The price of coffee In Porto Itlco is very low on account of tho large crop In Brazil and they offer to contribute a large amount to be sold in this country through the agency of the I ted Cross, the proceeds to go toward the relief of the distressed on the island.

The department will proceed with the draughting of such treaties and reciprocity arrangements as appear to bo desirable and this work will continue under the direction of Mr. Ka.Bon, the present special plenipotentiary, who Is entrusted with all the details of the negotiations. It is understood some, of the European nations and it is believed Germany Is Included in tho list, are convinced that they can derive no- profit from any arrangement that may be framel under tho terms of- the Dlngley act and have resigned themselves to awaiting the expiration of the time remaining' before the 24th of July with the purpose of seeking to better their commercial relations with the United State after that date by the negotiations of general treaties.

Hood, of the Nineteenth Infantry, who was reprimanded by the governor for his action in forcibly removing a local Judicial officer from tho courtroom. Colonel Hood thought he had not been fairly treated In the matter and appealed to the War Department, but it Is said that Secretary Alger's investigation satisfied him that General Henry pursued the nrooer course and that Colonel Hood had exceeded his authority In arresting the Porto Rlcan Judge. Lieutenant Perkins, Eighth Infantry, was found guilty and sentenced to be dismissed by a court-martial held in Havana.

CREEDON NOT A FIGHTER

KNOCKED DOWX TIIHKE TIMES DY JOE WALCOTT l. A MI.XUTE. "Dead to the "World" In 73 Second After the Ilout Opened Carl Hock. ' Whipped In 47 Seconds. NEW YORK, April 23. Nearly six thousand sports assembled at the Lenox Athletic Club to-night in the horo of seeing a rattling bout between Joo Walcott, the negro boxer, and Dan Creedon, the Australian. They were matched to go twenty rounds at catch weights, but although Creedon weighed fully twenty pounds more than his opponent, the negro made short work of him. With a left and two right smashes on the Jaw Walcott floored Creedon thrice. The third time the Australian went down ho was "dead to the world" and Walcott was declared the winner amid the cheers of his backers, who won a pot of money on the result. The bout lasted only a minute and fifteen seconds and as the opening "mlH" was ended with a knockout also In the first round, tho club patrons had the very unusual experience of seeing two pairs of big boxers settling their arguments in about three minutes of actual fighting. In the opening bout Max Unger, an Americanized German, and Carl Rock, of Germany, who are both noted as "strong men," were the contestants. Each Is in the heavyweight class and neither had ever taken part in a public sparring contest. Both led for the head and Bock landed a stiff left. This was the only blow he struck, as Unger rushed at him and floored him with a right on the chest. Bock sprung to his feet instantly, only to go down again before another right. He stayed down three seconds this time and sprinted, but Unger swung his right to the Jaw. Bock fell In a heap and It looked as if ho were out. but he got up with surprising alacrity. He faced his opponent, who by this time had a "sure thing", of It. A few light passes followed with very little doing until Unger again swung his right on Bock's jaw and the foreigner went down and out. He was carried to his corner in a helpless condition and did not realize that he had been whipped until fully five minutes after Unger had been declared the winner. Time of round one minute and forty-seven seconds. Dan Creedon entered the ring at 9:13 o'clock looking In good shape. He owned up to weighing P iounds. Joe Walcott arrived at the ringside a few minutes later. He weighed 112 pounds. Creedon opened the favorite with HJ to ) on, but these odds oon dwindled to even money, which