PETITION OF THE ISLANDERS.

Washington, Feb 21-A memorial of
protest and petition from the people Of
Porte Rico TO the congress OF the Unit
ed states WAS presented TO the senate
and house yesterday. The petitioners
ask that the military be withdrawn:
that Porto Rico be declared an integral
part of the United States; that unre-
stricted free commerce be established
between the United States and the is
land: that American money be substi-
tuted fer Porto Rican money. ana that
4 commission be appointed to codify the
laws and consider insuiar interests. The
Ipcsition is signed by the Porto Rican
delegates in9the city.
Secretary Root yesterday sent to the
senate letter from Cen. Davis with a
petition from Porto Ricans asking for
free trade with the United States In
the letter which is dated San Juan Feb.
| IA, Gen. Davis says:
II can not in any words at my COM
mand overstate the urgency and gravity
of The industrial paralysis now existing
in Porto Rico.
"The only remedy for the industrial
Condition ] can suggest is the opening
lof the markets for accumulated surplus
OF production and the establishment of
such trade conditions by congressional
Legislation, as will give confidence to in
lvestors and encourage the development
of the natural resources. Until this is
done the paralysis must continue, and
! the poor and helpless. in increasing
numbers. must be fed or they Will starve
to death.
/ Minneapolis. Feb. a,-Former Cnited
States Senator w. ID. Washburn re-
ceiyed Il telegram yesterday afternoon
! from a leading republican member of
4 congress asking if it would be batter 10
appropriate S2,o0o,o00 to pay the ex-
Ipenses of the Porto Rican government
i than To impose the - per cent tariff. He
lreplied:
''Yes. anything is better than the
adoption of wrong principle. Under
the bill the Porto Ricans really pay ev-
erything Why not do as With other
Territories? In my Judgment the whole
business is impolitic and i'll advised and
is receiving the earnest condemnation OF
the American people. Here sentiment is
against it absolutely. Leaders can moi

Roberts:
"Paardeberg. II a. m. CTuesday)-
From information furnished daily to
me by the intelligence department,
1t became apparent that cronje's
forces were becoming more depres-
sed, and that the discomfort Of the
troops and discord among the lead
crs were rapidly increasing. This
feeling was doubtless accentuated
by the disappointment caused when
the Boer reinforcements, which tried
to relieve Cronje, We're defeated by
our troops. On Feb. 90, resolved.
therefore, to bring pressure TO bear
upon the enemy Each night the
trenches We're pushed forward to-
ward the enemy's laager, so as grad
ually to contract his position. and at
the same time bombarded it heav-
lily with artillery. which was yester-
day materially aided by the arrival
of four six-inch howitzers, which 1
ordered up from De Aar. In carry
irg out these measures the captive
balloon gave great assistance by
keeping us informed of the dispose

At g a. m. today a most dashing adj
vance was made by the Canadian
regiment and some engineers sup

In late years men have made fortunes
out of the tailings of gold mines. The
mills in which the are formerly was
crushed and the crude processes then
in use allowed large percentage of
the precious metal to escape, and that
loss amounted in some cases to a for
tune. The stomach is just like stamp
mill in this respect, that when it is not
in perfect order it allows the escape
and waste of much Of the precious nu-
triment contained in the food. That
loss when continuous means the loss
of mans greatest fortune-health.
Science offers a remedy for this condi.
ton in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t corrects the weakness
of the stomach, prevents waste and
loss of nourishment and puts the stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nutri-
ton into a condition of health which
enables them to save and assimilate all
the nutriment contained in the food
when is eaten. In all cases of consti-
patton the use of Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets will speedily and permanently
cure the disease.
