THE ALDERMEYs ATTITUDE.

1t is reported that some of the aldermen are
alarmed as to the possible effects of their pro-
tracted refusal to grant to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company the right to build the connec-
ton needed to carry out its plans. The control
over franchises for new lines within the city
limits, except those which are in the hands OF
the Rapid Transit Commission, has always been
one of the cherished privileges of the aldermen,
and they have frequently manifested dispo-
sition to hold up the awards as long as possible.
Reports are current now, however, that they are
anxious about the threats which have been made
and the interest shown by the Tammany leader.
During Tweed's day and for considerable
time afterward there were two boards OF local
legislators directing the affairs of the munich
pality We don't seem to have made a great
deal of progress since then, except in cutting OH
the salaries of the separate body of assistants.
The aldermen have been almost constantly a
nuisance and hindrance to the prosperity OF
the city. Now the Democratic majority in the
board have employed the services of a we'll
known legal firm to supply much needed advice.
The Corporation Counsel is not sufficient for
their needs, which shows sad lack of conf
dence in the soundness of their position. The
aldermen are subject to the legislature, and they
may suffer painful dminution of their powers
unless they evince greater wisdom in the exer-
else thereof. This is a becoming time for them
to consider how foolishly they have been acting
and to amend their conduct

We do not know how many employees of the

reason to ask similar favors and object to any

before long On a general scheme of civil pen

would reach gigantic proportions. With the best
wishes for the veterans OF the Finance Depart
ment, it is impossible to regard this bill as any

SECRETARY HAYS TRIP.
Taft to Decide Important State De-
partment Questions.
(By The Associated Press.)


Washington. March 16.-While Secretary Hay
has not yet perfected the details of the trip he
is about to take, it may be said that he expects
to be absent from Washington until about the
end of April. Most of the time viii be spent on
the ocean, for the Secretary is going away for
the sake of his health and on the urgent rep
reservations of his physicians. Therefore.
although he may IN the course Of his voyage
touch at several European ports, as he Is
charged with no official mission and is seeking
perfect rest Fl ON all mental worry and strain
it is not part of his plan to call on any othclals
abroad If that can be properly avoided. MIS-.
Hay will accompany the Secretary on this TRIP
and Henry Adams, the Secretary'S warm per
sonaI friend, will probably go with them. The
party will sail before the end OF the week, but
in view of the physicians instructions that he
is to avoid excitement or stress Of any kind,
the moment and place of the SecretaryS de-
parture are not announced.
One thing be stated positively, and that
is that if Mr.. Hays health is not much further
impaired than 1t now Is he will return to Wash
ington to resume his Cabinet duties.
Mr.. Loomis will return to Washington from
his Western trip about April B. to act as Sec
rotary of State, and after the Presidents de-
parture on his trip to the Southwest any ques-
tions connected with the administration of the
State Department outside Of routine business
will be referred to Secretary Taft for his dis
position. AS Mr. Hay expects to return TO
Washington before Secretary Taft sails for the
Philippines early in July, the State Department
will not want for head In the summer.

DEATH FROM NATURAL CAUSES.

Faith In the correctness of the verdict of the
coroner's jury in regard to the cause Of Mrs
Stanford's death is shaken by the statement just
made by President Jordan and Timothy ]. Hop
kins, one Of the trustees Of Leland Stanford jr
University. When so wide difference of opin-
ion develops as has arisen in the present In
stance, the public may hesitate to make a choice
between the conflicting views Nevertheless, il
can hardly make a mistake in rejecting the
theory of murder. DR.. Jordan is one of the lead
ing biologists of this country His wide expert
ence as a scientific man and his intimate ac-
quaintance with those who constituted Mrs
stanford's personal environment ought to give
him an exceptional insight into the whole mat

the sad event which recently took him to Homo
lulu TO combination Of advanced age with un-
accustomed food. unusual exertion and exposure

features of the case remain unexplained but

TIE MARKET FOE CHOCOLATE.

The enormous and rapid increase in the con-
sumption of chocolate in this country ought to
be of advantage to Porto Rico In the last
twenty years our imports of cacao have In
creased from about 100000 pounds to So 000-
900 pounds a year. Cacao in various FORMS as
cocoa or chocolate, is a highly popular drink
and chocolate as a favoring matter, as an in
gredient of confectionery and in its solid form
as nourishing and sustaining article of food
is used every year in larger and larger guam
titles
The cocoa tree is a native of tropical America
and grows in particular perfection in the moist
islands of the West Indies. We get more from
the British West Indies than from any other
source the island of Trinidad off the South
American coast at the mouth of the Orinoco,
being especially devoted to its culture. though
large quantities are likewise raised in Jamaica
great deal comes to US also from Brazil.
Guiana and Ecuador and some from Cuba.
Many parts of Porto Rico are doubtless well
fitted for its cultivation, especially the moist
lowlands where the better grades of coffee do
not flourish. Some cacao is shipped through
Porto Rico from neighboring islands to the
United States, but as yet, we believe no effort
mas been made TO raise the tree there on a scale
TO warrant exports. Porto Rican attention has
in the past largely been given I'D to coffee
sugar and tobacco. These industries were nroit
able there after the financial collapse of the
British islands through the fall in sugar prices
mad led to elaborate attempts to find new crops
and experiments with indigo arro1vroot ord
finally cacao AS this product is on the free
list, Porto Rico would enjoy no advantage over
its neighbors except that of shorter and mora
direct steamship connection than most of them
Yet the growing taste for chocolate should he q
STIMULUS to Porto Ricans seeking new and H.
verse agricultural products.
