prepag ganda Of Portorican coffee.
Various Portoricans, better quali-
fed and with more legitimate claims
than Mr.. Truxton sought the Dosf.
among others Mr.. O'Nefl1. who speaks
English perfectly, who is familiar
with the great NewYork markets hay
ing lived in that city tor many years.
and who lives there now. notwith-
standing the fact that his most
just claim for being made the
official agent for Portorican coffee in
the above city was denied.
But Mr.. Winthrop, as in the mat
ter of free domicile, places the blame
for the naming of Mr.. Truxton upon
the natives.
Our political leaders are again
drawn into conspicuous place IN ..
manner that does them little credit
particularly after their action in req
gard to the seventh section of the
Appropriation Act, which was inspir-
ed by the same Mr.. Winthrop, iudg-
ing from his own words before The.
Comlttee of Insular Affairs. After
examining the manner in which the
signatures attached TO that sbentan<Ous
csblcgram of felicita ton sent to Mr..
Foraker were obtained, it can be-
readily understood that the letters of
the gentlemen who recommended Mr.
4ruxton were also sought by one who
had some special reason for desiring
the naming of functionary who
knows nothing of the coffee business.
who is not a Portorican, neither is
person in any way experienced in
commercial pursuits, after rejecting.
among other POrtoricans better quail
ltled than Mr. Truxton, Mr.. ONeill.
of whom we have spoken before.
The above is a true statement of
things; and it certainly is deplor-
s%le and painful realization that in
the midst of circumstances so inpor-
tant and vital as are the present ones.
and by a person of the prominence
of Governor Winthrop-who has been
called to Washington for the purpose
OF stating the exact facts regarding
here-tbat what is trans
plring in Porto Rico is not frankly
stated, that It IS made to appear as if
the colony sanctioned, recommended
and approved all the abuses commit
ted by the reverend congregation.
and that It alone IS responsible for
everything that is done amiss.
The brief corrections which We
are making IN the statements of Alr.
We believe to be absolutely
necessary.
There are dangerous inaccuracies
n the declarations of the Governor
which we are unwilling to allow TO
20 uncontradicted.
Our refutations are both opportune
and necessary. As an offset to re-
ports which are inspired in the most
interest, should bee
heard the clear voice Of truth.
1t is our duty to speak.

III now begins to look as if the
sowing of the ft1ncs ionaries who ha-
I've been enjoying domicile, light and
water gratis, in addition to receiving
salaries TOO large for the services
performed, would be an accomplish
led fact.
The members. of the Committee OF
Insn1ar Affairs are. il appears, con-
Ivinced that the oongregantes have
here committed a vcritable abuse,
against which the stones in the street
have risen IN protest, in spite of the
fact that an inconceivable law which
was approved by the last Assembly
pretended to demonstrate the con-
trary.
Nobody doubts that at the present
time the congrcgantes have gone be-
yo1d oil bounds in their actions; not
even Governor Winthrop, who appears
SO given to Judging charitably the
acts of his colleagues and who has adj
wanced the excuse. that the unlawful
occupants of the State edifces have
paid for the water and light which
they consume since the House of De-
leg2tes authorized their living in
the above buildings.
According to otir information, pre-
|cisely what the Governor affirmed is
'uncerts in. The functionaries have
not paid single Dill for either light
or water. because that would be a
recognition on their part that they
ought f0 nav for them
The bureaucrats have paid moth
ing; they have not paid Single bill
TOR light or water. Has any one
seen any receipts for such payments?
And if the accounts for water and
light had been settled by the congre-
gantes, would not the receipted bills
have been photographed, made pu-
bic and been conspicuo sly shown by
oftcious newspapers devoted to the
interests of the reverend congrega-
tion?
When nothiug Of this kind has oc-
cured, it is plain evident that Mr..
Winthrop has been led, by his desire
to shield the undeserving congreg-
antes, into the error of imagining that
certain funtionaries pay for the light
and water which they consume.
The Governor has fallen into anot-
her error regarding the mysterious
origin of the granting of the Pink
Palace as a free residence to the
Secretary Of Porto Rico.
In the declarations of Mr.. Whit
hrop. President Mckinley is spoken

cession; but is it not a positive fact
that Mr.. Hartzell was appointed Sc
cretary of Porto Rico by Mr.. Roose-
welt after the tragic death of Presi-
dent Mckinley
And furthermore. the statements
of the Governor are inexact when he
asserts that no native was proposed
for the place now filed by Mr.. Trux-
tun as agent in New York for the

Gigantic Trust to Absorb the
Entire Alcohol DisGIIing
Business
Product Could Be Used in the
Manufacture of Mercerized
Cotton and other Fabrics

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The Standard
Oil Company has taken steps to-
ward acquiring the ownership of all
the principal distilling plants in the
United States, according to a special
dispatch from Peoria, ILL.,, to the
Tribune. The chief reason of this
action was the recent passage of the
alcohol bill by Congress.
Experts employed by the Rookie
Teller interests, after experimenting,
have reported that their product can
not be manufactured eheaply enough
to make any serious competitors of
gasoline, but that it could be used
in the manufacture of mercerized
cotton and other fabrics and would
be an extremely favorable product
to control.
