PROGRESS MADE BY PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO Mrs. Elliott, of New Castle, Writes of Work Accomplished in Public Institutions. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLK. In1., April 8. In a letter from San Juan, Forto Rico, to frkneia in this city Mrs. W. II. Elliott, of this city, say: "Porto Ilico is certainly making rapll projrrers In every way. The churches are doing roo-1 work. P.i?hoi Cranston spent a month here. He was delighted with the advancement of the work, lie salil h thought he was going to a foreign country, but when he arrived he found things so far beyond hi3 expectation that ho could hardly believe his own eyes. 'Gur maternity hospital U doing a great work In Porto Ilico. They are now beginning to see the result of their work. The tioctor told me they had performed some very precarious operations. There is a. prevalent disease here among the natives, the technical name of which I do not recall. It la a peculiar disease of the abdomen. A successful operation was j-rformMi for it in our hospital for the first time and it was done by a native physician. Since then they have performe! nearly fifty of the same character and all have been successful. "Since living in Forto Ilico I had never been down to visit the penitentiary "n11 a ffv weeks ego. From the Marina to tno building the way is beautiful. It is called 1 paseo de la Prlm-'-sa, the Prlncc-ßs s walK. named for on of the prine-essts of Spain. On one tide of the walk are all kinds of palms and flowers with a tine view of the sea at the end. The building is a very neat one. paint 1 In imitation of brick. e found the warden very kind and obliging. He took us first to the work shop, -where we found about twenty-five men busy making different pieces of furniture for the St. Louis exposition, all made by hand. Some of the work was exquisite, one piece especially, an oflice desk and table combined, was a perfect beauty. The top was inlaid with native wood, the light, orange, and the dark, mahogany. The little squares were fitted in so accurately In a rretty design which was wonderful to me, and when you think of the man not knowing one letter from another. They make cuitars all of the inlaid wood, and take cocoanut shells 'and carve and polish them until you hardly know what they are. Th. officials have the prisoners do all of the work. We went to the kitchen and saw the men cooking, they were just. taking the bread out of tha oven. It looked fine. I have not seen lighter or whiter looking bread in Porto Ilico. They were also dishing up the soup for their dinner. I counted twenty tin tubs (about the -size of" a foot tub), and of course I presume there were a great many more, for they could not all eat at once. The Boup looked nice and clean, and plenty rich enough. With such nice-looking bread and soup to eat the prisoners have not anything to complain of in that line. The building was scrupuously cl'-an. and everything is done .'n the most systematic order. There are atout 4Ö0 men in this one building. The saddec. sight to rne was when the warden ordereo them to form in line on cither side and had us walk down the center. Some of them could look at us as we passed down, others hung their heads; one old grayhaired man especially attracted my attention. He was very old. stoop-shouklcred and almost blind. I presume he was at K-ast eighty years old, and perhaps has fcpnt most of his life In prison. The warden told us there were over 1Ü0 of the men that could neither read nor write, and about seventy-five that absolutely knew nothing at all. They have a schoolroom fitted up for them, and they make them study and recite every day. It was a most pitiful sight to me. I think so much wors in this country, on account of so much ignorance. "The garden surrounding the building. is a most lnautlful spot, all kinds of roses, from different countries and every kind of flower one can think of. When we left the gardener gave me all the roses I could possibly carry In my arms... - "From the workshop we were conducted to the room where they have