BRIEFLY stated, the reply of Lord
Salisbury to the appeal of Presidents
Kruger and Steyn, of the South Afri-
can republics, is that Great Britain
has tolerated the independent govern
ments too long for her own good, and
is not now prepared to assent to the
further independence either of the
South African republic or the Orange
Free State. There would be no re-
publics if England had the say.

OUR DUTY TO Porto RICO.
(From President MeKInIey's Mes
sage to COnGress.J

sage to COngress.)
Since the cession Porto Rico has
been denied the principal markets she
had long enjoyed. and our tari1s
have been continued against her pro-
ducts as when she was under Spanish
sovereignty. The markets OF Spain
are closed TO her products except upon
terms TO which the commerce OF all
nations is subjected. The island OF
Cuba. which used TO buy her cattle and
tobacco without custom duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these
products as from any other country en-
teTing her ports. She has. therefore.
lost her free intercourse with Spain
an Cuba, without any cOmpensating
benefits In this market. Her coffee was
little known and not in use by our peo-
PIE. and. therefore there was no de-
mand he e for this one of her chief pro-
ducts. The markets OF the United
States should be opened up to her
products.
"Our plain duty Is to abolish all
customs tariffs between the United
states and Porto Rico, and give her
products free access to our mar
kets."

tablished a permanent branch of the

Second avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine eX-
cepted) to ali invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and March 10. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is TO become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
flicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before March 10.
The doctors treat all forms of di-
sease and deformities and guarantee
cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview a thorough eX-
animation - made, and, if in durable,
you are frankly and kindly told so,
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.

BIG RIVER is WILD
seven Feet Above Low water Mark
and the Bottoms are Overlooked

The Arkansas river. commonly known
as the big river" is on a rampage and
the citizens on the low lands in the
south part of town have been thinking
seriously Of vacating Tor higher qnaf-
tiers. The river is higher at this tiIHe
than II has been for a number Of years,
and to look at It one would hardly mag
ire that heretoforetit has been merely
river Of sand. The back water from the
food has completely covered the dam IN
the Little river at Central avenue and
much Of the vaterworks island IS under
water. The rise IS caused only by local
rains and the river is not expected TO
get much higher. Still, the rainfall hts
been very heavy in western Kansas and
this may cause the volume Of water to
be much greater. Already the people
near the river are beginning to know the
effects Of the rise, for cellars are rapid
" filing with water While some Of tho
farmers may suffer from the effects Of
the high water in the fields adjoining
the river, this amount Of water viii be
OF much value to all the farmers in the
Arkansas valley.
Weather Observer Johnson said yester-
day that the river reached a higher point
in the morning than had been reached
before during this year. The water
mark was showing feet 4 inches. and
at D. m. it had fallen tenth OF a foot.
DR.. Johnson seemed to think that the
river would go no higher unless there
should be much rainfall within the next
