WAS GOVERNOR OF GUAM.
Portusack Going to Washington to Air
O'Leary Troubles.

Frank P. Portusack who was the first
American governor of the island of
Guam is a passenger on the China. He
is en- route to Washington, d. c. where
he intends to lay before the President
details of his charges against Captain
Leary the governor of Guam who was
removed from service there after
vigorous protest had been made against
him. In addition to these numerous
charges against the deposed governor,
Ex-Governor Portusack has other and
more pressing charges in the person of
his four children, the youngest of which
is an infant. Mr.. Portusack lost his
wife recently and he is now taking the
four children back to her mother in
cation.
When the United States cruiser
Charleston under command of Captain
Glass took possession of Guam in 1898,
Portusack was the only American re-
siding there so he was appointed COVER
nor. Captain Leary of the Yosemite
relieved Portusack but according to the
later Leary tried to introduce changes
in the country in the most arbitrary
fashion. Portusach says that Leary
forbade the ringing of church bells, toll
ling at funerals and other customs
which We're very dear to the hearts of
the natives. In fact, Leary misman-
dSeu lHe lSldIlu 50 Dduly IOTluSdCh
says that he and others filed protests
which caused the removal of the dis
agreeable governor.
Portusack was born in Guam in 1865
and was naturalized an American citi-
zen in Chicago in 1884. He is said to
have worked as an elevator boy in the
Chronicle building in San Francisco.
Portusack called upon A. S. Cleghorn
former friend of his in this city. In
the afternoon the Ex-Governor received
former residents of Guam as we'll as
friends aboard the China.

A movement to interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
In the PanAmerican Exposition to be
held at Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated in some of the
public schools Of Pennsylvania and is
being taken up elsewhere as the wis
dom of the plan becomes apparent. The
idea is to have the teachers in the pub
lie schools write essays for various oc-
casions of an educational character on
the objects and aims of the Exposition
and the bearing that such a display
will have on the commerce Of the
world. A similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue
cessful and resulted in the attendance
Of large corps of teachers at that fair.
The plan contemplates also essays by
pupils. 1t is believed that in this way
much information can be spread re-
garding the benefits to he derived from
cultivatng closer relations with the
different countries of this hemisphere
and that it would result in greater in
telligence among the public school
teachers and pupils on this subject, as
we'll as larger attendance among this
class Of the population at the EXPOSE
ton.

ed 100000 for the purpose of being
suitably represented upon this great
occasion. 0The Exposition will con-
tinue six months and will furnish an
opportunity such as rarely comes for
the public to take note, at a glance,
of the wonderful progress Of the west
ern world. 1t will be like great uni
versity, at which the young and old
will become for the time being stu
dents Of western civilization.
About 10000 people have subscribed
to the stock of the Exposition, and it is
public enterprise in the broadcast
sense of the term, the aim being to pro-
duce magnificent spectacle to delight
the artistic sense of all who attend
and to present through the medium of
an army Of enterprising exhibitors a
true picture Of nineteenth century de-
velopemnt. John G. Milburn, an emf
nent lawyer Of Buffalo, is president,
and the director general is William
l. Buchanan, who was director Of the
departments Of agriculture, live stock
and forestry at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition at Chicago and afterward
for six years United States minister to
the Argentine Republic.