prevailed beforo the men began to box. In the opening round they exchanged a few body blows and Walcott tried a right swing for the head, but missed. Joe then swung his left on the wind and Creedon sent a hard left to the kidneys. After some swift exchanges Walcott swung his left to Creedon's Jaw and Creedon went down. The AustralIan stayed down the limit and got up dazed. He tried to spar, but Walcott went at him and sent him down with a short right hook on the Jaw. Dan looked all but out when he got up after the referee had counted eight seconds. Dan's back was turned to the negro when ho regained his feet, but Walcott ran around and faced him. The Antipodean was dumfounded and scarcely knew where he was. Walcott lost no time In finishing his man with a hard right smash on the point of the Jaw and Creedon fell flat on his back. The final blow was an awful one and Creedon was so helpless when It landed that he was out beforo he realized what had happened. Creedon was helped to his corner by his seconds. Ho came to In a couple of minutes and was able to walk to his dressing room without being aided. Time of round one minute fifteen seconds. Xelll Got the Decision. SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.The twentyround glove contest between Tom Tracey and Al Nelll, under the auspices of the Western Athletic Club, at Woodward's Pavilion, to-night, was largely attended. Nelll was tho favorite at 10 to 8. Prof. Walter Watson acted as referee. Nelll was given the decision at the end of the twentieth round, during which he knocked Tracey down with a right swing on the back of the head. The bout was well contested throughout. In the preliminaries Jimmy Lawler got tho decision over Martin Denny, after ten rounds of hard lighting. Billy Otts knocked out Charley Johnson in the first round of what was to have been a ten-round contest. Horse Falls Dead While Running. NEW YORK, April S3. There was a little exctlement at the Aqueduct races to-day In the fourth race. There was a rattling finish with Concord, Leando, Dan Rice and Mordecal.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn to-day sent letters of condolence to tho father and wife of tho late colonel of tho First Nebraska Volunteers, J. M. Stotsenburg, who died leading his troops in the Philippines on April 23. The secretary's letter to the father, Hon. John H. Stotsenburg, of New Albany, Ind., follows: "Information that your son. Col. John M. Stotsenburg, First Nebraska, U. S. V., has been killed In battle has been received. That he has met the common doom of mankind in the noontime of life and at the entrance of a notable career Is cause for deep sorrow and regret. But that he was killed in battle leading his command In a successful charge upon intrenchments of the enemy, and met death in the way a soldier would choose to die. 13 some comfort, though Inadequate to solace the senpe of personal bereavement you now feel. "It may be a comfort to you to know that this department did not wait until his death to do him honor. When the Legislature of Nebraska, the Governor of that State and other prominent citizens, laboring under a misunderstanding of the great work your son was accomplishing with his regiment, asked to have him relieved from his command, the response of this department was (to quote from tho letters sent): lt would be destructive to discipline and would imperil th; interests of the service to dismiss from the volunter army on an ex-parte statement, an officer with an unblemished record, against whom no complaint has been lodged by or through any military authority.' I have this day closed the incident of said complaint by indorsing across the face thereof these words: "This officer and soldier was killed In battle at the head of his command while leading a successful charge on the. Intrenchments of the enemy on April S3. 1'D. I wish It were within my power to render him and you a greater service." Hovr Filipino Got Supplies. WASHINGTON.

