1.-THE oysters you get in Porto Rico are
small and have that coppery taste that the
bivalves they furnish you in Europe
have" remarked f. NJ. Mercer of New
York, at Chamberlin's. THE fish, how
ever. are very fine, and the fruits of the
island are delicious. In fact, it is a coun-
fry where human life is easily supported
with very little labor. The expense of liv-
ing to the natives is very light The boys
of the common class go naked until they
are about 10 years old, and the girls put
on their first garments at 5. l think that
the reports of native immortality have been
greatly exaggerated. My own observation
was that the people behaved with quite as
much propriety as they do in our own
country. where certainly the opportunities
for a correct mode of life are superior,
seeing that we enjoy much higher stan
dard of civilization. For an oppressed ana
tax-ridden people the Porto Ricans do
we'll. and there is little about them that
calls for severe criticism"

"A new use has been found In steel by
a Sheffield (England) firm, which is MAX
ing a steel harness trace. consisting of a
narrow ribbon of steel, from three-fourths
to one inch wide, rolled very thin and
cased In leather. A single trace of this
kind, when tested at the Sheffield testing
works, recorded a tensile breaking strain
of A ,575 pounds, while an ordinary leather
trace of the best quality, tested at the
same time, broke at strain of 200
pounds. In addition 90 being lighter and
stronger than the ordinary trace, the steel
article is about 20 per cent. cheaper. The
steel is necessarily of the very finest quail
ity. aud is so piable that it can be twisted
in any direction.

-ord Salisbury Abont to Resign.

LONDON, March IA report which
may have "a very important effect ON the
present European situation was circulated
in political and party circles last night
For some time the best informed people
IN official circles have privately discussed
the possibility Of Lord Salisbury's resig-
nation OF the post Of Foreign Secretary,
but any statement to that effect has
been pcrs.stently denied by those in au-
thority. There is no longer any use in
denying that Lord Salisburys health
is such as TO make il absolutely inn
possible that he can give the application
and study necessary to determining the
vital details OF the Foreign once admin
istration.
Lord Salisbury will leave within a few
days for s0jOurn abroad. and during
his absence Mr.. BalfOur will be the reign
ing chief at the Foreign Office.
The talk last evening was that this
is not a temporary. but q permanent ar
rangement r. is also stated that Lord
Salisbury at his advanced age finds 1t
quite sufficient to be at the head OF the
government

situation will Doe categorically denied, but

lutely accurate.-New York Herald.

SOME ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

The Kentucky Legislature. although II
has enacted an iniquitous election law
has done a good part by the city Of
Louisville, in passing a bill permitting
that city TO assess its own franchises
taxes and TO exempt from taxation for
q period Of five years all new manufac-
turing industries.
The Courier Journal. in noting this and
the great advantage that will accrue TO
Louisville from the legislation, takes oc-
casion to say that the hearty support
which was accorded this bill by the legis-
lature is proof that the raid against cap
ital is passing in the State of Kentucky
and that henceforth the people OF the
state are to have freer hand in dsvel-
oping their material welfare
There has been a distinct gain in this
direction during the past twelve months.
The Populistic cry which was raised
against capital in the campaign OF 1896
and which threatened to do violence TO
all sorts and conditions Of corporations
IS rapidly passing.
The Georgia Legislature did not lift
ifs hand against enterprise, the Kentucky
Legislature is disposed to encourage en-
terprise. and while there was an occa-
sional Populistic outburst in the Virginia
legislature. the conservative spirit pre-
dominated and the blows at capital with
one or two exceptions. were very weak.
These are encouraging signs and are
renssuring.
