A'tribe'of natives known as Maoris,
living in New Zealand, cook their po
tatoes and other articles of food in a
very novel way. There are several
volcanoes in the land, and many of
the Maoris live up in the mountains
near them. In various places volcanic
steam and hot water issue from the
ground. The natives make use of these
in preparing their meals.
Judge Alfred Stockier, justice of the
supreme court ol' the state of New
York, was born a poor lad on the
East Side, his father having died when
he was five years old. He secured
■work in a law office, where he made his
start, and when still a mere boy be
came president of the literary society
of the Cooper union, and in its debates
broadened his education.
Eminent specialists are just now en
deavoring to solve the mystery of a
disease known as beriberi, which
seems to be identical with the "sleep
ing illness" of the west coast of Afri
ca. But up to the present even the
greatest physicians have not been
able to diagnose or cure it. Whole
villages of West African Negroes havo
been known to sleep themselves to
death.
A scheme is on foot to create an
island in the center of the lake of
Neuchatel, in Switzerland. In tho
middle of the lake there is a. sub
merged mountain six or seven feet
below the water, and it is on this
mountain that the island will be con
structed. A large hotel will he erect
ed on the island. The capital, which
is already subscribed, will come from
and America.
Mr. Marconi, the man who has ex
cited so much wonder throughout the
world by his invention of wireless
telegraphy, had thought over the idea
when he was a schoolboy at Leghorn.
The greatest of the world's electri
cians had not even thought of such
a thing at that time. Yet Mr. Mar
coni, before lie was 20 years of age,
had solved the most difficult problem
that has ever troubled men's minds.
The Lincoln park commissioners of
Chicago have authorized the erection
in the park of a monument to the
memory of David Kennison, who is
declared to have been the only sol
dier of the revolution who went from
Illinois, returned to Illinois and lies
buried in Illinois—in fact, in that
park. A bowlder, perfectly Inscribed,
will probably be placed over his grave.
The Sons of the Revolution will bear
the cost.
The czar of Russia desires the holy
synod to annul the excommunication
of Count Tolstoy before that great
philosopher dies, but M. Pobiedonos
zeff, the procurator, is strongly op
posed to the idea —so strongly, indeed,
that his majesty has given up trying
for it.and washes his hands of all re
sponsibility by saving that if failure
to give Tolstoy Christian burial causes
revolutionary outbreaks it will be the
procurator's fault.
The salvation army is floating an is
sue of $150,<100 bonds to provide homes
J'or the worthy poor. The bonds are se
cured by colonization lands of the ar

valued at $250,000. On file are appli
cations from more than one thousand
families anxious to leave the city and
Mettle on 1 arming lands. Among sub
scribers to the bonds are Senator Ilan
na. Washington E. Connor and Ben
jamin ii. Tracy, of New York.
ThfcfCreek royal family is a very dis
tinguished one. Prince George, of
Greece, is the strongest of living royal
ties, and is besides a very accomplish
ed fencer and boxer. He holds a nied

o! the university of Athens for the
whining of an open boxing competi
tion some years ago. Another posses
sion of Prince George which may well
be called a prize is the yacht with
which the czar and Prince George wero

It ip the opinion of some of the best
of our officers that we have been
showing rather too much deference to
the Spanish language in the Philip
pine islands, and that we could not do
better than to bring the English ton
gue to the front in every possible way,
encouraging its public and private use
as the general medium of communca
tion. Hut we infer from this latest re
port that this is just what is now being
done. Spanish exists in the islands
simply because it was the tongue of
the civil and military authorities who
preceded us in occupation.
AS TO REDUCTION OF TAXES.
How to Take llovin 11«e Trejinury
Surplus with Ilot Ailvanlane
to the People.
The subject of special interest to
the ways and means committee at
this moment is: How shall we deal
with the treasury surplus? It is u
question, too, in which the people
of the whole country have a pro
found concern. May republicans pro
pose the abolition of the whole of
the remaining: war taxes of 1808.
