JACOBSDAL ENTERED
British Take Possession Of Boer
Town In Orange Free State.
MILITARY POLICE PATROL STREETS.
The Utmost order Prevails and Inhabi-
tants Show No III VIII Towards
tho Invaders.

Advices from Jacobsdal, Orange
Free State, state that Roberts troops
entered the captured town Sunday.
The utmost order prevails there.
Military police patrol the streets,
but not a stick of furniture has been
taken. A sentry has been placed be-
fore each store, and the soldiers are
allowed to enter and purchase what
they require.
Everything is so peaceful that the
inhabitants express the utmost sur
prise, as it had been diligently re-
ported that the British occupation
meant instant looting.
Judging from the conversations Of
the inhabitants, the Free State is
weary of the war. It is openly said
that President Steyn betrayed the
people. When the latter became sat
isfed there was no truth in the stories
Of the looting prociyities of the Brit
ish, the townspeople welcomed the
troops as friends. Since the battle of
the Modder river, the town has not
been garrisoned, but has been merely
used as a hospitable depot.
When the Beers fred on the British
Wednesday, the townspeople protest
ed. Although the British she'll
ing considerably frightened the wo-
men, the shells were only directed
at ridge beyond the town, which was
intrenched.
The German hospital remains in
beautiful order. 1t is clean and sani-
tary, and the wounded on both sides
are equally we'll attended.
A correspondent talked with a num-
Der of the Boer wounded, and they ac-
knowledged that the British move
ments had nonpulsed the burgher
commanders. Even now, it is added,
they are under the impression that the
sole object vas the capture of Jacobs
dial. When informed of the relief OF
Kimberley, they were at first incredu-
lous and then astounded. The landrost
remains in the town.
Other advices from Jacobsdal stated
that General Cronie, with 10000 men,
was in full retreat toward Bloemfon-
tein with General Kelley-Kenny fight
ing the rear guard and harassing the
retreat.
The Beers captured a large convoy
as a result of Thursdays fighting al
Riet river. The British casualties
were comparatively slight in view Of
the tremendous bombardment. Less
than thirty men were wounded and
but one killed.
General French's division was en-,
Enthusiastically welcomed at Kimberley.
The officers dined at the club in the
evening. The news of the entry into
Kimberley has greatly cheered the
troops, who are working splendidly.

PORTO RICANS KICK.
Merchants Make Loud Protest Against
ProhibltIve Duty.

Merchants Make Loud Protest Against
Prohibitive Duty.
Several of the largest merchants of
San Juan, Porto Rico, upon being in
terviewed, unanimously expressed
the opinion that immediate congress
sional action is absolutely essential to
the interests of the island. They say
that the crops are immovable, the pro-
posed duty, under the Foraker bill,
on sugar and tobacco, being prohibit
tive.
The estates are idle and bankers re-
fuse to advace funds on account of the
extension of mortgages; the planters
are desperate, and the people dis
couraged and they demand absolute
free trade.
The local press expresses the opin-
ion that the conditions on the isladds
were better during the dark days of
the Spanish regime.

FAVORABLE TO CANAL.
House Committee Makes Report
Showing Feasibility and Profit
of Proposed Waterway.

Chairman Hepburn, Of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, has submitted the report
Of the committee in favor Of the Hep
burn bill for constructing the Nicara-
guam canal. The report says in part:
'lf the provisions Of the bill can be
carried out the United States will,
within q few years, from six to eight
be in full ownership and control of a
waterway connecting the oceans that
it can defend and that it can use in the
interests Of its navy aud it's merchant
marine as wisdom may dictate. There
seems to be but little doubt that the
states Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
will give their consent for the con-
struction Of this great work.
After reviewing the several surveys,
the report countiues:
'These reports above referred to,
the opinions of the engineers and scien-
lists believed to be entirely competent
for their work, justify your committee
in recommending the undertaking Of
the enterprise as one that is entirely
practicable and that can be completed
for a sum of money the expenditure Of
which will be wise.
cit is true that the estimates of cost
are variable, ranging from less than
$40, 100000 to a possible $145, 900,
900. 1t is, however, proper to say
that the size and character Of the
canal estimated for is as variable as
is the cost. Fifteen feet depth and
fifty feet width was the size Of the
earlier project. Thirty feet depth
and 100 feet width are the dimensions
of the later proposed canal.
''Your committee suggests in dis
cussing the cash remuneration that
will come to the United States from
the ownership of this canal estimates
only can be made.
Gentlemen connected with the
Maritime Canal Company gave it as
their opinion that five or six millionf
of tonnage would be the amount that
would pass through the canal an.
nually. At present 81. 55 per ton is the
toll charged for the use of the Sue2
canal. If that rate was the rate
charged at the Nicaragua canal and
100000 be the tonnage passing
through it, an aggregate sum of more
than Sc, 000,0 900 would be the receipts
1t is estimated that the cost of main
taining.an operating the canal would
be 81, 900, 900 annually, leaving a prof
of five millions.

Although railway rates are cheaper
in Germany than in England, the av-
erage return of the British railways is
little more than one-half of the Ger
man yield. When we bear in mind
that in Germany not only the railways,
but telegraphs and telephones, are in
the hands OF the state, it is obvious
that a government possessed of such
resources is more Independent than
one which has to depend on taxation
alone. In the kingdom of Prussia
fiye-sixths of the public revenue is de-
rived from sources other than fiscal.
The state railways yield an annual
profit nearly twice as large as the
taxes levied, while the annual produce
of the state mines and forests is not
much short of the ann laI charge on
the public debt

The Philadelphia Public Ledger is
opposed for sentimental aud historic
reasons to changing the appearance of
the PRESIDENTS official residence. It
says: "Enlargements and additions
would destroy the symmetrical build
ing, which, in its present shape, is as
sociated so closely with the history of
the country that changes in its exter-
nal appearance would be, especially
since they are unnecessary, a piece of
icOnoclasm."

man Where Reception is Held.
On his arrival at Brooksville, Fla,
Saturday, Mr.. Bryan was met by a
large crowd which gave him arousing
welcome. He was at once driven to the
residence of his cousin, Judge Jen-
nings, where an informal reception was
held.
At noon a barbecue was served in
the courthouse square, after which
Mr.. Bryan was escorted to a stand
erected for the occasion, from which
he addressed the people at length on
the questions of the day,
He affirmed his undying faith in
free silver, advocated the adoption OF
the income tax, denounced the trusts
and imperialism and declared for the
freedom of the Philippines.
He was especially emphatic in his
statements as to the silver question
and closed by.saying that the old issue
of 16 to l was the "only relief in store
for the common people, His speech
aroused much enthusiasm and was
applauded throughout.

Thanks to scientists and inventors,
the world is beginning to save coal
Each year from now on will see a fur
ther saving. Perhaps the time may
come when the cities will be able to
do without coal, and thereby avoid all

The saving is brought about by the
instalment of great water power cleo

completed in Michigan that produces

this the current will travel ninety
miles through copper wires. The next

in the Santa Ann river, CAL, for light
and to propel street cars in the city
