WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 President Hu
tin, of the Panama Canal Company, has
Anally submitted to Admiral Walker, the
head of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
a proposition on behalf of his company .for
the acquisition of all Its rights by the
United States Government.
The Panama company has been re
strained up to this moment from submit
ting a direct proposition, owing to a
clause in the concession which it holds
from the Government of Colombia, which
prescribes forfeiture of the concession as
road, from the Southern Pacific yards to
the BIsbee track until 65 cents per car
switching charges were paid. An armed
body of Blsbce employes took forcible pos
session of the cars and transferred them
to the BIsbee track. The Southern Pacific
ordered the track taken up so that .no
more cars can be handled. The Southern
Pacific also sent to El Paso for a body
of armed officers. There has been no
bloodshed, but a conflict Is threatened.

LONDON, Nov. 7. The sitting's of the

says the London correspondent of the

Tho War office will probably anticipate a

this when two contradictory versions are

To Educate Boer .Children.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Following the re

the London correspondent of the Times,
inserted by the board of education in this
morning's paper, for female teachers to

hildrcn simple rudiments and singing.
Why should the children be taught sing

the reports of sickness and death among
them? A correspondent of the London

the mortality among Boer children 1a al

HURLEY, Wis., Nov. 6. The Klondike
Theater, , owned by Edward ,Leclalr,
caught fire early today, while most of the
inmates were In bed, and the wooden
structure was a mass of fire in a flash.
Nine men and one woman are missing,
and there may be others who have lost
their lives In the fire. The dead are:

bolt, barber, Ironwood, Mich., face cut;
William McLaughlin, second cook, burned,
may die; Ella Hess, vocalist, bruised and

The buildlnir was a structure 123 feet
J -long;, three stories high and 50 feet wide.
and valued at $10,000. It was occupied by
25 -people, consisting of the Leclalr family
and a stock company who gave a vaude
ville entertainment six nights a week.
On the first floor was the auditorium, bar
room, gambling-rooms, dressing-rooms,
kitchen, dining-room, stage and propri
etor's bedroom'. On the second floor were
the boxes and a number, of bedrooms.
The third floor was partitioned Into
sleeping apartments.
The fire is thought to have been caused
by the explosion of an oil stove in the
proprietor's bedroom. "When the alarm
was sounded the flames had cut off exit by
the stairway. The only remaining exit
was through the side and front windows.
Some of the women crawled through the
side windows, dropped to the adjoining
buildings and reached the ground in safety
with slight injuries.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 6. The Lyceum
Theater, a vaudeville house, was de
stroyed by fire this afternoon. Aj per
formance was being given when the fire
broke out; but the audience was ' dis
missed In time to prevent a panic. The
fire was preceded by an accident, which
caused some uneasiness in the theater. An
electric sign extending Into Edgewood ave
nue in front of the theater, fell just as
the performance began, throwing the elec
tricians to the ground and injuring one
jof them, Roy Banner. The wires became
crossed and burned out a feed box at the
entrance to the theater. The smoke
found its way into the building and
caused much excitement In the audience.
Some of those ln3lde attempted to leave,
but were Immediately stopped and urged
to remain seated and the performance
proceeded. One hour later flames ap
peared In the roof of the theater, ana
the management dismissed the audience,
their exit being expedited by the ushers.
In about an hour the theater was In
ruins. Fred Jones, a fireman, was badly
burned.

Commissioner Elliott Snyo Wealth
of the Island Lies in the Soil.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. Tho annual re
port of William H. Elliott, Commissioner
of the Interior for Porto Rico, contains
a great deal of matter that Is of general
interest, especially his reference to agri
culture on the Island. On this subject he
says:
"The subject of agriculture is of prime
Importance to the people of Porto Rico.
The wealth of the Island lies In the soil.
Given good roads, the enrichment, com
fort happiness, Indeed, the very exist
ence, of the masses depend upon, the
proper planting, care and cultivation of
the soil. This fact was certainly as ap
parent to the authorities throughout the
centuries of Spanish rule as It is
now; yet the records fall to show any
real attempts to enlighten,' Instruct, or
encourage the agriculturists. Hence we
find them poor farmers, without knowl
edge of the adaptability of products' to
soil, selection of seed, correct methods
of cultivation, or proper implements.
Sugar cane, coffee and tobacco have re
ceived most attention, but the produc
tion of these has been by ancient meth
ods. Fruits and vegetables, upon which I
believe the. wealth and prosperity of the
Island will rest In the near future, have
grown wild or been cultivated but poor
ly for home consumption onlj'."
During the year 1899-1S00, the acreage In
sugar cane was 80,044; In coffee, 180,301; In
tobacco, 15,339, and miscellaneous objects,
184,072. For the year 1900-1901 these figures
Were, respectively, 82,678 In sugar, 166,164
In coffee, 13,704 In tobacco, and 201,815 In
miscellaneous objects. The pasture lands
aggregated 1,206,605 acres for the former
year, and 1,203,205 acres for the latter.
In explaining these figures, the report
says:
"These figures show that the plantations
of sugar cane and minor crops have been
Increased, and that those of coffee and to
bacco have, on the contrary, been re
duced. In the aggregate the lands under
tillage have been Increased by 450o acres.
"The less extent of coffee plantations
is due to the fact that some coffee-tree
groves were entirely ruined by the last
hurricane. Among those remaining at
present there are still some which will pro
duce very little, as the owners have not
been able, because of lack of means, to
repair the damages made by the hurri
cane. Nevertheless, a great deal of work
has been accomplished during the past
fiscal year to restore most of the coffee
plantations, and, -as the blossoms have
been exceptionally exuberant In many dis
tricts, the next crqp promises to be very
important.
"The reduction in the extent of tobacco
plantations has not been very important
The difficulty In selling the last crop, even
at the lowest price, has discouraged the
tobacco growers, and had it not been
that it was hoped that free trade should
afford better conditions for that industry
tho reduction of the plantations would

