What seems promising in all this,as well as in the other great agricul-tural enterprises, back of the visiblematerial progress achieved, is the co-operation in business of Porto Ricanswith Americans. In banking, ship-ping, and in several recently organizedcompanies to carry on local enterprises,the same truth Is noticeable. Thisat least seems plain: whatever theymay think of us in other respects, thePorto Rican who wants to make mon-ey sees that his interests are boundup with the American. The PortoRican acknowledges, at least by deed,that he is behind the times. When hedoes that, his state of mind is en-lightened; when he goes ahead, and,instead of blocking progress, helps tointroduce and welcomes the new meth-ods, he is unmistakably exhibiting

Much of the best class ofthe island population in the Spanishtime was interested in coffee cultureand expor t. All these people have suf-fered heavy losses, labor with capital.It is natural perhaps, but unreason-able, to associate the cyclone ofwhich destroyed two-thir- ds of the cof-fee trees, with the American occupa-tion. A juster contention is, of course,,the great drop in prices directly attrib-utable to the change in government.Brazilian coffee controls the Americanmarket, where the Porto Rican productat a higher price has not been properlyappreciated, and much of the foreignmarket, formerly certain, has beenlost. But even at the present lowprices there is plenty of money in cof-fee. Redemption of abandoned landsand new planting have been, and aregoing forward rapidly, and, accordingto estimates in the Department of theInterior, the coffee crop for ths yearwill be fully up to the normal again.Moreover, we learn from the recentstatistics already alluded to, which arenow common property, that the valueof the coffee exported to this countryhas increased from $21,000 last year to$500,000 for the present year. 1902-- 3.

Such material evidences of change astrolley-car- s, telegraph, telephone, andother electrical appliances, equipacreson the roads, and the great transforma-tion evident in agriculture, significantin themselves as they at first seem,might not be any true Indication ofpopular sentiment. Porto RUansmight welcome the wealth-producin- gor convenient reforms of the Ameri-canos, with hate in their hearts all thetime for the foreign invaders. Effect-ive Americanization must go deeper.

Three years is a short time in wkichto work visible changes in the life ofa people, but that changes have takenplace during that time in the drens,manners, and customs of the Porto-Rica- n

SUGAR AND TOBACCO.The American occupation has revo-

lutionized the methods of sugar andtobacco production in Porto Rico, yetit is a fact that the total output ofsugar for the present year, 105,000 tons,an increase of fifty per cent, over theprevious year, is more than 66,000 tonsshort of the largest crop producedby the Spaniards in 1879. This ap-parent inconsistency in favor of thebanner years prior to 1898 is, however,easily accounted for by the larger areaat that time under cultivation, as wellas by unusual conditions in those years.After the war the crop fell off heavily,no more land was taken up. and land

A Profitable Investment and much better adapted, either for

ey. The transformation there Is evenmore complete than in the sugar dis-trict. Valleys, hills, and mountainsare planted almost continuously withtobacco. The regularly marked culti-vation seems to be spreading with therapidity of some great plague of natureinto districts where it was never knownbefore. Near Caguas the Porto

Tobacco Company haserected a large new factory, in additionto the building already occupied by itin San Juan. Before the Americanoccupation, and within the last threeyears, most Porto Rican export to-bacco was sent to Cuba for manufac-ture. The reason for this was two-fold: lack of maaufaeturing facilitieson the island, and the very small pro-portion of native product suitable forwrappers. Many a cigar with a Por-to Rican filler has been sold in theStates, wrapped in fine Cuban leaf, asa Cuban product. The establishmentof new factories, which give employ-ment to all the cigar makers on theisland, has obviated one defect. Thewrappers are also coming along. Afew miles out of Cayey two hundredacres of tobacco are tying grown undercheese cloth, a process which gives ah?af of the finest texture.

It is reassuring to know that thegained from appearances of

HttTT TTTTttf t t t f 1 f T f TTTTTNEW STEAMERS FOR HONOLULU. i

The promised new line of steamers j

for Honolulu is soon to become a real-ity if reports in the Tacoma Ledger areto be believed.

R. A. Alley & Co have been contem-plating the establishment of a Vancouv-er-Australian line for some time,and Mr. Alley was in Honolulu a fewmonths ago canvassing the situation.The Ledger says:

"The first vessel of the new steam-ship line between Tacoma and Austra-lia and New Zealand, the establishmentof which, in connection with the opera-tion of the New American-Australia- nWoolen company has been given pre-vious announcement in The Ledger,will arrive in this port in October, andthere will be sailings every four weekshereafter.

