The President and Secretary Root
are anxious to secure some legislation
for q permanent form of government In
Porto Rico as soon as possible, and 1t
Is probable that a special message on
the subject will be sent to Congress I'M
n,ediately after the holidays recon-
mending form Of government similar
to that planned for the territory of
Louisiana by President Jefferson in
1903. Delegations and petitions Of the
most urgent nature are coming In al
most every day from Porto Rico repre-
senting that business Is stagnant and
that all transactions are suspended I'M
til the status of the island Is deter,
mined and its laws promulgated. The
President thinks Congress will recog-
nize the necessity Of immediate relief
from this anomalous situation. It is
also proposed to reopen the block
AIDED ports of the Philippine islands at
the earliest possible moment in order
that business may be resumed and the
vast quantities of hemp and other val-
liable products that have been accumu-
latlng during the insurrection may be
shipped to foreign markets.
1t appears that Mr.. Sibley Of Penn
sylvania, millionaire stock raiser
and oil producer, who lives Mt Frank
lin. venango county, has created a SEN
sation by dlsavowing his former views
on the chief issues of the day and in
dorslng the policy of the administra-
ton. Mr.. Sibley has been considered
the foremost leader Of the silver
wing Of the Democratic party in the
eastern states and has been seriously
talked Of as the probable nominee for
vice-president on the ticket with Mr..
Bryan. Hence his change of heart Gre
ates decided sensation. He de-
clares the changes In commercial and
industrial conditions in the United
States during the last three years have
demonstrated that the free coinage Of
silver, and even bimetallism. are not
essential to the prosperity of the coun-
try, and that. the revival Of business
having occurred upon n gold standard
basis, 1t would be unwise to make any
change or even an agitation for
change Of present conditions. He
therefore advises Democrats to drop
the free-silver issue and assist in main
tanning . gold standard.

ance, but the sugar content which
gives the melon its flavor is compare
lively low. Hence it frequently hap
pens that a variety may give good sat
isfaction one season and be very un-
satisfactory the next. Thorough drain
age, either naturally or artificially, will
do much towards preventing trouble
from this source The use of fertilizers,
rich in potash and phosphoric acid,
will have a tendency to produce a fruit
of high quality. Another cause for
poor quality in melons is found in the
fact that many are picked too green.
This is especially true when they are
shipped long distances. Like Califor-
MIA peaches, they must be picked early
in order to hold up until they reach
their destination, and, also like Cali
fornia fruit, they lose very much Of
that richness of flavor which can only
come by ripening on the vines There
is much difference between varieties
grown on the same soil, because all
varieties are not adapted to the same
conditions. This. has been very notice
able in our experiments for series
OF years on rather heavy sandy loam
which is naturally underdrained. Those
varieties giving the best results are the
small Emerald Gem, Melted Gem, Os-
age, Hackensack and Montreal. Paul
Jones is a new variety, fruiting for the
first time and giving good satisfaction.
1t is said to be cross between the
Emerald Gem and Usage, and in some
degree 1T contains the characteristics
OF both. In general, varieties that
come the nearest to perfection every
year are the ones to grow.

WHEN WALES BECOMES KING
Ceremony Will be the Same as in
the Fifteenth Century.

When the time comes for a new King
of England the College of Arms will
proclaim him, just as they have pro-
claimed every monarch for hundreds
OF years past. says the London Daily
News Times change and dynasties.
We are less like the Englishmen of Ed
ward 1. than we are like the modern
Japs. We talk a different tongue, we
eat different foods, we wear different
clothes, we think different thoughts.
Nothing is the same except the col
umns on Stonehenge and the College
of Arms. The college abides, varying
by not SO much as detail of procedure
or a button on uniform. What is, is
good and cannot be improved. There
be the same in the twentieth century
as it was in the fifteenth
When the time unhappily comes for
new King to reign the Privy Council
will meet and declare the throne to
have devolved on the Prince of Wales.
Orders will at once be given to the Earl
Marshal and the officers of the College
OF Arms to proclaim him. The first
proclamation will be made in the
courtyard of st. James Palace, where
the guard Is changed. Garter King,
the chief officer of the college, will
make the proclamation in solemn form,
with the Earl Marshal, the knights, the
heralds and the pursuivants in full uni
form and mounted hard by. At this
proclamation the monarch is present
sitting at the window where all his
predecessors have sat.
That is the chiefest of the proclama-
tions, but the news has to be carried
far and wide to the distant cities, the
rank of the proclaiming officer descend
ing as the business proceeds. The sec
ond pronouncement is made at Charing
Cross, and the third at the corner OF
Chancery lane
At this proclamation there will be
modification of the ancient form, owing
to the disappearance of Temple Bar.

