THE OAfAHA DAILY BJ3K : SUNDAY , OCTOBER 128 , J898. BIOLOGY AND BERING SEA Hoporter'i Talk with David Starr Jordan Covers Quite a Wide Range , MISSING LINKS AND SEALING TREATIES I'rotnpliiiiiiiH I.cnil Up to S Cormlilcratloim tlint Hold ( lie Korc- front In ( lie HclnllniiH with Our I'ncinu Count Xe Biology has been made a life study by President David Starr1 Jordan of the Leland Stanford , jr. , University of California , and when his tlrao Is not engaged In Interna tional matters or In moulding the Ideas of the "native sou of the golden west" ho Is cither writing , lecturing or conversing on that subject until his name Is fast becom ing an encyclopedic term with every iiclontlst of two continents. Some modern evolutionists liavo said that In the case of Prof. Jordan "it Is the light ahlnlng out of the west even unto the cast. " Let It bo understood that he Is not a metaphysician a thing has to bo a cold , hard , demonstrable fact to gain his atten tion and alt other matters ho politely leaves to the domain of speculative philosophy , to bo groped after by those who like that sort of thing. So when you ask him If he thinks the evolution of form has been duo to the evolution of Ideation ho tolls you ho "doesn't think , " that that Is something ho cannot determine , that tluio may be better rpcnt on things which can bo determined. He may bo considered ultra-tnaterlallstlc. He Is the man who , beginning whcro Dar win anil other great Inductlonlsts stopped , impplles the "missing links" lu the schema of evolution , though ho modestly disclaims any originality In this ; end if BO much con be said for his penetration and analysis his comprehension , on the other hand , Includes wlthlu Us vast scope mankind from the cellular theory to the momentous questions of modern Internationalism , for the same principle underlies and the same laws gov ern cells , Individuals and nations , ho says. To him a nation Is an aggregation of cells , as u human body Is an aggregation of cells. The ethics that govern Individuals and the relations that exist between nations are , therefore , but biology on a large scale. This 1s why ho could lecture at the liberal con gress as easily against Imperialism as ho can outline the various methods of cellular re production to the fresh , young Callfornlan tyro who Is to become the Intellectual co lossus of the future , or conjure up the "missing links" In a stupendous scheme of animated development and differentiation to an audience of staid church folk. Prof. Jordan talks differently from other men. Ho lust gives It to you In an ofi- Imndcil wav as though it wcro all matter- nf-fact and there were nothing startling nt nil about It. This Is the attitude of a posi tive man who feels well sustained by logic and. principally , facto. AVhat n MlNNliifC Link IH I.Ike. " ' ' between two "Tho 'missing links' any forms. " ' said ho nt the Delfono the aftcr- noii he arrived to participate In the con- cress. "arc not any forms that now exist , but are simply tbo forms that llo behind 1hptn. Evolution can bo compared to the crowth of a tree : If you wanted to find the uolnts of dlvcrgcnco whcro the limbs shoot out from the trunk , the branches from the limbs and the twigs from the branches , you would not look for them along a level. A horizontal line drawn across the figure of n tree would glvo you a tot of parts of limbs and branches cut off from the rest of the tree anil the converging points would be lost. To find the points of convergence you would rather trace do'wn the twigs , branches nnd limbs to their sooral junctions , or you would trace upward from the trunk to where they all diverge. So with the process of develonment. All the converging points bavo bpen lost In the lapao of time , through the death of the common progenitors of any two nr more soeclea nnd their Immediate nroKcnv. Ono of the snccles being more pro gressive than the others will go on repro ducing itaelf on a higher nnd higher scale , whilst another fese progressive will repro duce on a lower scale , and etlll another on n still lower bcalo until we may have three distinct types radically differing from each other llko the man , the monkey and the dog. The effort of the evolutionist Is to do- tormlno bv the logical process of Induction and deduction , based upon certain materials found In fossilized remains or In existing forms , and by folfowlng certain points of nlmllarltv. where the different genera and uncclra converced nnd how they diverged , conceiving of all animated and all organ ized life as having been of ono general crowth. "Now for examples : If you are looking for the missing link