Noyes' impressions of the Sulus In gen.
eral; at present we have eyes only for
the sultan. whom the Washington jour
nalist thus describes: His majesty
is short and chubby. with dark, puffy,
pock-marked face. a thin mustache OF
the rudimentary Japanese type, which
failed to cover an ugly mouth and the
duh eye of the blase, unenthusiastic
Turk. His filed and betel-stained teeth
are decayed and blackened. He wore
European suit Of light gray, with white
shirt and collar (but lacking tie and
cuffs), tan shoes and a close-fitting
black velvet turban. A very broad.
looselv-tied cotton sash encircled his
waist and was in its breadth and in the
extent to which 1t fell below the bottom
of his coat the incongruous element in
his European costume. He wore sew
eral rings, including IA large pearl;
gold watch chain showed conspicuously
outside his coat, and he carried a black,
silver-headed cane"
AS the sultan was rowed out to the
transport n salute of II guns was fired
in compliment to him, but the compli-
ment came near to being wasted. "At
the first reverberation," says Mr..
Noyes "he grasped post of the launch
with one hand and braced himself
against his seat with the other" He
was plainly scared. On board ship he
was greatly impressed with the electric
lights and electric fans, mysteries he
could not fathom. Another queer thing
to the visiting Moro dignitary was the
ice which was served at dinner aboard
ship He had never seen it's like be-
fore; but after experimenting found it
agreeable and drank copiously of
sweetened ice-water. The ice cream
was another puzzle, and the sultan, af-
ter a mouthful, dismissed 1t, saying it
was "too cold"
Later in the evening his Moham-
medan highness unbent sufficiently to
pay several flatterng compliments to
the American ship, the American ladies
| ana to Yankee ways in general and
declared his intention of visiting the
United States. The furthest away
from home he has yet been is Mecca
| AIR. Noyes expresses the opinion that
the suggested trip of the sultan and
his brothers and a few of the most
powerful dattos to America could hard
ly fail to have the most beneficial re-
suits in the maintenance of peace and
good order in the Sulu archipelago and
the continuance of amicable relations
between Americans and Moros. "The
American influence over them" he
| adds, "is strengthened in proportion as
they are moved to wonder and admira-
| ton by things American. Their i'm
| pressions of the republic are prac-
tically all to be formed. Most of them
have never before even heard of the
| United States. The ability of the
Americans TO sway the forces of ma
| turc, as demonstrated to the Moro
mind in the applications of electricity
| and in the making of ice, creates as
| deep an impression as the show of
| military strength in the fine dress
| parade of armed giants and in the
booming of the great guns. The indi .
| cations of interest in and regard for
| the Moros have also good effect"
Wha. a lark visit from the sultan
| to the president at Washington woulo
| be for the irrepressible representatives
Of our irreverent newspaper press!

"HE BILL creating q civil gov
ernment for Puerto Rico
Il and providing temporarily
the revenue for its support,
which will today by presidential sig
nature become a law, has encountered
naturally the opposition of all Demo-
cratic politicians, because 1t is the
measure supported on the eve of a
presidential campaign by the Repub-
lican administration which is asking
TO be continued in power.
Not so naturally ana not 80 eXplic-
ably, it has also encountered oppost-
tion from a number of Republicans
distributed unevenly throughout sec
tions of our country. Some of this
opposition, we believe, has beer in
terested. 1t has been inspired by the
trusts, such as the two which, having
bought up in Puerto Rico great re-
serves of sugar and tobacco, hoped to
get this merchandise into the port at
New York duty free: or by the milling
trust, which finally succeeded in fore
ing the senate TO lift the slight duty
which it at first proposed to levy at
Puerto Rican ports upon articles of
food imported from the United states.
Some Of it was the honest prompting
of creditable sentiment which for
the moment did not perceive the pecu-
liar necessity for a simple revenue
system in Puerto Rico, while the struc-
ture of the new civil administration
was being put in place.
TO the citizens who have been in
this aforementioned frame OF mind to-
ward the bill which passed congress
yesterday afternoon, we say: Judge
not by your fears but by the accom-
plished results. Give tha new law n

Issued by the Commissioners of
the African Republics.

