OUR ISLAND POSSESSIONS.
Ayers "Board of Experts" Will
Make a Long Tour.

Vl'rAC q A-OAAS0 AOOAs
Washington, Feb 1.-THE board of
experts on insular affairs have estab-
lished themselves in their new quar-
tiers in the Lemon building, and are
going over a mass of papers referred
TO them by the war department No
action will be taken upon any applica-
tons for franchises until the board has
taken UP the matter in the field and
made a personal and thorough exam
ination into the merits of each case.
The members of the board will leave
here in about ten days, starting direct
for Havana. They are likely TO be
away about three months, six to eight
weeks being required for their investi-
cations in Cuba. So far no reference
has been made to any of the smaller
islands in and about Cuba and Porto
Rico, including the Isle of Pines, which
have been almost completely lost sight
of in the recent trend of events. Some
of these islands are regarded as ex-
tremeIy prosperous and healthy, and
persons who have just returned from
the Isle of Pines speak Of it in eTthu-
siastic terms General Kennedy the
head of the board of experts, predicts
that yellow fever will be driven out of
Cuba within five. years. He says it is
now confined almost exclusively to the
large cities, and that, with municipal
improvements, there is reason to be-
lieve the island will be ridden of the
yellow fever ravageS. although there
might be a few occasional cases from
time to time. Meantime, the yellow
fever cases, he says, are likely to be
steadily growing miider.

The arrests were made on indict-

in Maine. The authorities say the pris-
oners formed the Fairfield Floral COM
pany of Maine, with an alleged capital
stock of 100000. They advertised ex-
tensively for persons who wished an
education for nothing to send 2-eent
stamps. Then followed an elaborate
system of plucking those who answered
, the advertisement. Outfits to make
artificial flowers were sent them. For
a. consideration, material was sold to
them, which the company agreed to
buy back when it was made into flow
ers. Some victims, it is said, were let
in for S110. A man employed by the
prisoners told the postoffice authorities

BIG PACIFIC LINERS.
Larger and Finer Than the Famous
Atlantic Steamships.


Newport News, Va. Feb. 1.-THE
contact for the two 12,0O0-to ton Pacific
Mail steamships, each costing 50, OOO.O0O,
has been awarded, it is stated, to the
Newport ShiDbuilding & Dry Dock
company, but no official statement 10
that effect can be obtained.
These two ships for the Pacific Mail
will be the largest so far built at an
American yard, their dimensions being
greater than those of the American lin
ers st. Louis and st. Paul. The two
new ships will be duplicates in every
particular. Their length will be $50
feet, and their beam 6S feet. The di-
mansions of the St. Louis, the largest
ship OF the American line, are: In
length, 1858 feet; beam, 63 feet; depth,
2S.S feet. Thus it will be seen that the
Pacific Mail liners will be 14.5 feet
longer than the st. Louis. They will

have a tonnage of 400 greater than the
St. Louis.
The ships Will be fitted out in luxur

will also have facilities for handling
freight and mail, and, when completed,
will ply between San Francisco and
China.

Delaying the Procession.

The secretary of the interior has
been requested to direct the ap-
praisemen and allotment of Choc-
taw and Chickasaw lands to begin
as soon as practicable. There are
more lands in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations than in all of
the rest of the Indian Territory
put together, and yet there seems
to be disposition to leave it un-
til the last. Their agreement was
first made; its ratification is COM
plete; the survey of their lands has
been completed; the money to pay
for the appraisement and allot-
ment of the lands has been appro-
priated, and yet nothing is being
done. The roll can be completed
long before the appraisement of
the lands can be made.
The general land Office has been
directed to ascertain the number
of acres Of Choctaw Orphan land,
yet unsold, in the state of Missis-
sippi, so that an estimate can be
made, under the Choctaw and
Chickasaw agreement, for the
proper amount of money to be ap-
propriated and placed to the credit
Of the Choctaw orphan fund in the
United States treasury.-Wash-

He FEARED THE COLONEL
What Emmett Dalton Said Of
Capt. ElIiott's Influence.

