for steadiness In raw cotton prices, while in manufactured goods all the old strength Is maintained in print cloths alid some other makes of cotton goods have been slightly advanced. Returns as to 1898 trade in most lines have been favorable and the opening of spring trade is awaited with more than usual confidence, this feeling being particularly marked in the lines above enumerated and in lumber and agricultural implements. Hank c’eartngs for the week reflect exceptionally heavy annual settlements in a total of $1,765,900,000, or nearly s4o,o<)oj>ot) larger than ever before reported. 25 per cent, largir than last week. 24 per cent, larger than in this week a year ago, 51 per cent, larger than in IW, 70 per cent, larger than In 1895 and 75 per cent, larger than in 1894. Business failures are exceptionally small for the opening week of the new year, numbering only 237, against 218 last week. 333 In this week a year ago, 488 in 1897 , 446 in i • • and 405 In 1893. The steadiness of wheat this week, participated in by other cereals, finds explanation in contimad foreign buying, the strength of the statistical position, the norma! time for decreases in American stocks having arrived, with supplies stiil smaller than at any corresponding date for ten years past, aided by less favorable advices from Argentina, whence minimum estimates are again arriving. The world’s stock of wheat on Jan. 1. as shown by telegraph anil cable advices to Bradstreet's, gained only 9,700.000 bushels over Dec. l. against a gain, of 25,000.000 bushels in November, and Fhrropean and American stocks combined on Jan. 1. 1899. aggregated only 118,949.000 bushels, 13.e00.in i bushels smaller than on Jan. 1 last year. 37.t>v.t>.r bushels smaller than on Jan. I. 1897. 75,000,000 bushels smaller than on Jan. J. In *5. 16.009,00 u bushels smaller than on Jan. 1. 1883 and 93,000,000 bushels smaller than >n Jan. 1, 1*94. when the maximum of stocks in recent years was reached. Stocks in the I'nited States east of the Rockies are the lightest held for eight years past, and, with •he exception of 1891, are the smallest held for fifteen years past. Th<> December total of bank clearings proved a fitting conclusion to a year of unpreeedented expansion in many lint's in an aggregate for seventy-seven cities of $7,435,."•11,222, a gain of 13.7 per cent, over November’s hitherto unapproached total, of 23.5 per cent, over December, 1897, of 56.5 per cent, over December, Pw;, of 71.2 per cent, over the same month of 1894 and or 22.7 per cent, over the same period of 1892. This latter gain, too, was shown in spite of the fact that the stock clearing house at New York city is estimated to have reduced the volume of yearly clearings at that city by sx,ooo,<#)(>.Xu. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the Week aggregate 6,869.268 bushels, against 6,292,625 bushels last week, 3.4.81.576 bushels in the eorr**sponding week of 1898, 3.105,68S bushels In 1897, 3,471.681 bushels in 1896 and 2.587,178 bushels in 1895. Since July 1 this .'ear the exports of wheat aggregate 12k”.88,977 bushels, against 132,443,284 bushels last year. Corn exports for the week aggregate 4.844,288 bushels, against 3,659,745 bushels last week. 3,455,416 bushels in this week a year ago, 4.819,261 bushels in 1897, 2.626,423 bushels in 1*96 and 1.067,406 bushels In 1895. Since July 1 this year corn exports aggregate 85.7**3,927 bushels, against 83,802,736 bushels during the same period a year ago. STORMED "WITH ORDERS. Iron nml Steel Manufacturer* Rapidly Advancing Prices of Products. CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—lron and Steel to-mor-row will say: For the opening week of the new year there is an activity in iron and ste*d which Is almost phenomenal. Two facts of Importance exist. One is an advance of from 50 cents to $4 per ton on many kind® of Iron and steel product. The other is a scarcity in many lines so marked that grave doubt exists whether manufacturers can fill probable demands. The mills have been stormed with orders. Not in years has there been a week in which there has been an advance so sharp and general as in the present one. Beams and channels are up $2 per ton; tecs, angles and plates, $1 per ton. Standard steel rails have advanced from $1 to $3 per ton, and light rails $4 per ton. Individual hoop and bandmakers are quoting prices 5) cents higher. Ferro manganese lias advanced $2.50 per ton. Mills are generilly quoting bars about $1 to $2 ier ton higher. It is Impossible to obtain heavy plates at any price for deliveries within several months. Tin hits advanced a cent a pound. Copper and lead are both fractionally stronger than a week ago. This list is Incomplete, but it is longer than any past period of similar lengths can show’ for years.

