A DISPUTE ENDED
QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP OF
PORTO RicAN LANDS Salts.
FACToRlLY SETTLED.
CHURCH CLAIMS TO Be PAID
The Settlement Was Negotiated by
Assistant Secretary Of State
Bacon--Congress Must
Approve.

San Juan, p. r., Aug. 15.-After
having satisfactorily settled the ques.
tons in dispute between the federal
government and the Catholic church
in Porto Rico, arising out Of the con-
troll of estates formerly owned by the
Dominican and Franciscan orders, AS.
sistant Secretary of State Robert
Bacon sailed for New York Wednes-
day on the steamer San Juan.
Under the agreement reached the
federal government will obtain, sub
ject to the approval of congress, con-
troll of the Santo Domingo convent
building and its lands and the land oc-
cupied by the infantry barracks, pay
ing therefor $4,000. The insular
government will receive. if the agree
ment is sanctioned by the insular leg
islature, the market place, the San
Francisco barracks, and the insane
asylum and the land surrounding it,
paying $lS0,O00 for them in three in
stallments. The church. in addition
to the money considerations, will OBJ
tain under the agreement a chapel
and 62 acres of land near San Juan.
This disposes of the last of the
church claims. The question has
caused protracted litigation and dis
cussion in six legislatures. The in
sular courts have decided some points
in favor of both parties and appeals
were taken to the United States SUI
preme court. Those appeals now will
be withdrawn.
The church land question in Porto
Rico involved the right of the Roman
Catholic church to control various
property valued at about 100000,
formerly owned by the Dominican and
Franciscan orders. The estates were
alienated by the action of the Spanish
government in 1888, but the Catholic
church alleged that the act was not
properly carried into effect and sought
to have them restored alleging that
the church was especially dependent
since the United States came into au-
thority in the island and separated
the church from the state.

ADVISED NEGROES TO ARM
PASTOR AT CHICAGO COUNSELS
RESISTANCE TO MOB VIOLENCE.
Chief Of Police Declares Chances for
Race War in Chicago Are
Very Remote.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Five hundred
members of the congregation of Quinn
chapel, one of the leading negro
churches in this city, were told by
their pastor, Rev. D. p. Roberts Sun
day to arm themselves and be pre-
pared to defend their homes in the
event of an outbreak here similar to
that at Springfield.
"Arm yourselves and be men, he
said. IF raging mob surrounds
your home protect your household;
and when the man who would ruin
your family and destroy your property
steps across the threshold let him
step across the body of a dead man."
He declared that America is cow
ardly nation which with power to defy
the world refuses to grant protection
to innocent and defenseless people 40
years ago removed from slavery, be-
cause of the color. Talks with men,
bers of the congregation showed that
the negroes feared an outbreak in
Chicago and that many of them were
making preparations for it. The
chances for a race war here were de-
clared by Chief of Police Shippy, how
ever, to be remote, since any mob eff
fort could be effectually crushed out
by the mounted police and drill squad.
Unofficial orders were issued by the
police headquarters to inspectors Of
police to take quick action in cases
Of quarrels between negroes and
whites and promptly to quell all dis
turbances that might grow into clash
of races. He declared that it was nc
to be inferred from his order that
danger of trouble existed, but that it
was purely precautionary measure.
"The police department he added,
"by the addition OF the drill squad of
62 men and the mounted squad of So
men all available at five minutes no
tice is prepared to meet all emer-
gencies and the aid of the militia is
something we never expect to have to
appeal for"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so MUCH starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tie
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
Or strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen.
er makes half the usual quantity o.
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

Mr.. Gibson says that he never really
forsook the Gibson Girl during his stay
of almost a year abroad, but was
studying to improve her, to find more
types, and to see things at q fresh

ALL THE COMFORTS
 OF PRISON LIFE

From the Wide World Magazine.
 We also visited the prison at Pod gortza, where we found a strange col lection of men and women. There was II saintly-looking pope, who had ap- propriated the funds of his church. He was dressed in priests robes, and did the honors of the place. We saw sew eraI convicts who were being kept in solitary confinement, and pushed cigar cites to them between the bars. They seemed to feel the boredom most; oth- erwise they have an easy time. They 6o little work in summer and still less in winter. and a great part of the day is spent in sleep. The cells looked far more comfortable than barrack- rooms, and the prisoners of Montenegro evidently have little to complain of.
 There were 10 or 12 women there. These were nearly all guilty of infanti- eide. When came into their quarters they rushed at me, seized my hands and kissed them. and tried to make me sit down and talk to them. But, as I could not understand a word they said, and one of them looked very mad, I made my escape as soon as possible.

1t Was " A Grand Ball.v

From the Tribunes Report of Chicagos s
 Annual Slum Orgy, the First Ward
 Democratic Clubs Ball.
 It was grand ball. It was the grandest bali the First ward Democracy ever gave. It was so grand that it interfered with business. Walters could not force their way through the massed thousands to reach their tables with orders
 The smoke from thousands of ci- garettes and cheap cigars hoated up to the ceiling inside the Coliseum and grad ally was packed down to the foor-a dn- gy. i'll smelling fog through which ob jects thirty feet away were indiscernible.
 When women fainted-as they did con- stantly-they had to be lifted over the heads of the writhlng mass surrounding the boxes and the dance floor and pass ed from hand to hand to the nearest open exit
 Women fainted-gangwayr was fre- quent cry. It was followed by the pass ing of an inert form in beraggled skirts, actually and physically over the heads of men and women so closely packed that they could not make way if they had so desired.
 The unfortunates inside fought to get out. The unfortunate outside fought to get in. Two national conventions have been held in that building, but there never was a time when many thousands tried to get in the place or a time when 80 many stood outside and fought in hopeless attempts to get in.
 Inside, the mob, crazed by it's own numbers, upset tables, smashed bottles and glasses, demolished chairs, climbed the iron girders in efforts to get out of the way, knocked over walters, invaded the boxes, filled the gallery and the stair ways, crowded the basement and finally gained such pressure in numbers that 1t broke one of the alley doors and spilled fifty unfortunates into the alleyway
