August Welhelmj. father of the IA
nous violinist of the same name, re-
Gently celebrated his ninetieth birth
day. He is himself a good musician
and still plays his violin every day.
He was an intimate friend of Wagner,
Liszt, Raft, Buelow, Rubinstein and
other great composers. By profession
he is a procurator and lawyer.

when on shore, he goes every morning
to the White Star dock and secures
the services of a ships barber.

picture FooIed snake.

A. L. M. Gootschalk the American
consul at Guayaquil, Ecuador, tells a
good story about the difficulties he has
had to keep a monkey on the consul
late premises, because of the depreda-
tions of the boa constrictors, says the
Mexican Herald, The big reptiles have
a failing for monkeys, and these agile
little pets must keep a constant look
out for them. If Jocko drops into a
doZe he is likely to wake up dead"
On the occasion with which the story
deals a monkeys life was saved by the
picture of the American eagle. The con-
sulate sign all over the world is a fine
reproduction of the king of birds, in
full color, and with ouspread wings. A
new sign had just been received and
was waiting on chair inside the room.
A big boa-constrictor chased the house
monkey across the yard and through
the open window. Jocko was making a
good race, but losing one. He was in
the corner quaking with fear and very
near to deaths door, when the pursuer
confronted the picture of the eagle in
its menacing attitude. A snake fears
eagles even more than it Graves mon
keys, and that particular reptile turn
ed tail and went out of the window as
quickly as if the devil were after 1t.
That monkey was a smart monkey,
and now, whenever it wants to take
a nap, it goes to roost over the pic
ture of the eagle.

cLEvELANn.s sINcERITY.

The Independent, in its current num-
Der. says lit is pretty clear that Mir.
Cleveland desires the Democratic nomi-
nation" This is a rather rash state
ment for a high class magazine TO
make. Mr.. Cleveland stated sometime
| ago that he could think of no combi-
nations Of circumstances that would
induce him TO accept the nomination.
He has made it about as clear as he
can that he doesn't want the nominal
tion. What is there in his political
career that justifes The Independent
in questioning his sincerity? Is he
the sort of man that says one thing
! and means another? The Independent
: must think So or 1t wouldn't have
made the foregoing statement, aud, If
il thinks so, it ought 10 have evidence
to that effect. Has it any such evil
dence? We do not think it has.
1t doubtless bases its statement on
! three articles which Mr.. Cleveland has
written within the last two or three
months. One of these articles was a
denial that he invited a negro
and his wife TO his wedding re-
ception at the White House. Another
was his lecture at Princeton College,
giving a history of his part in the great
Chicago riots of 1894, and third was
an explanation of the issue of bonds
to maintain gold payments when he
was President.
The first article was called out by
a request for a reply to an attack that
had been made on him in Congress.
The reason why he wrote the other ar
ticles is given in one of Mr.. Walter
Wellman's letters. Mr.. Wellman says:
Speaking of the periodical press re-
minds me that the suspicious and lynx
eyed Col. Bryan has asked why did
Grover Cleveland bring out at this
time those monographs of his upon the
Chicago strike of 1894, and that bond
deal of his second administration?
If Mr.. Bryan really wants TO know
what Mr.. Cleveland wrote those papers
for, l can give him an answer. 1t is
$4,000 II is the price which was paid
for them by New York periodicals.
So il seems that Mr. Cleveland was
solicited TO write the articles by New
York periodicals which paid him
large sum for them, and The Independ-
ent, following the lead of Mr.. Bryan,
who is bitterly hostile to Mr.. Cleve-
land. charged him with being insin-
cere. 1t is not at all remarkable that
Mr.. Bryan should question Mr.. Cleve-
lands good faith in saying he was not
seeking the nomination of his party
for President, because he is ready TO
attribute TO him almost any kind of
bad faith in politics, but it seems
strange that The Independent, that
claims to be guided by pure motives
and high purposes, should be so quick
to assume that he is not dealing frank
ly with the public.

