Arrives ut st. Thomas ON her Pas
sage to the United States.

st. Thomas. d. w. l., February s.
the German imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern (Which left Kiel January 18th. and
touched at Gibraltar, January 23rd) ar
rived here this morning.
Admiral Count Won Baurissin, her
commander, was seen on board the
yacht. He said hat the HohenZollern
had had an unusually fine voyage
through the North sea, over the bay of
Biscay and the Atlantic. and that no in
cident of Importance occurred during
the trip.
the H~ohenzollern will coal here
Thursday and will leave next Saturday
for where she expects to ar
rive after a run of about two and one
half days.
At Bermuda the yacht will coal and
remain one day and a half. She will
then leave for New York and hopes to
make the run from Bermuda to tina
port in forty hours: or. she may await
fine weather at Bermuda.
Admiral o Baudissin explained that
the roundabout course taken by the
HohenZollern followed Emperor Will
liam's orders concerning the care of the
yacht. The emperor desired that she
arrive at New York in good order. The
admiral expressed pleasure at his ap-
preaching visit to the United States.

THE VERY TIME TO STOP HIGK
TAXES.

The republicans arc not willing to
tackle the present vile "robber" tariff.
The speaker Of the house opposes and
his gang with few exceptions will fol-
low the leader like so many dumb
driven cattle" Henderson Is a protec-
ZIONIST. and is simply blind to facts. He
knows just a well as democrats know
that the country needs revision, that
common sense and fairness demand 1t.
n that the course of himself and
crowd is i~ndefensible. There is no
sound reason why the present exorbit-
ant, unequal, unjust, and unconstitu-
tional tariff should not be overhauled
vigorously. The ablest supreme court
composed Of republicans with one ex-
ception only, declared that a tariff for
protection was robbery" They said il
was robbery" to levy a tax on any
thing for n purpose other than for
revenue" The bounty business should

pushing that bottle at them to feed
them by taxing the people at large.
They continue a tariff that raises a
great sum in excess of extravagant and
needless expenditures? Why shall sub
sides be continued, and monopolies be
favored and fostered to the oppdession
and injury of the millions Of tax pay
ers? But Speaker Henderson wants
them to continue, opposes the reduction
of the monster "robber." and leads his
party to final destruction we sincerely
hope. Nov is the accepted time "tc

equalize the tariff rates. There can be
no better time for this than when the

Senator Pritchard Makes Favorable
Committee Report on the Bill.

Washington, February Ex-senator
Pritchard from the committee on for
est reservations, today presented 4
written report on the bill appropriating
SIS. 1000. 900 for the creation of a national
forest reserve in the south Appalachian
region, Is authorized by the committee
several days ago.
The report urges the establishment of
the reserve for the protection Of the
timber and the conservation of the va
tiers Of the land embraced within Its Do
posed area, placing the damage done by
floods arising in that area in the year
1901 at Sis. 0O0. 900. It is claimed that the
land to be included can be purchased
for from 81 to So per acre.
One point made in support of the bill
Ia that in the southern Appalachian
mountains there Is a greater variety OF
hard wood trees and greater remnants
Of the primative forests than N any
other territory Of like size in the east
ern states.
The contention also is made that il
has the highest and largest mountains
east OF the Mississippi, the heaviest
rainfall on the continent except along
the northern Pacific coast, and that,
consequently, the washing away of the
soils Of the region can only be pre-
vented by keeping them covered with
forests.
The absence from this region Of lakes
and gravelly soils such as abound in the
northern states and the reserve to store
the rains and give uniformity. to the
flow of streams" the report continues,
renders the perpetuation of those
southern forests absolutely necessary
for the protection of both the soils and
the streams.

There is a general belief that d number
Of states have d~isfranchised 4 large
portion Of their citizens; that the COL

political quantity. and yet IL counts in
apportioning representation among the
states.
1T is the general belief that the
southern states have at least thirty-nye
representatives in the house and the
electoral college resting upon a fletl-
ious basis. If this be found to be true
in fact. and representation be reduced
accordingly. as the constitution i:nper-

Such a method would have none OF

HOBSON ANXIOUS TO BE RETIRED.
To Ask Congress for Special Legfs-
latiOn in His Behalf.

Washington, February SIT is ex-
pected an effort will be made to secure
legislative authorization for the retire.
ment from the naval service of Con-
structor Hobson. Captain Hobson is
now in Washington and is DESTROYS of
retiring. basing his application on the
bad state Of his eyes, resulting from
exposure in working on Spanish ships
after the late war.
The naval retiring board concluded
that his disability was not sufficient to
warrant the retirement under the ex-
sitting regulations and recourse must be
had to congress-. It is believed that the
navy department will approve of such
legislation if it's opinion is called for
by congress.
