youth is fabby, undeveloped and possesseo

truthfulness, moral qualities which closely re-
fleet the Iooseness of his physical makeup. AT
first the American officers questioned the posi-
bity of moulding this putty sort of youth into
a thoroughbred soldier, hardened to exposure,
strong and with endurance to Withstand the
hardships of camp life or the march But in the

The movement to establish body of native
troons WAS set on foot soon after the Spanish
War by General Guy V. Henry, the first Amer
lean Military Governor of the island. He sug-
gested that two battalions be formed, and his
suggestion was supported by President Mckin-
lev General Henry argued that in of
future war the island of Porto Rico would be
especially exposed to attack by foreign power,
and should be prepared to defend land in
vasion Native troops would in such an emer-
gency he said be far superior to soldiery from
the United States. for the reason of their
auaintance with the island and their immunity
to tropic diseases.

REPLY SENT
TO COLOMBIA

Washington, Oct 29.-It was learn
ed yesterday that a prompt answer
had been made to the latest Colombian
note respecting the Panama canal
treaty which was transmitted to the
department Monday. It's nature was
not divulged, but the presumption IS
that it deals almost entirely with
Colombia's representations regarding
the sovereignty of the isthmus which
the Colombians feel have been sch
iously invaded by the acts of Com
mander Mclean and Admiral Casey in
preventing the movement of troops
across the railroad. This matter, as
before stated, is now the subject of
negotiations between the Colombian
government and Minister Hart at Bo-
gotta and an early adjustment is looked
for.
The state department is anxious that
a speedy settlement be reached in Or
der to facilitate the completion of the
Panama ranal treaty. Concha, the Co.
lombian minister, has received instruc-
tions empowering him to procede in
this matter, which has been retarded
only by the controversy which has
arisen regarding the transit of the
isthmus.

Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, lead
er of the social democracy movement
was at the office Of the secretary OF
state Yesterday raising objections be-
cause on the official ballots in many
counties of the state the words "of
America" are omitted fromo teh name
Social Democratic Party of America.
He was greatly excited and said he
was fearful ,nat the votes cast for the
ticket of the new party would not be
counted in the official footings Of the
election. He was in conference with
the assistant secretary of state and
with the printing clerk and his anxiety
relieved.
The cause of the trouble was the
mistake made by a number OF the
county clerks Of the state in emitting
the words in question. There was no
error made in the Office of the secre-
tary of state even though it was there
that Mr.. Berger registered his objec-
ton. Some time ago, when the nom1-
nation papers were filed, some county
clerks wanted to know as to the size
and general makeup of the offic1ai
ballot and the secretary of state
caused a sample ballot to he furnished
from his Office.
This was as the legislature provided
in every respect and the name of Mr..
Berger's party was given in, full. Some
county clerks thought the last two
words superfluous and cut them out.
Mr.. Berger received the assurance that
all votes cast for his party nominees
would be counted as cast even though
the long name of the organization be
abbreviated.

Terrific Speed for the Transmission
of Mail.
London, Oct 29.-The postmaster
general has sent an engineering eX-
pert to Italy to report on an electrical
mail carrying device invented by
Piscicelli Taeggi.
Taeggi has furnished a description
of his invention, which, he claims,
will in time do away with the carrying
of mail by train. The plan is to have
small light cars run on a small rail
way of steel wires. The wires are not
only the rails, but the conductors of
electricity, and the cars are run by
high power motors, capable Of develop
ing a speed Of 250 miles an hour. Two
wires are supported by poles at a con-
siderable height from the ground.
Automatic switches are arranged so
that the cars may be switched off to
branch lines. Of course a double track
is used, the cars running only one

