pare For Worst.
CHAMBERLAIN Anglers THEM.

London, Aug. S0.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Morning Post says:
The Boer officials, after reading the ca
bled reports of Mr.. Chamberlain Biz
mingham speech, consider that war is
inevitable. The speech has undoubted-
" indamed the war spirit here. The
Beers are now all armed, except those
in johannesburg. Their commissariat
is fairly good. All the forts are amply
victualled The johannesburg fort has
been strengthened with several quick
firers.
The ammunition which Mr.. Schreiner
allowed to pass through Cape Colony
came direct to Pretoria. 1t was never
intended for the Orange Free State.
President Kruger does not hesitate to
express the view that war is almost in
evitable. He has stocked the presidency
with ample supplies of provisions to
secure his own person from priVation,
and he is often heard repeating the SD
psalm.
The Matabeles are showing signs of
unrest. The Beers are energetically en-
gagged in poisoning the minds of the ma
tives against the British, and they have
approached the Zulu chief DiniZulu
who appears undecided which cause tc
espouse. But the Zulus are preparing
for the expected lighting, and 1t mus
be remembered that Dinizulu was de.
ported to st. Helena, with several other
chiefs, and kept a prisoner there BY
the British for several years.
The Daily Mail says this morning that
it learns that large consignment Of
cartridges manufactured in ENGLAND
for the Beers has recently been shipped

Insular Committee
Urge Changes in
Porto Rico.
PRESENT PLAN FOR GOVERNMENT
School and Court System
Proposed English to
Be Taught.

Washington, Aug. 9O-The insular
commission, consisting of Gen. Kenne-
dy, Judge Curtis and Maj. Watkins,
which has given six months study to
the condition of the island OF Porto Ri
co, today made its report to Secretary
Root 1t recommends a form of civil
government TO take the place of the
present military regime and submits,
for adoption, a code of laws.
These laws, 1t recommends, should be
placed in operation by executive decree,
arguing that congressional enactment
of general laws would change the stat
us of the island towards the United
States and maize it part of the consti-
tutionaI territory of the United States.
The code of laws and the civil govern
ment proposed do not give the Porto
Ricans the elective franchise for any
officer nor extend to them the privilege
Of trial by jury except in United States
courts in cases Of felonies involving an
amount in excess Of $500. 1t recon-
mends that the military force remain
in the island, but be kept in the back
ground and touch the people only with
a soft hand. English is to be made the
official language CT the island, but for
the present all except the federal
courts are to be conducted in Spanish.
The code abrogates all Spanish laws
and royal DEGREES, and all systems OF
procedure, and substitutes the provi-
sions of the code modified after the laws
of the states OF the United States and
declares the common law and princi-
pies of equity to be in future the law OF
the land where no specific direction is
found in the code
In place of the Spanish system OF
courts, an American system is provid
ed; a supreme court, a district cour
and a probate court, with limited civi
and criminal jurisdiction, and justice:
of the peace and police courts in tbs
cities: also federal court, to have ex
elusive jurisdiction of all federal ques
lions and concurrent Jurisdiction in civil
and criminal matters.
A public school system, with a pro
vision for a superintendent and board
of public instruction, and a complete
system of public schools, conducted ir
English, by American teachers, is pro,
vided also night schools for illiterate
adults. The right to teach Spanish
where demanded is given.
MOI all the complications growing oul
of the currency in Porto Rico can be
Pemedied until congress shall place a
sufficient fund in hands of the presi-
dent, in the shape of silver certificates
or treasury notes, all a legal tender for
their face value, to enable him to take
up the Porto Rican silver, and authorize
him to have it recoined into American
silver dollars.
This needs authorization by congress,
and such authority ought to be asked
for.

TO RECLAIM FARMS.
Secretary Wilson Consider
ing Subject of Abandoned
Homesteads.

