and laborers of all grades should stay
away from Porto Rico
No American should come to Porto
Rico expecting to strike it rich and no
person should come here without plen-
~ of money to pay board bills and
home in the United States.
This is small island, has a popula-
ton Of about 1000 900 people and is the
most densely populated country in the
world. There are several hundred
thousand working Porto Ricans ready
to fill the empty jobs and at low price.
There may come time after the
laws of the United States are applied
to this island, that this will be good
place for American capital and for
Americans to do business, but even
then man should have plenty Of mon
ey who expects to make business sue

STILL HARPED ON CUBA.
Spaniards Again Urged Assumption of
Cuban Debt at Peace Conference,
In Paris.

PARIS, Oct. 22.-The peace commits.
sioners, at their joint session, discussed
the second series of written arguments
put forward by the Spaniards for the
purpose of prevailing upon the Ameri-
can commissioners to assume the Cuban
debt. No definite conclusion was
reached, and the commissioners adj
journed until Monday, when the Cuban
question will again be discussed. It is
probable that this feature of the nego-
tiations will be disposed of next week.
Thus far there have been seven joint
sessions, four of which have been de-
voted to the discussion of the first
article of the protocol. In this manner,
two weeks have passed and no result
has been reached The American COM
missioners have listened to all the argu-
ments of the Spaniards, but they have
not changed the position which they
first assumed, in refusing to take over
the Cuban debt.

Affairs In Good shape at Fort
Mcpherson.

ATLANTA, Oct. 22.-The war lnvesti-
eating commission, on arriving here,
after calling upon General Pennington,
in command OF the department, pro-
ceeded 20 Fort Mcpherson. They found
the barracks st the post had been trans
ferred into hospital wards. and not
outstanding the day was wet the
wards were all found to be comfortable
and warm, made SO in each case by a
large stove i'll the center of the room.
There are now 322 patients in the insti-
tuition and many of them are con-
valescent
The commissioners talked with sur
geons, nurses and patients They en-
countered no complaint from the sick
men and the nurses stated that the
work was constantly growing less and
less irksome, owing to the decrease in
the number of patients. They found
the men in the messroom abundantly
supplied with food and partaking of it
with relish known only to men who
have just recovered from typhoid fever.

The Harvest is Past.

The cold rains, the leaden sky, the
boar frost, and the short days, re-
mind us of the swiftly changing
season by which we pass from the
bright sunshine, the green foliage,
and the blooming flowers into the
cold grip of winter, with the scar
and yellow leaf, the bleak landscape
and the end of outdoor pastimes, in
dustries and enterprises.
Many structures here and there
over the town are caught in an I'M
finished condition and will hence
forth move in slow and uncertain
pace toward completion. Those who
were depending on mild and ex-
tended fall will probably be sur
prised with an abrupt jump into
winter. The unusual heat of the
summer presages the other extreme
to balance the account.
Our streets are in sorry plight
for entering the winter and promise
to add much to the discomfort Of
outdoor business, if they do not
even become impossible. The slow
going contractor on the paving job
is struggling through the mud in a
desperate effort to get to the head of
Main street. IF he remains stuck in
the mud before reaching the goal
everybody will recognize the pro-
priety of the ending.
The chief concern will now be to
make the winter enjoyable and find
agreeable substitutes for the out
door diversions which are closed.
With the social functions that nat
urally follow, the public lectures
and the variety of entertainments
suitable to the season, there is no
reason why we should not find the
winter as enjoyable and profitable
as the open season, and we hope it
will be.

They refuse to believe it possible that

French Papers Repudiate "Jockey-
ing"
French papers, quite rightly, repudiate
the charge that the disgraceful Jockey

the tracks in this country of late are of
French origin. I'm all of our races, -
the editor of Journal des Sports writes III
a leader after commenting on the recent
Michael-McD race, "our riders start
out and ride for records. In our sprint
races jockeyfng is frequently indulged in,
but not in our paced races" Such a
statement is correct. The paced jockey
ing is the natural result of the same
tactics in unpaced and sprint races. Ii
is an Improvement" by the Americans
over the French system OF course, the
object of this is instantly recognized. as
the rider following his opponent is
doubly protected from the elements, while
