CITY IN FESTAL GARB.
Visit of the Emperor Of Austria to
Berlin is Appropriately
Celebrated.

Berlin, May 4.-Emperor Francis Jo-
seph of Austria has appointed Emperor
William field marshal-general of the
Austrian army.
The standard of the Emperor of Aus
tria waves from the royal palace in Ber
lin this afternoon, signifying that the
ruler OF the dual monarchy has taken up
residence there.
Emperor Francis Joseph reached Pots
dam station punctually at 10 a. m. His
majesty's reception was strictly accord
ing to programme. The weather was
ideally spring-like. The whole city was
in festal garb, the verdure of the trees
and shrubs contrasting gratefully with
the vivid colors of the flags, bunting and
garlands strung from pillar to pillar.
The climax of decorative art was nat
urally reached on the route from the
depot through Bellevuestrasse, where
Kuenstlerheim showed a splendid colos-
sal bust, thence to the Seeges-Allee,
which evoked the keen interest of the
Austrian Emperor, who closely ques-
toned Emperor William, who was sit
ting by his side, regarding the points of
interest; thence to the Brandenburg gate
and the Pariser-Platz, just behind where
Il triumphal arch 70 feet in height and
with a green background, enlivened with
gilt laurel leaves and heavy gold cords
and taSSelS, formed the center OF aItrac-
ton. The arch was thanked on both sides
by towers bearing large, living laurel
trees. The center of the arch was sur
mounted by a handsome draped pavilion,
in which was band in medieval cos
TUNES, which sounded inspiring fanfares
on long silver trumpets as the Emperors
approached, and which played the Aus
trian national hymn as they proceeded
EDWARDS.
The square fronting the arch, where
the welcoming ceremonies took place, was
fianked by two grandstands filled with
women in the gayest spring costumes, the
space between the grandsuands being oc
cupied by the municipal authorities and
other officials. Behind the stands rose
double rows Of obelisks, respectively 80
and so feet high, crowned with masses
of choice flowers
The Brandenburg gate, standing i'll
and presented a magnificent spectacle.
The houses fronting the platz were
thronged with spectators, many of them
especially Inter den Linden, was crowd
good-natured sightseers. There were no
being comprehensive in enforcing order
and preventing dangerous crowding.
Spectators arriving after s were eX-
cluded from the route, which was doubly
fanked from the sieges-alle to the Bran
cent urg gate by the Berlin Veterans
association, many Of the gray-bearded
men wearing the iron cross The route
from the gate to the castle was lined
with trOODS.

1t was with refreshing candOr that
Col. Nicholas n. Cox, one of the most
prominent Democratic members of the
House Military Affairs Committee in
vestigating the Couer d'Alene mining
troubles, admitted that the inyestiga-
ton was gotten up for Democratic cam
paign purposes. The Colonel did not
express himself in exactly those words,
but in an exchange of views previous
to the assembling Of the committee, he
suggested:
why not adjourn this meeting until
the next session of Congress? After
the campaign is over We'll have no use
for the investigation" The purpose Of
Nh. Lcntz' resolution providing for the
investigation was not that he cared so
much to relieve the critical situation in
Shoshone County, but that he hoped to
tabricate some hostility to organized la
Dor on the part of the Republican party,
and thus afford Democracy new ma
teriai with which to fight in the coming
campaign.

