HONOLULU, May 16 (via San Francisco.
May 2S).-Inspection of the Porto Rican
immigrants brought here by the steamer
Colon shows that they are in such state
from the need Of food that they must be

able them to bear the journey to the other
islands and to the plantations on which

joint committee of the legislature yes
terday paid a visit to quarantine island to
inspect the immigrants. The trip is said to
have ended in disagreement to the con-
dition of the immigrants and their value as
citizens of Hawaii.
Over half the immigrants aboard Of the
Colon were women and children. Many of
the men We're infirm while all were more
or less emaciated. This is attributed to
lack of food in their old homes
Objection is made here to the bringing in
of so many children, who will have to be
educated at the expense of the territory

to be unlikely to ever become healthy and
strong.

London Papers Do Not Pay Much At
tentiOn to It,

LONDON, May 2S-The London news
papers have paid scant attention to the
decision OF the United States Supreme
court IN the insular cases. The few COM
mehts made deal principally with the
confusing nature of the judgment" 1t
is however agreed that the practical re-
SUIT is oovious-that it leaves Congress free
TO deal with the annexed territories as it
pleases.
Ihe ST James Gazette says: TT is one
OF those legal fictions which had SO rnuch
TO do with the development of our owr
institutions. 1t Is certainly a Convenient
Judgment for President McKinley's gov.
ernment and will probably clear ava,
many difhculties bequeathed to American
statesmen by the Spanish war"

Awaiting the President.

The Homecoming of President and Mrs.
Mckinley is awaited with interest by the
attaches at the White House, where every
thing is being prepared for the return Of
the invalid wife of the chief executive. The
White House building and grounds are in
the most presentable condition. Mrs. Nc
kinley has seen many beautiful places in
California and the west, but the magnifi-
cent foliage in the White House grounds
just now rivals anything of the kind she
be refreshing to her. She loves the trees
and flowers of the White House grounds
and at no time of the year are they more
beautiful than now.
The President will probably not make any
effort to resume business in the old way

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
intimates that Gen. Joe Wheeler
will not marry rich widow or go to
Congress, but will await the coming
of the moderately strenuous war.
The dragging out of members of
Parliament by the legs is an impe-
rial feature that has not yet been
adopted in Washington, but an en-
pire cannot be builded in a day. All
things come to him who imperializes
continuously.
General Harrison's s wealth is va
riously estimated, public opinion
rating it as high. as half a million
dollars. Those who are best in
formed about the ex-President's af-
fairs, however, say he was worth
about S25O,0c0 or $3oo.0O0 At the
time he was elected President he
was reputed to have accumulated a
fortune of $4,000 from his law
practice. and this has been doubled
at least since that time.

To the citizens of Goldsboro

To the citizens of Go]dsboro
township:
The buildings at present used
for school purposes in this town
ship have become entirely made
quate for the accommodation of
the children in attendance.
During the present session the
enrolment in the white school
has reached more than nine hun
dred and thirty and we may GER
tainly expect more than one
thousand children to attend this
school next year. Goldsboro is
rapidly assuming the proportions
of city. Her future is no longer
a question of doubt. Ii our condi-
tion is now unsatisfactory on ac
count of over crowding, this
trouble will be aggravated from
year to year. It therefore becomes
imperative that we make suitable
provision for this increasing num-
Der of children.
Besides the pressing need for
the enlargement of our educational
facilities, the buildings now in
use are greatly in need of repairs.
Our heating and sanitary arrange
ments are antiquated. These things
concern the health Of every child
attending the school and we can
not longer overlook nor neglect
this vital matter.
We have always endeavored to
give the people good school with
the least possible expenditure of
money.
During the past five years we
have not only maintained and
continually made additions to the
teaching force of the schools, but
have also paid about 81 500 on
the debt contracted for the pur-
chase of the site on which the
white school is located. We re-
Gently took up the last of the
bonds outstanding against the
school. Hence the Board of Trus-
tees now owns this valuable prop
erty for school purposes without
ONE CENT of incumbrance.
Recognizing the necessity OF
improving our present buildings
and Of providing one or more new
buildings we have tried to devise
a plan by which this can be done
without putting upon the taxs
payers of the township any addi~
tional burdens. The last Legisla-
ture passed a bill authorizing
the township to vote on the ques-

Beard Of commissioners of Wayne
County shall appoint within twelve
mopths after the ratification of this
act The said election shall be ad-
vertised by the Board of Commits
sioners for thirty days prior to the
dag of election in one or more news
papers published N said township
and the said election shall be held
under the rules, regulations and di-
rections existing for the election of
members of the House of Repre-
sentatives."
In accordance with the provis-
ions of this act the County Com
missioners have ordered an cleo
ii n to be held on the 9th day of
April next.
AS will be noted from the above
quotation the act does not pro
vide for any increase whatever in
the present tax rate. We simply
ask that by vote, you give US
authority to take from the taxes
already levied and collected for
school purposes an amount suffi-
cient to pay the interest and to
provide sinking fund to pay the
principal at the maturity of the
bonds.
We do not believe that the ex-
peaditure of this money in any
other direction would aid SO much
in the development of our city
and we confidently appeal to ev-
cry one interested in the best
welfare of Gold boro to give US
their help and support in this
movement.
1t is our intention to establish
a primary school in the n rthern
part of the township, and if it is
desired by the citizens of the
community to establish a like
school in the Webbt own section.
These will be for very young
children who find it somewhat in
convenient to come the distance
now required. This will not in
the least affect the plans for the
improvement of the present build
ings and for increased accommo-
dation in the central part of the
town.
