OPPOSED THE SCREW PRO-
PELLER.

Screw propellers. like most other in
ventions. had great dhsculty In get
ting recognition from authority. For
instance. Sir William symonds, sur
veyor and principal designer TO the
British admiralty, could not be brought
to believe in them. He declared that
steamships OF any sort were ''mon-
strous'' and that the screw was i'm
possible. The day came when choice
between paddie-wheels and screw pro-
peller had to be made. The naval au-
thoritiss tied two ships stern to stern,
and when the screw propelled vessel
had triumphed over the paddle steam
er in this ludicrous tug of war the
lords of the admiralty felt justified In
modelling the British navy anew.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTION
FOR THE CHINESE EMPIRE

The N. C. Daily News states that.
as originally worded the recent Chi
nese Imperial Edlct promised to grant
a Constitution in three years time.
1. appears that this was altered into
"a few years In consequence of urgent
representations made to the Dowager
Empress by Itch Liang. Grand Coun-
Revenue, who is at the head of the OPP
position to the proposed changes.
The same journal remarks that there
is no doubt, from news received from
the Capital, that His Majesty the En-
peror is thoroughly in sympathy with
the question OF a Constitutional Gov
eminent. but, like the Empress Dow
ager, recognizes the unfltness OF the
people under present circumstances to
undertake self-government. His Maj
esty's insistence upon the Importance
of beginning this era OF reform by the
reorganization of the official system
has no meaning I'm 1t other than the
cleansing in earnest of the Augean
STABLES of the Mandarinate, This, as
every student OF Chinese history must
recognize, contains the key Of the whole
situation.
In view Of the great Importance OF
the Chinese Imperial Edict regarding
the proposed grant of a Constitution,
we supplement the version already
given in our columns by the following
full translation from the North China
Daily News:
"In obedience to the instructions of
her Imperial Majesty the Empress
Dowager, the Emperor issues the fol-
lowing decree: Ever since our Impe-
rial House began to rule this Empire
we have ever had the best interests
of the people in our hearts and have
always taken up anything that at the
time seems advantageous to our sub
jects. At the present day we hold re-
lations with the various nations Of the
| earth and learn that there is amongst
them a mutual interdependence on and
with each other and this leads us to
consider our own position, which seems
pressing and fraught with danger. UNI
less we seek for wise and experienced
men to assist US in the government
of the Empire. For this reason we sent
a special mission Of high officials to
visit various parts of the world to en-
quire into the system OF government In
them Our High Commissioners, Duke
Tsai Tsen and his colleagues, have
now returned from their travels, and In
all their reports to us they are unani-
nous in the declaration that the main
cause of the backward condition of this
Empire is due to the lack Of confidence
between the highest and lowest, be-
tween the throne and ministers and
the masses. Indeed, officials know not
how to protect the people, whilst. on
the other hand. 1t follows that the peo-
pie are ignorant Of how to guard the

REVENUE
AFFECTED

A terrific fall in real estate might
be inferred from recent conveyances.
Yet the inference would probably, if
tested by actual facts, prove to be
altogether mistaken one. What is
happening is most likely the falsifica-
tion of real estate transfers to save
stamp duty.
For instance, according to the regis
ter. piece of land has been sold for
so which cost $3.50 few weeks ago.
The stamp duty on the second deed is
81, as compared with So on the first.
A writ of mandamus was granted by
Judge De Bolt few days ago direct
ed to Registrar Merriam, commanding
him to record deed stamped with
81 conveying property previously con
veyed for consideration of $4,000,
also assessed for that amount for taxes,
with the consideration now named as
S25, Notwithstanding it had been shown
that the petitioner for the writ had
refused both the Registrar and the
Territorial Treasurer IS demands that he
furnish an affidavit of the actual CON
sideration.
An appeal from that decision TO the
Supreme Court is pending and it is
the opinion of some lawyers outside
Of the Attorney Generals department
that Judge De Bolt will be overruled
In the meantime such examples of
nominal considerations in deeds as the
one mentioned above may be expected
TO accumulate. II Judge De Bolt be

deeds win no doubt be the rule, until
the law has been changed.

BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-03-23

The American press agrees with
our characterization of the functiona-
ries who live in State government
quarters.
Opinion in that country views with
Iastonishment and surprise the fact
that colonial officials use the State
edifces for their private residences
Touching this practice, the public
press INDUCES in ironical and sar.
castle comments, which we have
reproduced, and without any intent
ion of giving offence to the funct-
ionaries, least of alto Mr. Post,
whose friendship and good will we
desire to secure at any cost.
After all that has been said, the
dexterous juggler surely will not
believe what has been told of us,
that we take pleasure in reproducing
all that is said by the American
press derogatory of the congregantes,
and of him especially as the recogn-
lied head of the redemptionist clique.
Such is not our intention.
Far from repeating in the very
ears of the functionary everything
that may annoy him or wound his
feelings, we propose to regale him
with lyric recitations, in an inspired
and poetic language discovered by
the congregantes and used by them in
describing and picturing the beaut-
les of our skies and the grandeur of
our scenery, but never in any way
~ Of +f0 Leland
It may be due to environment or
to contagion, we cannot say, but the
fact remains that we are beginning
to experience feeling of sympathy
and tenderness towards Mr.. Post,
and our publishing yesterday the
paragraph in The Ohio State Journal
and our intention to continue re-
producing notices ola similar import,
is not with the idea of overwhelming
the celebrated scene -shifter, but in
order to prove that we are not alone
in the knowledge, and the sole one to
comment on the sponging proclivities
of the Insular bureaucrats.
No doubt the American press will
realize the propriety of modifying its
judgment-as we have ourselves
touching this matter, as soon as it 1e
arms of the action of the Legislative
Assembly in authorizing the congre
gantes to occupy the State buildings
as residences.
And after ALL Mr., Post has done
nothing more than anticipate the ge
neral desire. The lower House
which is the representative Of popu
lar sovereignty, has given the con
gregantes the right to appropriate
these edifces to their OVID use.
Therefore, the American pres
knows, and the national government
and the people know, that the coun-
