The Diatinguiahed Officer High in the British Service. Was to ,be Tried on Seri ous Charges. On Wednesday a dispatch from Calambo, Ceylon, said charges 6f the most serious nature have been brought against Major General Sir Hector Mao.. Donald, commanding ihe forces in Ceylon, in-consequence of which the governor of that island. Sir Joseph West 1 iidgeway; has been authorized to convene a courtmartial to try General MacDonald. The lafer, when the charges was tiled sometime ago, went to England from Ceylon to confer with his friends and superior officers and he started to return and face the etiarges, which it is alleged,, are based on immoral" acts. -—- But it seems he, feared to face the. charges, as he committed suicide at the Hotel Regima on Wednesday in Paris.

The Medical News, a Widely known journal published In Ne'w York city, is aroused by the recent discussion of the race issue to comment upon Negro Supremacy from a Medical Standpoint/’ In an editorial upon that subject-in its issue of February 28 the Medical News states that in leading papers of the North and South have appeared editorials of great acumen and power, “but none seem as yet to have dealt, except in a superficial manner, with the race problem as seen from a biological, ethnological or medlcah standpoint.” The News continues: One cannot intelligently answer the question whether the negro can take a place in the social and econo mic progress of the nation without being in possession of the main mor phological differences between th’e Caucasian and the-' African, sincef these are the fundament&l bases for mental, and moral discrepancies be tween the races.