stored the materials for shoes, hats and other things, all of which are mad by the prisoners. The warden then had brought to us crochet work, forae of which was made from 100 thread. There were little purses, handkerchiefs and doilies. One man brought us a pair of fancy black hose which he was knitting as our grandmothers used to knit. We bought some work, and as we were leaving they gave us each a little souvenir. "Now 1 must tell you about a darkey wedding. Dr. Drees, the superintendent of missions for Porto Rico, had a very nice little housemaid, and she had a beau. They decided they must get married and asked Dr. Drees to perform the ceremony. lie told them ali right, let him know when they were readj-. Mrs. Drees came to call one day and was telling us about it, and asked If we would not like to come to the wedding. A few evenings later (Saturday, of course) she telephoneel us to come to her house at 8 o'clock. We went out, found the guests were all there waiting for the bridegToom. It seems they were just a little suspicious he might not show up at the last moment, but he did. Dr. Drees wanted to Impress them with the seriousness of the marriage ceremony, so he called in a native eloctor that lives in the neighborhood and an American gentleman to sign the marriage certificate, which he expects to have framed for them, hoping it will help to remind them of the sacrednesa of the occasion. After we had waited a little while the bridegroom came sauntering up the back steps, almost white, he was ra scared, anel with big drops of perspiration rolling down his face. When Mrs. f Drees asked him if hi3 mother and sisters were not coming he said: "No. tlod forbid." When we were called into the room whore they were to stand I vish I could describe the look on their faces when they aw they had a white American audience. The bride took on n air of importance, but the poor man was almost shaking out of his shoes. He hurriedly repeated the ceremony after Dr. Drees, but you should have seen the bride. She acted as if she comprehended every word she was naylng, but her face looked perfectly blank; I could not think of anything but a falseface. We could hardly keep from laughing. The bride wore a white dres3, very short, but she wore a long veil pinned on with orange blossoms, a gift from the groom. She said she must have a veil or people would think she had been married before. The groom did not wear the conventional black. He wore gray trousers, a black sack coat, white canvas shoes with brown leather trimmings, a bright red and white striped shirt (broad stripes, too). high celluloid collar, with a pink and blue tie, a double bow, pink and blue loop at each end. Imagine the combination. It certainly was funny. RYAN AND GARDNER GO SIX ROUXDS T0l DRAW Lowell Man Had Better of First Four Rounds, but Weakened at Close. CHICAGO. April S. Jimmy Gardner, of Lowell, Mass., and Ruddy Ryan, of Chicago, fought six rounds to-night to a draw. During the first four rounds Gardner gained a decided advantage by jabbing Ryan incessantly without a return. Toward the end of the fourth round Gardner swung heavily on Ryan's jav and the latter half fell and half slipped to the floor. Ryan forced matters in the fifth round and weakened Gardner with a right to the stomach. Gardner was compelled to slow up and this enabled Ryan to even up th advantage Gardner had obtained in the earlier rounds. Near the end of the sixth Gardner revived and was taking the lead when the tight ended. The decision was well received. In the preliminaries "Twin" Sullivan, of Huston, was given the decision oif peint3 over Hilly Moore, of Syracuse. N. Y. GOODWIN AXXIOUS TO FIGHT YAXGER Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MILWAUKEE, April 8. Chester Goodwin to-day ismu'd challenge to tight Penny Yan ger. Goodwin is willing to meet Yanger at any weight and under any conditions that the Chicagoan names. "I will take Yancer on at IZd or V2i ringside," said Goodwin, "or 122 pounds at 2 o'clock on the day of the battle. 1 bel'evo I can whip him and lll concede anything within reason."