His Decision In Hlllsboro
Game Law Case.
HILLSBORO. fov. 4. (To the Editor.)
On the fifth page of Sunday's Issue State
Game Warden Qulmby Is reported to have
said In words and effect that he does
not like Populist justice as handed out at
unseen as long as I can, and when they
see me pretend to be doing something
else." So the men, with their guns and
lances, who wanted to shoot the bear,
had the pleasure of seeing him carefully
crawling behind rocks and Ice hummocks,
making long detours this way and that,
and every now and then clambering up u.
rock and peeping cautlonsly over to see
If the seals had gone. On the open snow
the bear would saunter off In another di
rection, and then, falling flat, push him
self along on his belly, with his great
front paws covering his black muzzle, the
only thing not matching the snow about
him. Just as the bear thought he had got
his "seal," the latter fired and shot him.

'For sugar planting the conditions are
quite favorable. The "United States has
always been the most Important market
for thlg staple. The American occupation
has brought greater facilities for sugar
exports, and the customs tariff established
by the Foraker act and now free trade
have favored this Industry to the utraosj.
So the cane plantations have been de
veloped all over the plains of the Island
during the past year to an extent that
almost exceeds the capacity of the exist
ing mills. With the establishment of
many big factories, for which arrange
ments are being made, a large acreage of
lands now devoted to pasturage will be
cultivated In sugar cane.
"Besides the increase in the acreage
of minor crops, It Is to be noted that in
several places orange-tree, pineapple and
vegetable planting has been started, espe
cially by citizens of the United States."
Memories of the Tan.
Cornhlll.
In the old circuses the tan used to fly
up now and then and dust the stalls; and
now and then a horse's hoof would beat
against the side of the ring with a heavy
thud. All this is gone. There are no bra
zen discords now,, no heavy thuds, no
flying, aromatic tan. And no stables! It
used to be a rapture to go through the
stables in the Interval down the long,
sloping passages,' with gas jets in wire
cages and find one's self between the
MM whpreln the State of Oregon was
plaintiff and Fred Groner defendant, the
charge being that Mr. Groner shot a
Chinese pheasant during closed season.
He further says that the deendant was
acquitted, notwithstanding two reputable
witnesses swore to having seen the de
fendant shoot and pick up the pheasant.
He further says that It Is "Populist pol
itics and not Justice that was handed out
at the trial of tho case."
Tour correspondent at Hlllsboro report
ed tho case precisely In accordance with
the facts, as appears in Saturday's issue
of your paper. Your correspondent re
ported in substance that the state's wit
nesses would not positively swear that It
was a pheasant at which Groner shot and
killed. That Is a correct report. Neither
of the witnesses would positively swear
that the bird that was shot was a Chi
nese pheasant for the simple fact that
they both admitted they were a quarter
of a mile distant. Upon this evidence the
state rested and the defendant moved the
court to dismiss the case on the ground
of insufficient evidence. It is evident
. y,a nfjitpmMits made by Mr. Qulmby
that he deems It the duty of the defendant
in criminal cases to prove his Innocence,
and because In this case that theory was
disregarded he denounces the court and Its
.latlalnn OS "PODUllSt Justice."
As Justice of' the Peace the writer takes
no exceptions to honest criticism of his
decisions, but protests against state offi
cers accusing the court referred to, or any
other court for that matter, of being In
fluenced by politics. In this community,
where I am known. It Is needless for me
to deny the charge. Any fair-minded per
son will conclude that Mr. Qulmby has
made groundless charges ana that he
talks too much. S. EVERITT.
