The taking OF such risks ought to be pro-
hibited by law. and for the very good
reason that ability to thus gamble On the
life of chief of State is alike dangerous
to the subject and to the interests of the
State itself
We will suppose that group of An

be greatly promoted. The objection. which
careful to see that applicants have a
colorado "insurable interest" will not
hold. Ii is feasible, if not easy, for an
archy with a great. fell purpose in view,
to make preliminary arrangements which
would seem to endow its secret agent with
that ''insurable interest"
In the United States it would create
popular alarm if nothing more serious. If
our life insurance offices were to issue
policies on the life of an American Presi-
dent to anyone who might claim that his
death. while in office. would injure his
business or jeopardiZe his salary Every
body would fear that a premium had been
offered for the murder of our Chief Mag
istrate. 1t is to be hoped that the British
Parliament may realize that this practice
is opposed to public policy and put
stop to it.

ADJOURNMENT IN PORTO RIGA.
The First Legislature Considered an
object Lesson to the People.


Governor Allen. of Porto Rico. has re-
ported by cable to the State Department
that the first legislative session ended on
Friday night. Both branches adjourned
tremendously and with good feeling.
The session occupied sixty days. with
two or three meetings each day in the
past three weeks. Thirty eight bills and
resolutions were considered Among the
bills enacted was one providing for trial
by jury. An important tax law on prop
erty and for internal taxation, which, 1t
Is thought, will supply ample revenue for
the appropriation budget for the next rs
cal year and other important measures
were enacted
The session is considered as a great OBJ
ject lesson in civil government to the peo-
pie. and IL is confidently believed that the
knowledge of parliamentary procedure
and correct methods of legislation will
be useful
In connection with this despatch SEN
ator Foraker has made public the follow
ing extracts from letter, dated January
20. which he received from Governor
Allen.
You will be interested to know that we
are doing very we'll it seems to me. and
the people are advancing rapidly in their
comprehension of what a civil government
ali who come under its operations. All
things considered, we modestly feel that
a great deal has been accomplished in the
past few months. To bring a million peo
pie, for over 400 years under the Spanish
military rule. up through a general cleo
ton conducted by themselves to a fully
organized civil government. working in
diligently and tremendously has been NO
small task, but its Importance and ad-
vantages are being appreciated and is the
reward of those men who, despite many
discomforts and anxieties, have diligently
worked to that end. The Legislature VIII
adjourn on January 81 and will be able to
show a statute book started upon correct
lines and embodying conservative and wise
legislation. l fully believe.
You will be further interested to know
that we are well within our budget APP
propriations and have every expectation
of completing the fiscal year June 800
quite within our means.
I'VE have been annoyed from time to
time by sensational newspaper reports OF
the old cry of restitution and starvation
coming from various sources. The situa-
ton here does not warrant such state
ments.
There always has been and probably al
ways will be. poverty in the tropics. but,
from somewhat intimate and personal
acquaintance with every part Of the ISL
and, l am confident that conditions here
are very much improved. and that there
never were so many people employed and
at as good wages as at present and that
the general condition OF the masses was
never better, nor were they ever as con-
tented
1.-The future OF the island is most en-
coLraging. The crops are very abundant
and of excellent quality. and there is
certainty OF large public improvements
here, from outside capital, OF great benefit
to the island. and incidentally likely to
give further employment"

DRIVING OUT THE Beers.
Kitchener Clearing the Districts
Near Natal OF Supplies and Cattle.

PRETORIA. Feb. 1-(10:35 am.).-The
following statement was communicated to
the representatives of the press by the
military authorities this morning:
The enemy have left Bushveld on ae-
count OF fever and horse sickness and
have collected in the eastern districts be-
tween fatal and the Delagoa Bay Rail-
way, and having attacked isolated posts
and threatened an organized attack on
the eastern line. General Kitchener has
decided to drive them out and to clear the
country of supplies and cattle.
With this object In view the follow
ing columns moved on January %: Smith
Dorrien. from Wonderfontein; Campbell,
from Middlesbnrg: Anderson, from Eerste
nuty. from zuurfontein: Dartnell. from
the Springs, and Colville, from Greyling-
stadt.
THE columns will keep in touch with
each other and drive the enemy out.
French commands the southern and
Lytteiton the northern column. So far
little opposition has been encountered.
De Wet passed Thabu N'Chu with 5000
men. Our forces have been sent by train
to the Orange River.
Three parties of Colonial raiders are
at Knysna, Ladygray. and Calvinia and
have been receiving assistance from the
Dutch, but did not get any recruits

