ALLEN NOW GOVERNOR
Inauguration Took Place at
San Juan Yesterday.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May Il
The Inauguration Of Charles H. Allen,
formerly assistant secretary of the
United States navy. as American civil
governor of the island of Porto Rico,
took place today. The ceremony was
most impressive.
A more beautiful day could not have
dElwned in which TO usher in Porto
Rfco's new governor. At an early hour
the streets Of the city were thronged
with people.
The days exercises opened at sunrise
with serenades by the bands Of the
Eleventh infantry. the Fifth cavalry
and the Porto Rican regiment. The
city bands also played the island and
United States national airs before the
executive mansion and on the princi-
pal plazaS, as well as while marching
through the streets.
The enthusiasm Of the people was
greater than expected, in spite Of the
publication in the Diario of a letter
from Julio Henna of New York, sug-
costing that the people remain indoors
and refrain from taking part in the
inauguration, thereby silently protest
ing and showing the American govern
ment that Porto Rico was dissatis-
fed"
Created a Sensation.
The Diario is the organ of the Fed
eral party, and has quite a large cir
cUlation. The letter created a sensa-
ton. After dwelling on the subject Of
the free treatment Of Hawaii, Henna
points out that the Porto Ricans have
not been treated on the same basis as
Hawaii and brings up the so-called
untitled promises Of General Miles, etc
The troops began assembling at
o'clock. Later Governor Allen and
General Davis reviewed on the plaza
the cavalry, artillery, infantry, the
Porto Rican regiment, the sailors and
marines from the fleet and the police
and civic societies. Each company in
passing the governor presented arms
or otherwise saluted.
The plaza and adjoining hOusetOps
were packed with people, of whom
about 5000 We're present The native
troops received the most applause from
the natives, the regulars and sailors
being accorded only nominal applause.
The people were exceedingly quiet. or
derby and administrative. They ex-
pressed their feeling of applause by
handclapping. There were no loud
shouts. cat-calls or whistling, etc. such
as characterizs American crowds on
sIck occasions.
Took Oath of Office.
Governor Allen took the oath of Of
fee at 1920 a. m, under a. flag canopy
at the executive monsion. Governor
Aliens address was received favOrably,
though quietly.
Some of the Americans who looked
on commented upon an apparent lack
of interest on the part Of the Porto
Ricans. A city of 10000 might have
been expected to turn out a large
crowd, and especially as all the bust
ness houses were CLOSED. There was a
display of national colors from a num-
Der of private houses, but nothing that
would compare, for instance, with the
displays of holidays and Sundays
twelve months ago, when a Spanish
flag fOated over every house.

Greek met Greek last evening at the
Lad3es' Literary club rooms and made
the night merry in a way that the
barbarians know not of. The occasion
was the second annual banquet Of the
Pan-HeIenic society Of Utah and the
select came from all parts of HeIIas to
join in the festivities. From early
evening until the wee sma' hours of the
morning they had a real Grecian hot
time-the kind Of time Nero had when
Rome burned.
There was food IN the form of all
the 6elicacies Of the caterers art for
those who had not supped: there were
liquids innumerable for all varieties Of
thirsts; and to cap il all there was an
intellectual feast Of song and story and
jest well aimed that made the night
look short and the morning draw on W.
noticed.
The tables were arranged in the form
Of hollow square, and covers were
laid for siXty-One. II was about 8
o'clock that the Greeks ceased their
cOnfab in the ante-rOOm and entered
the banqueting chamber tc the strains
of MACH played with beautiful ef-
feet by the New Grand theatre Orches-
ira, which was stationed on the plat
form at the end of the hall and which
discounsed sweet music throughout the
evening The table decorations were in
Gala lilies and palms.
Hilarity Holds Sway.
After the serving Of the first course
the goddess Of hilarity began to hold
away and the college songs that had
been lingering in the cells of memory
burst forth Saw My Leg OF, kiss
My Girl EOr Ne" and various other
patheti little ballads with a rolling
chorus were sung with a gustO that
betokened the place they hold in the
affections of the college man.
The second course Of cOnsOmme en-
rasse somewhat puzzled a few Of the
select Of the cOuntrymen, and three of
them at leaet-there may have been

College yells Of varied tribes filed the
air, and for a time every member OF

brought them back to mundane things

When this part Of the evenings en-
jOyment had been done to a finish, Ned
Ferry began on song that had an in
terminable number Of verses. with a
chorus that would have turned the
singing gods on Olympus green with
envy. Professor Fager and DR.. Eller-
beck punctuated the melodies of the
Bannachahan carol by going through
DR.. CritchlOw's pockets for the cigar
cites that they didn't find. Then they
sang, Here's to the heart of the
country maid" which was a very
beautiful ballad and was sung with a
huTrah.