The World says: "Senator Fryo was asked, last night, what he thought would ' be the result of the Coghlan incident. He said: 'It may result unpleasantly to Captain Coghlan, but I have no Idea that a war with Germany will be the outcome. There will be no war. If Germany should wage war on the United States she would lose her best customer and would have a revolution on her hands at home within six months. " I believe that Speaker Reed intends to resign. I have been satisfied on that score for 'some lime. In my opinion Mr. Reed's retirement is actuated solely by a desire to improvo his financial condition, and he thinks there is a better chance to do eo In Now York than In Maine. Still, I won't say that Mr. Reed has not also a political anchor to windward and realizes that New York offers many opportunities for political preferment. "The situation In the Philippines Is not nearly so good as J should like to see it. When we were in Paris no one connected with the commission believed that more than 5,000 or 10,000 soldiers would be needed there at any time, I believe the Filipinos will soon learn that American governors are not like their Spanish predecessors. The Idea is a false one. I am hopeful that the troubles In the Islands soon will come to an end. ' "About the coming presidential campaign? I have not glyen it much attention. In my opinion Bryan will be nominated by the Democrats. Free silver will certainly be an Issue If Bryan baa his way, but it is my belief that the Issues of the war will be the features in the next presidential campaign. "What will the Senate do In relation to Quay? I can't speak for all the senators, but I know that I shall vote to seat Mr. Quay. DELAWARE SENAT0RSHIP. Governor Tnnnell Will Not . Fill the Vacuncy Caused by the Deadlock. DOVER, Del., April . 25. Governor Tunnell. in an Interview to-day on the probability of his following the example of Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, and appointing a United States senator from Delaware to succeed Serator George Gray, the Legislature having adjourned without electing hia successor, said: "I have given the matter no consideration, and there is no probability of my appointing a senator. I hardly think It wauld bo worth while to take such action, for the reason that if I should appoint a senator ho could only serve until the next session of Congress and would then have to run hla chances of being seated or turned down. So far as Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, establishing a precedent is concerned, I don't think It will hold, as decisions rendered on this point have been vogue for many years, and It Is hardly probable that the Senate will now reverse its opinion in this particular case." COLORED "JACKIES." White Sailors Think There Are Too Many Negroes on the ew Orleun. NEW YORK, April 25. The United States cruiser New Orleans is scheduled to leave the Brooklyn navy yard on May 7. She is to go to New Orleans for the purpose of permitting the city the Is named for to see her, and the men and crew have anticipated a pleasant voyage. However, there is much discontent among the white men of the crew in reference to the large number of colored recruits that have been assigned to the vessel. Of the 112 men who already have been taken on thirty are colored. The white sailors say that in view of the race feelir in the South, they believe the reception to the crew wi.i be less hearty on account of the unusually large percentage of colored men on the vessel. The cruiser will remain ut New Orleans for a month and then return to the Brooklyn yard. y NEST OF SMALLPOX. Thirty Cnes Found In Kannn City, Kan., Among; n Colony of Xegroes. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. April 25.-A negro, broken out with smallpox sores and delirious from the disease, ran through the streets of Kansas City, Kan., this evening. His capture by the police revealed the fact that the disease is epidemic among the negroes of that city. So far nearly thirty cases of smallpox have been found, twenty of the cases found in one thickly settled block. It appears that the health authorities first made a wrong diagnosis of the disease?, and later, when they discovered Its nature, attempted to conceal the facts. Tonight a strict quarantine was established in the infected districts and It is hoped that the warm weather will aid in stamping out the disease. Movement of Steumer. BOULOGNE, April 23.

Any one wno Imagines that the bicycle and the automobile have to any great extent reduced the price of really desirable l.orseflesh has only to Interview a dealer in order to become convinced of the unwisdom of such a belief. A Thlrty-second-slreet livery-stable keeper visited yesterdaymorning by a man and his wife, who had heard he had a jialr cf likely cobs to dispose of, promptly hitched the animals to a light road waRon and drove them up and down for their Inspection. "Six hundred dollars" was his answer when asked to name the figure, and they were, moreover, oa own fcumiisloa, practically green

horses from the country. They were a bit undersized, too, and not any too stylish In action or looks. The lady explained that the wanted better horses not necessarily the best in New York, byt a pair that would do credit to any equlpase and attract attention in the park. She was informed civilly enough that she could get such horses, and plenty of them, but that they would cost her $2,D00 to $3,000 a pair. That does not look very much as if the fancy horse were done for yet, though the cheap cab animal may be in a bad way. R. J. OGLESBY'S FUNERAL

General Torres served notice on the American merchants that unless they paid the duties demanded by night he would close up their places of business and confiscate their receipts. The merchants held a meeting and decided to close their stores. The doors were locked and sealed and the American flag hoisted over each. Tho consequence was that when the Jarl left there was not an American doing business in Bluefields.

