' I f h Ji" -OpInionTf .Pro'iticleniSclinriaan',AVhb Has Been Studying Conditions in the Island. NEW TGRK, -April 15. A dispatch to the Herald from "Havana says: Jacoh G. Schurman, President of Cornell University, -who has sailed from, -this city for New York, was in Cuba for 10 days studying1 the political feltiiatlom He visited four of the six provinces of the island, talked with Cubans and all classes in their jnnrf tonynp; antl-oiiQwd closgiyj 5,uTrenT)pBnonfi3; expressed in; me cuoan newspapers, of which he was an indefati gable reader. President Schurman in an interview said: "The people of Cuba are less excited over the reference to Cuban sovereignty, supposed to he contained In the Piatt amendment, than are the . .politicians of 3 juavana. inaeea, xmsiness men. ana .own ers .of property universally iavor an, im mediate acceptance of the amendment, though many told me they did not dare to state so publicly. "Thej-sfeat deslfleratum in -Cuba is the immediate substitution of civil govern ment of JCfub'ans JojvGuba foV-ihe military government -ot Xhe Uniled- -States. But such -a government will have no chance ot success at home or abroad without the guarantees carried "In the Pla'tt amend ment, which I am fully persuaded is de sired Jn its essential contents by a ma jority of the people of, Cuba. "The United States must insist on ac ceptance ot the Piatt amendment. The oppdsltlon of the Cuban convention must be overcome. I "believe both ends .can be attained by a conference between la. com mittee of the convention and President McKiriley. The Cubans will then state their desires to the h'lgliest authority in the Republic, and the very opportunity to do so will predispose them to beconeHla-, tory, and the tact and diplomacy of the Presldentcomblned with the 'self-Interest of the Cuban delegates, will. discover a -way. either by defining the conditions of intervention, or abandoning the Isle of Pines, or specifying- the number of -coaling stations, or by some other formal concession, to reach an adjustment which will save the face of the delegates and tenable them to return to their political parties bringing peaee with honor. At tHe same time, the firmness of the Presi- dent may be equally trusted to maintain the substance of an act of Congress, the, terms of whrcn!he 'Is 'reduired to substan tially enforce. Then will follow civil government in Cuba by Cubans and a renewal of cordial relations with the United States, and this consummation is fievoutly to "be TrfBhe"d." Cuban Commission Appointed. HAVANA.

The 'Administra tion ts anxious "to accord every facility to the "members of the commission for ascer taining fully the interests of the Govern ment as-embodied in the amendment, be lieving that in the end the Cubans will realize that its acceptance by them will prove for the best interests of both coun tries.

WASHINGTON, April 15. Santiago Iglesias, a representative of the Federa tion of "Labor in Porto Rico, who came to, this country recently with a petition Blgned hy 6000 'Porto Rlcans praying for relief of the distressed conditions alleged to exist on the Island, -presented the peti tion to the President today. He was ac companied by Frank R. Morrison, Secre tary of the Federation of "Labor. Mr. Iglesias told the President that the des titution existing in the island could be; ""relieved" if "the Government' -would" expend liberal sums in the building of roads. The President said lie was very muchv inter ested in the welfare of the people of the .island and promised to .look into the (natter. PORTO RICAN RAILWAY. French. Company Accepts the Coun cil's Terms. SAN JUAN, P0RTO RIGO, April 15. M. Chapintier manager of the- French Rail way, ,has cabled from Paris to Mr.. Hunt, the acting Governor, that the' directors 'Rill accept the terms imposed by the Ex ecutive Counncll and that the company will be .reorganized. The plans -for the ex tension of the road, involve an' expendi ture of $2,000,005. Imxni&ratilgtn From, the Inland. NEW TORKApril lE-A .special td the WorldCom Washington says:1" "The .Immigration of Porto Rlcans from the 'island ha not been such' as to at tract any special attention," said Gover nor Allen, -of Porto Rico. -"I think the Siumber