HAS A HARMLESS AUTOMOBILE
A Washington Man Has One That
Turns on It's Hack when n
Runs Away.

b. II. Warner, of Washington, made
rather peculiar and what might have
been most disastrous visit to a big
sewer now in course of construction
In the capital city. He recently pur-
chased a locomobile to aid him in in
vestigating different sections Of his
district.
One morning, says the Star, he went
out to pay his respects to Andrew
Gleeson, an old friend of his, who is
constructing the big sewer referred
TO. He was ACCOMPANIED by his son.
They soon reached the banks Of the
James Creek canal As the road was
very narrow and said to be impossible
a little farther on, Mr.. Warner en-
deavored to effect a backward motion
on the part Of the horseless carriage,
and in so doing caught his sleeve in the
wrong valve, and in an instant the We
hicle flew like an eagle over the big
wall bordering the James Creek canal
and plunged the two occupants into
the air, both making sOmersaults Mr..
Warner came down in a channel Just
large enough to hold him, which had
recently been dug through the mud to
carry off surface water The locomo-
bile turned a complete somersault and
knocked the dashboard, side bars and
top rigging into a thousand pieces.
The whole incident occupied only
few seconds, and when Mr.. Warner re-
covered from his surprise he found
himself under the locomobile, which
was turned bottom upward, with the
engine still in motion and the wheels
revolving at a rapid rate, while his son,
who had landed on his feet, was sur
veying the situation with solicitude.

Conditions of Speed on Railroads.
Railroading has already been pro-
life source of profit to the inventor,
but before speeds materially higher
than those now used can be generally
adopted he must be called upon to
again improve the railroad in its every
member, says Everybody's Magazine.
The rail joint must either be abol-
ished altogether, making the lines con-
tinuous by welded joints, as is done
In the best street railway practice, or
mechanical joint better than any
yet made must be invented. But more
important than all will be methods of
preventing collisions while dispatc-
ing trains at short intervals. Since
electricity win be the motive power,
it is possible that this may be so ap-
piled as to make it impossible for two
trains to be run into each other even
by intent.

NEW HAT FROM PORTO RICO.
Summer HeadEear Made Of Grass and
Il Light and Cool But Won't
stand Wetting.

One of the things our new island pos
sessions have brought us is new
kind of summes hat. It comes from
Porto Rico and is made OF woven grass,
says the New York Sun.
The color is a bright tan, the shape
of the Fedora, and the cost is small.
The hat has not become very popular
yet, but few are seen in New York
streets and many more in the sub
urbs.
in its simplest form the hat has a
wide band of the same material and
the same color wound around the
crown, but some of the bands are dyed
red and blue, and the hats ornamented
with these are very gay indeed. A
variation from the usual form is
sombrero shape with an extra wide
brim.
The advantages of the hats are
lightness and GOODNESS. The slightest
breeze penetrates the woven grass.
The principal disadvantage is that If
once wet they shrink, and to counter
act this as far as possible each hat
contains a strong leather sweatband.

aonr brand Of Imperialism.n

couraging to have President Mckinley
declare that we know no Imperialism
in the United States except the i'm
perialism of a sovereign people The
phrase is smooth. satisfying, and di-
gestible but does il quite cover the
facts?
Porto Rico is part of the United

have decided that point quite definite

ney to practice at its bar, for no per
son not citizen Of the United States

That part OF the sovereign people in
habiting our West Indian territory is
legally entitled to all the benefits and
immunities of the American Constitu-
ton. equally with the citizens of the
other states and Territories. Far from
being allowed to enjoy them, they have
been subjected TO a kind Of oppression
very unlike "our only brand Of I'M
perialism'' as described by Nr. Mckin-
lev. In order to deprive them Of their
right of free domestic commerce, the
Constitution was violated and tariff
imposed upon them At the demand ana
in the interests of the trusts.
The President might have changed
his words slightly and uttered them as
referring 10 a condition To obtain at
some future time not mentioned, and
then we might be able 20 agree with
him. The Supreme Court is liable to
endorse the famous dicta Of glorious

ing of the Constitution Such a de-
cision would cover Porto Rico. the
Philippines. and Alaska, quite as fully

