Porto Ricans don't
Fear Empire.

<s-e-nN--------
The proclamation issued last
month at Porto-Rico setting forth
the reasons why they celebrate
the IS Of July should be COM
menoed to all anti-imperealist who
believe, or affect to be. lieve, that
the destruction, of our liberties is
night and that the administration s
philippine policy means tyranny
and oppression to the natives.
The Porto Ricans have not obtain
ed all that they were entitled to
and that it was our duty to accord
them. but they contrast their pre-
sent condition with that which
obtained under Spanish rule, and
it is an instructive contract.
July, 1898, the proclamation
says. took the Porto Ricans by
surprise, and. while they well
coined the United States, it was
not without doubts and apprehen-
sions. Whata marvellous tran
stormation sincei Here is what
the Porto Ricans have lost:
We have no longer the stamp
ed paper;
Nor the dues on transfer of
property;
Nor the personal certificates;
Nor the passport;
Nor the export'duty1
Nor the tax on professions;
Nor the import duty, which is
now insignificant, and which it is
left US to abolish;
Nor the tribute to the crown OF
Spain;
Nor the tribute TO the Veraguas
race;
Nor the tribute to the ministry
of colonies;
Nor war tribute in time OF
peace, and navy tribute without
nav;
MOI eus onei people (who
were aol p o Ricans).
Nor mounted police (suardia
ciyiD;
Nor military courts to try Or
binary and political sffenses;
Nor alcades appointed BY he
government;
Nor military governor.
And here is what the pro-
clamation says they have gained
But We have the inviolability OF
our homes and the habeas corpus
The court of justice composed |
of Porto Rican magistrates;
The divorce law, which guar
antees domestic peace;
Uniform currency;
Regularity in the exchange;
Postal money orders;
Uniformity in the postal stamp;
The municipalities will be auton-
,mous;
We have suffrage, the extension
Of which is left to US;
We have Porto Ricsn troops;
An insular police composed of
P orto Ricans;
Free justice, for which the judi
ges are responsible, without the
neon 'enience of theprejudgm ent
And quick procedure, in the

And we have representation in

ROBBERS TAKE $1,000.
Mysterious Theft From Adams Ex-
press Company at keokuk.

Keokuk, Sept. 27.-The Adams Ex-
press Co. was robbed, Monday night,
at the Union depot, of $1,000. The cur
rency was consigned from the Keokuk
bank to Salem, Ia. and should have
gone out at 7:15 Tuesday morning ov-
er the Mt. Pleasant branch. 1t was
delivered to the Express company on
Monday and receipted for by Express
Cashier Fred Schlotter He turned it
over to Harry M. Carnahan, the local
depot agent, who put it in the SAFE.
On Tuesday morning when Carna-
han checked off his express the pack
age was gone.
Superintendent J. HI. Butler. of Oma-
ha, came in last evening and began
an investigation of the theft. So far
no clue has been found. Agent Steele
had no personal contact with the
package, and it seems apparent that
Depot Agent Carnahan would not
take a package for such an amount
after he had duly receipted for it and
was responsible for its safe keeping

PROMOTION FOR w. c. BEsLER.
Has Now Become General superinten-

Has Now Become General Superinten-
dent to Philadelphia and Reading.
Galesburg, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-William G..
Besler, formerly superintendent of the
st. Louis division of the c., B. & O.,
the officiary of the Philadelphia and
Reading company, has had another
splendid promotion added to the ad-
vancement he has already secured
since becoming connected with that
important system. Copies of circular
letters have been received here in
which he was on September % ap-
pointed by First Vice President Theo-
dore Voorhees, to be general superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia and Read
ing, with which is also connected the
Atlantic City railroad. He takes the
position formerly held by l. A. Swell
gard, resigned.
Mr.. Besler's advancement in the
Reading has been remarkable. When
he went to that road he took the SUI
perintendenoy of the Reading division.
A few weeks ago the Lebanon division
was added to his jurisdiction. Now he
is in general charge of both these divi-
sions, together with the Atlantic City
railroad. The Reading is one of the
strongest railway companies in the
east, handling the larger part of the
immense coal business of Pennsylva
MIA. Superintendent Besler's head
quarters will be at Reading. The
news of his last promotion has beer
learned with much interest in rail
road circles in Galesburg.

