ST. PAUL, Nov. 26.-According to re-
ports from Senator Davis home last
night the patient passed fairly comfort
able day. His injured foot was dressed,
and he bore the operation very well. His
delrum was trile less acute, and he
was able to secure some sleep. The
wound in his foot appears to be healing
nicely. The kidney trouble, however, does
not yield to treatment Toward evening
the senator became restless again. and

doctor does not issue Il bulletin during
the day on Sunday, so that any state
ment of the senator's condition is Of an

March 81, 1900. The letter was sent to

PORTO RiCO'S CONDITION.
Land Titles In n TnngIe-Good Roads
u NccessitN.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2G.-Thc COM
missioner Of the interior for Porto Rico,
William II. Elliot, in his annual report
to the secretary of the interior says that
much expert manipulation as well as de-
tectivc ingenuity will be needed to vn-
tanglc the mass of cross titles, duplica-
ton and tapping of grants and conces-
sions and Unauthorized occupation Of
public lands that have grown with the
centuries of rule in the interest of the
favored few. The archives of the island
were found in disordcrcd condition.
Many records of eases never have been
closed aud are mixed with those disposed
of. Rcarrangcmcnt and classification are
necessary prior to investigation. During
the early history of Porto Rico governors
and captains general held or assumed
the right to make grants of land. Gram
tees appropriated land in excess of their
original boundaries, and their successors
claim ownership. Many grants were
abandoned. In numerous Instances in
trudcrs took possession.
The first great, crying need of Porto
Rico, the report says, is good roads. At
the time of the American occupation
there was only one really good road. that
from San Juan to Ponce. and most OF
the island was and practically remains
without other means of reaching Il mar
ket or communication between towns
than over dilapidatcd and dangerous
trails often impossible for days. as all
streams there are tOrrcntal. The pro-
ductivcncss of the soil is so great and
the necessities for existence so inexpen-
sive that people can and do live and null
tiply in mountain districts, but remain
forever poor and ignorant
Permanent roads. it is predicted, will
work out the sadly needed reforms in
education. The commissioner proposes
to suggest to the legislature that a loan
be tloatcd large enough to build the most
needed roads at once

Meeting Covington and Newport was
swept away. The lumber yards. mills
and shipping generally suffered great
loss. On the Ohio side the Great and the

Wage Farmers Will Decide.

"Wanted, at once, fifty stone ma
sons" is the advertisement which has
recently appeared in Maine news
paper. An advertisement Of that sort
never appeared in that paper or in any
other paper in Maine or in any other
state in the Union while Mr.. Cleve-
land was presiding over the fortunes
of the nation and while his precious
policy of Free Trade, under it's taking
alias of Tariff Reform, was the policy
Of the country. Employers of labor
were not then hunting or advertising
for workmen. Free Trade does not
bring about any such state Of affairs
as that.
One of the differences between Free
Trade and Protection is that under
Free Trade men have to hunt for work
and generally have to hunt in vain,
while under Protection employers are
obliged to hunt for workmen, and
they don't always find them. 1t is
for the voters of the country to decide
between Mr.. Bryan's policy of Free
Trade, under which man has to hunt
work, and the Mckinley policy Of
Protection under which work hunts
the man.
