ABOUT PORTO RICO

Porto Rice is in area over one thou sand square miles smaller than the state of Connecticut, but it has pep ulation estimated at S0U,000. To a certain extent the problem cf the fu- ture Of Porto Rico is an experiment, but the United States began it's career as an experiment and every effort in the experimental line has peen satfs- factory.
 There is Q captious complaint that we cannot assimilate the Spanish speaking people there and that confu- sion and all sorts of things will fcl- low. Judging from the attitude of the inhabitants of the island when the American army of invasion landed there, and their behavior since, all doubt should vanish The Porto Ricans for the greater part are pleased with the change Of owners and they may be expected to assist the new home gov ernment in the process Of readjust- ment With American ideas fully and effectively enforced the island will i'm prove as it could never improve under the ignorant and sluggish policy Of Spain With health regulations en- forced. with the building Of school houses, with the introduction of Amer ican methods of business, and with tihe help Of American brains and capital, the island will begin a new life.
 We have no fears whatever as to the outcome of the experiment. It was an experiment in 1867, when the United States paid less than eight millions of dollars for Alaska, with an area Of 565, ,S62 square miles. That great coun- try has never besn a burden to the pur- chaser and it has, instead, returned in mineral wealth the purchase price over and over again. The population there, it is true, is insignificant, yet it is grad ually increasing and in time it vii be one Of the richest possessions We have. The Alaska experiment was a success, just as the various other experiments that led to the creation of a nation reaching from ocean to ocean and from the gulf to the British posse essions proved to be success after success. Wherever the United States has ex- tended its territory it has reapsd a harvcst of wealth and national strength.
 Porto Rico is but a small compsnsa- tion for the millions Of dollars exPend- ed by this country in the interests of humanity, and nc compensation can be made for the loss Of hundreds of good men during the brief struggle and since. Every great movement costs men and money, and the people Of the United States will never cease to honor and revere these who have fallen iii battle and died from disease. The vic tcry was grand one, but mingled with the expressions of satisfaction at the result will be the tears shed for those who gave their lives to rescue a long suffering people from brutal thraldom. But such is war.

WHY Interference is improbable

The American newspapers are wasting
a good deal Of ink in discussing tho
question whether any Of the European
great Powers are likely TO interfere I'm
their war with Spain, and specializing on
what would be our attitude were this
the case. They mi rest certain that
no European power has ever had the re-
hottest intention to interfere or has ever
dreamed Of imposing terms of accom-
mediation on one or other OF the belii
gerents. while all or any would be ready
il asked 10 act as a medium of nego-
tiation with a view to peace.
The object of modern diplomacy. when
a wal arises between two great nations,
is to localize ii, and thus to prevent its
spreading. In the first Italian war be-
tween France and Italy, which resulted
ia the loss TO the latter of Lombardy, in
the Austro-German war, and In the Fran

about some powers wanting to interfere

such Interference must not take place, is

All this is now go generally understood

REST0RMEL Is RELEASED
But Her Cargo is Condemned a s Con-
traband of War.

KEY WEST. FLA. June 2.-In the
United States District Court to-day
Judge Locke rendered a decision, con-
demning the cargo of coal Of the British
steamer Restormel, seized on Monday
as she was trying TO run the blockade.
Judge Locke's decision releases the Res
tormeI. The court held that the ques-
ton for It TO decide was whether, at the
time of the charter and shipment the
owners of the vessel knew or should
be held TO have known that she was
carving contraband of war 10 aid the
beIigerents. II being shown that the
Restormel sailed previous to the de-
claration Of war. the presumption OF
innocence was raised, and there being
no evidence that the owners were will
fully and knowingly guilty Of aiding the
belligerent feet 10 coal, the steamer IS
ordered TO be released.
As TO the coal cargo. the vessels re-
rka movements from San Juan
To Curacao. and then on the Spanish
Consul's order TO Santiago de Cuba, CON

QUAY THE WINNER.
His Candidate Nominated for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.

ernor Of Pennsylvania.
HARRISONBURG. PA, June 1.-THE
Republican State Committee met in this
city to-day and nominated a party ticket
that is TO be submitted to the voters TINS
fall Congressman William A. Stone, Of
Allegheny, was named for Governor.
There was scarcely any opposition 10
the programme for the work of the con-
vention as outlined by Senator quay ana
his lieutenants, those opposed to the nom
nation of Mr. Stone for the head of the
ticket c%ontenting themselves with the
concentration OF their vote on Charles w.
Stone.
The vote was close for the Quay adher-
ents. Stone receiving only fifteen more
votes than the number necessary to a
choice. The 163 votes cast for c. w. Stone
represented the combined strength Of that
candidate and John Wanamaker.
The latter provided the only sensation
Of an otherwise cut and dried conven-
ton by presenting a letter of withdrawal.
In which he denounced the methods of
the dominant Republican faction and
urged his friends to support G. w. Stone.
Mr.. Wanamaker's retirement from the
fight came as a startling surprise to his
delegates. and it Is understood that he
determined upon that course only a short
time before his letter was read to the
convention.
The withdrawal is interpreted TO mean
that MIR. Wanamaker has placed himself
in a position to run as an. Independent
candidate for Governor If he so elects.
He has repeatedly in his speeches serv-
ed notice on the convention hat if w A.
Stone was nominated he would continue
TO fight the Quay organization.

SPRINGFIELD, O.. June Especial
General Fitzhugh Lee. the hero of Hav-
ana, will lead his command. the Seventh
Army Corps in which are two Ohio regi-
ments, the Third and the fifth Volunteers
to Porto Rico for the conquest OF that
island, and after that Is accomplished.
will it is stated, be made military COVER
nor of the island by President McKin-
ley.
The news. which is authoritative
reached here to-day from Tampa. Fla.
where the two Ohio regiments are nov
encamped. They are to be moved at
once 10 Jacksonville. Fla. where Lees
command is modified.
Additional weight IL given TO the
statement OF Lees plan by the fact that
Jacksonville has been selected for this
concentration. Being on the east coast
1t is admirably located geographically
for the embarkation of troops for Porto
Rico.
No information is given as to how soon
the expedition will start, but the hasty
mobilization of troops at the point
named would Indicate it is not far OFF.
