 Close.

After an official Investigation here, Solares was exonorated and Pastor imprisoned for cdis pable negligence and Is in prison.

NAMING OF A CIVIL GOVERNOR

Correspou5l nee nj the Associated Press.
 San Js4.. 1oi Rico, April 12.-A few days after the arrival in San Juan of the insular commission appointed by the presi- dent to assist him n colonial matters, it opened an office for public hearings. Gov ernor-General Henry extended to them ever possible facility for their inyestiga- tions
 After wo or three .eks at the capitol they went to several titles on the north and west sides of the islands and two of the members subsequently, made a hurried trip to the eas. coast. It has been learned through reliable sources that these gentle men are to report for an immediate intro duction of American laws and customs The Porto Ricans welcome the Americans, but the foisting upon them of this radical plan will make them a sullen people indeed.
 The policy of General Henry has been to introduce American methods and prin- ciples into the island as far as circum- stances would permit His idea is to colon- ize gradually, not to Americanize at once. Would Add to Distress To place American politicians in the public offices of the island, it is asserted is to dlslodge or reduce men thoroughly fa- miliar with the people and the language and add to the present general distress. Many of the native officeholders have se- cured sheor positions under civil service rules, and will prove efficient
 If the alleged suggestions of the insular commission are adopted, General Henry's policy, people here claim, will be reversed and civil governor appointed. Americans who have studied the island and it's people believe that if the military governor is re- l1eved he should be succeeded by a man who places ;uty above party and who will be in sympathy with the people and the gradual colonization of the island. The other offices should be given to the islanders except in few cases where short term of official instruction is necessary. The revenues of the island can be arranged upon basis that will not unduly oppress the people, who are extremely poor as a whole, and at the same time meet the expenses of local government and provide for yearly pay ment to the United States for its protec- tion. The goal of actual self government in Porto Rico lies in the remote future The insular commission was the recipient Of numerous addresses and memorials Most of these were of a political character and will probably never find their way to pub licity.

of the capitalist and contractor to get the best end of the bargain and to my mind all infammatory and denunciatory appeals, directed against the capitalist the con tractor, the money power, are idle and of no avail. Our warfare should be upon an unholy system, a system, too, that is as unseientific as it is unhoy, a system that hopes to Derpetuate itself through minister ing to greed, a system that is daily war fare, that Is calculated to make men hate each other,- system that makes our pre- tended democracy a travesty and exhibits our lie and practice denial of democracy and brotherhood, and it is therefore treason to the republic in which we are all pro- 1essed sovereigns and equals.
 Ownership of Public Utilities
 In every city in this or any other country that has adopted public ownership of its public utilities, the contract system and the franchise system will both disappear to- gether Every city, I say, that has adopted public ownership of it's public utlli- ties, has shortened the hours of labor, in- creased the pay of the men and improved the quality of service.
 Let the platform that commands the votes of the workingmen and reform forces be definite and positive for those things which we knew are essential to liberty such as equal liberty for all, and let us re- pudiate any platform that does not involve every one of these principles
 Mayor Jones closed amid a great demon- straton. He was intensely dramatic.

 'lf any one tells you that we reforme.s would destroy the right of property tell him that he tells not the truth. We would give to every industrial corporation, if you will, just what 1t produces. No govern ment has right to give away right or franchise created by the people in per petulty, and posterity has a right to spit upon such grant"
 N. O. Nelson of St. Louis spoke next, and was followed by William T. Emmett.

DECLARED A BOYCOTT.
Cincinnati Musicians Union Will Not
 Participate In Saengerfest.

Cincinnati, April 19.-The Musicians Protective association, has decided to com pleteiy boycott the coming Saengerfest in this city. No member of the association will be permitted to take any part in the Saengerfest, either member of the or chestra and escort of visiting societies, or in the parade. All participation is forbid den. The reasons given for this action are that non-union labor has been employed in the erection of the Saengerfest building that the Thomas orchestra, not a union or gapization, has been engaged for the fest, and that the executive committee of the fest has disregarded the propositions of the association to furnish 100 musicians and for a conference.

 eral of Porto Rico.

New York, April 19.-A special from Washington says:
 ''The successor to General Guy V. Henry, as governor general of Porto Rico has not been selected, but the assignment of Brig adler General Fred D. Grant to the Philip pines has been held up, and some of his friends are urging that he be promoted to the vacancy.