Porto RICANs AS CANAL LABOR.
ERS,

There has been a great deal Of dis
oussion as to the source from which a
supply of labor for the construction OF
the Panama canal could be obtained.
Much has been said in favor of employ
ing negroes from jamaica, and the
suggestion has been thrown out that
the cheapest and best labor would be
that which could be obtained from
China. 1t might be a question whether
since the canal zone is under the jurls-
diction of the United States, Chinese
laborers would be permitted there.
What seems TO be good suggestion
comes from a Porto Rican residing IN
New York. He points out in a letter
to the Sun of that city, that there are
at least 100000 men in Porto Rico who
are unable TO find steady employment
there-that is, that that many laborers
could be spared from the island with
out making an actual scarcity of labor.
1t seems from what he says the Gull
tivation of sugar has reached the limit
and coffee cultivation doesn't pay.
There are few, if any, factories. Hence
the people are hard put to it to find
the means of earning enough to keep
them alive. The fact that Porto Rico
is almost as thickly populated as Bel
gium is not generally known. Though
a small island, it has 100000 or more
inhabitants.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 men
will be required in the construction of
the Panama canal, and if the Porto
Ricans make as good laborers as can
be obtained elsewhere and if they will
work as cheaply, what reason is there
that they shouldn't be employed in
preference to laborers from elsewhere?
1t seems that when the French began
the construction of the canal about 200
Porto Ricans offered themselves as la
borers and were accepted. The state
ment is that they stood the climate re-
markedly WE'LL and rema !aed on the
isthmus about six years. Assuming
that this account is correct, there is
no reason why they wouldn't give sat
isfaction and stand the climate as we'll
as Jamaica negroes.
turn to Porto Rico after the compile
ton of the canal, but a big percentage
of them would remain on the isthmus.
The chances are they would find en-
ployment there, since the canal zone
will undergo a remarkable change
within the next ten years, the time
estimated for completing the canal In
the first place the canal zone will be
made much healthier than it is now,
before the work of constructing the
canal begins and it wouldn't be sur
prising if Panama should become a
large commercial city. But if the Porto
Ricans didn't want to return TO Porto
Rico or remain on the isthmus the way
would be open to them to migrate to
Central and South American countries.
Anyway, Porto Rico would be relieved
in a measure of her surplus of popu-
lation and the opportunities there for
earning a living would be much i'm
proved.

NINE WARS IN PROGRESS.

The average newspaper reader will
probably be a little astonished upon
being told that there are at present
no less than nine wars in progress.
1t is true that all of them are not call
ed wars. Some of them are called
missions" others expeditions and
similar soft-sounding names. For in
stance, England's advance into Tibet
is called a mission and her operations
in Nigeria are called an expedition,
but both involve fighting, bloodshed
and death.
The most important of the current
wars is that between Russia and
Japan. of COURSE 1t has monopolized
public attention, so that sight has been
lost of the less important conflicts
Second in importance probably is the
war between the British and the Tibe-
tans, in which there have been three
or four pretty severe fights with con-
siderable casualty lists Coming third
may be mentioned the war between
the Dutch and the Achinese, in Sumat-
ra. This war. by the way, has been go
ing on for thirty years and more. The
hberty-loving natives of Sumatra re-
fuse to yield submission to the Dutch
and continue in arms against the in
vaders. Last month the Dutch troops
killed SAL Achinese in enc action, and
a week or so ago the Dutch captured
the town of Tjantoe after killing 1870
Of the natives. Then the Germans are
a.. LAT
vince in Southwest Africa, and are hav-
ing a hard time of it. Hundreds of
lives have been lost in this campaign
i'm battle or by sickness England is
still at war with the Mad MulTah in
Somaliland. 1t is true that the end of
the struggle is about in sight, but peace
has not yet been made. This war with
the Mad Mullah has extended over
many years. A punitive expedition has
been sent into Nigeria by the British
government, to avenge an uprising and
"treachery" on the part of certain ex-
TO call this a war, yet il is being at
tended with all of the consequences Of
war, especially for the Nigerians. There
is, as usual, fighting in Santo Domingo.
One of the constantly recurring revo-
lutions is in progress. The dispatches
few days ago gave an account of
the success of the revolutionary party.
The Turks and Kurds are at war with
the Armenians. Yesterdays cable
grams said the Turkish forces operat-
ing against the Armenians amounted
| to $4,000 men, and that the Turks
had wrought terrible devastation. And
last but not least. there is our own
war in the Philippines Its conclusion
has been proclaimed several times but
only a few days ago the dispatches
brought information of the killing OF
a number of American officers and men
by Moros in Mindanao and that Gen.
Wood was leading or would send an
expedition against them. That certain
ly looks warlike. And from the re-
| curing outbreaks of our purchased
subjects in the Far East, it seems that
we may be as long in subduing the
Filipinos as the Dutch have been in
| subduing the Achinese. 4...--
