How many of the Porto Ricans feel nowadays is illustrated by the procla- nation or the mayor of Yuaco, who had difficulty in finding words to express his joy over the fact that Yuaco had been captured" He said among other things: Porto Ricans, we are, by the miraculous intervention of the God of the just, given back to the bosom of our mother, America, in whose waters nature placed us as people of America. To her we are given back, in the name of her government, by General Miles, and we must send her our most express sive salutation of generous affection through our conduct towards the val iant troops represented by distinguish ed officers, and commanded by the il- lustrious General Miles.
 And more of the same kind. This mayor has a Spanish name, but his heart and mind seem to be all right. It certainly is good day for Porto Rico, and the Star Spangled Banner is beau- tiful

Chinese tradition of an emigration to the Fou-sang (America), and af an ar rival in China in 499 A. D. of Chinese Buddhist, bearing the cognomen of Universal Companion" from Foul Sang.
 Again, in well nigh every legend of the South American Indians we find the muyrakytan vaguely connected with the Children of the Sun and the Ser pent,'' And variant of the legend re- lated in the preceding paragraph has it that during the first year of the Christian Era the "Karas," Children of the Sun and the Serpent, came to America, bringing with them the arts, industries and customs of their native land. They were guided, the legend goes, by Votan or Quetzulcohuatl, and peopled Mexico, Central America, New Granada and Peru. And they intro- duced the sacred green stone, the jade.
 Postulating the necessity for such 2 prehistoric passing from the old world to the new, we find it easily conceiva- ble that America could be reached either from Europe or Asia, It must be remembered that excellent argu- mentS have been adduced for the exist ence of an sIndo-African continent, traces of which survive in Madagascar, the Seychelles and other islands, like broken arches of a sunken bridge, And had Plato's fabled Atlantis (mentioned also by Herodotus) ever existed, an easy explanation of the route would be forthcoming. Again, ocean surveys re- veal the presence of a submarine bank stretching from Scotland by way of Iceland to Greenland which might con- ceivably have existed as a continent. And apart from this supposition, it is

Dressing jackets are extremely pret- ty garments, and the wardrobe of an elaborate dresser is sure to include sev- eral beauties. New and dainty ones are of Japanese design, built on the Kiomo pattern, only cut off at about the hips. The great sash with its big queer bow in the back give a quaint look. Under the jacket is worn any fluffy lawn petticoat, and the combina- tion is attraotively odd. Other jackets have the neck cut square with an edge of quilled ribbon as finish, There are

from the subject. To return to Mr.. Ank-
eny and his charges Of mismanagement:
I have SHOWN what the permanent school
and university fund Is at the present time.
In our biennial report Of 1895 and 1895 I
claimed that this fund would, eventually,
amount to $20.0O0,000. am now fully sat-
iafed that $3O,0O0,000 would be nearer cor
rect. When Mr.. Ankeny talks about the
school lands having been squandered, did
he ever stop to think of the amount of

In the next place VIII state That at the
time we were returning the lands to all
the counties for taxation, in April 1897,
this Great Northern deed was thoroughly
discussed In the office, not only by myself
and my deputy, but by the entire force,
and 1t was our unanimous decision that no
good purpose could be accomplished by
listing the lands contained in this deed In
the next place, I will state that no one
connected with the Great Northern Rail-
way company ever even intimated to me
directly or Indirectly, or in any other man.
ner whatever. that the company cared
whether the lands were listed or not. AS
I have already said, that company has
steadfastly refused to recognize the deed
IN any manner whatever. Furthermore,
am not now, never was and never intend
to be, under any obligations to the Great
Northern Railroad company or any other
nothing, nor does the company owe me
anything. I have treated that company
just the same as I have treated all other
railroad companies who have had dealings
with the state, fairly and impartially,
without fear or favor. I have not decided
that company an acre Of land since came
into office, although there are about fifteen
thousand acres still due the company over
and above the Berman deed. All the rail-
road grants made by the state are practic-
ally filled. It is impossible to complete the
filling Of all the grants Until certain grants
In dispute are adjusted. BY referring to
the above table it will be seen at a glance
that more than half the lands contained in
the Bierman deed are located in the coun-
ties of Aitl<in and Itasca. And the people
OF those two counties are more interested
than all the other counties in which the
lands are located.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1898-10-27

Now about listing this Bierman deed for
taxation. l am accused Of gross derelic-
ton of my duty in failing to list these
1ands for the purpose Of taxation. I am
accused of favoring the Great Northern
Railway company and Of acting under the
direction of that company. The Times
talks about my failing to have the deed
recorded in the several counties In which
the lands are located. I take 1t for granted
that the Times meant listing the lands
with the county auditors-although it Is
hard to tell what tho Times does mean, as
Its editor does not seem to be very well
posted on the subject. -"
First and foremost, I will give the num-
per OF acres Of land contained In this

STARVING WORKMEN.

The report that come from Newcastle,
to the effect that half the residents of
ss s11s town are in starving cnnditiots
should y "a h Is point a moral if not
E"adorn "a tale.'' This little town of 5000
Inhabitants depended almost entirely
upon one Industry for support. For
some reason this manstay of the Del
aware village was forced to close down
a few weeks before Christmas. AS a
general thing workingmen fall to lay
aside any money for the inevitable
"riny day" In fact, many of them
have such hard time making both
both ends meet that they really have
no chance TO prepare for the future.
These Newcastle wcrkmen We're no ex-
cept!on 10 the rule, and a months idle
ness has placed them :acc to face with
starvation.
The fate which has befallcn the Della
ware town is the same that might
happen to any place that depends
entirely upon one industry for its sup
port. However, The natucaluess of the
causes which have led up To the deplor-
able conditions now existing in Newcas-
tie, should not close the hearts Of sym
pathetic Americans to the dumb, des-
pairing appeal of those unfortunate
workers. Those enthusiastic persons
who are always willing to assist in
gathering supplies and contributions
for charitable purposes in America. Gu
ba and various other places where as
sistance is sadly needed, VIII now have
an opportunity to come a little nearer
home. Let the desperation of the New
castle iron workers be turned to buoy
ant hope by the exercise of those vir-
tues which link humanity together in
one vast and inseperable brotherhood.
