the first day of the special session of
the legislature he wonders if Portland
is in oregon. or Oregon in Portland.
The city got away with nearly every
thing that was in sight. and now its
bothersome charter is to come up to
the exclusion of everything else that
is of Importance to the state, except
the election of senator, and Portland
has about all the candidates for that
office.

PORTO RICO DESIRES
4 CIVILIAN GOVERNOR
CONFERENCE OF THE ISLANDERS
The President to Re Asked for n
Statesman Rather Than n Sol
dicr for Governor.

San Juan. Porto Rico. Dec. 5.-The pub
hcation here of what purported to be
forecast of President McI<in,ey,s message
to Congress, which stated that no action
would be taken to establish self-govern-
ment for the island for at least a year.
resulted in bringing Il number of promi
nent Americans and Porto Ricans togethe-
on Saturday to discuss the situation. The
opinion was expressed that the laws are
administered with little consideration for
the business interests of the island, the
This was evidenced by an attempt TO col
lect the taxes of 1854 during the war. No
crops We're harvested during hOstilities.
owing to which fact there was no money
with which to pay taxes.
Eighty per cent of the real estate of the
island was mortgaged and the result of
the attempt to collect taxes was that
much of this property was taken by
Spaniards.
The Spanish budget, as it stands, is i'm
possible 1t is believed that there will be
no change for the better until change
is made in the government.
1t was suggested at the meeting that a
memorial be prepared and sent to Presi-
dent Mckinley asking him TO appoint as
governor, not a soldier but a statesman,
to the end that unjust taxes be abolished
and a reasonable time be given to those
who are unable to pay before taking
property for unpaid taxes.
A military government in Porto Rico is
not so important, it is urged, to the
friendly relations between the islanders
and the Americans a just admfnistrd-
tion of the civil affairs of the country by
statesmen.

us the equitable claim to consideration
and friendly treatment in this regard.

has nearly completed It's Iabors, and the
results or its exhaustive inquiry into the
proper rouse. the Feasibility, and the cost
of construction of an interocearic canal
by Nicaraguan route will be laid before
you In the performance of its task the
Commission received all possible courtesy
and assistance from the governments of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which thus
testified their appreciation of the impor-
tance of giving a speedy and practical
outcome to the great project that has
for so many years engrossed the attention
of the respective countries.
As the scope of the recent inquiry en-
braced the whole subject with the aim of
making plans and surveys for a canal by
the most convenient route, II necessarily
included a review of the results of pre-
vious surveys and plans, and in particular
those adopted by the Maritime Canal
Company under its existing concessions
from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, so that to
this extent those grants necessarily hold
as essential part in the deliberations
and conclusions of the Canal Commission
as they have held and must needs hold
in the discussion of the matter by the
Congress. Under these circumstances AMI
in view of overtures made to the Govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica by
other parties for a new canal concession
predicated on the assumed approaching
lapse of the contracts of the Maritime Ca
nal Company with those States, l have
not hesitated to express my conviction
that considerations of eXpediency and in
ternational policy as between the several
governments interested In the construc-
tion and control of an interoceanic canal
by this route require the maintenance of
the status quo until the Canal Commits
sion shall have reported and the United
States Congress shall have had the op-
portunity TO pass finally upon the whole
matter during the present session, with
out prejudice by reason of any change in
the existing conditions.
