Dr. Lyman Ab bot, discussing Genesis in the course of a lecture in the Lowell institute, said his point of view in discussing the Old Testament was that of mod ern literary or scientific criticism. "The. book of Genesis was supposed to have been written about 1,450 years before Christ," said the lecturer, "but it deals with a period 20 or 25 cen turies before the time of Aloses. Sup posing then, that Moses wrote the book of Genesis, how did he obtain the facts found in the book? Aly own opinion," continued Dr. Abbot, "is (lint it was written by some unknown prophet as a sort of introduction to the Iliblo." He called attention to (ho two sep al ate and distinct nets of the deluge, and said that to him Genesis seemed like an edited book rather than a written book. It was known to be in o'.istenee long before the time of Noah. "What were the resources If not legend and myth?" he asked.

Washington, Jan. 20.- President Ate Kinley now Iiiih under consideration propositions relative to the Philip pines which contemplate these ac tions: The issuance of a proclamation, through Oen. Otis, granting amnesty to all Filipinos In insurrection against the I'liltcd Status on the condition that they lay down their arms and agree to respect the authority of the United States, and declaring that all who refusu to acknowledge this sovereignty within a certain spceilio tiinu will bu considered as outlaws and treated accordingly; the appoint ment of a civil commission to under take the work of civil government to succeed the military form of gov ernment for thu islands; the urging of congress to make some declara tion showing it to be the purpose of the United States to permanently hold the Philippines and suppress in surrection. With the American Hag Hying in all important ports and towns in Lu zon, it is argued that the time has arrived for the inauguration of civil government and that as u preliminary thu bands of insurgents still in re volt should be given an opportunity to accept the amnesty. The only ar guments made against the issuance of such a proclamation are that Agui iinldo and his remaining adherents may construe it as an evidence of weakness on the part of the American army and feel encouraged to hold out for belter terms.