between the horse and the cow It wouldn't be a horned horse or a horze that chews n cud , but It would be Bomo simple herbivorous , five-toed nnlmnl that would show none of the peculiarities of a horse or cow , but would have qualities that could bo made over into these. Such an animal exists In the fossil shape In the bad lands of Dakota , and it may be com pared In Its make-up to the embryo of both a horse nnd cow , taken nt an early ntage before the peculiarities appear. Of course you have heard of this. It Is the coryphodonl , the flvo-tocd mammal. Then wo find the oreodonl lu the tertiary formation of the Rocky mountains , a mammal which would seem to have been allied In many respects to the hog , the camel and the deer. Wo find fossil forms In India nnd the Island of Java which lie behind man on thr ono hand and the chimpanzee trlbo on the other. We could Imagine them as being possible ancestors for both because they are Just ns near one as the other. They are not directly between man and < the ape , but are behind both the human and the simian forms , so that they could easily have given rise to either. Science calls them the pithe canthropus , or man-ape. As to their form they are only known as bones , but , roughly considered as put together , they constitute n simple structure as of a human ape , sup posed to have been upright Whether they were quadrumanao or not we cannot tt-11. " "And did they have tallsT" was asked. "No , they had uo tails. For tbat matter Consumption never strikes a sod- do n blow. It creeps its way along. \ First , it is a cold ; then a little hacking cough ; then loss in weight ; then a harder cough ; then the fever , the night sweats , and hemorrhages. Better stop tha dUeaso while It ia yet creeping. You can do it with Cherry Pectoral Your cough disappears , your lungs ( ' heal , your throat becomes strong. Two sizes : $1.00 ; BOc. A core is hastened by placing 4 OTCT the chest one of Dr. Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral Plasters M CO. , Lewtu , Man. the higher apes have no tails they simply have the seven little bones the same aa man has. We suffer no particular Inconvenience from our seven little tall bone * jammed up together save when riding horstbarlor any long period of time. Many o' the higher monkeys have no more tall than wo pos sess. But this Is all there U to this ques tion. " "Do you attribute the phyMMl develop ment to an evolution of Ideals ; " "I don't know anything ubut that. That question belongs to mctnphyslci and with that I have nothing to do. " "Then you rather attribute It to environ ment and the survival of the fittest ? " "Yes , that Is the secret of the matter tha Interactions between the animal and his surroundings nnd the persistent destruction of such as were not adapted to life In the particular environment are the principal ele ments In growth. Simply stated , the sur vival of the fittest was the main clement of evolution , " "Do you recognize any parallel between the olmplo record of the successive stages of creation given In the first chapter of Genesis and the evolutionary philosophy of successive stages of cosmic nnd animal de velopment ? " "Genesis is ancient poetry , not scientific observations. When you Interpret poetry literally you make nonsense of it. Such things arc not literally true they are broadly and poetically true. " "Do you accept the nebular hypothesis as the explanation of cosmic origin ? " "Well , itho nebular hypothesis Is accepted by astronomers and I take their word for It. It is outside my own study. There seem very strong reasons for accepting it. I can see how a thing may not ] bo absolutely proven and yet uo reason exist for doubt- lug it. " "Your specialty in scientific research has been biology and that covers a pretty wide Held ? " "Yes ; It embraces sociology as well ns physiology. For our purposes the laws of llfo begin at cell llfo and wo follow them up fo the political and social phases of life. The cellular theory Is the basis of all ani mated life. So far as life Itself Is concerned wo have to treat the cell as a unit , al though the cell iteelf , ns a single cell , is just as complex ns a nation is ; but so far as the processes of llfo are concerned we have to treat the cell as a unit , because every cell counts one. " I xiilnlitliiK' the Cellular Theory. Prof. Jordan is having a now book pub lished by Appleton , covering the whole scope of the cellular itheory , which will be out lu November. Its title will bo "Foot Notes to Evolution. " Explaining the cellular theory , ho continued : "Wo begin at the single cell and learn Us qualities. Then wo come to