Waves Too IIIäU for Steamboats. OWENSDORO. Ky.. April S.-The end of a Southern tornado struck Owensboro and vicinity to-day. The street-car power house was partially demolished and not a street car is running In the city. Much other damage has been done, especially to telcgrapth and telephone companies. Waves ran so high on the Ohio river that steamboats were obliged to tie up. Sandstorms In Oklahoma. GUTH1E, O. T., April 8. At Guthrie and in Oklahoma in general high winds and sandstorms prevailed during the day, accompanied by a cold wave, unusual for this time of year. In Indian Territory storms are general, accompanied In places by rain. At Featherstone. on the Fort Smith & Western Itailroad. Frank Fonder, a section foreman, was killed by lightning. AVInel Strike World's Fair. ST. LOUIS, April 8. The high wind that prevailed here to-day completely destroyed the partly completed bazaar building In the Japanese reservation at the world's fair this afternoon, not a timber being left standing. None of the workmen was injured. I TASTES TO Members of Diet Squad Hail with Delight Relief from Cereals and Vegetables. TESTS FOR THE ARMY NEW HAVEN, Conn.. April 8. "Another helping, please, sergeant, of that corned beef; never mind the 'and part of the menu. We've had enough of vegetables, I guess," said a member of the diet squad in the barracks when they were, for the first time 'in more than six months, given as much meat as they liked. "Did we relish the meat? I never tasted anything in Forto Rico or in the Philippines, even after a long hike, that came so near to being food for the gods," said one of the soldiers. "We've had Just a taste, you know, of meat in the last few weeks," he added, "but it was only in the form of soup. It was cereals in mush, in tablets, in cakes and every other way. We got no meat by itself, and when Professor Chittenden gave the mess cook a tip yesterday to serve up real good corned beef and cabbage the cook did it with a vengeance. Some of us. perhaps, ate a bit too much of the meat. It was kind of a meat Jag for me, anyway." . So anxious was one private in the squad that he bought' a dozen big. juicy pork chops to prepare for himself and a friend in case the cereal diet rbould prove to be still the only thing on thi .nenu. The chops were on the table for the last meal. Whether thf ir prospective Joy over release from the tests was the explanation of the abounding good humor, that a few of the younger showed late at night on their way to the barracks is matter for conjecture. A coterie of Yale students who were In town over Easter recess thought the good humor was attributable to refreshments which they provided generously in a cafe for the dieters. But all is not sunshine in the barracks. A fortnight ago all the men rere given to understand, they say, that as a reward for their patience during the tests they would be iermitted to go to the St. Louis exposition, or, if they preferred it. might choose an army post. Instead, two of them learned that they will bo sent to the Philippines and two others f Governor's Island. The latter believe that place to bo only a stepping stone to the Philippines. Several of the men. however, wh were eager to go to St. Louis are to be satisfied. AMATEUR CHAM PI OX TRAVIS I VOX TROPHY PINE1IUKST. N. C. April 8.

PROF, BO'ffiE FOUND NOT GUILTY OF HERESY CHARGE

Boston University Man Is Acquitted in Methodist Conference at New York. NEW CHARGES IGNORED NEW YORK. Apiil S.-In the New York East Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church to-day the committee to which had been referred the charg-cs of heresy against Professor Horden P. Bowne, of Boston University, reported that they had found that none of the five specifications in the charge had been substantiated and that they had therefore acquitted him. This closed the case, as the action of the committee was final. The charges were made by .the Rev. George A. Cook, of West Medford, Mass., and were based principally on certain statements made by Professor Bowne in his philosophical works, which were alleged to bo inconsistent with the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Shortly after the report of the committee jivas read the Rev. C. S. Wing, presiding elder of the Brooklyn North district, announced that new charges of a different nature had been lodged with him by the Rev. Mr. Cook against Professor Bowne. These accusations were three In number, and in subStance were as follows: First That he was guilty of writing libelous articles in the Zion Herald in lS'Jl. These articles editorially attacked Edwin S. Schell. D. D., secretary of the Epworth League, and caused a suit for libel to be instituted against Charles Parkhurst, the editor. Dr. . Schell received a verdict for $24,X), and Parkhurst appealed, alleging that he did not write the articles complained of. The case is in the Massachusetts courts. Second That he was guilty of making1 statements to reporters of the Boston papers defaming the character of others when talking about the case just decided. Third That he had stirred dissension in the church. Writing in the Methodist Review May, 1S98, on "Ethical Legislation in the Church," he characterized the methods of some of the clergy as "fussy." The charges were placed in the hands of a committee of three, which subsequently recommended that they be not considered, and the recommendation was adopted by the conference. Edwin S. Schell. D. D., is presiding elder of the Crawfordsville district of the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Church. TIN PLATE COMP AX Y MAY CLOSE ALL PLANTS PITTSBURG, April S.