THE buran or snow hurricane of the

non of great interest. Even in mid
summer the temperature during a snow
buran frequently falls to 14 degrees
Fahrenheit, while in the winter of

zero at the end of January. The buran
tomes with startling suddenness, the
atmosphere growing dark with whirl
ing snow-flakes where scarcely a min

Since the death of Inventor lveeley
there has been examination of his
workshop in Philadelphia, which con
firms to some extent the theory of
many scientific men that compressed
air was really the secret of Keeley's
mysterious force. The great spherical
reservoir is there and tubing with
high pressure joints was found deftly
concealed in partitions anil ceilings or
t-cattered around as though likely to
be called upon at any time for service.
TKI TII says: "There is absolutely
no foundation whatever for the report

Princess Victoria of Wales and Prince
George of tireece, the governor general
of Crete. No such alliance is, or ever
lias been, in contemplation, and the
whole story is the purest of fictions,
a.s also is the talk about Princess Vic
toria having wished to become a hos
pital nurse.
THOMAS SMITH, consul at Moscow,
reports that the Russian ministry of

LONDON lias suddenly found itself in
possession of a cheap and inexhaustible
supply of pure water, the existence of
which it had never suspected. Walter
Mosely, the engineer of the London
county council, has informed that body
that underneath London is an immense
lake of pure, cold water, in a chalk
basin a,500 square miles in extent and
100 feet below the surface of the
ground. The annual rainfall that sinks
below to the lake is at least 'JSO,OOO,-

METHODS OF DEMOCRATS.

Tlio democratic members of congress
are entiiled to no credit l'or acquiescing
in the republican policy of ratifying
the Paris treaty, for the reason that .
past democratic history demonstrates
their ti\ed policy to be obstruction, dis
sension and reckless opposition to all
republican legislation, whenever such
antagonism is not clearly seen to be
suicidal on the part of the democracy.
So fur as liryan's action in the matter
is concerned, the same remark applies
to bim and to his motive in advising
such congressional actiou. If he is to
be "credited" with instigating the pol
icy of the democratic members, such
credit must be limited to the degree of
shrewdness shown in discovering the
shortest way out of the woods. The
whole scheme is a mere trick of party
expediency, to be followed by an at
tempt at united opposition to tlie re
publican policy of national expansion.
It is perfectly clear to all observers
of the movements of American parties
that the democratic opportunists have
hit upon the policy of opposing terri
torial expansion as the one best adapt
ed to their partisan methods and lothe
average democratic talent for duping
the ignorant and inflaming the baser
passions of the turbulent element in
our society. The plea w ill consist of a
howl against a standing army; an out
cry against "ruling colonized popula
tions contrary to their wishes or the
provisions of the constitution;" a tear
ful protest against admitting foreign
territories, densely inhabited with ig
norant tribes, whose civilization will
mean competition with the toiling
masses of our own country, and similar
democratic rot.
All this is held in contemplation as
a prospective happy diversion from the
discredited silver craze of IS9O, which
even Bryan seems anxious to get rid
of—if it can be done without causing
too much irritation among the popu
listic element of his party. It has been
one of Unan'i favorite tricks to as
sume that republicans have settled on
certain abstruse questions and policies,
though only the faintest indications of
such action may lie his sole ground for
the assumption. Subsequent indignant
repudiation of the Boy Orator's impu
dence is then taken as a backdown on
the part of the republicans. This spe
cies of trickery is foreshadowed in the
anti-expansion movement of the de
mocracy under the leadership of the
arch demagogue, Bryan.
The truth is. republicans have not
yet formulated a distinct future policy
for the final disposition of the Philip
pines. They have prudently postponed
such work, pending exhaustive investi
gation and debate on the subject. Their
attitude to-day is the only philosophical
one. The democratic attitude is the
shifting and crafty one that has al
ways characterized the party—particu
larly since its political overthrow in
is r,o.
The democracy has plunged into the
fight against national expansion with
its usual haste and effrontery. The
question is one of profound depth and
unusual importance—one that must en
gage the attention and study of our
ripest scholars and soundest political
thinkers. Vet the democratic leaders,
great and small, have tackled it. with
the vulgar and blundering temerity of
a lot of rural stagers in their first re
-1 earsal for a school exhibition. What
does the average democratic editor or
the Boy Orator know about expansion
or "imperialism"—save that the latter
expression has a patrician sonorous
ness about it that promises to excite the
instinctive antagonism of the class wlio
call themselves the proletariat? How
many of Bryan's followers or lieuten
ants have ever heard of the impeach
ment of Warren Hastings, or the sig
niflcanee of that incident, as a vindica
tion of the English expansion policy?