consider the animals , In which the cells , instead of sep arating themselves from the parent cell , cling together and form colonies. Then we have the natural division of labor , some cells performing certain functions nnd being re lieved from certain other work. The animal or plant or man Is a colony of cells , in which the cells are gathered In groups , some of the groups having certain functions to perform and being relieved from others , wholly or partly. The same laws In general that gov ern cells govern nations. I wouldn't say that the same laws govern life itself , for the principle of llfo transcends our knowl edge of chemistry and physics and has to bo treated as partly separate from physical nnd chemical forces. A live cell differs from a dead cell , although its chemistry remains the ) same for all we know. " "Then the mystery of the 'promethean spark' Is ns great a mystery as ever ? May there not be an oxygenUj or aerial cause for animation , live cells being inflated and therefore buoyant and dead cells being Inert as In a state of collapse ? > May it bo that llfo Is due to the combustion resulting from the action of oxygen or some other element on matter ? " "Wo do not know the principle of life it self. It is true that live cells are compara tively buoyant and dead cells inert. As to combustion caused by the action of oxygen or some other clement on matter , we may have flro and still not have life. But physically and chemically considered there seems no difference between life and dead cells ; physiologically there is a great dif ference. " Some International ( IncMlonii. As science was getting into unfathomable depths the conversation turned upon inter national affairs , Prof. Jordan having been n member of the commission to settle the question of the Bering sea seal patrol. In this connection he explained : "Wo have n treaty with Russia and Japan that whatever England does they will do , and Russia's Interests are Identical with ours. I signed that treaty myself along with the representatives of the other powers. Japan is trying hard to live up to what is expected of a civilized nation , I have great respect for her efforts In this direction. "In the scaling matter It all depends upon what England does. Wo have offered to buy out the Canadian lleet and its rights and prospects. England consents to this , but Canada has held back to get the best pos sible bargain , particularly a bargain which will be popular in Canada nnd , so , good stuff for political campaign use. We want to leave the value of the fleet to arbitration and pay In cash. They In Canada want to be paid In free coal and tariff reductions. I believe the whole matter will bo honorably settled , but the right basis Is a cash basis. I don't believe lu trying to mix things that don't mix wo can't pny In trade by reduc tions of the tariff , for such would bo mixing the general interests of the people with something that Is special and local. The Canadians have wanted us to tratlo things which we couldn't deliver. "The present commission not only has charge of the seal interests but of every other great Interest between the two coun tries. H is composed mostly of senators now , appointed by President McKlnley last spring , our commission having then lapsed. Our work was settled , Great Britain and this country having agreed upon all the facts. The other commission Is to settle the financial phase. " "What do you think of the principle of arbitration in general and the proposition of the czar of Russia In favor of a peace congress and a general disarmament ? " Ccnr in n Sensible Ulan. "I think the czar Is a senaiblo man and Is quite In earnest. The lnj ; nations of Europe would not go into war because dy nasties would bo swept aw.iy like trash. The expenses of armament have been so great that the smaller nations arc being lorced into bankruptcy. 1'vo bcin among the farm ers of Italy and founJ them living wbclly upon comment mush because of the taxes for the state nnd church. One farm in the noithern part of Italy has u brick house full of holei caused by cannon balls and the proprietor is toj poor to mend them. In the province of Novara I saw where tboy bad gathered up b nnnn bones and piled up a uonurnent twenty feet high of them. Go through s > me 01 these farms and you will appreciate why Italy is so poor. " "But as to our own new problem of in ternationalism ? " , "Well , a * you already know , I am posi tively opposed to American expansion aud Imperialism. Look at the colonies wo al ready possess , In Alaska there is practically no government at nil. There are laws the laws of Oregon apply to Alaska