WAGES IN FORMOSA.
The Highest Pay for Skilled Labor
Does Not Come Up to one
Dollar a Day.

The people of Formosa have just
become up to date enough to have
railroad of their own, and a de-
tailed report of its construction has
been forwarded to the stockholders,
many of whom are Frenchmen and
Englishmen, says a London paper.
The rails are English; the locomo-
tives are English and American; the
bridge works and girders are Ameri-
can, and the rolling stock is native
built on American trucks. The labor
employed was Formosan and Japan
csc, but the work was done under the
direction of French, English and
American engineers. The rate of
wages paid per day to the machinists
and laborers furnish an interesting
contrast between the value put upon
work in the occident and orient. The
Jap, on an average received one-third
more than the Formosan, and the day
was of ten hours. Here is the sched-
ule of the highest rates paid: Car
penters, 81 cents; sawyers, Ga cents;
masons and plasterers, so cents;
roofers, IS cents; coolies, 81 cents;
workmen on scaffolding, SO cents;
navvies, AZ cents; painters, 6S cents;
blacksmiths, 70 cents.

gu1ar unaninity Of belief on the repub-
lican side to the effect that the president
has clearly transcribed his powers under
the constitution.
Senator Lodge, who cannot be accused
Of personal or partizan feeling on the
subject, admitted that this was so. Sen
ator Spooner, after reading that section
of the constitution which empowers the
president to appoint ambassadors to for
eign courts, made the same admission.
Other republican senators coincided
with Lodge and Spooner. They held that
Mr.. Reid and his secretaries, General
Wilson and his aides and Admiral Wat
son and his aides had no official standing.
The appointees do not represent the re-
public. They cannot be the personal rep
resentative Of the president, because the
president has no authority to delegate
representation to anybody. If their real
status should become known to the Eng
lish authorities their prestige might take
tumble which would leave them In q
| most embarrassing position.
Presumptiyely, Mr.. Reid represents the
people Of the United: States, but, in fact,
| his position is nothing more or less than
! that Of distinguished. sightseer, who has
| been named by the president 10 dtteuu tue
coronation. He has no official standing
and can have none until the senate con
firms his appointment. General Wilson
will 90 to London merely as distin-
| euished army officer and Admiral Watson
| as brave and resolute sailor, who holds
a big place in the profession of arms.
The president could improve the posi-
| ton of his ambassadors by requesting the
senate to confirm their appointments, bu
nobody in Washington believes that n
will do anything of the sort, because it j:
quite certain that If the appointments
were sent to the senate they would eithel
| be held up indefinitely or rejected. Tn
president does not regard the attitude
| the republican senators with satisfaction
He believes that they should have stoot
by the administration, right or wrong, ant
upheld his power to appoint the specla
| ambassadors and constitute them tn
official representatives OF the Unitet
States.
That some republicans at least fee
deeply on this subject was disclosed whel
| Senator Allison explained that he visite'
| the state department and demanded from
Secretary Hay an explanation as t.
whether the secretary contemplated usin'
public funds at his disposal to pay an
part of the. expenses of the embassy. Sec
| rotary Hay assured him that no fund
would be drawn upon to pay any part 0
the expenses. Il.

Quertier, Captain Thirion, started on her
mission of mercy she had tc pass through
clouds of burning cinders at the risk of
catching fire to reach the terror-stricken
people ashore. But she succeeded in
bringing to this port 1855 people, mainly
former residents of the village of LIE
Precheur. This was on Saturday last.
Since then the steamer as the result OF
other daring trips has succeeded in bring
ing many other persons to Fort de France.
On Sunday she rescued 923 persons. and
piloted the French cruiser Suchet and the
Danish cruiser Valkyrien, who took on
board 1000.
The Pouyer-Q uertier has distributed to
the sufferers large quantities of biscuits,
milk, wine and cheese. The specie in the
public treasury at St. Pierre is still
buried under layer Of lava about six to
eight meters thick.
The path of the volcanic torrent which
swept over st. Pierre is marked out in
strange manner. The vicinity of the shore
where vessels anchored was swept by
whirlwind of volcanic gas, which ripped,
tore and shattered everything in its pass
age, but left few traces of cinders be-
hind. On the other hand, the fort. center
and adjoining parts Of st. Pierre. are
buried under a thick layer OF clnders,
which consumed everything beneath It.

THEY'LL MAKE
BUTTER, TOO
Packers Preparing to Manu-

Fight on Grout Law VIII Be
Pushed to the Last
Extremity.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. 49,.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 13.-Local repre-
sentatives of the Armour Packing COM
who are the principal manufacturers of
butterine, are preparing to make repris-
ais upon the dairymen for the passage of
the Grout bill by entering into direct
competition with them in their own field.
1t is expected the enforcement Of the new
law will cause the price of butter to ad-
vance and the packers intend to reap the
profits. -.
Already preparations are being made In
the local plants to go into the manufac-
ture of butter an extensive scale. With
their enormous capital they can do bust
ness on large scale, and while paying
the producers more for their milk and
cream than the smaller creamery concerns
can afford, they can sell cheaper and still
make a good margin.
They declare that many Of the largest
creameries in the country do practically
nothing but gather up cheap, tale butter,
| work fresh milk or cream with it, give 1t
the same kind of coloring that is now
given butterne, after which 1t is placed
| on the market as fresh creamery but
| ter" While the Grout law practically
| puts prohi bitive tax on the sale of col
ored butterine, it does not interfere great.
ly with the sale of butter put through
these processes. The packers have much
greater facilities for this kind of business
than the comparatively small and scat
tered dairies.
The packers have not decided to quiz
| their fight the Grout law. They main
tain it is class legislation and declare
they intend to test it's constitutionality
in the United States supreme court. w
D. Miles, manager of the Armour Packing
company, and J. H. Rich, manager of tn
Swift Packing company. avow this is tn
packers purpose regarding the proposei
manufacture of butter by packers. Tn,
same men said: THE packers have al
ways handled a good deal of butter and
will not be very expensive or requir
much time to make changes which will en-
able them to handle much larger guam
titles .7-