leaving th8 Island has been less Jlian 3000 all told and that has been a very small percentage of" the population. L io the- -cause of this- immigration 'I would .say the men have found opportu nities to better their condition and to make wages elsewhere. A number went to Hawaii and I believe others have gone 46 .South America to work to 'connection with the construction of a railroad. The Porto Rlcans are waking up to the fact that the outside world presents opportu suties and when the chance- offers" it- is hut natural that they 6hould avail them iselves of it. It is but reasonable to sup pose that emigration from Porto Rico would be proportionate to that of any other couritry.'r . . " v Santlago Iglesias, representing ' 'the American Federation of Labor in Porto Rico, who will present -to the president a petition signed by 6000 worklngmen of that island asking for work or hread, de aies that he has been repudiated by the labor prgantza,tIon.s.Jo,t Porjo Rico.,, ""TJ1& oxggnisaWonC represent' said SBSmr'Stgtesiss, ""is xoraposejl of actual worklngmen who are too poor to send cablegrams of .congratulation -on make contributions to campaign funds. The American Federation of Labor has' ex tended its protection to this organization and recognized me as its duly accredited representative. I want American laws extended to Porto Rico and the Island placed on the-same footing as a territory. Do ' away with the -conflicting laws and give capital an opportunity ' to make ln--vestments-and give employment, and there will" be ft betterment of conditions." Hollander, BUI a Failure. NEW YORK, April 15. Wenccslo Borda, Jr.'ario' Tlncente "Balbas. 'Porto Rican Commissioners, today received, the 'follow-- ing cablegram from the executive com- mlttee of the Planters', Bankers' and Merchants' -Association ofoPrto" Rico: "Bill practically a failure. Business-' at a standstill. Excise taxes produce little. Hence, valuations ordered Increased. Em igration continues. General discontent." Commissioner Borda has this to say as to the cablegram: "This cablegram signifies that by reason of the" Imposition of the excise taxes, upder the' Hollander revenue law, the production of the Island has so decreased that the excise taxes do not produce the revenue which was expected by Treas. urer Hollander. The Insular 'government has", therefore, ordered the Assessors to Increase their valuations of the real and personal property of Porto Rico." ONE DEAL IS OFF. Hill Will Not Get the St. Paul, hut Has the Burlington. n -- ! CHICAGO, April 15. Roswell Miller, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago. St. Paul & Milwaukee Railroad Company, asserted today that, the nego tiations looking to the purchase of his company by - James J. Hill were '-off, and would not be renewed, and that there was no doubt that Hill had obtained control or the Burlington. Asked about the' St. Paul deal, Mr. Miller said: . "There.was a time when it looked as if Mr. Hill and the interests associated with him might obtain the St. Paul road, but that time is passed, and negotiation's Till not be renewed. While I am not officially acquainted with the facts, there Is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill have acquired the Burlington. With the Burlington deal E. H. Harn man, contrary to the general opinion, has nothing to do. It is distinctively a Morgan-Hill deal, and not a Harrlman-Hlll , deal, ,and that is why the Erie figures so prominently in it." "Do you apprehend any ill effects for the St. Paul by reason of the new alli ance 7' "Certainly not. What has-the St. Paul to fear from a combination of the north ern lines -and the Burlington Z .The Great Northern and the Northern Pacific deliver considerable business totheSt. Paul, and get a good 'deal fronfus.' In my judgment it would simply be idiotic for the northern lines to make any discrimination between their connections. As a business proposi tion it would.be foolish, and Mr. Hill Is too wise to attempt such a move. In any event, the St. Paul would be In a position to protect its interests, and would un doubtedly do so. There is never anything in this talk of running a system entirely Independent. It cannot be done, for con nections cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the St. Paul is so peculiarly situated that it does not depend 'for its revenue upon through business. Its local business 'a what pays the dividends." Questioned regarding the St' Paul's plans, Mr. Miller said: "There is no foundation for the rumor that the St Paul is going to capltallze'its surplus and extend it into Northwest ter ritory. There is no good reason for doing either. We asked the Wisconsin Legisla ture for the right to increase our capital tock for the purpose of acquiring other lines whenever a majority of the stock voted to do so. This was done, not with a view to any immediate Increase of cap ital stock, but to pave the way for any action which might become necessary in the future. We have found that in the past it has been almost Impossible to get two-thirds of the stock represented at any save annual meetings." "Is it true that James J. Hill owns one sixth of the St Paul stock, and is using it to block- extension moves by the St Paul?" was asked. "There is not a word of truth in the statement and it was never made by our agent to the Wisconsin Legislative com mittee. So far as I know, Mr. Hill does not own a dollar of St Paul stock.' THE POMONA RAILROAD FIGHT. Franchise Granted to Salt-Xafce Road Southern Gets" Injunction! POMONA, Cal., April 15. The .City Council today granted a franchise to the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad -for the construction of a track on First street over the route along which the Southern Pacific attempted to build Saturday. There 'was no opposi tion to the granting of the franchise, which will not become effective until tit is published in the official organ next Saturday. After that time, according to the terms of the franchise, the Salt Lake road will have SO days In which to accept or reject it Everything was quiet here today. The Southern Pacific has made no atempt to resume the work of building its line and the city officials still have guards constantly on duty to see that no such attempt it made. The Southern Pacific has filed a pro test with the trustees olaiming that the city had no right to grant a franchise over First street as the Southern Pa cific Company obtained the land by spe cial grant years ago. That part of the street to which the city lays claim, how ever, was opened as a part of the county road by the supervisors a long time ago, and has since remained continually open and been maintained by the city. LOS ANGELES. "caL, April 15. This afternoon Judge Shaw, in the Superior Court granted the Southern Pacific Com pany a temporary Injunction against the City Council and other city officials of Pomona, restricting them from lnterfer rlng with the Southern Pacific in its work of constructing a line of road over the disputed route on First street, Po mona.

A string of arc lights has been swung across Niagara River just bejow the falls and the electricity will be turned on five minutes before the .night trains arrive, making the scene light as day while the train passes at Falls "View Station, on the American side.

Hill, of the Great Northern, left this afternoon for the Pacific Coast and Seattle, accompanied by other officials and Edward Tuck, of Paris, and A T. French, of New York, who have been interested., in various rail roads. Mr. Hill denied himself to all callers, and would have nothing what ever to say about the Burlington deal.

The British . news papers and .magazines, "commenting, uppn the alternating periods, of hope 'and ap prehension which characterize the latest stages of the South African campaign, compare these with the latter stages of the American war of Independence as though to emphasize these fluctuations.

He ' has an army of 250,000 efficient troops, including 60,000 mounted men with a good supply of horsed, 40,000 having been secured in Cape ' Colony alone. The army Is in good spirits and Lord, Kitchener is satisfied with the progress of events, slow though-it seems." The War Office has received the "follow ing dispatch from Lord Kitchener dated Pretoria, April 15: "Colonel Henry Rawllnson's column rushed the South Laager, northwest of Kerksdorp at daylight Six Boers were klllea, 10 wounded and 23 taken prisoner.

