ROSS Addressed Fifth Anail Methnf of Anericai Academy l Political iod Social Sclcicc oa "Causes of Race Suptriority." PHILADELPHIA. April 13.- The flfth annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science began he"re ywterday and was contin ued throughout today. There was a full attendance of the membership of the academy. The General topic of dis cussion was "Amerlca'a Hace Prob lems," and the many phases of that subject were ably discussed by men well known the country over. The annual address was delivered last night by Professor Edward A. Ross, for merly of Lei and Stanford. Jr.. Univer sity, and now member of the fac ulty of the University of Nebraska, who spoke of the "Causes of Race Su periority." Prof. Ross aaid In part: "The first cause of race superiority to which I Invite your attention is a psychological trait, namely, climatic adaptability. Just now It is a grave question whether the flourishing and teeming people of the north temperate gone can provide outlets for their sur plus population In the rich hut undevel oped lands of the tropes- Their super iority, economic and mlllUry. over the peoples under "he vertical sun is be yond cavil. But can they assert and profit by this superiority save by Im- posing on the natives of the tropics the j odious and demoralising servile rela tion. Can the white nnn work and multiply In the triples or will his role e limited :o commercial and Indus trial exploitation at a rafe distance by means of a changing male contingent of Roldlera, officials, business agents, plan ters and overse-rs? The answer Is not yet sure, but the facta bearing on ac climation are not comforting to our iace." Prof. Ross then went on to show that while the Anglo-Saxon la not as suc cessful as might be wished In adapt ing himself to tropical climates, the Mongolian thrive In any xone. 'Said he: "The next truth to which I Invite your attention is that one race may "surpass another In energy. The average of individual energy Is not a fixed race attrihute. for new varieties are con stantly being created by migration. The voluntary unassisted nigrations of in dividuals to lands of opportunity tend i always to the Jpbuilding of i'ighly energetic communities and peoples. In America before the days of exaggerate 1 immigration the emigrants were physi cally taller than the people from which they sprang, the differences amounting In some instances to an average of more than an inch. The Ken tiickians and the Texans have become proverbial for stature, while the surpris ing tallness of the ladies that will be found shopping of an afternoon on Kearney street. In San Francisco, tes tlfes to the bigness of the 'forty-niner?.' "There Js no doubt that the form of society which a race adopts Is potent to arrest or to release jta energy. In this respect Americans are peculiarly fortunate, for their energies are stlrau lated to the utmost by democracy, "Closely related to energy Is the vir- fisher's Opera House L.

Now It Is thl latter quality self-reliance which chiSracterlaes those who have migrated the oft" n-'st and have migrated as In dividuals. 'The American's faith In himself and cniflJence In the friendliness of the un known may be due to his enlighten ment; but It Is .nnre llktdy the unnp piehtnsiveness that runs In the blod of a pioneering br;ed. "For economy greatness perhaps no "luallty is more Important than fore sight. "Since undr modern conditions abun dant production Is bound up not so much with patient toll as with the pos session of ample capital, it Is evident that. In the economic rivalry cf races, the palm goes to the race that dis counts the future least and is willing to exchange present pleasures for Tuture graduation most oearly at par. The power to do this depends partly on a lively imagination of remote experiences to come, partly on the self-control that can deny present cravings or resist temptation In favor of the thrifty course recommended by reason. "We may in Met distinguish two types of men. the sensorl-motor moved by sense-impressions and by sensory Images and the Idea-motor moved by ideas. For ;t Is probable that the prov ident races do not accumulate simply from the liveliness of their antivlpi tlon of future wants or gratifications, but from the domination of certain ideas. The race that can make Ideas the lode stirs of life Is certain to sup plant a race of Impulsivists absorbed in sensations and recollection or iin:! cipations of sensations. "Between the economic type and the military type there Is abrupt contract and the social situation cann.'t well favor them both at the same time. The warrior shows passionate courage and the sway of Impulse and imagination. The trader Is calculating, counts the cost