PORTO RICO TARIFF.

Among our Republican brethren there
seems to be more anxiety that trade
should follow the flag than that freedom
should follow it.-Helena Independent.
The great prosperity of the United
States is due largely to the constitu-
tional prohibition of any restraint of
trade between the states and that same
policy should be applied to all the ter
ritory over which the flag fioats.-Kan-
sas City STAR
The distressing webbing of so many
great men and newspapers on the ques-
ton Of q Porto Rieah tariff was largely
due to their difficulty in deciding at
which end of the stick the political dyn-
amite was located. None of them are
quite sure even now.-Springf1eld Re

tected interests threaten If the recall
citrants hold out the Senate will leave

no party would dare to do.-New Yorl

NEW YORK, March ia Tribune
special from Washington, says: The
transfer of the sugar production from
the plantations of the tropics to the
farms of the temperate zone is illus
trated by some figures just published
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
They show that 50 per cent of the sugar
crop of the world in 1910 was supplied
by sugar cane, a tropical product, and
but per cent from beets, produced in
the temperate zone. In 1892 however,
but "a per cent of the worlds sugar sup
ply was from cane, and &C per cent from
beets. How much of this is due to the
disappearance of slave labor, which eX-
listed in all the cane producing territory
at the beginning of the period under
review lis left to the consideration of
economists and sociologists, but it is a
fact that the worlds sugar cane crop
of 1899 would little morethan supply the
demands of the United States alone,
after deducting the home consumption
of the countries in which it is produced.
The total cane-sugar crop of the
world, as estimated by Willette & Gray
of New York, is given at 2,S620 900 tons,
and, with few exceptions, includes
local production for home consumption
wherever known" while the figures of
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics show
! that the total sugar importations Of the
| United States in the calendar year 1893
were 1,964170 tons, so that If all the
cane-sugar product of the world in 1895
| were massed together, and the local
consumption of the countries of it's pro-
duction deducted, the remainder would
! little more than equal the importations
of the United States alone in that year
In the United States the consumption
of beet sugar is steadily increasing
and was in the fiscal year 1899 greater
than that of any preceding year in its
history, with the single exception OF
1897, when the imports were abnorma
by reason of the expected change in the
tariff law

AT THE ORPHEuM.

The new program of the minstrels
was presented in a, most satisfactory
manner. The songs have been entirely
changed throughout, with pleasing re-
suits. Miss Moss sang "Creole Sue"
with much feeling and plenty of tone,
while quite a feature of the evening
was "Pack Your Clothes and Co." by
Master Livers, assisted by Miss Luella
Prue Hogan sang Chickens in This
Crowd" as no one else can sing it, and
again completely controlled the crowd
ed house with his irresistible humor.
The last act, "Uncle Eph," is typical
little bit of southern darkey life befo'
de wah, which give opportunities for
much merriment and music, and in
which Hogan shows his dramatic abil-
itv in his splendid Characterization of
"Old Man Eph."

PROCLAMATION.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE RE-

my satisfaction, that, by reason of the
existence of an infectious or contagious
disease known and designated as
PLAGUE, in certain foreign countries,
there is serious and continuing danger
of the Introduction of the same into
the Hawaiian Islands, and that, not
withstanding the quarantine defense,
this danger is so increased by the in
PRODUCTION Of certain foodstufs from
such countries that a suspension of the
right to introduce the same is demand
ed in the interest of the public health.
NOW, THEREFORE,, BY virtue of
the power in me vested by law, do
hereby PROHIBIT the introduction in
to the Hawaiian Islands from all for
eign ports and places infected with bu-
bonic plague, and more particularly
from the port of Hongkong, China, all
or any of the following described food
stuffs, to wit:
Cutie fish or other dried fish, lily
flower, oranges, dates, lichees, nuts.
fungus, ducks, pork, sausage, dried
meats, dried vegetables, cabbage,

Said prohibition to continue as to
each of said ports or places until after
the expiration of SIXTY (60) days from

ignated as PLAGUE shall cease to exist
in said port or place.

TO INTERVIEW A PRINCESS.