but what la needed is a commission to enforce them. Cities there are so far apart that they do not know what is going on in one another. On the Klondike they have minors' law , which is almost lynch law. The United States has treated Alaska rather shabbily , principally because no one particularly careJ. Good government is expensive. You notice that notwithstanding the many men who lave come from Alaska with great rlchea the government has never got any money out of the territory for what It has put into it. U Is the same with all colonies. But this is a minor reason for my posi tion against Imperialism , a seemingly sordid ono , withal an Important economic one. Today wo have an army of 10,000 volunteers In the Philippines at , Bay $300 a year , which means $5,000,000 , yet the trade of the Phil ippine Islands , exports and imports , amounts to only 110,000,000 annually. All wo have is one corner of the Island of Luzon , which Is about one-halt the size of Nebraska , and 100,000 men cooped up in Manila , which Is about the population of Omaha squeezed into one-fourth the space of Omaha , to hold tbo Island. Moral im Well no Political. "There Is a very good reason that Is moral as well as being Intensely political from the point of view of the American ideal. The great majority of the Filipinos have never yet heard of Spain , much leas of the United States. This Is especially true of the Malay pirates of the southern Islands and the block Imps of the unex plored Interior , as capable of self-govern ment or of any other government as so many monkeys. It would not bo an easy and humane task to bring these folk to the extermination which some of the anncxa- tlonlsts placidly claim is the final doom of negrltos , Kanakas , Malays nnd all Inferior races who get in anybody's way. According to John Morley this Is England's experience in bringing peace to suffering humanity In the tropics : " 'First , you push on Into territories where you have no business to bo and where you have promised not to go ; second , your In trusion provokes resentment nnd In these wild countries resentment means resistance ; third , you instantly cry out that the people arc rebellious and that their act Is rebel lion ( this In spite of your own assurance that you have no intention of setting up a permanent sovereignty over them ) ; fourth , you send a force to stamp out the rebellion ; and fifth , having spread bloodshed , con fusion and anarchy , you declare , with hands uplifted to tbo heavens , that moral reasons force you to stay , for If you were to leave this territory would bo left lu a condition which no civilized power could contemplate with ) equanimity or with composure. These are the five stages in the Forward Rake's progress. ' "It was of England In Chltral that Morley said this , not of America In Luzon. " FUR THIEF IN JAIL AT LAST Mnn Who Stole iUmkcrt's Sklnx IlroiiKht Hack from Scuttle to Knee the Munit ! . After a chase from ocean to ocean nnd a stubborn thirty days' tight when cornered at Seattle , Wash. , to prevent his extradition and return to Omaha , the local police have at last landed In jail hero A. J. Smith , tha employe of O. E. Shukcrt , the furrier , who on Juno 23 last decamped with $2,500 worth of dressed rare skins. Smith arrived In Omaha yesterday afternoon at 4:30 In the custody of Henry Thompson , a Shukert em ploye , who had been deputized to go to Seattle to Identify Smith and bring him back. The prisoner Is a pitiful sight. He Is almost Wind and has to be led about like a child , and his sight Is growing worse dally. In a week or so ho will bo totally blind. When placed In a cell after his arrival yesterday Smith freely admitted that he stole the Bklns. He said he committed the act to raise money to have his eyes treated by an eminent cyo specialist In New York. Blindness , ho said , had been growing on him for some time before ho left Omaha. His affliction he attributed to working among the dry furs and skins In Shukert's establishment. Ho said that the stolen skins were shipped by him to Now York City on Juno 26. On their arrival ho placed them on exhibition In a storeroom on Fifty-ninth stree't , be tween Second nnd Third avenues. Ho sold some there and had an operation performed on his eyes. Learning that the poltco were on hts trail he frays he stored the skins and fled to Philadelphia and from there to Seattle , Wash. , where he was captured two months after under the name of J. iMartln. He refuses to tell where In New York ho stored the furs ho did not have an oppor tunity to sell. Ho evades all questions re garding them by saying he forgot the street and number of