Part of these were removed by the
recent congress, most of the changes
to take effect at the beginning' of
July last. It was supposed at that
time that this cut would abolish the
surplus. The estimate was that $40,-
000,000 or $45,000,000 of revenue would
be eliminated, and that the treasury
accumulations of the year beginning
with last July would be comparative
ly small. This was an error of judg
ment, but it was a natural one. The
activity of trade and the general high
level of the country's prosperity, cou
pled with a reduction in expenditures,
have made the surplus for the cur
rent year more than it was in the
preceding 12 months. Secretary
Gage's estimate is that, on the basis
©' existing laws, the excess of re
receipts over ordinary expenditures
in the year which ends on June :!0
next, a little over five months hence,
will be about $100,000,000, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
How can this surplus be reduced
most advantageously for the coun
try? Representative Boutell, of Illi
nois. in an article in Leslie's Week
ly, proposes that the whole of the
remaining war taxes be abolished.
Representative Bartholdt, has a bill
before congress which provides for
the removal of all these taxes. It is
meeting with strong support from
republicans, and it is likely to meet
the favor of many democrats. There
is some uncertainty as to how much
of a surplus would be left if all these
taxes were given up. Forecasts on
this line are apt to be worth little.
There are factors affecting govern
mental income which cannot be meas
ured beforehand with any close ap
proach to accuracy. It is well to
bear in mind that, though Secretary
Gage estimated the surplus at SIOO,-
000.000 for the fiscal year ending with
June, 1902, he figured that the sur
plus for the year ending with June,
1903, would be only $23,000,000. The
basis in each case is the existing tax
laws, coupled, in the second case,
with the estimates for appropria
tions which have already been sub
mitted. While there is a chance that
this $2:1,000,000 guess may be wide of
the mark, yet the fact that the mar
gin for next year will be much small
er than is that for the year which
will end a few months hence ought
to be taken into the account.
Unquestionably some of the war
taxes' can safely be removed altogeth
er or reduced. Whether all of them
can be cut off without danger is a mat
ter which calls for careful deliberation
by congress. The estimates of ex
penditures which the secretary of the
treasury had before him when he made
his forecast of a $23,000,000 surplus fur
the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1003.
showed a much larger outlay than will
be made in the year which closes a few
months since. This, of course, i» a
safe precaution, for the isthmian ca
nal and the Pacific cable, both of which
will probably be authorized at the
present session of congress, will be
among the things which will increase
the government's monetary demands.
Just how much the annual outlay will
be increased by these great works of
national utility is uncertain, but these
and other great enterpriser have to
be taken into consideration in esti
mating 1 the excess of governmental re
ceipts over expenditures. The ques
tion of how much taxation can be abol
ished is one which demands careful
study in the light of all the conditions,
present and prospective. As the pres
ent Gen. Grant -once remarked, a sur
plus is- easier to manage than a deficit.
It is well for the republican party to
be on the safe side on this bigquest ion.
A deficit, if we should have it, would be
an awkward thing for the republicans
to explain in the canvass of 1004.

ICThe person who furnishes politi
cal misinformation about Indiana for
a Chicago paper says the republican
majority in this state was les-> in ISOB
than in ISOG, and less in 1000 than in
1808. President McKinley's plurality
i in 1800 was 17,542; the republican plu
rality for secretary of state ill 1808
was 17,510, and President McKinley's
plurality in 1000 was 20,842. It, is the
decreasing republican pluralities, says
this interesting correspondent, that
gives the Indiana democratic leaders
hope!—lndianapolis Journal.
ICT'Tlie press of Ohio is almost unan
imously in favor of observing the an
niversary of William McKinley's birth
day as a legal holiday. "Not,"says the
Cleveland Leader, "because he was
an Ohio man, but the fact that he was
shot and killed because he represent
ed orderly government ant! not for the
reason that he had done anything to
injure his slayer, ought to give to his
birthday peculiar significance and
make it an occasion for rejoicing in
the triumph of republican principles
and the perpetuity of republican insti
tutions." —Albany Journal.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1902
AS TO THE SUGAR TARIFF.
