the governor was urged to remain.
The speakers said Mr.. Tafts presence
was necessary to preserve order. for
tho prevention OF political disruption
and to insure the maintenance of the
present policy. The speakers paid
personal tribute to the governor the
crowd cheering its approval. In re-
plying TO the address Gov. Taft said
II would not be decided at present
whether he leave the islands or re-
main until next August. He assured
the people that II he did leave the
present policy of the American gov
ernmont would suffer no change, IL
being not question OF individual
but of national policy. After the
speeches the thousands Of natives
who filed the grounds Of the palace
broke into cheer for the governor.

GEN. GRANTS DEBTS ALL PAID
Used the Profit Of Memoirs for Pay.
ment Of ObIlaations.

General Frederick ID. Grant, as
executor under the will of his moth.
er, Julia Dent Grant, has taken pro-
ceedings in the surrogate's court at
New York, to have 1t adjudged that
no property passing by the will Is
subject to the collateral inheritance
tax. General Grant says his mother
did not have any real estate In that
state, and the only personal prop
erty she possessed there consists of
432 shares of the United States
Steam Company and S1,64S interest
bearing scrip of no market value,
and which cannot be sold. General
Grant says that more than 10 years
ago she gave to him the royalties
from the memoirs written by Gen
eral u. S. Grant in trust to pay notes
and obligations of her husband and
to divide the surplus among her
children. General f. ID. Grant has
performed all the conditions of his
father and has divided the surplus,
excepting the proceeds of the book,
which have accumulated to an ag-
gregate of 100000 The sum he in
vested for the benefciaries in bonds
of foreign corporations which he Is
holding in trust, and has deposited
In New York in his own name. He
says no portion Of these bonds con-
stitute any part of her estate, and
therefore should not be taxed under
the laws of this state.

FEAR CHANGE IN POLICY.
Figures Show That Our Dealings
With Mexico Have Nearly
Trebled In Ten Years.

The public discussion OF a possible
change in the standard of currency
In Mexico adds interest to state

bureau Of atatiAics ra- nrding the
trade relations between the United
States and that country. with no
rart of the world has the commerce
of the United States grown more
rapidly in recent years than with
Mexico. Exports to Mexico from the
United States, which amounted to
$4,000 900 In 1891, will be over $40,-
100000 in 1902, and imports into the
United States from Mexico, which
were $2S,000,000 In 1891, will be fully
S41,000000 in 1902. Mexico is the
ono country with which our imports
and exports balance. To Canada we
sell twice as much as the value of
our purchases from It, Our imports
from the Central American countries
arc so per cent more than our ex-
ports to those countries. From the
West Indies our imports are nearly
twice as great In value as our ex-
ports to them. From South Amer
lea our imports IRE nearly three times
rs great as the value of our exports
to them, and from Asia our imports
are more than double our exports to
that part Of the world. To Europe
we export nearly three times as
much as we import from that Cont.
!. Mt. The most important OF our eS.
po Is to Mexico are manufacturers Of
iron and steel. machinery, unmanu-
c.ured cotton, lumber. manufacture
ed wood manufactures of cotton and
gunpowder. Our imports from Mex
leo are chiefly textile grasses. especi.
ally sisal, coffee hides, cattle. lead,
copper and tobacco, and in addition
to these there are large quantities Of
silver in ore and considerable gold
which are not included in the figures
of imports of merchandise.

The Roai Thing Now the Invcntion Of .
|. Genius in the west.
Each fishing year sees new inven-
tions to aid the angler. some sports
manlike and some unsportsmanlike.
They are Of all shapes, sizes and ma
terials and the effectiveness OF nine
tenths OF them Ia nil. Occasionally
genius hits upon something really val
| liable and by the next season II is es-
tablished as q standard.
AS a general thing, It may be said,
rubber or celluloid or papier-mache
limitations Of living ceratures designed
to lure the fish are OF no value. IL is to
be doubted whether a dozen bass have
been taken in the United States with
rubber frogs. though the latter have
been manufactured for some years.
This Is true also Of rubber helgra-
mites, celluloid field mice and such.
The false minnow is almost always
valueless and the dark green papier.
mache crawfish is a delusion.

garnished with hooks which have
proved to be fairly good.
or the sportmanship OF attacking
bass with lures which carry from two
to five gangs of hooks not much can
be said. a fish which comes anywhere
within sis inches Of one Of them is
apt to be caught by the head, or the
tail, or somewhere.
In Milwaukee n genius named King
has devised a process for picking
live mlnnows. He gets them in bushels
and soaks them in his preparation.

color and are as tough as leather.
He puts them up in squat glass bot.

sells them at lower rate than is paid
for live minnows at the fishing resorts.
Some anglers object to them because

| a little while, anyhow. Indeed. II the
| strongest club be fastened and sunk
or cast in cold water 1t will be dead
| inside Of five minutes, and from that
time until 1t is taken from the barbs

| tinues to fish with dead lure
The Milwaukee man, of course.
makes secret Of his process. but a
chemist ought to be able to detect 1t
without trouble. When this is done
there will be no reason why an angler
| should not put up his bait in the fall
and keep 1t over until spring, taking
the water in June supplied fully with
minnows in bottles, frogs in cans, craw-
fish in boxes and helgramites and dra-
gonfiies laid away in layers.
These things will prove a great con-
venience, as 1t is often difficult to get
| frogs or minnows at the resorts, and
the inexperienced man who goes out to
catch them for himself is apt to have
his labor for his reward.-New York
