and
close the deal as far as they are
concerned, as the city already has
them. The city attorneys have
rendered an opinion that this will
be possible and legal.
If 1t is done it will decrease the
bonded debt of the city just that

sinking fund just that much. Fur
Their, it will eliminate the source

the council will then be compelled

THIEF MAKES
BOLD ATTEMPT
To GET AWAY
(By United Press Leased Wire.

SAN FRANCISCO, May g.
With a bullet wound in the back
of his neck, which the doctors say
today will prove fatal, Edward
Friel, teamster, eluded pursuers
who had discovered him burglar
izing store, long enough to rent
a room in which to hide his loot.
Weakened by the loss of blood
Friel fell in sem-conseious con-
dition on the bed, under which he
had placed the stolen property,
and within short time was found
and placed under arrest. He was
removed to the Central Emergency
hospital, where it is said today
there is little hope for his re-
|covery.
Joseph Oberweis discovered
Friel last night looting the store
of Stievock on Howard street. AS
the burglar emerged from the
store Oberweis commanded him to
halt and when the man fled he
fired. The bullet lodged in Friel's
neck, but, clutching his loot tight
err he ran down the street and
turned corner and entered a
lodging house where he engaged
a room.