DIVERSE VIEWS. (Cone!titled from First Pagr.l •ntFeVt -rywhere until a day is reftched when the love of money will no longer sear the national conscience and hypocrisy no longer hide the hideous features of avarice behind the mask of philanthropy.” While Colonel Bryan was received with most enthusiastic demonstrations there was a scene of pandemonium when he closed, shortly before 1 o’clock. The men jumped on their chairs and some on to the tables ,Ai<vl kept up the loud cheering and waving of linen for a long time. Coionel Bryan's closing climax was on the trusts as the beneficiaries or expansion. Tile favored Class, he said, would get al'. that came back and the taxpayers and common people would pay for the armies and the colonial government. Among the others responding to toasts were General E. B. Finley, Otway J. Cosgrove, Judge J. P. Tarvin and Congressmen Lau and xwetn.

SALISBURY TO THE CZAR — BRITAIN WILL TAKE PART IX THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE. C’urzon Installed as Viceroy of India —Foundation Stone of Gordon College Laid at Khartum. LONDON, Jan. 6. The reply of Lord Salisbury to the proposal of Emperor Nicholas for a disarmament conference of the powers, which is just published, promises the cordial co-operation of the British government and asks for an indication of the heads of the discussion at the conference. In the course of the document which was transmitted through the Right Hon. Sir Charles Stewart Scott, British ambassador at St. Petersburg, Lord Salisbury assures the Czar of the government’s cordial sympathy. He goes on to say: “This sympathy is not confined to the government, but is equally shared by popular opinion, which has been strikingly manifested by the numerous resolutions adopted by public meetings and societies. There are, indeed, few’ nations, if any, which, both on grounds of feeling and interest, are more concerned in the maintenance of general peace than Great Britain. The statements which constitute the grounds of the Emperor's proposal are but too well justified. It is unfortunately true that, while a desire for the maintenance of peace is generally professed, and while, in fact, serious and successful efforts on more than one recent occasion have been made with that object by the great powers, there has been a constant tendency on the part of almost every nation to increase its armed force and add to the already vast expenditure on the appliances of war. “The perfection of the instruments thus brought into use, their extreme costliness and the horrible carnage and destruction which would ensue from their employment on a large scale have acted no doubt as a serious deterrent from war, but the burdens imposed by this process on the populations affected must, if prolonged, produce a feeling of unrest and discontent, menacing to both internal and external tranquillity. Her Majesty’s government will gladly co-opera to with the proposed effort to provide a remedy for the evil, and if in any degree it succeeds they feel that the sovereign to whose suggestion it is due will have richly earned the gratitude of the world at large.” Lord Salisbury then promises that a delegate and representative will take part in the proihjsed conference whenever the invitation is received, and expresses the hope that the invitation may be accompanied by some indication of the special points to which the attention of the conference is to be directed as a guide in the selection of the British representative and his assistants. SRW VICEROY OF INDIA. Lord Curzon of Kedleston Installed in Hl* \eiv Office. *'A UT’TTA, Jan. s.—Lord Curzon of Kedleston was installed as viceroy of India to-day.

General Sir William I-ockhart. the commander-in-chief of the British forces in India, then formed Lord Curzon’s procession and the whole party proceeded to tho Council room, where the impressive royal warrant appointing Baron Curzon of Kedleston viceroy of India was read. The ceremony, though formal, w r ns most striking. the brilliant uniforms of the officials and the foreign consuls lending much color to the scene. I-ady Curzon was among those present. A royal salute was fired and the national anthem was played. Directly after the w r arrant had been read the Earl of Elgin and Lady Elgin and their immediate party left Government House. Lord Curzon accompanied the Earl of Elgin to the river side and then returned to Government House, escorted by a full bodyguard of the Calcutta Light Horse. The route was lined by troops, and another royal salute was fired and a squadron of vessels in the Hooghly displayed all their bunting. The Earl of Elgin embarked on board a launch which took him to the steamer Clive, at Diamond harbor, on his way to England.

