Rican measure. but included in its scope
all the problems attendant upon the con-
troll and government Of our insular posses
sious. He spoke in favor of the resoiu-
tion OF Wellington, which offers independ-
ence 10 the F'iiipinos, and against the bill
proposed by Spooner comforting authority
upon the president to govern the Philip
pines until congress should otherwise d.
rect Incidentally he opposed the tariff
proposed TO be placed upon Puerto Rioan
products. He maintained that when the
treaty OF Paris was ratified the island be-
came a part OF the United States, and con-
grcss had no more right 10 put duty on
her products than II had TO put a tariff
on products passing between New York
and Washington.
Unless you can get the supreme court

there is but one way to levy tariff upon
the people Of the United States 10 prevent
their trading with the rest of the United

10 do II. You must strike out that clause
Of the constitution which says all duties
must be uniform. I beg you 20 count the

sacrificed the money and lives Of the peo-

New York's Tenement Houses.


One of the indications of the i'm
provement of the masses in this city is
the gradual adjustment OF the tene-
ment. as the word is generally under
stood. The big rookeries, with their
small rooms. airlesS halls and rusty
fire escapes, are going out Of existence
in the ordinary course Of events, by
fire, tumbling down and being remov-
ed to make room for modern struc-
lures, and the people who live in them
are seeking more airy homes in the
suburbs or in the flats up town.
While the foreign element continues
to live in tenements for the first year
after reaching New York the children
Of foreign parentage are not willing to
exist in the noisome quarters of the
east and west sides. They crave more
light, more air and cleanliness, and in
many cases they get it. Rapid transit
makes Harlem as accessible as Grand
street, and there is no occasion to live
in a down town tenement unless one
likes it.
No new tenement houses are build
ing. The fiathouse has taken it's place,
and in the course of time the foul bar
racks in which scores of families are
crowded will be a thing Of the past and
only remembered as part of q distem-
pered dream.-New York Letter liz

Rather Cold BIooded.

Of the tactics OF infantry there is
no end but there are some simple
rules for the individual foot soldier to
remember when lost in the chaos Of
battle. If you cannot bayonet your
enemy. shoot, him. If he goes away,
aim at the base of his spine. But do
from business by the consideration
that other people are making mark
of you. 1t is your duty to kill the
highest possible number of those op-
posed to you, not to save your own
skin.-"How Soldiers Fight" by e.

Africans and the Locomotive.


The children of the desert were filled
with awe when first the silence of the
primeyal solitude was broken by the
putting of the steam engine. Down at
the other end of the Cape to Cairo line
the simple Matabele, when first con-
fronted by a locomotive. were certain
that the strange machine was worked
by the labor of an indefinite number of
oxen, which they assumed were shut
up inside; hence, when the engine stop
ped, they gathered in curious crowds,
waiting to see the door open and the
oxen come out, nor could they for many
days be persuaded that the power Of
the locomotive could come from other
than the strength of the OK.
The Arabs of the Sudan. more imag-
native than the Matabele, saw in the

that seven Of them were already dead
and the other three were dying. The
exciting scenes around the entrance
10 the mines where the men were
working extended throughout the entire

came in with their families and with
greatly exaggerated reports concerning
the calamity. At the mouth of the

entombed were there in full force, and

Rescue Work Was Very Difficult.

There was an army of willing rescu-
ers and it is impossible to describe the
amount of work done by this army of
men, but they were greatly impeded
because of the extent Of the blockade
at the entrance to the drift. The large
heavy side tires of the entrance were
blown out to some distance, together
with a lot of heavy timbers. Even
mules were blown out some distance.
The force of the explosion caused an
immense falling of slate and other
debris, so that the entrance was filled
up for great distance, and the diff
culties in digging through it caused
delay in the work of rescuing.