way on each line. There is no chance
for collision, the inventor declares,
for hte cars will run at least three
miles apart 1t an accident happens
and one car stops, the next car is
automatically stopped long before it
can reach the wreck.
Interference with the cars by rob-
bers or others is prevented by what
the inventor calls the ring of death. .
On the poles few feet below the
wires is fitted ring connected with
the high potential wires and carrying
a current of electricity that would in
stantly kill a man in contract with it.
Added to this system OF carrying
the mail is a post box and collection
system. Post boxes are arranged on
poles in convenient places. Every
five minutes the collector" leaves the
central Office 1t is carriage similar
in size to those used for the lOng-dis-
lance carrying, and runs on wires
which are carried by the poles upon
which the mail boxes are fastened.
When it reaches a posting box it
stops, the box is automatically raised
to the top Of the pole, it's contents are
dsepoited in the carrying car, which
is automatically opened and closed,
and the car goes on it's way to the
central office, stopping at each mail
ing box. The posting box does another
service. When a letter is droped into
it, the stamp is cancelled and the
postmark with the name of the town,
the date and the hour is stamped
upon it.
The cost of this system, the inven-
tor claims, is very low, considering
that all the vast annual payments to
railroads would be stopped and an
immense saving would be effected in
clerk hire.

MARBLE VEINS OUTLINE THEM.
Shadowy Portraits of Roosevelt and
Mckinley in the Capitol.


Washington, Oct 29.-Portraits of
President Roosevelt and the late
President Mckinley have been dis
covered on the imitation marble walls
of statuary hall, in the capitol.
They were not ordered by Uncle
Sam and they will not be paid for.
They were painted into the walls by
Mr.. Allison, the artist, who painted
the big pillars in the pension Office in
imitation of marble and who decOrat-
ed the shafts with the now-famous
shadow drawings. The two pictures
just discovered are similar shadow
drawings. Both are excellent por-
traits, and, while it is difficult to dis
cover them at first, so skillfully are
they hidden, when once seen they
loom up lifelike in size, and can be
observed from every part of the old
hall of representatives, now adorned
by marble monuments to the nations
great men. The picture of Mckinley
is in profile and about 10 inches in
height. 1t is one of four panels inn
mediately above the statue of Roger
Williams on the western side of the
hall. The portrait of President Roose-
welt is on the south wall of the hall,
to the right of the entrance and just
back of the statue of Allen. 1t is a
full view and shows the president in
his khaki uniform as a colonel of
volunteer cavalry. 1t is about nine
inches in height and more complete
piece of work than the other. Every
line and shadow in both pictures Is
absolutely essential to make the
initiated marble perfect. The lines
of the faces are framed ty cracks in
the initiated stone, and every mark
serves double purpose.

GEN. LEE FORGIVEs.
Ancient Enmities Reconcied
asst

Last.
Richmond, Va, Oct. 29.-Ancient
enmities were reconciled when Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, former consul to
Havana, retired brigadier-general in
the United States army and once
major-general of the confederate
forces, graped the hands of United
States Senator Thomas S. Martin.
The two met at the horse show here.
Senator Martin hesitated moment,
then extended his hand. There was
likewise momentary hesitation on
the part of General Lee; then he
clasped and pressed it heartily.
Back of this simple incident is a
story that once shook the state from
center to circumference and aroused
angry passions scarcely cooled by the
passage of time. About 10 years ago
General Lee was candidate for a
seat i'll the United States senate. He
was, as he now is, the most popular
man in the state, and no one dreamed
that he could be beaten. But in order
to guard against any possibility of
such thing, the people instructed
their representatives in the legislature
to vote for him.
On the night of the democratic
caucus the name of General Lee was
presented, then that of Martin To
the CONSERVATION of the spectators,
Martin won by a, large majority. This
unlooked-for result aroused a storm
all over the state and the most bitter
charges were made against Martin
and his friends. Since that night
Senator Martin and General Lee have
been estranged. General Lee has had
many honors bestowed upon him, but
he has never forgotten how the
dearest wish of his heart was wrested
from him at the moment when 1t
seemed certain that it would be
gratified
