ARGUMENTS ON THE SCHOOil-ML- Opposition to f AUowinfir Religious Teaching in Public Schools. Manila, Jan. 12. Arguments on the section of the school bill allowing re ligious teachings in the schools con tinued today. Dr. Manuel Burgos, who made the principal speech, said the friars would attempt to take advantage of such a situation. Burgos- urged the commission to consider the advantage? it would give Catholicism, on account of that church's overwhelming pre ponderance. Judge Taf t explained that this legisla tion was experimental. If it became the instrument of ecclesiastical oppo sition, it would be repealed. Burgos replied that it ought to be re pealed now. The Filipinos, he said. had enough or results of religious in struction in the schools. Taft contended that it was Impossi ble to judge of the new system at hap hazard or by the results of another system. He asked whether it was not impolitic to take action which would necessarily, shock the feelings of th Catholic people. 1 ORGANIZED SCHEME OFBQEllHWSm Dondwn", Jan. 12. History fAils to fuinnsh. a parallel to the Bber. invasion of Cape Colony. A whole into nth has elapsed since the republicans - crossed the ' Orange river, . and still Great Britain knows next to notShing of their miumbcrs, whareabouts or doings and still less of the object of the, inroad. The only thing! known with - tolerable certainty is that tney are progressing south ward over some sparsely inhabit ed tracts where they osbape observa tion.. Other Jairge bodies are traversing the? very heart of the colony. The only logical invasion forms part of a great organized' scheme of that Napoleon of the war, Oen. DeWet, to strike terror in the British colony, which unoues itionably. is nearly deunded, of troops, and trust. to the chapter of Incidents to achieve such, success as will enable the Boers to almost ' dictate the terms of peace. The halting policy" of the' invaders, however, "seems, to threaten to defeat their alms' and has enabled tbe hastily enrolled levies of volunteers to occupy Vital strategic points, 'While there are some signs that the gather ing' of troops in the rear of the burgh ers ds beginning1 to -press Ihean south ward Into the arms of the British mtolvin'g from the seaboard instead of attempting to drive 'them 'back' again across "the Orangie river, -Where .they anight be enabled to "join Gen.

Edward Van Ness, a prominent Boer sympathizer has writteni Congressman Ohanler of the Fourteenth DisMtat, in Which Van Nes's lives, objecting to the British ob taining horses and mules in the United States for use In the war against the Boers. j- Van. Ness caused a commotion at Bar Harbor, Maine, last summer when the British squaJdron was there by hoisting a Boer flag In front of his cottage. t.r In his letter Van Ness points out that over 100,000 horses and mules have been shipped from New Orleans' foir use of the British in the war Ini South Africa. We are the only peoiple, he continues, who supply the -Brltfsh with thesinews of war. Money to Ibuy this stock and to maintain the fleet of transports was borrowed on British bonds negotiated in Wall street and they are now he- gotiatinig an: additional loan. If the Boers are ever- cohQ-tiered Iffielr defeat wiil: be- due Hor' XTnit'fcaltes we should build a war vessel, for the Boers and turn it over to" them It would create great excitement to Lon don.

Eddy in Elec tric Kite Flying. Messages Eeeeived by Minolo Tla Eead 440ne Two, Three." 1 - 10 SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS t WRITE ON THE SUBJECT REV. MR. HAWS CLAIMS TO HAVE ALREADY ANTICIPATE! TESLA'S AOXXMPL!SHME31N IN MENTAL TELEPATHY. New York, Jan. 12. William A. "RMrfv 6f Bayonne, N. J., Says that since '92 he has drawn from his kite wire hun dreds of electric signals, both regular and. irregular, which may have come from some planet, and that the signals nave Deen usually in groups of three, regularly timed like a Morse sounder. When the ends of the kite-sustalnea steel wires are separated, bv silir strands, sparks Jump at 12-second in tervals. Then there are mysterious dis appearances of all electric action for several minutes. These electric sparks come from a higlTpoint in the air not near to the low tension electric currents of trolly and, live wires. Mr. Eddy said the sparks in the sig nals may come from an outer planet because electricity travels at the rate of 190,000 miles a second and is as tire less as light, which totals 188,300 miles a second, as measured by a rapidly re volving toothed wheel. Mr. Eddy has been trying to decipher these signals since 1892. Apropros of this It is interesting to note that IMinola Tesla claims to have recently received miesages reading one two three from a source which he thinks may be Mars. London, Jan. 12. No subject has so. appealed to popular imagination! In years as the possibility, of opening com- municaiton with. Mars. Ail manner of persons are writing on the subject, ' frOr scienitlsts to Mario Cbreili ano? Rev. Mir. Haws. The latter calmly; claims, iifcait he has alread anticipated Teslfcj by;" telepathy.. He igB!& ever. There is ia4uily.'''greafcijieat ullty throughxtot this conservative oloT world in regard to Tesla's actual ac- complishimients and his sanguineness of more definite results in the near fu ture. It Is consiered too good to be true. Every critic hedges,, however. with the admission that Roentgen rays and Other feimilar. great discoveries were received With almost universal increduality. The most unkind of all attacks, however, is the v suggestion that the great investigator has been Incapacitated from sound cientiflo work for the past two or three years by the mental effects of the terrible experiments to which he has subjected himself.. It is intimalted that Tesla. never has been the same man since he passed' through his body the awful currents which ordinarily are supposed to result fatally. .AltS A iNESW WAIT.- . .
