Iglesias' Demands.

The demands made by Iglesias upon the
Porto Rico Sugar Company were: IS cents
a day and nine hours work for men and
women over eighteen years of age; 80 cents
a day and nine hours work for children
from fourteen to sixteen years old, and
the absolute abolition of child labor under
fourteen years of age. In making his de-
mands he declared in writing to the COM
pany: Strike Is the natural course OF de-
Tense and does not mean to attack prop
critics or injure their owners. Strike is I'M
ayoidable The idea of strike fills the
minds of the workingmen because deep
disgust exists among those unfortunate
peasants. The causes thereof are too evil
dent to be unknown; the horrible misery
they suffer; the very small salary they
earn; the exhausting work they are COM
PEELED to do under burning sun and tor
rental rains, or in the obscure and cold
night. The life Of the country laborer in
Porto Rico Is anything but human"
Iglesias claims to be general organizer OF
the American Federation Of Labor, but
that great body has never filed incorpora-
ton apers here. Since the visit OF SAM
uel Gompers to Porto Rico last spring labor
circles have been kept in a state OF agita-
ton and it Is currently reported that lgie-
sias urged the La Fortuna" strikers TO be
firm in staying out as two ship loads or
provisions from Mr.. Gompers were then
on their way from the United States.
Public sentiment is strongly against the
labor agitators here from the fact that II
left alone the Porto Rican laborer is
faithful, inoffensive workman, satisfied with
his pay, which wages meet all his require
ments. Self-aggrandizment and political
recognition, rather than philanthropy, seem
to be the actuating motives of Iglesias and
his fellow agitators.
Governor Winthrop's friends are confident
that he will be equal to the emergency and
insist upon fair deal for strikers and en-
ployers. A. c. HAESELBARTH.

Of this, told the superintendent that she

fact that 1 had no support of any kind

period and the further fact that the girls

Photographs Without Light.
From Golfers Weekly.

It has recently been found that If sec
a photogra phic plate and both are kept in
absolute darkness a picture Of the wood Is
obtained. These photographs usually show
the annual rings of the stem section; some
times i. is the spring growth. which is most
active on the plate. and sometimes 1t is
the denser autumn growth, which has the
greater effect. The wood of all trees does
not show the same degree of activity, some
woods being nearly inert; thus the wood OF
oak or beech is active that of elm or horse
chestnut comparatively inactive. The wood
seems to be the only part of the tree which
has this peculiar power, since no pictures
are given by the bark and stem. Expert
mentS have shown that 1t is the reSinouS
principles of the wood which are the eff
fective agents in this phenomenon. Tho
common resins are all active on the photo
graphic plate In the dark. although the truc
gums, like gum-arabic or cherry gum, are
quite inactive. 1t is also SAID that ii resins
be dissolved In alcohol and the alcoholic
solution be painted on to paper the paper
will be active on the sensitive plate. II
a section of wood is exposed to bright sun
light for five or ten minutes and then al
lowed to act on a plate its power Is found
to be greatly increased. This increase IN
power persists for several days, and even
weeks. An artificial light has the same cf-
feet to a smaller extent. II the wood is
exposed to sunlight which has passed
through colored glass instead of to the full
white light the results obtained differ with
the different colors. Red light has no acti-
waiting power on the wood. green light has
little. whereas blue light Is but little less
noticing that the colors which are inactive
on the Photographic plate are the onss
which have little or no power to increase
the picture-making power OF wood

RAILROAD PROBLEMS.
Systems Not Keeping Pace With Grow
ing Demands of Traffic.


The really great railroad problem in this
country, as pointed out by the organ Of
southern enterprises, the Manufacturers
Record Of Baltimore. is the neglect or the
inability of the railroads to keep pace with
the growing demands of traffic.
The volume of this traffic, as measured
by the total Of tons moved per mile. in
creased, in round numbers from about
6S.OOO,OOO,OOO tons in 1890 to 1000, 900 900
In 1897. and to more than 40 900. DOC, 40 in
1904 The mere increase from 1887 to 1904
was more than 1900. 900 600 tons greater
than the total tonnage of 1890 At the
same rate of increase the tonnage in the
next seven years will be more than 3OO.-
600, 600, 900 tons, as against 10000, OOO, OOO
tons in 1904.
That means almost complete doubling
of the entire transportation business Of the
United States In seven years, and that
means broadness Of development in the
improvement Of existing lines and the
building of new roads, in the re-equipment
with more cars and locomotives. that most
people do not seem to have yet gained any
conception of. Are we likely to reach such
a development within seven years?"
Since 1890 the increase In the volume OF
railway freight moved has been about l53
per cent. Coincidentally, however the In
cars has been only about 40 per cent. 1t Is
true that the cars and locomotives of today
are of heavier construction and carrying
capacity than in 1850, but that difference,
as the Baltimore paper points out, Is insult
1cient to overcome the increase of 153 per
cent in the volume of traffic. That this Is
so is indicated by the fact that even now
the railroads are blocked with freight.
With the rapid growth of population and OF
traffic. 'in all human probability this con-
ditiOn must steadily become more acute
and 1.-The car famines and freight conges-
ton because of the inability of the rail-
roads to keep up with the freight" of three
years ago will be repeated.
The lesson our Baltimore contemporary
draws from these facts Is that the natural
development of the business and produc-
ton of this country will be impeded SER
iously unless the railroads prepare to
catch up with the volume of traffic Offer
ing"
1.-THE broad railroad man must look
ahead He cannot plan simply to handle
the traffic of today; he must plan for the
traffic of the years just ahead. and 1t may
be seriously questioned whether any rail-
road in this country has even outlined plans
sufficient to meet growth Of its traffic. II
all it's plans were carried out, even for the
next five years, much less the next ten."
Here Is the greatest railroad problem. 1t
Is not government regulation of rates, but
the provision by the railroads OF sufficient
facilities for handling the rapidly increasing
volume of traffic.