"The new line includes four bigsteamships and is to be known a6 theAm tralian. Canadian & Puget Soundline. Tacoma will be the home portfor the liners on this side, and R. A.Alley & Co. will be the general agents,with offices in this city.

"The company has made arrange-ments with the Northern Pacific rail-way operating in connection with it onthe same manner as do the Orientalliners; the railway company solicitingand booking business for it all over

j the country, and acting as carrier for! the eastbound freight brought in.

Freight for the new line is alreadyj being booked by the agents here.

"The route to be traveled by the line' is almost a straight one from Puget

Sound to Auckland, New Zealand. On! this side the liners will make Tacoma

the home port and will call regularlyboth going ana coming at vancouveiB. C, and when there is freight offer-ing for outward cargo at Seattle.

"The only stop between Vancouver,B. C, and Auckland, is at Honolulu,though of course this new line of boatsbeing of British flag will not be allowedto take freight from Tacoma for there.They may, however, carry cargo fromVancouver for the Hawaiian Islands.In New Zealand the liners will call atWellington, besides Auckland, andfrom thence go to Sydney, N. S. W.,where they will make connections withthe New Zealand and South Africanline steamers for all the principal portsof Australia and South Africa.

"The homeward voyage is to be madefrom Sydney up the Australian coastto Brisbane and thence to Suva, FijiIslands, from there to Honolulu and onto Tacoma.

"The establishment of the new lineis the result of more than a year's workby Mr. Alley, who initiated the projectas a part of the big woolen mills en-terprise. The line is not only backedby the Northern Pacific railway andthe woolen mills company at this endof the line, but by the big stock andwool growers and some of the strongestfinancial institutions of the Australianislands. Mr. Alley is now in England,where he went to complete the dealfor the steamship line, and completethe financing of the big woolen com-nan- v.

He is expected to return thisfall, and plans will be completed for jerecting the immense woolen mills InWest Tacoma the first thing in thespring."

SOLACE TO BE HERE SATURDAY.

The United States naval transportSolace was at Midway on Saturday.

Paymaster Rhodes received a private icablegram yesterday from EnsignBricker who is on the Solace saying"Am coming on the Solace. Will bein Friday or Saturday." The cable-gram was sent from Midway.

Bricker and Rhodes were together inAsiatic waters.

The Solace will probably not makea very long stay in Honolulu. Shehas been on a voyage through the Phil-ippines and Orient and is returning tothe States with officers and men. Shestopped at Midway on the return tripto take mail.

THOMAS MAT GET IN TODAY.

The transport Thomas may arrivethis afternoon from San Francisco.She left San Francisco on September1st and should make the run down inseven days, though Captain William-son does not expect her until tomor-row. There has been a good deal ofspeculation over the fact that the

i Thomas is to stop here, as she bringsI

neither passengers nor freight for thisport. She will not take coal, and it isthe belief in some quarters that thecoming of the Thomas is the result ofan order making Honolulu a regularport of call.

One Of America' Largest CompaniesOpens Business In Honolulu

Mr. Frank M. Hall, western managerfor The United States Fidelity andGuaranty c ompany of Baltimore, Md.,is in the city in the interest of his com-pany, which has decided to ODen anagency in Honolulu for the ouroose ofextending its business to the last bitof United States territory not hereto-fore covered by them.

The United States Fidelity and Guar-anty Company is one of the largestbonding concerns in America, and isnot only entered in every state in theUnion, but In every county in everyState. It has a cash capital of $1,500,-000.0- 0,

and a surplus of over a milliondollars, making It one of the strongestcorporations of its kind in the world.

It is an opportune time for Mr. Hallto enter his company in this territory,for when the County Act goes into effect in January next, county officerswill have to give bonds aggregatinghundreds of thousands of dollars, andthe probabilities are that few individuals will care to take the resoonsibility of attaching heir names to officialbonds when their office holder friendscan get surety bonds without any personal expense, the law providing thatthe counties themselves shall pay hepremiums on bonds placed in suretycorporations.

Section 61 of the County Act reauiresbonds from county officials in r mountsnot less than the following: Treasurer.$20,000; County Clerk, $5,000; Auditor,$10,000; Sheriff, $10,000; Assessor andTax Collector, $30,000; District Attor-ney, $10,000; Recorder, $10,000; Survey-or, $10,000; District Magistrate, $1,000;Road Supervisor, $5,000.

Besides official bonds the Fidelityand Guaranty Company issues fidelitybonds for bank and mercantile em-ployes, lodge officials and persons inany positions of trust, customs and internal revenue bonds, and all sorts cfjudicial bonds.

