The Porto Rican Hsuse Of Delegates
has sent this message to President
Roosevelt: "The House Of Delegates
unanimously request you to appoint a sec
rotary Of Porto Rico from among the
natives of Porte Rice, thus giving us an
opportunity to demonstrate our ability
in self government. Such IN act Of JUS
tice will be gratefully received by the
whole country"
Editor William r. Hearst, in an ad-
dress to leaders of the New York State
independence League, again accepted the
State leadership, but with the assurance
that hereafter the league need not ally
itself with either of the old parties, but
could act alone. His term as a Demo-
cratic Representative from New York
had expired and he was freed from all
ties to the Democratic party.
The prohibition forces in the Oklahoma
constitutional convention won a decisive
victory when the provision submitting
the question of prohibition separately to
the people of the new State was adopted
by a vote Of II to Is. On the same
day the Arkansas State Senate defeated
a measure which provided for the sub
uniting to the people at the next State
election the question of license or no
license.
During a dinner at Omaha last week,
Henry NJ. Whitney, the prominent Bos-
ton Democrat, told W. J. Bryan that be-
fore he could secure the East for gov
eminent ownership he would have to de-
clare against confiscation of railroad prop
erty. Bryan replied that he and his
friends would not tolerate such a system.
Whitney then said that if the Harrimans
and Hills kept on in their present path
the people would be driven to the owner
ship idea.
Ex-Secretary Shaw has been elected
president of the Carnegie Trust Company
at New York. Asked as to the effect that
his step would have upon his political
fortunes, he replied "a man by taking
thought may make himself justice of the
peace, but no man in my time by taking
thought has made himself President of
the United States, and those who have
given the subject most serious c%onsidera-
ton nave usually died in disappoint-
ment. Admittedly some of the success
full ones have sought the place, but no
one was nominated because he sought it."
Gov. Stokes and both houses of the
New Jersey Legislature have practically
committed themselves to the principle Of
selecting United States Senator's by popu-
lar vote. The Governor, in his message,
recommended such action as would Sc
cure an expression of the individual voter
as to his choice for Senator. and a bill
to this effect has been introduced in the
Senate by the Republican leader, Mr.. Hill
lery. The Democrats are committed to q
similar course by caucus action, and a
measure to eject the desired result has
been introduced in the lower house. As
the manner of choosing United States
Senator's is prescribed by the federal con-
stitution. no immediate change can be
made, but it is aimed to give the voters
an opportunity of expressing their wishes.

\ business man who conducts a large
bottling establishment in the lower east
side district of New York City has dis
covered that d~eaf-mutes make the most
reliable help that he can obtain. He
commenced about seven years ago by en-
ploying a deaf-mute boy. who filled his
place SO satisfactorily that others were
employed from time to time, until now
there are a dozen or more of these af-
hictcd persons drawing good wages at
this establishment. The employer says
he finds them faithful, and when they
have fully grasped the idea of the task
to be accomplished, rather more inteIIi-
gent than the normal workman. More
over, they are very little given to dissi-
patton.

Uses Three Methods to Pour Money
Into New York Repositories.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
again came to the rescue of the financial
situation in New York by a triple appli-
cation of the resources of the Treasury
Department to prevent a dangerous panic.
He enlarged his recent instructions for
the deposit of customs receipts in regular
repositories to embrace the so-called sub
treasury cities so that the public deposits
in national banks in New York City will
be at once increased by about $15,OOO,-
900 from customs receipts alone. This
action was taken to facilitate the redemp-
ton of 4 per cent bonds of 1907 and also
to render available additional funds Tor
the usual disbursements of the first of the
coming month.
Secretary Cortelyou also ordered the
anticipation of the quarter payments on
registered bonds of the = per cent consols
of 8 3 and the 4 per cent funded loan
Of 1907, and instructed subtreaSury Off
Gals to cash the checks sent out We'd
nesday on presentation, or to cash on pre-
sentation any April coupons belonging to
the bonds of these two loans This inter
est was not due until April and the or
der released approximately 100000 in
addition to the $15,00O,o90 released by
the deposit of customs receipts.
Secretary Cortelyou's action with ref
erence to the deposits of customs receipts
and the anticipation of April interest re-
suited in Immediately relieving the money
market to the extent of about $16,9oO, 900.
OF this amount $15,O0O,00O was deposited
in the depository banks in New York
City, for which government, State, muni-
cipal, approved railroad, Hawaiian, Phil
ippine and Porto Rican bonds were ac-
cepted as security. About S 1,900;OOo has
been paid in interest to April l on regis
tered and cnunon bonds.