and prizes a whole skin. From :h first century. R. C., the substitution of this type for the old heroic Oinclnnatus type went on so rapidly that a recen' writer fln.ts ronc-nita! ..lWAnliee til be billty during the empire. We all know the brilliant picture that Mr. Rrooks Adams In his "Law of Civilization and Decay' has given of the replacement of the military by the economic type in western Europe since the crusades. '"If this hypothesis be sound the value-perceiving sense is to be looked for In old races that have long known cities, money and trade. The Jew came under these Influences at least twelve centuries earlier than did our Teuton ancestors and has therefore had about forty or fifty generation the start of us in becoming economic. Eiual or even greater is the lead of the China man. It is then no wonder that 'he Jews and the Chinese are the most for midable mercantile -aces in the world today. "In direct competition with the more conimie type the Anglo-Saxon is han dicapped by lack of patience and finan cial acumen, but still his virtues in sure him a rich portion. His energy ar.rt selfreliance locate him in ci'les and in the spacious, thriving parts of the earth wh-?re the economic reward is highest. Warfare is becoming a costly form of competition and struggle in which nations phed each other's treas ure rather than each other's blood. "At the same time tha: war is grow ing more expensive it is Vecr'ming less nrofitahle. Wealth is a means of pro curing victory but victory Is no longer a means of procuring wealth. A non martial race may easily become victor ious bv means of its prosperity but It will be harler and harder for a non economic race to become prosperous by means rf its vlc'ories "Hencefjrth this principle of cosmo politanism must have to te reckoned with; Even If the Chinese have not y?t unfinished the armies cf the West ;yith Mauser rifles supplied from EkI glum, there is no reason why that me locre and intellectually sterile rjee may not yet defeat us industrially by the aid of our Edisons and Marconis." INTERNATIONAL TRACK MEET. Preparations Being Made bv Yale and Harvard to Contest With Oxford and Cambridge Men. NEW HAVEN. Conn., April 13.-The Yale and Harvard track athletic team managers will meet in Springfield. Mas sachusetts, early next wet-k to dls.-uss the answer from Cambridge and Ox ford to the challenge for the Interna tional track meet. The letter is ex pected by Sunday at the latest. Sherman L. Coy, manager of thp 7ale team, said last night: "Yale will not hold out for July, eith er early or late, if that month would make acceptance impossible. We should greatly prefer it for our convenience and do not' like to have the meet In Septemb-r, but if it is necessary we shall probably consent. It will depend upon Harvard's position on that point. "Yale is willing to have the program of the nine events which the Rritish universities request, Just the same as In the meet of 1899. We are willing to drop the 220-yard hurdle, the pole vault and shot put." The annual dual games between Yale and Harvard track teams will be held In this city on May 11. SCHLEY COMING HOME.

Change In Course ot Massacre River Ikely to Iead to War Ret ween Haytl and Santo Domingo. (Correspondence of Assoolited Press.) KINC.SrON. Jamaica, April i.-The following statement of the causes lead ing up to the iveently developed boun dary trouble between the republics of llavtl and Santo Iomlngi and of the present condition of affairs. Is furnished by persons Just returned from the Isl and: What is known as the Dominican Re public, or Santo Domingv), was once a province of the republic of Haytl. in ISM the internal troubles and state of anarchy which then prevailed (as a result f the revolution which over threw the government of President Roy er after twenty-five years In oftlcel fa cilitated and was the cause of the se cession of the eastern portion of the Island, which then proclaimed Its Inde pendence. The existence of the new republic " recognised by the Hay lien government In 1ST. The question of the delimitation of the frontiers arose naturally from the fact that the e iii iy f the IXunln Uan Republic is not and never has been defined. This important and delicate question was finally, by mutual con sent, submitted to the arbitration of his holiness. Pope I.eo XIII. In conse- luence of certain points raised as to the powers accorded his holiness, the two governments ttren uvidsl over by Oeneril Simon Sam and Ulysses Heu- reux) signed a convention by which It was agreed to appoint a mlx.M Haytien- IVmlnlcan commissi. n with full powers to define and settle the boundaries lie-tw-vn the two republics, such boundar ies to be based n the respective po sitions in 1S74. This commission met at Anses-a-PI- tres In January. 