An Island discovered In the Antarctic
ocean by the Belgian expedition has l*crn
named after Mayor Van Wyck of New

perpetually covered with Ice. The discov

of the New York Ice trust.
Marshal Campos, whose death In Mad
rid waa reported In the dispatches of yes
terday. will be remembered as the gov
ernor general of Cuba previous to the ap
pointment of tho notorious Weyler to that
office. Campos was a man of gentle man
ners and kindness of h< art, and when he
failed to put down the Insurrection of the
Cubans. Weyler, a man of cruel and des
potic disposition, was sent to relieve him.
Prince Tovalou of Dahomey Is now one
of the sights of Parts. He Is over six
fort tall, and Is forty-three years old. It
Is not his stature that makes him of
Interest, however, but the fact tlmt he Is
the husband of 103 wlvoe. not counting the
twenty-three the! died. He Is the proud
father of 233 living children. Jnet how
many he hos been called upon to mourn
ho does not remember. Many of hks
children are married and have children
of their own. All told, and Including
daughlerr-ln-lnw. sons-ln-law and grand
children, I‘rlnce Tovalou's family consists
of 1.019 members.
This government Is pledged to the pro
le- tlon of foreigners In the Island of
Cuba. Oen. I'llxhugh I>ee. In an Interview,
points out thnt If the Cubans form an
entirely Independent government, ami the
United Slates withdraw their troops from
the Island It would be a rather difficult
thing for this government to afford pro
tection to the English, Oerman, French
and other foreigners In the Island Should
trouble arise and cltteens of France, for
Instance, suffer injury, the probabilities
are that falling to secure satisfaction from
the Cubans, France would send warships

and various kinds of cntnnllcntlons might
arise in which this country would likely

An Indiana farmer went to Chicago the

THE COTTON CHOI'.
The report* *Hit out by the New York
cot ton hmi.ii Indicate lhal there ts a
marked difference of opinion among cot
ton men of that city a* to the star of the
cotton crop. Many hint that the crop
will be above the average, while others
are equally as pocltlve that It will be
conclderably below tt. It ts certain that
before the drought of August nml the
Texas storm the Impression prevailed tn
cotton circles In New York tlatt the crop
would be as much as I.Utmost hales larger
than the crop of last ytar. There Is no
such Imptesslon now, though the large re
ceipts of this month have hail a tenden
cy to create doubt as to whether the in
jury to the crop has been aa great as re
ported.
ll Is difficult to see. however, how the
opinion can bo entertained that the crop
will be larger than that of last year The
large receipt* do not mean that the crop
Is a large one. The cotton farmer* are
rushing their cotton to market because
they are afraid that, for some reason or
other which thef do not undertake to ex
plain. the price of cotton will fall. They
aro getting more than they expected to
get when they planted—a great deal
more—anti, hence, they are satisfied to
take the price that Is now Itcing paid.
The report* from alt (tarts of this state
and from North Carolina and South Car
olina Indlcatv that Ihe crop is a small
one, and that If the weather remains good
the bulk of It will be ready for market hy
the middle of Octotier. In other state* the
government report ts anything but fa
vorable to a crop above the average. On
the contraty, the conclusion to he drawn
from It Is that the crop, taken as whole
will be as smalt n* that of last year.
It Is ttie understanding that in the ter
ritory tributary to this port the cotton ts
being murketid about us fast as ll is be
ing picked. It is probable that in other
sections of tho cotton lilt the same con
dition of affair* prevails. That being the
case the spinner* who are waiting to get
cotton below the pres nt price will prob
ably discover tint they have made a mis
take.
AAV AWN AH’* POPULATION.
The census shows gavannih'i popula

ent her commerce appears to be grow-
Ini; faster than her population. Her batik
clearings last week showed an Increase
of IS7 per cent, over the rorrespondinic
week of last year. Much of this Increase
was. of course, due lo the tcreuter value
of the products which form the bulk of
her commerce, but a largo part of It was

