OFFICIAL SHAKE-UP
IN PORTO RICO
Gov. Hunt and Other Place
Holders Will Leave the
Island.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-A
general shake-up of the American off,
cials in PortoRico is announced. James
S. Harlan, of Chicago, who was ap-
pointed attorney general by President
Mckinley, has resigned, as has Au-
ditor John r. Garrison. 1t Is reported
that the commissioner of the interior,
w. H. Elliott, and w. F. Willoughby,
treasurer, will follow. Gov. Hunt is
to give up his post. Ill health is stat
ed as the reason for his action and it
is expected that Secretary HartseIl
will succeed him.
1t Is said at the White house that all
Of the officials who are leaving the
island have given most satisfactory
service, but that they have become
tired of the warm climate and the ex-
acting routine of their positions. Mr..
Harlan is expected to return to Chi
cago and resume the practice of law
in that city.
After recuperation Gov. Hunt will be
appointed to high judicial or diplomatic
position by President Roosevelt, who
highly esteems him for his arduous and
patriotic work In Porto Rico
The resignation of Auditor John R.
Garrison, which is now in President
Roosevelt's hands, Is profoundly regret
ted by all classes, as Mr.. Garrison has
been exceptionally valuable as auditor
and as a member of the executive coun-
ell. He has been dubbed "the watch
dog Of the Porto Rican treasury Mr..
Garrison will go to Washington in April
or May where, it Is said, he will be made
the head of the customs receipts bureau
of the United States treasury. He was
connected with the treasury department
for more than thirty years. He went
to Porto Rico in May, 1899, as auditor
under the military government.
Mr.. Garrison's successor, who has cab
led an acceptance to President Roose-
welt, is Henri Regis Post, a personal
friend of Mr.. Roosevelt. Rumor rates
him as several times a millionaire. He
is now cruising on his yacht in the West
Indies, having left San Juan week ago
to join his wife at Santa Cruz. He is

DORSEY WHIPS LAWYERS.
Overturns Adverse Committee Report
on His SUGAR Bounty Bill.

Representative John Dorsey, Demo-
crat, won out yesterday morning in a
hand to hand combat with the house
committee on judiciary and saved his
bill, designed once for all to settle the
beet sugar bounty question, from in
definite postponement, much to the dis
gust of the lawyers of the house.
DR.. DOrSeyS bill authorizes the beet
sugar bounty claimants to commence
suit against the state in the Ramsey
county district court for recovery of
the $4,000 voted them by the legisla-
ture and which the state auditor re-
fused to allow on a claim of unconsti-
tunality. The lawyers Of the house de-
cided that the Dorsey bill is unconsti-
tutional in that the state cannot be
sued, and brought in report for in
definite postponement.
DR.. Dorsey took issue with them on
the floor of the house. He said that
he had not been fairly treated by the
committee in that the chairman had
not notified him of a hearing on the
bill. Chairman Stevenson resented the
charge of unfairness and entered upon
a discussion of the merits of the beet
sugar bounty claim.
Representative Armstrong also went
after Dorsey and several other lawyer
members piled the Glencoe medic with
questions calculated to lose him in a
maze of legal technicalities The house
stood by Dorsey, though, and his bill
will be printed and go on general or
derS.

FRICTION OVER WILL OF
EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON
Trust Company Called Upon to Give
Condition of Estate.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 25.-W.
H. H. Miller, attorney for the widow
of ex-President Harrison, has made a
demand upon the Union Trust compa-
ny that it file a report of the condition
of the Harrison estate and out of this
have come rumors that there are sert-
Miller called upon Probate Commits
stoner Walker and asked if the Union
Trust company had ever filed a report.
When answered in the negative, he
asked that the company be immedi-
ately cited to appear and file a report
and the citation was issued at once.
This was several days ago, but the re-
port has not yet been filed. The Off
cials of the company say that the real
estate has nearly all been divided in
accordance with the will and the re-
port will show a condition satisfactory
to all the parties interested in it.
Some weeks ago Russell Harrison
filed suit for partition for certain
real estate, but the-complaint was so
drawn as to make it impossible to de-
ter1nine what property was included,
and today, when asked regarding the
matter, he declined to give the Ioca-
ton of the real estate to be divided.
He declared that the suit had been
brought in spirit of friendliness and
should not be construed to mean that
there is any friction among the heirs.
1t is thought that Mr.. Miller wants to
know the condition OF the estate be-
fore Mrs Harrison's reply is filed. 1t
is known that Russell Harrison and
Mrs. Harrison differ in their construc-
ton of certain parts Of the will and ii
is this difference that has led to the
suit now pending in the courts Mrs
Mckee and her brother are in accord

TOO MANY JUNKETS.
Pleasure Trips Interfere With Work
of legislature.


Today the house is due to sit down
on the indfscriminate junketing prac-
tice which has become almost a fad,
and which has several times interfered
with the work of the legislature.
Several committees and their guests
were inspecting state institutions yes
terday to the end that while there was
a quorum present, the count of noses
was so short that friends of pending
measures were afraid to let them go
to a vote, and the calendar was passed
over after one bill was sent through.
Representative w. A. Nolan had
taken cognizance of the situation i'm
mediately after roll call, and sent up
a resolution limiting the number Of
committees that may be absent at any
one time to one and that only with
the consent of the speaker. Members
accompanying junketing committees
must also secure the consent of the
speaker and formal excuse.
The necessity of the resolution was
painfully apparent, and it would un-
doubtedly have been passed but Min
nette's nose was out of joint because
of a notice Of debate given on one Of
his resolutions a few minutes earlier,
and he sent the proposition over one
day and got a small measure of re-
venge by serving notice of debate.

MITCHELL HEADS
A COAL BOYCOTT
Plan to Bring Maryland and
West Virginia Operators
Into Line.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
Of America, has abandoned all hope
of organizing the miners of Maryland
and West Virginia without outside as:
sistance that will bring such strong
pressure upon the operators that they
will be forced to unionize their own
mines in self-defense.
To that end movement was start
ed today in Chicago to protest against
the awarding of public contracts to
firms handling Maryland and West
Virginia coal, and this movement is
to spread all over the United States
wherever labor is organized. The
teamsters' unions have entered into a
compact with the miners to tie up the
output of the boycotted mines, and
they will refuse to deliver it on any
public contract.
The first move was made when Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor; Albert
Young, president of the Amalgamated
TeamsterS' association, and the larg-
est union labor committee ever col
lected in Chicago for such a purpose,
called on Mayor Harrison and filed
a IofmaI protest against the awarding
of city coal contracts to firms dealing
in the coal which is mined by non
union men.
At the meeting with the mayor the
labor committee declared that If con-
tracts for West Virginia or Maryland
coal shall be awarded, the teamsters
will refuse to deliver it, and a general
tie-up in Chicago will result
The mayor will turn over to Mayor
Young certified copies of all the bids
now in the hands OF the council COM
mittee tomorrow. These bids will be
forwarded to John Mitchell, who will
return them, marking the firms that
deal in the Objectionable coal. A sub
committee from the coal teamsters will
then confer with the mayor and the
council
