IMPRESSIONS OF GUAM.
Gen. Wheeler Tells of Americas
New Possession.

Gen. Wheeler Tells of Americas
New Possession.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Gen. Wheel
er has submitted to the navy DEPARTMENT
a report upon his observations and I'M
pressions Of the island of Guam. He
says the area of the island is about $50
square miles, of which one-half is sus-
ceptible of cultivation, although only
about l per cent is now under cu!tiva-
ton. The population is fixed at about
5000 souls nearly all of whom reside in
the towns. The soil is very fertile, and
fruits and staples are produced in GUAM
titles, the cocoanut trees especially hav-
Ing an appearance of thrift and bearing
power equal to any seen in the tropics
Inc dug-dug and other bread-fruit trees
grow to an enormous size on the island.
Deer and wild goats are found in
abundance. Flying foxes are numerous,
and form one Of the principal staples Of
food. Centipedes, wasps and largo spi-
ders and species Of small scorpion are
common, but their bite or sting is not
dangerous. There are no tarantulas and
no snakes.
The principal, and, in. fact, the only
industry of any consequence in Guam Is
the production and expectation Of copra,
the product in England selling for $75 a
ton.
LC lOWilS III tbs island are very neat
and simple large portion of them be-
ing built of stone. and the rest of nipa
and bamboo. The roads, with few excep-
tons, become very bad in the wet sea-
son, but as all the towns are on the coast,
sea travel is always available.
There is little money on the island, and
wages are low. Temperature is mild
and much cooler than the Philippines, al
though the inhabitants declare the heat
in August and September is almost sufto-
eating. The rainfall IS very heavy, and
dry days are few. Monsoons are felt with
violence for three months of the year, but
hurricanes are comparatively rare.
Earthquakes are tolerably frequent.
1t had been stated that in the south
west part of Guam leprosy was prey a
lent, but there are few traces of this
dread disease now, although one or two
persons were encountered who had the
appearance of lepers.
The people are very friendly, and as a
rule, are fearless.

Of the delegates that the former mayor
can control will go TO your mayor"
The Fourth ward delegation will not be
solid for Schiffmann after all. In the
Ninth precinct there was a tie vote, forty
votes being cast for the SchIffmann and
Kiefer tickets. Albert Johns, who head
ed the Schiffmann ticket, drew lots with
S. p. Childs and was defeated. There will
be contest in the convention over the
delegation.
Commissioners Mabon and Sandell, of
badly. j. 70. Markham was knocked out
at the precinct meeting held Saturday
night. Griggs went down to defeat in
his precinct in the Seventh Frank Ar
mold was thrown down in the Ninth ward
and the only one in the office to get a
seat in the convention was John w Fine
bout, in the First ward.
Commissioners Ma on and SandeI of
the board of public works, won out with
kfefer delegations In their respective pre-
cincts in the Eighth and First wards.

shoulder in his precinct of the Seventh

"NICK" KNOCKED OUT.
POTTGIESER WILL HAVE TO GET A
PROXY. IF HE DESIRES ACTION,

The Schfffmann delegates carried the
Fourth ward in every precinct The
IAlefer-Smith- Reeves combination was
slaughtered by about ten to one in the
precincts where there was anv opnosition
to Schiffmann. Former Senator Mick
Pottgieser put up a hard fight in the
second precinct, but was turned down
and consequently will not grace the con-
Ventor with his presence. He may be
among the distinguished Republicans
who, 1t Is understood, are to occupy seats
on the platform, but he will not bs among
the delegates. Mickey felt very sore
last evening over the result, and took 1t
as a personal matter. He considered that
his services to the party in the past en-
utled MIN to a place i'll the convention
without q contest.
Schiffmann attended personally TO the
primary liz the Seventh precinct, there
being six delegates to be elected from
there. The situation was never in doubt
and the count showed $50 votes for the
Schiffmann delegates and SO for ths KIef-
er-Reeres- Smith combination. AS in 9TH
er precincts in the ward, the Kiefer
Reeves and Smith combination all had
the same delegates, although the hea ling
of the tickets was different. There was
some effort made by the anti -Schiffmann
forces to carry the Eighth precinct, but
the combination ticket secured only one
vote in every eight.
At the Sixth precinct some of the coun-
ty officials undertook to help cut your
mayor" but gave up the fight all hour
before the primary closed. Repu able
voters in the precinct were not allowed
to vote unless they declared beforehand
who they were for.
Oar F. Reese presided over the cigar
box in which the votes were cast in the
Twelfth precinct, and consequently there
could be but one result IN the Ninth and
Eleventh precincts a show of contesting
the Schiffmann ticket was made, but
without any practical result. In the 9th
er precincts in the ward there was no op-
position to Schiffmann.

In LabOr'S
Field.

While the action has not been officially
promulgated, the leatherworkers' union
declared a boycott on the goods manufac-
tured by the P. R. l.. Hardenbef gh
Leather company, at a meeting held last
night.
The difficulty between the firm and the
union grows out of a disagreement as to
the employment of an inspector in the
factory who is q non-union man, and who,
the union men assert was unfair in his
duties. Two weeks ago, after endeavOr-
ing to secure the removal of the inspect
or, the firm made final refusal, and gave
the union men notice that they must quit
the establishment.
The men We're willing to meet the ISSUE
as Il was made, and the matter came be
fore the executive committee of the
Trades and Labor assembly for adjust
ment. To the committee the firm declar-
ed 1t would re-employ number of the
union men, refusing four of the most &C
tive members of the union, and declined
absolutely to discharge the inspector.
When this report was read at the meet
ing last night, the union voted to boycott
the factory's goods, and this action was
referred to the assembly for Endorsement
There will be another meeting tomorrow
night, and If the firm changes its attitude
before that time the boycott will not be
