Havana, March 81. - The steamer
Cristobal Colon arrived at Batabano,
from which port 1t is declared that
she will sail for TIE Isle of Pines I'M

is some danger that the ship will be
bottled up on her arrival there and
not be granted clearance papers for
Cuban ports unless she is given Gu

Company, says that probably an
amicable agreement will be reached
temporarily, pending definite ar

practically abandoned their radical
movement and are disposed in the

Samoans Also Intelligent and Indus

Civilization IN Amiable and

Apia, Samoa.--It would naturally be-
among the so-called savage races that
one would expect to find physical per-
lection; in civilized communities the
mind is certainly trained at the expense
Of the body.
In the very center of the globes sur
race, reckoning with the equator as a
divisional line between north and south
and the Greenwich notations east and
west, there lives race of beings who
have veritable paradise for home and
very intelligent minds combined with
almost perfect physique.
The Samoan islands have q climate
that is conducive to languor and mac
tivity, yet its people are a busy race.
They do not labor during the day so
much, but In the early morning hours
they vie with each other in fishing, row.
Ing and all aquatic sports, besides gath
ering their sustenance from the great
height Of the cocoanut tree, carrying
huge punches of bananas. and count

Wanted civilization; their islands lie
out of the way of the great thorough
fares of the world and 1t is only within
comparatively recent years that any at
tempt has been made to utilize their
great natural facilities In commercial
way. 1t is not known just when or in
what manner the islands were first in
habited, but 1t is conceded to be fact
that the Hawaiians, the Samoans and
the Maoris of New Zealand were, in
earlier years, one people occupying the
same islands or group of islands.
It seems incredible that such peo-
pie with little or no idea of navigation,
no ships but their long canoes and no
idea Of the geography of the earth's sur
face, should have become spread over
such an area of space. The Maoris tell
in all their old legends of their people,
tired of battle among neighboring
tribes, setting forth for new lands, sail
ing great distances over terrible seas
and finally landing in the lovely land Of
New Zealand. AS to their prowess on
water 1t is truly remarkable; far out
at sea, perhaps a hundred miles, you
will pass as you go in the great steameif'
that carries one to these lands, little
white-winged canoes flying before the
breeze like some strange bird.
Neither the Maori nor the Hawaiian
has preserved the free untrammeled life
of the Samoans, and with other labor,
other climate and less natural existence
has come a gradual decline of their
physical perfection.
The Samoan youth is in his prime at
Is, he is straight as an arrow, broad OF
shoulder, with loose muscles that change
with every position; his color is rich
mahogany brown, his features straight
and though perhaps somewhat heavy,
rarely coarse. The hair is coal black
and lies in great waves, the despair OF
the fairer races. Their voices are ex-
ceedingly rich, in song they have the
effect of some deep instrument such q
rich bell-like tone prevails.
The women are beautiful and In per-
feet glory of perfection at IA or Is years
of age. Their features are delicate, their
hair black, wavy and very long and
their limbs round and beautiful.
Their lives among themselves is ex-
ceedingly happy, they are very moral,
very kind, generous and thoughtful,
while their dispositions are amicable
and loving as child.
Into this Paradise the white mans
enters as the serpent, incites love for
gold and spirit of calculation and
rivalry that eats into the simple mind
insiduously.
II inevitable, may 1t be long in CON-
Ing, that change that will convert these
children of nature into sordid refec-
ton of mans civilization.

WESTERN SNOW BLOCKADE.
Engine and Crews Spend 16 Days on
Alpine Pass.

Gunnison, Colo, April 3. 90 The
Colorado & Southern road was opened
between Gunnison and Alpine pass,
and Gunnison and Mount Carbon, for
the first time in three weeks. A ro-
tary and seven engines reached Gun
nison after having been snowbound
for sixteen days on Alpine Pass, dur.
ing which time the engineers were
compelled to remain In their cabs.
A rotary with three engines left
Como March IA to cut through the
drifts which were piled high on eth
er side of the pass, completely block
aiding the road. One by one the cars
Of the train were backed down the
pass and abandoned at st. Elmo. A
short distance east Of Alpine tunnel
the rotary broke down in IS feet Of
snow. When word reached Gunnis-
on that the train had been abandon
ed to its fate in the drifts, four more
engines, carrying five cars Of coal,
were started to the rescue Of the iso.
lated train, but the relief train also
became stalled on a sidetrack just
west of the tunnel. The five cars Of
coal were used to make the journey
and no effort was made to bring in
the DELAYED trains until later, when
the road was finally cleared. Food
was carried to the trainmen by par.
ties who made regular trips each day
over the frozen mountains.
Superintendent Bacon Of the Colo
RADIO & Southern declared that the
siege of snowslides and blockades
through which the traincrews have
passed was the worst in the entire
history of the road.

