Natives a Disappearing Race

OPINIONS OF MEN AT MOHoNK LAKE
Chinese Labor and Restriction of the
Suffrage Two of the Alleged
Necessities.

Mohonk Lake, n. Y, Oct. 25.-At
the conference at the Mohonk Indian
conference yesterday the Rev. DIR.
Alexander Twombly, who has been a
resident of Hawaii for some time, ad-
dressed the conference on the present
that conditions there We're dark and
depressing. The times are hard, Ow-
ing to unwise and demagogic action of
the local legislature, dominated by the
home rule party. Crime, drunkenness,
idleness and other vices were on the
increase. He attributed most of the
evils existing 10 the practically un-
limited suffrage conferred upon the
people.

Complains of the Carpet Baggers.

The worst elements in Hawaii, he
declared, were the low down United
Statesans, carpet Daggers, adventur-
ers and other scum from the states
who had drifted there in recent years.
Some of these men had obtained fed
eral appointments in the Judiciary and
other offices, and had brought shame
and scandal upon the administration
of law and justice. Added to this ele-
ment was the deserters from ships,
professional criminals, and many
ne'er-do-wells from the states who had
come there since annexation. but who
We're now voters. The dominance of
elemenSS like these in the politics and
legislation of the islands constituted
one of the grAvest perils of the situa-
ton, said Mr. Twombly

Jones, of Fulton, w. Va, rendered a
magnificent selection on the horse
fiddle, accompanied by Mr.. Buck
Devries on the Jews harp. Miss Anna

Mr.. Will Weber was also not found

difficult athletic feats.
At 11.30 the party started for home
and enjoyed one of the most beauti-
full moonlight drives that was ever ex-
perienced on the crest of the Allie
ghenies.

A LARGE DAT YIELD.
$50 Bushels Grown on Two and a Quarter
Acres.

$50 Bushels Grown on Two and "a Quarter
Acres.
Probably the largest yield OF oats
in Maryland, and possibly in the
world, was harvested on little piece
of ground containing two and a-quar-
ter acres in the town of Accident,
Garrett county, last week. The crop
belonged to DIR. w. Ravenscroft.
When the grain was threshed
the machine indicated a yield of one
hundred and eighty-four bushels but
by weight it was found to be two
hundred and thirty bushels or an
average of 1902 bushels to the acre.
The seed was sown at the usual time.
In preparing the ground no unusual
means were employed to enrich it.
This record is phenomenal and is
another argument favorable to the
great agricultural possibilities of
Garrett county.

TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT
GOLDEN RULE JONES BEFORE THE
CHICAGO PEACE SOCIETY.
He Says the President, as a Man, Is
Greater than the Government He
Represents-WhyH He Thinks So.

CHICAGO. Dec. H.-"'Theodore Roosevelt,
as a man, Is greater than the government
he represents. While the government of
the United States was unable to restore
peace in the anthracite region. Roosevelt,
not as President, but as man, suggested
a rational way to settle the trouble. The
man triumphed and the problem was
solved"
Thus spoke Samuel NJ. Golden Rule)
Jones, mayor of Toledo, before the Chicago
Peace Society to-day. He sought to show
that resort to arms was futile. that war
was inexcusable and that killing in battle
was murder. Mayor Jones declared, how
ever, that he was an optimist, and in
spite of recent wars he said the world was
better of than it was one hundred years
ago and was continually improving. That
brought him to the late coal strike in
Pennsylvania and caused the allusion to
the President.
Mayor Jones criticised Major General
Young, who, at a banquet in Cleveland
Saturday night, spoke of the necessity of
force to maintain the supremacy of the Ma
tion's commerce. mo one will accuse me
| would not raise a boy to go into the
army or navy to support commerce Of

The Rev. Francis j. Barry, chancellor
of the Catholic archdiocese, of Chicago,

SCHOOLS in PORTO RICO
REPORT OF THE INSULAR COMMIS-
SIONER OF EDUCATION.
Great Increase During the Year in
Number of Teachers, Number of
Schools and Number Of Pupils.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of education for
Porto Rico, Samuel McCune Lindsay, says
that the poorest schools there are as good
as and in some respects better than the
poorest of the same grade in very many
parts of the United States, although the
output of the elementary schools cannot
be compared with the best city schools of
the same grade in the States. An Ameri-
can free public school now exists in every
municipality in Porto Rico.
The school year closed last June with
S4 schools open. 1898 pupils enrolled and
923 teachers employed. an increase of 19
per cent. in the number of schools, q per
cent. in enrolment and 20 per cent. in num-
Der of teachers over the previous year. The
high-water mark during the year in the
enrolment was in the ordinary public
schools, 59,096, to which should be added
2767 pupils enrolled in the high, normal
and special schools, giving a grand total Of
81, $685. or 19 per cent. of the total popula-
ton of school age and over 6 per cent. of
the total population of the island.
The report says that these figures show
that under American civil government the
educational advantages offered free to the
masses of the people as compared with the
maximum facilities provided by the Spanish
government have nearly doubled.

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. H.-After eight
experiments. conducted with the greatest
secrecy, Marconi announces that he has
solved the problem of wireless transoceanic
communication and has successfully trans
mitted wireless messages from the shores
of Canada to the coast of England. The
formal announcement of this achievement
was made by the inventor himself to-day,
when he stated that the wireless messages
had been successfully transmitted and for
warded from the governor general or can
ada to King Edward VII of Great Britain
and to the King of Italy. DR.. George TX.
Parkin, principal of Upper Canada College,
trustee of Rhodes scholarships, was present
when one of the successful tests was made
Prior TO December, 1901, the greatest dis
tance covered by wireless telegraphy
scarcely exceeded 100 miles. Early in that
year Marconi visited Newfoundland and
from Signal hill began experiments with
Cornwall, and on Dec. II and IL of that
year faint signals of the letter IS, repeat
ed several times, were caught by ear only,
with the aid of telephones. Later on, Mar
conf, on board of the steamship Philadel-
phia, bound for America, succeeded In es-
tablishing communication with Cornwall,
a distance of 2,100 miles. Transoceanic
messages also were received on board the
Italian warship Carlo Alberto while the
vessel lay at anchor in Sydney harbor on
Oct. 81 and since then Marconi has been
perfecting the apparatus at Table Head.
he met with innumerable difficulties there,
but at last has succeeded in sending
transoceanic wireless message from Canada
to Cornwall, a distance of 900 miles.

OIL VESSEL DESTROYED
BIG SHIP BURNS OFF THE COAST OF

Her Identity and the Fate Of Her

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Dec. H.-It is be-

about twenty miles outside of Boston har-
Dor. A life saving crew from West Glou-
cester made a strong effort to reach her,
but stiff southeast gale drove them back
when they were still ten miles away from
the burning ship. About 1O:9O o'clock to-
night two Boston fishermen came into port
and reported that they passed within two
miles of the burning vessel, but did not
attempt to ascertain her identity. The crew
of one of them which passed to the lee
ward reported smelling burning oil and
stated that the vessel was a very large
one. They were unable to say, however,
whether she was a steamer or a sailing
vessel, but they thought the former These
