NEW CENTURY DUTIES.
Address. by Edward Everett Hale mt
OhiO State University.

COLUMBUS. o., June 19.-Edward Ev-
erett Hale delivered the annual address at
the Ohio State University commencement
to-day. His subject was 1.-THE Duties Of
the New Century" Among other things,
he said: Twill the twentieth century see
the American Indian. the negro. the Asiatic
and white races living as one nation be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific? How
shall the black and white races be brought
in accord and harmony? AS the children
of God. If we choose to elect this duty, we
have the power 10 effect this union OF the
races. and our Anglo-Saxon blood will as
sert itself in a union Of one people, with a
love for freedom. The accomplishment OF
this ideal requires permanent peace among
the nations of the world. The ffty-onc
nations OF the world must agree 10 submit
all their disputes To one supreme court, or
the follies of the last sixteen hundred years
will be continued. Educated people give
too little attention TO the two hundred
years of peace early in the Christian era,
for 10 that we owe the civilization of to-
day. 1t is the duty and opportunity before
the young people OF to-day 10 prlng ABOUT
universal peace"

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.

The coming Fourth OF July will la spe-
cial significance IN Porto Rico, for. in addi-
ton 20 its celebration as the great Amer
lean holiday, it will mark the convening of
a special session Of the Legislature to de-
clare entire free trade between the island
and the United States. The so-called For
aker act. the title of which is "An act tenn
porarily to provide revenues and a civil
government for Porto Rico, and for other
purposes passed April u. 1900. besides Gre
ating certain offices and providing a form
of government. provided that merchandise
coming into the United States from Porto
Rico and coming into Porto Rico from the
United States should pay 10 per cent. of the
regular Dingley tariff duties on like mer-
chandise imported from foreign countries.
The law provided that Whenever the Leg
islative Assembly of Porto Rico shall put
into operation a system of local taxation TO
pay the expenses of its government all
tariff duties on merchandise passing be-
tween the two countries shall cease. and
all articles shall be entered at the several
ports free of duty. and in no event shall
any QUtlCS bt COllCCNcu dLlCl u "
This provision limited the existence of
tariff duties between Porto Rico and the
United States to March /. 1902. and placed
1t in the power of the Porto Rican Legisla-
ture to end them sooner by providing a sys-
tenn of local revenue adequate for the ex-
penses of the insular government. This
has been done. The Legislature of Porto
Rico is peculiarly constituted. The upper
branch. called the Executive Council, con-
sists of the secretary, attorney general.
treasurer. auditor. commissioner of the in
terror, commissioner of education and five
native Porto Ricans. all of whom are APP
pointed by the President. The lower branch
is composed of thirty-five members elected
by the people. This body cannot impose
any tariff duties, but 1t may impose local
taxes, license fees. franchise fees, etc. 1t
is by this means that a system of insular
taxation has been provided which, after
careful examination. Governor Allen says
will produce sufficient revenues for the
needs of the government. the support of
public schools. the prosecution of public
improvements, etc. Therefore, he has de-
cided to convene the Legislature in extra
session on the 4th of July for the sole pur-
pose of passing a resolution declaratory of
the facts and p~roclaiming absolute free
trade between the island and the United
States. That date, therefore. will witness
a new Declaration of independence by Por-
to Rico. neutrality-suspicious. from tariff
duties of any form on with the
United States and entrance into the full
enjoyment of free trade with the mother
country. The event will be one of CONNER
cial importance to the island, and will
doubtless contribute materially to the
prosperity of the people.

PROTEST FROM INDIANS.
Do Not Want Their Reserva-
tions Opened to Settlement.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Former Con-
gresham Springer. who is counsel for the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians in
their suit TO enjoin the secretary OF the
interior from opening up TO settlement the
reservations in Oklahoma, to-day flied with
the President a memorial praying that he
exercise his discretion under the law and
withhold the issuance of his proclamation
for six months after the final allotments
10 the Indians are made. and thus give
Congress an opportunity to repeal the pres
ent law. The memorial says that Lone
Wolf. one of the chiefs of the kiowcs, IS
a Baptist minister and that others III the
Indians are Christians. and prays that the
President viii not send these men back 10
tell the members OF their tribe that a
Christian country would defraud them OF
their lands.
Former Governor w. A. Richard. assist
ant commissioner of the General Land Of
flee. reports there is no evidence OF min
erals in the reservation soon TO be opened.
The water supply. he says, Is good. He says
everything will be ready for the opening.
Aug. 6. Mr.. Richards found many people
already waiting outside the lands. and says
the general sentiment fayors opening by
means of drawing lots rather than the old
way of making a rush for them. He says
the drawing system probably will be
adopted.
Governor Jenkins, of Oklahoma. who also
is here. estimated to-day that 100.0 600 peo-
pie will seek the lands, although there can
be only $500 entries. No plan for The OPEN
ing has yet been decided upon.

A Southern man who controls a manu-
featuring town Of COCO people in South
Carolina makes an argument in favor of a
ship subsidy bill. lie says that such a SUBJ
sidy would secure for US the trade of South
America, from which we are debarred be-
cause we have no direct communication
Herewith. If the avowed purpose of the
bill had been TO establish lines 10 South
American ports. the defense of the measure
would have been much easier. but the
idea which went abroad was that the sub
sidized ships were to be used in European
trade, in competition with fleets that can
do very much more business than there is
TO do. A bill TO subsidize ships to South
American ports would probably be met
with less opposition than the much
amended Senate bill.

New York papers frequently protest
against the strict examination made by
the revenue inspectors on the arrival of
ships from Europe as most outrageous
Nobody's word is taken, and trunks are
opened and searched. it is claimed, in a
very ungentlemanly manner. The Phila-
delphia Press gives a number of cases
where women declared that they had no
dutiable goods. but thousands of dollars
worth were discovered. One woman con-
fessed to $3.50 worth. but $40, 900 worth
was found. The trouble seems to be that
all the outrage has it's origin in an at
tempt to swindle the government out of
thousands of dollars worth of duties.
