BIG SUM NEEDED.
Smith for the Postal Service
Aggregate s121,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Postmaster
General Emory Smith has framed his
estimates to be submitted to congress
and will ask an aggregate of about
S121,0OO,O00 as the appropriation for
the entire service for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1902. This includes
an estimate of $I3,5O0,0O0 for the
rural free delivery service. BY the
close of this fiscal year 1900 rural
free delivery routes throughout the
United States will have been estab-
lished, and the general extension con-
templated for next year will involve
about 4,500 additional routes. The
success of the service so far insti-
tuted has resulted in plans for very
general extension next year. The
postmaster general, together with
other officials, is investigating the
feasibility of putting the service in
operation at every point throughout
the country not reached by the reg
ular free delivery service in operation
in the cities.

Mass Meeting I'm Denver Protests
Against Action of the Limon,
Coli Mob.

Denver, Col, Nov. 19.-At mass
meeting held here Sunday strong pro-
tests were made against the actions
of the Limon mob that burned John
Porter, the negro rapist and murder
er, at the stake. The meeting was
presided over by C. NJ. Hobbs, presi-
dent of the Y. NJ. c. A., and speeches
were made by Gov. C. S. Thomas,
Mayor H. v. Johnson, of Denver;
President Slocum, of Colorado col
lege; Rabbi Friedman, Rev. Coyle,
Mrs. Sarah Platte Decker, prominent
in National Woman's club circles, and
others. They all spoke in strong
terms, condemning what was termed
the "Limon atrocity," and also de-
nounced the sensational display of
newspaper stories concerning it. The
audience at times was stirred almost
to riotous demonstrations of ap-
proval.
Resolutions adopted admit the diff
ficulty of adequately characterizing
the crime for which Porter was pun
ished, but declare that, however much
the negro by his crime nerited death,
no crime can justify recourse to such
barbaric methods, and that, while the
action of the people of Lincoln county
is attributed to excitement and pas
sion, it is none the less condemned
and discountenanced Hope is ex-
pressed that law will be speedily en-
acted in Colorado providing effective
punishment for such crimes and pro-
viding punishment for anyone taking
part in a lynching.
Gov. Thomas in the course of his re-
marks disclaimed any responsibility
for the affair, saying that he under
stood that Sheriff Freeman had agreed
to leave Porter in Jail for eight days,
and had gone out of town so believing,
only to return to learn that the sher-
if and his prisoner were on the vay
to Limon.
"This awful offense has been COM
mitted by an entire county" he con-
tinued. "All we can do is to declare
that we, as citizens of the same state.
deplore and condemn this act of bar
barity."
Limon. Col, Nov. 19.-After being no.
titled that some fragments of bones Of
a human being had been found on the
prairie near where John Porter was
burned at the stake, Coroner Brown
and jury summoned by him gathered
up the remains" and held an inquest.
The jury's verdict was to the effect that
the remains were those of John Porter,
and that death was at the hands of
parties unknown" The remains were
buried in a small box near the scene Of
the lynching.

REPORTS ON HAWAII.
Ex-President Sanford II. Dole Gives
Interesting Facts About
the Islands.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease of
the Hawaiian race has been steadily grow
ing less rapid for the past several decades.
especially the female population. accord
ing to the annual report of ex-President
Sanford b. Dole, governor of Hawaii. The
Increase of part Hawailans tends to keep
down the number of the pure Hawaians.
While the figures show race progress the
census reports as to surviving children are
discouraging. In both the censuses of 1890
and 1896 the pure Hawaiian percentage of
survivors was the lowest OF all nationals
ties represented h the islands.
An encouraging outlook for the Ha-
wailans exists in the fact that out of 6.37
owners of real estate In 1896. 1895 were pure
Hawaiians and 722 part Hawaiians. The
facts are significant as showing the own
ership of holdings by so large a number of
pure Hawaiians and the evident tendency
of the race to acquire homesteads.
The ex-presdent reports that there is
reason to expect that annexation Is going
to influence Hawaiian character very IA
vorably through the changed conditions
effected. Their old dependence on their
chiefs has ceased and they are forced to
rely more upon themselves, and their foot
ing with the white men in the future will
be equal The political privileges they en-
joy. in common with other American citi-
zeEs. he says. will tend to educate them
In public affairs.
The total valuation of real and personal
property in Hawaii subject to ad valorem
assessment In 1900 is $97. 491, 5S4 The re-
ceipts from taxes are estimated at $1,A1.-
$50. The commerce of Hawaii Is shown
for the period between January and June
IA, 1900, as follows: Imports. $40. $50. Sic: ex-
ports, l4,404496; customs revenues, $751;
S97. With the exception of the production
of sugar. rice fire wood, fertilizers and live
stock and the promotion of irrigation, the
development of the natural resources of
the Hawaiian islands is stated to have
scarcely begun.
Recommendations are submitted for
legislation thoroughly revising the Ha-
waiian corporation laws In view of some
deficiencies and questionable features in
the same, and new conditions since annex

rious commissioners for the protection Of
food fishes; provision for education OF

