BILL TO DIVIDE
FOURTH CIRCUIT AGAIN
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

The bill for separating the Fourth
Judicial circuit, which emenated from
Fond du Lac, was killed by the Judici-
airy committee of the assembly reap
pears on the calendar and has again
been submitted for further iuyestiga
ton. 1t is conceded by the Judiciary
committee that some relief must be af-
forded this circuit Upon a cursory sur
vey Of the comparative facts as relating
to the various circuits, it is shown that
the Fourth Judicial circuit Is not only
greater in population than the average
circuits, but its property interests and
its litigation far exceed those in other
parts Of the state, not excluding Mil
waukee when the fact is borne in mind
that there they have five judgas Com

WISCONSIN CENTRAL
RAILROAD MAY BE SOLD
TO ILLINOIS CENTRAL

The air is thick with rumor- of gigan-
tic railway deals and combinations.
The most important Of these is n report
that the Illinois Central has secured or
is about to secure control of the Wiscon-
sin Central railroad.
1t is claimed that certain large stock
holders Of the Illinois Central have
bought privately al majority Of the Wis
consin Centrals preferred stock and are
assured Of a controlling interest in the
common. These purchases it is claim
ed, would be turned into the Illinois
Central rs a corporation, and thus give
the latter Il line from St Paul 50 New
Orleans
The Wisconsin Central has been prac-
tically controlled for some time 10y J. F.
Morgan and the Rockefellers, says the
Chicago Tribune, in discussing the m
mors, and it would not be harl for Har-
riman to obtain control of it. as both
Morgan and the Rockcfellers are closely
identified with him in the community
ownership plan, and are pulling togeth-
er in the same direction. 1t is not con
sidered probable, however, that the
Wisconsin Central would be made a
part Of the Illinois Central as the latter
has already a good system in the North
west and finds an outlet TO st. Paul
over the Minneapolis d St Louis, which
it will probably absorb in the near fu-
ture 1t is considered more likely that
the Wisconsin Central will be made Ill
timately II part of either the Great
Northern or Northern Pacific railroads,
for which ii would make good outlet
t. Chicago.

In the House of Lords recently the Pre-

on the subject of an investigation into the
conduct of the war ia South Africa said
the government had not made any pro
mise to institute an investigation He fear
ed that a full, just and equitable inquiry
would lead to renewal of the same species
of regrettable discussion as occurrsd dur
ing the exchange Of speeches between Lord
Wolseey and Lord Lansdowne. Still, if
the government was urged to make an in.
quiry it could not refuse without casting
suspicious upon the army.
Lord Rosebery wished to know, when the
government had washed its hands of the in
quiry, who had prom sed it,
Lord Salisbury suggested the appoint
ment of preliminary commission to in
quIre into thu promise, whereupon the sub
ject was dropped.

Tenpins on Plaza Colon
Unique Midnight Games with
a Novel Outfit.

Even iu siaid, old San Juan can be seen
some srange and uncanny sights in the ''wee
sma hours if the following tale is true.
One of our well known young men about
town was returning from rather protract-
ed call on his ''noyian and on his way to his
home had to pass by the Plaza Colon.
Hearing strange noises a. the upper end
of tue square he got up on the pedestal of
the C0lombus monument to listen and in.
vestigate, and for moment or two thought
he had discovered the Portorican Rip Van
Wrinkle and his spook friends.
What he saw was a unique game of ten
pins, not perhaps as weird as that played
in the katskills of old, hut sufficiently so to
hold his attention and make him wonder if
he had taken one cocktail too many.
A number of men and boys were playing
tenpins on the smooth surface of the plaza,
using for pins the large urIck common to
the Island and for balls cocos de aqua, a
pIantiful supply of which was near by in
the cart of street yender.
The early morning, the abs silence
observed by the players and the grotesque
shadows cast by the faint light of the moon
made a picture not easily to be forgotten.
The narrator is ciling to g. before not
airy and swear to the veraclty of his story
but says he can't prove it as since the insul
ar police have charge of the city they
don't permit any such "monkey shines"

Letter from Samoan Leaders

In letter recently written to President
Nc Kinley, the native Governors explain
their satisfaction with American rule as a
rule which let's them alone. "Our great

oe cast aside in our Government, that our
customs which we honor would be changed
or intelfered WITH" Nothing of the kind
has happened, and the Samoans are cores.
pondingly pleased. They say that they
feared "the rule of the soldier" but they
have found Commander Tilley kind friend
who has "kept his promises" There we
have, in living example, the secret of gov
erniDg colonies. 1t is the secret which
the English have learned, and which should
have been an open book to the Americans
when they Went to the Philippines. To in.
terfere as little as possible with native Gust
oms, to strengthen and utilize every form
of native government, above all to be kind
and just and to "keep promises'-those are
the elementary rufes.
