London Jan. 5--Alluding to the rela-

hausted by prolonged comparatively

strength to bear up against adversely.

Washington. Jan. 5.-For at least two
months the secret service people have
been at work to discover the makers of
a large number of small silver counter
felt coins. mostly quarters and halves,
which have been freely circulated in
New York city during the past two
years. Last night and today officials
Of the secret service of the treasury
department, under Chief Wilkes di

companions all Italians. The coins be

SHIPS CAPTAIN
ACTS AS SURGEON,
Sets Sailors Broken Leg in Storm
and Doctors Praise
His Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 19.-Captain Lonn
of the Norwegian steamer Spero. just in
from Banes. Cuba, reported a series of ex-
periences which made the trip one that he
will never forget. In addition to navigat-
ing the Spero through a series of the worst
hurricanes he ever encountered. he was
called upon to act as ships surgeon.
When the gale was at its height cries of
pain were heard coming from the hold.
Captain Lonn and several sailors went down
and found a seaman. Omen Johannsen. who
had fallen through one Of the hatchways.
His right leg was broken and he was SUI
fering great pain.
The vessel continued to pitch heavily and
1t was with difficulty that the injured man
was hoisted out of the hold and taken to
the Captains cabin. Here he was laid upon
table and Captain Lonn had begun the
task Of setting the broken limb. when a
lurch of the vessel threw Johannsen to the
floor. He was again placed upon the table
and the Captain succeeded in reducing the
fracture.
When the sDero arrived at Lewes. Del.
Johannsen was removed to the United
States Marine Hospital. where the sur
geons said the Captain had made as good
a job OF the broken leg as they could have
done themselves.

BELIEF BASED ON FIGURES.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, July 2o-Politicians and
business men agree that the Porto Ricans
have shown good business sense by prompt
ly accepting that feature of the Porto
Rican act authorizing free trade between
the island and the United States, which is
likely to give them great advantages over
their sister islands OF the West Indies. They
make parallel case with Hawaii on the
other side of the column and contend that

lie by the Treasury Bureau Of Statistics re-
gardirg the prosperity which Hawaii en-
joyed after the reciprocity treaty which adj
United the sugar OF those islands into the
United States free of duty shows the ex-
tent of Porto Rican wisdom.
These figures show that the sugar produc-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands has increased
over 1900 per cent under the free admis-
sion of their sugar to the markets of the
United States, while the other cane sugar
producing islands and countries have. dur
ing that time suffered great depression, and
in many cases heavy losses.
In 1876 the reciprocity treaty was made
between the United States and the Ha-
waiian Islands. Prior to that date the av.
erage production of sugar in the Islands
was but about 25,0Oo,eO3 pounds per annum.
In five years the production had trebIed; in
fifteen years it was ten times as much and
in twenty years twenty times as much as
before the treaty. Within less than ten
years after the ratification of the treaty
more than seQ.0c00O0 OF American capital
had been invested in the islands, and the
total value or the sugar production CT the
islands since the treaty is $3.50 COj.0.0.
The following table shows the production
of sugar in the Hawaiian Islands from
1875. the year preceding the reciprocity
treaty, to 1859:

Pretty Story Is Told of It's First
Use by White Men.

From the Family Herald.
How many of those who fully realize
the value OF quinine In these days are
familiar with the pretty story connected
with the drug?
In the year 1893 Donna Ana. the beautiful
wife of Don Louis Geronimo Fernandez de
Cabrera Bobadilla y Mendoza, fourth Count
of Chinchona, and Governor Of the Spanish
Province of Peru. lay sick and, It was
feared, dying of an intermittent fever In
her palace at Lima. Her physician, Juan
de Vega, was at his wits end Her hus-
band was in despair. when the Corregidor
OF Isoxa. neighborfng State, sent to the
former 4 small packet of powdered quirsine
bark which he knew the Indians prized
highly as q febrifuge.
The powder was administered to the
Countess. with the happy result that the
fever left her and a complete cure was ef-
fected.
Two years later. in 1870 the much-named
Count of Chinch0na and his wife returned
to Spain. and. as the Countess Ana brought
with her quantity of the healing bark,
the distinction Is claimed for her Of being
the first person to Introduce it into Europe.
Her physician. we are told, made a large
fortune bv selling it in Seville at 100 reals
tn. pound.
1t was this famous cure of the Countess
Chinchone that induced the great Swedish
botanist Linnaeus long afterwards. to re-
name the whole genus of qunine-y yielding
trees "c.linchona" in her honor

Increase in Imports.


The increase in commerce between the
Hawaiian Islands and the United States
which followed the free movement Of mer-
chandise between those islands and our
ports is also illustrated by the fact that the
exports to the Hawaiian Islands from the
United States prior to 1876 amounted to less
than s1,GG00OG annually. but rapidly in
creased until in 1900 they were about $14.-
000.0G0, and a recent report from the Col
lector of Customs at Honolulu estimates tho
figures for the present year at $40, 600 600.
The commerce of the islands Is. according
authority. larger per capita than that of any
other country in the world and nearly all
Of 1t with the United States and carried in
American vessels.
The fact that this enormous increase in
production and commerce and wealth OF
the Hawaiian Islands has followed the free
dom of trade with the United States estab-
lished by the reciprocity treaty of 1876 sug-
gests that the Porto Ricans are likely to
benefit by the same close trade relations
which they will have under the new law.
which they have asked President Mckinley
to put into operation on the 25th OF the
1900 miles from the Pacific Coast and 5000
miles from the great consuming centers of
the United States, while Porto Rico is but a
few hundred miles distant.
The sugar production OF Porto Rico Is
now double that of the Hawaiian Islands in
the year prior to the adoption of the reci-
procity agreement. while the tobacco, trop-
ical fruits and other productions Of Porto
Rico will also have the same advantages
of free admission to the markets Of the
