The steamer Lurline brought six
cars Tor the Won Hamm Young Com
pany this week Among same are
three Overlands, one of the baby ton
neau touring car type-a very popular
type IN the Islands at present This
car was shipped on the Claudine to
the Volcano Stables
Another Overland, equipped with
dashing torpedo body, arrived for DR.

greatly adnLred by the Doctors

be one of the most up TO date cars
In town.
This leaves only one Overland out
Of the carload Just received and it is
only question Of a day or two be-
fore it is snapped up by one nf the
number Of prospective purchasers ad-
miring same.
The Lurline also brought one of
the popular Hupmobile runabouts for
The Won Hamm Young Company. The
Hupmobile is one of the most popular
cars among the class selling below
$1,000 and has won it's way into every
city on the mainland, and for a dash
ing little runabout, reliable and
speedy, it is hard to beat.
The Lurline further brought one Of
the splendid Lozier motor cars. This
car was specially ordered by Mr.
George R. Carter while he was in the
East. 1t is of the Lakewood type
that is, resembling a torpedo body
with special chauffeur's seat on the
side which is fastened to one of the
rear doors and put out of the way
when the door is locked. His new
Lozier car has preceded Mr.. Carter
by few weeks. Is came along with
Mr. Carter's famous WEIGH car, in
which Mr.. Carter has made triI

RECIPROCITY FIRST.

Discredt IL thrown on the predictions
which have been coming from Washing
ton that the House Of Representatives
would decide to treat the reciprocity
agreement with Canada "as hostage
letting the bill to carry It into effect
wait until II was seen what the Senate
and the President were going to do with
the single schedule tariff revision bills
which the Democratic majority in the
lower house has it's heart set on passing.
e She leaders are able to control the COM
Ing caucus the way will be cleared for
prompt enactment of the reciprocity
agreement 1t may be, however, that the
temptation to play politics will over
come their inclination TO take up first
and finish first the business for which
Congress has been reassembled out OF
season. Partisanship is blind. and mem
bers Of Congress too often lose sight OF
the larger advantage while trying to
score some petty victory In parliamentary
tactics.
Democrats away from Washington are
open minded enough TO see that the
party has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by meeting the President
half way and giving a reciprocity meas
ure first place on the sessions pro-
gramme. THE Philadelphia Record
does not hesitate TO say that comfy

requires that the reciprocity compact
should he acted upon promptly. 1t COM
mends the President for combining his
message of Tuesday last strictly to one
subject. even putting aside his often ex-
pressed wish for the creation Of q per-
manent tariff commission. and adds:
In the estimation Of most Democratic
members Of the House IT would be most
unseemly treatment OF the Executive TO
shunt aside the only business for which
the extra session is called to take UP
other subjects no matter how important.
What Is even of more serious concern ID
that such a course Of proceeding might
endanger the very object which the extra
session is invited to consider.
A policy Of directness and candor In
dealing with the reciprocity agreement
would benefit the Democratic party
more than policy Of insincerity and
iEdirection possibly could. Whether it
will follow the suggestions of common
sense remains TO he seen. There can

ANOTHER REPORT on CENTRAL
PARK

New York has now another experts
opinion OH the way 10 restore Central
Park. Mr.. Maynadier. Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. holds
that resOllins will not he necessary. He
is not the first of those consulted, OIL
cially or unofiicially, with regard to the
park in the last ten years who has held
that 1t should be treated Just as the in
teligent farmer treats his farm, but the
prevailing vicw hitherto has been that
resoiling is necessary. and it is not pos
sible TO see how the sowing and plough
ing in Of clover could be applied to the
woodland Of the park. which Is suffering
quite as seriously as the grassland. Be