Noteworthy Feature of the Situation
la Ki illusion of the Alitl-
TarllT Theory.
The status of the controversy over
the question whether the tariff on Cu
ban sugar should be reduced by this
government may be briefly described as
follows, says the Albany Journal:
Opposed to the tariff-reduction prop
osition tire the men who are interested
in the American beet-sugar industry
Their contention is that their business
would be detrimentally, even ruinous
ly, affected by the importation of Cu
ban raw sugar, which, with part of the
duty taken off, could be set down in'
this country at a price below that at
which it is profitable to produce beet
sugar.
In favor of the proposed tariff re
duction are:
First, the Cuban sugar planters who
declare that they cannot profitably dis
pose of their product unlessthe I'nited
States government admits it to the
markets of this country under more
favorable terms, and that consequently
they will suffer loss directly ami Cuba
as a whole will suffer indirectly, since
the island's prosperity depends to a
considerable extent upon the develop
ment of its sugar industry. The plant
ers are naturally backed by the Cuban
people at large.
Second, a large part of the people of
the United States, who hold that it is
this country's duty to assist Cuba in
its efforts to develop its resources and
lo become prosperous as well as inde
pendent.
Third, the American sugar-cane re
fining interests, whose representatives
argue, whatever the unspoken reasons
for their attitude may be, that a con
siderable tariff on Cuban sugar is un
necessary for the proper protection of
any American interests, and declare
that a reduction of the present tariff
jvould be advantageous to the con
sumer in that it would effect a per
manent reduction in the price of re
fined sugar.
The essential question to be consid
ered i- whether it is an indisputable
fact that a reasonable reduction of the
duty <in Cuban sugar must necessarily
have the effect of crippling the Amer
ican beet sugar industry and ultimate
ly destroying it.
A noteworthy feature of the situa
tion is the utter inability of the man
whose pet argument is that the tariff
should be taken from all articles made
by (rusts, in order to bring the trusts
to terms and under subjection, to ap
ply in this case. The stand taken by
the American Sugar Refining company
and kindred interests, by Ihe side of
those who lead in the effort to secure
this tariff reduction, leaves that indi
vidual to wonder vaguely how he ever
came to believe his argument to be
good and even incontrovertible.
BRYANISM AND INDIANA.
A State to Which the Nplirankan
Would 110 Well Give Some
Attention.
Tt is worthy of note that while Mr.
Bryan is in the east adjuring his par
ty friends to be steadfast in their de
votion to the Chicago platform, the
democrats of Indiana have elected a
gold man chairman of their state com
mittee. The champions of silver warm
ly opposed the selection, but tlicy were
out-maneuvered and out-voted. Drift
was decidedly against them. Indiana
was longa democratic state, but when
Mr. Bryan came to the front and made
free silver the issue,sent.iment changed
and the republicans took charge. They
have been in charge ever since, and
are now in complete charge. A repub
lican governor, two United States sen
ators. a republican majority of the
delegation in the house of representa
tives, and a republican majority of the
state legislature attest the power of
Bryanism as a disintegrating force.
Hence this change, and this notice to
the public by the Indiana democrats
of an effort to try and return to saner
counsels under a new leadership, says
the Washington Star.
The effect, of this change will be
tested hi fore the next presidential
race. The nexi will choose
a successor to Mr. Fairbanks in Ihe
senate, and that gentleman is. a can
didate to succeed himself. He is a
very strong man, and one of his par
ty's national leaders. He has been men
tioned with respect for the presidency,
and is frequently mentioned row as the
probable running mate with Mr. Roose
velt in 1004. lie is popular at home,
an(l if he is to lie defeated for return
to the senate it can only be accom
plished by the most strenuous and
wisely conducted campaign on ihe
part of his opponents.