-Representatives of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company and also of the independent concerns were present at to-day's sessions of the expanded conference of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers to consider the proposed reduction in the tin plate and sheet steel scales. The representatives of the American Company stated positively that it will be Impossible to operate the plants unless the reduction 13 accepted. This is taken to indicate that the company will close all of its union sheet -and tin plate plants if the delegates do not vote in favor of the proposed reduction. DYSPEPSIA LURKS III IE SOUP STATESJH CONSUME Members of Congress Are Dissatisfied with Their Capitol Boarding Hquse. RIVER WATER TO DRINK WASHINGTON. April S. Members of Congress are greatly disgusted with their Capitol boarding house. They assert there Is dyspepsia in the soup, indigestion in the pte and insomnia in the beans, that the service is poor, the prices high, and besides there is nothing to drink except Fotomac river water, which, at this season of the year. Is so thick that" it can best be handled with a shovel. Their indignation found expression in a resolution passed amid applause and without a dissenting vote to authorize the committee on accounts to inquire and report to the House at the earliest practicable date as to the desirability and feasibility of conducting the House restaurant by other business methods "than those now in vogue." The resolution was offered by Representative Graff, of Illinois, and is the result of long-standing protests against the bill of fare provided by the men who hold the concession for providing the members with the miriday lunch. That the privilege of conducting the House restaurant is a valuable one has long been recognized. One of the concessionaries, formerly the proprietor of a hotel In Washington, was a favorite of the late Speaker Reed, and originally obtained the concession from him. and has always managed to hold It. The proprietors pay no rent, nothing for heating and lighting, and are required to furnish only the food, the service and equipment. The prices are slightly in excess of the popular restaurant prices outSide the Capitol, but there are no lunch rooms In close proximity to the building, and hence the House restaurant enjoys a monopoly. Since the privilege of selling liquor in the Capitol, for which no license was paid, was taken away by the Fifty-seventh Congress, the proprietors have declared that there la no money in the business, and, accordingly, both food and service have deteriorated, until members declare that their disgruntled condition, ill-temper In debate, inability to properly transact business, and other ills are all due to what they characterize as "bum grub." The plan now is to do away with the concession and have the House itself enter into the business of running a lunch counter. It already maintains a "pie" counter, and why not a full lunch counter, the members say. It Is proposed that the committee on accounts shall designate a manager or chef to buy provisions, conduct the restaurant, procure the best the market affords, sell it at cost, receive a salary for his scrvices, and if there is a delicit the same will be made good out of the contingent fund. DE A TH OF A WOMAN x WRITER AND AUTHOR Miss Alix J. Müller, for Love of Whom Bandit James Younger . Committed Suicide. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 8. Miss Alix J. Muller, a newspaper writer and author, for love of whom James Younger, a bandit, committed suicide, is dead in Oklahoma of consumption. She was twenty-nine years old. At the time of the suicide of James Younger it was said that one of the causes leading to the act was ls inability to marry Miss Muller. She at one time edited a weekly paper in Lo Angeles and was later on the staff of a Salt Lake City newspaper. She was the author of several books. Instructed for Roosevelt. SALT LAKE CITY. April 8.

TERMS OF TREAT!

SIGNED

Bt FRENCH AND France to Guard Tranquillity of Morocco England Gets Full Sway in Egypt. IN FORCE THIRTY YEARS LONDON, April S. The Anglo-French colonial treaty was signed in the Foreign Oflice in London to-day. It comprises three separate instruments, the main features of which have been outlined from time to time in the Associated Press dispatches. The first instrument deals with Egypt and Morocco, the second with Newfoundland and West Africa, and the third with Siam, the New Hebrides and Madagascar. . By the terms of the treaty the present political situation in Morocco and in Egypt remains unchanged and a full agreement is reached regarding Egyptian finances. Great Britain recognizes the right of France to guard the tranquillity of Morocco, while France will not imix'de the action of Groat Britain in Egypt, and Great Britain adheres to the convention of for the neutrality of the Suez canal. It is agreed that public works and oth-r undertakings in Egypt and Morocco shall remain in the hands of the respective states. The freedom of trade in Egypt and Morocco is guaranteed for thirty years, and, if the convention shall not be renounced before the expiration of that period it is to remain in force for four years more. In order to assure the freedom of the Straits of Gibraltar it is agreed that no fortification can be erected on the Moroccan coast between Melilla and the mouth of the Sebu