IMPERIALIST DEMOCRATS.

II iwtory.
At the recent meeting of the Conti
nental league—an organization whose
object is to j/iotest against "the
policy of imperialism and entangling
alliances," but many of whose leading
members have long been trying to em
broil this country in a European war,
and would like nothing better than to
do so now—Hon. lJourke Cock ran de
clared in his most eloquent and impres
sive manner that "any person who is a
democrat must, by the very elements of
his faith, be opposed to the doctrine
of imperialism that threatens the foun
dation of our country." Yes. That
sounds well. But what, in the light of
history, does it mean?
Was Thomas Jefferson a democrat?
He went in for an imperialism com
pared with which that of to-day "is as
moonlight unto sunlight, and as water
unto wine." lie annexed territories by
the side of which the Philippines are a
mere potato patch, without the least
regard for congress or the constitution,
and he arranged to do so and to govern
them without so much as a passing
thought of the "consent of the gov
erned." Was Andrew Jackson a dem
ocrat? He carried on the work of con
quest in Florida at a rate far surpassing
anything wc shall see in the Philip
pines. and lie pledged himself "by the
Eternal" to govern South Carolina
without the consent of the governed.
Was Calhoun a democrat? Kemcmber
the Mexican war and the seizure of an
empire in the southwest. Was Cass a
democrat? Imperialism ran riot at his
word in Oregon. Was Buchanan a dem
ocrat? He signed the Ostend mani
festo. Was Marey a democrat? He
wanted to annex Hawaii. There was,
down to the time of our civil war,
scarcely a democrat of the first rank
who was not identified with "imperial
ism."
What then? Were these men not
democrats, after all? Or were they
false to the faith? Are we to look upon
Bourke Coekran, instead of Thomas Jef
ferson, as the founder of the demo
cratic party?
There was once a noble red man, who
under the insidious influence of fire
water went astray in the forest and
could not make his way back to his
wigw am. After he had wandered about
a few hours, in a much bedraggled
state, he was met by some hunters, who
asked him if he was lost. Drawing him
self up with all the dignity of a son of
a thousand sachems he replied, proud
ly: "No! Indian not lost! Wigwam
lost! Indian here!"—N. Y. Tribune.

A letter from Admiral Dewey to a
kinsman in this country has been made
public, in which tlie admiral says that
Aguinaldo's prestige has waned to such
an extent that he could be easily dis
posed of as ii disturbing factor were it
not that lie is buoyed up with the hope
that "congress will refuse to ratify the
treaty, and that in some way he will
personally benefit by the stand he has
taken for independent recognition."
Those senators who are now engaged
in the work of holding up the treaty of
peace should take a hint from this let
ter. Even a slight reflection upon the
statement cf Admiral Dewey may
cause them to realize that, if they tire
doing nothing more, they are playing
directly into the bands of a Filipino
demagogue whose only motive is self
aggrandizement. Senators Hoar and
Hale, particularly, who seem to be the
chief obstacles in the way of ratifica
tion, might profitably ponder on the
Philippine situation as thus revealed by
the gallant admiral.
There seems to be no doubt that the
crisis in the Philippines has been sharp
ly accentuated by the dilatory action of
senators in the matter of approving the
treaty with Spain. The malcontents,
under the leadership of such irrational
and designing men as Aguinaldo and
Agoncillo, have taken advantage of Ihe
senatorial hesitation to foment trouble
and to arouse the simple-minded na
tives to a state of insurrection.
A failure to ratify must inevitably in
tensify t he threatening sit nation at Ma
nila. To permit the crisis to reach a
sanguinary culmination would be a na
tianal disgrace. Such a misfortune can
be easily prevented by a prompt ap;
proval of the treaty. After replication
t here w ill be time enough for a delib
erate discussion of what we shall do
with the Philippines.
To continue their arbitrary opposi
tion, the liold-up senators will be tak
ing a grave responsibility upon their
shoulders.—Baltimore Herald.
Trouble for l'upn.
The Kansas populists are not happy.
When they held a special eleventh-hour
session of the legislature and enacted
laws designed to injure the railroad cor
porations of the state they fancied they
were accomplishing something really
smart. But now the power of liov.
Leedy to call such a session is ques
tioned, and the decision of the courts is
very likely to be against him and his
fellow pops. In such a ease the legis
lators will be called upon to pay back
into the state treasury whatever money
they have received for salaries and
mileage. There is a very amusing
feature to the situation, but it is safe to
say that the members of the people's
party do not see the fun. If the courts
continue to overthrow their schemes
they may eventually take to the Bryan
platform, which favors the overthrow
of the courts. It's » poor pop who
doesn't want to overthrow something.

