WILL IMPORT CHINESE.
South American Mineowners Expect to
Override Popular Prejudice.

South American Mineowners Expect to
Override Popular Prejudice.
London, May 19.-The importation
of Chinese labor into South Africa was
decided upon in principal some time
ago, but no definite plans have yet been
found regarding the number to be i'm
ported net the conditions to govern the
importation. ..
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and
the big firms of the Rand are in agree
ment that no other solution of the labor
difficulty is possible. /. At pres ent half
the stamps at the mine are idle because
only $4,000 Kafirs are procurable,
when $50, 900 men are required. As
consequence, the conditions at johann
nesburg daily growing worse and
business is slack. White lahore
hocked there at the close of the war,
employment, and discomfort is rife.
This suits the Rand magnates, who
are 10th to accept the role responsible
ty for introducing yellow labor, and
hope that the prevailing paralysis of
trade will soon lead to popular de-
mand for the importation of even the
hated Chinese" so that the mines
may be set working at their full capac-
ity, with consequent revival of busi-
ness depending thereon. Up to the
present, however, the trading popula-
tion of South Africa is bitterly opposed
to the importation of Chinese.

by American.
Washington, May 2O.-The United
States supreme court today, in the case
of the Republic of Colombia VS.. The
Cauca company, modified a decree of
the circuit court of appeals for the
Fourth circuit. The case involved a
controversy as to claim on the part of
the company against the Colombian
gov rnment on account of a contract for
a railroad under an award made to one
Cherry in 1890. The courts of the
United States secured juris fiction
through the fact that the company was
incorpora ed in West Virginia.
The courts below recognized the full
claim Of the company, including an
item of $145 900 to Cherry on account
of the transfer of his charter, and, of
$29, 900 to one of the arbitrators in the
case. The opinion given today dis
allows there two claims, but recognizes
the claim of the company ior compen-
sation for rolling stock, for salaries for
it's officers and for travelling expenses,
the total allowance bsing $193, ,204.

heaviest sheep and catt loss in the
history of Montana, the damage of

LEAVES THE PARK
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAS STARTED
ON JOURNEY NORTH.
Executive Has Lost All Appearance of
Being Tired Rest i'm Yosemite Park
Did Wonders for Him-Made the Trip
Out On Stage in Ten Hours - Was a
Record Breaker.

Berenda. CAL, May 10. President
Roosevelt broke all road records for
Yosemite park travel yesterday when
his coach came from Yosemite to Ray
mond, where his train awaited him,
in ten hours of actual travel. The dig
tance is SO miles.
The president passed his last night in
camp at Bridal Veil Falls, few miles
from the postoffice at Yosemite. He
slept soundly, and when he awoke in
the morning declared he had never felt
better in his life. His looks bore out
his words. He had lost all appearance
of being tired, and his eyes were bright.
The members OF his party who had
passed Saturday afternoon and Sunday
at Yosemite. joined the president at
the falls. Here he bid good. bye to his
guides, Leidig and Leonard, and mount
ed to his seat on the coach beside the
driver. The morning was cool and
clear, and the dust was not as bother
some as on the trip into the valley.
No incident occurred to mar the
pleasure of the drive, and the coaches
rolled into Wawona shortly before IL
" OAOChs A4CI0 WAS tak6u,
and at 1920 the trip to Raymond was
begun. The driver of the presidents
coach was on his mettle, and he put
his horses to their best PAGES. When
Awahnee was reached the party alight-
ed and light refreshments were served.
The run from Awahnee to Raymond
was the dustiest of the trip, and the
president and his travelling companions
were badly in need of bath when
they reached their train.
An escort of cavalry from Fort Wood,
which is situated at Wawona, accom-
panied the president to Raymond
When Berenda was reached the presi-
dent found large crowd gathered to
greet him. A special train from Fres-
no brought members of the chamber of
commerce and their friends, and they
warmly greeted the president as he ap-
peared on the rear platform of his car.
He made a-brief address, thanking the
people for coming to see him.

STREET CAR TAKES FIRE.
Painting Women Trampled Upon and One
Man Badly Hurt,


New York, May 21.-In wild rush
of frightened passengers TO escape from
a burning street car near Cypress Hills,
Long Island, Michael Murphy, of ia
maica, was pushed through a window
and so badly cut by the glass that his
condition is critical.
The car was on its way to Jamaica
when flash of fame shot from the
trucks and the motorman brought the
car to a stop. Before the passengers
were aware of the danger, fire worked
through the floor and caught the trim
ming of the seats. The 25 passengers
jumped to their feet and started toward
the rear door. Two women fell in a
faint on the floor, but the crowd was
too intent on saving themselves to paw
any attention to them. 1t was in the
jam at the door that Murphy was
crushed against the window with such
force that the glass broke and he was
shot out onto the ground. As he fell
fragments OF glass cut his hands and
ia e in dozen places, and a ragged
edge caught his foot The weight of
his falling body sent the sharp edges
through his clothing and severed an
artery in his ankle. Two policemen
hel led the crowd out of the cars. Muir
ply was sent to hospital.

Congo Free State Abuses.


New York, May 19.-After six years.
missionary work along Kassai river, in
the. Congo free state, Rev. William
Morrison, of the American Presbyterian
mission. returned today on the Cunard
line. Mr.. Morrison. whose story of
the, abuses that the natives sof the

has attracted some attention in London,
says he will furnish to the state depart

Mr.. Morrison left Luebo early in April.
On hearing his story of abuses, the
society for the protection of the Aborig-
inee, in London, took up the matter,

know by investigation are embodied in
my report to Lord Lansdowne, which 1

Caraboas Has Rain, Lands Overflow, Lo-
Gusts and Smallpox Came.
Washington, May 20. - The bureau
of insular affairs of the war depart
ment has received the annual report of
Governor Gonzaga, of the province of
Cagayan, P. l., for the year 1902. It
says in part:
"The province Of Cagayan, situated
in the extreme northern part of the
island of Luzon, has continued in a
peaceful and tranquil condition since
the establishment there of civil gov
ernment, which was accomplished with
out the least disturbance or occasion of
disorder in September, 1901. The
most complete peace has reigned.
prosperity has been prevented by
the mortality of Caraboas and other
diseases of cattle and horses. This was
followed by unexpected rising of the
rivers, which overfowed land planted
with corn. Then came the smallpox
and the scourge of locusts, and the
cholera. which, while it has not
wrought much havoc, has greatly un-
settled the minds of the people.
tsThe dire calamities mentioned, to-
gether with the depression in tobacco,
which is the principal product of the
soil, placed the inhabitants of the to-
bacco- raising pueblos of the province in
most deploraDle condition.
''All of the pueblos of the province
should be given American teachers,
and there should be established institu-
tions of higher learning in the island,
of agriculture, arts and trades in the
provincial capital, fo- the education of
the Cagayan YOUTH" -...:.
