Asked his opinion OF American men

Edgar Allan Poe is unread in Amer

the artistic life Of Paris. The pulpit

sands of Legal Papers Are
Still Intact

SLlfi lHIaCL.
County Clerk Mulcreavy opened on
Tuesday the vaults in the City Hall,
where the valuable papers belonging
to the probate and other courts were
deposited. He found that the fire had
injured the covers of the documents
that are in the tin cases. but had not
harmed the papers proper. Wills,
bonds. securities, sureties' depositions
and other documents dating from the
earliest period Of the city's history
were among the collection taken out
Of the vaults and carried to the new
Offices at Webster and California
streets, where they will be temporar-
lily deposited.
All papers, however, must be re-
recorded, as the books have been de
stroyed.
The earnings Of the County Clerk s
Office during the last month were the
smallest in several years. Less than
$1,000 was taken in.

PORTO RICANS DEMAND
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP

New York, April Governor Beck
man Of Porto Rico arrived here from
San Juan and proceeded to Washing
ton where he has been summoned by
Secretary Taft to appear before the in
sular affairs committee OF the house OF
representatives in relation to Porto
Rican questions. Governor Winthrop
said that he wo,rld endeavor to give the
committee all the information it desir-
ed as to affairs in the island and the
general feeling OF the natives on ques
tions of public policy. u.
The chief demands of the people OF
Porto Rico are American citizenship
and an elective senate instead OF an ex-
ecutive council composed of six
Americans and FIVE natives, zap
pointed by the president, asS at
present. The six Americans are also
heads of departments. {.
The island administrator. it rs said
is opposed to the elective senate idea
on the ground that the island is not
yet ready for such step. Full
American citizenship, however, is adj
vocated by all and was suggested by
President Roosevelt in his message to
congress Dec. S, 1905. h.
Governor Winthrop's stay is limited
to two weeks.

Many OF Those Qualified to Vote Did

Elected Is In Prison, Another Didn't

St. Petersburg, April 2.--The cleo
tions OF workmen within the limits OF
St. Petersburg proper were held yester-
day, preceding the elections to the
municipal convention here, which in
turn will elect six members to the low
er house OF parliament
+. The balloting of the workmen, how
ever, was almost complete farce as
were the elections a fortnight ago in
the bigger factories outside the city.
Out OF sixty-seven establishments
the workmen Of twenty-1ine boycotted
the elections and Of the remainder only
a minority voted and of those elected
about one-half were constitutional
democrats and the other half conserva-
tives, or members OF the BLACK Hum
dred," as they are now popularity
termed
One man elected is now in prison and
another declined to accept the election
for fear that it would subject him to
persecution.
M. Oushakoff, one OF the delegates
chosen, is superintendent Of the state
printing Office and chief of the inde-
pendent ''workmen's" party which like
the famous Zubatoff organization, is
considered to be a creature Of the min
istry OF the interior. '@ls

who signed at the miners convention.
Orders were at once wired to Golfers
for the men to resume work.
The announcement was made at 80
o'clock that the independent operators

and Steene, a branch of the Pan Handle
railroad had signed the scale also that
the Vesta Coal Co, subsidiary of the
Jones & Laughlin's Steel Co, had ac-
cepted the agreement. Mr.. Robbins
