Puerto Rico ell mas profundo des-
precio.
va ell alcalde de San Juan, un
protegidO de Mr.. Hunt, ha convO-
cado a varios elementos sociales de
aquella ciudad para organizar esos
festejOs.
En- la convocatoria vemos que
aparecen nomb bres de federales pro-
minentes. Atribuimos este d una
cortesfa del alcalde, Y NADIA mas;
pues nos resistimos Greer que ha-
va UN. SOLO FEDERAL que Sc presto a
coadyuvar q esa comedia rid1cula
Y bochornOsa para ell pals. Hay
que tener energfa; hay que tener
entereza; hay que tener dignldad.
No debemos ser de peor condi-
cion que el perrO, que ante ell cas-
tigo del amo Sc alicia entristecido,
y solo lame La manO que 10 acarl-
cia. va sabemos que hay hOmbres
que son de peor condicion que ell
perro; pero esos hombres no deben
llamarse federales; esos hombres
no deben decir que pertenecen al
partido que, hoy como aver y co
mo manana, ha rechazado ell
ultraje y ha despreciado a los des-
potas de la colonia.
No Sc olga que con actos pala-
tinos, de adulacion Y servilismo,
echamos por terra toda una la
Dor de dignidad y patriotismo.
Los que SO sientan lacayos; los
que lleven en- ell alma diluida una
alpargata, que vayan al muelle a
dar la bienvenida al gobernador
Hunt.
Pero los que Sc sientan hom-
bres dignos; los que lleven en- el
alma La hermosa luz del PATRIOTS
mo, que Sc queden en- sus casas
lamentando la eterna desventUra
Ia de esta terra, que ha dado hi
JOS tan services que Sc inclinan a
besar la mano que les azota.

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Decided Improvement in Tone of Market-Deangs Fair
ly Active and in Most Cases at Good Advances,
Notably in Standard Railway Issues.

NEW YORK. July 17.-The stock mar
ket opened fairly animated and strong all
around. Amalgamated Copper gained =
and at a net advance Of per cent. there
were large transactions. Canadian Pa
cihc was the only active stock which did
not gain. st. Paul gained g. New York
Central and Atchison q. Missouri Pa
cif1c 1 per cent. The list averaged y
higher. Among the specialties General
Electric gained per cent and Air Brake
lost 2h. Illinois Central gained per
cent on nominal transactions. After ten
? minutes the market was slightly in
fluenced by pressure on copper.
II a. m.--The stock market has made
steady upward progress since the initial
dealings. The street sentiment is ma
terially improved. and the impression
Is growing that the recent severe ltQui-
dation has exhausted Itself. and the
character of the buying is much superior
to that of the selling. New York Cen
trail was strong. advancing nearly 2 per
cent. st. Paul had gained is per cent.
Advances Of 1 to IL per cent have been
recorded by Missouri Pacific. Wabash
preferred. Canadian Pacific, Union Pa
cifc, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio,
Reading. Atchison. Chicago. and Alton.
and Louisville and Nashville Illinois
Central scored a gain of per cent.

thing of sensation in the opening OF
Amalgamated Copper above last night S
close The stock was quickly sold down

points, although efforts are still being
made to hold the price down. United
States Steel common was higher and the
preferred advanced 1ss. Sugar was a
little more than steady, Notwithstanding
the advance in the price Of the com

The local Traction group was strong

ing IL per cent. The speculation re-
acted after the first hour on realizing
sales. but the undertone remains de-
eidedly strong. Government bonds un-
changed. Railroad bonds frmer.
Noon-London houses had some bal
ances to sell at the opening. They
bought stocks which reacted and on rail-
lies traded both ways. The business Of
the day was less than one-third as large
as yesterday, and 1t left London seller
on balance of something under 10000
shares. The general market has held
well and has a good undertone. 1t is

MAY HAVE VIOLATED
CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Wares Action in Removing Pen
sion Surgeons for Politics.

Commissioner Ware Is believed to
have violated the civil service act in re-
moving a member of pension examin-
ing board for political reasons only.
Mr. Ware says the surgeons on the
examining boards are not subject 10
civil service rules, but the Civil Service
commissioners do not share his opinion.
In compliance with an executive order
that, whenever possible. pension exam
ming boards shall be made up of two
Republicans and one Democrat. Com
missioner Ware removed Dr. T. J. Me
Loughlin from the Jersey City, n. j..
examining board. DR.. Mclaughlin is a
Democrat. There were two Democrats on
the board and in a letter sent to DR..
Mclaughlin, Commissioner Ware ex-
planned that the New Jersey doctor must
leave the board because OF his politics.
In spite OF the fact that his services
had been satisfactory.
Commissioner Ware maintains that the
tenure Of Office of the pension exami-
ners is at his discretion. He prepared
the following statement concerning the
removal of DR.. Mclaughlin.
Boards Of medical examiners are not
under civil service rules; they are just
simply hired men for the time, subject
to dismissal at the pleasure of the bu-
reau.
In Jersey City the board was com
posed OF two Democrats and one Repub-
lican. Complaints were made, and Sen
ator Kean requested the substitution OF
DR.. James A. Eton In place of Or. Nc
Loughlin. Thereupon a formal letter
was sent to DR.. Mclaughlin asking for
his resignation and thanking him for his
past services. The usual form for such
letters was used. These medical boards
are kept bipartisan; that is 10 say.
two Republicans and one Democrat
Many changes are going on from time
to time because complaints are fire.
quently made against one or another of
the boards. but In all their mutations
they are kept bipartisan. It was the
verbal order OF President Mckinley.
made in 1899, that the boards should be
bipartisan"
Commissioner Proctor said this morn
ing that pension examiners formerly
took examinations. but do not now OBJ
tain their positions by competition The
civil service rules state that persons
shall not be removed from competitive
positions" without the fling OF formal
charges. Such provision is not made
for removal of persons who do not take
examinations.
Although II is presumed that Com
missioner Ware has authority to re-
move examiners without giving any
reason, Commissioner Proctor said this
morning that 1t is doubtful whether the
Commissioner OF Pensions can remove
such persons for political reasons.
Mr.. Proctor said he did not know
whether the removal Of an examiner to
make the political complexion of a
board comply with an executive order
can be said TO be for political rea-
sons