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS.
Governor Lowndes and u. s. Sena-
tor WELLINGTON at Outs.

BALTIMORE, Sept 21- Governor
Lowndes, who is a candidate for re-
election on the State Republican
ticket, demanded the resignation OF
United States Senator George L. We'll
lington as Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, and it is ex-
pected that Senator Wellington will
comply at once. This step is the out
come of the work of the State Central
Committee yesterday in appointing
Committees on Finance and on the
Conduct of the Coming Campaign,
which practically deprived the Chair
man of the committee of most of his
power and usefulness
Senator Wellington says: MY ulti-
matum is that the committee must re-
scind both of these resolutions, or 1 will
retire from it. l will not turn a hand
until they do this No Headquarters
will be opened, and I am going to
Cumberland to wait until 1 hear from
them. 1 think that the ticket is beaten
beyond any question. The committee
have offended every Malsterite, and abb
solutely ignored the colored voters.
There is a day of reckoning coming
which they will not like to meet"
The Senator further charges Gov
ernor Lowndes with having surrend-
cred control of the party to John K.
Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. and asserts that United States
Senator McComas is also controlled by
the same influence.
Governor Lowndes and Senator We'll
lington have been fast friends, the lat
ter at one time having filled a position
in the banking house of the Governor
in Cumberland. Md. Their political for
tunes have been closely allied, and
much of the credit for the conduct of
the campaign which elected Governor
Lowndes four years ago has hereto
fore been accorded to Senator yelling
ton, who was at that time Chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee.

The following newsy items concern
ing important agricultural and horti-
cultural matters of the great western
growing areas will doubtless prove of
general interest to the public:
LEMONS NEARLY GONE.
San Diego Union: The lemon crop in
the National City and Chula Vista Sec
ton is practically exhausted for this
season. The reports received from the
East last week were that no lemons
were being shipped from the West and
that the market had advanced from
% to 30 cents a box. While there are
| a few marketable lemons left at Chula
Vista the supply is very light and III
another week it is thought that there
will be no more to ship. The new
crop will begin to ripen in month or
six weeks, however, and the shipments
will begin again then.
The past season has been an unusu-
ally long one This was due to- the dry
year, which caused the lemons to ripen
slower than ordinarily, and although
it was thought that there would be no
more lemons after July, they have been
marketed until the present time. AL
though a dry year is looked upon as
calamity by fruit growers, it had its
redeeming features as far as the lemon
men are concerned. 1t caused the lem,
ons to ripen later, when the highest
| prices were prevailing, and although
| the top figures were not as high as last
| year a good price was obtained. The
total shipments from the Chula Vista
and National City section this year
have been 225 carloads, against 300
carloads for the whole of last year. As
there are several months remaining in
this year in which to ship lemons, this
seasons figures will probably come
very close to those of last year. The
| lateness of the crop this summer will
undoubtedly have the effect of delay
| ing the ripening of the lemons this
winter, however
| Although it was thought last week
that it would be necessary to shut
down the citric acid factory, operations
have not yet been suspended. The fac
tory is able to use lemons that are not
good enough to ship, and as there was
an unusually large quantity of that
kind this year the acid factory has
found 1t necessary to run several
months longer than was expected at
the opening of the season. IF the
lemons continue to come in as they did
last week it will probably be several
weeks yet before it will be necessary
to suspend operations.
THE PRUNE MARKET.
San Jose Mercury: Possibly the ex-
perience the prune- growers are now
going through will induce them to seek
the benefits of organization by another
season. Speaking of present conditions,
the Pacific Tree and Vine says that
the Eastern fruit dealers have de-
| layed placing their orders for prunes
so long that dryers have not had any
| foundation on which to buy fresh fruit,
and now, after a large number of grow
| ers have made up their minds that it
| is better to sell their fruit fresh than
to cure it, and with their prunes drop
| ping, there are twenty people Offering
prunes for see to one who wishes to
| buy, and it looks as if the market
might break all in pieces. There seems
to be no heavy moneyed men in the
| field as purchasers. and those who
thought to buy have no advance or
! ders on which to lean. 1t is said that

