Fonner Governor Pattlson declared
he was out of politics, had been for three
years and knew nothing but what he
read in the newspapers. Finally he
consented to say:
"in the east we think the radical
wing of the democracy Is still in power.

In Mr. Porter's Judgment, China, with

seriously entertains the idea of an
Anglo-American agreement or alliance

America, he declared, does not desire
to be drawn Into the ally of Asiatic
politics and the Americana certainly
would not ally themselves with Great
Britain against Russia to maintain the

PORTO RICO RELIEF WORK.
Many More People Destitute Than at
First Supposed.
NEW YORK, Sept 27. Rev. H. P.
McCormlck, one of the government in
spectors of charity In Porto Rico, has
written a letter to J. T. Morgan, cor
responding secretary of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society, In which
conditions In Porto Rico and the re
lief work carried on after the hurricane
are described at length.
He says that the number of persons
needing help rose to 250,000 and that the weather conditions are most un-
greiter number of those lived in the
mountains and inaccessible places.
Great difficulty was experienced In
reaehlns the needy on account of a
lack of Intelligent practical co-operation
on the part of the alcaldes of the
districts.
Dr. McCormlck describes the difficul
ties at length, but says that efforts
have been made to reach as many as
possible of the alcaldes on horseback
and by boat. The work In general In
cludes the organizing of local relief
Juntas, both male and female; the cor
recting of abuses and the suggesting of
improvements. The writer says that
if the people of the island were per
mitted to sell their coffee, sugar and to
bacco In the United States, their suffer
ing would be considerably lessened.
CLAIM CONTEST AT CAPE NOME.
Dispute Over Beach Mining Lands Set
tied by Captain of the Bear.
TACOMA, Sept. 27. Passengers on
the steamer Alliance from Cape Nome
tell of the arrest of 380 beach miners
on complaint of a company which
claimed the strip of land on which
they were working.
They were soon released, however,
by oider of the captain of the revenue
favorable there will be 2.000,000 visitors
hore on Friday and Saturday.
All available passenger equipment of
the various railroads Is being concen
trated at the most advantageous ter
mini for bringing crowds into New
Yo'K. The greyest Inward movement
Is expected on Thursday night.
All the roads have been running
about two-thirds of their capacity for
the last week. Railroad men them
selves express astonishment at the
great advance movement toward New
York. Low rates do not go into ef
fect until Thursday, so their induce
ment has not brought the thousands
who have come so far In advance of
the reception ceremonies. It shows,
too, the railroad men say, that the vis
itors who are now coming to New
York have plenty of money to spend.
The railroads will make no reduction
even 'ifter Thurxday for points within
a radius of 100 miles of New York. The,
rate after Thursday for points beyond
that radius will be one and one-third
fare for the round trip.
Officials of the Metropolitan system
said that traffic figures turned In In
dicate that already there were prob
ably one million visitors In the city.
President Vreeland said there would
be double the number on Friday and
Saturday.
ANT AMERICAN CAPITAL.
Government Asked to Complete Porto
Rlcan Railroad.
NEW YORK. Sept. J7.-A scheme Is
on foot to secure American capital for
the completion of the unfinished Porto
Rlcan railroad In Porto Rico. Edward
Lauterbach, acting for the Interests
now identified with the road, has con
sulted with the authorities at Wash
ington as to the government's willing
ness to adopt the terms of a conces
sion which the Spanish government
granted in 1SB for the building of the
road. The matter Is now being con
sidered.
About 130 miles of the road have al
ready been completed, extending around
the eastern .coast of. the island and
have been operated since 1892. Fifty
four mllea have yet to be built The
securities of the company are owned
chiefly ry French and English citizens.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-The Record
says:
American horses will drag English
ammunition wagons and heavy artll
lery over the plains of the Transvaal
in the event Great Britain and the
Boers clash at arms.
Orders came from London yesterday
to a firm of horse dealers at the Union
Stock Yards to buy up all the 1200
pound "gunners" the western market
afforded, and make arrangements for
Immediate shipment. Stress was laid
upon the fact that the animals were
wanted for the Impending South Afri
can campaign and the commission was
marked "rush" and "Imperative."
I tne norse market at tne yards was
stirred by the news. Telegraph orders
were flashed to breeders In Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa for-reservations of
choice stock with the expectation that
the first consignment will leave Chi
cago for England the latter part of the
j week.
The specifications that must be ad
! hered to In the selection of the artll
j lery horses, dealers say, will make the
filling of such a wholesale order some
what difficult of accomplishment at this
time.
Tie prices which the British govern
ment set as a limit range from $110 to
1125 a head. One firm declared that the
extra high standard needed wouldi
mean a practical cornering of choice
stock If a consignment aa heavy as
500 horses was made.
The Union Stock Yards Is being vis
ited by a number of foreign horse buy
ers, engaged in buying high bred horse
flesh for export.