The Arkansas City Traveller,
whose editor, T. W. Eckert was a
warm personal friend Of the late
Captain D. S. Elliott, prints the
following story which will be read
with interest by every person in
this community:
Emmett Dalton had been in the
penitentiary but few months be-
fore some of his friends in south
ern Kansas and Oklahoma urged
him to apply for pardon. 1t was
represented by them that the Cof-
feyville crime was the first in
which he had participated, and
this he strenuously alleges to be
true.
1t is claimed that he was forced
into that raid on the Coffey vile
banks, by his older brothers.
against his protests. His extreme
youth, former good habits and
blameless life were urged as reas-
ons why pardon should be
granted,
II these claims are true, they are
ample grounds for executive elem
ency, but they could not get EN-
mett's consent to apply.
Two years ago, Dalton said to the
writer: II shall never apply for
a pardon until | have assurances
that one man at Coffeyville will
not oppose IT."
who is that?'
"Colonel D. Stewart Elliott, of
the Coffeyville Journal was the
reply.
"Why do you dread Mr.. Elliott's
opposition more than that of other
prominent.men Of Coffeyvillef"

A few months after this conyer-

related the substance OF it to him.

SECRETARY HAY AT HIS DESK
Earlier Arrival from His Vacation
Than Expected Suggests that Inn
pOrtant Matters Are in Hand.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Secretary Hay
arrived in Washington this morning and his
appearance at this time, when it was under
stood that he would not return before the
end Of September. gave rise to the SUPPOSE
tion that some emergency interrupted his
vacation. 1t was suggested that there was
to be a meeting OF the American members OF
the high joint commission and also that the
secretary's presence was required to carry
on some negotiations to perfect the Samoan
treaty. The secretary contented himself
with the statement that some odds and ends
of business of no great importance had
called him to Washington. He Will remain
only a few days. President Mckinley is ex-
pected back by Friday or Saturday and the
secretary will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to advise with him respecting pend
ing questions before the State department.
Among the callers on Secretary Hay this
morning was Baron Sternberg Of the German
embassy. He is the German member of the
Samoan commission and his visit at this
time was to learn when Mr.. Trip will come
to Washington. This may bring the COM
missioners again and lead to further steps
In carrying out the proposed new adminis-
tration for Samoa.

LAW CODE FOR PORTO RICO
InsuIar commission which L. prepar-
Ing II submits Its REPORT to
Secretary Root.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SO.-The 1nsular
commission, which has been preparing a
code for Porto Rico. has completed its labors
and submitted Its report to Secretary Root
today. This code is drafted with a view Of
ENGRAVING the laws Of the United States
upon the old Spanish laws in force in the
island at the time of the cession.
The commission will cease to exist to-
morrow. The commission has confined it.
self almost exclusively to the preparation
of a code for Porto Rico.
While the United States maintains mill
tary control OF the island this code could
be promulgated as the law Of the island by
order OF the president. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the whole matter will be sub
mitted to congress.
The code abrosates all Spanish law and
royal DEGREES, and all systems OF procedure.
1t puts in its place the provisions ot the
code modified after the laws of the United
States. 1t makes applicable to Porto Rico
certain statutes OF the United States so that
no loophole is left. 1t provinces a quasi ci,It
government similar to that under which
New Mexico was governed before the
territorial government was instituted.
An American court system is pro-
vided; a supreme court, district
court, probate court, justices OF the
peace and police courts In the cities. Also
a federal court to have exclusive iurisdic-
ton OF all federal questions and current
jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters.
The supreme court is to consist of hVe
judges and the proper number Of judges and
officials for the other courts will be APP
pointed. The code provides for a board Of
public instruction and the official language
OF the island is to be English. The island
Is divided into seven districts with a COM
plete system of county and township organ
ization.
No provision is made for elections, the
commissioners stating they are abundantly
satisfied that the people OF Porto Rico are
not ready to exercise the election franchise.
