A BOYS AWFUL CONFESSION.
The slayer of Little Louise Frost
Admits His guilt.

Denver, Nov. 15.--A pair of oyeralls
and shirt stained with blood were
found in the baggage of the three col
ored men. Preston Porter and his two
sons, who are detained in the city
prison here on account of suspicion
that John Porter, one of the boys, was
the murderer of Louise Frost. After
withstanding the pressure of the sweat
box at the city jail for four days John
Porter, who is 16 years old, last night
broke down and confessed every detail
of the killing of the l1-year-old girl.
The little girl was the daughter of
a ranchman living four miles from
Iimon, and she attended school in
town. On Wednesday last. while on
her way home, she was waylald, as
saulted and murdered. her body show
ing no less than IA knife wounds.
The police department sent two men
to Limon last night to verify some OF
Johns statements. They wish to be
absolutely sure of his guilt before
turning him over to the authorities at
Limon, owing to a strong belief that
he will be lynehed on his arrival at
that place.

We Are Master. of the Pacific.

Without the courtesy of Great Brit
ain not a German transport could ar
rive at Shanghai to begin the execu-
ton of the kaiser's purpose of check
ing .'single handed British aggression
in the Yang tse- Kang valley. With
the coaling stations of Gibraltar, NAL
ia, Alden, Colombo and Singapore clos
ed to them, the great vessels which
the kaiser has subsidized so literally
with the purpose of paying flying WIS.,
its to his neighbors' shores with an
army corps retinue would be reduced
to the use of sail power or sweeps.
They would be thus at the mercy Of
cruisers of the third class. France
would be little better off.
1t is when we see the plight of the
continental European powers in this
most vital of international relations
that we realize what president states
manship has done for this country in
two brief years. In the beginning of
1898 the United States, too, could reach
the orient only on borrowed COAL
fuel bought in the foreign ports of
Honolulu and Yokohama and in mac
cessible in time of war, as We're the
coal piles of Hongkong TO Dewey when
he was turned out to find a base.
Moreover, the chances were, with Ger
many seeking the Philippines and ia
pan Hawaii, that foreign powers would
make a way of reaching the oceident
with their own coal. The risk was that
a drawbridge might be let down, lad
der flung across our mighty moat of
the Pacific, so that some day we should
find n great host of our foes battering
at our western gate. The ladder has

BRIDGE.
more favorable than they have ever
been before. The construction of a
bridge across the Potomac extending
from the Naval observatory grounds to
some point in Arlington would open up
a much needed line of communication
between the city OF Washington and
the National cemetery and the ada
cent country, while nothing could be
more fitting as a memorial to the lofty
sentiment of American patriotism than
the erection of such magnificent
structure as Is outlined in the plans Of
the Memorial bridge between the cap
ital of the nation and the city of its
heroic dead. Its broad roadway and
spacious promenades would constitute,
with the tributary avenues at either
end, one of the most beautiful and i'm
pressive boulevards in the world.

Got the prop, ON His Enemies.

Tacoma. Wash, Nov. 15.-Former
Deputy Sheriff Richard Adams shot
and instantly killed Daniel Kildee and
William Kennedy at Gem, Idaho, yes
terday. Both men were union miners
and took prominent parts in the Occur
d'Alene strike two years ago. AT that
time Adams served warrants on them,
and incurred their deadly enmity.
They swore to kill him. They arrived
at Gem several days ago and have been
ON the lookout for Adams. He was put
on his guard by friends. Kildee and
Kennedy ran across Adams in a saloon.
Kennedy leveled his rife, but before
he could touch the trigger Adams had
sent bullet through his brain. Adams
then turned his gun on Kildee and
shot him through the head before he
had time to draw his revolver. A cor
oner's jury exonerated Adams.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
A National Campaign to Start in
Chicago Next Week.
TO PERFECT AN ORGANIZATION
1T 1. Proposed to work on Congress,
on state Legislatures, ON County
boards OF Supervisors and on city
Councils to Push the work.

Chicago, Nov la national cam
paign against bad roads on bigger
and more comprehensive scale than
any in the past Is to be organized IN
Chicago next week With the forma-
ton of national good roads associa-
ton, with branches in every state IN
the union, and If possible in every
county and every township, all the
forces which make for clean, level and
smooth roadways will be united for
harmonious work on every legislative
body of the country, from the national
congress and the state legislature down
to city councils and County boards OF
supervisors.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday OF
next week national good roads and
improvement convention is to be held
at Central Music Hail at the call Of
the Interstate Good Roads association
Col w. H. Moore, the president of that
association, is already in this city pre-
pairing the way for the meetings. Del
egates from every state, probably 2,OOt
in all, are expected, and before they
leave a national Good Roads associa'
ton will have been formed.
Other subjects to be discussed will
be an appeal to congress for an appro-
priation of at least 100000 for the use
of the bureau of road inquiry in pro-
pagating interest in the subject and
the building of a national highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

THE CAUSE OF THE FAMINE.