A special to "the Herald from Washington says: Instead of inviting purchasers of Ameri can goods to come to this country and see our wares In salesrooms or in expositions, O. E, Austin, president of the Bureau of Statistics, proposes that American mer chants and manufacturers shall unite in carrying samples right to the doors of foreign customers In a great floating ex position. This idea has aroused a great deal of Interest In this country and abroad,' and letters Mr. Austin Is receiving 'from prom inent business men encourage the hope that it will take practicable shape. Mr. Austin's plan Is to have men en gaged in different lines unite In chartering several ships on which to Install, exhibits of their wares, each exhibitor to be al loted space in -proportions to the amount he subscribes. Agents will acepmpany the exhibits to explain them and negotiate -for sales. As the lower holds' of the vessels will not be suitable for exhibition pur poses. It is proposed that they be utilized for carrying limited stocks of goods for immediate delivery when sales are made. The fleet would sail' down the east coast of South America, up the west coast, across the Pacific to the ports of China and Japan, possibly Australia, the ports of the Indian Ocean and thence home , by way of the Suez and the Mediterranean, taking In the principal' ports df Europe and consuming about two years. This plan is being put into practice by a group of exhibitors at the Buffalo Expo 'sltlon, who propose after that fair to put their exhibits on board-a ship and make a tour of. the Mexican, Central American and West Indies ports including Bermu da. A similar plan was adopted abput two years ago by some, merchants of, Ham burg, Germany, who sent out a floating exposition on board a. single ship. The I expenses pmoun'td to about $100,000, while the direct sales amounted to $5,236,000. without taking into account future sales resulting -from the introduction of goods Into new markets. NEUTRALITY OF THE CANAL Provision for It Will Be Made in ; ft'ew Treaty.' NEW YORK, AprlTis. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Specific provision for the neutrality of the proposed isthmian canal will be made 'In the new treaty to be -signed . by. Secretary. Hay. and Lord Pauncefote, British Ambassador. This decision has been arrived at by the President and Secretary Hay after the most exhaustive -consideration 'of argu ments proand cqn,- which has convinced them that the highest interests of the country demand the application of the principle of neutrality. From the outset of -the" negotiations Great Britain has In sisted upon the principle of neutrality. The bestinaval and military advice which the administration has been-able to get has shown the necessity of neutralization ' OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. and the views of nfllltary and naval ex perts have been supported by distinguished jurists. Treaties between Nicaragua and other countries and Costa Rica, and for eign states contain specific provisions re garding the neutrality of the canal or ac cording to foreign states the most favored nation privileges. The treaty between the the United States and Nicaragua contains a provision that this Government "agrees to extend Its protection to all such routes of communication as aforesaid and to guarantee the neutrality and innocent use of -the same." The-Clayton-Bulwer treaty also provided fqr the recognition of the "general princi ple of neutrality." Even if the Clayton Bulwer treaty were abrogated It is held the remaining treaties In force would require the , amplication of the principle of neutrality 'to the canal. Another and most Important reason for Inclusion of a provision declaring the ca nal neutral, is the attitude of Nicaragua and , Costa Rica. It is understood that these Governments have indicated plainly to this Government their unwillingness to cede the right of way across their terri tory unless the principle of neutrality be absolutely conceded and In this determi nation they have the support of other Central' and South American states. Hay and the Senators. WASHINGTON, April 15. Long inter views were had today between Secretary Hay and Senators Foraker and Lodge, supposedly with reference to the proposed Isthmian canal treaty which is to replace the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, as Secretary Hay succeeds In his task of reconciling the views of the Senate and the Admin istration.. The talks that the Secretary o'f State has thus far had with the Sena tors on the subject has revealed consid erable opposition to any treaty at all, some senators Insisting that nothing more Is requisite to the construction of the canal than the abrogation of "the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and it is still far from certain that a treaty can be drafted that will command the support of two thirds of the Senate and still be reasona bly acceptable 'to Great Britain. : v Not Liable to Prosecution. . MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 15. Judge Eugene S. Elliott, In the Circuit Court today, decided that Christian Scientists are not liable to prosecution under the state medical law. The court ruled that the scientists can no more be held for practicing medicine by their means of healing by prayer than can a minister who prays at the bedside of the sick and receives, therefor a fee, either directly or indirectly. The case was that of the state against Crecentla Arrles and Emma Nich olas, Christian Scientists, who treated a child named Grosenback, afflicted with diphtherlp. and who died from the disease.

