IN PORTO RICO.
DfctatOrfnl Power is Safe in General
Henry's Hands.


Henry'x Hands.
The following is an extract from an ar
ticle, entitled "The Condition of Porto
Rico by DR.. William Hayes Ward ap-
pearing in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews March, 1880:
Americans have occasion to be proud of
their chief Representatives in the government
of Porto Rico. Only three or four regiments
of the regular army remain in the island,
and Gen. Henry, who Is absolute dictator,
would feel perfectly safe with one regiment
only. 1t is well that several volunteer regi-
ments have gone, for they made some
trouble.
/, Gen Brooke, the first In command, was
succeeded by Gen. Guy v. Henry, than
whom no more faithful and competent Off
Ger could easily be found But ! was glad
to discover that such men prove not to be
rare in the service. Tho officers whom Gen.
Henry has put in command at the principal
centers, number of whom l met, though
bUrdened5 with Less responsibilities, were
evidently men of the same spirit. AS mill
tary commander Gen. Henry is practically
a dictator. whose word is law in all depart
ments of the civil government. He can re-
move any officer or reverse any decision.
Such power can be safely invested only in the
hands of such a man as Gen. Henry-a man
not only infieXibly honest but also tterly
devoted to the welfare of the people grd
the prosperity of the island, quick to find
their needs and with the moral courage to
do what he believes is right. He is a
scholarly man. an author of repute in mill
tary history; tireless in the executive work
which gives him no rest; willing to take ad-
vice and willing to correct any errors he
n ay have made. The people of Porto Rico
that is, those whose good opinion is worth
having-believe in him. and declare that lis
wise administration has saved the island
from great calamity"

keeps women looking young by keeping
disease away from those marvelously deli

DIR. SOLF ON HIS DUTIES.

Statement by the New President of the
Samoan Municipal Council.
DR.. Wilhelm Solf president of the mu-
nicipal council of Samoa, called on Presi-
dent Mckinley, in company with Secretary
Hay, yesterday afternoon. and had salts
factory conference in regard TO Samoan
affairs. DIR. Solf made a brief statement
last night.
Il am glad to observe the most satisfac-
tory feeling prevailing in Washington
said DR.. Solf, land 1 am confident that the
German and American authorities would
have little or no difficulty in arriving at a
most harmonious understanding on Samoa.
So far as l am concerned, my duties are
not of a political character, and my in
structions, received before leaving Berlin,
are, in effect, to use every endeavor to pro-
mote good feeling between the three pow
ers, and to avoid in every way possible
cause for disagreement. Naturally, / am
desirous of realizing that high aim and of
assisting in the quiet and orderly admins
tration of Samoa"
The doctor expressed the hope that the
press reports on the questions raised by
the British authorities regarding the de-
tails of the high commission would not
prove true, the German and American
authorities seemed to be SO near to a con-
clusion of the difficulties that it was greatly
to be hoped that those details of a really
formal nature would not too long defer a
full and satisfactory settlement.
He leaves here today, going to New York
and Buffalo, and thence west. sailing on
the 18th instant from San Francisco for
Samoa.
The President has not yet made a selec-
ton of the commissioner who will repre-
sent the United States government, but
decision is expected soon. He has before
him several names of persons who rank
high as publicists or as experts In inter-
national practice. Among the latter is Thos
w. Cridler, the present third assistant sec
retary of state. Another name under con-
sideration is that of Mr.. Henry Adams,
who finds his recommendation for prefer
ment through his former residence in Sa-
moa and acquaintance with the habits of
the people and his scholarly qualities.

Handicapped by FaHacies.
my hobby is steam craft and in studying
these l have found that every great inven-
ton has during it's early period been har-
messed to fallacy.I have divided these
fallacies into four general classes and have
observed how they have tended to obstruct
the development of science in that direction
for periods running as long as fifty years
For instance, Watts had theory that a
steam boiler could never stand a greater
pressure than three pounds greater than
the atmosphere, and as he practically con-
trolled the field of invention in this line for
twenty-five years there was little progress
Why, he even went SO far once to invent
and patent a boiler made of wood.
. In this way the steam locomotive was
held back many years Similarly, although
the screw propeller was invented early it
was laid aside for more than thirty years.
when 1t was restored to It's rightful place
Shtpbuilding Is science, and improve
ments are slow because SO many natural
and physical difficulties interpose. In mod
ern passenger vessels it seems to have been
found that the greater their length the less
subject are they to wind and wave. The
extreme length conserves motive energy
and prevents loss of headway by tossing
on the waves. 1 think a revolution in the
machinery of steam vessels is approaching.
The study is now to get greater power out
of smaller machinery and to substitute gas
explosion for the use of coal under boilers
