Chicago, Nov. 6.-Cattle-About 1895
were marketed here the first half of the
week. compared with 1852 the same
time last week. Receipts today We're es-
timated at $1,000. Trade was late in
starting today. but after the buyers got
down to business there was very good
demand for the better class of cattle,
sales of which were made at steady
prices. but undesirable offerings were
slow and weak, with sales largely 10
cents lower.
Hogs-About $4,000 were marketed
here the first half of the week against
99.42S the same time last week. Occa-
sionally there was rally in prices and
such reaction occurred this morning,
sales being largely 6 cents per hundred
higher altho receipts We're in the neigh

usual.

PORTO RIcANs, CLAIMS.
Claims for Their Coffee Presented tc
the President.

INC CrcSsOoUSs
Washington, Nov. Gust before
President Roosevelt left for New York
Monday he received a delegation from
the Porto Rican chamber OF commerce,
which has visited various cities in this
country. The delegates desire some in
structions on the Importation of coffee
so as to protect that industry in their
island. AS Porto Rico is now part of
the United States the coffee growers
claim they are entitled to some con-
sideration under the protective tariff,
the same as any other home industry.
While in the data submitted to the
president no rate OF duty was named,
it is thought by the members of the
delegation that a rate of Ave cents per
pound will be necessary.
The president talked with the Porto
Ricans for fifteen minutes, and told
them that their wants would be care
fully investigated, and that the inter-
ests of the island would be as care
fully considered as those of any state.
The situation was explained by Thomas
Blasni of Ponce. one OF the largest cof-
fee planters on the island.
1.-The Porto Rican coffee is the best
in the world" he said. This can be
proved by the prices we received for
1T in Europe before the war. Porto
Rican coffee is comparatively unknown
in this country. There is no protection
for it. Brazilian coffee, for instance,
can be imported into the United States
and sold for half the price demanded
by Porto Rican coffee. Further than
this, dealers who import the Brazilian
coffee into the United States can ship
1T to Porto Rico and then ship 1t back
to the United States and sell it for less
than we can the superior Porto Rican
coffee.
Before the war nearly the whole
Porto Rican coffee crop went to Eur
opean markets. 1t was most valuable.
The year prior to the great hurricane
the crop realized s13.000,o0o. In that
terrible storm many plantations We're
ruined and the machinery destroyed.
This year the crop is nearly half as
large as the normal production. Next
year 1t may be three quarters as large.
Since the acquisition Of Porto Rico by
the United States the European mar
kets are practically closed to US thru
the provisions of the Dingley tariff act.
We are now dependent on the United
States for consumption Of our coffee.
TN Porto Rico the people viii not
use Brazilian coffee. If a tariff of five
cents is established the Brazilian coffee
will still quote for less than will that
from Porto Rico, but we think that the
Porto Rican article will have more of
a chance, and. once introduced, will.
despite the difference in price. soon be-
come more popular on account Of its
superior quqality.'

RURAL MAIL SERVICE.
The Conditions to Be Improved by
Classifying the Country Service.


Washington, Nov. General interest
attaches to the announcement made
yesterday that the rural free delivery
system is to be placed in the classified
service. This was determined upon by
President Roosevelt soon after he sue
ceeded to the presidency, and he has
been comforting on the matter during
the past week with the postmaster gem
eral and members OF the civil service
commission. Rural free delivery is one
of the few branches of the government
service not subject to civil service rules.
and it is destined to be an important
department of the postal service.
Strenuous objections are expected
from spoilsmen over the action of the
authorities in this connection, but it is
known that senators and representa-
tives in congress who have controlled
the rural free delivery patronage have
been particularly anxious that the SER
vice should be classified. The details Of
the classification have not yet been de-
termined, but will be as soon as posi-
BILE There Will be difficulty in classify
ing special agents and inspectors and
the executive force In Washington. The
mat NV" Apply w OSASA cNA CeioS
in the postoffice department can by eX-
ecutive order be made to applicable to
these employees. The difficulty with the
rural carriers. who in a sense have con-
fidential relations with the patrons on
the rural free delivery route, IS in
handling money orders and executing
other commissions for them. Unless the
carrier has the confidence of the patron
the latter will not be able to do BUSH
ness with the freedom that is essential
to the successful operation OF the rural
free delivery service. Therefore objec-
ton is made to providing that carriers
shall be appointed in this rural service
as they are in the city delivery.
The suggestion has been made and
will probably be adopted that appli-
cants for appointment on rural routes
shall live near them and be acquainted
in the neighborhood. This will require
the appointment of local boards. The
details OF the classification of the rural
service are TO be worked out by Post
Master General Smith and Civil Service
Commissioner Foulke. When these Off
Gals have completed their task ard
filed their recommendations with the
president he will issue an order placing
the rural free delivery system in the
classified service.