He Say* Hie Dreyfus Affair Is a Legitimate Racial War. LONDON, Jan. 7.—The Daily News publishes, this morning, an interview, which a special correspondent In Holland has had with Major Comte Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, author of the Dreyfus bordereau. The correspondent says: ”1 found him in a small, typical Dutch hotel. His face betrayed the ravages of the anxiety of recent months and he is terribly lonely. He told mo he hud hardly spoken to any one since he left England. He declined to say anything about the inquiry now in progress before the Court of ("assation. but did indulge in a violent anti-Jewish tirade. Esterhazy declared that the Dreyfus affair is a bitter racial war, legitimate and natural, a defense against the most terrible invasion which ever menaced Europe, observing that, unhappily, the defenders were not agreed among themselves. He complained that, while he was left in the most absolute tranquillity during his stay in England, he had been continually threatened and insulted in Holland.” DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION. Eight Men Killed and Forty Persons Injured, Some Fatally. LONDON, Jan. 6.—A big boiler, while being tested in Hewitt’s ship building yard, at Barking, burst to-day and the superintending engineer and eight men were killed.

A lad was found dead three hundred yards from the scene of the disaster. A number of men and boys are missing. The windows in houses a half mile away were shattered. The terrific force of the explosion may be judged from the fact that one of the huge plates of the boiler plunged through a building a quarter of a mile distant and that debris was hurled hundreds of yards in all directions. The factory itself, which covered several acres, was practically razed and all the dwellings and shops in its immediate vicinity were to all intents and purposes wrecked. Windows were shattered a mile away and telegraph and telephone wires were blown down on all sides. Distressing scenes were witnessed among the mothers, wives and other relatives of the employes. Outrage on a German Priest. BERLIN, Jan. 6.—Letters received here to-day from Kiao-Chou, the German fortified settlement in the province of ShanTung, China, give details of an outrage upon Father Stenz, the German Catholic missionary, on Nov. 9 last.

Finally a mandat in interfered in his behalf, but compelled him to leave the district with a promise never to return. The Lippe-Detmold Dispute. BERLIN, Jan. 6.—The decision of the Bundesrath that it is competent to deal with the Lippe-Detmold succession dispute, is based on the professional opinion of Prof. Kekule von Stradonitz, which differs from the majority. The whole matter will form the subject of a resolution in the Reichstag, and the Freissinnige party will force the government to define how far the Bundeslath or Federal Council may interfere with the sovereign rights of each state of the German empire. The Prince Mny Speak Later. LONDON, Jan. 7.—The Brussels correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, w’ho has secured an interview with Prince Victor Napoleon, says the prince firmly declined to discuss politics or the Dreyfus affair, remarking: 'When the time comes for me to speak I shall do so in the only way befitting a prince and the chief of a great party. 1 shall say what is necessary and sign my words with the glorious name I am proud to bear—Napoleon.” Tlie I nited Slates Protests.

HIS CONDITION SERIOUS LITTLE HOPE FOR THE RECOVERY OF NELSON DINGLEY. ♦- Marked Change for Che Morse Last Night-—Delirious Most of Che Day —Mr. Foster Improving. ♦ WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The condition of Representative Nelson Dinglev, of Maine, w’ho has been ill with pneumonia for almost a week, has undergone a marked change for the worse, and at 2 o’clock this morning his physicians hold out but little, if any. hope for recovery. Although the lung has improved considerably and the cough lessoned, the effect qf the pneumonia has so weakened the system as to decrease the vitality to an alarming extent. The poison from the sickness has permeated the whole system, which renders it less potent to stand the terrible strain. Much of yesterday the patient was delirious and appeared to be uttering extracts from speeches he had made on the tariff question in the House of Representatives. He was conscious only when aroused. The physicians say there must be a radical change one way or another very soon. The condition of ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, Hon. Wayne McVeagh and Representative Hull continues to improve.