India Is country not quite half as
large as the United States, with four
times its population. These 300, 000,-
600 people must be fed from their own
crops, as there is, relatively, no
manufacturing resources to buy food
with. There are parts of India with a
population of 200 people to the square
mile: and there are millions upon
millions of farm laborers, Migrants,
gypsies, and nondescript classes,
whose means of living, even in times
of plenty, are inscrutable. In a nor
NAL year the country, as a whole, pro-
duces little more food thanis actually
necessary to support its people. But
the crops are dependent on the mon
soons-the southwest monsoon in the
beginning of summer, and the
northeast monsoon in the winter. If
these periodic rains are late, or are
insufficient in quantity, trouble comes,
and the spring and winter crops OF
NuNdts bdIlNA' anu IIulH'9 III lllt lOllll
and of rice and millets in the south,
begin to suffer. When the monsoons
fail absolutely, there is restitution in
the affected district, and when a per-
sistent succession of failures and
partial failures occurs, there comes a
great and terrible famine, like that
the country is now groaning under.
Since the first great famine of which
there are records devasted the land in
1870, when 10, 900, 900 persisted in Benga
alone, India has scarcely passed q
decade free from scarcity of grain in
one district or another. The British
Government expects a drought about
twice in every nine years, a famine
once in every eleven or twelve years,
and a great famine like the present
about twice in a century.-From "ThC

can Monthly Review of Reviews foi

AGrINALpO As A LIAR.

Nothing shows the desperate
straits to which the anti-eXpansionists
are reduced to find arguments to
sustain their position than their de-
termined contention that Aguinaldo
is Il virtuous, truthful patriot Sena-
tor Pettigrew even carried the matter
so far as to insist that Aguinaldo told
the truth when ne said that Spanish
soldiers captured six guns from the
Americans before the surrender of
Manila, and that the guns were recap
tured by the Filipinos and returned to
the Americans. The Senate referred
the statements to Secretary Root and
he referred them to General Greene,
who was in command of the American
troops at the time, and this Isl what
Gen. Greene says:
The statements made by Aguinaldo are
absolutely without foundationI each aud
everyone of them is untrue. the United
states did not fan back did not abandon
single rifle Tor single ,hed gun: did not
make precipitate retreat; the Flipuos did
not rush to our assistance; did not recap
ture the rifles ana field guns and did not
return them to the Americans. The
Filipinos took no part in the engagements
between the Spaniards and American
troops. Every single statement in the eX-
tract quoted In your letter is false"
a cause which quotes with approval
the report of disaster to American arms
made by the leader of a proundless
rebellion, and which is disappointed
when that report is proven false,
can never gain the support of the
American people.

OUR EXPANDING TRADE.

senator JOuHt Is one vi lllt lup9l
careful and thorough investigators
of the expansion question in all of its
bearings He has just been eXamin-
ing the growth of our trade with
Hawaii. and finds that five years ago,
in 1895, the total Hawaiian trade with
the United States amounted to only
$ll, 5000 900. Last year it reached
S33, 800, 900, having increased almost
threefold within five years, and most
of this increase has occurred within
the past eighteen months.
The Senator says we may not think
that business of S33, 800, 900 amounts
to very much, when our foreign trade
is now running up into the billions,
but to compare our trade with the
Hawaiian Islands, with their handful
of people, with our trade with some of
the large countries of the world, gives
better idea of the value of colonies
to the United States.
AS result of his investigations
Senator Lodge finds that
Our trade with the Hawaiian Islands
is over 100 per cent larger than our
total trade with Austria-Hungary.
1t is Is per cent largerthan ourtrade
with Denmark.
1t is 60 per cent as large asour tota
trade with Italy.
1t is nearly four times as big as our
trade with Portugal.
1t is over $50 per cent greater than
our total trade with Russia.
1t is almost double our trade with
Spain.
1t is l25 per cent greater than our
trade with Norway and Sweden COM
bined.
1t is more than double our trade
with Switzerland.
1t is ten times as large as our trade
with Turkey.
1t is nearly 30 times larger than our
trade with Greece.
Comparisons with countries on the
American Continent show that Ha-
waiian trade with the United States is
equal to 30 per cent of our trade with
the whole Dominion of Canada.
1t is nearly $50 per cent greater than
all the Central American states.
1t is 100 per cent as large as our
trade with Mexico.
1t is 80 per cent larger than our
trade with all the British West
Indies.
1t is nearly five times as large as
our trade with Porto Rico.
1t is three times as large as our
trade with the Danish, Dutch snd
French West Indies, with Haiti and
San Domingo included.
1t is almost twice as large as our
trade with Argentine.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1900-06-15

tits almost half as large as our
trade with Brazil, whence we import
most of our coffee.
It is nearly 400 per cent larger than
our trade-with Chill.
1t is nearly 400 per cent larger than
our trade with tie United States Of
Colombia
1t is nearly fifteen times larger than
our trade with Ecuador.
1t is more than six times larger
than our trade with British, Dutch
and French Guiana.
1t is ten timeslarger than our trade
with Peru.
1t is ten times, larger than our trade
with Uruguay.
1t is more than five times larger
than our trade with Venezuela.
He then makes comparisons with
countries across the Pacific and finds
that our trade with Hawaii is within
six million dollars of being as large
as our trade with the Empire of
China.
1t is more than three times as large
as our trade with Hong Kong.
1t is nearly half as largeas ourtotal
trade with all the British, Dutch and
French East Indies, which send us
such large supplies of sugar.
1t is equal to 50 per cent of our total
trade with Japan.
1t is more than five times larger
than our last years trade with the
Philippines.
1t is nearly twenty times larger than
our trade with Asiatic Russia.
1t was larger by fourmillion dollars
than our trade with the whole of the
Australian Colonies last year, with
their five millions of people.
1t was larger last yearly more than
three million dollars than our trade
with the entire continent of Africa.
Senator Lodge says that the in
crease in our trade with Hawaii has
been very marked since its annexation
10y the United States and he looks for
equally rapid Improvement in our
trade with Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. These colonies will absorb
some of our surplus manufactures,
and they will also draw upon this
country for their provisions, thus in
creasing the demand for the products
of American farms.