river. The two governments promise mutual assistance for the execution of these arrangements. In Newfoundland France foregoes exclusive fishing rights on the French shore, though retaining her right to rish. The bait bill of 1SS6 is modified so as to give Newfoundlanders the right to sell bait to French fishermen. Indemnities will be given the owners and employes of French establishments on the French shore in exchange for the abandoned fishing rights. France obtains three concessions regarding territory in West Africa. Under the terms of the first there is to be a territorial readjustment on the Zambesi, giving France access to the portion of the river navigable to ocean-going ships; under the second, France secures six Los islands, and under the third, there is to be a readjustment of the frontier line between the River Niger and Lake Ishad, giving France a route through a fertile country. In the case of Siam, the two countries confirm the declaration of 1806, determining its precise meaning with regard to preexisting differences. With regard to the New Hebrides, the British and the French governments agree to anpolnt a commission which will decide the land disputes between the inhabitants. Concerning Madagascar, Great Britain withdraws the protests made at various periods against the French economic regime there. PRAISE FOR EDWARD, LOU BET AND OTHERS LONDON, April 9. The government has long been a. stranger to such a chorus of universal approval and congratulation as that exhibited editorially this morning in all the London newspapers because of the happy conclusion of the Anglo-French negotiations for a colonial treaty. This approval is none the less whole-hearted because it is recognized that France has obtained substantial concessions while surrendering little of real value. King Edward Is again hailed as a successful diplomatist, and the greater portion of the thanks is accorded his Majesty for having initiated the rapproachement and to President Loubet for having received the overtures in a corresponding spirit. Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign secretary, and M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, are equally complimented for their notable services to the cause of peace between the two countries. FARIS, April 9. Although the AngloFrench entente does not appear to provoke enthusiasm, the general tone of. the press, even of newspapers hostile to the government, is distinctly favorable, the editorials for the most part expressing relief that the possible causes of the conflict between France and Grat Britain have been removed without the making of undue sacrifices on the part of France. OLD CIRCUS RIDER MAY GET HIS REWARD Walsh May Profit by His Twenty Years of Patient Waiting. DULUTII, Minn., April 8. The Walsh Mining Company, which has just been organized with T. J. Walsh, of Tower, as president, will soon determine whether Mr. Walsh is to reap a rich reward for twenty years of waiting, and sixteen years of litigation, to get title to land in Section 4, 1-15, on the Vermillion range, or whether he will be doomed to disappointment. The mining company owns 300 acres altogether, but there is an interesting story in connection with Mr. Walsh acquiring title to the land in Section 4. which Is especially timely now, that it is to be explored for iron ore. The surface indications on the property are very flattering, and diamond drills and an exploratory shaft will determine the mineral content of the lanel. Mr. Walsh was a bareback rider with Barnum's circus back in 1S81, and after becoming tired of that life after an experience of thirteen months, quit the business and came to Duluth. He joined the throng of people rushing into the Vermillion range country, there being considerable excitement over the discovery of iron ore. He took a claim In Section 4, 61-15, and bfore very long he found that an effort was being made to shoulder him out of the country and deprive him of his land. He had taken the land under the homestead act. First one contestant and then another appeared to try and wrest the land from Walsh, as the surface indications were favorable for Iron ore, and the history of the iron range is that men were often deprived of lands by foul means as well as fair. It is a matter of record in the United States land office that Mr. Walsh walked 5,600 miles over the old Vermillion trail between Duluth and his property, situated near Tower, while trying to comply with the homestead act. That was in the days before the Duluth & Iron Rang? Railroad penetrated the wilderness to the north. .Mr. Walsh carried all his provisions on his back a distance of one hundred miles, over snow and Ice in winter and through water and muskeag swamps in summer. While absent on these trips his homestead shanty was burned down five different times by parties who wished to discourage him to abandon his claim. But Mr. Walsh was possessed of good Irish lighting blood, and would neither be ellscouraged nor driven, and he finally won out. . , The positive existence of iron ore on Section 4 was proved in nn exceptional and Interesting manner. Last summer while clearing land for a hay meadow Mr. Walsh discovered Iron under a few inches of moss and mold. Stripping the showing, two men in three days' time uncovered a formation 210 feet wide, and the boundaries were not reached. Neither wall was found, and further work will have to be done to determine them. Fatal Quarrel at Poker Game. WHEELING. W. Va.. April 8. At Proctor. W. Va.. D.