(Concluded from First Page.) indiscriminately, classes excluded from our army beef by contract. They also slaughtered superannuated draft cattle, wnose flanks and quarters were invariably full of small sacs and cysts. He knew of no chemically prepared meat issued to the army, and he warmly commended all the American beef given our troops in Porto Rico. Colonel Sharp thought the loss of the spoiled beef which has been in question fell to the contractors and not to the government. Colonel Sharp said that his order of preference for beef would be refrigerator beef first, canned second and beef on the hoof third. Commissary General Eagan, of the army, to-day gave out two letters regarding “embalmed beef.” which has figured in a sensational manner before the war investigating committee. One of them is from Alexander B. Powell, of 99 Barclay street, New York, who proposed to “process all their fresh meats in the cars at Tampa or any other place where the cars could reach” preparatory to their shipment to Cuba at hal cent a pound. In a reply to this letter Mr. Powell was informed that "this department is not engaging any one with methods to cure meats. If it purchases meat it will be. from someone who will furnish meat and guarantee its good condition on arrival and ‘for seventy-tw’o hours thereafter, or who w ill slaughter and deliver as required whereever tlie troops may he." To Help tlnr Trade in China. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Consul General Good now, of Shanghai, writes to a correspondent in New York strongly recommending an American-Ohlnofte exposition in Shanghai. He says that practically all foreign trade for the middle and north of China goes through Shanghai, and an exposition there will reach the trade of the Yangtse valley and the north. He says that the customs reports show that Die imports from the United States have increased at the expense of imports from other nations. American inventions, such as bicycles, phonographs and cameras, are being rapidly introduced in many localities, but it is first necessary to exhibit samples, as such goods cannot be sold upon description. Consul Goodnow urges strongly that this is the time, for American manufacturers in eyery line to put their own men en tlie ground and acquaint themselves thoroughly with Oriental trade conditions, for the East promises a vast and easily obtainable market now which soon will be usurped by otiier nations if we do not push our natural advantages there at the present time. Internal Revenue Haling*. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Assistant Attorney General Boyd has rendered ail opinion, which has been approved by the attorney general, in which he holds that the tax provided for in Section 29 of the war revenue act should be levied upon such portion of a deceased person's estate as constitutes legacies or remains to be paid out to distributors and not upon the gross amount which shall come into the hands of the administrator or executor. The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that where the admission fee charged for a skating rink merely entitles persons paying to tho privilege of skating, the special tax is not required to be paid therefor. But where it entitles them to witness an exhibition of skating, it is a public exhibition or show for money, for w’hieh a special tax is required.

Complex Muritiil Relations I nruveled by tlie Supreme Court. Fort Scott Special to St. lands GlobeDemocrat. John Judd, an eight-year-old boy. born out of wedlock on a tarm near this city, has just been awarded by the Supreme Court a half interest in the estate of a wealthy farmer named William Judd, who committed suicide before the boy was born and on the day he was to have been married to the child’s mother. The case has been on trial since the boy was an infant, and has been attended with tragical and perplexing incidents. The Judd estate consists of rich farm lands and personal property proceeds, and is valued at many thousands of dollars. The other half goes to a divorced wife of the deceased, not as his wife, but as the heir of her daughter, who. when a child and supposed to be sole heir to the estate, suffered a violent death which aroused public suspicion. Judd's first wife obtained a divorce and big alimony from him shortly after the birth of their only child. Jannie'Judd. Several years later, while Sadie Kunkle and her brother were living on the farm with him, he w’as one morning found dead in a smokehouse. A shotgun lying close bv indicated suicide. A few’ months afterward a child was born to Sadie Runkle, who had never been married. Judd left his entire estate to his daughter Jennie by will. Her mother married a second time, and as the estate was abort to be administered the girl died very suddenly. Public sentiment demanded an autopsy, there having been symptoms of poison. It was decided that she died from having eaten sheep sorrel while at school. Then Sadie Runkle laid claim to the estate for herself and child on the ground that she had been married to Judd by common law’ for ten weeks before his death, and that he was the father of her child. She averred that she and Judd were to have been legally married on the day of his death. She won the suit in the lower court, but the Supreme Court reversed the Judgment on the ground that she. upon whose testimony the petition was largely founded, was an incompetent witness. The suit was then brought in the name of the son. she being compelled to renounce all her claim in the estate in order to become a competent witness. The lower court found for the Infant boy on the ground that he was Judd’s son. and the proi>erty was ordered divided equally latween him and the estate of the daughter by the first wife. The divorced wife, being the only heir of her child, claimed the entire estate. The case was again taken to the Supreme Court, and in a mandate filed to-day that court recognizes the right of the illegitimate son to half the estate. The court’s opinion gives some interesting law on common law marriages. •hide Officer Will Not Pay War Tax. DBS MOINES, la..