PASS ON ALL RAILROADS

IM3IORTAL J. Xn THE PHILOSOPHER, TELLS HOW 11C CiOT T1ILVM. Han Devoted Ills Life to Truth, and for that Reason Found He Couldn't Practice Lnrr. New York Tress. Immortal J. N., philosopher and disciple of truth, is fighting for life in Urbana, 111. No more, perhaps, will he able to use the hundreds of passes permitting him to rido "for eternity and one day" on the railroads of the country. For this queer character, unable to enter the legal profession because it would debar him "from living the truth," traveled to the East and the West lecturing for the cause, yet never paid a cent in car fare. Jacob Newman Free, the name by which he was known early in life, was born seventy-one years ago in Chambers-burg, Pa. During the gold excitement he drifted to California, and there discovered his natural gift of eloquence. With an immense throng ho attended the trial of a man arrested on an unjust charge. He pushed to the front, took up the cause of the accused, cleared him and made his own name a household word. Although he had never read a puge. of law, he was consulted and employed in all the important cases which occurred during his stay In California, He went to Ohio and entered the Cincinnati Law School; but, satisfied that law and truth could not go hand in hand, he left that Institution without securing a diploma, In 1S33 he started out as a peripatetic philosopher, and for the last thirty-nine years he has been a wanderer, doing what he could do in his own way. It Is generally supposed that it takes money to travel, a fact clearly disproved by the "Immortal J. N.," who never paid a cent. Railroad fares, lodging, board, reading matter, writing materials and even his clothing are free to J. N. It's easy enough for him to secure a pass now, but If asked how he got the earlier ones J. N. will reply: "I bartered truth for security until truth should become more popular," an answer giving but a vague idea of his methods. The actual method by which he secured them was to approach a conductor on a train, or a superintendent, general passenger agent or president in his office, and say: "I feel my inability to meet the demands for the fare that will be exacted of me and am compelled to ask you to favor me with a ride and wait for payment until my principles of philosophy are understood by the people. Truth is my banker and his funds appear to be exhausted, and 1 have no prospect of a replenishment until he becomes more popular." Persistence generally brought the pass. Trip passes were issued at first, but soon the "eternity and one day" variety became much more popular with the bored officials. These passes are invariably signed by every officer of the road who Is unable to escape the wanderer. Some of them bear curious indorsements. One reads: "This pass, to Immortal J. N. and one. Is Issued upon the ex press understanding that the recipient will, for all eternity, lift the pressure off of this line and all Its connections." Another of them gives him the right to walk over the right of way of the road, and Is issued by the Chicago & Erie, running from Chicago to Marion, O. When the philosopher was told that he might have a pass to walk over the right of way he replied that it would be eminently satisfactory, and Immediately took the cars at Chicago for a point In Indiana. The conductor found J. N. walking up and down the aisle, and in response to his request for fare was tendered the pass. "But this pass gives you only the right to walk over the right-of-way!" "Great Jehoshaphat!" replied J. N.t "what do you think I'm doing?" J. N. always walks when he rides on the C. & E.; but he rides. J. N. has no difficulty In getting passes now. When a new road is organized he presents himself at the Keneralfflc and, displaying the accumulation of years, immediately receives a new pass. A general passenger agent would consider himself a hoodoo to thn road should he refuse J. N. this favor. It's a part of a railroader's education to learn to accommodate J. N.. and. although many of the signers have gone to their' long rest, his right to travel on the passes is never questioned. The&e favors were never forgotten by J. N. -Today, offhand, he can tell the name of every man who ever gave him a pass, and the name of any one who has in forty years assisted him in his great work of removing the pressure, or lifting the veil, off truth." always spelled by hlra with a capital T. His memory is marveloua. He never forgets a face, and therein lies much of his success as a traveler. Not oniy does J. N. remember faces and names, but he also studiej the traits of these he meets. As soon as he enters a town he Invades a newspaper office, appropriates the desirable exchanges, corrals all the paper and envelopes in sight and proceeds to write to his friends, making it a point In each