This will leave as the American garrison only the Nineteenth in- fantry, Fifth cavalry, the three batteries of the Fifth artillery and the Fourth com- pany of the volunteer signal corps.

There Were no Sensational Features Developed Yesterday and Dry Rou- tine of Figures and Involved Ex-
 planai ons Dragged Heavily

Philadelphia. April 19.-Unexpectedly to almost every person interestd, the prose- cution in the trial of ex-United States Sena- tor Quay rested its case
 The general expression of opinion was that the trial would drag through much longer, and when Attorney Rothermel an- nounced he had concluded there were ex- pressions of surprise from all parts of the court. The end came at o'clock just be- fore the usual hour of adjournment.
 Judge Fiddle adjourned court until to- morrow in order that MT. Quay's lawyers may decide upon their course. As to what extent the testimony of the defense's expert, should be called, may off, set Mir. Goldsinith's testimony, remains to be seen. The contention of the defense in argument and cross examination has been that the calculations of Mr. Goldsmith are not borne out by the books but on the other hand show Mr Quay did not use state money nor receive interest on state depos- Its and whatever loans he received were made in the customary manner and backed by sufficient collateral
 Proceedings Dry and Dull Today's proceedings were devoid of sen-
 
 ures and involved explanations of accounts took up most of the time. Mr Goldsmith S cross-examination was concluded and re- direct examination was begun by MT. Rothermel. The points brought out by him were deficient by the omission of certain sums received as interest; that it was cus- tomary to designate call loans by initials instead of names. Upon the question of MT. Quay's interest in the deposit account from May, 1896, to October, 1897, MT. Gold smith said:
 Tn 1896 on June g the balance was s256; on November 27, $2777.66; on November 2S again $256 in 1897, on January ', 50 cents; on October 26, $10,0OO50; and on October 27, 1 50 cents, at which it remained until the 1 end of the month. These are all the varia- tons from April 90, 1896, to October 31, 1887. D Director of the Mint Henry K. Boyer was | on the stand, and after testifying to pay l ing interest in October, 1897, on a call loan, | asked permission to make a statement in l reply to the district attorneys allegations | in the course of testimony that he received l interest on state money while state treas | urer from May, 1889, to May, 1891. His l statement was not allowed, but the court | stated all records of replies to those ques- | ticns were stricken out under the courts 8 | ruling.

AT THE ARMORY.

Quarterly Meeting Of Second Regiment
Held Last Night.
The regular quarterly meeting OF the
officers of the Second regiment were
held last night and was very largely at
tended, every company being represent
ed Most of the discussion of the even
ing was on the arrangements preparato-
ry to the starting out for camp on the
21st instant.
Nearly all the arrangements have
been completed and several important
subjects were discussed. 1t was decid-
ed to do away with the old system of
furnishing cooks for the different COM
panies at the encan1pment from outside
sources, and 1t was voted to give in
stluctions to the various companies that
they were to provide two regular enlist
ed cooks These cooks are to report to
Brigade Commkssary Major Crofut at
Mantle on the Saturday previous to the
encampment, being August 49,.
This will give the cooks an opportuni-
ty to become acquainted with the orders
of the companies and will give Major
Crofut time to explain to the men any
point which might be brought up.
The arrangements for the officers
mess have been placed in the hands of
Colonel Burpee.
1t Is the plan of the officers. and the
point mostly talked of last night to fol-
low as nearly as possible under the con-
ditions the regular army method of
feeding the men. This will be a new
venture, and an officer said last night
that the plan would be comparatively
the same as that of the regular army
Numerous questions We're asked, and
a discussion on several points took place
during the meeting, but nothing else of
importance was decided upon The
meeting adjourned about 10 o'clock
The regular monthly meeting of the
second division, naval militia, was held
last night and nothing but regular rou-
tine business was transacted. The men
are getting ready for their cruise on
the prairie" but as vet a plan OF the
boat has not been received so that ar
rangements other than getting in read
mess cannot be made.
The new uniforms were received re-
Gently, and the men We're busy trying
them on last evening.
The uniform committee of the Grays
met and discussed several minor mat
ters.