Mr. Hall has placed the agency of hiscompany with the Henry Waterhou-s-Trust Company, whose equipment andstanding are such as to insjre his com-pany good returns from this terri-tory.

WHAT IS PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-ment and, while adapted to all the or-dinary uses of a liniment, has qualitieswhich distinguish it from other reme-dies of this class. Pain Balm is es-pecially beneficial for rheumatism.Thousands of cases can be cited inwhich It has effected a cure when thesufferer had previously tried the be;-- tmedical service without securing re-lief. Pain Balm is positively guaran-teed to give relief in the most severecases of chronic or acute rheumatism.

Pain Balm heals bruises, burns andscalds in less time than any othertreatment. It is "antiseptic" that is,is prevents putrefaction and by so do-ing, generally prevents an unsightlyscar remaining after the injury is heal-ed. For lame back, lumbago and neu-ralgia. Pain Balm has no equal. Ithas the quality of "getting to the rightspot." No sufferer from these distress-ing affections should defer a trial ofthis remedy. One application gives re-lief. Try It.

SUPERSTITION IX WALL STREET.

Wall street brokers are as full of superstition as an egg is of meat.Brokers have found out what has been hoodooing the market, and, ac-cording to their theories, it is all caused by the fact that members ofthe Xew York Stock exchange are compelled to walk under a ladderdaily in entering the new handsome exchange building.. John Clews,a member of the exchange, has discovered the cause. When the con-tractors temporarily suspended work on the Stock Exchange buildingone of the workmen left a ladder standing upon the cornice, which isused by a sculptor at work upon a group of statuary, immediately abovethe main entrance. The ladder is in such a position that all memberswho enter the exchange from the Broad street side are compelled topass under it. Everybody knows that it is very unlucky to pass undera ladder.

PANAMA CANAL TROUBLES.

Most of our readers have doubtlessbeen puzzled by the contradictory tele-grams from Colombia about the for-tunes of the canal treaty. One day thenews was favorable to passage; on an-

other day the treaty was beaten andits supporters had gone home; the nextday there was a chance of reconsidera-tion, etc., and now there is talk ofdrafting a new treaty "in conformitywith the Constitution." Probably theaction of the Venezuelan governmentin delaying or suppressing the dis-patches of the United States Ministermade it impossible for the AssociatedPress to straighten out the news; andfurthermore there is a plentiful lack ofknowledge in the United States UDonthe treaty-makin- g functions of theSouth American State. So it haDDenedwhen the Senate rejected the canaltreaty, the act was regarded here asfinal when, in point of fact, the Colom-bian House, which had not yet acted,had concurrent jurisdiction.

Under Title VI, Article 76, Section 20,of the Colombian Constitution, theHouse as well as the Senate exercisesthe privilege of approving or rejectingtreaties entered into by the governmentwith foreign powers, and Title XI, Ar-ticle 120, Section 10, provides that:

All treaties shall be submitted for theapproval of Congress, and the conven-tions shall be approved by the Presi-dent, in the recess of the House, a fa-vorable judgment of the ministers ofthe Council of State having been Dre-vious- lv

obtained.The House voted after the Senate did

VACATIONS.

The vacation habit is not possibleto all, but it is possible to many whodo not indulge in it. Sooner or laterthe need asserts itself; and then, withan overmastering voice, nature callsupon the tired man to make his peacewith her. The call is always back tonature; to the mountains, woods andstreams, or the sea, to the primitiveforms of life, a taste of which comesfrom one's ancestry. It is as if theman, worn by the friction of stonewalks and iron staircases and of apurely conventional existence, felt thatcontact with the earth would revivehim and make him stronger, as it didAntaeus in the old Greek fable. An-taeus, as students will remember, wasfinally killed by being kept off theearth. He was held somewhere in theair perhaps in an office in a skyscraperand then strangled to death, possiblywith the smoke of an adjoining fac-tory- There is many a man who willsuffer the same fate whom contact withmother earth might win to health andvigor once again.

Nebuchadnezzar tried this remedy.For forty years he led a strenuouslife, building great works, makingsplendid conquests, governing theknown world- - Then he had nervousprostration. The astrologers of histime could do nothing and the patentmedicines were no better than theyare now. It was up to him. Hap-pily he knew what to do. The strick-en king went to the mountains; he sleptin the fields under whatever shelter hecould get; he wore few clothes; he ateprickly pears, succulent grasses, wildhoney, birds' eggs and everything elsehe could find in nature's larder. Thecure was slow for the malady had beenoming on for forty years; but after

seven years the king got well. Allvigor comes from the earth; some ofIt had soothed his nerves and revivedhis fagged brain.