case to touch on some pet hobby. J. N. secures a certain amount of funds "for truth" by his lectures. If truth were universally practiced this would not be necessary, he explains When his funds get low he looks around for some apparently sympathetic person and says: "Have you the nerve to stand the pressure for Jl? I mean by "that, can you sacrifice your prejudice for the love of money and assist me to lift the veil of truth?" If his listener shows the slightest Inclination to comply it is encouraged by "You have the nerve for truth. I appreciate the offer as much as the act performed," which generally brings the cash. Occasionally, when the "sympathy" Is great and the sympathizer's funds not ample, J. N. returns the money within a few weeks. As a rule, however, ho considers it as stock invested by the giver. J. N. Is extremely grateful to the railroad people, who have afforded him so many opportunities to travel, thus enabling him to elucidate his principles and spread his philosophy. He wishes to see them rewarded with sold medals, on which shall be Inscribed: "A token of appreciation of truth, whilst enshrouded in error, which has always prevented It from beinr accepted." "Thus," he says; "they not only would realize the great assistance they have been to me. but would be interested equally In all who have enlisted under my banner of truth, thus equalizing the prejudice that is ever connected with those who encourage Ideas that are In conflict with the opinion of mankind." Which suggests the Idea that J. N. would have passes given to all his followers. SPIKED SHOES. Maine LeelMlntnre Ha Prohibited X Their l'e In Public Place. Bangor Letter in New York Sun. The Maine Legislature haa passed a bill forbidding the wearing of spiked shoes or boots in public places and imposing a heavy fine for violation of the law. This is hailed with Joy by the railroad companies and the proprietors of hotels, barrooms and other places frequented by river drivers, for they all suffered greatly from the spiked shoe. When the river drivers leave the Vgs at the up-river booms and board the trains for Bangor they don't stop to change their clothes, but come to town with red shlrt nailed shoes- ond all. They prod the car floors full of little holes and tear rents in the cushions of the seats, occasionally alo Jabbing a few of the spikes Into the insteps of unarmored passengers. When they leave the cars they proceed directly to the saloons and there they work more havoc. Last spring a lot of drivers got Into a barroom where a new maple floor had Ju3t been laid, and after they had crunched around the place long enough to spend J2 for whisky tho floor looked as though it had been peppered with bird shot, and the saloon keeper reckoned his loss at $W. He had made about 0) cents profit on the drinks, and so he charged up r2M0 to the spiked shoes. All over Biuigor may be seen floors punched full of little holes by the shoe calks if river drivers, and there is scarcely a policeman in the clcy who has nit been prodded with the spikes of drunken drivers The spikes are a great help to a man who has to skim around on slippery lops for a living, but when it conies to wealing them in town every one but the drhers suffers. So the Legislature, after allowing the nuisance to go on unlnrer.'upted fr ihei many years, has at last drawn the line against the tplkes and the line Is at Penobscot boom.

It Is well known that nrtise increares a subordinate's) opinion of his own importance, and may cause him to ask for an Increase of salary, which ia very undesirable from the point or view of a capable manager, even though It Is considered round business policy to pay salaries and wages that are su&clently high to keep all employes satisfied. But, besides being able to act as referee on all questions that may arise In the ordinary course of affairs and decide them quickly, the Ideal raanaper must constantly b3 thinking out new schemes for the deveN opment of business. He must be continually pushing out in new directions and. organizing eacn new department he creates, and in some cases the manager devotes all his time to Investing the funds of the corporation advantageously.

The Value of a Quarter of a Cent. Ainslee's Magazine. But all the high salaries do not go to managers. An expert who Is pre-eminent In his own del artment sometimes earns a salsry that seems fabulous. In industires where profits are calculated In fractions of a cent on each pound of a commodity produced, the value of an expert who Is as nearly as possible Infallible. :n his calculations can hardly be estimated. In the case of ugar refining this is particularly true. Even though Mr. Havemeyer once raid testily to an investigating ccmrolttee that was questioning him ar an increase of a quarter of a cent a I d on sugar, "Who cares for a quarter cent?"
