Guam and Wake island will probably be
let alone as much as possible for awhile.
Captain Leary is governing Guam satisfac-
torIly and perhaps will be retained there
for some time. Wake island is dot in the
Pacific ocean valuable only as way station
between Honolulu and Guam for a cable be-
tween San Francisco and Manila
An effort will be made to vote a subsidy
to a Pacific cable company, its line to start
at San Francisco and extend to Manila by
way of Honolulu, Wake island and Guam
in the Caroline group. cable under
American auspices is deemed necessity
both from a business and governmental
viewpoint somewhat similar matter will
be brought up as regards cable communica-
tion with Cuba AS matters now stand the
Western Union Telegraph company has a
monopoly of cable communication between
the United States and Cuba. An effort will
be made to break this down by extending the
privilege OF landing a cable in Cuba to some
other company.

Hawaii came to us by an annexation reso-
luton, as Texas did, with the understand
ing however that instead of becoming a
state it was to be territory in form, though
ultimately it may be erected into a state.
Indeed this possibility exists with regard to
all OF the new possessions. New Mexico has
been a territory for more than half CEN
tury, though for a generation it has knocked
at the doors of congress for admission as a
state and will be heard from again. 1t will
be necessary for this congress to enact
needed legislation for Hawaii. that duty not
having been performed by the last congress,
the one which annexed it,

The three communities that now enjoy
full territorial forms of goyernment-Ari-
zona, New Mexico and oklahoms-wll re-
new efforts for admission as states. It is
possible that they may succeed, but II they
do they will hardly be admitted in time to
vote at the presidential election next year

The Fifty-sixth congress will be called
upon to enact legislation of an altogether
novel character The new possessions that
have come as one of the results of the war
with Spain present problems to which our
statesmen have heretofore been strangers
The Philippine archipelago, with its hun
dreds of islands teeming with a strange
population, is made up of different races,
protesting different religions, speaking
different languages, governed by different
laws and customs, frequently hostile to
each other, or varying degrees of intelli-
gence some anxious to learn the lessons or
civilization, others preferring life of bar
barism or savagery-all going to make con-
ditions radically different from any with
which the American congress has heretofore
dealt. Yet it will have to take positive
action in regard to them. Congress Is apt
to act upon the plan of making haste
slowly. Too little is known of the islands
and their heterogeneous millions of mixed
bloods to enable it to proceed rapidly. The
end of the insurrection seems to be in sight
With the restoration of order will come the
opportunity for those in authority in those
distant insular regions to study inteligently
the problems with which the nation is con-
fronted So far as this session is con-
cerned, whatever is done in the way of
legislation will of necessity be hardly more
than tentative. leaving to future congress

Porto Rico stands in a class by itself.
Small in extent, rich in soil, dense in popu-
lation, it will probably present few diff
culties in government either now or here

likely to be something like that which pre-

WAVE POWER PLANT.
which WdM Harness the Wave
Ferce 06 6he Ocean.

A contract has been signed for a $780,
600 plant to furnish 1000 horsepower
to be developed from the waves Of the
ocean, the first Of the kind ever made.
This power is for million-dollar sani-
tarium to be built at Seagate, ad joining
Coney Island.
This power ID to be converted into
electricity, which will do all the work,
heating, lighting, operating carriages
and steamboats,. Even the cooking will
be done by electricity.
The contract shows that machinery
has at last been designed which can bot
tie up the energy Of the sea and make
1t work. This device takes no account
Of the rise and fall of tides. but 1t does
make use of the wave motion.
The principle is like that of q toy pop
gun. The cylinder is placed vertically.
The piston is made to rise and fall by
the waves. 1t is really nothing more
than buoy. When wave comes along
1t is bound to rise, and when the wave
passes it falls. Every time it rises II
congresses SO much air.

FOR BETTER MAIL SERVICE.
General Reorsanisation Has Been
Completed - More ana
Faster Trains.

The general reorganization of
through mail facilities, which has been
under consideration some months by
the post Office department, has been
completed, and the new schedules will
60 into effect at once. Some 16,s70 miles
of road are affected by the change, and
the result is substantial saving of
time in the transit of mails for all parts
Of the country.
Between Chicago and New York the
time is reduced IN hour and a quarter.
The fast mail, leaving Chicago at 3:o5
a. m, will reach New York at four in
stead of 5:15 a. M, insuring delivery by
the first carriers for the city, including
the borough Of Brooklyn and vicinity.
Closer connections will also be assured
for lower New England by way Of the
Shore line route. Al Albany the train
will connect with the midnight mail for
Boston, thereby looping Of half an
hour in the time to the latter city, and
ccnueuGipg there with the early morn
ing trains fUr New England.
A fast mail traan Will be putin service
by the Pennsylvanis road, le.viag [2i-
cago at e:46 q. m, arriving in Pitts
burgh to meet the fast mall dispatched
from st. Louis at S:15 p. m, and to-
gether reaching New York at four a. m.
This mail will reach Washington at the
same hour, and will, by connecting with
early southern trains, expedite north
western mails for Cuba and intermedi-
ate points.
Additional service between New York
and St. Louis has been secured by at
taching mail cars to the fast train leav-
ing New York at two p. m, and reaching
St. Louis at 7:15 the following evening.
One of the most important results of the
reorganization is the doubling of the
service between st. Paul and Portland,
over the Northern Pacific, in addition
to shortening the running time.