It is easily to be seen how -mtieh a
victory over Mr. Fairbanks would be
worth to the Indiana democrats. The
state would be lifted immediately into
consideration as the best fighting
ground for 1904, and the democratic
leaders brought forward in the spec
ulation respecting national candi
dates. Play to secure the first place
would be fully authorized, and if that
missed, play for second place would
follow and probably be successful.
The democrat who presented himself
as the successor lo Mr. Fairbanks in
the senate would be bet ween March 4,
ion: 1 ,, and the meeting of the next dem
ocratic national convention, one of the
most conspicuous men in his party.
Speech ma king in the east has its
charms, but Mr. Bryan would do well
to give some time to Indiana. It is a
• great state, considered with re
spect to the next, presidential, race,
mayor's presidential boom is
being inflated at home. Ii will be nec
essary, however, to first convince the
democrats of Ohio that he is an avail
able man, and then bring the demo
crats of the nation to the same way
of thinking. At present the mayor's
prospects are not very rosy.—Cleve
land Leader.
A DARING ROBBERY.
Train Held I'p and Two Kiprm Solea,
Taken Irom It t».v .Vlasked lien.
liranclivillc, S. <'., Jan. 28.—A
fully planned and audacious expre.su
robbery took place about 7 o'clock
last evening on the Southern ltail
wny when the passenger train from
Charleston reached nearly the exact
site of the successful robbery of two
years ago, five miles from Hranch
ville. Light men were riding on the
platform between the engine and
baggage car concealed by the dark
ness. None were masked. At the
55-mile board two men crawled over
the tender and covered the engineer,
John 'Reynolds, with Winchesters.
They fired two shots, one ball pass
ing through Reynolds' cap. Fireman
Cobb escaped by jumping off. Con
ductor Black, who ran out, was cov
ered and ordered back.
"By order of these men, a brake
man uncoupled the express, mail and
baggage cars, which were taken to 58
station, leaving the rest of the cars
on the main line, llere several shots
were fired into tne express car and
one man climbed up, covering Ex
press Messenger Hall with a Win
chester and compelled him lo open
the door. I hree men entered the
car find stripped the local safe. Af
ter threatening Hall with instant
death it he did not open the through
safe, and finding lie Knew nothing
of the combination, tne safe was
rolled out on the platform. Then the
engineer was ordered to return with
the three cars to the train and he
obeyed, bringing the train without
further incident to Branchville. Noth
ing was seen of the men or the safe
on passing 5-S. There was only a small
amount en booty in the loeai safe antl
no one here knows the contents of
the through safe. No mail or bng
gage was touched and no passengers
were molested. The robbers took
their pistols from the only employes
who we\;e armed, and resistance was
out of the question.
The leader is supposed to lie Bar
ton Warren.

Havana, Jan. at).—During yester
day's trial of the charges growing
j out of the Cuban postal frauds, In
spector Gregory continued bis testi
mony. He said that according to the
report of Inspectors •Sullivan and
| Lcatlierman, there were only 357,1>:1
surcharged stamps on hand May 26,
1S!)D, or 35,404 stamps less than were
credited to the account of burned
■stamps September 11, 1899. Gregory
said this difference was probably
70.000, as no record was kept of cash
sales and as no more stamps were
received during the interval from the
I'nited States.
Regarding the surplus cash found
by Sullivan and Lcatlierman, May 26,
(iregory testified that ('. F. \\. Xeely
was not charged with about $5,000
in various items and that conse
quently there should have been a de
ficiency instead of a surplus, (ireg
ory said that Kstes (i. Rathbone made
two reports, one to Gen. Brooke, ex
governor general of Cuba, atid the
other fo the postmaster general, June
30, 18'.)!), and that the figures in these
two reports did not agree.