Washington Aug. 30.-Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson is arranging an ex-
haustive scientific investigation of the
abandoned farms of New England, with
a view toward their reclaRnation. He
has had many letters from New Eng
land inviting his attention to this sub
ject and has resolved to send several
of the scientists of the department
thither to make a study of the condi-
tions. Later the secretary himself will
make personal inspection.
Without having investigated the con-
ditions, Secretary Wilson inclines to
the opinion that the abandoned farms
in New England have been deprived OF
phosphates, potash, heterogeneous matter
and other essential ingredients, but by
careful cultivation the fertility of the
soil can be restored. A soil physicist
will be dispatched to make a careful
analysis of the soil to determine exact
ly what it lacks.
The secretary thinks that the plant
ing of grasses, legumes, clover, ETC.,
will restore the nitrogen and that phos-
pilates can be had by the introduction
of domestic animals. Potash must be
purchased. The secretary is very san
guine in his belief that science can re-
claim these once fertile, but long aban-
doned, farms.

Police Think There is
an,Opportunity for
ADMINISTRATION.
ANONYMOUS LETTER READ.
1t Makes Grave Charges
Against Mechanic Street
Officers.

incentive enough to warrant a Lexow
committeein Worcester to look into the
doings of the police department was in
PRODUCED to the 6 o'clock relief out of
station l Tuesday evening by the read
ing of an anonymous communication by
Sergt. Warren.
The communication purported to have
been written by a resident of the lower
end of Mechanic street, who said he
was tired of trying to have the officers
on the beat see violations of the law.
The letter was poorly written, and
stated that for some time past the Off
GERS on the beat at the lower end of
Mechanic street have failed to do their
duty. Two disorderly houses, the letter
said, have been running wide open and
a number of times the attention of the
police has been called to the matter but
all ITO no avail. The policemen, the
writer claims have been seen at diff
ferent times talking to the women in
the house, and every time any attempt
! has been made to raid the places, the
inhabitants have received tips.
The letter was received at station /
about 10 days ago by Capt. Matthews
ard pigeon-holed by him without a
consideration, as it is not customary in
the police department to take note of
unsigned communications.
A few days ago the letter was passed
up to Chief Of Police brennan for ref
erence, ard Tuesday night Sergt War
rem armed with the slip of paper walked
into the guard room, and after sizing up
the relief over his spectacles, cleared
his throat, and read it.
One of the officers who travels on that
hsat mentioned was in the ranks, but
the sergeant did not 81 are him and as
the communication was read, each word
fell like bomb on every man in the
relief.
No action was taken other than tc
have it read to the relief, and it was
again returned by Sergt. Warren for
final reference to the head of the de-
partment, and the relief marched ST.
lently to their pests.
1t was rumored in the station yester-
day that the letter was handed tc
Sergt Warren not to be read aloud Il
the members, but merely for inspection
by the officers on the belt.

DAUGHTER LOST.
Disappears From the Union Station
While Her Mother Talked to an Officer.

Disappears From the Union Station
While Her Mother Talked to an Officer.
Gertrude Thomas, 19-year-old girl,
whose home is in Lowell stole away
from her mother, in the Union station,
Tuesday morning, and has not been To-
Gated since. She was on the way with
her mother from her home in Lowell
to Utica, N. Y, and got off at the
Union station in this city to change
cars. Her mother went to talk with
officer Bellows about the leaving time
of the train, and the girl quietly slipped
out Of the station. AS soon as her abb
sence was noted by her mother, officer
Bellows was asked to look her up, and
he traced her as far as the outer door
of the station and there she completely
faded from view. She was seen running
through the station by some of the
employees of the baggage room.
Mrs. Thomas remained in Worcester
Tuesday night, stopping with Hugh
NARROW, a relative, who lives at SO
Orange street, and left Worcester yes
terday morning for Utica, as the tickets
would not be good for another days
stop over.
Officer Bellows thinks the girl is
slightly demented and surmised that
she must have returned to her home
is Lowell. officer Bellows also thinks
that if the girl is not insane, her
mother must be, and there the matter
rests as far as the police are concerned.
Both women were well dressed. The
daughter, as described by Officer Bel
lows, as slender. tall, and has pale
complexion. She wore a white waist,
black skirt, green jacket and a black
hat with green trimmings.