Manila, !•"«•!». 8. —A Filipino colonel
came out Tuesday morning from C'a
loocan, under a flag of truce. Several
American officers went to meet him,
but when the parties met the Filipi
nos opened lire. The Filipino apolo
gized for the barbarous conduct of lus
troops and returned to his lines. The
American troops are being promptly
furnished with supplies of all kinds,
hospital attendance is supplied up to
tlie firing line, and all the wants of our
troops are met immediately by the dif
ferent military <lepartiu< nts whose
duty it is to attend to such matters.
Artificer Hays, of the Colorado regi
ment, discovered the missing parts of
the pumping machinery of the water
works buried 111 a coal pile at Singalon
station. The machinery will soon be
in working order again and, the em
ployes having promised to return to
work, it is improbable that the threat
ened water famine will occur.
Lieut. Alford, of Company I, Twen
tieth Kansas infantry, and a private of
that company were killed and six oth
er members of the regiment were
wounded near C'aloocan last night
while reconnoitering. The party was
in a jungle when it was attacked by
the enemy. Two companies of the
Kansas regiment were'sent to the re
lief of their comrades and drove the
Filipinos into C'aloocan, penetrating to
the very heart of the town. Mean
while the gunboats shelled the sub
urbs. lien. Otis finally recalled the
troops.
Aguinahlo's proclamation of Satur
day says:
"I order and command:
"First That friendly relations with
the Americans be 'broken and that the
latter be treated as enemies, within the
limits prescribed by the laws of war.
"Second That the Americans cap
tured be held as prisoners of war.
"Third—That this proclamation be
communicated to the consuls and that
congress order a suspension of the
constitutional guarantee resulting
from the declaration of war."
Aguinahlo's proclamation of Monday
says the outbreak of hostilities was
unjustly provoked by the Americans,
refers to his manifesto of January 8,
publishing the alleged grievances oi:
the Filipinos at the hands of the army
of occupation, and the "constant out
rages and taunts which have been
causing misery to the Manikins," and
refers to"the useless conferences" and
"contempt shown for the Filipino gov
ernment" as proving a "premeditated
transgression of justice and liberty."
The rebel leader also refers to the
former losses of the Filipinos, but calls
upon them to "sacrifice all upon the
altar of honor and national integrity."
lie insists that he tried to avoid, as
far as possible, an armed conflict, but
claims that all his efforts "were use
less before the unmeasured pride of
the Americans."
The Americans are in complete con
trol of the situation within a radius of
nine miles of Manila, their lines ex
tending to Malabon, on the north, and
to Paranaque, 011 the south, being ful
ly miles long. While a few detached
bodies of the enemy still offer desul
tory opposition, the main body of the
rebels is in full retreat and utterly
routed.
The terrible loss of the rebels may
be gathered from the fact that 100 of
them were buried in one rice lield on
Monday near I'asas, and that s~ were
interred between I'aco and Santa Ana.
A river gunboat did terrible execu
tion among the rebels, sweeping both
banks of the river with her liatling
guns and her heavier battery. Hun
dreds of Filipinos undoubtedly crawled
into the ennebrakes and died there.
The chief of the Ygorotes, the Fili
pino natives who fought so gallantly
in the face of our artillery fire, with
their bows and arrows, is in a hospital
with a shattered thigh. He admits
that he never saw modern artillery and
was ignorant of its'e fleets until he and
his followers met the disastrous fire of
Sunday. The chief is bitterly incensed
against the Tagalos for placing the
Ygorotes in front of the American bat
tery under the pretense thai they were
sent to occupy a post of honor and he
intimates that the Ygorotes will
avenge this treachery when the surviv
ors return north.