Will Not Make an Aggressive Fight for ihe Control of the Brit ish Market. LONDON, April 1G. Mr. J. P. Mor gan's Investments In British enterprises," says the Dally ..Mall this morning, "have thus' .far. l?een confined to the purchase of a Scotch collie for 500. We are Informed that the following Is an authentic expres sion of his views. He declares that the steel trust will not make a specially ag gresslve'flght for the control of the Brit ish market. On the contrary, it will only make legitimate demand and spoil the popular theory that American steel and Iron for foreign business represent purely the surplus production. As a matter of fact still stating Mr. Morgan's position the concerns comprised in the trust are full up with orders for fully nine months forward. Probably London will becomo headquarters for the corporation's foreign business." Another Reason for Morgan's Trip. NEW YORK. April 15. The Times say's: "It is reported among1 Wall-street men that the visit ot J. P. Morgan to Europe has something to do with the interests of Mexico. It Is said' that President Diaz has commissioned the New York financier to sound powerful foreign Interests upon plans that may. lead to the establishment of ' a new. financial policy even a move ment along conservative lines toward the establishment of the gold standard." A LONDON FIRST NIGHT. Tumultuous Welcome Given Irving: nnd Terry on Their Return. LONDON, April 16. Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry received a' tumultu ous welcome last evening at the 'Lyceum Theater, where "Coriol&nus" was pre sented with all the wealth of setting and scenery for which Irving Is famous. The house was crowded to Its utmost capacity. The applause with which Sir Henry's first entrance was greeted lasted fully a minute, while. Miss Terry was received with almost equal enthusiasm. Many notable persons were in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Choate, with Mr. and Mrs. W. B. cutting, Jr., occupied the royal box. Sir Henry gave a supper and held a re ception, on the stage after the perform ance, at which nearly all artistic and lit erary London assembled to welcome him back to his old home. LONDON, April 15. The usual scenes attending the reopening of the Irving Terry season were witnessed around the doors of the Lyceum Theater today. A3 early as 7 o'clock in the morning men and women collected, armed with camp stools, novels, sandwiches and flasks. The crqwd, rapidly increased until a spe cial police force was required to keep the first-nighters in line. Fear Undesirable Immigration. NEW YORK, April 15. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The question of alien Immigration Is again forcing Its way Into prominence. A good many people fear that, following the colonization of South Africa on a large scale by men and women of Anglo-Saxon blood at the close of the war, there will be an invasion of this country by impoverished middle men, money lenders and tailors from Jewish centers of population on the continent. The feeling among the working -classes of the East End of London with regard" to the immigration of destitute aliens is very strong. Whitechapel is lassaiy Inhabited by Hebrews of the very lowest class, whole streets being occupied by an undesirable population from the ghettos of Western Russia, Germany and Austrsa. Lori St'listury, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain have at different times In sisted on the necessity of preventing des titute aliens from taking up their" abode there, but the colonization of the country with people who are undesirable from every point of view except that of the sweating employes still goes on. The fact of the matter is, the government has dropped the alien immigration ques tion because they are anxious not to' lose the political support of the Hobrews in the os cltiee. The Cro-wn Prince's Speech. BERLIN, April 15. The German press prints columns regarding the doings of Crown" Prince Frederick William, In Vi enna, pointing out particularly the en thusiasm with which ne was received there by the populace and the court. Pri vate dispatches say that the Crown Prince was at first somewhat shy and flushed, being unused to such ovations, but he soon recovered his self-possession, and at last evening's banquet delivered his toast in resonant tones, and with military inflec tion. The accounts wired of the toast itself vary, and the Vienna semiofficial version differs from the Berlin semiof ficial report. The latter omits the words "comradeship in arms," and adds a phrase about the Crown Prince's thanks for "a most cordial reception." All accounts agree that he spoke without notes, while the .Emperor of Austria read from manu script. Today the Crown prince took breakfast with the Saxon Minister to Aus tria, Count von Rex. Shoived His Uniform. LONDON, April 15. King Edward re ceived General von Moltke. nephew of the former Field Marshal, and Lieuten ant Uaedom. at Marlborough House, to day. The German officers were accom panled by a Sergeant, wearing the new German field service uniform, sent by Emperor William for King Edward's in spection. The uniform differs little from the usual colonial equipment. The knap sack and other paraphernalia are so ar ranged that their weight fails entirely upon the wearer's back, and the whole equipment can be released whenever re quired by unclasping a single buckle. King Edward expressed warm approval of the uniform, and made General von Moltke a Knight Cbmmander of the Royal -Victorian Order, and Lieutenant Usedom a Commander of the same order. Wireless Telegraph in Germany. BERLIN, April 15. Professor A.