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1T looks as
though the labor problem that has per-
picked the Hawaiian sugar planters and
caused depression in sugar stocks is in
fair way to be settled. letter from
prominent planter, received today, says
that the Porto Ricans, who We're at first
condemned, have proved better workmen
than the Japanese, and they will be i'm
ported in large numbers as soon as pos
sible. He says they work faster. more
carefully. and intelugently than the Jap
anese, and are much less difficult to man
age.
Mariana Abril. editor of a paper at Car
guas, Porto Rico. is just back from
careful investigation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands as a place of emigration for his peo-
pie. Abril said: "The trouble in future
will be not TO get laborers to leave Porto

to select from thousands that will be

all reports to the contrary. The people

WORK have light labor, and children. when
not attending school, can also get work
There are 6,099 Porto Ricans in Hawaii
and there is room for 30, 900 more. 1t looks
as though this demand could be flied

General Macarthur Throws Light on
Conditions in Manila

General Macarthur in a letter to the
Adjutant General of the Army. just made
public, replies to a communication re-
ceived by him through the War Depart
ment from Mrs a. w. Ingalsbe Presi-
dent, and Miss Marcia Anderson, Secre-
tary, of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, of Columbus, Wis, and a
letter from j. w. Carlisle, of Media Pa,
in regard to the liquor traffic and the
social evil in the Philippines. General
Macarthur says that the writer's of these
letters have been misled as to the facts
and have also failed 10 take into proper
consideration the disturbed conditions in
the islands.
He declares that not only is the social
evil property regulated, but persons of
doubtful character have been deported
from the islands and regulations have
been adopted prohibiting the landing of
those from other countries. Commenting
upon the conditions in Manila, he says:
Il am convinced that the city of Manila
may today challenge comparison as to
its moral and orderly condition with any
city of the United States" He recon-
mends that the writer's of the letters or
their representatives be given free trans
portatiop to Manila where they will be
afforded every opportunity to see things
as they are. He explains that every pre-
caution has been taken by the military
authorities to prevent the spread of dis
ease. and adds: The care of the soldiers
health is almost the first duty Of the Of
hcers, and, far from pandering to his

A NAVY DEPARTMENT MYSTERY
Strange disappearance of the Plans
for the st. Louis.

The Navy Department is trying to solve
the mystery of the disappearance of plans
of the protected cruiser st. Louis. one Of
the five vessels for which contracts were
recently awarded. The Philadelphia ship
building firm of Neafie & levy was the
successful competitor for the St Louis
and complete plans were forwarded to 1t
by the Naval Bureau of Construction,
through the naval constructor assigned
to the firms works. A receipt for the
plans signed by the constructor. and an
other receipt signed by the president of
the firm were received by the COustruc-
tiou Bureau.
Chief Naval Constructor BowIes and his
associates were much astounded when
Neafie q Levy informed them that the
plans had not been received. It was adj
mitted that the receipt had been given,
but it was explained that this had been
prepared in advance. and signed mad
vertently. The constructor at the Neafie
C Levy works says that he received the
plans and turned them over to the firm.
No trace of the plans can be found. In
vestfgations are being made in Washing
ton and Philadelphia.
Plans of warships are guarded carefully
By the Navy Department, as foreign na-
tions are always on the alert TO secure
them. The United States Navy Depart
ment has never discovered that any
plans of American warships had been
sold TO foreign governments by its own
employees, or employees of Shipbuilding
firms. and nobody here rs willing TO say
that there has been any dishonesty in the
present instance. The plans of the St
Louis are similar to- the sister ships the
new Charleston and the Milwaukee. so
that the entire workings and arrange
meuts of three American protected cruis-
erS of the highest type would be known
to any shipbuilding expert or nation that
possessed those of the St. Louis.