the path followed by the regiment in
which his ancestor. perhaps. CHANGED to
be. If this is to be done 1t should receive
immediate attention. In few years the
last survivor of Gettysburg will have
passed away; every year diminishes the
number of those who can speak of the
mighty struggle with the certainty OF
witnesses. The restoration of the
battle-ground, exactly as it was on the
day of the battle. would be a worthy task
for the Grand Army of the Republic, but
IL it cannot be made TO present the ap-
pearancc which it did then. it should be
left to the defacing. but at any rate ma
tural and not unkindly. touch of time.
One need only think of the inestimable
value of English historical monuments
to realize the Importance of preserving
our own. The traveller who alights at
Charing Cross station, in London, finds
a still remaining trace of the funeral
cortege of the Queen of Edward /, at
whose every stopping place cross was
erected. Every relic of the past in this
country will in future ages be as signii-
cant and as full of romance. to the mil
lions of America, as those of England
are to the English people. 1t is for us,
who live in the days when the Republic
is in the making, to see that yandal hands
do not destroy associations which will
hereafter be precious beyond telling.

A GUN CONTRACT CANCELLED.
Action In the Controversy Over
Wfre-WOund Ordnance.

The contract with the Brown Segmental
Tube Gun Company for fifty wire-wound
guns of FIVE and six inch calibre has been
cancelled on the recommendation OF Cen
eral Burlington, the Chief of Ord
nance. The departmental action in this
case has been taken after nearly two
years OF controversy between the Ord
nance Office and the gun makers
The contractors assert that they still
have a right to retain their contract on
grounds OF equity. This is the contract
which was made by Secretary Alger on
the accommodation OF General Miles. In
the course of the war with Spain five
inch gun. bull, according to the ideas of
the company, was tested at Sandy Hook.
The gun was fred 300 times before even
slight defect appeared. This defect how
ever. has been employed by the Chief of
Ordnance as the basis OF his present ac-
ton.
The contractors have built several ad-
ditionsl guns and it Is possible they will
be reimbursed for the outlay although,
OF course. this payment viii be only
small portion of the one million dollars
which is represented by the cancelled con-
tract.
The Army Ordnance Office advised the
contractors on January of this action.
In the mean time, however, arrangements
will be made for going on with the work
done on the ten-inch gun built by the
same firm, for the construction and trial
of which gun the War Department has al
lotted SAG 600

The Field of Gettysburg.

II is reported that somebody in author
ity at Gettysburg has seen fit to reforest
the battle-ground. part OF the original
woodland. in which there was fighting,
having been cut away to afford a proper
view OF the monuments. 1t is now thought
that trees should be planted on this de-
nuded land. SO as to have it just IS it
was on the memorable date of the battle.
This is all right, SO far as it goes But
1t is said that the trees selected for this
foresting operation are largely of species
which never before were made TO live
in Gettysburg. Among them are the sill
yer maple and the cottonwood, and also.
what is even worse, the japanese gingko
and English oak.
Somebody ought to interfere and stop
this thing, il the State officials are too
Indifferent to do it; but the trouble is.
that nobody has the requisite authority.
There is nothing. except local sentiment.
to prevent the demolishing of any land
mark or historical monument in this coun-
try. with a few exceptions. 1t was bad
enough that the original woodlands asso-
ciated with the Gettysburg battle should
have been cut down; but II is rather worse,
If anything to introduce trees whose like
never grew on that ground at all. 1t
seems as IL common sense and economy
would dictate the use of the trees which
are common in the vicinity of the battle
ground. II tradition is once establish
ed. in any country. IL is not easy to in
terfere with 1t. and il the battlefield of
Gettysburg is kept in good condition as
historical relic for about fifty years, it
is unlikely that anyone will desecrate
it after that time.
real regard for tradition would de-
mand the preservation OF this ground as

PORTO RICO IN THE SENATE.
Mr.. Foraker Presents n Cable De-
spatcb From Governor Allen.

Senator Foraker yesterday received a
cablegram from Governor Allen. at San
Juan, Porto Rico. announcing the ad-
journment of the Legislature after pass
ing many good bills. He sent the doeu-
ment to the desk and had it read.
What is the object of this?" asked Mr.
Jones of Arkansas. TT must not be for
gotten that all the work done by the Ex-
ecutive Council, Of Porto Rico, was not
SO good and will not bear praise"
THE idea is that the Legislature act
ualiy adjourned peacefully" said Mr..
Hale.
Il do not know OF anything wrong done
by the Executive Council" said Mr. For
aker. II suppose the Senator refers to
the resolution introduced by him asking
if this council had donated any franchises
or public lands to individuals"
Il know that this council has given
away public lands to railroad COM
pany." said Mr.. Jones. and the Senate
should know about It."
The cablegram was referred.
