An Island discovered In the Antarctic ocean by the Belgian expedition has l*crn named after Mayor Van Wyck of New York. The Island Is aald to be almost perpetually covered with Ice. The discov erers of It. by the way. had never heard 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 •o enforce th- payment of an Indemnity, and various kinds of cntnnllcntlons might arise in which this country would likely t-HOfae Involv'd. An Indiana farmer went to Chicago the other day to meet a "green goods' man. The pair went Into a saloon to get a drink. The Chicago man deftly pul knock out drops Into the g ass of tho man from Indiana when he thought the latter was not looking. Even more deftly the In-llan. lan work-’d n sltght-of-haml trlek by whlrh he changed the glasses, and the green goods man swallowed his own dose. It would be a pleasure to state that the farmer succeeded In getting the bunco man's roll ami making good bis escape, but It u|ip-nrt tbat such was not the case The "pal" ot the wl-k-d Chicagoan discovered what had occurred, and smote the farmer from Indiana u:n the eye and nose and mouth, and pitched him Into the str-t.

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 tion to be 54.214. an Incrrasc of 11.055 since 1W(0 The Increase 1* 25*0 per cent. That la ahem the avt rage Increase of the cities of the country. Savannah i not a lioom town Her growth ha a been rfieady, ami her growth In laistnees has kept abreaat of her xrowth In population. Just at prea 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 undoubtedly due to an Increase In her commerce. The territory which makes her Its ship!duff iiolnt Is steadily becomlttff larger. , Snvnnnali Is hound lo continue to irrow. A city whose hank cleu i..:s amount to more than ISUJh.on In me week must have business advantages which promise for her a great fusure. In considering the census rrport of Ss \am ah's pamlatl n the fart must not he ove. looked that the city has not taken In any subtirlw In the lost ten >ears The corporate limits are now Just what they were In I#fo It Is known that there Is a population of betwetn s.*> and *. Just on the edge of fhe cor i>t rate hmlls. This population Is really a t'art of Savannah's population Asa ma't.r of fort therefore Savannah s population Is about 60,000. Taking Int.o consideration Savannah's rspldly Increasing eomm.rce, and the st>ad> development of the country tribu tary to her, a very conservative opinion Is that when the next emeus I- taken she will have a population of between To.tlOO and HOW*'. A monster engineering scftwmc Is being discussed In J’arls. It Is proposed lo for ever settle the question of that city's water supply by building an aqueduct from Lake Geneva. Sw ttzcrlnnd, where the supply Is practically unlimited. An engineer has spent six years In w-itklng out all of the details of the great scheme, and announces that the cost of eonstruc i iion would be about lajy.oot'.wo. 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 ing lsiuk notes which have passed from hand to hand unlll they are In an ac- 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 been handled by former owners suffering wlih contagious disease. n.l thnt the bill !S m reeking with the bacilli of dlphth-- rla. typhoid, gearlel fever, small-pox. etc. 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 taw ones pul In their places. ■ ■ ) The "new" women of Kngian-I. those who ride to hounds or affect horseback riding as;a means of exercise, have dis carded the side-saddle and now ride as tride, man fashion.

E. Kiser. 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. —Soothing—"Henty has Insomnia, but he got a goo-1 sleep last night." "Opiate?"

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.

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.
