PROVE TO BE DIRTIEST SET OF PEOPLE KNOWN On Account of Wandering Procltv itiae Workmen Are Not Huge Suc cess Fairly Good Employee but Not Steady Are Decaying Race. (Wa.hlntoo Bwr.a of Tkt JauraaLt Washlngtoav. Oct. 28 Many persons nave wondered what ever became or that shipload of Porto Rtcaaa taken to the Hawaiian Island some rears ago - ss aa experiment as-e If our over crowded Island In the Atlantic could not supply the demand for labor In our undercrowded Islands In the Pacific They are out there, In Hawaii yet. bat th first tot was enough. Mo more vPoeto Ulcans for Hawaii. Two Thousand .Imported. This experiment was made In 101. The first load was followed by others until slightly over J.000 laborers and their families had been taken to the far-famed 'cross roads of the Pacific" and the department 'of commerce and labor baa Just finished looking them up to see how they are getting along. The reports from HaWall are not reassuring. 'The Porto means will wortt all right . In fact they are described as (airly good workers, but they are not clean and will not pay any attention to the rules of sanitation so necessary to the best health In a semi-tropical climate. They are the dirtiest people In Hawaii, and the women are not In any aenee home bodies nor home makers. But even at that they 'are much better off In every way better fed and better clotaed than they ever war In Porto Rico. In 1902 there were 2, of these laborer on the Island's plantation, but at the present time the number' la not over l.suo or 1,900. Some few have returned home, but the .most of these who have left plantation work have gone Into other pursuits, TO being manu facturing, 7 having become superin tendents, 79 have found employment In the transportation servjee of the Islands,. 4 have doe positions In th ad ministration of th government and others are In th meensnlcal trades and In miscellaneous occupation a. Wandering- Proclivltl. The chief complaint against them, outside of their filthy habits. Is that on account of the Porto Rlcan women having none of the home instincts thee laborers are very hard to keep In one place. They will wander about the Islands and seldom work more than on season on th earn plantation, while the Chinese and Japanese labor is a steady as a clock, with each Individual striving to accumulate enough to get a small holding of his own. There le also some slight Indication In th figures procured by the department that the Porto Rlcans are a decaying race and In time will disappear from the islands. Certainly they do not show eny natural , increase, the total number there grow ing a little smaller each year. Just aa th native Hawallana are fading away. CHDMTONII PLAMUfO FOR Sim FRANCISCO - PACKAGESDELAYED BY CANADIANS Officials Across ths Bordsr Causa Exporters Much Inconven ience and Annoyance. EVIDENTLY AN EFFORT TO DISCOURAGE TRAFFIC Government Officials Cannot Do Anything Package Takes s Month When It Should Take Ten Hours No Explanation Offered. (Washlaftea Barvaa ef The Journal.) Washington, Oct. 31. The department ef commerce le up against a proposi tion that causes loud wall from the exporters and manufacturers of the United States, but from which there Is no possible relief In sight because the source of distress Is outside the country. It's In Canada. The people M this country who sell goods to the Canadian are writing stirring letters to th department asking how in the world to send packagea ty express to their customers In Canada without 4" lay In the delivery. The department le gravely answering them by saying that the trouble Is on the other side of th International boundary. An experimental package was sent from Washington not long ago addressed to person In the do minion, with the charges prepaid. The package could have reached its desti nation In 19 hours If sent the earn distance In this country, and the point to which It waa addressed has a custom-house, yet ths paoakage was ex actly on month in reaching the man for whom It waa Intended. A.t the end of that thai It was delivered without explanation or apology. In th same way It was found that American news papers and periodicals were two end three days behind rn delivery at the same point. No definite solution of the matter waa achieved by the department, and none Is offered. Rut In a statement re citing the foregoing facts It -is offi clslly asserted that. "It looks as though it might be Intentional to discourage purchase on this side." Whan aaked what it proposes to do about It the department says: -Not anything. What can we doT The delay la in a foreign country with whose affaire we heve no concern. flclally. Rut If it Is done for th pur pose of discouraging trad with th United SUtea It Is a matter which will adjust Itself, as all thing of that kind have never failed to provoke retaliation. Indeed, this may be a retaliatory step on th part of the Canadians for some thing perpetrated by someone on thle side. Who knows? It Is all guess work. All this department can say la that there has been this delay." Oriental Type of Architecture to Bs Used in Now Set tlement. (Journal Special ServleeJ Ssn Francisco. Oct. 13. Ban Fran cisco la to have a new Chinatown. That .much has been definitely settled. A committee from tlm directors of the Merchants' association of Baa Fran cisco has conferred with a similar com mittee of the Chinese Merchants' asso ciation, also of San Fraadlsco, and- th new Chinatown le to rise from the aahea of the Old Chinatown and flaant the three-eyed paaoock festher and tea eheet literature from the old elte.

