ASK TERRITORIAL RIGHTS
Porto RiCanS Discuss OueS-

CONVENTION HELD AT SAN JUAN
Commissioners to Represent the Island at
Washington Given an Idea of
What Is Wanted.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. 1.-The
principal theater of the city was taxed
to it's utmost capacity during the after
noon on the occasion Of a public meet
ing of delegates from the chief towns Of
the island to consider and draft recon-
mendations regarding the necessities Of
the island for the use Of the special COM
missioners who will be selected later to
represent Porto Rico at Washington
when the time comes for settling the
administrative system. The meeting
adopted with enthusiasm the resolutions
demanding territorial rights, the cessa-
ton of the present military rule and the
installation of regular civil government
Other resolutions were adopted asking an
S-hour day for the laboring man and
severely denouncing the present corrupt
system of registering deeds of land.
It was obvious that the delegates pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that the
United States would grant Porto Rico
territorial rights.

THE CHIPPEWA LANDS. .
Secretary Bliss Finds No Grounds for thu
Charges of Irregularities.

Secretary Bliss Finds No Grounds for the
Charges of Irregularities.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. = Secretary
Bliss has been Investigating the alleged
scandals in connection with the sale Of
the timber lands Of the Chippewa In
dams and will treat the subject in his
forthcoming report to congress. The
charges, upon investigation, are shown
to be utterly without foundation. Under
the treaty of 1889 the United States
has advanced to the Indians over
$2,000,000 and as yet has been
reimbursed only to the extent Of
100000. The expense of estimating the
timber lands which are to be sold has
been rather heavy, owing to the fact that
there have been several boards, but the
present board is doing it's work with per-
feet satisfaction. The secretary's report
will clear up the misrepresentation which
exists in certain quarters regarding the
sale of their timber lands.

STAR ROUTE SERVICE.

Present Methods Denounced by Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The work of
transporting the mails throughout the
United States is dealt with in the an
nual report OF Second Assistant Post
master General William H. Shallen-
berger. The main feature of the report
is a vigorous denunciation Of the present
star route methods. Mr.. Shallenberger
refers to the speculative bidding for
star routes as ''discreditable to the gov
ernment.'' He says the bidders cut
little under the old contract price and
risk being unable to sublet at a profit.
The competition results in the greater
part of these contracts being awarded
at very low rates, the accepted bidders
or their agents often using deceit and
misrepresentation in securing subcon-
tracts from poor and innocent men as
principals and sureties.

Americans Would Not Be Sur

Are Broken Off.
QUESTION OF PHILIPPINES
SpaniardS Mortified at the
Present Attitude of the
Madrid Press.
Demand That a Treaty Be
Signed No Matter What
the Terms.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-Senor Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish peace commits
sion, is ill. This causes some doubt as
to the time Of the next joint session Of
the commissions. There is a strong i'm
preston, which has been growing here
recently, that the Spaniards have been
receiving assurances Of the American
determination to take the entire Philip
pine group, with compensation, and
they are mortified by the attitude of the
Spanish newspapers arriving here. They
are found to have wheeled into line with
The Epoca of Oct. 81, which demanded
that the Spanish commission should
sign treaty in Paris no matter how
enormous the conditions imposed by the
Americans. Nevertheless, despite the
Attitude of the Spanish Press
and despite the attitude Of the Spanish
government which declares that the
Spaniards here have no intention of
withdrawing, the Americans here
would not be surprised if one or more
Of the Spanish commissioners were to
resign and bring about the same result.
On the Philippine matter two weighty
questions are likely to he raised by the
Spaniards. the first is on the phrase
control, disposition and government
of the archipelago, the Spaniards doubt
less holding that the word 'disposition'
does not involve possession, though they
know that possession" was originally
written in the protocol and changed to
''disposition' on M. Cambon's interven-
ton on behalf Of Spanish sentiment.
Collateral is a secondary consideration.

BACKBONE OF OUR NATION.
The Brain Power of Our Country
Comes From the Farms

The Brain Power of Our Country
Comes From the Farms.
lit is from the farm and the country
districts that the great brain power Of
the country has come, is coming today
and must come in the FUTURE" writes
Edward Bokin The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "Instead Of deprecating country
life and saying that to live in the coun-
try means to live out of the world, in
telligent people know that the free, I'M
trammeled life Of the country unques-
tionably gives broader views. The hu-
man mind always grows to suit it's out
ward surroundings. Originality and a de-
velopment for great things have naught
to check it's growth where one can look
with earnest eyes from nature up to ma
ture's God. To speak of 'the ignorance
of the rural regions is to stamp oneself
as an ignoramus, not the country peo-
pie. There is soundness Of core and
an intelligence in the back country Of
this nation of ours that people who live
in cities and think themselves wise
never suspect. We can talk all we like
Of social revolutions and kindred evils
that are supposed to threaten this ma
ton. When they do threaten our insti-
buttons, the danger signal will not come
from the back country. Such thoughts
are born and fed amid the foul atmos-
phere Of the cities. In the clear coun-
try air of the farm nothing threatens
this country, and when anything in the
shape Of a socialistic, anarchistic reyo-
luton does menace this land the true
voice which will stamp it out will come
from the country. The backbone of this
land rests in the country and on the
farm" II

originally built for the manufacture of
the Burnside rifles, and during the civil
war many thousands Of arms were made
and sent all over the world. The fac
tory gave employment to 1000 hands.

How This Wonderful and Destruc-

How This Wonderful and Destruc.
tive Air Fury Is Formed.
TO get an idea Of a cyclone IS forma-
tion imagine large circular pan or tub
with quite . large hole in the middle.
Of the bottom. With this hole plugged,
I'LL the vessel with water; then draw
out the plug and watch. There is first a
rush of water from all directions toward
the hole and turbulent effort to get
through. Then the water surface above
begins to sink and swirl, the particles
gradually circling around and around
and rushing, ever faster, toward the
center. At last there is actually hol-8
low space through the center, around
which all the water in the tub is whirI-
ing, sluggishly near the rim, but with
more and more violent rapidity toward
the middle until it rushes downward
through the bottom. Now, if that water
were air, you would be watching little
cyclone turned upside down, for the air
PUSHES upward instead of downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and the
water grow hotter and hotter because
of the longer days than nights, a layer
Of air, hot, light and full of vapor, is
for time held down by denser air
above it. Restless, expanding, tumultu-
Gus, it moves about like a beast at bay
until thinner place in the air above is
found. Then up it madly rushes and
into the vacuum left behind the lower
atmosphere hastens from all directions,
pushing and twisting and pouring up
ward until it has fallen into regular
spinning around a common center. f.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from the tropics toward the pole,
and begins it's career of destruction,
bruising, w1ecking and sinking the
luckless ships which happen to be in
its path. More and more of the sur
rounding atmosphere is drawn into the
whirl until the storm often covers an
area nearly 1000. miles in diameter.
Sometimes it filings itself upon our At
lantic coast and tears fiercely through
forests, fields and cities. Then again it
sweeps away across the broad ocean and
dashes itself upon the coasts of Europe.
Once in awhile it so ad1oitly avoids
the land that we never know it has
passed until ships come in torn and
broken.-St. Nicholas. Its
