ISLAND NEEDS FREE TRADE
Revenues From Sale of Coffee Have Fallen off-s50o, GOO Spent for Education and $4o0,ooo
 for Roads.

Chicago, October S0.-The visit to the United States of the Porto Riean delega- ton of business men. who spent today in Chicago, has a far greater significance than has appeared hitherto. Instead of coming to inspect the commsrcial meth ods of this country and incidentally to go on a little Junketting trip to the Pan American Exposition, the Porto Ricans have come primarily to pave the way for the admission of their island. first, as an organized territory; then as a state.
 The authority for this statement Is Federico Degetau, the present comnis- sioner from that island to the United States
 The delegation spent today in Chicago and left tonight for St. Louis.
 Later visit will be paid to Washing ton. where an interview with President Roosevelt will be held.
 The party includes three of the native members of Porto Rico's native council and one member of the chamber of deputies. in addition to Commissioner Degetau.
 Want Free Trade.
 Free trade with the United States and Europe was asked for by members of the Porto Rican delegation to the United States at banquet given by the board of trade in their honor at the auditorium annex tonight. The sentiments voiced by the islanders met with the approval of the business men present at the dinner and cheers greeted their reference to the desire for an open market.
 Dr. J. Q. Barbosa was the speaker whe delivered the appeal for the revocation of the impost upon Porto Rican tariffs When the Porto Rican tariff bill was passed" he said, 'it was with the under standing that 1t would remain in effect until we were able to become self-sup porting.
 Resources of Island.
 During the last year we have raised | $20O0,0O0 for local government expenses | Of this sum $500000 has been spent fol I educational purposes and s400 900 for good roads. The people of the island want ths l American people to know that they car | help themselves. They want them tc know that we are true to the American flag and as good American citizens as there are in Chicago.
 "One word as to the business of Porto Rico. When we had a market for ouI coffee in Europe we received s22, GOO, GOO g year. Now that we have none we take in but $9,000,000. Give us an opportunity to market our coffee-our American cof- fee-and our money will be circulating ir the United States

TEXT OF BULLER'S
 FAMOUS DISPATCH
TELLS GENERAL WHITE TO DEs- TROY Ills AMMUNITION AND MAKE BEST TERMS HE GAN WITH THE RoERs.

London, October 31.-The National Re- view gives the essential terms of the "Spatch-Cocledi dispatch of Sir Redvers Butler to General Sir George White when in command of the beleaguered British garrison at Ladysmith. According to this authority the message ran as follows:
 T have been. repulsed. You will burn your ciphers and destroy all your ammu- milton. You will then make the best terms you can with the Boers after have for tified myself on the Tugela."
 General Butler, in the speech which led to his dismissal from the command of the first army corps, challenges the Ma tional Review to publish the full dispatch and explain how 1t was obtained. declar- ing that he would then publish certified copy of the original and allow the public to judge the matter.
 The editor of the National Review now explains that he got the dispatch from a civilian who was at Ladysmith at the time, who said there was nothing secret about it. He asserts that he understands that both General Butler and General White have officially asked permission to publish the authorized version and he cannot conceive why permission has been witnneld.
 The same informant, giving an alleged explanation of the fact that there was nc cooperation between General Butler and General White during the battle of Co., lenso, says General White was informed that the attack was fixed for December IT but General Butler commenced the at- tack on December 15 to the dismay of General White who had not completed his preparations.

Cincinnati, october 3o.-Sixteen bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church met here today in their biennial session, which will continue for week. The forenoon was occupied in receptions, greetings and opening addresses.
 The union of the Methodists North and South will be considered.
 The preliminary steps looking toward this end have been taken in Oklahoma Territory, where the North and South Methodists have united in building a Methodist college. This step was taken by Bishop Hamilton and will come up be- fore the board of bishops for ratiflca- ton.
 Bishop McCabe, who proposed thirty new bishops for foreign fields, says: 'The Roman Catholic church has twenty-eight bishops in China. We have one for all Eastern Asia. Again, the Church of Eng land has twenty-one bishops in South Africa, while we have only one."

it was announced that the great opera company would be here. and since that time modistes and milliners have been kept busy arranging their most fetching productions for the smart set that they might do honor to the occasion.
 Has Prepared for It.
 Birmingham society Is not as boastfuf or self-conscious as Memphis or Nash vile or Atlanta, ard so in the most mod est and unpretentious way its members have attended the lectures on Lohengrin and given an order here or there for new gown, or wrap, and scarcely any thing has been said of the event socially. although such elaborate preparations were going on all the while, and so 1t was that the scene presented last night was as brilliant and beautiful as many another in the great metropolitan cities of the world, where royalty, bedecked in Paquin gowns and diamond tiara, lend interest and charm to the occasion.
 There were quite number of decollete gowns worn, and. of course. full evening dress is the correct thing at the grand opera houses of the largest cities. But there were also many semi-evening and very elaborate reception gowns worn. The gentlemen in the parQuet and dress circle were almost all in full evening suit. There were silk and null gowns in the latest princess effects and gowns of dark effects relieved by touches of con- brilIiance to the scene. The opera wraps were unusually smart, and were, in many instances the latest Parisian designs.
 Pretty Modes of Hair Dress.
 The coiffures-that special art which gives style and eclat to the entire appear ance-was as diversified as the present styles. A number wore the hair low in the neck with a rosebud entwined, affect ing the very latest decree of Parisian fashion. while others cannot forsake the more becoming style of dressing the hair high over the head with a rose or airy pompon perched saucily at the side.
 The debutantes, too, were there-that beautiful young coterie of girls = and somehow debutantes are always pretty that will give an added zest to the gaiety of pleasure of the coming season Bir- minghams most charming young ma irons were there also, contributing to a picture which will not fade from the memory.
 The gowns of Mime. Sembrich were un- usually beautiful, the one worn in the | bridal scene being a marvellous combina- | ton of color and perfect dream of the | modiste's art. It was white silk elabo- | rately embroidered in brilliants tur- | quoises and gold. with gilt pendants. The | court train was of handsomest brocaded satin lined with turquoise blue silk.