the storage house. Smith's fight against extradition at Seattle cost him all he had , 1400 and a gelS watch. The case was dragged out over thirty days by various means. It was finally decided against him. When tha prisoner was turned over to Thompson , the Omaha special officer , ho checkmated Smith's attorneys , who weio planning to prevent his removal by legal means , by smuggling his prisoner aboard the steamer Flyer and taking him to Tacoraa , Wash. From that cty | he brought him to Omaha. A complaint charging him with grand lar ceny and larceny as bailee will bo sworn out against Smith by Mr. Shukcrt. LOCAL POLITICAL RALLIES Republican County Committee Ar range * for a Number of Ml'etlnifM Durlni ; CoiuliiK Week. Republicans of Douglas county win hear from numerous orators from now on until the polls open on election day. The county committee has billed a number of meetings , and the campaign will be opened next week. South Omaha will start the ball rolling on Monday night at Blum's hall , when an the candidates on the state ticket will be pres ent. Prot. J. F. Saylor , candidate for state superintendent , will make the principal ad- drees , dealing entirely with questions at- fectluc laboring Interests. The other candi dates will make short addressee , more as an Introduction to the voters of that city. During the coming week three big meetIngs - Ings win be held at Crelghton hall. The first wltl bo under the auspices of the Swedish- American Republican club and will be ad dressed by Congressman Mercer , Judge Sla- baugh and E. J. Cornish. The second will be on Thursday night under the direction nt the Colored Republican club , at which the countv candidates will speak. The third will be on Saturday night , conducted by the Union Veterans' Republican club , with countv candidates as the speakers. At each of these meetings a band will bo present to furnish music and a glee club will sing. During the coming week other meetings have been billed bv the county committee , to be addressed by local speakers and county candidates , as follows : Monday Evening Eighth ward , Twenty- fourth and Cumtuc streets lu Saunders hall. Tuesday Evening Ninth ward , Twenty- ninth and Farnam streets , and at Waterloo. Wednesday Evening First ward , nt Forest hall : Second ward , at Frand's hall ; Sixth ward , at Thirty-second nnd Ames ; at Val ley , and at the republican headquarters In Patterson block , under the ausulcus of the Laboring Men's Republican club. The executive commute of the county com. rulttee met last night and allowed a few bills , but no action was taken on calling a meeting of the county committee. Chair man Durbank says the , commltttce may be called together during the coming week. V. B. Walker , legislative candidate on the republican ticket , denies that ho contem plates withdrawing from the ticket in favor of Rev. James C. C. Owens. He saye there Is not enough money In the campaign to Induce him to withdraw. Hear ThU In Mind. There is no oolum or other harmful sub stance ID Chamberlain's Couch Remedy.

GERMAN DAY PARADE PLANS Great Historio and Allegorical Pageant to Pasa Through the Streets Today , COMMITTEES HAVE DETAILS ALL ARRANGED Flontn UepreacntliiK Incident * in Ger- ninit Legendary Lore nnd IIlNtory , with ExuortM Appropriately COK- turned , to Move nt 1 O'clock. Today is a continuation of German day of the last week , for this afternoon the grand historical parade and pageant which was to have occurred last Tuesday in connection with the celebration of German day , but was postponed ou account of the bad weather , will take place. It will start promptly at 1 o'clock from Turner hall and after travers ing the principle streets of the city will proceed to the exposition grounds. The delay lifts worked to the advantage of this event in the G'.rman celebration. The executlvo committee which originally ar ranged it was unab'e to make" " all necessary preparation on account of other duties. Since that time , however , the members have com pleted all preparations and after a meeting last night announced that everything was ready for what they promised to be ono of .tbo llnest street processions seen in Omaha during the exposition year. The principal feature of the line will be a scries of some fifteen floats , which will picture the progress of th fatherland from the earliest known times to the present. A considerable amount of tlmo and labor has these productions and been expended upon they are said to bo very attractive nnd hand some. All of them have been donated by societies of this city , with ono exception. That float Is the donation of the Bennlngton society. Another