tries Hawaii was and for several years
had been enjoying the benefits of abso-
lutte free trade with the United States
thru the provisions of reciprocity
treaty entered into several years ago.
1t will thus be seen that while Hawaii
had an equal voice In STIMULATING the
conditions of annexation. Porto Rico,
being territory wrested from Spain by
conquest, came to US as the spells of
war and without stipulations or condi-
lions. In the history of wars of all
times no conquered people has been
treated with magnanimity and liberal
ity equal TO that accorded To Porto
Rico thru the act of the United States
congress in establishing tariff
amounting to only 4 per cent ad valo-
rem and in providing that every dollar
OF money collected under that tariff
should be turned back TO Porto Rico
for the benefit of its people. No nation
has ever before dealt With conquered
country upon such terms as these"

0vERDRAWN STATEMENTS.

& p.
Western readers will recall the state
ment given out i'll the east of a bride
who received wedding check for a
million dollars from her father Other
wild statements were made at the time.
The marriage was that of Mr.. Hastings
and Miss Benedict at Greenwich, Conn.
last month. One of the results of the
absurd reports printed by the New
York papers is that an enormous num-
Der of letters has been received by Mr..
y. G. Benedict's family from light
witted people of various sorts. One old
lady asks for money to enable her to
take a journey to meet her four sisters
whom she has not seen in sixty
years" Another woman demands $4,000
to pay off a mortgage on her house and
insists that if the $4,000 can not be sent
at once that S. be sent anyway. There
are many more letters and some are not
so harmless. Here are some of the
published Measurements contrasted
with the facts as given by the New
York sun:
The wedding cost s1,500,000.

NO HOPE OF MEDIATION.

The retreat of the Beers toward their
own country and the newly aggressive
forward movement OF Gen. Roberts
have started the discussion of the pos
sible capitulation OF the Beers. III is
unoff1cially stated that Kruger desires
to stop the conflict. 1t has been gener-
ally conceded by even their advocates
that they could not always hold out
against the heavy battalions of the
British, and recent events have tended
to confirm this view. Still, there are
others who have a sublime faith in
their cause, and an unreasoning expec-
tation that something will develop in
their favor-that by some stroke of
military strategy or common sense they
will continue to thwart their enemies.
Only by such stroke can new hope
dawn. 1t is plainly evident that foreign
powers will not intervene. The last
hope of this rests in the mission of the
Boer advocates who, having met failure
in Europe, now come to the United
States to make a plea for intervention
But their mission Will fail here, so far
as the republican administration is
concerned. The policy of non-interven-
ton has been SO well established that
no hope exists and none should be ems
couraged. The government of the
United States can not consistently take
any step in this direction as against
either of the contestants. 1t could only
consent to mediate in case both of the
warning powers were making appeals
to it, and such mediation could only be
of the peaceable sort. This position has
been we'll outlined by the attitude of
our government yet IL it is necessary
to reattirm it in strong terms there will
be no hesitation, or should be none
There is at present no hope of media
ton, for the British are meeting with
too much success to be in the attitude
of appealing for termination Of hos
tilities;; and their attitude is now so
aggressive that the leaders of the ma
ton have announced that the Beers
will not only be conquered, but the
country will be attached to Great Brit
aims realm.

best pneumatic tire, and more durable
than the solid rubber tire. II can be
manufactured for one-tenth of the cost
of ordinary rubber. and the weight Is
much less. The compound, which has
been called spneumastic," has been In
use since January on the wheels OF one
of the largest motor vehicles In New
York, to reinforce the worn out pneu-
matte tires, and 1t is said that there has
been no flattening or sagging, while
greater speed has been obtained. The
new product will not melt under any

great value therefore for insulating
purposes. The composition is patented

s1A1us oF PORTO Rlco AND HAWAII.

A correspondent Of the American
Economist in Ste. Genevieve, Mo-.
writes as follows concerning the differ
ence in the political status Of Hawaii
and Porto Rico:
'The republicans here are at loss
how to refute the charges made by the
democrats that the republican party
has shown unjust discrimination in the
matter of adopting free trade with Ha-
Z waii and then imposing tariff
amounting to Is per cent OF Dingley
tariff rates on imports and exports
passing between Porto Rico and the
United States. Even Puck brings this
allegation to the front with a cartoon
/ In its last issue. You will confer Ia
yor by giving US an explanation with
which to defend ourselves"
The Economist replies to the above
as follows:
THE answer to this query is so SIM
pie. SO easy and so clear that it con-
victs of the offense of deliberate per-
version OF fact all free trade newspa-
pers which have sought to show incon-
sistsncy and unfairness on the part Of
our government in its treatment Of
Hawaii and Porto Rico respectively.
The distinction between the two cases
consists in the fact that whereas Porto
Rico lis conquered territory and comes
to US without pre-imposed conditions
as TO any or all OF the privileges OF
citizenship in the great republic. Ha-
wall comes to us voluntarily seeking
annexation under specified conditions.
Among these conditions was q sttpula-

DEATH OF JOSEPH 4. POLI.
Occurred at 1,30 This Morning at His
 Home om C0lu bus Aytnue

Occurred at 1,3O This Morning at His
 Home om Columbus Avenue.
 Joseph A. Poli, treasurer of Polls the ater and brother of S. z. Poli, proprietor of the theater, died at 80 o'clock this morning at his home No. 241 Columbus avenue. MT Poli had been confined to his bed about two weeks, but had been in poor health for some time, suffering from a kidney trouble and complica- tions. About year ago he was seri- ously i'll for some time, but recovered from that sufficiently to be about and attend to business until he was stricken with this last sickness. It was thought last evening that there was a slight chance of his recovery. He was at tended by Dr. Verdi and Dr. Russell and everything possible to medical skill was done for him, but to no avail. He became very much worse about mid night last night and sank rapidly until he died at 80 this morning.
 MT. Poli was about forty-four years of age and leaves wife and three chil- dren, the youngest about two years of age. He was well known to the New EdVeu pupiic, HdNlHg DeeH dsSlStdHl manager and treasurer of the theater for a number of years. He had an un- usually large circle of friends, who will be deeply pained at the news of his death. When the sad event occurred this morning he was surrounded by his family and died in the arms of his brother, S. z. Poli, who had been a con- stant watcher at his bedside the last two days.
