WILL ALWAYS HOLD PORTO RICO
Policy of the Government Is officially
Stated.

made that the island Of Porto Rico is to
be held as permanent possession of this
country as the price Of war. This prac-
tically official statement was made:
"Porto Rico will be kept by the United
States. That is settled and has been the
plan from the first. Once taken it VIII
never be released. It,wiIl pass forever
into the hands Of the United States.
There never has been any other thought.

the heavy expense of the war to the
United States. Our flag will float over
the island permanently"

MAtysER RIFLES ARE TERRIBLE.
Experiments Show Deadly Effects OF
Snanish Bullets.

Major Legarde, who is in charge of the
hospitals at Siboney, has made an expert
ment with the bullets used on both sides
in the fights that have taken place be-
tween the Spanish and American troops
around Santiago, with this result: The
bullet of the Mauser rifle Of the pattern
of 1895 penetrated 3212 inches of yellow
pitch pine; the Mauser of 1896, 32.54
inches, and that of 1897, 35.125 inches.
The g-Jorgensen of 1898 penetrated
26.125 inches, and the Springfield rifle
could only send bullet six inches
through the same wood. This explains
some of the terrible effects of the Spanish
bullets

Battle STORY was Un4rue.

The report telegraphed from Santiago
of a battle between the Cubans, under

to have been false. There was no fight,
nor was there collision Of any kind that
could be called even skirmish.

CONDENSED.
Striking Woodworkers Are Leaving
Oshkosh- Another Test for the Rad
ditz Boat-Offcer Confesses a Short
age in Accounts.
Yield to Union Demands,

The riot call was sounded in Oshkosh
again the other day, the second time in
month. There was no clash, however, the
matter being adjusted. The difficulty
arose at Campbell & Cameron's mill. 1t
is alleged that this company has been
doing work for the Morgan Company
The former concern was served with no.
tice that if it did not desist its crew, or
the union men among it, would walk out.
The congregation of pickets and strikers
alarmed the Campbell people, and the po-
lice were sent for. Chief Weisbrod gath
cred his whole force and went to the
scene In the meantime the company
counted noses among it's crew and found
half were union men. They hastily de-
cided to yield to the demands of the union
and Morgan's work was returned. Ihls
quieted everything. The striking wood
workers are departing from Oshkosh in
numbers. 1t is stated that within the
past month 800 strikers have left the city
in the hope Of securing permanent en-
ployment. Many of them have succeeded
and are now disinterested in the local
strike, so far as returning to work is con-
cerned. More than half of those who
have left including the great majority Of
the skilled mechanics, it is said, nave
permanently located elsewhere.
Radditz Boat Given Another Trial.
There was a public test of the Radditz
submarine boat for the benefit of q party
Of capitalists and engineers the other af-
ternoon at Milwaukee. Like all the other
tests Of the boat, it was highly satisfac-
tory. The party viewed the workings Of
the boat from the fire tug Foley. The
boat was submerged to various levels and
was run backward and forward several
times. 1t was under water once for forty
minutes. In the party was Edwin Key
nolds, the superintendent of the e. +.
Allis Company. He said he examined the
machinery Of the wonderful little craft
and that he was fairly convinced that its
inventor had solved the problem of sub
marine navigation. A larger boat will be
constructed at once, as number OF mon
eyed men have declared they will furnish
the capital necessary.
Accounts Are 100000 Short.
It was learned that John Harvey My
ers, secretary of the Home Building and
Loan Association Of Milwaukee, is short
in his accounts. The money is said to
have been squandered in unfortunate real
estate transactions. No action has yet
been taken against Mr.. Myers, who ad-
mits the fact of his shortage. A. w.
Hard was the choice of the directors for
receiver, being appointed by Judge John
son. His bond was fixed at $4,000, and
he filed it with the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee Company as the surety
1t is now certain that the shortage will be
at least 100000, if not much more.

The TnIIest Landmark in the world.

The most important island in the Can

MRS. WALLACE AND THE GLOVES

Found Them-But Whyf
From the Chicago Times-Herald.


From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have been married
five years. Up to last week Mr.. Wallace
was of the opinion that he understood his
wife pretty well. Now he is wondering
whether ne ever will know anything about
her.
Wednesday evening Mr. Wallace found a
pair of gloves. They were pearIy gray.
and probably had not been worn more
than once. They looked small and dainty.
and Wallace, arguing they might fit his
wife's hand, took them home and gave
them to her
Mrs. Wallace looked critically at the
DAINTY gloves for moment then said, Sc
verely:

Mr.. Wallace Is truthful by nature. Had
he been otherwise what follows would

THE MAIN CAUSE OF REPUBLICAN
SUCCESS.

In an article i'll the Forum Representative
Babcock, chairman of the Republican con-
gressionaI committee, calls attention TO
some of the lessons of the late election.
Mr.. Babcock calls attention to the fact that
the early close of the war, the springing
upon the country of the stories of the mis-
management of camps resulting from the
inexperience of officers appointed by the
President, the disappointment of many in
not getting the offices they sought, and an
apparent general apathy made the outlook
for the Republicans very disheartenng at
the beginning of the campaign. The further
fact that the people did not attend political
meetings and took little or no interest in
the discussion of the money issue caused no
little uneasiness on the part of those man
aging the canvass. One cause of the Re
publican success, in the estimation of Mr..
Babcock, was the firm adhesion to the Re-
publican party, particularly in the West, of
the sound-money Democrats especially the
Germans. He says the appointment of
Coin" Harvey to be general manager of
the Democratic party so disguised many
Democrats that they voted the Republican
ticket.
To the business men of the country, ire
spective of past party associations Mr.
Babcock attributes the Republican success.
They saw the necessity of disposlng of the
cheap-money schemes and they quietly
acted upon it. They did not attend political
meetings, join professions or engage in
what is usually the work of campaigns, but
they did that which was better in that they
quietly conferred together and put forth a
silent but potent influence to bring out a
full vote for candidates pledged to the gold
standard. So far as this locality is con-
cerned, Mr. Babcock has discovered the real
cause of Republican triumph-the hostility
of business men to 16 to l and its attendant
heresies.
1t is to the credit of Republican states
manship that it has won the confidence of
the business men of the country. Repub-
lican Congress and legislatures will be wise
If they seek to retain the confidence of
the vast majority of voters who carry on
the industries of the country. 1t will not
be difficult to retain Republican ascendancy
in Indiana if the Legislature shall continue
the policy of the past two bodies in legis-
lating to secure better and more economical
government
