The following extract from New York
paper will give Porto Ricans and Ameri.
cans In this island an idea of the arduous
task which c0ntronts the President in his
deslren to meet the wants and the needs Of
The various colonial and home interests in
the tariff and reciprocity legislation. From
all over the states and the colonies dslega.
tions come every day to enlist tue sympathy
and Efforts OF the President. All interests
are SO widely divergent that the President
and his Cabinet are necessarily compelled
to be Solons if they can solve all the prob.
lens which confront them without givip1
|offense to any of the interests:
"Tae reciprocity discussion is leading to
an amusing display OF motives by some
favored interests. New that there seems
to be prospect of changes in the tariff
schedule, all sorts Of people are making
special pilgrlmages to Washington, to pour
their hopes and fears into the ear of the
President. A few days ago q committee Of
Porto Rlcans blandly expressed satisfaction
with the sugar situation IN their island and
with the fact that their sugar now has q
stable market in the United States. ALI
that was needed to make their happiness
complete was a small discriminating duty
on Brazilian coffee. With this advantage.
Porto Rican coffee producers would easily
be able to sell their coffee in the American,
market, and to defy Brasilian competition.
Somewhat in the same strain was the
story OF the Hawaiian sugar planters who
called at the White House Yesterday.
They believe fully in the principle Of
reciprocity, but do not think it swise' to
extend its operation to Cuba. 1t is interest.
ing to note that these Hauaiians are actuated
to some extent by an altruistic motive
quite different from that which influenced
the selfish Porto Rican committee. 1t il
trae that reciprocity with Cuba would be
injurious to the sugar monopoly in Hawaii,
since the tariff constitutes . tremendous
bonus to groscers in the latter island, but
stress was also laid on the needs of the
American beet-grOwer, would who be ruined
should Cuban sugar be admitted on more
favorable terms. While the Bawaiians
were thus strong for restrictive legislation
sugar, they took different stand
on the question Of labor, pleading for the
relaxation of the Chinese exclusion acts, in
order that they might get their employees
on lower terms. THIS request would hardly
accord with the views OF those whe will
meet at San Francisco next week to ask for
new and more rigid Legislation on i'm
migration"

NURSES OF ST. LUKE'S
EIGHT YOUNG WOMEN ARE GRAD
UATED LAST NIGHT.

The eighth annual graduating eXer-
cises of the nurses of St. Lulze's hospital
was held last evening in the guild rooms
of Christ church. The eight young wom-
en- who received diplomas occupied seats
on the platform and looked exceeding y
attractive in their nurses uniform Of
blue and white-striped Bingham with
white aprons and caps. The only sug-
gestion of the 'sweet girl graduate"
about the self-poised and alert-looking
nurses was the bunch of lilies Of the
valley that each one carried. On the
platform with the nurses were DR.. c.
D. Andrews, Of Christ church; Archdea-
con c. E. Haupt, Rev. Theodore Sedg-
wick, DR. Charles L. Green and Mrs. J.
B. Hoxsie, president of the board Of man
ayers of st. Luke's hosp tai
The commencement exercises were ex-
ceedingly simple. Mr.. Sedgwick said the
prayer the choir OF St. Paups church
sang and then DR. Greene delivered a
brief address. He said that the very
name est Lukes hospital showed how
far back extended the custom Of caring
for the sick During the life Of Christ
on earth such work received a new impe-
tus and hospitals have multiplied ever
since Caring for the sick was applied
Christianity. There could be no higher
mission on earth.
DR.. Greene stated that the words Of
the high priest addressed to Christ on
the cross: He saved others, Himself He
cannot save" had a deeper significance
than most people thought, for he who
would save others cannot save himself
he must sacrifice himself.
Rev c. E. Haupt presented the diplo-
mas to the following graduates; Miss
Clarke, BraInerd, Mimi; Miss Weddell,
Duluth, Mimi; Miss Monk, Toronto,

St. PAUL' 8 STREET LAMPS
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS RE-
PORT SHOWS CITY HAS
5,479
MORE GAS THAN ELECTRICITY
Plain Gas Burners Are Being Rap
idly Superseded by the Incan-
descent Type and by
Arc Lights

According to the semi report Of
the board Of public works, which will
be completed in few days, bearing on
the city's street lighting service, St. Paul
is now credited with 5,479 street lamps
Like all cities with an abundance Of
suburban territory, there is naturally a
preponderance of gasoline and gas lamps,
the former, however, having been mate
rally reduced over last year by what IS
known as tnCandescent gasoline lights.
These, by reason Of their increased can
die power, take the place of two of the
plain lamps.
OF gasoline lamps St Paul is credited
with 2,50S, 240 Of which are the mean
descent style; gas lamps, 2551, and cleo
trct lamps 400. The latter are all Of
the arc pattern
In the distribution of these lights the
Seventh ward has been favored In re-
spect to gas more than any other ward
in the city Here there are to be found
9l6 lamps that use gas as an ilIuminant
the majority of the burners being Of the
incandescent style. The other q of the
lamps in the ward use gasoline. Of
electric lights there are none in the en-
tire ward.
In the distribution Of electric lights Of
the arc pattern, the Fourth ward leads,
it having SO. OF gasoline there are only
8, while the number Of gas lamps is given
at Is.
In the Eighth Tenth and Eleventh
wards gasoline is in the lead the large
territory to be covered necessitating Its
use because OF it's cheapness. In the
Eighth ward there are 404 gas lamps. $50
gasoline lamps, 1853 incandescent gasoline
lamps and Sc arc lights. In
the Tenth ward So gas lamps and 343 gas
oline lamps. In the Eleventh ward there
are 206 gas lamps and 219 gasoline lamps
In the latter two wards it will be seen
that electricity finds no place as an IL
luminant. In the remainder Of the wards
the distribution of the lights is as fol-
lows:
First, gas 1885, gasoline 3O5. incandes-
cent gasoline SO and arc IS; Second, gas
145, gasoline 220. incan descent gasoline
81 and arc 40; Third, gas IS, gasoline 4
and arc Is; Sixth, gas 154, gasoline 293,
incandescent gasoline 80 and arc 81; Fifth,
gas 1859, gasoline Fl, incandescent gasoline
q and arc Is; Ninth, gas ia, gasoline 165,
incandescent gasoline Sc and arc As.
The figures furnished show that gas Is
in the lead as an illuminant, but If the
intentions of some of the menbers Of the
will see the city in possession Of its own
lighting plant, and in that event cleo
tricity viii be in the lead
The city in placing it's last contract
for gasoline lamps specified coo incandes-
cent lamps and only a part of these have
been installed When placed, each Of
them will cause the removal Of two Of
the plain lights.

overruled the objection. 1t was at thl2
point Of the proceedings that Mrs. SchoJt
commenced to answer the questions put
to her by Mr.. O'NeW in a
way that clearly indicated she
not want to prosecute the case.
Mr.. ONeiu. on noticing tlas, asked
her IL she had changed her mind about

the county attorney that when she be-
gan to prosecute the case she did not
think It would be liable to end IN the