NEBRASKA FAIR PLANS.
The State Will Be Well Represented
at st. Louis.

! at st. Louis.
| Lincoln, Neb., Nov 6.-Nebraska will
be represented, and well represented, al
the st. Louis worlds fair If Governor
Savage has his way. and it is believed
he WILL The legislature at its last SEES
sion having failed to make an appropri-
alton, 1t is Governor Savage's plan to
borrow the necessary funds with the
understanding that the next Legislature
will reimburse the Ioaners. Speaking of
the matter Governor Savage said:
Il can not consent to Nebraska being
unrepresented at the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition at ST. Louis in 1908.
Nebraska is part OF the territory pur-
chased from France in 1903, and 1t
would reflect on our pride, our enter
prise and our patriotism should we fail
to join with our sister states in promot-
ing this great undertaking. The last
legislature having failed to make an ap-
plopriation for an exhibit, and it being
impossible to secure an appropriation
before most of the money required
should be expended. / have decided to
appeal to the pride and patriotism Of
citizens of this state with view to Sc
curing necessary funds. My plan is to
appoint commission of five to be COM
posed Of citizens whose patriotism and
loyalty are unquestioned, who shall
serve without compensation and who
shall have charge OF the exhibit and
provide the funds required to complete
and maintain 1t. In my biennial mes
sage to the legislature shall ask that
money be appropriated to reimburse
those who have advanced funds for this
purpose. An immense amount of mon
ey will be invested in this enterprise
aside from the amount invested by indi-
vidual exhibitors and by the different
states, which insures an exposition of
mammoth proportions and one likely to
attract visitors from all parts Of the
world. 1t is founded on a broader and
more modern plan than was the Column
bian, and in a general sense, to Me-
braskans at least, it rises above that
one In Importance. Nebraska is the
garden spot OF the territory purchased
at that time, and being yet young
state and rich in natural resources, af-
fording opportunities for the profitable
investment of capital to be found no.
where else on this continent, it can en-
ter as an exhibitor with assurance of
ample reward. A creditable exhibit will
enable US to advertise our resources.
which will give the public better I'M
Outstanding Of opportunities afforded
and be the means of attracting money
and population to the state.

HEIRS TO VAST FORTUNE.
Two Waterlooans Who May Come Into
Possession of Million.

POSSESSION OF a MlIiions
Waterloo, Nov. elf the expectations
are realized which some Waterlooans
are entitled to entertain, they will some
day come into possession of vast fort

partly located in this country and part
ly in Germany
The prospective heirs are Joseph
Raphael, of 1112 jefferson street and j.
F. Lattner, gentleman in the employ
of the Daily Reporter. The rights OF
each are derived by descent from a
common ancestor, a woman whose
maiden name was Springer and who
married man named Lesher.
This ancestress of Waterloo descends
ants came to Pennsylvania in the
eighteenth century with two brothers.
They were frugal and Industrious and
in course of time had acquired a little
competence, a part of their possessions
being tract of 700 acres, then lying
near the city of Philadelphia, but now
being included in it and covered by

accumulated and returned to their ma
tive land. The sister, however, formed
an attachment here and was married to
a man named Lesher. They had num-
Der of sons and daughters and one of
the latter was married to Colonel
Baker, a revolutionary soldier Of con-
siderable prominence.
To this Colonel Baker was committed
the management of the property which
Mrs. Lesher and heD husband had been
managing after the departure Of the
Springer brothers. BY Colonel Baker
the ZOO acre tract was leased for per-
iod of 90 years. For many years the
rentals were collected by Baker, but af-
ter his death matters became somewhat
confused, other members or the famii.
had become scattered and there was no
definite arrangement for the dissribu-
ton of the proceeds.
The leases. however. had been in
trusted by Baker to certain Phllade-
phia banks, which continued to collect
the rentals up to the expiration Of the
most substantial institutions in years
ago.
The sum thus accumulated in rents
and interest upon the same now
amounts to ABOUT $l0O,0O0,0Oo in cold,