dress to the people of the United States.
After expressing regret at their inabili-
ty to accept many of the invitations ex-
tended to them they expressed their
thanks to the American public for 1.-The
deep sympathy they have shown for the
cause of the two struggling republics. .
Continuing, the address says:

boastful allegation of the colonial sec
rotary and other British statesmen that

pendence of our two small states is alb
solutely devoid of truth
The address then goes at great length
into the history of the relation between
Great Britain and the Beers which it
charges is one of violated faith and bro
ken pledges cloaked under the display
of magnanimous and irreproachable
principles"
Coming down to the discovery of gold
in Johannesburg in 1885, the address
says:
"All the forces of land greed and gold
hunger, stimulated by the desire to
avenge what is known as the battle of
Majuba hill, were let loose"
Then follows a history of the political
agitation which eliminated in the
Jameson raid. Mr. Chamberlain, Sir
Alfred Miner and Mr. Cecil Rhodes"
continues the address. ARE the terribly
diabolical trinity which had brooded
over and shaped the destiny of South
Africa during the calamitous period.
These gentlemen combined forces so as
to achieve by subtlety and craft and
Misrepresentation what DR.. Jameson
and the raiders failed to obtain by open
violence"
The address declares that the capital
lists control the press of South Africa
and that the editors of these subsidized
journals were appointed special CORES
pondents of the principal dailies. The
broad charge is made that Mr.. Cham
Defldln revival OF the SuZerd1nIy claim
in 1897, his public utteranceS, Sir Alfred
Miners speeches and inflammatory
dispatches and the efforts of the South
African league under the presidency of
Cecil Rhodes was all directed towards
the ultimate destruction of the two
Dutch republics.
The address then takes up the various
internal questions which contributed
towards the outbreak of war and dis
cusses them in great detail. making
wholesale denials of the English repre-
sentation. The address declares that at
the Bloemfontein conference both Pres
ident Steyn and President Kruger en-
| deavored to avert the catastrophe by
cOnceding even more than the original
demands on the franchise question, but
| their efforts were fruitless. 1t is as
| Beers and the claim is advanced that
they took arms only in self-defense. The
! address contends that the policy OF
| Great Britain was designedly shaped SC
| as to compel the Beers to send on the
9Th of October what is commonly known
| as their ultimatum to Great Britain
| Taking up the campaign to date, the ad-
dress says:

provisions but the conduct of the pres

BIG TRADE WITH RUSSIA.
America to Be Given Preference Over
Other Markets.

New York, June 26.-Adolf Rothstein,
the Russian fnancier, before sailing for
Europe. said of the Chinese eastern
railroad:
Up to the present we have expended
some $40 10000 but before completion
an additional 500, 100000 will be dis
pursed. The road will not be completed
Tor, 1 should say, quite fifteen months,
as we hnd we shall have to bore a tun-
mel some four and a half miles long on
the Russian side of Hardin, the head
quarters of the railroad. The benefits
which American manufacturers will de-
rive IN the shape of contract will be
most important. The proposal for the
awarding Of the immense contracts for
material etc, have first to be submit
ted to the Russian government as it has
guaranteed the payment of interest on
the bonds of the road. Mr.. White
minister of finance has assured me-
however, that he will place no obstacle
IN the way of contracts being sent to
the United States, which in diplomatic
language take to mean that he
might object to the filing of orders in
other foreign countries. I am there
fore safe in stating that possibly every
thing required outside Russia will be
purchased in this country
1t is hard at the present stage to ar
rive at other than approximate figures
OF what the material and rolling stock
contracts for the Chinese eastern rail-
road will amount to, but I consider that
they will reach an aggregate of about
S4O,000,0 600. I may also state that as the
cars government is extremely friendly
to the United States it may be counted
on as a certainty that in the many
commercial undertakings-bo rail-
road and industrial-which Russia is
now becoming interested in preference
will be given American manufacturers
for the supply of requisite material
etc"
Besides his railroad enterprise, Mr.
Rothstein has secured a concession from
the Russian government for the work
ing of gold regions, situated about 100
miles north of the city Of Vladivostoch
in the PTimorsk. state of Siberia.
''Since 1 have been here" he said, -
have received two cables informing me
of additional rich discoveries of gold
Later on American capital will be
brought into the scheme and, OF
course, all the machinery will be
purchased in the United States"
