The Americanization of England.

There comes a lugUbrious wall from
the London Daily Chronicle" a wall
in the form Of satirical verse. The
writer complains that he cannot turn
around without seeing something
American; that American kodaks. beef.
canned goods, alarm clocks and
heiresses have invaded The most private
seclusion Of English homes; that Amer
lean oil is In English lamps, English
factories are filed with American ma
chinery, American advertisements of
American pills are all over the landscape
once sacred TO tradition, and IL looks
as if in the near future all English
ships and shipyards would be the prop
erty Of the transatlantic brother The
writer concludes:
"He fills my cosmos. and / can but see,
As every Tom and Jerry can,
Soon l. my kin. race cline, and land may be
Essentially American.
And may own, Of comfort quite bereft
That there is nothing really English left"
This may be a dismal prospect for
the gentleman who wrote the poem, but
it is rather difficult to see why it should
be dismal for all of his countrymen. or
why he should be ''of comfort quite
beTeft" II Is safe to say that Amer
lean beef would not be eaten in Eng
land If it were liable to give the in
habitants dyspepsia, nor would Amer
lean oil be used If people really pre-
ferred candles. II is true that the
American resident sometimes outrages
tradition by moving into a damp,
draughty, rheumatism producing old
stone castle and forthwith putting in
steam heat as he also does by using
the most modern kind Of a range in
stead of doing his cooking at a fire
place; but the Englishman can have
his castle just as it is If he likes, and
eat his meat raw If he wants to be
very ancient in his customs. Nobody
is going to compel him to use American
products if he prefers homemade ar
tcles.
The trouble with big, beautiful, moss
grown traditions is that they are so
frequently uncomfortable We all like

SETTING OUT FOR HAWAII.
Another Party of Porto Ricans on
Their Way Westward.

NEW ORLEANS, May ZS.-Another
cargo of Porto Ricans arrived here last
night en- route to Hawaii There are I'll
women, ia children, and $50 men in the
party. The latest arrivals are in far bet
ter condition than any that have yet gone
TO Hawaii. Captain Dyer, of the Cali
fornia. who brought them. says that when
he left Ponce there were 1900 OF the
natives ready and waiting to start for
Hawaii as soon as the vessels could take
them.
The disposition to emigrate is unceas-
ing. and the Hawaiian planters viii have
no difficulty in securing the 5000 Porto
Rican laborers they have arranged for.
More than half. or 5000. have already
sailed The Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association has arranged with A E.
MienviIle. d native Porto Rican. TO settle
il the island for a term of five year to
act as representative and correspondent
of the immigrants and keep them in
touch with their native country and to
arrange any differences that may arise
a large number of Italians have recent
Iy left Louisiana for Hawaii and have
proved satisfactory to the planters. but it
has been found necessary 10 work the
Italians on different plantations, as the
two races do not agree. The Porto Ricans
have a bitter hatred of the Italians.

Senator Quay is on his way home to

to take a long rest. The object of the
visit to Harrisburg with Governor Stone
is for the purpose of going over legisIa-
tive matters and discussing with the lead
ers final adjournment.
The action Of the Supreme Court yester-
day in declaring the second-class city
charter bill constitutional has developed
the fact that the recorder or chief officer
of the municipalities of Pittsburg, Ale
gheny and Scranton has not the power
of veto and it is proposed during the
senatorial stay here TO arrange legtsla-

recorders hands
To this end a bill Will have TO be in

A HURRY ORDER FOR TEACHERS.
The War Department TO Send COO
to tho Philippines.

President Taft of the Philippine Com
mission has cabled the War Department
that in order to establish the schools in
the Philippines by autumn, as recon-
mended in his report. special facilities for
transporting the coo teachers required for
this work viii be needed and he has in
sisted that the necessary steps be taken.
Teachers all over the country have been
taking the civil service examination for
these places and the War Department
has already authorized. upon recon-
mendation of the Civil Service Commis-
sion. over 300 teachers to go 90 Manila
upon army transports as rapidly as room
can be provided for :hem on the regular
transports Sheridan, which sails from
San Francisco Saturday. and Hancock,
which will sail June %.
Colonel Long, Superintendent of the
transport service at San Francisco, was
asked by the department the other day
how mar y teachers could be accommo-
dated on the Sheridan, and replied that
out of $50 first cabin places 100 had al
ready been taken. This left room for
only fifty teachers. President Taft was
advised of this situation by cable. and
replied insisting that efforts be made to
send a greater number on the Sheridan.
The result was that Colonel Long was
directed to fit up extra quarters on the
Sheridan for the men, who will be given
first cabin meals, and turn the hospital
on the ship into quarters for women.
Colonel Long has provided places, the
department Is advised. for about 260
teachers on the Sheridan, and is making
every effort to reach teachers authorized
at this time to go who can get TO San
Francisco in time to sail Saturday.
How many he will be able to notify in
time for them to sail on the first transport
is uncertain, and the War Department is
not advised of the names Of those who
will certainly sail General Bird said last
night that he hoped at least 200 teachers
would be able 70 reach San Francisco
from territory in that vicinity. He said
that it was the intention of the depart
ment to fit out a special teachers trans
port to sail from San Francisco about the
1st of July, which will take all who do
not sail in the meantime.
Thus President Taft's request will be
carried out even better than he had an
ticipated. General Bird said that the
War Department was taking these meas
ures in order to carry out to the fullest
extent possible the request Of President
Taft, and that the 500 teachers required
for the work outlined would all be in
Manila by the middle of August. and