by fatty and plainly cOntradicting. par

fers to the formation af bleaching

as follows:
'The Lancashire bleaching trade will

involve the capitalization of from &c.
100000 to f12,000,000 (S4S, 665,000 to

admissions from a Democrat

The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial, Eli Perkins was intro
duced to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-
thewool Kentucky Democrat. The
judge is we'll known in the Blue Grass
region and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up TO as High
Priest Of 'befo' the wah Democracy"
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was a Democrat, too, and he
became confidential with him at once.
How are we Democrats getting
along, Judge?" asked Eli, in a confden-
tial tone.
The Judge looked at Eli moment to
see If he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
well, sir, we are getting on very
we'll financially, but politically we are
running behind. Yes, I'm afraid we are
running behind"
"What causes this?'' asked Eli.
Well sir said the Judge, sadly, 81
am afraid our party has not been alto
gether right. We have erred in some
things"
Where have we erred, Judge?'
"Well, sir, l hate to admit it, but our
Grover Cleveland policy hurt us Ken
tuckians. I wouldn't say it to a black
Republican, but we Democrats all adj
nit it among ourselves. You see," said
the Judge, 1--WE used to get 35 cents for
wool, and big price for hemp and to-
bacco before Grover came in, but that
Wilson bill hurt US. 1t knocked wool
down to j cents. Free jute, put in to
help the cotton fellows, ruined our
hemp and it rotted in the ground. Then
welowered the tariff on tobacco and our
tobacco went down on u.s. We didn't
complain, but we Democrats did a good
deal Of thinking Cattle and hogs got
lower and lower. and when Grover
went out we were pretty poor-yes,
doggone hard up, sir!'
Are they still bad--the times? % asked
Eli.
mo, honestly the times are good
Wool and hemp and tobacco have
doubled in price and are still going up.
Cattle and hogs are high and our blue
grass farmers are getting rich.'
well, what is the matter, then?'
"Why, these good times have knock
ed out our dear old Democratic party.
Our Democratic farmers say they will
never vote for free trade or low tariff
again.
We'll what can we Democrats do?"
asked Eli.
at hate to admit if - said the Judge
sadly, 'sbut if we Democrats want to
win in kentucky again we've got to
keep the tariff right where it is. That
old Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver
will be a scarecrow to every farmer in
Kentucky and Tennessee. We've tried
low tariff and we know-Tm ashamed
to say SO, but we know it hurt us! No.

Porto Rican Affairs.

Speaking of affairs in Porto Rico, g.
L. Sayton, an official Of the Department
of Agriculture, who has recently been
there. says: whatever capital is in
vested III the sugar factories, emanat-
ing at all from island sources, is purely
Spanish It does not belong to Porto
Rico The peculiar system maintained
by Spain through ali of the business
concerns and SO far as their own capt.
tai was employed, threw everything
into the hands of the Spaniards, who
were simply in Porto Rico doing bust
ness. They do not belong to that ele-
ment OF Porto Ricans that we feel so
tender about, and would not become
citizens of Porto Rico or this country,
whatever becomes of the constitutional
question. Other factories are owned
and controlled by English capital, 9th
erS by German and the entire factory
system by Spanish. English and Ger
man.
'They agree with the planters or
manufacturers to take their sugar. re-
fine it. and place it ON the market, di
viding the profit on certain basis, as
is now being done, and as has been
done between the Hawaiian planters
and the sugar trust for years. How
will they divide the profits? Even?
Each getting 371a per cent? We do
not know. Only the parties interested
know This point is clear, however,
and that is that the Porto Ricans arc
not benefited. Simply the sugar com
binations Of this country and the for
eign planters or manufacturers Of
Porto Rico.
Isn't it q great deal that we should
have freed the Porto Ricans from a
condition as bad as slavery, making
what concession we Of right ought to
make, in justice to the people Of this
country, assuring them that after they
had attained the standard that one
ought to have to enjoy the rights and
privileges Of the Constitution of the
country, that then they might be adj
mitted with equal privileges with the
rest? Do you think this ought to be
before wages are paid in that country
somewhere near in comparison with
wages in this country, or before the
average citizen of that-country shall at
least be able to understand the prim-
airy principles of our government and
institutions? We say no. We should
especially not bring in this great horde
of cheap laborers who receive less per
day than one person could live on in
this country and yet they are supposed
to support families on this. We believe
the laborers of this country will en-
masse resent this proposition.
Il am thorough believer in expan-
sion. believe that expansion is fraught
with incalculable benefit both to the in
habitants of the island and to the peo-
pie Of this country, when Congress
shall have framed such fair honest,
just and equitable regulations as are
consistent with the right Of our own
labor and industries"

Manila, May 4.-The United States
transport Meade has been ordered to be
ready to sail tomorrow. 1t is supposed
that Maj.Gen. Otis with his personal
staff, will then start for the United
States.
The insurgent archives discovered by

has been obtained that some of them fur
nlshed munitions of war to the rebels.

1t is also said that the American au-
thorities are in possession from this
source of a detailed plan for attacking
the American forces, written by Aguin-

8, 1899, and translated into Spanish by
Buencamino.
