Washington, Aug, 24,-According TO

pAFtIhent, the experiment OF enllstlng
natives OF the West Indies into tho
American army has proved quite sue
cessful In the case OF tho Porto Rlcan

lAl6 Office, speaking in high terms OF

Gays that the Porto Rican soldiers are
q fine lot OF men, obedlent and willing
TO learn; they take good pride In being
sOldlors of tho United StAtes army,
and are always very clcnn and neat,
Ills opinion Is that Porto RicAn soldiers,
onicered by Americans, will be a suc-
cesa and 4 valuable addition TO the

A number OF Detroit manufacturers,
AZ well as hundreds Of breadwinners In
This beautiful city, who far the past
half q century have acquired their
daily aud yearly sustenance from dis
tinct lines Of industries, are wondering
what the future has in store for them.
Twice in less than a year has that

aud one OF its agents visited this city OF

tory was gathered within its folds, the
doors locked that night never to be
opened again and three hundred toilers
told that they would never more be
wanted. How many died Of hunger,
how many new criminals ns we'll as
paupers and public charges, how many
heurtaches and saddened homes were
caused by this one little effect of
trust" visit to Detroit are questions
that eau only be answered by the
wisest OF the most wise.
Within the past week young Edward
Gould, the son Of his father, with his
young wife, dropped into Detroit and
stopped at headquarters engaged in adj
vance at the pretty sum of $50 per day.
He wanted to take q look at the Con.
tinental Match company plant, of which
industry he was the leading owner. On
the morning thereafter the match fac
tory started to work as usual, but
within an hour it was stopped. The
employees were paid off, discharged and
informed that the plant would not be
operated any more.
Two hundred employees, an hour be-

with the thought that wives and babies
would have the necessaries of life while
prosperity lasted, with heavy hearts

would be empty for many days and

"A number Of eminent men have ad-

"The only right way to get at this

land that is impossible at the present
time In Canada, up in tho Georgian
Bay district, there are great mountains
of iron ore. But the present high duty
on iron ores makes IL prohibitive to
operate over there at the present time
and ship into this market. II the next
congress would reduce the ore rate to
about 25 cents ton it would open up
half dozen mines In that section with
in six months and then half hundred
esta bllshed factories along the lower
lakes, now doomed and destruction,
would be saved and many thousands of
men given employment that are now
bound to be placed in idleness. And
you know that 1t would be impossible
to reduce the duty on iron ore Its
leaders answer that question. No, we
will shut down, our machinery will
rust away, our lands be sold for taxes
or other purposes and our men--God

Prompt the step.
Washing ton, Aug. 24,--The state de-
partment has been informed through q
diplomatic channel that General Otis
has applied the Chinese exclusion laws
to tho Philippines The information
was a surprise to the authorities OF
both the state and military depart,
ments, as the matter has been under
consideration for some time and 1t was
not known that General Otis had put
the exclusion laws into force,
In this connection the state DEPART
ment has received an important letter
from Mr.. Williams, our former consul
at Manila who still remains there In a
confidential capacity. Hc snyS the ma
tive Filipinos are strongly opposed to
Chinese labor, and, in his opinion, the
exclusion of tho Chinese from the Is
lands would materially aid in bringing
tho war to a close. He places the
Chinese population ut $4,000, which Ia
considerably moro than other estimates
from official sources.

he came to Detroit twenty-four hours
before.
But the two hundred ex-employes
and their families are still here, each
daily walking the streets seeking daily
employment at some place where a
"iudicious combination" has not been
calling.
And IL is these two little lessons that
has caused hundreds, yes thousands,
of toilers to stop minute and think OF
the days and years that are yet to
come
Now half dozen more industries of
Detroit are standing within the shad-
ow Of this new grim reaper that has
appeared in these waning years of the
nineteenth century, and 1t is only q
question OF few short months until
the funeral tnell is sounded once again,
The agent for this next visitor, the
Federal Steel company, has given out
its warning. Factory owners as well
as employees are awaiting the final
summons to idleness, poverty and per-
haps starvation.
Half q century ago, when the iron in
dustry was in its infancy, Commodore
Gaylord settled in the city Of Detroit
after an active life Of many years on
the lakes and started one Of the first
iron furnaces in this city. In all those
five decades the iron ore has come
down from the upper peninsula every
season, been piled upon the docks Of
the Gaylord iron works, and the fur
naces were kept a-fre every day in the
year.
"our days OF usefulness are about
over" said one Of the present owners
Of the Gaylord furnace to the writer
few days ago. 1.-The Federal Steel
company owns the mines, operates the
ore boats, controls the docks adjacent
to the mines, and they have given out
the word that as little fellers will
have to 60 out Of business, They are
not going to make any fuss about the
matter They are not going to fight
US In the markets to keep us from get
ting orders. We just cannot get any
ore after this season. The mines sim
ply reply when I ask for contract call
ing for 1900 delivery that they are all
sold out; boat owners reply that they
cannot land at the ore docks unless
they are chartered by the Federal
agents"
Besides the Gaylord furnace the
Carp River Furnace company, the PEN
insular Iron company and the Union
Iron company, all having fair-sized
plants in this city, that have been re-
ducing iron ore for number of years,
stand In the same shadow awaiting an
nihilatinn and final disintegration at
the command Of another great "judici-
Gus combination" None of these have
