. THREE MONITORS WORTHLESS.

Philadelphia, March 17.-At7 League
Island navy yard today, it was learned
that the board Of experts who examined
the eight monitors, have decided that
three Of them, the Canonicus, Mahopac
and Lehigh are useless and cannot be
nut in condition for service. These three
were today returned to their old moor
jngs in the back basin. The others five,
the Nnhant, Jason, Catskill and Manhat-
tan, can be fitted out for harbor defence.
The principal work required on them is
to lay new docks. and make few minor
repairs to the machinery.
Commandant Casey said today that the
monitors could be made effective as de-
tenders of torpedo fields or where they
oould be anchored in shallow water and
their big guns used to advantage. The
battering capacity OF these guns, out of
date as they are, Is formidable, and ap-
pearances indicate that they will be re-
tained in their old turrets. Ammunition
for these 15-inch muZZle. leaders, smooth
bores. has been ordered and is now being
prepared at the government magazines at
Fort Miff1in.
WON'T INVADE PORTO RICO.
New York, March 17.-Speaking of a
Havana despatch to the effect that an in
being planned by the Cuban residents of
the United States, Estrada Palma of the
Cuban Junta said today:
'sThe Cubans would neither invade
Porto Rico nor incite an insurrection. 1t
would not accord with their policy. If,
however, an insurrection broke out, the
insurgents would have the sympathy and
all possible cooperation of the Cubans.
The fight would be against q common
enemy. The Junta has not been advised
that revolution is imminent. No propo-
sitions are being made here for an fnva-
sion Of the island"
Gen. Jose La Cret Morla, who 1t is said
would have command of the expedition
has been in New York for two weeks on
an official mission. He may remain
several weeks longer.

learn what, If anything had been done.
Not until late hour this evening was
the correspondent of the Associated Fress
able to ascertain from Rear AdmlraI
Sicard the status Of the investigators: !:
Admiral Slcard said: 'It is 1mpossiploe
at this stage to say how soon the ooWrS u.l -
will be ready to make it's report. Inc
members are continuing their laDors.
When they are ready to reexam1ne Glio
officers of the Maine whom l have de-
tained here they will either do SO IN tne
Federal building or summon them to the
Iowa."
Before reaching Washington the report
must pass through the hands of Rear Al
miral Sicard. If it did not leave here to-
day it could not reach Washington by
Saturday. There is good authority for the
assertion that the court will probably re
turn to Havana before reaching Its con-
clusions.

NO WORLDS nIOycLE RECORDS.
Arrangements by which the Deficiency ia
to be Supplied.

Baltimore, Jan. 10.-Chairman Mott.
of the l.. A. w. racing board. has re-
ceiycd letter from Henry Sturmeier.
of Coventry, Eng, secretary of the In
ternational Cyclists Union, stating
that there are no Official worlds rae
ing records Mr.. Mott began an inves-
tigation of the matter at the time Ed
ward McDuffie of Boston tried for re-
cords on the Willow Grove track at
Philadelphia. McDufiie's remuneration
depended somewhat on whether he sue
cecded in breaking or equaling worlds
records. He did some remarkable rid
ing. tieing Stocks of England at i:35 20
for the mile. Several other records
were clipped. Then McDuiiie claimed
pay for worlds records.
Mr.. Mott allowed the records and re-
corded them as official for this country
or within the Jurisdiction of the l.. A.
w. When asked whether he would
certify officially that they We're world s
records, he said he could not do so. He
believed them to be worlds records
but had no documents to sustain his
belief. Mr.. Mott says he saw that 1t
was hardship. both for the promoters,
who went to the expense of providing
PAGERS. and for the man who made the
records. to have the matter left uncer-
tain and he wrote to Secretary Stur-
meier to inquire whether there was not
some way of settling the matter. Mr..
Sturmier suggests that each organiza-
ton send him its official records on
January for each year. He will then
compile them and send copies to racing
board chairmen or similar officers
throughout the world so that each may
decide for himself what are worlds
records.

AT 1850 y. in., on motion of Mr.. Davis

the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
| The Hawaiian treaty was not taken
up Immediately in the executive ses-
/ sion, n number of nominations being

| Immediately after the treaty was
called up, Senator Pettigrew offered his
motion for conducting the debate on It
! in the open Senate. which was antag-
| onized by Senator Davis, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations. and
others, the principal portion of the de-
| bate for the first two hours Of the
session being upon this motion. 1t was
contended on the one hand that there
| was no reason for observing secrecy
in presenting the question because, as
was alleged, there was no point in
| volved which could not have been thor
oughly canvassed before and which
might not be discussed before the world
at large.
on the other hand, 1t was held that
the Chinese question, which would
necessarily enter the discussion, might
prove to be somewhat delicate.
The opinion was also expressed that
the debating of the treaty in open Sem
ate would have the effect of prolong
ing the final determination Indefinitely.
A majority of those favoring open
doors are opposed to ratification, but
not all of them are on that side of the
main controversy.
The Senate decided not to debate the
Hawaiian question in open session.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The Field Column
bian Museum is to have the only series
of authentic casts of the Pubic peo-
pie In existence. There are n few casts
made from negroes and pictures at
Washington and European museums as
well as very few authentic casts
but Is has been most difficult to get
casts of these strange people. The
casts to be set up in the Field
Museum We're made in the last month
under the direction of Geo. A. Dorsey,
curator Of the museum, and by F. Il.
Melville, the sculptor who had done
the same kind of work before. These
two have made their trip to the Pueblo
village of Oraibi in the western mesas
of Arizona and against many odds have
brought away the casts and the prop
critics for making a most remarkable
display of the Pueblos. The figures
include a weaver, two women grinding
corn, a bread maker, potter, boomer
and thrower, bride and two katchlna
figures. The men. women and children
from whom the casts We're made, in al
most every case sold the clothes which
they wore to the scientists and the fig
ures will be CARRIED In these when
they are ready for exhibition.
