BUYING LITTLE
IN UNITED STATES
PORTO RICAN IMPORTS NOT
WORTH MENTIONING-WA
DUTY ON COFFEE.

San Juan, p. r., April 19.-The cores
pondent of the Associated Press learns
upon good authority that Gov Allen
now in Washington, will urge President
Mckinley so to coustrue the Foraker
bill that if the Porto Ricar tariff is re-
moved, the import duties upon goods
from foreign countries into Porto Rico
shall be paid to Porto Rico and not to
the treasury of the United States, as
is at present the case with most of the
duties collected here. 1t is argued that
local merchants are not benefited if the
United States receives the customs re-
ceipts.
According to the figures Of G. w.
Whitehead, the collector of customs fer
Porto Rico, the total import Guties for
March We're $S7.75S of which only y1S,-
$50 We're for American goods. March
can be taken as a fair average. The
chamber of commerce of San Juan has
resolved to send cable to Washing
ton, asking for duty on foreign coffee,
thus favOring the Porto Rico product.

ALL WIRES ARE DOWN.
Worst Mix Up of Telegraph for Several
Years.

Chicago, April 20.-Telegrap aphic commu-
nications with all points Of Cleveland has
been cut off early this morning by storm
which extends from Canada to Tennessee
and east to the Atlantic coast. A heavy
wet snow driven by gale has played
havoc with wires and poles and both
Western Union and Postal companies re-
port complete suspension of business to
the seaboard. Heroic efforts have been
made to reach New York by way Of At
lanta and the coast lines and via Win
nepeg and the Canadian Pacific route,
but thus far without success. Officials
here fear that this storm will cripple wire
equipment worse than for several years
past.

CO WILD OVER
FOOTBALL GAME
CNE HUNDRED THOUSAND ENG
LiSHMEN ATTEND,
A BARBARIC FEAST FOR ALL
NORTH AND SOUTH TEAMS MEET
NATION FORGET POLITICS
AND WAR

London, April 20.-War and politics
have taken a back seat for the day
throughout the United Kingdom. where
the sole absorbing topic of national i'm
portahce is the great football match at
crystal palace for the possession of the
Association cup. Sheffield United and
Iottenham Hotspurs are the two teams
competing ln the final.
The extraordinary interest annually
shown in the contest is heightened by
the fact that not only is the days battle
between the north and south, but it is
70 years since a London club figured in
the final.
The influx from the provinces to Lon
don beats all records. Sixty special
trains emptied into London thousands of
enthusiasts from all parts of the prov
inces and bewildered commanders of
northerners travelled all night without
sleep to witness the game. 1t is safe to
say that $4,000 prOvncials of all sorts
and conditions arrived in the metropolis
this morning and proceeded in a steady
ST. cam towards Crystal palace. With
London's quota. 100000 is a moderate es-
innate of the number of spectators who
viii witness the game.
That a day of feaStng is anticipated
may be gathered from perusal of the
items of the list of edbles prepared at
the Palace, which includes thirty cattle,
fifty sheep, 600 fowls, 22,4oO pounds of
potatoes, 10000 pork pies and less sub
stantial articles sufficient for an army

Two ballots We're taken. On the first ball
lot ten jurors voted mot guilty and two

THE
NAvY'S PRIDE
PRESENT HEAVY ARMAMENT A
MENACE,
WARSHIP SHOWS HER YITALS
WHEN HEAVY BATTERY IS IN AC-
TIoN-sUPERIMPosED TUR-
RETS THE THING.

New York, April 20.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
With a view to increasing their eff
cheney the navy department is consider
ing the advisability of modernizing the
battleships Oregon Indiana and Massa-
chusetts, which may be equipped with
superimposed turrets, if the recommen-
dation of some of the members of the
board Of construction are adopted. In
altering these ships it is desired by the
board to remove a most serious defect in
their design. The vessels are equipped
with circular turrets and when their 13-
inch guns are pointed in the same direc,
ton, they heel to such an extent as to
expose their unprotected hull below the
armor belt.
Under the plan which will be consid-
cred by the board of construction, it is
proposed to remove the four quadrilate ter
al turrets, accommoda ting ? eight-inch
guns each, with which each ship IS
equipped, and to install two elipiticai
eight-inch turrets on top OF the 13-inch
tulrets, thus giving each ship superin-
posed turrets.
Careful determine ton of the position OF
the eight--inch turrets will secure a per-
feet balance. The new battery arrange
ment will permit the addition of a for
midable row of six or five-nch guns.
The Oregon has arrived at Shanghai, en-
route to Bremerton, Wash, where she
will be placed out of commission, The
Indiana will be commissioned for the
cruise of the naval cadets and the Mas
sachusetts is with the North Atlantic
squadron.

WEEK IN WALL STREET.
Rumors of Great Combines Cause Ac-
tive Speculation.

New York, April 20. The relaxation Of
the money market LAS been the leading
motive of the increased activity Of spec
ulation in stocks The high rate for

foreign money markets. Bankers have

speculative liquidation early in the week
due to this cause. The Burlington deal
hase been the handspring of Specula-
ton and there have been rumorS cur