PLAT IS EXPOSED EY THE RUS.
SIAN LEAGUE OF WRITERS.
TREATS TO Kill MORE JEWS.
Appeal Asks How Long Russian Peo-
pie viii Refrain Idle Spectators Of
an lnfamy Bringing Shame Of the
World Upon the Nation.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE league
Of Russian writer's has issued an ap-
peal to the Russian people to unite
in the name of their consciences and
self respect to prevent the Jewish
massacres which, they claim, are be-
yond doubt being prepared In south
western Russia for Easter tide. The
appeal says that 1t is not fancy but
fact that the police and gendarmes
are arranging to let loose the Black
Hundred upon the members Of the
poor, helpless race. It recalls that
the Kishineff, Gomel and Odessa anti
Jewish outrages were committed at
the instigation Of Minister Plehve,
Chief of Police Neidhardt, just as In
the past times st. bartholomew days
were arranged by agents Of the gov
eminent, the appeal declares the re-
cent proclamat.ons emanating from
the printing Office of the police mas
ter at st. Petersburg and that OF the
military staff at Odessa leave no
doubt that the authorities are privy
to the present propaganda. The ap-
peal further decl"-es that M. Kali
sousky's book warning Jews to leave
Russia Immediately or be treated as
Jews were treated by the Spaniards
in the middle ages was printed and
distributed from the offices Of the po-
lice masters of st. Petersburg and
Ekaterinoslav.
The League Of Writers claims to
hold proof that massacrees have been
planned to take place at Alexandrovsk
Minsk, Brest-Litovsk, Rostov-on-Don
and Krementchug. 1t also points out
that the anti-Jewish press is spread
ing insiduous rumors designed to in
cite the ignorant, instancing specif-
cally the case Of the Moscow day,
wherein was printed an article under
the caption "The Jewish Easter Is
Coming-Take Care of Your Child
ren." containing the usual horrible in
timation of blood atonement."
The appeal asks how long the Rus
sian people will remain idle .specta-
tors of an infamy which brings the
shame of the world upon the nation.
None of the non-Russian peoples OPP
pressed by the government suffer so
many bloody tragedies as the Jews
the appeal says. 1--WE know how Ar
meplans have been massacred, how
students have been beaten and the
awful treatment to which the intelli-
gencia, all fighters for liberty, have
been subjected, but none that COM
pares with the hatred for Jews, who
are perpetually trembling before a
bloody nightmare. These Jews are
Russian citizens, whose destruction
Is our shame. Their fight for their
rights is our fight for our deliverance.
Unite to protect them. Lift up your
voice In the press, in society and in
the streets. Pillory the names of
those who would repeat the infamies
of the past"

ROOSEVELT HAS ENOUGH
OF WORLDS EXPOSITIONSI

Washington, March 81. - President
Roosevelt was asked to give interest
and support to another international
exposition. 1t Is the desire Of the peo-
pie of Florida that such an exposition
be held in Tampa in January, Febru-
airy, March, April and May of 1908, to
commemorate the beginning of the
digging of the Panama canal. The
president was not enthusiastic about
the proposition, as he said he had
about all the work on hand concern
ing expeditions that he well could
stand.

WANT AMERICAN LOAN
FOR RAILROAD FRANCHISE

st. Petersburg, March 81. - Baron
Loicq De Lobet. in order to meet the
wishes Of the national defense COM
mittee, has altered his Boring Strait
tunnel and Siberian railway project
to make the railroad run due east
from Kansk to the 10th degree of
longitude and thence northeasterly to
Yakutsk. Unofficial limitations are
given that Russia would be glad to
have the concession accompanied by
an American loan. The decision Of
the commission is still in suspense.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Friday, March 80.