Interesting section of the line will be the first division , which consists of n group of well known characters of Germany 01. horseback. The great emperors , Her man , Carl , Blaubart , Rudolph of Hapsburg , Kurfuest , Frederick and William will bo represented. Each will bo accompanied by his official suite. These characters will be attired In the appropriate costumes of the period in which they lived. Four buglers from the Second Nebraska Volunteer Infantry will lead the line and the music will be furnished by a number of bands. W. F. Stoecker will act as the mar shal of the parade and ho will bo assisted by the following aids in command of the various divisions : Oberst Busch , Landwehr vcroln ; Max Becht , Schwaben vereln ; George Hoffman , Bavarian vereln ; A. Schoedsack , Orpheus society ; John Busch , Plattdeutcher vereln ; P. Laux , St. Peter's vereln ; 51. Kracher , Austro-Hungarian voreln ; Jacob Hess , Schweitzer vereln ; H > nry Voss , Bennlngton ; Dr. Krusc , Millard - lard ; Henry Denker , Elkhorn. These three last societies will bring big representations and the Plattsmouth society Is also expected tn be In the parade. The local bodies will turn out In full. The parade will form in the vicinity of Turner hall nnd Is scheduled to start promptly at 1 o'clock. It will pass over the following route : Harney to Sixteenth , Six teenth to Howard , Howard to Fifteenth , Fifteenth to Farnara , Farnam to Thirteenth , Thirteenth to Douglas , Douglas to Six teenth , Sixteenth to the grounds. The procession is to bo met by Major Clarkson at the entrance to the grounds. Once inside the line will disband. The cele bration on the grounds consists of a portion of the program of the Innes band. Director Innes has arranged a program of German music for the especial enjoyment of the visi tors. Judut > Gordon OMAHA. Oct. 22. To the Editor of The Bee : In your report of proceedings In police court in The Bee of lost evening you do me an inlustlce. For some unknown reason comparisons are drawn between thr dismissal of two felony case * and the im position of a penalty In two minor canes In the two former cases dismissals were entered on motion of the assistant county attorney. It is the county attorney's duty to Invcstlcato into rases and prosecute or dismiss as the circumstances warrant. Oil- IjEW DEPARTURE * 11 LAUNDRY WORK , .

A court that would undertake on ita own motion to force a defendant to trial after the orosocutor had moved to dismiss would not only ulaco itself In a ridiculous attitude , but would show such malice or bias as to render it unfit to give a fair and impartial trial. Any judge that would act as judge and prosecutor would not only stultify himself , but would , and rlchtlv too. leave himself open to Impeachment. In both these cases the county attorney moved to dismiss because the complaining wit ness in each case refused to prosecute. In the two minor cases referred to one was a boy who had repeatedly been before the police court for petty offenses , and the other ( Lelscnberc ) la a chronic thief , who for upward of ten years et the approach of cold weather purposely commits petit lar ceny BO as to get into the county jail to spend the winter. Why a comparison should be drawn between these cases I do not know unless your reporter was actuated by ninllco or Is not fully cognizant of the practice in Nebraska courts ns directed by the statutes.

L'lonlnit tlic Htoek Show. There was just about as much activity around the stock pens yesterday us at any tlmo since the close of the Hvo stock show. All of the exhibitors were busy getting their animals < to the cars or in checking up with the exposition management for the purpose of ascertaining just how much money they had earned In premiums. Friday it was thought that all of the barns would bo cleaned of horses , sheep and cattle yesterday , but last night there wcro numerous animals In their stalls and now It is evident that the last of the exhibits will not be removed before Monday night. Some delay has been experienced in the matter of getting cars up to the grounds , owing to the fact that there ore so many side tracks and also because it seems that all of the exhibitors seem anxious to get away at about the same tlmo. Much of the stock th'at remains Is being sold , numerous fanners having come In since the close of the show. All of the animals are bringing top * prices , prices far ohead of those ob tained at other fairs. The owners comment on this fact and say that there seems to bo a general desire among the wcstorn farmers and ranchers to bring up the qual ity of their stock. MetncntoN for Indlnii * .