WU'S PROTEST..
Chinese Minister Objects to Excluding
His People From Philippines.

Washington, May 24-The president
has sent to the.s senate a series of letters
from the Chinese minister, WI Ting
Fang, setting forth reasons why in the
opinion of his government the Chinese
exclusion laws should not be made aP-
plicable to the Philippine islands. the
minister says that for centuries very
important relations have existed be-
tween China and the Philippines, owing
to their contiguity and the favorable
trade and industrial conditions" The
Chinese, he says, have been always well
come and UP to the present time there
have existed free intercourse and unre-
stricted trade. He expressed the hope
that this will continue to be the case
and contends that our Chinese exclu-
sion laws were enacted solely because
of labor conditions in h United States
proper.
A note dated September IS is a protest
against Gen. Otis exclusion order of
September &c, 1898. In this letter Mr.
WI complains of the failure of Sec
rotary Hay to give him previous notice
of this policy, saying he had been in
formed that nothing would be done un-
til congress should act. He enters a
strongly Worded protest against the en-
forcement of the order 'tas contrary to
international law and comfy in viola
ton of the spirit of existing treaties and
in utter disregard of the friendly rela-
lions which should exist between the
two governments"

is not warranted as a military measure

Sweeping Changes to Be Made
on Denver & Rio Grande.
Assistant General Manager G. s.
Schlacks Has Resigned.
F WILL LEAVE.
There Is Much Dissatisfaction
With His Management.
New Blood From the East to Be
Infused Into the Road.

Denver, May 24-Charles S. Schlacks,
assistant general manager of the Den
Yer & Rio Grande railroad, has rendered
his resignation, to take effect June Is.
Though President Jeffrey has not yet
accepted it, there is no doubt that Mr..
SchlackS will leave the road.
This action of the assistant general
manager is, in all probability. the pre-
Jude to a sweeping change in the heads
of departments on the D. & R. G.
Though on the surface there has been
no disagreement between the executive
officials and the board of directors, per-
sons who are familiar with the cOndi-
lions say that on the part of the board
there has been a great deal of dissatis-
faction with the administration of Pres
ident Jeffrey, especially during the last
year., and that it is now intended to in
fuse new blood into the road, and i'm
port an entire new set of officers, some
to be selected from the men in Colorado
familiar with the operating of noun
tain roads, and some from the east,
where progressive railway methods OBJ
tain. 1t is the general talk among Col
.orado railroad men that the D. & R. G.
property, through old-fashiOned man.
agement has been losing some of its
value. Several wrecks which have Oc-
CURED during the las year are pointed
out as evidences of weakness, and
traffic agreements entered into with
other railroads armfu to the D. & R
C. are said to indicte that the o is
not getting al the business that ii
might.
While it has not been formally ten
dered him as yet, it can be stated with
p-ositiveness, Mr.. Schlacks will be gen
eral manager of the Colorado Midland
succeeding Mr.. Ristine, who retires
from the position of president and ger
eral manager upon the passing of the
Midland into the control of the Colo

escape and a protection to the jail off,
GERS against the combined assaults Of
prisoners frequently made in the effort
to escape; fourth, as a means of whole
some discipline to many vicious pris-
oners who escape all other infection;
fifth, as a means Of protecting the bet
ter class of prisoners who do not wish

PRAYED.
Cleanliness must be insured for the
building and the prisoners When 1t is
well understood that prisoners must be
physically clean and remain alone in
clean, well lighted cells there will be
less crime committed for the purpose
of boarding at the county's expense
A few simple rules should be adopt
ed and enforced. 1t is difficult to over
estimate the Importance of rigid punctu-
atty on the part of the jailor and on
the part Of the prisoners. Prisoners
should rise by the clock, have their
meals by the clock, the exercise Of each
prisoner should be taken at stated times
and all the prisoners movements should
be governed with the most exacting
regularity. The reason is that method
and system inspire respect for law and
confidence in the authority behind the
law; they generate habit and habit
