Sir Harry H. .lolinston, the famous explorer and naturalist, who has m.ide a careful study of Cu ban problems, writes to the London Times: "The very hest thins which could happen to Cuba from the point of view of Cubans, and especially the negro Cubans, .and of that outer world, England, Canada, Germany, Franco, the United States and quite recently Spain, which has invested so much capital in the development of Cuban industries and means of transport, would bo annexation of the island to tne United States, with the form of government for some years to come of a United States ter ritory. "Corruption and the inisgovern nient of the present Cuban adminis tration is in uo way exaggerated in your leading article of May 27. Cu ban negroes are blamed for having provoked recent troubles. They have suffered so much from their treat ment at the hands of the white and half caste national government since 1810 'that I do not wonder at their bein a: in rebellion against it. "Hut it is a mistake to describe them as illiterate or in any other opprobrious terms. Education has made great strides among them since 1S99, especially during the American administration of govern men t. Dur ing my stay In Cuba I have been much impressed by the spread of the right kind of civilization among Cu ban negroes. "Nowhere, in fact, at the present day does the negro appear to better advantage in tropical America than In Cuba, but he demands and will have just and honest government, and that under existing circum stances he can only get from United States administrators. It was the negroes really as a fighting force that proved to be the unconquerable element in the Cuban insurrections against Spain. "If the United States hesitates much longer to become directly re sponsible for the administration of Cuba, Cuba may experience the his tory of Hispanola."

McNamara, the former serv ing life and the latter 14 years at San Quentin in connection with the Ios Angeles dynamiting cases, are both under the ban at San Quentin prison for failure to do the work as signed them. The two ex-union labor leaders liave had their credits taken from them, and must remain without priv ileges until they show a disposition to conform to the rules of the prison and perform the daily tasks allotted to them in common with the other prisoners. Their position is precisely that oc cupied fur 30 days by Abraham Kuef. One of the tasks assigned both brothers was handling loo yards of floth In the jute mill each day. Tliey proved stubborn, and after repeated warnings that they must do the work exactly as other prisoners did, were removed from the mill. fZOO.uoo IIF.NFFIT.

Miss Grace Strachun of New York, who has been talked of as the next president of the National Kducatiou 1 Association, which holds Its an nual convention in Chicago n July, tias been honored by the teachers of New York. It was through her ef-fo-ts that the. women teachers of New York won their demand for equal pay when the work was equal. In recognition of her efforts in their behalf thews teachers will each con tribute one month's salary to make a lund for her benefit. It will be a little matter of $200,000. The board f education, through the superin tendent. Dr. William 11. Maxwell, tried to prevent the soliciting for the fund, but lawyers declared the teacb t rs to be within their rights and the board to be without its rightb in in terfering.

Village Preare.H to Knlcrtain Throngs of Visitors, liiii Although there are to be no per formances at Oberamniergau this year, travelers upon the continent will not be without an- opportunity to see the Passion Play. The diminutive hamlet of Krl, in the northern Tyrol, has bounded into fame as a rival of the more celebra ted Bavarian village and a possible competitor for the first honors in the representation of the sacred drama. Krl lies in the valley of the Inn, almost within a stone's throw of the Bavarian border. It is a typical Ty rolean village, with a picturesque group of peasants' houses huddled about a large church. For centuries since 1500, accord ing to some estimates a Passion Play has been given here at inter vals. As at Oberamniergau, the act ors are selected from the inhabitants of the town and its environs, but while Oberamniergau has waxed rich and famous, Krl has remained almost unknown. This year the people of the village, spurred on by the success of Oberatn niergau, have decided to emerge from their seclusion and claim the notice of the outer world. A theater, capable of accommodat ing 1,500 spectators, has beeu erect ed. The stage stretches the fun width of the building. A huge res taurant has been completed, and neighboring farm hotes converted into hotels. The first public rehearsal was held a few days ago. Three hundred act ors played their parts with dignity and sincerity, and Kaspar Pfisterer, a carpenter, who takes the role of the Saviour, Is said to be not unworthy of comparison with the famous Anton Lang. TWKNTY-TWO IIOIiSKS III KXF.D. Circus Train Catches Fire ami One Car is llewti-oyed. Pendleton, Ore. En route from The Dalles to this city, the Sells Floto circus U'ain took fire shortly before midnight Wednesday night and before the heoroic work of the train crew and circus helpers could subdue the flames 22 horses were burned to death and two men were injured. While trying to rescue the horses from a burning car one of the circus attaches was violently kicked, and Is now in the local hospital. An other helper is confined in bed, but his injuries are not considered seri ous. Only five horses were saved from the burning car. Sparks from the engine set fire to the loose hay in the interior of the car and it was soon a roaring furnace. As quickly as possible the train was cut in two and a run made back a half mile to a water tank, where the blaze was quenched. Before the tank was reached the horses in one car had perished, but the remainder of the train was saved. The Sells-Floto people maintain a re serve equipment in winter quarters and a carload of horses is already on the way. Fortunately no ring horses were among those burned, but many of the lost animals were some of the finest draft and parade horses the show possessed. It was necessary for the management to secure a number of draft teams here to unload and draw the carriages in the parade. tii'NNKU fii;i:s IX A IK. Aviator at High Sx-ed Hits Target Fifty Times. Washington The practicability of aerial artillery was demonstrated with remarkable success at College Park, Md., when Captain Charles del''. Chandler, chief of the areonau tbal division of the United States army signal corps, from an aeroplane 000 feet in the air, flying 50 miles an hour, fired half a hundred shots from the army's new aeroplane 'ma chine gun and made every shot tell on a space three by 12 feet. Officer of the army were elated over the success of the new weapon and t..e accuracy with which it was fired from the rapidly moving flying ma chine. The little gun, weighing only 25V4 pounds, was lashed to the aeroplane in such a manner that the breech rested almost in the lap of the gun ner. The figure was at an angle of about 4 3 degrees. The gun is capable of firing 750 shots a minute and artillery .officers believe they have successfully solved the problem of utilizing the aero plane in warfare for other than scout ing purposes.