Washington, Feb. 9. —The war inves
tigating commission lias completed it
labors and its report will be In the
hands of the president to-day. Ihe
members of the commission will meet
to-day at their old offices, sign the re
port anil proceed to the executive man
sion to inform the president that they
have completed their mission and pre
sent 1 heir report. The commission then
wi.'l cense to exist. The commission's
quarters will be vacated immediately
and will lie taken possession of by (ien.
Kennedy and Maj. Watkins, who hold
the newly created offices of advisers to
tlie war department 011 colonial affairs.
The report of the commission is a
document of l."> 0 printed pages. The
report makes an important feature of
the beef issue and dismisses as a gen
eral proposition the charges that have
been made against the beef furnished
the army, it finds that most of the
beef was such as could be properly fur
nished as an emergency ration, point
ing out that the evidence showed it
never was intended to be anything I>lll
an emergency ration. It says there
were only two witnesses who really
testified against the beef, (ien. Miles
and Maj. Daly, the chief surgeon who
made the report regarded as the most
sensational forwarded to the commis
sion by lien. Miles. As to the testi
mony of these two witnesses, the com
mission points out the mass of evidence
submitted to the contrary as offsetting
this testimony.
As to such of the canned beef as was
found to in* objectionable the commis
sion points nut the effect of'the tropi
eal climate in producing liquefaction
of the fat in the meat and the conse
quent rendering of the contents unpal
atable. Most of the beef, though, is
found to have been satisfactory for
emergency use. where fresh beef or
beef 011 the hoof could not be procured.
The strictures of <ien. Miles made pub
licly 011 the beef and his public expres
sions in other ways are subjected to a
severe criticism.
The report finds that the statements
of chemical treatment made by (ien.
Miles on the authority of Maj. Daly are
not borne out by the chemical experts
who testified. It quotes from Maj.
Daly's testimony and then takes up
the testimony of Chemists Clarke, of
the geological survey, and Bigelow, of
the agricultural department, who ex
amined analyses of the beef submitted
and finds that as a chemical expert
Maj. Daly is not supported by other
chemical authorities awl that therefore
his testimony is regarded as not
worthy of credence.
There are said to be some recom
mendations as to reorganization of cer
tain branches of the army but. it is
staited. the recommendations are not
radical. As to the administration and
conduct of the war the conclusions of
the commission are understood to be
that everything possible was done by
the department in the limited time that
it had at its command in making it
pre pa rat ions for the war, and the re
port says that the conduct of the war
not only worked out in ,e end .suc
cessfully, lint in such a way as to be
worthy of great commendation.
'I he report says that the evidence be
fore the commission shows that Secre
tary Alger exercised proper diligence
and supervision and that his subordi
nates also were efficient, experienced

on its report and there is no minority

Washington. Feb. 0. The state de

elaim of the Austro-ll unitarian govern
ment for indemnity on account of the
Hungarian strikers killed by Sheriff
Martin's posse at Ilazleton, Pa., Sep
tember 10, ItSOT. The claim litis been
pending for many months upon the ba
sis of a report filed with the state de
partment by the representative of tiic
A list ro-llungarian govern 111 ent.
The department's action is based
upon an opinion prepared by Solicitor
I'en'. Id, covering the entire field of
national responsibility in cases of mob
violence or rioting, which probably will
form the basis of future decisions in
that line. In his opinion Solicitor Pen
field says:
"No government insures the absolute
security of till foreigners who may hap
pen to lie within its territory. Aliens,
as well as nationals, are bound to re
spec-t the laws of that state in whose
territory they reside. They tire treated
the same as nationals, and like the lat
ter they are, in case of infraction of
the penalties, prosecuted and punished.
"The battimer strikers were disturb
ers "' 'lie public peace and violators
of the law. They were rapidly drifting
into a state of petty war. It was the
duty of the sheriff' to tatce measures to
prevent, as well as to repress, civil tu
mults and disorders. 011 previous oc
casions In' had commanded them to
disperse and they obeyed. They were
perfectly familiar with his official po
sition and the nature of the authority
lie exercised. If they had obeyed his
lawful command no blood would have
been sin I; and in their lawless and
aggressive conduct, challenging the
embodied force oft he state.they placed
themselves beyond the protecting pale
of the law. To reward tile wounded
.i\ing and the heirs of those slain un
ler such circumstances would be offer
'll g a premium to lawlessness."
