exchanged and congratulations began,
he swooned in a paroxysm of pain.
His wounCs were the result of an ac-

Uostpone it again.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Nov. 90. = Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived here from Co
Ion on board the battleship Louisiana.
Tie was visited on board the vessel by
Governor Winthrop, who extended a
welcome to the island. The president
at once came ashore and was greeted
at the pier by Mayor Oppenheimer and
a delegation Of prominent officials and
citizens. The town, which was pro
fusely decorated in the presidents hon
or, was crowded with people from the
surrounding country. In spite Of the
early hour the landing place was crowd

Of whom had been in their places all
night.

AS the president stepped ashore the
crowd cheered him, crying: Viva el
presidente." When the greetings were
over the president, accompanied by
Governor Winthrop, was driven TO the
city hall, Mrs. Winthrop and Mrs.
Roosevelt following. Ponce was in
gala attire, the United States colors
being interpersed with Spanish flags.
At the city hall an address Of well
come was read to the president. He
delivered his reply from the balcony
Of the building. addressing the larg-
est crowd that had ever assembled in
Ponce.
Promises Them Citizenship.
The president said in part: II shall
continue to use every effort to secure
citizenship for Porto Rico. l am con-

all that 1 can personally do to hasten
that day I will do. My efforts will be
unceasing to help you along the path
of true selfgovernment, which must
have for It's basis a union of order, lib

TIE METRIC SYSTEM.

DIR. A. Graham Bell made a very in
teresting and convincing argument be-
fore the House Committee on Coinage
Weights and Measures, in which he
pointed out the absurdity and ;ncon-
Nenience Of our present conglomerate
and unsatisfactory system by which We
have three different kinds of pounds
and an entangling lot of measures. no
two Of which have any relation TO one
another. The adoption of the metric
system would bring a simplicity and
convenience that would be far greater
than the superiority of our decimal svs-
TEN OF money over the cumbrous none
tary systems in use in Europe. He gave
pertinent illustrations, cited eyperiences
in his own laboratory and met the ducs-
lions of the Chairman and members
with most satisfactory answers. He said
that the objection that new tools Womb
be required in all our workshops was
unduly masnified. It does NOT foIIov
that the present tools would be ren
dered obsolete, and the work or output
by the present tools could be estimated
as satisfactorily by the metric system
as by the present. There might be
necessity for introducing some new
tools, but on the other hand, all tools
become obsolete in a few years and
nave to be renewed anyway. The bill
before the House is only mandatory
concerning the system of arithmetic IN
be used, and leaves all other questions
open. 1t would be far less work 10 con-
vert our present system of measure
ments and weights into the metric svs-
TEN than is imposed upon us continual
ly by the discorGance between our pres
ent weights and measurements. In the
Treasury Department very large part
of the goods imported are already ex-
pressed in metric measurements. and
IL would be in the direction of simplI-
hcatlon to make the metric system COM
pulsory. 1t would be immensely to tha
advantage of our merchants and manu-
faeturers to have this done in the way

OF our knowledge is obtained from a

The greater portion of this land is
rolling, but can be easily watered. The
soil is a sandy loan, warm and fertile,
covered with sage brush Wheat, oats,
rye, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and garden
vegetables are grown very successfully
on portions OF this trip. and there is no
doubt as to the fertility of the soil when

Something About the Present Inhani-
tants of the Reservation.

This wonderful country has been
since 1867 the reservation and special
home of the Shoshone or Snake Indians,
a family embracing the Shoshones prop
e.. the Utes, Comanches. MoGuis,
Chemehueves, Cahuiilo, and the Kechi,
Kizh and Netela of California. The
Shoshones proper are n large and wide
spread people. According to their tra-
dition they came from the South, and
when met by Lewis and Clarke in 1906
they had been driven beyond the Rocky
Mountains. The various Shoshone bands
have gone by numerous names The
most important were the Koolsatikara
or Buffalo Eaters. who long defended
their homes on Wind River. and the
ToOka rika, or Mountain Sheep Eaters
a fierce tribe in the Salmon River coun-
try and upper Snake River Valley. The
western Snakes near Fort Boise were
separated from the others by the kim
dred Bannacks. The Shoshocos foot
mem, called also White Knives. from
the fine white flint knives they formerly
used, were digger tribes on Humboldt
River and Goose Creek and included
apparently most of those in the basin
of Great Salt Lake. These bands were
generally mild and inoffensIve. lurking
in the mountains and barren parts, and
having little intercourse with the whites
About 1S49 they were in open war, and
the peace made with some of the bands
at Salt Lake in September, 1855, did
not end il. In 1862 California VOlun-
tcers Under Col. Conner nearly eXter-
minated the HOkandikah, or Salt Lake
DiggerS. in q battle on Bear River
Waushakees and other bands of the
koolsalikara ShOshones made peace at
Fort Bridger, July 2. 1863: Pokatellos
and other bands of the Tookarika at
Box Elder, July 80: the ShoShOco or
TOsowitch at Ruby Valley. Oct. /; and
the ShoshoneS and Bannocks at Soda
Springs, oct. IA. In 1854 the Yahoo-
skin Snakes made peace, and with the
Kiamaths and Modocs ceded their
lands; and ON Aug. Il. 1865. the Wohl-
papes also submitted. The Government
did not properly carry out these
treaties, and many OF the bands renewed
hOstilities In 1867, in the campaign
of Gen Steele, 4 number of Indians
were killed, and immense stores of pro-
visions laid up by the Shoshones were
destroyed. Gen. Augur at last allowed
them to come in and make peace at
Fort Bridger. The Government then
attempted to collect the whole nation
and restrict the Shoshone bands to GER
tain reservations. The YahOoskin and
Wohlpape Snakes had prospered on the
Klamath Reservation, although their
crops frequently failed. The Fort Hall
Reservation in Idaho was begun in 1861
for the Bannocks and several bands of
Shoshones, about 1900 in all. The Sho-
shOne Reservation in Wyoming. set
apart under treaty of July ;, 1868. for
Waushakees and other bands of East
ern ShoshoneS and Bannocks, was ex-
posed to attacks from the Sioux, and
only about 500 united there. There are
also the Northwestern Shoshones in Ne
vada and Utah, estimated at from 1000
to 5000, and band of 400 in the north
western part of Idaho.

millimeters in caliber. The second IL
formed OF two plates of aluminium with
four per cent OF copper, rolled. two
millimeterS in thickness. and covered
with sized canvas. 1t stops the projec-
tile OF the Italian revolver of the 1889

These breastplates are claimed 70 be

Land on the Diminished Strip.
Between Little Wind and Popo Agile
Rivers are about $4,000 acres of irri-
gable land, which will have to be wa
tered from these streams. Storage will
be required. These streams for 4 por-
ton of the irrigation season have water
enough, and if the present system of
farming by the Indians were continued
will always have enough, but If all the
irrigable land is once under cultivation
the normal flow of the streams will be
inadequate for late irrigating.
At the mouth of the South Fork in
Little Wind River Canyon there is stor-
age for about 10000 acre feet. and
above the falls are numerous lakes
which will doubtless afford storage for
all the flood waters required. Meadow
Creek, one of the lesser tributaries. has
flow sufficient to irrisate about 0,000
acres, and it is thought that this area
of irrigable land can be found adjacent
to 1t. The stream, however, sinks in a
cave near the mouth of the canyon,
and in order to utilize the water it will
be necessary to construct a canal 1000
feet long through a limestone ledge.
carrying the stream around the point
channel below, where 1t could then be
taken out on the land.
On the Big Horn River at the mouth
OF the canyon in Owl Creek Mountains