LONDON, Jan. 7.—The Madrid correspondent of the Standard says: "In accordance with the usual custom on Twelfth day. the Queen Regent and King Alfonso held to-day (Friday) an exclusively military levee, which was attended by all the marshals. except Martinez de Campos, who is indisposed. More than a thousand officers passed before their Majesties, the most observed in the throneroom being General Weyler and General Folavieja. There were also many prominent commanders from the colonies. A crowd of sight-seers outside the palace gazed silently on the brilliant throng. “At the general meeting of the Conservatives to-morrow (Saturday) night Senor Silvela and General Polavieja will publicly announce their acceptance of a common programme. and General Polavieja will recognize Silvela's leadership,. with the full assent of Marshal De Campos, Marshal Primo de Rivera, General Azcorraga. Senor Pidnl and the Marquis Villavorde. The coalition excludes only two small and uninfiuential dissident groups, led by the Duke of Tetuan and Senor Romero y Robledo. It will undoubtedly be able to form a powerful adminstration. The Weyler party displays the most annoyance at the coalition. The Bagasta party pretends to regard it lightly. The outcome of the crisis is awaited with the greatest interest.” Another dispatch from Madrid says: “General Rios, the Spanish commander, telegraphs from Manila that the strained relations between the Americans and insurgents prevents steps being taken in favor of the- release of the Spanish prisoners in the Philippine islands, lie adds that he will act in that direction as soon as it is possible. "Col. Julison San Martin, who was in command of the Spanish garrison at Ponce. Porto Rico, when the United States troops under General Miles landed in the island, and who abandoned the place without resistance. has been sentenced to imprisonment for life. He will be incarcerated at Ceuta, the Spanish penal colony in Morocco, opposite Gibraltar.” BIG DEAL PERFECTED. Leiter Syndicate Secures tlie Rhode island Locomotive Works. PROVIDENCE, R. 1..

A Slav's Admiration for a Noble Foe —Fraternizing with Prisoners. In the course of an article which the London Daily Telegraph published recently, on the charge of the Twenty-first lancers. is given an interesting glimpse of what the Russians thought of Balaklava. "So you were at the battle of Balaklava,” the writer asked a Russian officer. "Yes.” “What did you think of the charge of the English cavairy?” “It was brilliant, splendid. Os course, it was all a mistake, but that was not their fault. It w’as a wonderful sight. I shall never forget it. I can see them now. that handful of men—not quite as many as one of our regiments. But we were all exhausted. We had been in the saddle ail day, and all the day before, and we were drawn up, but did not expect an attack. Presently we heard the bugle and the colonel rode along and told us that the English were coming at us. We could see men coming along, riding as though they were going to a picnic, waving their lances and swords in the air and shouting like raving maniacs. We could not make it out. They were such tine fellows, too, it seemed such a pity to have to kill them. I felt awfully sorry for them. There they were, riding into certain death. Such splendid horses and rich accoutrements! Everything English and of the best! Such saddles! Such harness! You never saw anything like it. And they did not seem to have a bit of fear in them. They seemed to enjoy the fun! They were gallant fellows! ”Our men took a great fancy to them. We took some prisoners, you know, and it was very funny to see them, they were such generous chaps! Os course they cornel not speak a word of Russian: all they could do was to hand our fellow’s their brandy flasks. They had splendid English brandy: but. you know, that is no good to our men. It was like milk to them. I remember seeing our fellows drink the English brandy with an air of curiosity, and the disappointment on their faces. They handed back the flasks with looks of contempt. and then presented the Englishmen with their vodka. You should have seen the grimaces your countrymen made when they swallowed that stuff. Our regulation vodka was simply fire-water; awful! The Englishmen did ne>t like it; it was too strong for them. It made some of them drunk. Ha! ha! ha! What a funny thing! Here were our fellows drinking and fraternizing with the English, and a few minutes before they were at each other's throats. But those English were such splendid chaps we could not heio admiring them. I assure you, 1 wept when I saw those fellows, the (lower of your cavalry, lying dead on the ground. They were so handsome and noble. It seemed a pity that they should have been kilhd so stupidly. We liked the English. We always got on with them. They were all nice fellows, and gentlemen. Very different from the French. We did not like them at all. They were vicious, vindictive demons: but your men were so jony and so beautifully clean. We got very fond of them. Ah! dear me, that was many years ago!” Illg Estate Ready for Distribution. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The decree of distribution in the estate of Leland Stanford was filed in Probate Court to-day.

