ROOSEVELT IN AHURRY.
Wants Gen. Wood Made Governor
of Cuba at Once.

New York, Nov. 13.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley will tell congress
of his Intentions to appoint civil gov
errors of Cuba and Porto Rico and may
even wait for congressional action be-
fore announcing the appointments. This
statement is made on the authority of a
member of the committee of foreign re-
lations who has just talked with the
president on the subject
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president for the imme-
date appointment of these governors.
Governor Roosevelt is particularly ur-
gent in his championship of Gen. Wood
for the Cuban billet. He wants the ap-
pOintment made at once, believing that
the time is ripe for civil government
and that Gen. Wood is just the man to
effect the change with the best results
for all concerned.
The president is inclined to agree
with Governor Roosevelt on all points
except the immediate appointment
With congress only a few weeks off, he
is considering whether it would not be
advisable to allow that branch of the
government to have a voice in the
matter. A comprehensive plan for the
government of Porto Rico is now being
worked into shape by Secretary Root
which will be presented in the form of q
bill similar to the one now pending for
the government of Hawaii.

ED. HOWE,S FABLE.
Kansas People May Be Able to Find
the Moral,

The Atchison Globe is responsible for
the following;
Recently, at an auction store in
Kansas City, the auctioneer was selling
cigars by the box. To demonstrate that
the cigars offered were good, the auc-
tioneer said he intended to throw a box
into the crowd, as samples.
He made a preliminary talk, saying
he hoped everyone present would get
cigar, and smoke it, and then be in
position to bid intelligently at the sale.
There were at least fifty men pres
ent: most of them big stout fellows, but
one medium sized man in the lot took
particular note of the auctiOneer's pro-
position to throw a box of cigars into
the crowd. He noted the auctiOneer's
words, and quietly waited. When the
auctioneer finally opened the box, and
threw the cigars into the crowd, the
man who had been so much interested,
sprang into the contest, and grabbed
right and left. He pushed and jostIed,
and tramped on mems toes, and seemed
to be everywhere at once. When the
scramble was over, it was discovered
that the man had secured fOrty-seven
of the fifty cigars thrown into the
crowd.

DOUBLE HEADER WRECKED
Crashed Into Rear End of Another
Train.

Pittsburg, Nov. 13.-A double headed
Pittsburg & Lake Erie freight train of
55 loaded coal cars crashed into the ca
bose of another train at NIcKee's rocks
last night and piled the wreckage up
high. Three men were in the cabOOse.
One of them was taken out dead. An
other had one foot crushed and both
legs broken, and a third was so badly
injured that he may die. By some it is
thought that another man. an unknown
probably a tramp who was stealing a
ride, was also killed, and that his body
viii be found when the wreckage is
cleared away. The accident is blamed
by the trainmen on the negligence of
the hagman of the train that was
struck.
The killed:
ALFRED c. CARTER. engineer of
BraddOck.
The injured:
Thomas B. Brown, conductor, badly
crushed, will probably die.

Washington:
''The Northern Pacific company has dis
posed Of seYen-eighths of its land in
Spokane, Adams and Lincoln counties,
and is making large, sales almost daily
In other districts. Immigration into
Washington and the coast states has been
excellent, and the class of people which
has gone there is the best. There have
been more people located on lands In
Eastern Washington during the past three
years than during any other period in the
history of the state.
In Central Washington large num-
Der of industries have been opened up
and the country has made rapid progress.
The creamery industry is developing, and
in many sections there are establish
ments turning out product to rival that

cities seem to be making permanent prog
ress.
ION other sections of our lines the same
conditions exist. There seems to be gen
eral prosperity and the business indicated
for next year is excellent. One feature
of this years immigration which deserves
to be marked is the fact that the settlers

Approval.

The committee on streets from the
board Of aldermen turned down the speci-
fications prepared by City Engineer
Claussen, Supt King and Electrical In
spector Varnum for new po-
lice alarm system last evening
The committee recommended speci-
fcations submitted by Aid. Bell
after g long discussion. Banks Cregier of
Chicago, requested that the specifications
of Aid. Bell be amended so as to allow
his company to put in a bid and this
was finally agreed to.
The specifications call for los boxes and
new apparatus at the central and each
substation Separate bids are asked for
the purchase of the equipment and also
for the installation of the system.
e. p. Birge, former superintendent of
the patrol system. reiterated his PROPOSE
ton to repair the present plant for less
than $1,000 and guarantee it for ten years
providing he was placed in charge. Aid
Kenny favored the acceptance of the
proposition of Mr.. Birge, claiming that 1t
was folly to spend SIC, 900 when the pres

$1,000. The specifications will be presented

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The report of the commissioner of navi-
cation will no doubt be effective in di-
recting pubic attention anew to the mis-
cradle condition in which the foreign
shipping interests Of the United States
are at the present time. That report is
sufficiently exhaustive and able to leave
little doubt on the mind Of anyone who
reads it, no matter what his views may
be as to the wisdom of congressional
subsidies, that intelligent and steadfast
action is needed on the part of congress
if We are ever to get out of the position
Of having our foreign shipping done in
foreign bottoms
The simple provision assuring to this
people the control of their own coast
trade has operated to establish the great
est coasting shipping trade Of the world.
Why can we not agree upon some other
such regulation as will reinstate US at
ago we occupied, of being second to Eng
land, the largest foreign carrier among
the nations? OF course we can if we will.
But the failure for nearly two genera
lions of our national authorities to take
substantially any step in that direction
shows that the difficulties are not as
easily overcome as one might be disposed
to think.
We have devoted less than a million
dollars in a given period to the promo
ton of our foreign shipping when twenty
| five times the amount is available to more
! than one of our foreign competitors We
cannot sail our ships as cheaply as they
can. That has been steadily recognized
| during the entire period of our decadence.
This fact, of itself. ought long ago to
| have opened the eyes of our legislators
| to the urgent need Of so equalizing the
| conditions as to overcome this disad-
vantage. This we must do or give up
cur effort With foreign nations behind
| their own shipping masters with money
| and legislative advantages, 1t should be
! quite plain that our national government
must do at least as much as other ma
| tions do It may be that we will, by
the superior ingenuity and enterprise OF
our people, be able to disregard the diff
ference in compensation between Amer
lean and foreign seamen, as we succeed
in overcoming the difference in the Amer
lean and foreign scales of wages in other
| industries, but until we take hold of the
| work Of government sustainment or
something Of the plane on which 1t is
practiced elsewhere. we will remain II
our present situation
The most urgent demand with reference
| to an American merchant marine is IL
! connection with the trade of the Orient
| There our opportunity presents itself t.
us. We must soon decide whether it shall
be taken at the food, or allowed to flow
rapidly by US. The incoming congress
will determine this. Our merchants AM
shipbuilders are ready to enter into tn
contest if they can do so without tn