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY: SEPTEMBER 25. 1000.
lilt Y % A AMI MeMIYLBY A AMHI
THATtIM.
I Sunday's New York Herald contain* a
: suggestion that Mr. Bryan and Preaident
McKinley not as arbitrator* tn the an-
Ihrs ttecoal mines dispute The suggestion
1> cot likely to be adopted. Mr. Bryan s
time 1- fully occupied, and the Preaident
has nil he can do 10 keep Benaror Hanna,
the manager of his <*ampalgn. from
swamping Ihe parly with hi* anti-trust
talk and from being overreached by LI
Hung Chang In Chinese matters It
would take Mr Bryan and the President
to weeks lo hear Ihe complaints of Ihe
striking miners, and Ihe denials of the
mine operators, and lo become sufficiently
acquainted with the In* and out* of the
coal mining business to render u Judg
ment In tn online C with the facts. It
an he safely a-sumed that they will not
act as arbitrators.
It I- by no rin ins certain that either
side would be sailslled with the decision,
even If there should be an arbitration. It
la recalled that Michigan hae a court of
arbitration for the settlement of differ
ence* lietween employer* and employes.
Ex-Gov. l’lngree of that state, he of po
tato patch lame, recently hod occasion to
appeal to that court. He la the senior
member of ihe shoe firm of Plngree A
Hmlth Thl firm had trouble with It*
employe*, an.l Ihe settlement of II seem
ed 10 lie practically Imponalhle hy Ihe
usual met hist* Mr. Plngree carried hi#
rase to the rnurt of arbitration. The em
ploye* of hi* llrrn did not want to get
Into that court but Mr. Plngree Insisted
on dragging them there. The decision
was tn favor of Ihe employes. Thai
wasn't satisfactory to Mr. Plngree He
favored the court of arbitral loti, provided
tt decided In his favor. His firm naked
for a re-hearing, and ll* request was de
nied. Then the ttrm appeuled the case
to the Buprcffic Court of the slate
on the ground that the law creat
ing the court of arbitration was unconsti
tutional. The Bupreme Court held the
law constitutional, and also that there
was no ground for a re-hrarlng. since It
was the purpose of the law establishing
the court of ;tbr a ration to settle labor
disputes promptly.
Judging from the Michigan rase and Ihe
results of Ihe effort* to settle labor dis
putes elsewhere hy arbitration there Mi
some room for doubt If arbitration Is ns
great n remedy for strike evil* as It ts by
many held to he.
II tYV4' DENIAL.
Henalor llanna has found It necessary
to deny that he said In his rerent Chi
cago speech ilia; there was no such thins
as a trust In this counlry. He undertake#
to explain what he did say on that oc
casion. It Is a question whether he known
Just what he said. Dwlng to his vanity
be thinks he Is a great stump speaker.
A* a matter of fart, he I* not acruntom.il
to making speeches, and Is Just as likely
lo say what ho doe* not mean an lo say
what he does mean. If he did not deny the
existence of trusts In his Chicago speech
he must have sold something that led
bin audience lo think ll was his purpose
to do so. The reporters of Ihe different
papers seem to have agreed pretty well
as to thr language he used.
It Is well known that he ha* no sympa
thy with the agitation against trusts.
All of his talk shows that. In the excite
ment of a public address it la but natural,
therefore, that he should give expression
to his real senllmenle.
Some of Hie Republican paper* are In
dicating openly that It would be a good
thing for Ihe party If he were to coniine
himself to collecting campaign contribu
tion* and let others, who are better qual
ified. do the talking.
The Philadelphia North American, for
Instance, In a recent Issue, aald: "The
Republican party cannot afford to have
Mr. llanna on the stump. That Chicago
*t*ecch of his must have made Preatdent
McKinley'* blood run cold. It ha* sent
a shiver through the whole Republican
body. Mr Hanna I* the only Republican
yet heard from who applauds It. though
the Democrats are delighted with 11. Mr.
tlryan especially." Y'el. In Ihe face of
such a criticism as lhal. Mr Hanna aay*
that he I* thinking of making some
speeches In the Eastern stale* II Is prob
able that the Republican National Com
mittee will see to It that he does not
make any more speeches where there Is
a chance to do the party harm.
If he makes any speeches In Ihe Eastern
stales II will be probably to audiences
composed of trust magnate* and bank
er*. and the subject of his discourse* will
be the need of the Republican party for
more money for campaign purpose* Be
foie that kind of an audience and on that
aubjeU he Is a auccea* as a atump
speaker.
At length tho mailer of retiring dirty
tsiper money from circulation and subsil
tullng clean, now Mile for It. has been
token up by Secretary Gage. The New
York Board of Health recently received
„ complaint from Brooklyn with respect
to the reissue nnd use of dirty bills. The
complainant wrote; "I desire to call your
attention to a very serious menace to th
h-aith of the community, vt*., the banks
on.l the general government nre reissu