ARE M'kINLEY AND HAY ouTa
Boston Paper Prints Story Indicat-
ing Serious Break Between Them.


Boston, Sept 27.-The Globe tomor-
row morning will publish story in
dicating there has been serious
break between Secretary of State
John Hay and President Mckinley.
Secretary Hay is in robust health, but
is apparently taking no part in the
important diplomatic work in which
this government is concerned. He
has been at Lake Sunapee. N. H., two
months, and said today he will re-
main the rest of this month at least.
His mail has been small, considering
his position, even if he is on a vaca-
tion, and the greater part of it must
have been expected to be unimport.
ant, as it has been allowed to lie in
the postotfice. Whether Secretary
Hay is in full accord with the foreign
policy which is being pursued by the
administration, under the personal di-
rection of President Mckinley, or not,
it is apparent that he has had no
hand in the exchange of diplomatic
notes recently.

CENSUS OF BURLINGTON.
viii Show Population Below the 25,-
600 Figure.

Burlington, Sept. 27.-If a telegram
that the Hawkeye has received from a
thoroly reliable Washington cores
pondent proves correct, the recent
census will show Burlington to have
population of less than $4,000 inhabi-
tants. A few days ago the report was
given out that the census of cities with
a population of $4,000 or over had al
ready been given. To verify this and
ascertain if Burlington's figures were
not being withheld because of possi-
BILE error in the count, the Hawkeye
telegraphed it's correspondent to make
personal investigation and if possi-
bic secure the exact figures. His re-
ply is as follows:
"The list of cities having popula-
tion of $4,000 and over is almost COM
pleted; about twenty are yet to be
announced. Burlington, is not one of
the number. The figures for Burling-
ton will be given when the state of
Iowa is published"

FARMERS FEEL RELIEVED.
Arrest of Parties Who Burned and
Dynamited Threshing Machines.

Dynamited Threshine Machines.
Mt. Auburn, Sept. 27.-On the night
of August 5 the thresher outfit which
was owned by G. M. Thorp, of Vinton,
and which was being operated on
farm just east of town was burned in
mysterious manner. Threats were
made on the Saturday night before the
fire occurred which furnished clew
to work on and the arrest of one Fawn
Jacobs, young man of this locality.
After being placed in the sweat box he
admitted that he had burned the ma
chine. He also confessed that he was
given $40 to do the jo' by Will Peter
son, a prosperous young farmer living
just north of town. Peterson was ar
rested, but is now out on bail. There
is more to be added to this that anoth-
er machine was blown UP by dynamite
shortly after the burning of this one
and in the same locality.
Just what will follow we are not
prepared to say just yet. But one
thing is sure-the people of this local
ity are feeling somewhat relieved. Far
mers We're beginning even to dread to
help their neighbors thresh on ac-
count OF this dynamite work.

Investigation to Decide Wager
Brings Out Strona Facts.


Sioux City, Sept. PA canvass
of the travelling men of the Northwest
just made to settle bet indicates
that they are not deserting the repub-
lican party by hundreds, as asserted
by the democrats.
After hot argument upon this mat
ter, j. H. Scriven, of Mitchell, S. D.,
made wager with another COM
mercial man several weeks ago that
out of any 100 travelling men selected
indiscriminately in this northwestern
country, at least eighty would be re-
publicans. Acting together they i'm
mediately sent out letters to 100 men
chosen Unfortunately and the last
reply came in last week.
Of the entire number of men ad.
dressed eightytwo were republicans
and only eighteen were Bryan men;
of that number, one who voted for
Mckinley in 1896 will vote for Bryan
this year, and four who voted for
Bryan four years ago will vote for
Mckinley this year.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The state de.

the Taota of Shanghai, of the appoint
ment of Prince Tuan, former heir ap-
parent of China, as grand secretary
to the emperor. He says nothing of
the reported designation of Tuau as

is entirely according to Chinese forms
for prince of Tuan's rank to fill both
posts simultaneously.
The department has not as yet been

the reply to be made by Great Britain
to the German note but confidence is
felt that it will be like this govern

feature of proposition, namely, the
demand for tie surrender of the per-
patrators of the Pe6ing outrages as
preliminary to the negotiations. In
view of the answers already received

ofhcials are at loss to account tor