Many people, more than the mortu-ary lists tell us about, died from over-work. Charles Sumner, Louis Agassizand Horace Greeley are among them.The disease of overwork goes by othernames but it is overwork all the same;and it runs on with hardly a stop forSunday. It is a national malady andas yet the American people as a wholeare doing but little to cure it. Wemake fun of the short business hoursand the recurring fete days of Europe,but life was strenuous there once upona time. Then, by harsh experience,the people learned wisdom and beganto take things easier. They had foundout that there was something in lifebesides work and worry. !L,ong beforethem the Japanese also found it outand pilgrimages to the mountains arepart of their natural habit. WhenAmericans learn the lesson they willbe-- ' a race of sounder health and betterideals than they are now; and theirplay days will be many.

The interchanged telegrams betweenMr. Trent and the manager of the Vol-cano House do not necessarily settlethe question of whether the summitcrater of Mauna Loa is reflecting: fireon the high clouds. Mr. Bidgood of theVolcano House had a right to interpretMr. Trent's wireless message as mean-ing Kilauea, As for seeing what Ma-una Loa is doing, it often happens atthe Volcano House that a thick fog-prob- ably

a cloud bank spreads be-tween the lower and upper craters andit may have done so on the night Mr.C. J. Austin made his observationsfrom Haleakala. Certainly Mr. Austin,like the captain of the Iwalani, sawsomething remarkable in an air lineview of Hawaii's volcanic dome.What was it?

If it is necessary to keep Davis outof the eourts, where he has spent somuch time robbing clients, other cir-cumstances, as culpable as his actionin the Sumner case, will be reported.The scheme to resume practice "pending an appeal to the Supreme Court ofthe United States," is a very prettyone, but we trust the Territorial Su-preme Court will not succumb to it.Davis was disbarred, not to disciplinehim, but to protect society from hisdepredations. The need of such safe-guards is as strong now as it was lastmonth. Assuredly the public and peo-ple interested in estates will not relishtiny mitigation of Davis's sentence.Under all the circumstances it wasnone too severe.

If Prof. Berger is not satisfied withKumalae's choice of "lady vocalists"he should let them go and try twoothers. There seems to be nothingin the law to prevent. Anything wouldbe more seemly than a continuous rowover the ones who now sing.

Mr. Astor will not be pleased to readthat he has given the British cancerresearch fund a million "dollars." Mr.Astor has no use for dollars. Hisreckoning is now in pounds sterling.

complexions of the Porto Rican womenglow now with a healthier color be-neath a neat and well-order- ed coiffure.The women are visibly better groomed.The band plays Sousa's marches. "Mr.Dooley." or airs from "The CountryGirl," instead of the mournful musicof the Danzas. The people laugh andtalk as they walk: they are out to seeas well as to be seen; young men walkwith the women. The artistic valueof the change is doubtful; there is acertain sense of incongruity. But un-mistakably there is change: there isa stir about it, an added vitality,brightness, spirit.

Less change is noticeable in the localfashion of men's clothes. These havealways been simple and rational, khakiand duck chiefly, material and styledictated by the climate. But Englishand American tailors have found manycustomers, and their Porto Ricanbrethren are being compelled to followtheir styles. Panama hats, a varietyof good grades, are now manufacturedon the island; chiefly for export. Thestiff and heavy American-mad- e strawhat, by an odd reciprocity, actually hasa larger sale at present among thenative population than the more ap-propriate panama.

Dress has changed: manners and cus-toms keep pace. At a ball or baile,as they say here given at the PonceCasino last February in honor of Ad-miral Higginson and the officers of thefleet then lying in Ponce harbor, time-honor- ed

Spanish social conventionswere abandoned, as they have beensince on similar occasions. Danceswere divided: young senoritas, afterthe northern fashion, sat out dances orintermissions in the foyer or boxes ofthe adjoining theater with their part-ners a performance bringing socialostracism or engagements under theold standards. This is merely an instance there are many others indieating what to us seems a more ration-al and wholesome association betweenmen and women.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.It is, of course, quite natural that the

English language in three years shouldhave become more commonly used, andthis in spite of the fact that the number of Americans now resident on theisland is no greater than it was threeyears ago. The floating populationof adventurers and carpet-bagge- rs whoflooded in after the war has been stead-ily drifting away again, for Porto Ricois no place for your very small man.and the legitimate increase by birthand the coming of a better and sounderclass of investors and property-holde- rshas barely made good the exodus ofthe unfit. The shopkeepers and mer-chants in the towns, the large numberof Porto Ricans employed in subor-dinate positions by the Government,generally know enough English to car-ry on their transactions in that lan-guage without trouble. The steve-dores and longshoremen, barbers andcocheros, the little bootblacks whothrong the curbs, even the beggars, andthat conservative body in everythingbut politics, the Insular Police, all havea few necessary English equivalents