WALES’ PHYSICIAN ON CONSUMPTION Sir William Brnadbent Says Consump* tioa Is Contagious and Curable —Not Necessarily Hereditary. AGREES WITH SLOCUM METHODS At a Meeting in London the Prince of Wales’ Physician Fully Confirms Dr. Slocum’s Teachings on Tnis Disease. T/ONDON, Jan. 6.—A meeting of the National Society for the Prevention of Consumption and other forms of tubercular diseases held at Marlborough House, Dec. 20, was presided over by the Prince of Wales, and addressed by Lord Salisbury and Sir William Broadbent, physician to the Prim© ol' Wales. Dr. Broadbent adheres to the view that consumption is not necessarily hereditary, but a contagious disease, and is therefore curable by a treatment which will destroy the germs and build up the system. He thus agrees with Dr. Slocum In every particular and his address is a practical indorsement of the system of treatment followed out so successfully by this wellknown Anglo-American practitioner. Dr. Slocum Lit sure, when he first announced hi? theory, based on scientific experiments and practice, that consumption is a. germ disease and not necessarily it hereditary taint, that the whole medical world would in time acknowledge that ha was right. In Sir William Broadbent Dr. Slocum has an ally who will lie of great assistance in teaching the people the real nature of consumption, its prevention and its cure. The first thing necessary, as these two grtat physicians show, is the killing of th® germs of the disease—and then the strengthening and building up of the system. This is just the theory upon which the Dr. Slocum New Treatment tor Consumption, Lung Weakness, and the Grip, is based. The germs of consumption, grip, etc., enter the body through me nose anti mouth in breathing, and pass down the respiratory canal to the lungs. Dr. Slocum’s medicines disinfect the system from the nostrils to the deepest passages of the lungs, both by contact with the mucous membrane and through the blood, thus killing the germs. His medicine's also furnish food with which to build up the wasted tissues, and fortify the system against renewed attacks of the terrible microbes. It was announced at this meeting in London, referred to above, that Wernher ifc Beit, the South African financiers and diamond mine owners, had given SIOO,OOO for the erection of a Sanitarium for Consumption. The thousands of Americans who are using this famous system, and the thousands who have been cured by it, will be Interested in the fact that the scientific principles, embodied in the Doctor Slocum New System of Treatment, have been so highly indorsed by Sir William Broadbent. the eminent physician to the royal family. Dr. Slocum’s offer to send free medicine to sufferers from these dreadful germ diseases has at last borne fruit, and others are beginning to join with him in the work of ridding the world of its greatest and most dangerous scourge. He will still continue the distribution of the three free bottles comprising the complete course of his new system of treatment so universally known as a positive cure for all diseases of throat and lungs. Every reader of the Journal who has consumption, grip, w’eak lungs, catarrh, or any form oC lung or throat or bronchial weakness, or any wasting chronic complaint, who sends name and full address to or calls at The Doctor Slocum American Laboratories. 96 and 98 Fine street. New York city, stat-' ing that he read this article in the Indianapolis Journal, will receive these three free bottles with full instructions for self-treat-ment and free advice adapted to any case.

Stanford was call' and on to deposit a special bond of SIIO,OOO as a guarantee for a proper distribution. After small donations to nieces and nephews and other relatives, the residue goes to Mrs. Stanford. The property Includes $322,327 cash in bank. All will now be distributed. DAVIS UNEASY. (t’oni'lDded front Kirnt l'njtr.) ing that the American troops should communicate in writing to him before disembarking at the places intended to be occupied in order to prevent trouble. Replying to a letter from Consul Wildman. holding out to him the advantages of annexation to the United States, Aguinaldo writes on Aug. I that it is an alluring picture, but that he doubts if he can bring his people to see its beauty. He asks for the recognition of the Philippine government in order to join with it in annexation, and suggests that the American forces should co-operate with those of the Philippine government. On Aug. 27 he wrote to General Merritt urging that the Philippines should have a share in governing Manila and reminding the American general of the share of his people in its subjugation. The volume also contains a letter from Gen. Sir Andrew Clark, w r ho Is referred h in a note of transmission by Hon. John Hay, then ambassador to Great Britain, “as one of the greatest living authorities in England on all subjects connected with the government of the Islands of the Malay archipelago.” Referring to his own successful action in 1874 for the pacification of the Malay peninsula, he says: “I believe th task of pacifying the Filipinos would be no more difficult and perhaps easier than that which 1 accomplished in the Malay peninsula. No doubt the presence of another great military force will be at first desirable at one or two important centers, but I attach more importance to the ample naval provisions, more especially of gunboats able to move freely among the islands and to ascend the rivers.” liOMses by Fit **.
