A Colossal statue Projected.

A project Is being discussed in Ma
pies for the erection Of a statue of
Christ of such colossal dimensions that
II may be distinctly visible from every
part Of the bay, says the Chicago Trlb-
une. The site first proposed was on
the hills of Castellamare, but to this it
is objected that the statue would not
stand out on the horizon, the noun
talns behind being too lofty. Now the
top Of Camaldoli Is proposed, in the
grounds Of the monastery; but, though
II is true that this Is a point plainly
to be seen from any part of the bay, 1t
Is not visible from the city itself.

Although the imports direct from tie

steady progress and an encouraging
outlook for the sale Of American goods
in that quarter Of the globe. A year
ago absolutely nothing was being done
In this line. There were taken to Bel

Hamburg and Liverpool, sewing ma
chimes forming the bulk Of such I'M
ports; now the prospects are brighter
American flour, hardware, glass, beer
and cotton goods are beginning 10 find
their way into Syria and are meeting
with favor. One dealer. says our con
sui, Is considering the question Of
again importing American oil petrO-
leum, which was formerly sold to some
extent there. He says: The Russian
oil now sells here at 40 piasters (S140
per case, having gone up In price II
piasters C49 cents per case during my
IS months stay in Syria. No Ameri-
can oil Is sold here now, while as late
as 1854 Beirut imported this article TO
The value Of from 100000 to 100000
per annum. American oil has an eX
cellent reputation in Syria, and it could
be sold here at higher figures than
those for which the Russian oil sells"

United States Consul General Stowe,
writing from Cape Town, under recent
date. says: while the representatives
here Of export commission houses in
the United States are cabling large or
ders for foodstuffs other supplies are
wanted by the government. Contracts
for the building Of railroads, for sup
plying the army, jails, prisons, public
and private institutions, etc, are open
for bids. If our manufacturers, owing
to the brisk home markets, do not care
to compete at present, they might be
prepared to do so after the war, when
there will be a boom The country
will then be short Of supplies, particu-
larly In the line OF foodstuffs, and IN
many other directions the demand will
be large. Vehicles, tools, harness, etc,
will be needed. The destruction Of
furniture and household supplies has
already been large. Telegraphic and
railroad equipment, lumber, clothing,
hats-the countless things required by
a country emerging from war-will find
a ready market" 1t behooyes the man.
ufacturers and producers of this coun-
try to heed Mr.. Stoves suggestions
and be prepared to obtain a share Of
this trade.

THURSDAY
Eight Hour Day In the Home.

1t is announced that Mrs. EmmOns
Blaine Of Chicago has organized her
household TO the end that all domestic
servants shall have an eight hour day
the force" being divided into shifts
Of eight hours each.
An exchange says; Cooks. maids,
buffers, laundresScS. coachmcn and
grooms have been 50 classified that
they labor but eight hours at q time.
The system has necesSitated the forces
being divided into watches after the
manner on board ship. Those servants
whose duties begin at o'clock In the
morning are relieved at o'clock in the
afternoon 10y a force that remains on
duty until 10 o'clock at night The sys-
TEN was iuauguratc about ten days
ago. aud il is said To have proved high
ly successful. Society and club women
are interested in Mrs. Blalne's expert
ment and if it continues to work well
the plan may be quite generally adopt
ed"
Any effort to tighten the burdens of
people engaged in domestic service is
highly commendable. Mrs. Blaine is
always highly original in her benevo-
lence this not being the first time she
has shown her humane disposition.
The objection to this scheme viii be
on the score of practicability. 1t may
work in a house where there are a
large number Of servants, but what
about the maid Of all work? There
are thousand homes where one sery-
ant is employed to one where there
are half a dozen, and the number in
which there are more than six IS very
small. Nevertheless the idea is worth
discussion. The problem of domestic
service Is a phase of the labor move
ment Of the time AMI will probably be
solved along with that. Anything
which helps in one direction helps in
all others.

