INTERESTING DISCLOSURES IN
TREATY CORRESPONDENCE.
Letters From Gov. MacGregor to
Lord Elgin Defining England's
Position on Fisheries.

Much of the diplomatic correspondence
during the year of 1906 between the
United States and Great Britain had to
do with the question of the Newfoundland
fisheries controversy, the full notes OH
which appear in the foreign relations dis
patches of that year. just made public
by the State Department. The contro-
versy happily has been settled for the
time being by a decision to refer the
controverted question to The Hague for
arbitration.
Included in the published correspond
ence are many dispatches passing between
the British foreign Office and the colonial
authorities, a perusal of which indicates
the divergence of views held by the home
government and her dependency on vari-
Gus points raised by the United States
which made it such a difficult and tedious
matter to reach an agreement Oh which
the Newfoundland government was will
ing that the issues involved should go
to arbitration. One of the interesting
dispatches of the series is that from Gov.
Sir w. MacGregor to the Earl OF Elgin,
in which he says that he is desired by his
ministers to state that they have learned
with profound regret that his majeSty's
government had. without reference to the
local government. proposed to the United
States as one of the terms of modus
vivendi the suspension OF the foreign
ed after consultation with his majesty's
government and mainly with view to
enable the government OF the colony to
deal with the local fisheries and thus
secure during. the coming autumn peace
able conduct of the fisheries.

Reply to Opponents.

Cay Coll Cuchi. one of the delegates in
this city. in referring to a telegram from
Porto Rico in which the American Fedora
ton of Labor accuses the house Of dele
gates Of anti-Americanism and pleads for
the continuance of the Foraker law, says:
THE commission from the house does
not think it necessary to answer such
statements. If an anti-American feeling
prevails in the island that would be the
most terrible censure against the local
government. And if there were many
Porto Ricans capable of asking for the
continuance of the Foraker law that
would be the most serious censure against
the country itself.
Fortunately, 1.-THE American Federation
of Labor exists in Porto Rico only nomi-
nally See the statistics of the elections
of 1909: Registered votes, 2O6,Oo5 cast
votes, 15s.1S4: unionist votes cast, 101, Oe''3 !:
republican votes cast, 1892: federation Of
labor, 1927; other parties, 934.
Therefore, he adds. while the Union
of Porto Rico represents more than 63
per cent of the total vote. The American
Federation of Labor represents $50 per
thousand, less than 1 per cent. After ten
years work. Santiago Iglesias, organizer
of the American Federation of Labor, who
draws a pretty good salary, has been able
to obtain only 1897 votes in a territory
where the factory workingmen exceed co.
600, and the country laborers exceed $780,
600.

Complaint of Commission.

AS constituted now the house of dele
gates is the only elective body in Porto
Rico. The other legislative body, known
as the council. has eleven members, six
of whom are Americans, and all appoint
ed by the President.
1t is claimed that as all action by the
house has to be approved by the coun-
Gil the will of the people as expressed
through that body is practically nulli-
fed
The delegates will ask Secretary Bal
linger 10 require the council to be more
liberal in it's dealings with the people
Failing in this, it is the purpose Of the
representatives to go to Congress, with
the hope that action that is not reaction
airy. but liberal, will be taken there.
In their argument before Secretary Bal
linger the delegates will ask that the Gov
ernor of Porto Rico be given certain pow
ers he does not now possess, including
those possessed by the governors of ter
ritories of the United States. The duties
of the secretary, the attorney general and
other officers they would change and lib
eralize. and other marked changes are
proposed in the government of the islands
as constituted under the Foraker act.

Ballinger Today.
1E IN HUNDRED OPPOSED

The characterization of Porto Rico is
declared TO be the mission to this coun-
try of a delegation Of members of the
legislature of that island.
The delegates are quartered at the New
Willard Hotel. Late this afternoon they
will hold a conference with Secretary Of
the Interior Ballinger.
The members of the party, leading
members Of the Porto Rican house of
delegates. are Louis Munoz Rivera, Cay
Coll Cuchi and Eugene B. Castanos. They

potism to a greater degree than the gov
eminent accorded the people by the mon
archy OF Spain.

centers of maximum disturbance, the
greatest being under the Strait OF Mes
sina, and the other two near Palma
and Monteleone in Italy. On other oc-
casions some OF these centers have
been successfully active, but this time
they were simultaneously In action.
This appears to indicate some deep
seated connection between them. The
total area disturbed by the Messina

than 100000 square miles.
Commenting on the recent announce
ment Of the discovery of new rival
of radium," called radiothor, and to
which wonderful properties are said to
have been ascribed by It's discoverer,
DR.. Bailey, OF Chicago Frederick Sod
dy remarks that the description Of this
substance bears an obvious resem-
blance to ra0lo-thorium, which has
been we'll known for some time. The
cheapness of the new substance Is ex-
plotted, but radio-thorium can be OBJ
tanned from the thorium salts which
are manufactured by the ton In the
Welsbach mantle industry, and Profess
sorRutherford long ago suggested that
1t might servo as a cheap and effect
i've substitute for radium for many
purposes. Thorium produces meso-
thorium, and from meso-thorium comes
forth radio-thorium. Its activity Is not
permanent, like that Of radium, but 1t
would last for many years, and for
most purposes would be as valuable
as radlum.
Just as the British Association for
the Advancement Of Science has &C
cepted invitations to hold sessions In
Canada and South Africa. so the Amer
lean association bearing a simllarname
Is now seriously considering the ad-
visibility Of accepting the invitation
of Hawaii to meet in 1910 in those
islands. At its recent Baltimore meet
