visional government, as he had no
ambitions for future Office.

RAIN ADDS TO SUFFERING.
Storm Drenches Hundreds of Home
less People Near Mobile.


Mobile, Ala, Oct, "A heavy rain
storm, which is greatly interfering
with the railroad and telegraph COM
panies. prevails here. No wind ac-
companies the rainfall. but the down
pour is exceedingly heavy and has
enormously increased the difficulties
of constructing gangs.
1t is feared, too, that 1t will cause
much increase Of suffering and some
deaths along the coast of the south
end Of Mobile bay. Many people are
homeless in that section and are liv-
ing in the woods with scanty supplies
of provisions. On Dauphin island
there are 500 persons homeless and
only three small buildings in which
they can obtain shelter. While there
is no suffering in Mobile proper there
Is urgent need at many points on the
southern part of the bay and assist
ance for these people will be CRATE
fully received.
The citizens of Mobile have under
taken relief measures with energy
the stricken roints as rapidly as pos
sible, but there is so much distress at
various points to which access is diff.
cult that it is certain great suffering
must follow. Next to food the great
need is for clothing. Men and women
in some places have been compelled
to wear coffee sacks for clothing and
there are few sacks to be had.

James j. Hill has stolen march on
r. H. Hartman and is getting ready
to build into California Not only has
the Great Northern magnate com
pleted survey of proposed new line
from Boise City to San Francisco, but
he has secured quietly a valuable
point on the bay shore for railroad
terminals and is figuring on the cost
of the construction work with the
avowed purpose of having San Fran

tied up the bay farm island property
for ferry system across the bay.
Hill is coming to San Francisco by
way of the Pitt river, which affords
him the only means of entering thit

CUBANS DEMONSTRATE CONFl
pENcE IN THE PROVISIONAL
GOVERNMENT.
oPEnIA6 OF HAVANA UNIVERSITY
AMERICAN GOVERNOR ATTENDS
AND Is ENTHUSIASTICALLY
APPIAUDED.

Havana, Oct. 1.-The annual open
ing of the University of Havana was
the occasion Of great demonstration
OF confidence in the provisional gov
eminent and Of high appreciation Of
Governor Taft and the work Presi-
dent Roosevelt's commissioners have
undertaken. Those present included
the flower of Havana's most intellec-
tual and refined society and their out
bursts of applause were significant
indication of appreciation of the pro-
visional government by the most
thoughtful element of the capital.
From an early hour every seat in
the big university auditorium was
filed and the doors and windows on
all sides were crowded. The arrival
Of Governor Taft was the signal for
enthusiastic applause. He entered
accompanied, by Assistant Secretary
Of State Bacon; Captain Mccoy, his
personal aide-de-camp; the American
minister, Mr.. Morgan, and Judge
Schoenrich of Porto Rico, and was
conducted by Dr. Berriel, rector of
the university, and Lincoln de Zayas,
acting secretary of public instruction,
between lines of university professors
ln cap and gown to the presiding seat
In the center of the platform. The
applause continued throughout the
time occupied by the governors en-
trance and left no doubt of the genu-
ineness Of his welcome. After the
annual address on the history and
progress of the university, which was
delivered by DR.. Manuel Rodriguez,
professor of mythology, Governor
Taft presented the diplomas to the
successful students and then made a
notable address. which lasted half an
hour, the spirit of which was that the
Intervention Of the United States was
undertaken solely to assist Cuba and
the Cubans and that her future was
dependent upon her young men.
AS the governor and his party were
leaving the university the students
and others crowded about Mr.. Tafts
automobile, cheering for President
Roosevelt, Governor Taft, the United
States and Cuba. Mr.. Taft and his
party were then driven to the Amer
loan legation.

MORE MARINES LANDED.
Brigade Fully Equipped for Long Stay
Put Ashore,

Put ashore.
Havana, Oct. "A brigade of ma
rines consisting of $50 men, command
ed by Major Wendell G.. Melville, was
landed at 8 a. m. from the United
States warships Kentucky, Indiana
and Minneapolis and proceeded by troll.
ley to Camp Columbia. There was no
denomination of any kind.
All the marines we're landed within
two hours from the starting of the
operation, which was carried out with
great precision, owing to the fact that
tents, supplies and general equipment
were brought along in the boats with
each detachment, so that each boat
load Of men had with them full equip
ment for long stay ashore. Several
deld guns were also landed.
All the landings were made at the
new wharf of the Havana Central
electric railway Thirty street cars
and several freight cars for the sup
plies were run directly out upon the
long pier and the ships boats, laden
with marines, were lowed to the
shore in strings of three and four by
the launches. AS the marines, with
their equipment, reached the wharf
they were passed into the street cars,
which at once started, two or three at
time, for Camp Columbia. The
freight cars followed as fast as they
were loaded. All the cars passed over
the Havana Central tracks to near the
arsenal, where they were switched to
the City line, thence going through
the city to Camp Columbia. The sight
OF so many carloads of troops created
considerable interest, but there was
not the least excitement.

