and asking for action by Congress
which would determine their political
status and relation to the United States.
While the island itself has no public
debt, yet the planters as rule, it IS
said, are heavily involved. No money
is coming into the country for invest
ment, and altogether the situation is
not calculated to foster trade or COM
merce.
The Secretary of War shares the
views of the Governor General and peo-
pie, and is extremely DESTROYS that Con-
gress shall take early action to secure
the islanders a stable form of Govern
ment. 1t is understood that the Secre-
tary of War and President Mckinley
and all the members of the Cabinet are
in favor of giving the Porto Ricans a
form of Government similar to that
given to Louisiana at the time of the
purchase of that Territory from the
French in 1903. 1t authorized the
President Of the United States to ap-
point a Governor for the Territory. and
at the same time authorized him to
appoint a number of citizens of the
country who were empowered to leg
islate for the Territory. The Governor
had the veto power, and his acts in
turn were subject to review by the
President of the United States.
1t is not altogether improbable that
the President within the next few weeks
will send a message to Congress re-
viewing the situation in Porto Rico,
and asking that measures may be taken
to bring about more satisfactory state
of affairs in the island

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Annual Report of the Executive
Council Read

DETROIT, Dec. 12.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the American Federation of La
Dor Convention the Executive Council
of the federation reported it's doings
for the year.
The report stated that the brewery
workers still retained some of the sta
tionary engineers in their unions, not
withstanding the Executive Council had
declared that the two should be sep
arated. A similar state of affairs ex-
listed between the brewers and coopers.
Controversies between local unions OF
ization were reported to be in process
of amicable adjustment.
The council had been unable to adj
just the difficulties between the factions
of the Painters Association.
The bricklayers had approved a prop
osition for utilization with the fedora
ton.
The council reported adversely on the
request of the bartenders to form a
separate union, instead of ueing affili-
ated with the walters and restaurant
employees.
The report said that the typograpE-
ical and printing machine machinists
unions are still at variance, the former
having decreed that the latter must
be members Of their organization.
which action the machinists refused to
indorse.
The council expressed disapproval OF
the sending out of boycott circulars by
any local or national union without
having first referred the matter to the
federation.
On recommendation of the Resolu-
tons Committee, the Executive Council
was empowered to take action in IN
vestigating the Idaho labor-miitary
troubles.
A flood of resolutions were intro
duced, covering nearly every subject OF
interest to labor interests.
During the afternoon the delegates
had a half-hour diversion listening to
Miss Susan B. Anthony, who made an
appeal to the federation to join in
petition to Congress to refer to the

A NEW DEGREE.
Past Masters of the Native Sons
of the Golden West.

A meeting of the Past President
Association of the Native Sons of the
Golden West was held last Saturday
night in San Francisco The following
were elected temporary officers to serve
until the last Saturday in January,
when another meeting will be held, at
which permanent officers will be
chosen: President, J. A. Steinbach;
Financial Secretary, Adolph Eberhart;
Recording Secretary, Pascal Maussang;
Treasurer, w. D. Shea
There was a large attendance at the
meeting, and the report of the commit
tee previously appointed was received.
1t is believed that this association may
lead to the establishment of a higher
degree of the order of Native Sons,
such as the Past Masters degree of
Masonry.
1t was decided that the regular bust
ness meetings should be held at month
" intervals, and that quarterly meet
ings should be held for social purposes.
There will be several hundred Presi-
dents and Past Presidents in the State
eligible to membership.

ence at the C1unie last night when Miss
Eugene Blair presented the dramitiza-
ton of Mrs. Burnetts novel "A Lady of
Quality" The play is a strong one
throughout. 1t is, if history has not
belied the times, a fair extract from
the record of the frivolities, licentious-
ness and debauchery of certain order
of the English aristocracy in the middle
of the seventeenth century The audi
ence failed to find in the play that vein
of immodest suggestion which some
critics have referred to as best elimin-

expurgated is the essential and vital
meaning of the drama 1t is the story
OF a dashing, free-souled and innocent
country girl, brought up by her father
to boyish games and sports, and in
male attire. When she comes to love
she discards the garb for that of her
sex and charms and bewitches more

hight from the rising of the curtain I'M

pany to appear here that revived the
play under the Jacob Lift management
in New York in 1898 at the Broadway
Theater, where the piece had a phe-
nomenal run to crowded houses. 1t is
said that it was common thing there
for old soldiers to rise in their seats
and cheer the scenes with wild enthusi-
asm. General Miles witnessed the pro-
duction in Chicago and pronounced it
the finest stage war spectacle of all
the many he had seen, and in many
respects a historical picture. In the
play Sheridan appears at the head of
his cavalry; the battle of Cedar Creek
is depicted; there is an artillery duel;
a charge of cavalry by highly trained
horses and examples of signaling by
torch and by flags.
