Cleveland on Joseph B. Eoraker.

The country will still recall the eX- citement incident to the presidents order in 1887 for the return to- their various states of the flags and en- signs captured from confederate regi- ments in the civil war. In this up- roar Joseph B. Foraker, then governor of Ohio. took prominent part but MT. Cleveland's tendency to forget or overlook all such episodes. especially when they had a personal bearing. was shown in the discussion of the railroad rate bill in the senate in 1906. When I told him that I ex- pected soon to see Senator Foraker in Washington, he said:
 ''I have not known of anything for years which has pleased me more than the Ohio senator's attitude upon current public questions. Whatever may be the whole truth about the Brownsville case, it has been a dis play of genuine courage for re- publican senator to take the position assumed by MT Foraker. IL is due to him that there has been a real discussion of the presidents action in all its bearing. I have. too. been keenly interested in the profound con tributions made by the senator to the debate on the rate bill. It has been an enormous advantage to sane public opinion to have a protest take the form of such complete and ef- fective legal argument, and that. too. on a side decidedly unpopular I have not the pleasure" he added, "of a personal acquaintance with Senator Foraker. but you are at liberty. if the opportunity presents itself naturally. to repeat 10 him the sentiments I have expressed.

BIG GAIN IN PORTO RICO
 UNDER STARS AND STRIPES
Decade of Uncle sam's Rule Shows Greater Strides Than in 400
 Years Under Spain.

San Juan, Porto Rico, March 24- Special Correspondence of The Re- publican.)-Te years of American rule have done more for Porto Rico than four centuries of Spanish ad- ministration, according to figures compiled here on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the ceding of the island to the United States by the treaty -Of Paris in 1899. Statements of exports and local commerce for the period show with what leaps and bounds this prosperous corner of Un- cle Sam's domain has begun to forge ahead now hat the Spanish lethargy has been thoroughly shaken off, and a review of the achievements of the military and civil governments dis closes a record of which Americans may well be proud.
 Ten years ago the exports from Porto Rico to the United States were valued at $2,414,356. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, they were S25,S91,261, or over ten times that amount. The new figures show a probable further increase for 1909. In 1908, less than s3,000,0OO worth of sugar was exported. Today the total is over S14,000,G0O. In coffee, which used to be the leading staple, the in crease is also marked, although sugar now holds the first place. In every

FAREWELL BANQUET
 BY COMING BENED|CTS
Charles Stauffer and Harry Van Allen Provide a Feed For the "Bachelor's" Club.

A Fare-ye-well dinner was given last night at the Ford hotel to the
 Bachelors club by Harry Van Allen,
 the president of the club and Charles A. Stauffer, the secretary.
 In accordance with the rules of the
 club any of its members who are convicted of the crime of matri- mony are required in punishment thereto to give a banquet to the sur viving members. Members who are suspected of contemplating matri-
 mony are at once elected to office in the club--the higher offices always going to those most strongly suspect ed. In the present instance Mir. Van Allen. whose wedding is not to be till late in the summer was elected to the presidency short while ago, but Mir Stauffer, whose wedding Is an- nounced for April 18th, is of a secre- tive nature, and for this reason had only reached the secretaryship of the club when his taking off became gen orally known.
 MT. Stauffer is to be married to Miss Edith Bennett. While Mir Van Allen will marry d young lady whose home is in Kansas City.
 The banquet nall al the Ford was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The tables were banked with large red and white roses which were pro- vided by the basket full With but one exception, Garrett B. Schuler, who sent regrets. every member of the club was present to partake of the good things provided by the CT ring bachelors. The feed" provil led by the combined resources of Mir. l Stauffer and Mir. Van Allen is one that will long be reme mbered in the history of the club. The usual 'mori- turf salutamus" speeches were re- quired of the two young men who | will henceforth be siT7ply honorary | members of the club and each tried | to explain how it happened, but | 
 Those who were present were: c. | L. Standage, George II. Lutga.ding, | Joseph c. Green, Gus D. Noll, James | Parker. William C. Callahan, Tom Bradford, William NJ. Fickas, Sidney | P Osborn.

brought their indirect return many times over. Further work of this character recently led the govern ment to issue SS, ,000, 900 of 1 Der cent bonds, which were promptly taken by a syndicate in the United States, of which Lawrence Turnure & Co. of New York, A. q. Edwards & Sons of St. Louis, and the Western Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, are the principal members. This assures funds for the further development of the system of harbors and public highways, which the United States engineers, who superintend all such work, have recommended.
 The record of Spain during her four centuries of control is less one of serious maladministration than of sloth and neglect. Although Porto Rico is perhaps the most fertile of the Antilles, it was not until the beginning of the last century that the Spanish government made any at tempts to exploit it. Prior to that time it had been used as a penal colony. In 1870 it became a prov ince of Spain, with representation in the COrtes. By that time there was a large class of "Gibaros" or pros porous Spanish farmers of Andalu- sian stock. No encouragement to- ward systematic farming was of fered, however, by the provincial government. and while the emanci- patton of the slaves in 1873 did not bring about the commsrcial and sO- cial disorganization as elsewhere in the West Indies (the blacks remain ing as freedmen with their masters) the island marked time until 1898.
 The American work of regenera- ton really began in 1898. Public schools were established in the larg- CT towns before the Spanish garrison had evacuated San Juan and Ponce. Hospitals were erected and the same effective campaign of sanitation un- dertaken that brought about such spectacular results in Havana. Al naturally healthy climate has assist ed the government physicians in bringing down the death rate to per fectly normal proportions. The island has now a population of 1,0J0,G00 persons. As in Cuba, the whites greatly outnumber the blacks.

case the new prosperity, which has made these figures possible, is cred ited to the insular government and the sound basis upon which affairs in the island have for the first time been put.
 Go wherever you will. throughout
 the island and you will not lack evidences of the quiet but tireless and effective work of the American administration. Four hundred and thirty-five miles of macadamized roads, in splendid repair. now make communication easy between San Juan and Ponce, and the cities on the west coast Two-thirds of this has been built since the occupation. The railroad around the island, pro- jected by the Spanish, but allowed to hang fire year by year, is now an accomplished fact. Big harbor i'm provements have been made in San Juan and Ponce, and more than a thousand public schools have taken up the work of educating the Porto Rican children-and sometimes the parents.
 In nothing has the efficient work of the insular government been more clearly shown than in the way in which the public finances of the island have been reorganized. For and corrupt methods of tax i.tion under the Spanish regime have been substituted sound fiscal meth ods, and the result has been a sud- den growth of prosperity in the ag- ricultural districts. which furnish the basis of the islands wealth. The net public debt is now less than 8, ,0O0,OO0 or. less than 23 per cent of the assessed valuation. The bulk of this money has been spent in public improvements, which have

 The message was received in the forenoon and as soon as Mir. Page could discover a telegraph blank with out unseemly haste, and recover a bit from the suddenness of the in formation he responded as follows:

 MT. Page was asked if he had any comments to make on the situation and replied that he had none; that the sum total of his information in respect of the matter is contained in the telegrams above given

He showed rather less excitement than having gradually accustom- ed himself to the changing atmos- phere during the blowing of the cross winds for several months past His case, and that of the secretary. has been one of evolution rather than special creation.
 Among the officials dependent upon the fate of the governor and secre- tary there was naturally a sensitive interest in what was going on, but everybody wore a smile, as if deter mined that If official death Were sneaking up behind them they would meet it like heroes.