I unity filthy condition, and nre the meins
of conveying contagious diseases from on
person to another. If your honorable
*>od.v has no Jurisdiction, will you kindly
advise me what to do In the nwwter?"
The communication was forwarded to the
Secretary of the Treasury.and h- has pru
mto wfnt enn be -lone about It.
For v> ar* th- Morning New* has - r.-d
out against llie elreuiittlon of filthy, germ
kiden paper money. No person who rc
. elves a dirty, ragged, pulpy bill lias the
leas: assurance that It lias not recently

Not long ago such a hill was su ijected to
microscope examination by a bacteriolo
gist. and upon an Inch of Its surface lie
found literally thousands of germ< of the
diseases named, besides many others No
set-ast-haisl bill ought ever be sent our
from the treasury. The old bills should be
destroyed as fast a* they are received and

What Ihe (‘rasas Tells.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
What does the census say?
Study the figures well:
Hundreds of thousands of hurrying men.
Kaoh writh n atory to tell!
Each with a heart and each with a soul.
Each with his jovs or cares.
Each believing that he, somehow.
Should weigh in Ihe world’s affairs.
What does the census show?
Hundred* of thousands of men
W, arlly quitting tlielr (asks to-night
To toil to-morrow again;
Hundreds of thou*nndji of people, each
Faithfully hoping away
For a glimpse* of the chance for the lucky
strike
That each Is to make, some day.
What does the census tell?
Does It tell of the eyes that ache?
Does It tell of the wreath on the little
mound?
Docs It tell of the hearts that break
Does It -tell us a story of brotherhood,
Of help for the halt nnd blind?
Doe. it tell of the proud who ride In front
And the weary who trudge behind?
What does the census show?
Hundreds of thousands of bands.
Knotted and rough ntul white ami soft,
►'tiling the world's demands;
Hundreds of thousands of sons of God
Toiling In hope. In doubl,
Each with his woes or each with his Joys
That the world cares nothing about.
What does the census say?
What do the figures mean?
Hundreds of thousands o'er whom the
grass
Will some day be growing green!
Hundreds of thousands of bubbles cast
About on a troubled sea—
Men In myriads hurrying past
With never a thought of me.

1 Witty Heal Man.
In "Travels In New England and New
York," President Dwight of Yale College
tells a good story ot Indian wit and friend
ship.
In the early -lays of Ldtchfleld, Conn . an
Indian called at the tavern and asked the
landlady for f.tod, frankly stating that he
had no money with which lo pay for It.
She refuted him harshly, but a white man
who sat by noted the red man's half-fam
ished stale, and offered to pay for hla sup
per.
Tile meal was furnished, and Ihe !n
--d.an. his hunger satisfied, returned to the
Arc and loH hie Itencfactor a storv.
"You know Bible"" slid the redskin.
The man nsaented.
"Well." said the Indian, "the Bible say.
0.l made world, and then he took him
and look at him and say. 'lit good very
good.' He made light, and he took him
and look ot him and say, ‘lie good, very
good.' Then he made dry land and water
nml aim an.l moon nnd grass and trees,
and took him un-l look at him and say.
-||i. good, very good. Then he made l-east
and birds and Halits, nnd took him an-l
look ai him and shy. 'He good, very good '
"Then he ma Ic man and took him and
look at lilm and say. 'He good, very, very
gonl ' Then he made woman, ami look
him and look at him, and he no dare nay
one such word I"
This last conclusion was tittered with
a meaning glance nt Ihe landlady.
Some years after this o tirrcnct. the
man who had paid for th- Indian's sti|-
per was captured ty tedskins ami caerbd
to Canada, where he was ma te to work
like a slave. One day an Indian came to
him. recalled lo his mind the occurrence
at Ihe I fn-hfit Id tnv-Tn. and ended by
saving:
"1 that Indian. Now my turn pay. i
see you home. Com- with me."
And the redskin guided ihe man back to
Ettch field.