How a Clever New York Woman Man
aged to Converse with EuIaIia.
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, who
conducts the woman's department of
the New York Tribune, is credited with
the following in the Saturday Evening
Post:
lone day when l was writing for the
now defunct Recorder was assigned
to interview the Princess Eulalia, the
Spanish royal representative to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. l missed her
in New York, SO l paid my own, ex-
penses to Washington to interview her
there, but did not succeed. She would
not see reporters. l interviewed the
master of ceremonies. an American
who had charge of the royal party. and
asked him to help me. He replied that
Her highness would return to New
York the next day; but you cannot
meet her unless you are introduced by
Mayor Gilroy himself
81 went back to New York crest
fallen. The next day I induced the
editor to send me on the chartered boat
which took the royal party up to West
Point. The boat started and Eulalia
and her escort took up a position on the
main deck. The Mayor stood on one
side and navy and army officers on the
other. All about were soldiers with
crossed sabers. The procession of in
yited guests started two by two to be
presented to the Princess, but when
saw that they did not get near enough
to her to touch her hand determined
not to take my place in the line, but to
devise other means of being introduced.
Finally bright thought occurred to
me, and, breaking through the ranks,
said to the soldiers: 49,.
Let me pass; I've a message for
Mayor Gilroy.'
81 went through. l walked up to the
Mayor and said: Mr.. Mayor, everybody
has met the Princess but myself. Will
you present me? .-.-- -.-.
HE recognized me and replied: Z am
delighted to have the honor. Your
highness, this is Miss Cynthia West
over, who has for years been part of
the city government
'"Fhe Princess looked up and smiled,
and spoke to her in Spanish and told
her how pleased was to meet her. She
answered that I was the first woman
she had met who spoke her own tongue.
We talked for over an hour on Spanish
and American customs. She told me
of her love of horses, music and litera-
ture, and of the training of her Spanish
sisters. She asked me to step outside
L. TYo 71r~1
and dowa the deck for about ten
minutes when I saw the master of cere-
monies coming. He Instantly recog-
nized me, and advancing quickly to-
ward the Princess he spoke hurriedly
in Spanish and put his finger to his
lips. looked up to him and said:
"I've got my two-column interview,
thank you, and 1 obeyed your orders
strictly. I was presented by the
Mayor'"

A new system of gun-fring, consist

Flowering plants are not certainly
known TO reach a greater height than
seventeen thousand feet in the Alps.
At least half dozen species-including
a saxifrage, mallow, a valerian and
several compositae-have been brought
by Sir Martin Conway from heights
of eighteen thousand to 1S,5OO feet in
the Bolivian mountains.
Before meeting of the Biological
Society of Washington Mr.. w. A. Or
ton described the result of experiments
made to determine the cause of the
flow of maple sap in the early spring.
His conclusion was that the flow has
a mechanical cause, being due to the
increasing heat which expands the
gases in the wood cells, and thus forci-
bly, eXpels the sap. This contradicts
the view that the flow of sap is Que
only to physiological action in the
plant.
The fur of the blue fox has become so

provide more abundant food for the
foxes in the winter time. On the Aleu-
tian Islands they have been fed with
dried salmon when other food gives
out. They will even eat sea-urcnins,
searching for them on the beach at low
tide.
The members of the International
Commercial Congress recently held in
Philadelphia were told by w. G. Bark
er, as the result of his observations
among European manufactures, that
time seems to be regarded as of COM
paratively little value abroad, while in
America the maxim that ''time is mon
ey'' is practically applied. Mr.. Barker
found that in large agricultural ma
chinery mandatory in Europe the
only trip hammer in use was worked by
hand, the weight being drawn up with
ropes and pulley, and allowed to drop.
The American power-hammer strikes
100 and more blows in a minute.
The discovery that there is kind of
struggle for existence and survival of
the fittest among rivers is one of the
most interesting results of the modern
study of physiography. A notable ex-
ample of this contest is exhibited by
England's two longest rivers, the
Thames and the Severn. Between their
valleys lie the Cotswold Hills. and eA-
ploration shows that the Severn, by
eating backward among these hills,
where softer strata underlie them, has
diverted to itself some of the head
waters which formerly flowed into the
Thames. So considerable has this ac-
ton been that the two rivers concerned
have been denominated "the waxing
Severn and the waning Thames"

Signaling NJ Nieht.

A system Of night-signaling with
flags held up by kites and lighted by a
suspended search-light was tried some
time ago at Bayonne, New Jersey. Says
Electricity:
The search-light was of about one
hundred candle power, and was sus-
pended within a few feet Of the flags.
The light was sent up at quarter to
z O'clock, hung two feet below the
flags, each Of which was two feet
square. Both light and flags were sup
ported by one nine foot and one seven
foot kite. The flags were fastened to
the kite cable by perpendicular stats.
To light the flags the search-light was
rigidly braced on the kite cable in such
q position that it pointed. straight sky
ward. AS the kites carried the cable
upward, the glare Of the fiery pencil
passed beneath the flying kites and up
ward into space. The rapid f1uttering
Of the flags caused the effect of a
stream of blue, white and red fire, ex-
tending ten or twelve feet beyond the
search-ight reflector.
This Invention will probably not only
be used in signaling in time of war,
but will produce effects of great beauty
in night carnivals.

This was a passion for buying rare

The reading of his will replaces this
reputation with one of a diametrically