To Loc.te Ancient Cia.,.

An expedition to Asia Miner, with the
object of making a survey of the sites of
the ancient cities of that country, to
locate them accurately and construct
maps, has been organized at Cornell uni
versity by Prof. j. r. Sterrett of the
Greek department of that Institution.
Most Of the money for the expedition
has been contributed by wealthy New
York i1nanciers. An attempt will be
made to translate the old Inscriptions,
copies of which will be brought back to
America. The State Department has ar
ranged to secure the necessary passports
for the explorers.

A dispatch from Paris states that at
the next meeting of the academy of sci
ences a paper written by Prof. Keeilickeb,
director Of the geological laboratory at
Naples, will be read, describing the exper-
iments which he made with a special mi
crophonograph in connection with fishes.
These experiments, he claims, prove that
fish, even shell6sh, emit a certain hum
ming, varying their tones and enabling
them to communicate with each other. He
found the gurnet the most %loquacious and
so well qualified as to be entitled to the
nickname 'sea lawyer"

PROFIT IN NEW LAWS.
Roads Win Millions by Abolfshin8
and Freight

Deadhends and Freight
How much have the railroads saved in
revenue by abolishing deadheads? No
body knows exactly, not even the rail-
roads. All the same, it is certain that
the passenger revenues have been Won
derfully stimulated by doing away with
passes. On the southwestern lines, for
instance, it was admitted by Mr.. Stubs
that 10000 passengers formerly rode free
every year as land agents"
An official of the Pennsylvania road ad-
mits that $4,000 trip passes were former
ly issued at Philadelphia every year, COW
ering merely the eastern division of that
system. The deadheads on other lines
have included thousands of politicians,
most of whom travel as much as former
ly, but are now paying fare.
The latest official figures secured by the
interstate commission show the
passenger revenue of all the roads IN the
United States as S472,694, 1872. One of
the most important scalpers OF the coun'
try once roid the interstate
commission that the deadhead and half
fare business of the railroads. if done on
a paying basis. would add % per cent
to the passenger revenues. This is prob
ably an excessive estimate. On the other
hand, Charles Francis Adams, when
president of the Union Pacific road, SAID
that he could add 10 per cent to the pas
senger revenue if he could do away with
passes.
Taking the latter estimate as a basis
for calculation. the abolishing of dead
heads should add 81. 72G,947 to the pas
scnger revenues of American roads. IL
tho Scolnar'c aStip,otn was nearer the
truth, the revenues MAJ easily have peen
increased by SS,OOO,O0O to $10,OOO,OOO.
BY far the greater increase in railroad
revenues. however, during the current
year will be from freight, which are no
longer affected by rebates. The gam Is
somewhere between SO, 100000 and $780,

Prof. Behring, the famous Berlin spe-
cialist on pulmonary diseases, is quoted
as opposing the Pasteur system of puri-
flying milk. He condemns also the ster-
ilizatfon of milk and the boiling of water
to render them inecuous. He says that
boiled milk is unsuitable food for in
fants. and that the boiling of water kills
the elements intended by nature for the
making of bone and sinew True protec-
ton for those who use the milk of cows,
in his opinion, is the production al
healthy cows.

Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who
some months ago succeeded in making
the northwest passage in his little Al
ton BOAT, the Gjoa, has been delivering a
series of lectures in Paris. While he
says that the observations made by him
in the vicinity of the magnetic pole will
prove of considerable scientific value, he
thinks that the northwest passage cannot
be made practicable for purposes of nav
igation, thus dispelling the hope which
has attracted the attention of scientific
uen, as we'll as dreamers, for centuries