1S99. and Immediately set to work. In spite of explicit terms of the Stm-Heureux convention, which ipulated that the utl possidetis of tST4 should be taken as the base for the de- imitation, the Dominican commission ers openly declared that they would on ly abide by the provisions of this clause so long as it would be favorable to their Interests. In order to explain this stand n the part of the Dominican representatives it might be stated that. Immediately after the signing of the convention, the Dominican governmet.t had caused to be occupied several points along tie disputed frontier, which occupation lb Haytlens regarded as an encroachment on their territory at points from which Haytien trllps had been wthdrawn in rder to facilitate an amicable settle ment of the dispute. In the end this mixed commission separated without having In any way improved the situ ation. The incident that has recently occur red at Philobert r the northern fron tier, and which gr- i'- ' irg-rs the friendly relations of the sister repub lics is considered hy the Haytiens to be premeditated provocation on the part of the Dominicans. The Haytien posts established In that district to put down smuggling and brigandage from over the border have had to defend them selves against repeated attacks. Ry mutual consent the river Massacre, which divides the Dominican province of Dajabon from Haytien territory, h.is for a long time been provisionally ac cepted by both governments as the nat ural boundary of the two states. All thj country on the right bank of the river was acknowledged to belong to Santo Domingo whilst the country on the left bank was regarded hy both governments as Haytien territory. And hereby hangs a funny and in teresting tale. The Dominicans, a year or two ago, conceived a brilliant idea. Knowing that nature sometimes makes rivers In the tropics change their. cour ses, it occurred to some people residing On the right bank ot the stream that they might add considerably to Domini can territory If they could manage to effect a deviation In the bed of the Mas Wben the accompanied by mucous patches in the mouth, erup tions on Ibe skin, ot throat, copper Colored SDlotches. lair Falls Alflt swollen glands, achint? muscles If III "id bones, the disease is making VUB rapid headway, and far worse symptoms will follow unlesa the blood is promptly ana enectuauy cicauscu i m violent aesirucuvc puisuu.

THE IWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA. 'mil km iJi WW .PW aWV sacre. And no! sooner thought than attempted. Huge boulders anil trunks of ir.vs wore repeatedly rolled Into the river. This, the llaytlens say, with the knowledge and connivance of the Dom inican government. Hut up the date of the commencement of the prencnt troubles all such attempts to improve upon nature proved unavailing. For the H tytlens on the left bank discovered the little scheme anil time after time removed the obstacles In the river be fore damage was done. However, within couple of weeks ago. a remarkable thing happened. The Haytien soldiers at I'hlloberi. situated on Haytien leiTlluy on the left bank of the Massacre river, retired to rest one night. When they awoke the nex. moiiilnif they looked in vain tor the river. The bed over which the water had previously Mowed was dry. Inves tigations followed and It wis found that the river was (lowing over u new chan nel some miles to the west. Of course the Dominicans discovered ml that the river had changed Us bed In the course of a night but that the Havtien soldier had trinsfenvd some substantial buildings some miles into the Interior of Santo IKunlnno In the spice of a single setting and rising of the sun. The Dominium representa tives appeared immediately upon what was Haytien territory the tny before and called upon th llayl-n othYer to remove his posit ion to the other side of the river. Tile Dominican officer who 'made the demand expressed the Indig- nt'lon of his government at the con temptible action of the Hayiieiis. The Havtlens, however, refused to i withdraw their post, calling instead on the loininicaiis to restore the river to Its original bed. Then the trouble com menced. There was a clash of ar lis. The H.ivtlens had the upp'r hand ind si the Dominicans agreed to hive the whole niatt-r decided by arbitration. Meintlme the Iviminlcans Uiv quiet ly preparing for war; and there Is a strong feeling in Hayti that there will h a clash of arms before the qu-s-tlon of arbitration is settled The Hay tien troops along the frontier have h-eti reinforced and are now quietly await ing the coming of the Dominic iiih to force them from their own territory to the opposite side of the liver.