PORTO RICO DESPERATE.
United states Fiscal Agent of the Is
lind Predicts Trouble.

w. II. $. Lothrop Of De Ford & Co.,
United States fiscal agents In Porto Ri
co. says that II congress imposes a tax
on the industries of the Island there Is
likely to be trouble. Mr. Lothrop late
ly returned to Boston from the Island.
He said 10 reporter Of the New YORK
Sun: II tell you now that II Porto Rico
does not get relief in the way Of free
exchange OF products before next sum-
mer we Americans who 90 there VIII
take our lives I'm our own hands. There
has been feeling Of discomfort ever
since last summer, and II was greatly
augmented 10y the hurricane. What
they wanted last fall and what they
want now is 10 be placed on the same
footing with the United States as any
other part of the country. They were
protesting against alienation all the
time when | was among them. and
about all that kept them quiet was the
assurance from American authorities
that as soon rs congress met every
thing In that respect would be set
Alright. Thus all along the people have
thought that something was 10 be done
for them. and the hesitation now shown
on the part Of the American people IS
the worst I'm the world. and we haven't
soldiers enough In Porto Rico TO run
the risk Of an outbreak"
Mr.. Lothrop says frankly that the
people in general have only the yaguest
idea Of what they are cOntendlng for,
but the leaders know, and unless they
can see the industries Of the Island
flourish again they cannot prevent
trouble. He thought the argument
against inclusion of Porto Rico within
the United States customs system on
the ground that lumber and bricks
from Canada and Hour from Chile and
elsewhere in South America would be
kept out was insufficient. I'VE always
export lumber from the United States
for our building operations, and | new
or heard Of flour being taken from any
other place but America" said Mr..
L0thrOp. He thought the real point In
the trade difficulty lay In the present
exclusion Of Porto Rico from Spanish
trade. When the island ceased TO be a
Spanish possession, the trade OF Island
products coffee, tobacco and sugar
were Disseminated against in Spanish
ports Just az any foreign imports.

status of the Cuban Venture.
For the benefit Of those interested in
La Gloria colony the following report
from Lieutenant Evans, who WAS as
signed by the commanding officer at
Nuevltas to investigate the colony and
clear up the situation, is given without
prejudice to either the colonists or com
pany, says Havana dispatch to the
New York sun.
The property occupied by the colo
nlsts Is four miles and half inland.
All the roads are poor now and are
practically impossible in rainy wealth
err. The land is thickly wooded. 1t Is
mostly low ground and will be very
fertile when cleared. There are 10
persons, including n doctor and 20 wo-
men and children, now on the ground.
They are living in tents with no floors.
No lumber can be obtained nearer than
NuevitIs. Good water Is obtained
from wells from 10 TO 20 feet deep.
The sinks are open pits and are not
well covered Kitchen refuse Is not
well disposed Of No fresh meats have
been procurable since the camp was
established. Rations are plentiful, but
expensive.
The company, the report says, has
not made the final payment on any
part Of the land and has no deeds TO
Il. Hence the colonists have no deeds
and they are more or less suspicious.
The report also says that the company
has not carried out its promises re
garding the construction of a sawmill
and a hotel The total contracts for
the land amount to $4,000. The pres
ident says that this will soon be paid.
The company has on the ground two
horses, three mules and one wagon.
A small steamer plies between the
colony and Nuevltas.
This report refers only to the colony
proper az 1t exists today. Another
report Is expected in reference to the
ex-colonists who are row hanging
around Nuevitas. having left the colo
ny In disgust What General Wood
will do when the investigation closes

MICHIGAN Town Named CrOnje.

Thelittle town of North Holland, near

quested the railroad to have the name
changed on its time table, and the COM
pany has acquiesced. The other day

the village by its new name.

Ject being accomplished. IL is just to add, how
ever. that no such consummation was ever seri-

Spanish press eager TO magnify the effect OF this
meeting, confined itself TO asserting in language
more or less hyperbolc. that the moral effect has
been great This moral effect is never clearly de-
fined. and the most general summing up seems TO
be that a solidarity Of sentiment and race need
no longer be looked as chirnerical No doubt