COURT DECISION ANNULS
BAUDETTE incorporation
Beltram County Village Election of
Last February Declared Illegal by
Judge McCIenahan.

The pretended incorporation
of the village of Baudette is de-
clared illegal and void by a
decision handed down a few days
ago by Judge McClenahan of the
district court. The case is that
Of the State of Minnesota VS.. the
Village of Baudette ct al.
A stay of sixty days in the
entering of judgment has been
granted by stipulation between
the attorneys. If Judgment is
finally entered it means that the
north country village will be left
without local government.
The election to pass on the in
corporation Of Baudette was
held February Z, 1906, and in the
complaint Of the state, ex rel the
attorney general, it is alleged
that the election was illegal for
number of reasons. In the first
place it was claimed that the
notice of election was not given
as provided by law.
1t is claimed, furthermore,
that at the time of the election
and at no time since has the COM
munity had a population of 200.
That certain portions of the land
included in the incorporation are
separated from the rest of the
village by the river and are so
conditioned as not to be sub
jected to village government.
Also that a portion of the land
proposed to be made part of
the village is over mile from the
plated portion Of the village and
is rural territory. Another
strong argument was that Will
lam Cloutts, one of the inspec-
tors of election and one of the
men who voted at the election,
was not citizen Of the United
States.

GOVERNOR MACON DOES NOT
BELIEVE THEY WILL PROVE
A SUCCESS ON CANAL.
WORK ONLY WHEN HELD IN PEoHAeE
NOT TOLERATE ADOPTION
OF THAT SYSTEM.

New York, Oct. 2.-Charles e. Ma
COON, the retiring American minister
to Panama and governor of the Canal
zone, has arrived here on the steamer
Panama from Colon. Discussing con-
ditions on the isthmus Governor Ma
COON said:
",The work on the isthmus is going
on we'll. l can safely say that the
government of the zone is as good as
that of any other locality in this coun-
try. Ny relations with the Panama
government have been most pleasant
throughout.
1.-THE canal work is progressing as
rapidly as possible, but as yet it is
merely the work of preparation. The
main difficulty there is the labor ques-
ton. Our labor is drawn from Jamaica
and Barbados. Those people are in
telligent and with some education, but
the trouble is that the West Indian is
bird of passage. You get him to un-
derstand what you want and fairly
educated to his work when he sudden
ly drops everything and goes away.
What is needed on the isthmus Is or
ganization of the laborers. They
should be divided into gangs with a
skilled man at the head of each gang
to instruct them in the work and to
advance those who become proficient
In any line. Organization along this
line is under way at the present time"
Poor Opinion of Chinese Labor.
Governor Magoon is not favorably
impressed with the Chinese as a fac
tor In the construction of the canal.
There are at present from 1000 to
5000 Chinese on the isthmus," said
Governor Magoon, land as citizen I
do not think they make desirable Ia
borers. They cannot be depended
upon as much as can the Barbados or
native negro.
"As soon as Chinaman earns
enough money he starts shop of his
own and the government loses man.
The good results that have been at
tanned in several parts of the world by
the use of coolie labor have been due
to great power exerted by the coolie
contractors. This would almost be
system of peonage; that the United
States would not tolerate. If we were
to employ coolie labor we would have
to depend on the Chinaman as an in
dividual, and, in my opinion, that
would not do, as the coolie will work
az little as possible unless under con-
tract feel certain that the Chinese
would not be a benefit to the United
States

WlDENs SCOPE OF RATE LAW
interstate Commission Files Important
Decision on State Rates.

Interstate Commission Files Important
Decision on State Rates.
Washington. Oct 2.-The interstate
commerce commission has reached a
most important conclusion with re-
spect to the railway rate law, which it
has embodied In a general order made
public during the day. 1t holds that
where state rate forms part of an
interstate rate the state rate should
be filed with the commission. This
is an entirely new feature in connec-
ton with the operations of the inter-
state commerce commission.
The further announcement was
made that the commission intends,
wherever possible, to construe the law
in advance, without waiting for any
particular complaint to be made upon
which to base it's decision. In this
way it is expected that large number
of complaints will be anticipated and
the work of the commission CORE
spondingly lessened.

on paying what he owed him. One