As will be seen in our local columns
the election on Monday in Hillsboro and
Liberty township resulted in Q partial
defeat for the Republicans. The cause
is we'll known to all who are informed
- to local politics. The combination oi
Democrats and kickes commenced last
fall, and the written agreement which
includes the election this fall has been
strictly lived up to. The fight this
spring was against every man on the Re.
publican corporation, township and
school board tickets without regard to
bis merits or qualifications. The agree
ment was to help all the Democratic can.
didates, and the malcontents were held
to the bargain. An enormous sum OF
money was used for the Democratic tick
ct, and prominent Democrat stated
the amount was more than the salary of
every officer elected would receive in q
year. It was contributed by both DEM
ocrats and kickers and the main object
was the effect it would have on the tick
ct this fall. The Republican ticket was
. good one. 1t had the support of the
members of that party in this city and
township. Its defeat was mainly caused
by small crowd who for the past four
elections have attempted to control local
politics and have no more right to be
called Republicans than the Chairman
of the Democratic committee has. They
are all in the same boat-present per-
sonal advantage. Quick returns and
small profits seems to be their motto.
They are now seeking to lead others by
misrepresentation and use of money in.
to the Democratic party, where they are
ct present. For Cotton Mather, who be.
came . candidate on the Democratic
ticket after he found the Republicans
would not nominate him again, the most
charitable thing that can be said il that
his position makes him an object Of pity.
The only defense that could possibly be
made il that he was used % . tool, and
that 10 one he would hardly like to pre-.
sent for himself, although the fact ID
plain to others. Though temporarily re
pulsed, the Republicans loyal and faith.
full to the ticket will continue in the
fight and will be anxious and villipa
for the next affray.

THREE AMERICAN WOMEN.
They Are Entered in the 1nterna-
tionaI Beauty Show.

Paris. Feb. 13-The United States will
have several representa- ives at the inter-
national beauty show which is to be held
here at the end of March The secre-
can women-AIrs. De La Mar, Mrs George
Law of New York and Mrs Collins of
BOS ton-have accepted invitations to COM
pete for the beauty prize.
Mrs De La Mar was considered among
the handsOmest women in America when
she married the venerable western million
aire, who recently obtained a divorce from
her. She is only y yeas of age now, and
is admired for willowy, delicate style
of beauty. Mrs. Collins is more matronly,
vivacious. fascinating and quite young.
AS the jury contains painters. sculptOrS,
poets and dress designers, with Sarah
Bernhardt as president, the verdict ought
to do justice to the different types of beau
ty- Bernhard said today:
The contest cannot in any sense be
called exhibition. 1t is somewhat of a
glOrification of women Though each ma
ton has its own idea of beauty, the I'm
DERIVING principles are acknowledged by
strike even an eye that has received no
artists training. Social position will cut
no figure in the contest.
"A peasant girl will have the same
chance of winning the 6,ooo francs prize
There viii be nothing vulgar about the
competition, and there is nothing undigni-
fed in having aspirations for the prize
Distinguished people will constitute the
jury 1t Is not to be a contest in the
domain of mere physical beauty. for
poet like Catulle Mendes must see the
soul speaking through the lines Of femi-
nine lOvelness, otherwise he would not

there such a varied jury to decide what
constitutes beauty in women l glad

Pullman Cars at Much Lower

Ordinary Sleepers to Form a

Last Spike in the Pecos Valley
Driven Saturday.
Mrs. j. J. Hagerman OBLIGATED
With the Hammer.

St Louis, Feb. 13.-The Pullman
shops have recently constructed a num-
Der Of sleeping cars for operation on
different lines throughout the country
which will be known as ordinary sleep
ing cars to distinguish them from the
standard cars. These cars are superior
to the tourist car, being finished in the
natural wood, instead of being painted
and grained. and are equipped with
wide vestibules, Pintsch gas lamps and
other convenienees. 1t is the intention
to accommodate in them a certain class
or travel that does not care to take ad-
vantage of the accommodations pro-
vtded by the standard cars The berth
rate IN these cars will be one-half that
charged in the standard cars
The Baltimore & Ohio will begin the
use of the ordinary sleepers in con-
junction with the regular sIeepers next
Monday" said Vice President T H
Wickes of Pullman's company six
cars will go into operation at once. We
have Just completed twenty of the new
sleepers and are working on twenty
more We believe the introduction of
these cars on the Baltimore & Ohio will
lead to their general adoption on all
the leading railroads of the country
The ordinary is nothing more or less
than an improved tourist sleeper which
has been in use on the western lines for
ten years.
of course, these cars are not as fine
" finished as the standard SIeeperS
but they contain everything NECESSARY,
Tor comfort The seats are rattan in
stead Of plush, and the decorations are
not so extensive. But the sleeping
berths are all that can be wished"
