ernor of Guam has written home an interesting
letter concerning that new possession OF the
United States which gives a vivid picture OF
Guam it is and points out the reforms which
the Government is instituting there. The letter
is in part follows:
Government House,
"Agana Guam, February "a, 1900.
Some have greatness thrust upon them
Imagine me as Judge of the Court of First APP
peaIs Registrar of Deeds and Titles Controller
of the Treasury and Commissioner of Education
Besides these official duties, have imposed upon
myself the task Of teaching class in English
three times week, my pupils ranging from hVe
to ffty years of age. To prepare myself for my
official duties have the various codes OF span
ish laws civil commercial and criminal which
follow as closely as possible in classifying Of
fences, admitting evidence and awarding punish
rnent except in so far they may be modified
by general orders issued by Governor Leary.
I'm registering lands and granting titles L -aiso
conform to the Spanish laws which are excellent
if carried out honestly When a wishes TO
acquire a title he appears before the Judge OF
the Court of First Appeals and presents pc
tition describing the situation and condition OF
his land and how he became possessed OF IT. lie
states that he has title to it. and, wishing TO
establish one he begs that the necessary ln1or-
nation be taken to establish the truth of his
statements. offering such persons as witnesses
who will swear that they know him to be the
rightfuI possessor of the property
Il then cause a marginal Endorsement to be
made on the petition. ordering the land judge
to visit the property and make report upon IT.
If it appears be all right take the evidence
of the witnesses ard grant the title of posses
sorship. This is called fnfOrmacion posesoria-
In order that in any future dispute regarding
ownership the courts may recognize the valid
itv of the title il must be entered in the Reg
lister of Property. The paper is brought 70 the
Register of Deeds and Titles. who cites all OF
the neighboring adjacent proprietors to appear
and sign sworn statements corroboratinS the
statements of the owner and witnesses. and
agreeing TO the boundaries establishments and
measurements of said property. Thus future
trouble is avoided. Often these neighbOrs refuse
to sign some times because the petitioner for
the title to the land is attempting TO encroach
upon territory claimed by them, and sometimes
because they say the land rightfully belongs To
somebody else or should be shared by all the
heirs of the mans father.

GUARDING AGAINST FRAUD.

I'm this way are pretty sure that no mis-
take is made. / have come across cases of fraud
in the register. Some of them consist in the
forging of the signatures of neighbOrs. who are
told nothing about the matter; sometimes a
neighbor includes some neighbor's land with his
own in acquiring the title. those signing being
deceived as To the extent and measurements of
the land in question. These cases have 20 be-
righted but whenever possible L make no
change in the Spanish titles. We have all the
old registers a fortunate thing l am gradually
making charts of the various districts. which
are of great assistance in preventing the re-
granting Of part of a piece of land already reg
iStered.
II have just been going over the treasury
counts for the two quarters beginning July l
and October L. 1899 During the first quarter
the expenses of the government exceeded the
receipts We found that the roads of the island
were for the most part impossible. especially
during the rainy season; bridges were dilapi-
dated and often dangerous, the school teachers
were all receiving three pesos Mexican a month
"a little less than 81 % in money, think of
it.-;here were accumulations of filth beneath
the houses and dangerous cesspOOls in close
proximity wells, and the streets had great
holes and projecting stones in them. with no
means of draining the town. How were these
things to be corrected?
We did want to call upon the General
Government at Washington for the money Ac-
cordingly, the Governor asked me 10 make a
schedule of duties to he levied articles i'm
ported to this island from foreign countries and
export duty copra, dried cocoanut the
only article of export from the island. We now
shall be able not only to make better roads
and to pay the teachers salaries big enough to

their appointments in the same spirit as a man

to neglect their business and ranches and were
subjected to the temptation of accepting bribes
to keep body and soul together.
"At first people did not understand the OBJ
ject Of the duties. Now that they see the reve-
nue. is for the benefit of the island, they approve

RIvERTON PARK.
The week commencing today,
at Riverton Park brings America S
Greatest Vaudeville Stars, azunder the
management of Mr.. J. W. German, and
1t is certainly a collection of artists hard
to ex Gel.
There are few more pronounced hits on
the vaudeville stage for an original line
of work than Hines and Remington, who
lead the company. They are not imi-
tators and followers of others, but people
who use brains and efforts to present an
act which will attract attention and
command large salaries for their work.
Their novel act is entitled ''The Road
/ Queen, and presents four distinct chang
es of character, viz, "a Swell Tammany
Politician, ''The Original Woman
Tramp "a Sport About Town." and
''The Horse Show Girl Some types
presented may be more pleasing to the
eye and ear than others, but all bear the
stamp of strong character acting, and
keep them employed in the best vaude-
vile theatres.
The headIiners of Musical Comedy acts,
DeVeaux and DeVeaux, will make a
strong hit IN this engagement in this
city. They are undoubtedly the most sue
cessful musical team in this country. /.
The Judges are prominent acrobats and
give refined statue posturing, foot Jug
Cling and barrel spinning.
Mr.. Dan Mason, the German Comedian
of the Company why Smith Left Home, .
is one of the company and win be re-
membered as laUely starring at the head
of his own company.
This company would easily satisfy any
audience for a full evening in the regular
winter season of amusem ents. but the
patrons Of Iiiverton win find additional
entertainment IN the splendid concerts OF

MCCULLUMIs THEATRE.

MCCO14iIO NJ > '1dEAIhEs
Theatre goers are to be given the priv
ilege OF enjoying another production at
MeCullum' s theatre this week of more
than ordinary Importance. The play to
be presented is the beautiful comedy
drama in four acts, entitled 1.-The New
South written for and originally pro-
duced with great artistic success and
pecuniary profit by Joseph Grismer and
Phebe Davis. 1t is not recalled that
this delightful play has even been seen
in Portland. and its promised presenta-
ton at McCullum IS is eagerly anticipated.
The scenic and decorative features of the
production Will be Of the same elegance
and completeness that have characterized
every play given to date at this popular
play house, and the play viii also enlist
the services of every one of the talented
favorites of the company "The New
South is built on original lines and In
plot and character differs from any other
attraction offered this season. The ele-
ment of originality and variety will en-
hance the value of the production and
appeal more forcibly to amusement lovers
than repetition of some form of enter
tainmsnt already given. The scene of the
play is laid near the city of Alphaette
Georgia, at the home OF General Gwynne
an old Confederate officer who still cher
ishes his prejudices against Northern peo-
pie and institutions. The foundation of
the plot is the law of the State of Georgia
that permits the State commissioners to
lease the services Of convicted criminals
| To "a 1r-1iv4Ar1a7c facI
of such a law to afford material for dra-
matte purposes has been overlooked by
playWrights until now when the author
OF "lhe New South has evolved a play
OF sterling literary value and powerful
dramatic force Reserved seats are on
sale for the week at Sawyer's store, Monu-
ment square.

noted that there is never any change of
programme on account of the weather, in

tion now that dog days and unsettled
