in the territorial bill as it passed
the Conference Committee, to wit,
the clause which makes it compul-
cory for a candidate for the Legis-

Mr.: Canavarro has resided here
for many years and is a man who
commands the respect OF all and
whose friendship is an honor to
every man who has been fortunate
enough to meet him. He has re-
mained with the Portuguese colony
here and done his utmost in ad-
vancing their interests, although the
climate has not agreed with the
condition of his health; although
he has been entitled to promotion
in his department and in spite of
the constant drain on bis private
purse from the people whom he has
befriended every day since he ar
rived here.

when he again has been subjected
to an assault from which he by q
miracle escaped with his life, we
must beg his pardon for mentioning
the fact that 10 Mr.. Canavarro the
Portuguese have had friend that
any colony of foreigners ia strange
country would envy them. Mr.
Canavarro makes light of the attac b

The intelligent and educated
Portuguese have always acknowl-
edged the valuable services of the
consul although differences as to
methods might have occurred, but
as prominent Portuguese said this
morning "we know the sterling
character of Mr.. Canavarro, and we
feel Mortified to think that men be
longing to our colony should have
done an act which covers us with
suspicion and ignominy. There is
only one thing to say and that is
that the towards who attacked Mr..
Canavarro are irresponsible men OF
weak minds and that every decent
Portuguese will assist in bringing
them to justice and to place where
they will be unable to do further
harm"

.: :==s GATHERING OF RUBBER

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK ASl
SEEN FROM THE WILMINGTON.
By studying on a map Of Brazil, says
a writer in Ainslees you can see that
the Para river extends almost due west,
south of the Island of Marajo, to al
network of narrow streams known as
the Passes, which connect the Para
with the Amazon. These numerous
channels are from seventy to one hun
dred and fifty wards in width, and
some of them are navigable for vessels
of eighteen to twenty feet draft.
These Passes are interesting enough
to those traversing them in small craft,
but to the officers and sailors of such
steamers as the United States ship Will
mington they are trebly so. At night
there is little to arrest the attention
other than the weird, dark shapes of
the banks, which ever seem close
aboard. The land being low and fat
and the trees near the waters edge, it
seems as if the ship has forsaken her
natural element and is running over
land on invisible wheels. When day
light comes in a sudden burst of light
like the unheralded flash Of the the
atre's illumination there is revealed on
each side of the narrow channel the
forests solid wall exposing to view a
panorama or Overhanging vines, Of
creepers and foliage and branches bril-
liant with the multitudinous hues Of
tropical vegetation. There is a strange
ohattering OF animal life and whirr Of
winged insects. The discOrdant cries
of myriad parrots echo from the trees.
There is human life, too. Here and
there embowered in the jungle can be
seen little wooden huts with thatched
roofs and sides open to the cooling
winds. These are the homes of the
rubber gatherers, who labor day in
and day out collecting the milky sap
Of the Hevea brasillensis.
This rubber gathering is interesting
and the Wilmington's crew watch curl
ously as the winding channel reveals
little groups of natives at work along
the edge of the stream. Those on
board who have read the description
tell others of the manner in which the
half-naked Indians labor; Of how each
family works what is called an "es.
trada," or street-at path through the
forest-which embraces as many rub
Der trees as can be conveniently tend
ed; Of how these trees are slit with Z
machete and a cup fitted in the cut Il
catch the sap, and of the manner il
which the owner makes his daily roun,
and brings to his hut the collecte,
Juice. There is also interest in tn
description of its next stage, when tn
sap is dipped up by a stick and revolvei
over a smoky fire. The smoke cause
each layer to coagulate on the stick
and when the desired amount is form
ed it is removed and made ready 70
shipment. These balls of crude rub
ber usually weigh in the neighborhoo
of twenty-five pounds and are of a darH
lustrous hue. It was a novel expert
ence, this visit Of the Wilmington
crew to the home of the rubber gather
ers, and the closest attention was pal
to the ever-changing scenery as th
white cruiser steamed slowly throug
the Passes.