I have also the kilograms which you sent
on April IL and IS, in which you declare
that peaceful meetings may be held. Moth
ing could be stronger than your declaration
in one of these kilograms that, 1.-The law
authorizes peaceful meetings. but strictly
prohibits encouragement or fnstigation of
acts of violence. Chief of police has Or
ders to see that the law is enforced, per-
sonal rights protected, order preserved and
property safeguarded."
In view of the fact that meetings and
lawful assemblages in several towns on
the island were dispersed by the police, 1t is
clearly indicated that the police fagrantly
violated the lave and were themselves
guilty of violence, wantonly outraging the
rights of the people. In view of these cir
cumstances, it would appear that an Off
Ger other than the chief of the insular po-
lice should have made a thorough and i'm
partial investigation.
The condition of the workmen of Porto
Rico l know to be deplorable. l am conf
dent from the conversation l had the honor
of having with you in New York that you
are in entire accord with me. that much
Improvement in their condition Is not only
desirable but essential If no other means
are afforded the workmen to secure I'M
proved conditions than by q strike they
unquestionably not only had the right to-
strike but also the right to consult with
their fellow workmen in order to prepare
for the Inauguration Of strike.
Surely ii Is the hope Of us all that Ame1-
can ideas and American ideals shall be in
stilled into the hearts and minds of the peo-
pie OF Porto Rico. and submit that moth
ing con be accomplished. nor can their af-
fections for the institutions and the flag
of our country be encouraged and main
tanned unless they learn by experience that
American rights and American guarantees
mean more than their mere declaration on
each recurring Fourth Of July.

Mr.. Gompers' Reply.

Replying TO this Mr.. Gompers said:
l have read carefully the statement of A.
c. Haeselbarth of San Juan, made in his
letter of April "a. and a fair characterize
ton of his statements is that they are men
dacious. willful and malicious perversions
OF the truth. careful reading and COM
parison of one statement with the other will
show their very contradictory character,
and under the pretense of patriotism he
undertakes to gloss over the most fragrant
violations of constitutional and natural
rights. Why should Mr.. Haeselbarth ex-
ultingly say that severe blow was dealt
TO Santiago Iglesias? OF what has he been
guilty to deserve severe a blow? Iglesias
has lived In Porto Rico many years before
the war between the United States and Spain
and aided and guided our soldiers In the
Porto Rican campaign against Spain, for
which he was held in high regard by the
officers in command. Since the close OF the
war he has devoted himself to the fullest
to aid the working people and all the people
Of the island to an Improvement In their
material. moral and social condition. II Is
untrue to say that he is a politician and
takes part in partisan politics. For year
or two after the establishment OF peace he
believed and acted upon the belief that

Reminders OF the Devil.

mountain known as the Devils Kitch-

Dundee Advertiser, Ito the curious

past times in naming peculiar natural
formations after his satanic majesty.
1t is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that hardly a county in the British
Isles is without some place or thing

satanic majesty must be a holder Of
a considerable amount of property on
this terrestrial globe. The Devils

Japs to Hold Manchuria.

New York, Aug. S.-The Times will
say:
Japan has apparently a fixed and
firm determination not to relinquish
her hold on Manchuria. no matter
what contingencies may arise as a
result Of the pending peace nego-
tiations, At least this is the con-
struction put on the hasty and secret
preparations now going forward for
the building Of extension of the rail-
road which now runs from Fusan on
the southeast coast of Korea to Seoul
and which it is planned to take across
the Yalu for $50 miles into Man
churia, joining the Chinese Eastern
railway probably at Liaoyang.
Rush orders have been placed in
the last few days with American firms
and corporations for the material for
the road. This material included $50
steel bridges, $50 locomotives and
1000 cars.

Many Boats Are Now Being Equipped
with the Apparatus.
References have been made hereto
fore to the new system Of submarine
signaling through the water and the
very considerable interest in the
company has been secured by ]. P.
Morgan & Co., says the Philadelphia
Record.
Vessels equipped with the company's
receivers can detect and announce the
tolling of bells at a distance of five
miles and occasionally ten miles, and
also determine the exact direction
from which the sound comes, the
direct to the pilot house. Mr.. Morgan
has found the patents successful on
his yacht Corsair.
The signals consist Of submerged
bells to be used in connection with
light houses and lightships at danger
Gus points of navigation. The COM
pany's receivers can hear and locate
the sound of these bells at distance
of from five to ten miles and thus
guard from or warn a vessel of I'M
pending peril. The bells are now be-
ing used at various points along the
Atlantic coast. The North German
Lloyd, neutrality-suspicious. transatlan-
tiCe lines and the Metropolitan line to
Boston are equipped with the receiv-
ers. 1t is expected that the Lucania
will be equipped with the receivers on
her arrival at this port.