business, and that no officer or director
of a corporation shall be the officer or
director or the owner of stock in an
other corporation engaged in similar
or competitive business, the object or
result of which is to create a trust or
monopoly.
z. By recognizing that trusts are usu-
ally composed of corporations, and that
corporations are but creatures OF the
law, and can only exist in the place
of their creation, and cannot migrate
to another sovereignty without the con-
sent of that sovereignty, and that this
consent may be withheld when desired.
we recommend as the sense of the con-
ference that each State pass laws pro-
viding that no corporation which is a
member of any pool or trust in that
State or elsewhere can do business in
that State.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
conference that all the capital stock
of private corporations should be fully
paid, either, first, in lawful money, or,
second. in property of the actual cash
value of the amount of capital stock,
and that in all private corporations,
with a capital stock issued in excess
of the amount actually paid up as
above, provided, the shareholders shall
be liable to the extent of twice the
face value Of the stock held by each.
Governor McMillin, in presenting the
resolutions, said he was aware of the
fact that trusts and combinations to
restrain trade are in a degree always
dependant upon Federal, State or
municipal governments for their con-
tinuance.
This is no assemblage,'' he said, ito
war on corporations or capital in any
form. The object of these resolutions is
not to crush corporations or destroy
capital, but to regulate them. That is
the whole object of this conference, and
when that is attained, it's whole duty
will have been DONE"
! Attorney General Davis of Arkansas
made a few remarks in favor of the
resolutions, in the course of which he
! deplored the fact that anything had
come up during the conference to mar
! the harmony of its proceedings.
| Chairman Sayers then put the ques-
ton and the resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the representatives
of the States remaining. Governors
Shaw of Iowa and Thomas of Colorado
and Attorney General Taylor of In
diana having gone home last evening,
left only eight States represented.
| Attorney General Campbell of Colo
rado moved that a committee of five
| be appointed to formulate a bill along
the line of the resolutions adopted, and
that each Governor here present it to
his Legislature and recommend it to
the chief executives of other States. Mr..
Heifner of Washington and Governor
Jones of Arkansas objected to this on
general principles, and the motion was
| lost.
Chairman Sayers then made short
address, telling of his disinterestedness
in calling the conference. He said he
did not believe the trust was a question
of politics, but one purely of patriot
ism.
Secretary Moore promised to have a
copy of the proceedings furnished the
Governor of every State in the Union.

barring the knock at the gate, which
does not exist. In the provinces the
proclamations are made by the local
Mayors.
Being proclaimed and crowned, the
King has to offer to fight for his throne.
In the olden times, when a King reign
ed by the power of his right arm, this
was necessary formality, and be-
cause it was necessary once it is done
still. But the King no longer does his
own fighting. He has champion, the
hereditary champion of England, whose
duty it is to do battle with all corners
for the crown. The champion is al
ways member of the Dymoke family.
When the King is crowned this cham
pion rides into Westminster Hall,
mounted and in full armor, just as the
champion was 600 years ago. He is
accompanied by the Earl Marshal and
the Lord Great Chamberlain, also on
horseback. The hall is crowded with
ticketed sightseers. A proclamation
is read by one of the heralds, challeng-
ing anybody who disputes the right of
the sovereign to combat in an open
space. The champion throws down
his gauntlet as a guarantee of good
faith, and then the hearts of all the
ladies flutter in anticipation of fight.
But it is all disappointing sham. If
some enterprising person were to take
UP the challenge and the gauntlet he
would probably be run in by the police
for creating a disturbance. The her
aid takes up the glove and hands it
back to the champion, and then the
King is firmly seated on his throne.