'Havana, Jan. 30.—Fourteen wit
nesses were heard yesterday during
ihe hearing of the postottice trail 1
cases. Inspectors Hamilton, Keys
and Waters corroborated the testi
ninny given by Inspector Gregory re
garding the inspection of accounts
and the ascertaining of the amount
of the frauds. Kx-Assistant Auditor

Manila, Jan. 29. —(Jen, Chaffee re
turned here yesterday, lie says tie
found the conditions satisfactory
everywhere, except at Samar, where
continuous rain lias retarded the
campaign.
The condition of ('apt. David D.
Porter's marines, who took part in
the expedition into the interior of
iSamar, is much worse than previ
ously described. They suffered fear
ful hardships and were without food
for several days. The natives who
accompanied the marines claimed
they were unable to distinguish the
edible roots, which the marines did
not believe. The anger of the ma
rines against the natives is intense.
None of the latter returned with the
marines.
The marines suffered so acutely
from starvation that they ate, raw,
the flesh of two dogs.
When ('apt., l'orter and the first
three of his men staggered into camp
they were delirious and difficulty was
experienced in ascertaining the
whereabouts of their companions.
Williams, of the First infantry,
headed the relief expedition in the
face of a torrential rain storm which
flooded the rivers, lie succeeded in
reaching the remaining ten men, who
would otherwise have certainly per
ished. He found them all delirious.
Two of the men were discovered eat
ing tjie branches of trees and bark
ing like dogs. Some of the marines
are so ill that they are not likely to
recover.
Maj. Lot and three Filipino lieu
tenants, with ten rifles, three revol

rendered to Maj. Anderson, of the
Sixth cavalry, at Lipa, province < 112
Batangas. Lot was brought in sick,
011 a litter. He was cordially hated.
Xickerson's scouts have captured
Col. Lot, a brother of Major Lot, near
Batangas.
Lieut. William L. Barnes, of the
Sixth cavalry, had a slight engage
ment with some Filipinos, during
which he killed two insurgents and
captured a captain and two soldiers.
A party of insurgents, led by two
renegade Americans, recently entered
Alangulang, in Leyte province, claim
ing they were constabulary, but not
yet uniformed. The imposters were
taken to police headquarters and
were royally entertained by the na
tive sergeant in charge. At a given
signal the renegades and insurgents
fell 011 the police, who, though out
numbered more than two to one,
fought desperately and drove off
their assailants after a hand-to-hand
light, in which bolos were the chief
weapons. The victory was notable, as
the police were completely surprised
and outnumbered. They lost two
men killed and had one man wound
ed. The insurgents left one man
dead.
The criticism of the senate minori
ty report on the Philippine tariff bill
has been general here, though many
people admit the statements made in
the report are correct.
(ien. Wheaton's vigorous criticisms
referred entirely to Prof. Schur
man's speech at Boston, though he
holds the professor in high personal
esteem. The statement that a person
who made such remarks here as those
credited to the professor during his
Boston speech would be sent to jail,
referred merely to the recent sedi
tion law.
A COSTLY BLAZE.
A 8325,000 Fire Loiw at St. l.oulw A
I'tinlc In u Hotel.
St. Louis, Jan. 29. —Two hundred
and thirty guests of the Lindell hotel
were driven from their apartments
into the sleety streets last night by
flames which wrecked the adjoining
building and threatened to sweep
away the hostelry. Women were car
ried from the upper floors in a faint
ing condition. Mothers with infants
in their arms groped their way
through suffocating smoke. Men
dragged their trunks after them
dotvn the broad stairways of the ho
tel, and clerks in the office hastily
procured the valuables of the guests
from safes and vaults and carried
them to places of greater safety.
The fire originated in a seven-story
brick structure known as the O'Neill
building. There were a dozen or
more firms occupying it,, of which the
largest concern was the L. l'ainnan
Jewelry Co. The losses suffered by
the concerns will approximate $300,-

by smoke and water to the extent of
925,000.
