MAY GOVERN MEXICO
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, President
Diaz' Probable Successor.
At rrornl He la Mlalater of War and
Oar of the stronneat I'olltloal
and Soelal Leaders of Oar
M.lrr Heyuullc.
If Gen. l'orfirio Diaz resigns tlie of
fice 'f president nf Mexico he will be
buci'i'olcil ly (leu. llernarilo lleyes, the
pre-cut minister f war. If President
Ilia: should die kiulcleuly while iu of
fice he would likewise he succeeded by
(jen. Kcyes. The accession to the
presidency of Mexico, if accomplished
by Ucii. Kcyes through the rekinu
tion of his chief, would lie u coinpnra
ticly peaceful event. Hiould he se
cure the ollice through the builden
death of the present incumbent he will
do so under circumstances which will
pi.e rise to some alarms in foreign
count rics whose c it ie ns arc int crest cd
financially in Mexico inaintaiiiin her
present political stability.
The story that President liaz ik
ol oiit to resign has airain ifone the
rounds of llie press of the 1'nited
States. It is n familiar story, mid ns
it is based upon a perfectly logical out
eome of the present situation in Mex
ico, it is readily accepted. It is not
bi 'liecd by I hose ho know t he prt'fci
dent of Mexico that he is anxious to
lay iIhh 11 1 he t ivtm ndoiis ami autocrat
ic poe.- which lie liaV exercised so
w isely and so !n lie realizes, how
ever, that he is L'ettinu to be nn idd
man. He also realizes that, owinp to
the peniliar character of his people
and the a utoerat ie form of povcr anient
which prevails in Mexico under the
trnne of a republic, that the will of
the people is not expressed at the bal
lot box. and that a new reipn cannot
be inn ununited :i in the greater and
truer republic to the north.
If President Pin resigns it will lie
because the hue of his country, uliirh
is stroiur within him. is greater limn
his desire to continue to wield the
scepter.

Chlcaga Valveralljr Profeaaor D.

1'rof. Jacques Loeb, of the Chicago
university, reaj a papeT the other day
before the American 1'hynio logical so
ciety in which he maintained that the
life of man may be extended 100 years
or longer by supplying the nerves with
electrical force through proper food
aud by the introduction into the body
of chemicals that will produce elec
trical force or that will destroy cer
tain particles in the nerve, that hin
der the ei.i ration of electrical force.
I'rof. Koib's disco-very is fc-aid t
mark an epoch in ihe science of life.
T he idea, apparently, is that life is re
ally stimulated aud made to continu
by electrical Impulses generated by
minute elect ical excitants, of positive
at i! i.r:ra!ivi- natures, within the budy.
actually within tin; nerves.
The pith of the ilisx-overy lies in the
ups.jtiiiM- ,,f i,e theory that the litTVen
arc cnii.pl -id of cells, acting one
ag:i.ir.s: the other, and carrying its a
motor impulse to the muscles the nig
ral from the leain. They arc, on t lit
ntla r h'lt.il. composed of a colloidal
solution, which is not king more t ha n
n jelly in solution, the colloidal parti
cles of which carry positive electrical
charges of electricity.
The soluble condition of Ihe nrrvt
matter is maintained by positively
charged chemical atoms, such as nodi
inn, potassium, calcium and hydrogen.
The nerve stimulation is induced and
the impulse by which the muscles tire
attracted is carried along by negative
ly charired matter.
So long as the nerve matter remains
In solution there is no impulse, but
when the initial stimulus from ihe
brain is applied the i.rgnt ive particles
throughout the nerve tissue are made
to act and elect rical excitement along
ti e entire nerve inset up.
The statement simply is that instead
of there being some central battery in
the body where electrical force is gen
erated electricity by which the motor
nerves are made effective in moving
the human mechanism, is generated in
countless thousands of tiny batteries
distributed throughout the nervous
system, and called into action by a sig
nal frnttj the brain upon the nearest
ncgat ive elect rode.

The place gained by Parker has beta

He was once premier of the monarchy
of Hawaii, and lately candidate for
delegate to congress in the campaign
in which Hubert Wilcox was successful.
He is a cattleman, owning immense
acreage in Hawaii and raising most of
the island-bred beeves marketed there.
Parker is ambit ions to be the next gov
ernor of Hawaii, and has a good chance
for the ollice when Sanford ii. Dole
goes out. Harold Sewall, who resigns
the republican committeeship, was for
mer minister to Hawaii and later spe
cial representative of the United
States there. He is a son of the late
Arthur Sewall, who was liryan's run
ning mate in is'ji'i, and has recently
come into a large fortune by his fa
ther's death. Sewall w as talked of for
the governorship of Hawaii, but failed
of appointment. It is understood now
that he has given up rtionlar interest
in the pu'liiics of the islands, and is
striving for the post of minister or
ambassador to some great foreign
power.
The republicans in the islands are
split into Pole and anti-Pole factious,
but as Parker is friendly with the lead
ers of both sides, he may be able to
reunite them.