If the buildings. can be rebuilt with distinctive styls of architecture In harmony with the character af the busi ness done there, this will give San Francisco an attractive feature differ ent from that of any city In the United States br from any American city In FAIRBANKS CAMPAIGNING IN INDIAN TERRITORY VlnRa.

From a missionary standpoint the Interesting feature of this Imimgvatlon Is the fact that with these Japanese are coming Buddhist missionaries, sent out by th Buddhist Foreign Missionary society of Toklo. The reports of th secretary and-other officers and of the executive committee show the paat year to have been en exceedingly active one for the asso ciation.

ORATORS WORKING FOR GLORY No Money for Spellbinders of Either Party This Ysar Must Pay Own Expenses. EVEN UNCLE JOE CANNON 18 MONEY OUT OlfPOCKET Every Speaker Must Foot Hie Own Bills and Psy Railroad Par Where Formerly He Got Good-Sized Sums for Campaigning. (Waahlsgtee Bare ef Th Joaraal.) . Washington, Oct. 11.--Un these piping times of poverty among political par ties. It coat a! man money to campaign It. The other day. Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the house, walked Into the capital, fresh from his swing around the circle In the east and south. Uncle Joe always walk like a man going after the doctor, and on thla occasion he cam Into the oflfce of th sergeant-at-arms like a whirlwind. It waa Sunday. "Say," he shouted to the men behind the counter, before he was half way through th door, "say, I'm broke. How's my balance here?" "You have 100 to your credit, Mr. Speaker," replied the official, respect fully. "Well, it ain't enough," roared the speaker. "I need a thousand, anyway. 'Sposa I can't get it here, though. Safe's probably been eet to open Mon day morning." "Oh. no, the safe Is open," replied the officer In charge, "and you can have all 'you want" "Well. well, now ain't that luok." ex claimed th speaker. "I always did say this was the most efficient office In the government, and after this I'm going to stick to It.' Chuck out ths spondulicks. Got to get movln . you know." And with that Uncle Joe mad a daah for the train -for Virginia to conUnue his tour of persuasion. In previous campaigns no speaker of th prominence of Mr. Cannon had any need to go "broke" on the road, or to draw upon his own resource). At least not In recent years. From the days of Mark Henna until the present time th national committee on the Republican aide had all the money It could pos sibly spend, and orators were not only well taken oar of In th matter of ready money and traveling: expenses, but many of them were paid handsomely for their work. This year, however, there is so little money in sight that every man has t foot his own bills and be content. Th local committee are generally paying the hotel bills of speakers, but th railroad faree have to be paid out of tha pocket of the am bitious orators whe) go about the coun try to make tha speeches. It Is a case of working for love and glory this time, which accounts for the extreme quiet ness of the campaign. ILLINOIS TO DEDICATE MONUMENT At VICKSBURG (Joaraal Special Barries.) Chicago. Oet.

CURE CATARRH NOW Do Not Wait Until Winter or Disease - Will Become Chronic. (Journal Special Service t Madison, Wis., Oct. 11. No general state tax will be levied In Wisconsin thla year, and even the mill tax for the schools will be cut In half. Payments on ' war claims together with Increased taxes from corporations, hav put the state treasury In such a plethoric con dition that there Is now more money than le needed. Had It not been for work on the capital building It would have been feasible to emit entirely the school tax. Back taxes and Increased levies from railroads hav added M41.000 to the school ' fund now in the treasury, after meeting all extraordinary expensee of the state.
