Gov. Allen of Porto Rico. when asked
to make statement regarding the pc
tition said to be from workingmen of
Porto Rico. asking the president for
work and asserting that the inhabitants

and that any number of signatures could
be added to the petition in the Office
where it was written. I think it would
be comparatively easy to secure sigma

generously distributed.
The conditions described in the petit

HARD TIMES FOR TRANSVAAL.
Miner Believes Day Of Leniency is
Past-Hanging for the Breaking
of Oaths of Loyalty.

New York April 1O.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Lonoon says:
Reports of an outbreak of fresh re-
bellion in China are not confirmed and
are attributed to Earl Lis disconsolate
reflection that everything Will so wrong
since his advice has not been needed.
The more trustworthy dispatches ir'i-
cate a steady progress at Pekin in the
direction of a settlement by which the
court can speedily return to the capital.
Count Won WalderSee is keeping the COM
manders of the allied forces together,
and an agreement on all essential points
is already assured There seems to be
some hope that the Chinese empire is
taking to heart the lesson it has been
50 roughly taught, if one may judge
from the list of reforms proposed by
provincial viceroys and governors. The
scheme includes the education abroad of
princes and future high officials. as we'll
as the organization of the army on west
orn models and other innovations tend
ing in the direction of better security
and administrative efficiency. The in
demnity negotia tons are proceeding sat
isfactorily and a clear understanding is
reported to have been arrived at be-
tween England and Germany.
Mr. Kruger has been hoping the stu
alton in the far east would prove crisis
favorable to the Beers in the relations
OF the powers. His depression is caused
by the collapse of these false hopes.
The war in South Africa meanwhile
drags on with its usual checkered course.
Petersburg has been occupied by Gen.
Plumer without resistance, the Beers
retreatng northward and abandoning
little war material. The Dutch tao
tics of avoiding a conflict and of draw
ing their pursuers further along. so Oft
en- pursued, have been repeated.
The Boer resources of craft have not
yet been exhausted. for there is an Off
cial confirmation of the report that IS
British troopers Were surrounded and
captured near Aberdeen, Cape Colony
This is the first Poer success recorded
for several months and is proof that the
Euerrilas can do something more than
to retreat more rapidly than they can
be pursued.
Sir Alfred Miner has decided that the
time has gone by for treating the Cape
Colony rebels with leniency. They will
no longer be tried under the special
commission act passed by the legisla-
ture last year. but will be indicted under
common law and will be subject there
fore to all the penalties prescribed for
the crime of treason including capital
punishment. This official announcement
is an indication that the situation in
Cape Colony is not SO satisfactory as
the British military authorities would
like it to be.

was the sale of Juanita Costello and

The girls refused to recognize the sale

The Brazilian then swore out a war

squad of police was found necessary to
subdue the Russian. who drew re-

WE LEAD IN CHARACTER. .
British Writers Seeking for Cause of
American Superiority. a7

London, April 10.-The Times this
morning in an article on American en-.
cheering progress" deals with the hui
man factor and arrives at the conclu-
sion that the whole question of Ameri-
can superiority turns on character"
The American is successful, says the
writer. because he treats business as
a science and follows it with the enthu-
siasm of a scientific devotee, while Brit
ons, owing to overwhelming success In
the past, have thought themselves sd
cure and relaxed their vigilance.
"The Briton is educated to hundred
distractions, while in America there is
no leisure class of young men. No
doubt in American engineering we have
a rival threatening British industry Sc

change is made in our business meth

BALLOTlNG By MAIL.
New Jersey Central Trainmen Not
Rushing into Strike.

New York. April 10.There will be no
strike on the part of the New Jersey
Central employees for at least IS hours. If
strike is declared at all. This was
shown in brief inte rview last night. L..
Parker Titus, an official of the Brother
hood of Railway Conductors, connected
with the federated board of general adj
justment on the Central when asked
about a report that the federated board
would meet in Jersey City during the
night to canvass the votes of the men,,
said:
There will be no meeting tonight.
as neither Mr.. White nor myself can be
in attendance and it is necessary for
all five Of us to be there. All l can
say is that no strike will he ordered
to night or by tomorrow night 1t would
be impossible under our rules
1t was learned in confederation of
this statement that while the conductors
on the road had been voting. the col
lection of ballots had not been begun.
Some ballots had been taken among the
members of the other organfza tons, but
not enough to make a bulky parcel. No
one of these who had voted would talk
about the ballots to persons they did
not know: indeed none were inclined to
discuss differences with the company
or the possibility of a strike.
John V. Waite. employed by the Gem
trail, who represents the engineers or
ganization on the federated board, when
asked if there We're any possibility of a
strike. said:
There will be no meeting tonight.
Here l am just starting out on my day s
work. I will be busy all night"
An Easton. Pa, dispatch to the Her.
aid says that one of the strongest argu-
ments advanced there why a strike
should take place now is that the en-
ployes of the Central. excepting the con-
ductors, to whom concessions were made
| last January, have urged their case for
more than a year without avail and that
now the strength of the different broth
erhoods and orders of employees financial
~ and numerically assures the workmen
ultimate success.
Through advertisements in newspa-
| pers and by a thorough system Of can
| wasting the employees nave learned ap
| proximately how many competent engi
! neers, firemen and trainmen are out OF
positions and ready to fill the places Of
| strikers. 1t is said that the number OF
, skilful railway men who are unem
| ployed is very small.
| To substantiate this it is pointed ou
| that the present conditions of railways
| throughout the United States gives com
| petent men employment At the same
! time the various orders of railway mer
have been collecting money from theil
members until the fund is not only suf
| ficient to pay men who stop work, bu
| also to pay salaries to those who may
| be secured to supplant strikers.
| The meeting will take place in Jersey
; City or New York and the heads Of tn,
various orders will assist the federated
committee in reaching conclusion.
a strike is decided on the heads of tn,
orders will ratfy the action of the com
mittee.

A BOON TO MANKIND.
Electric Roads Will Solve the Quest;o,
of City Life.

New York. April 10.-Under the title
of The Trolley Age" Albert L. Johnson
has contributed an article to the cur
rent issue of the independent In part, he
says: 25
The transportation problem of the
present time may be stated thus: How
shall transportation systems carry peo-
pie and the commodities necessary for
their maintenance as expeditiously as
possible and at a minimum cost? The
steam railroads have endeavored to meet
conditions and the general trend of steam
railway rates have been lower and low
er every year.
Rates nevertheless are still too high.
The times and the people demand that
the charge must be lowered How is it
to be done? l say we must start afresh
from the ground up-discarding cum
bersome and expensive mode of operatio
now in use on the steam railways. We
must adopt the electric system in which
each individual car is supplied with it's
own motive p-wer ard can be run as often
as necessary with nothing to earn, be-
yond it's own cost of operation. IT'S

forth no man can tell. But to-day it

AS an example, on the line which 1 am
now building between Philadelphia and
New York. my roadbed will conform to
the highest standard in use by the fore
most steam railways with one exceptional
feature-I shall beat them to the extent
that I will not have single grade cross
in..
1T is true that will materially reduce
the existing rates of fare between New
York and Philadelphia-at the most will
charge so cents, one-fifth of the present
tariff, but at that rate I do not expect
to cripple the steam railways or to cut
into their normal traffic.
''The electric system will solve the
problem of overcrowding in our great
cities. 1t will move the laboring men

fulness of the congested tenement dis