'with which to solicit business, strikea trade, or direct a Btrnn?nr Rntmore effective than any other cause inthe establishment of English are theAmerican schools. One thousand onehundred and thirty American schools,each filled to overflowing, are deter-mining the speech of the coming gen-eration; a result which of course isbeing anticipated by the increasingdaily use made of English by the sixtythousand pupils enrolled, and its in-troduction by them into their homes.Spanish has been the language of PortoRico luring four centuries: Englishin a general way has been used fouryears. That the latter language hasalready gained such a place is signifl- -

.cant, first, of the eagerness and promptness with which the people of the isl-and have sought to acquire at leastthe speech of the new regime, and, sec-ondly, of the progress made towardsassimilation since the occupation.

The schools are doing more than es-tablishing the English language in Por-to Rico. More than any other agencyat work they are accomplishing a rational and thorough Americanization,the effects of which will be permanent. Mr. Brumbaugh, first Commissioner of Education, and his successor.Dr. Lindsay, have set up, in place ofthe hopeless confusion of the Spanishschools, a compact organization andsystem in the department of educa-tion. American and Porto Ricanteachers are working together, teachingby American methods: the results areapparent in the children. I visited adozen schools in various parts of theisland, each representative of its type:industrial, rural, kindergarten, gradedand high schools. With one exception,I found the teachers eager and inter-ested in their work: the children at-tentive and quiet, progress very evi-dently being made. The schools formthe most encouraeine document in thp ," " -records of this American colonial ex- -Priment.

GREAT FISHING YARNS."When I was fishing in the Arkansas Bayou," said Rev. Dr. J.

R. Howerton, '"I saw a fish which was so ame and bold that it jumpedup in the air and hit off two feet of my line.''

"'When Dr. Woods, an eminent divine, was fishing- somewhere orother,' said Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg, ''he tried to pass his wife's spec-tacles to her across a small stream by fastening the glasses to the endof his fi.diing line. An immense fish jumped out of the water and wascaught by the rims of the spectacles. When he was drawn out of thewater the spectacles were pulled across his face and he was gazing re-proach through Mrs. Woods's spectacles."

"When I was down in Mississippi," said General R. A. Lee. "Istruck a lot of fish that were so sporty that all you had to do was to rocka boat and they would jump into it and catch themselves."

"In the Pigeon River in this state," said Dr. Howerton, with grimdetermination writ on his face, "a man was fishing and he used as asinker a big bullet that came from a revolutionary battle field. A largefish caught hold of his hook and pulled so hard that when the hook cameout of his gills the bullet flew back and fractured the man's skull."

"Yes, that's so," said Mr. W. L. Long, "and the men who live closeto that same river catch fish in the most modern way. They no longeruse a hook and line, but they lie down by the side of the stream withrifles in their hands and when the fish big, fierce, fine fish they arejump into the air they shoot 'em with a rifle. I call that fishing some."

pending the adoption of laws harmonizing with the convention.The following rules were adopted for the uniform attitude of the

contracting states in the matter of certificates. of origin:Article 1. In order to safeguard the execution of the convention,

all sugars imported into the contracting states for purposes of consump-tion must be accompanied by certificates of origin. Sugars without suchcertificates are excluded from importation or can only be imported onpayment of a maximum duty fixed by the permanent commission.

Article 2. Bountied sugars may be imported for transit.Article 3. The transit mentioned in article 2 is onlv permitted un-

der direct official control, or in case of transfer, or of storage in thecustom house magazine.

Article 4. The certificates of origin must be issued by the author-ities appointed for this purpose by the government of the producing,importing or remanufacturing countries. For greater security the re-ceiving country may demand a consular certificate if the sugar iscoming from a country not belonging to the convention.

Article 5. The certificates of origin must contain, a. the brand andquantity of the sugar; b, the description, number and marks of thepackages : c, the name of the country from which the sugar came origin-ally, or from which it is exported, and that of the land into which it isimported: d, the manner of transporting the sugar (railroad, ship,lighter, etc. )

These certificates of origin shall be valid only for a certain timeto be fixed by the authorities issuing them. This period must not ex-ceed a year. The time of storage will not be counted.

Article 6. The certificates of origin for sugars recast in countriesnot adhering to the convention must furthermore specify that the sugarcomes from a factory which does not work up sugar imported by thosecountries that are excluded from import or subject to special duties.
