A PORTO RICAN VIEW.
How the Natives Look Upon Their
American Connection.

In honor of the second anniversary
of the landing of American troops on
Porto Rico the Republican party, COM
posed of native Porto Ricans, issued
the following proclamations, which
should be interesting reading for Mr..
Bryan:
July, 1893 took us by surprise and disheart.
ened us. Public matters, political rights, as
piratiOns and hopes were all uncertain Since
that date-and it was only yesterday-the
friendship of the North American people, di.
rectly or indirectly, has modified our cond.
ton and elevated our people. We had no
liberty OF thought and now, the church and
the state being separate, our faith is free
We were compelled to render homage to a far
and unknown country, for the integrity Of
which so much blood was split. Now our
country is our own land, and our country is
also the nation that guides us, according to
the will OF the people.
And have no longer the stamped paper;
Nor the dues on transfer of property;
Nor the personal certificates;
Nor the passport;
Nor the export duty;
Nor the tax professions;
Nor the import duty, which is now insiGfcant
and which it is left to us to ABOLISH;
Nor the tribute to the crown of Spain;
NOT lne tribute 10 lue NCTaRuaS race,
Nor the tribute to the ministry Of colonies
Nor tribute in time OF peace, and navy
tribute without navy;
Nor pensioned people (who were not Porto
Ricans);
Nor mounted police (Guardia CiviD;
Nor military courts to try ordinary and polit-
cal offences;
Nor Alcadcs appointed by the government;
Nor military governor.

and the habeas corpus;
The courts of Justice composed OF Porto Rican
magistrates;
The divorce law, which guarantees domestic
peace;
Uniform currency;
Regularity in the eXchange
Postal money orders;
Uniformity in the postal stamp;
The municipalities will be autonomous,
We have suffrage, the extension of which is
left to us;
We have Porto Rican troops
An insular police composed Of Porto Ricans;
Free Justice, for which the judges are respon.
sible, without the inconvenience OF the pre-.
judgments;
And quick procedure, the modification OF which
is left to us;
And we have representation In the executive
council even il not exactly to the extent we
deserve;
And we have a house of representatives to
leyisatc for the island;
And we have, moreover a great people as
our friend who will defend out rights, and pay
us back with unquestionable aid for the gen.
erous reception We gave to their army the 25th
OF July, which date we now celebrate.
Nelson Miles word will be kept. II our laws
at present are not perfect, they will become so
some day. We will overpower the obstacles Of
the political parties in the Union, and once we
have secured all our liberties the fusion Of the
American and Porto Rican peoples will be ac'

THE FIRST ct" RAIL.
A Section of the Relic Presented to
Andrew Carnegie.

From the Philadelphia Record
To enable the Stevens Institute of
Technology to erect suitable new
buildings Andrew Carnegie gave s65, 900
and as a token of appreciation it was
decided to present him with a section
of the original thirty-six pound "T"
rail from the Camden and Amboy rail-
road, inClosed in a handsome casket.
The Casket also contains fac-similes
of letters, specifications and bills con-
nected with the history of the first "T''
rails. On the top of the solid silver
casket are figures in relief, showing
the rolling of the rail through a typi-
cal early mill. On opposite sides are
shown the first train of the Camden
and Amboy railroad, preceded by an
outrider to keep people off the track,
and view of the proposed Carnegie
laboratory. The ends contain medal
lion portraits of Robert l.. Stevens and
Mr. Carnegie. At the four corners are
figures embodying the Stevens Insti-
tute's conception of the ideal modern
engineer-a primitive iron worker a
mediaval armorer, an old-fashioned
blacksmith and one of its own gradu-
ates.
The piece of "T" rail sent Mr.. Car
negie was furnished by the president
of the institute, DR.. Henry Morton.
The rails for the Camden and Amboy
track, between South Amboy and Bor-
dentown, were rolled in 1881, President
Morton says, and were the first ",r"
rails designed or made. although the
Vignoles rail- produced in France sew
eral years later, have generally been
credited with being the earliest. The
former was designed by Robert l.. Ste
vens, who was sent to England to have
them made, there being in this country
no mill capable of doing the work.
Arrived in England, he called for
bids from various iron works, but at
first none of them dared to take the
work. After a while he persuaded
John Guest, owner of a Welsh mill,
to attempt it; not, however, before
guarantees had been given against any
| damage to the machinery in perform
ing the then mighty task of rolling a
S6-pound rail- Mr.. Stevens personally
directed the work When the first rails
that came through were crooked and
twisted. the workmen hailed it as proof
that the attempt was futile. Mr.. Ste
vens told them to take their hammers
while the iron was hot and straighten
them out. Finally the rails were sat

Action for $4,000 damages was In
stituted against the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company in the United
states Circuit court yesterday by Will
liam Robinson, of Carbondalc, repre-
sented by Attorneys H. u. Carey and
i. II. Burns.
Mr. Robinson had his right leg burn
ed and permanently crippled by step

in Mayfield and lives on Belmont
street, Carbondale, in the northern
part of the city. He rides each day
on the company's trains. After the

with, the company arranged to run
the evening train up to the end OF
the yard, near where the station was,
that the workmen and others living
in the upper part of the city might
be saved the walk from Seventh
street, wh ere the new station is To-
Gated.
1t was the custom of Mr.. Robinson
and others to cross through the yard
and thea along the side of the machine
shops to reach n foot bridge crossing
the river to Belmont street. The path
lead across a vat in which lye was
kept bott.ug, and on the day in qucs-
tion while passing over the vat, the
cover gave way under Mr.. Robinson

the vat safely guarded and that he

passer, because the company invited
him and its other Belmont street pas

the owner o. such way Is responsible
for any accident that may occur as a
result of the way being in bad repair.

CLAIMS BURGLARS DID 1T.
West Side Fire That Has Some Odd
Features.

Fire broke out about 11.30 o'clock
last night in the dry goods and notion
store of A. w. Bunnell, At ia South
Main avenue. The blaze originated
under a counter near the money draw
er on the main floor and it's cause is
a complete mystery. The West Scran-
ton companies all RESPONDED to the
alarm and eXtinguished the fire by the
use of chemicals.
The entire damage will come to
about $500, which is covered by in
surance.
The proprietor of the store believes
that the fire was caused by burglars,
but the police do not accept this the
ory. Mr.. Bunnell bases his belief upon
the fact that the bolts were found
to be removed from the back door and
the lock tampered with. The money
drawer was out of it's accustomed
place and was found in the rear OF
the store with a pasteboard box full
of cheap jewelry.
Patrolman Jones, however, declares
that he made his rounds at IL O'Clock
and on trying all the doors found
everything fast.
Two years ago there was a fire at
this same store, during which burglars
entered and made a haul Of about
$175

and did not communicate to the second
floor. The tenants of the apartments
above the store are Mr. end Mrs. John