—A eevere wind and hall storm struck
Tunnciton. Md. a few nights ago Just
after Charles Coxed and tit* family had
gone 10 bed. The storm lifted the whole

Into ihe atr, depositing the house right
aide up and complete, except for the floor,
nearly too yards away. The family awoke

was Injured.
—A newly discovered property of celts
of various organs has Just been announc
ed to the Faria Academy of Science* by
M. Delexeun*. According to a notice In
Li Nature; ‘‘lf an animal I* Inoculated
with the liquid given by any ma.orated
organ, thin animal yields a serum which,
inoculated tn anew animal, brings about
the .testruction of the cells of the eorre
■ ponding organ. Thus, for example, we
may oauae the destruction of the salivary
gian l, the kidneys, etc. An emulsion of
the liver, when given hy Inoculation to an
animal, determines a modltUatlon of Its
serum such that this serum, when like
wise administered to another animal, pro
vokes the destruction of the ht pa tic call*
The action ts strictly limited to the or
gana effected Furthermore. M. Dele
xeune has di active red that the serum In
question. Inoculated continuously tn weak
dose* In a healthy animal, makes It Im
mune against the action of stronger se
rums."
I-a Fiance Mllltalre states that the
French Red Cross Society has derided rot
to send any ambulaneea to accompany the
Krrn. h troops on land in China, a a It Is
Infornxal that these would prove more of
an incumbrance than anything else. The
society, therefore, will confine Us energies
to th.- equipment and sending out, at a
cost of 4NI.M) of the hospital ship Notre
Dame de Salut. Special provision has been
made for healing the vessel throughout In
anticipation of the cold weather prevalent
tn North China during the winter. The
medical staff of the ship consists of nine
doctors, two chemists and twelve hos
pital attendants. Three of the doctors
amt ten of the attendants belong to the
French navy and accompany the vessel
by order of the minister of marine. The
vessel has accommodation for ;tflf> patient*.
She will be stationed at the base of op
erations, hut a occasion arises she will
convey Ihe sick and wounded to Japan,
thus following Ihe example of the hospital
ships ol other nations.
—A Parliamentary paper has recently
been published In England dealing with
the prevention of cholera and typhoid by
inoculation. In regard to Inoculation
against the first-named disease the opin
ions ot the medical officers and the sta
tistics are decidedly In favor of the o|>era
tion. and on certain of the tea plantations
a preference 1* shown for Inoculated cool
ies for laborers. Respecting Inoculation
against typhoid or enteric fever, th* re
sults have been even more satisfactory,
and In one aeries of experiments, where
2.1X10 soldiers were Inoculated, no bad or
unfavorable symptoms followed Only
five or six of the men so treated contract
ed the disease, and with the exception of
one case, It was of an exceedingly mild
type. The chief British medical officer
in India slates In his report: "From *x
l-erlmems which have tarn carefully made
It has been conclusively proved lo the
satisfaction of those who are best com
petent to Judge of the- mutter, that anti
typhoid Inoculation, when properly carried
out. achieves an Immunity equnl to or
greuter than that which accrue* to a iter
son who undergoes un<l recovers from an
attack of the disease."
—Neodesha. Kan., promises to become
Ihe Mecca of fat folks. The Inhabitants
of tho town. 1,500 In number, are remark
ably thin, most of them weighing not over
100 pounds. A correspondent of the New
York Commercial, who hu Just visile I the
place, reports hi- observations as follows:
"If nil the people In Neodesha wers rtrlp
ped and stood up In line nnd dresse.l only
In indlan attire they would make a pic
ture equal lo the repress motions of starv
ing people In India, Physic tans say that
the great bodies of oil nnd natural gas
under the town are nature's anti-fat rem
edy." It Is proposed. In fact, to start a
great anti-fat sanitarium al Neodesha. At
this place. It appears, ail the men wear
liear-ls. because they are 100 lean to be
shaved. The typical Populist-long, lank,
hirsute and voiutd,—ls Illustrated In every
clttxen. "I wem to a show In Ihe even
ing." ihe correspondent adds, "and In an
audience of people 1 don't think one
weighed over If* pounds. The clerk at
Ihe Neodesha postoffico I* & feet 7 Inches
In bight, but weigh* only 97 pounds.
Hirangely enough, the only lobbing black
smith In the town Is also the thinnest and
Itsltlest man In weight—kn pounds; the
wife of the orgarist In the Unitarian
Ohurrh I* 2? years old. has three healthy
children, and weighs S3 ponn-ls this sum

—Havelock Ellis, In Ihe Popular Science
Monthly, has an article on ihe "Psycholo
gy of Red." which well summarizes what
Is known on this Interesting subject Bed
rays are life to Ihe chlorophyll-bearing
plants; violet rays are death. Plants
growing under blue glass become Insensi

red glass attain extraordinary develop