humus in this way. Mr.. Maynadier
thinks the park chiefly needs system OF
subsurface drainage and provision for
irrigation. About the necessity for these
two things there Is no room for dispute
among experts. lad II been possible to
irrigate the park effectively during the
long drouth Of last summer its condition
would have been much better this spring.
We hope, now that this latest expert
has expressed his Judgment, that some
thing will be done. 1t Is not Of so much
Importance that the most scientific way
OF restoring the fertility Of the park
should be adopted as that some common
sense method should he applied quickly.
Had resoilng been employed intelligently
when 1t was first proposed, few years
ago, much that-has since been lost might
have been saved and much progress
might have been made toward the
growth of healthier vegetation. Resoil-
ing may not be the most practicable and
least expensive method, but 1t is q method
which has obvious utility. Had the plan
Of planting and ploughing I'm clover or
some similar crop been followed few
years ago the meadows would have been

tendents elsewhere have for Years been
ploughing in green vegetation where
lawns have become worn out by use, and
with success. They exercise common
sense while New York IS accustomed TO
watching the decay of its parks and de-
batting about the best way to arrest it.
Commissioner Slower has now an oppor-
tunity to prove that he is not the dream

toward restoring Central Parks fertility
and putting an end to the proiitless dis

Interest In polar research and advent

North It has not. however, destroyed
the fascination Of the Antarctic regions
nor lessened the zeal Of Adventures for
following in the fancied wake Of Gordon

o. the Austral Continent, and fourth Is

pole
Captain Roald Amundsen went in DR..
Nansen's old ship, the Fran, to King Ed
ward VII Land and thence to a point
Oh the Great Icy Barrier which seemed
to afford entry to the interior Of the
continent. There he went into winter
quarters and sent the ship back to
Buenos Ayres. Captain Robert j. Scott,
of the British navy, went In the Terra
Sound. about FIVE hundred miles from
Captain Amundsen. and there went into
winter quarters and sent his ship to
New Zealand. Captain Shirase, with his
japanese expedition. left Wellington
early in February and expected 10 land
on King Edward VII Land by the mid
die Of March II Is not known whether
they have succeeded or not, but there
is much doubt Of their ability Ia effect
q landing so late in the season. IT may
be observed in passing that they profess
t. be seeking not the pole but new seal
ing grounds. Finally, Lieutenant Fitch
ners German expedition will set out on
May .. Whether II will try TO make 4
midwinter landing or will tarry In tenn
perate climes until spring and then push
forward in December or January is not
yet stated.
Chief sympathy will naturally be given
TO Captain Scott, who is the legitimate
successor Of SIR Ernest Shackleton. The
field is. however. free and open TO all
Corners so long as they do not infringe
upon one another's chosen routes. Cap
tain Amundsen has carefully avoided
any appearance of clashing with Captain
Scott. and II is to be assumed that the
other expeditions will be similarly scru-
puous. Apart from the simple reaching

Mr.. WADERO'S DEMANDS.

The so-called "ultimat um" of Mr.. Ma
dero, the leader Of the organized NeXi-
can Insurgents. will he regarded with
some regret. though perhaps not with
much surprise. by those who take it seri-
ously. TO what extent ii Is to he taken
seriously is al open question. The fault
which Cannin. imputed to the Dutch In
commerce, of giving too little and ask
ing too much, is not unknown In diplo-
ma tic negotiations. including those for
The making Of peace, and It is by no
means inconceivable that Mr.. Madero
has In these demands set standard
from which he is willing to recede. and
that his ''ultimatum" Is not even a
penultimatum. but merely preliminary
proposition intended to serve as the basis
Of further bargaining If that were not
the case. and if the demands which he
now makes were actually an irreducible
minimum, we should be compelled TO
think either that he was somewhat over
confident or that the revolutionary move
ment was even more widespread and
formidable than recent events have indi-
Gated.
The cruy Of the demands. as now form
Mated. is that President Diaz shall re-
sign his Office The issue is made purely
personal. as though it were directed
against an hereditary autocrat instead
of the constitutional chief magistrate of
n republic There is no material discus
sion Of the efficiency and sufficieDcy of
the reforms which the Mexican govern
ment is even now in process of enactins.
Everything else is subordinated TO the
one demand for the removal Of General
Djaz and the substitution Of another man
as President, How that demand Will be
regarded by General Diaz himself the
only person competent TO deal with II,
we do not know but from detached
and tlisinterested point Of view 1t seems

nm STATES AND INTERSTATE

The decision Of Judge Sanborp. of the

The suggestion is not startling one.