Referring to the lack of agreement
in the pending bill, Mr.. Carmack ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t Is better
than 1t will be after an amendment.
He did not consider court review
provision essential.
Senator Burrows, Of the senate H.
nance committee, has closed the case
of William T.. Vernon, nominated to
be register Of the treasury, and nc
more evidence for or against his con-
firmation will be accepted. The com
mittee will take no action on the
nomination until Senator Bailey, OF
Texas, returns to Washington. the
latter part or early part of next week.
Mr.. Stevens, Of Texas, introduced
the amended bill opening the Kiowa
and Comanche pasture lands, with
added provision giving each Indian
child born since June 6, 1900, its
share of the allotments. The bill had
passed both houses and was with.
drawn from t., president to correct
this error of omission.
Representative Campbell, Of Kan
sas, will probably not be able to at.
tend his congressional convention
April 5, although he had planned to
make 1t the occasion of opening his
campaign for the United States SEN
ate to- succeed Senator Burton. Mr..
Campbell IL member of the District
of Columbia committee and Is prepar-
ing an important local measure.
There is a strong prospect that the
bill to settle the affairs of the five
civilized tribes, prepared originally by
the interior department, but greatly
amended in the senate. will fail alto
gether at this session. Representa-.
tive Sherman. who is at the head OF
the conference on the house side, is
quoted as determined to oppose the
effort of the senate to strike out the
provision providing for the lease ard
sale of the coal lands.
General George w. Davis, formerly
Of the Isthmian Canal Commission
and governor Of the canal zone, and
later chairman of the board OF con-
sulting engineers, appeared before
the senate committee on interocean.
ic canals in support of the majority
report recommending the construction
of a sea level canal.
Washington. - Today. was busy

lative, executive and judicial bill. The

whole by vote Of Is to % expIng-

was alleged to be properly a part of
the postofIice appropriation bill. An
increase of $4,000 over the appropria-
ton carried by the bill was voted for
confidential agents of the interior de-
partment to aid in the ferreting of
land frauds.

The Praise of Women

A POETS compliment to woman, or to
y women, is one of the prettiest and pleas
ATTEST exercises of words. Francis |. of France
once said that a court without women would
be like a year without spring, and a spring
without roses; and Malherbe, who was poet,
said that there are only two pretty things in
the world, women and roses: and only two
dainty morsels, women and melons.
Then, Chateaubriand said Man without
woman would be gross, rude, and solitary, and
would ignore the grace which is the smile of
love. Woman hangs around him the flowers
of life, like those forest creepers which adorn
the trunks of oaks with their perfumed gar
lands"
In his pretty little book, Opinion of My
Friend Jacques on Women of Mind and the
Mind of Women" F. ]. Stah1 says: THE
mind of women has every kind of relation to
the diamond. 1t is fine, it is precious, it has
a thousand fires thousand rays, it has facets
which radiate in every direction, it dazzles
and betrays itself, even in the shade, when
the slightest opening is made. 1t cannot be
shut up in the jewel-box; it must be
seen"
Fontene11e said: Among women modesty
has great advantages: it augments beauty,
and serves to hide ugliness."
"a young girl was walking in a garden"
said an enthusiastic French poet and the
flowers began to speak. You are prettier
than we are, fair damsel, said they. Fresh
er, said the rose of May; more vermilion,'
said the pomegranate; winter said the lily;
'sweeter,' said the jasmine; more graceful
said the meadow-queen: 'purer, said the
virgin-spike; chaster said the orange-hower.
The young girl knew nothing of the language
of the flowers; her fair, open countenance fell
upon each of them without blushing, and she
admired them all without knowing the praises
they were giving her But, perceiving half
hidden among the heritage the blue-eyed
violet she stopped toward it, gathered it with
her delicate fingers, and after having inhaled
its perfume placed 1t near her heart. How
happy is the violetf said the other
flowers"
We can hardly omit here the saying of
Schiller: Honor to women! They scatter
celestial roses on the pathway of our earthly
life; they weave the fortunate bands of love-
and under the modest veil of the graces they
nourish with a sacred hand the immortal
flower of noble sentiments"

Importance of the Blower

At evening service in Richmond church
L y there was new hymn rendered by the
choir. When the congregation had been dis
missed, the organ-blower, a conscientious
negro long in the service of the church, sought
out a member of the choir, saying: How
did de new hymn seem to be receibed dis chem
ing?"

only | was a little nervous and worried about

And resolved to commit suicide:
He got under the wheels
OF nine automobiles,
And after the last one he died
