IS no United States court there before
which declaration of intention can be
fled, and, in fact, no machinery at all
which can be put in motion to change
citizenship.
Inquiry upon this subject at the state
department discloses the fact that 1t
has been usual to provide for a bodily
transfer of the citizenship Of the in
habitants conditioned as those in Porto
Rico in the treaty of peace which ter
inmates a war. It may be prudent for
the commission at Paris to avoid any
reference to Porto Rico again, in which
case congress would be called upon by
the president to confer citizenship upon
the Porto Rtcans in the same act with
that which must be passed to provide a
reliable form of government for the ISL
and. Should either Of these courses be
found lmpracticable, however, it is said
at the department that international
law in it's operation would confer Amer
lean citizenship upon these Porto Ric-
ems, the general principle being that
where a treaty Of cession is silent upon
the question citizenship changes with
the soil. In the case of the acquisition
of New Mexico, the residents Of the ter
ritCry were given American citizenship
by specific provision Of the treaty.

PORTO RICAN FINANCE:
1t Is Said to Be In a Very Chaotic
State.

State.
LONDON, Oct 1S.-The San Juan cor
respondent OF the Times says:
The remodeling Of the currency and
banking systems is among the most
serious Porto Rican problems confront
ing the United States. The attempt Of
the military authorities to establish ex-
change on the basis of two Porto Rican
dollars to one American has complete
" failed. An arbitrary change from
the existing silver basis to the United
States currency would restrict produc
tion in every branch Of industry and
create much discomfort among the in
habitants. 1t is not unlikely that there
will be complications with France If
the United States refuses to recognize
Spain's concession to the French rail-
way company in Porto Rico. Many of
the existing concessions are monopolies,
and, as such, contrary to the Amer
lean constitution, but local opinion de-
mands that they be respected.
Education Is the most difficult prob
lem of all. A great majority of the
Porto Ricans are in the densest igno-
rance. The parish priests do not favor
instruction, believing that 1T tends to
ALLEVIATE the youth from the Spanish
Catholic church. If the United States
can obtain the friendly cooperation of
the priesthood, many troubles will be
| removed, but 1t will be necessary for
the American authorities to act In such
a manner toward the church In Porto
| Rico as to eradicate the strong preju-
| dices against Americans now very
| widely held there.

MINNEAPOLIS DOES BETTER.
The Registration Reaches the Re-
spectacle Total of $1,000.

spectacle Total of $1,000.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 1S.-The total
registration today was about 300. Re-
turns from all Of the districts have not
been secured, but representative dis
tricts in both Republican and Demo
cratic wards have reported, and fair
estimate of the result can be obtained.
The total registration the first day
two years ago, was 20,913 males, and
the present estimate Is that the regis
tration the first day this year IS about
2,70C or 5000 behind the first registra-
tion day two years ago. This is not as
great a falling off as was really eX-
pected. The naturalization law was
supposed to have played havoc with the
vote and it has cut considerable figure.
General apathy, 1t was claimed, would
also have a depressing effect on the
total, but this does not seem to have
been the case.
If the two registration days to come
have as favorable reports as today, the
total falling off in registration will not
be more than 5000, If it reaches that
figure, and this is about what the poll
ticians have conceded.
Complete returns were received last
night from seventy-ope out of the en-
tire 1S9 districts. EHhe total registra-
ton reported by The e seventy-one dis
tricts was 9,377, or aRa average of 1872 to
a district. These districts included
practically all of the First, Second and
Eighth wards, and goodly portion Of
the Fourth and Fifth wards, with other
districts scattered all over the city.