Manila, Nov 19.-(First uncensored
news by cablegram since the Amer

messed a very considerable increase In
rebel and American activity in the
field. Many s&irmishes occurred and
several engagements in northern and
southern Luzon. The termination of
| the rains permits a resumption OF OPP
erations on both sides.
The Americans are undertaking a
series of aggressive movements
against the insurgents, notably upon
the island OF Samar, against Gen.
Lukban. whose forces hold the entire
island with the exception Of three
coast towns. each of which is gar
risoned by two companies of the
Twenty-ninth infantry and a platoon
of artillery.
The rebels are continually shooting
into the garrisoned towns, and our
forces have not been sufficient to re-
taliate effectively. Commerce in
Samar has been at standstill and
most Of the influential inhabitants
have departed. Gen. Hare has arrived
there with ESQ men. He will bring
eight companies of the Second infan-
try from the island Of Martinique as
they may be needed and will proceed
energetically to crush Gen. Lukban.
Meanwhile United States gunboats
will patrol the coast to prevent the
escape of the insurgent leader. Lux

DEMOCRATIC sYMPATHlEs.

The Democrats will not be
obliged to waste any Of their nat
ural sympathies on the desert air
this season They have already
poured it out abundantly on Ag-
uinaldo and his patriotic cutthroats
and hooters, They have found a
vent for their emotions in South
Africa and now they can employ
the residue in China. The Boxers
ale entitled to generous doses of
Democratic sympathy. Are they
not trying to throw off the foreign
yoke? There would be no uprising
Of the righteous fists of peace" if
the foreign pigs would keep out of
the flowery kingdom What BUSH
ness have Christian missionaries to
interfere with Pagan worship? The
Chinese Joss is as sacred to the
pig tails as are the golden Lodges of
the Rand to the Beers. Should
not the Chinese be allowed to gov
ern themselves according to their
own sweet will, and if they do not
want any Christian missions in
their country, haven't they per-
feet right to destroy them? No
good Democrat can refrain from
dropping a few sympathetic tears
for the cause of the Boxers. @

AMERICAN FREIGHT LOSSES.

IL the gold mines of the United
States were yielding $500, 100000 year
IL would be ~ matter OF congratulation
from one end of the country to the 9TH
er; it would be a matter of wonder to
the whole world outside. Yet the for.
Cign commerce, Of the United States
amounts to 1000 millions Of dollars a
year; that is, the, imports and exports
Of the country, and of that amount
quite $200O00,000 a year, which are
just as good dollars as those taken from
the mines, go to foreign shipmasters
and owners. There is that much less
received back from our exports, and of
course it goes to enrich the Golfers
mostly of Germany and Great Britain.
And that ought not to be. If a mer-
chant depended upon his neighboring
merchant to deliver him goods, paying
him large freights for the same, the re-
suit would be that the merchant who
sold his own goods and delivered them,
and also delivered the goods of the 9th
er merchant, would own both stores in
year or two, and it is exactly SO on a
large with the United States. She sits
on the shore and says: ave have some
contracts to deliver some packages of
cotton and wheat and oil and locom o.
tives and steel rails and preserved
meats, etc, to the needy world outside.
But we do not propose to keep our ov n
horse and express wagon. We propose
to send these packages by the express
wagon that will do it cheapest. The
Englishman and the German under
take TO carry it cheaper than any
American in the business, and they
get the goods" The result is that $780,
600, 600 of American money that ought
to be in circulation in the United
States is transferred every year across
the sea, which enables our neighbors to
build beautiful ships and carry larger
and larger cargoes every year at lower
and lower frsights. But it is act busi-
ness, and though 1t seems like a simple
proposition, 1t IS apparently impossible
to get majority of the American peo-
pie to ever see it. Prudent England
and still more prudent Germany are
lavish in their expenditures for ships,
and the only satisfaction that Ameri-
cans have is that when such an acct.
dent as that which occurred at Hobo
ken on Saturday afternoon comes, no
American ships are burned. Salt Lake
Tribune,