Twin wireless stations to communi cate directly with London will be built along the New Jersey coast within a year, according to an an nouncement made by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America. Options have been obtained in similar sites at San Francisco and Honolulu. It is planned to construct a plant in the Philippine Islands to communi cate directly wit'h the one at Hono lulu. The company thus will be enabled to send messages from London to the Philippines by way of the United States, relaying the messages by land wires from the Jersey coast to San Francisco. The plants at San Fran cisco and Honolulu will be erected immediately, the announcement adds. The first. New Jersey station, the announcement says, will be erected within nine months near Belniar, upon a site of 550 acres. The second will be erected at Tom's Kiver or Barnegat, and will be tuned to a key different from the first, so that mes sages to either station may be re ceived and sent simultaneously with out interference. The distance from the New Jersey stations to London 'is 3,100 miles. The estimated cost of the plants will be $75 0,000 each. WOULD PATBOL BUFF. San Francisco Fditor Appeals Prison Hoard. to San Francisco, Fremont Older, managing editor of the San Francis co Bulletin, has sent a petition to the board of prison directors asking for the parole of Abraham Kuef. No action has yet been taken by the board. Older's reasons for risking the parole of the-convicted boss are, stated in part, as follows: "Since his arrest Kuef has served nearly five years in jail and prison. Others, who were equally guilt;, with him, wholly escaped the penalty that Kuef has suffered. "It seems to me that the city and state have had all the benefit they can ever hope to get from the long and bitter fight that has been made. It has resulted in freeing the people from a 40-year enslavement by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The government is now in the peo ple's hands. "Can you not take the broader view of justice, suid can you not see that Ituef is not alone responsible for his condition? Is it not true that we are all of us responsible? That society is responsible for the stan dard of success which Iluef followed? A standard which carries with it Ideals, power, distinction, reputabil Ity, success at any cost" Now is the time to get rid of your rheumatism.

Says San Quentiii Prison System is Antiquated and But ten. Characterizing the prison system at San Quentin penitentiary, Califor nia, as "antiquated and rotten," Gov ernor West of Oregon, thoroughly angered, replied hotly to the criti cism by Warden Hoyle and others connected with San Quentin prison that the governor was largely re sponsible through his efforts at re forms in the Oregon penitentiary at Salem, Ore., for the bloody mess room riot. "San Quentin prison officials ought to use more brains and less lead, if they'd have a good deal bet ter, success," said Governor West. "Despite ungrounded attacks on our system of humane treatment of prisoners at Salem penitentiary, the fact remains that we never have any trouble. Sentiment does not rule there, but common sense does. The prisoners, treated like human beings, are responding splendidly to fair dealings. "We can take care of ourselves at Salem. We are not bothering about San Quentin. The prison officials there can make their place a slaugh ter house If they wish we shall not interfere." TOl IllSTS BEACH CHAT KB. Snow Reported Ten Feet Deep at Arant's Camp. The first party of tourists this sea son to reach Crater Lake returned to Klamath Falls Saturday after four hard days. In the party were two women, probably the first of their sex to visit the lake this early In the season. The tourists were Mr. and Mrs. Ii. W. Neighbor and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Trower of Oakland, Cal. The party reports 10 feet of snow yet at Arant's camp. "The sight of the lake well repaid us for the hard ships of the trip," said Mr. Neighbor, "and although we expected a grand sight, we were hardly prepared for the sight that met our eyes. I have seen the Grand Canyon, Y'oseniite Park, Lake Tahoe, the Selkirk moun tains, the Canadian Rockies and oth er American scenes of wonder, but in my mind none of these compares with our view of Crater Lake." "Mrs. Trower and Mrs. Neighbor displayed remarkable pluck during the strenuous trip, and enjoyed every moment of the outing," said Mr. Neighbor in conclusion. "Still tnis is a trip that I would not advise other women to make so early in the season, especially those who are not used to continuous riding." STKAXGK GRAIN DISCOVERED. California Rancher Finds New Bar. ley and Oats. Chico, Cal. Barley and oat-growing experiments by G. W. Overton, a rancher on Rock creek, just north of Chico, have developed grains that may be adopted throughout the United States. The experiments are considered so remarkable that the government has ordered an inspection of his process with a view of establishing his meth ods throughout the country. The feature of the new barley is that from two to five heads grow on each stock, the principal head ripening first and being easily twice as large as the others, which are of normal size. The combined heads are about nine inches long, while the stock is tough and about as large as' an ordi nary lead pencil, standing against a heavy wind. His tame oats has an average of three heads to the stock. JOHNSON IS NAMED. Enthusiasts Would Have Culiforniun Run With Teddy. Chicago. "Roosevelt for presi dent: Johnson for vice-president." This, according to reports which no one definitely denies, is to he the presidential ticket in November. Hundreds of western men are as siduously spreading the report that the California governor is to he the running mate with the colonel, and as It goes unchallenged, the strength of the report is hourly growing. It is reported that it was because this had been definitely decided on by the Roosevelt leaders that Governor Johnson left under hurry orders from Los Angeles for Chicago.