Although It Is too early In the year to get any definite idea of the arrangements of the leading college teams' for the football season, it is evident that moderation will be the keynote In the sport next fall. This has been demonstrated in various ways. The suggestion Is made that the rule'of last year preventing more than four players being behind the line between the twenty-five-yard marks be made to apply to the whole playing of the clubs. The rules committee last season frankly admitted that thl3 regulation was an experiment, aimed to satisfy the demand for less mass play and more open field work. Despite the protests of a certain clique of coaches, the rule met with great favor among the spectators at the big games and in no way detracted from the sport. In fact, so popular was the move that there has sprung up a demand for n similar rule which shall include the entire gridiron rather than a restricted portion of the field, and the rules committee will seriously consider the question at Its meeting this month. Another indication which points to an attempt to lessen the strain upon the players at tho big colleges is evident in the schedules that have been announced. Harvard and lrineeton are the first of the Eastern universities to give publicity to the playing schedules of tne eleven for the season of 1901. In both instances the tendency to decrease the number of hard games and sport in the playing term is clearly evident. This is done to relieve the great strain upon the players. Another feature of the schedule announced to-day is the absence of midweek games. In past years it has been the custom to arrange such contests for the early part of the season. This fall the case will be quite the reverse. Princeton will play but three midweek games, its opponents being Dickinson, Wesleyan and Fayette. At Harvard but two will be played, when the crimson meets Bowdoln and Bates. The schedule for the Yale eleven, which is not expected to be made public for several weeks yet. Is known to provide for one of the shortest reasons in the gridiron history of the New Haven university.

The army wife is after the War Department. She wants consideration for two propositions: The first that the department supply the quarters of officers with window shades, and the second that retired army officers be not detailed for recruiting service, college instruction and like special duties that take them in pleasant communities and large cities. The army wife complains, as an argument to sustain her first contention, that she has "lugged" window shades from the Pacific to the Atlantic, from Maine to Texas, from Fort Leavenworth to the Philippines, all her day, only to find that those fitted, to the quarters she vacates will not conform to the windows of the new quarters to which she goes. So she continues to inwst the price of several gowns, every three or four years, in window shades. As a tenant of the government she is prepared to demand better terms at the hands of her landlord in the line of equipment. In the second place, she says the only relief from the monotony of distant army posts, where her children may not be educated, except as she is able to teach them, or give them the surroundings that should belong to children, has been in details wi,-.h her husband has received to recruiting service or as an instructor at some college. These details, too, enable her to come In touch, now and then in her life, with civilization and this year's gowns. This almost single compensation for a life of frontier or Philippine work is now to be taken from her and retired officers are to be utilized for "snap" details. The Senate is considering the utilization of the retired officer, but the Senate is likely to hear from her. "But. according to the views of some, army officers should not marry." writes one fair Protestant, after summarizing her grievance and that of her sisters, "so of course this must not be considered." HIS HEART IS ON RIGHT SIDE OF THE BODY Six-Year-Old Boy Who Is Sturdy and Healthy, But Somewhat Nervous NEW YORK. April S.-Dr. Philip M. Grausman, of No. 227 West Forty-fourth street, has, found an anomaly in the case of a little ' patient. Van Norden Faunt, whose heart Is on the right side of his body. Little Van Norden, who lives with his parents at No. 609 Ninth avenue, does not suffer any inconvenience from the peculiar location of his heart. He Is a normal youngster, six years old, and is quite sturdy and healthy. "It is a remarkable case," said Dr. Grausman. "This transposition of the organ is very rarely found, and it is quite possible that I will make a report on it to the New York Academy of Science. As to any report that I intend to perform an operation on the boy, that Is all nonsense. The little fellow Is healthy and there Is no treatment or operation that could be ventured in such a case." Dr. Grausman has made a thorough study of the youngster's condition and he intimated that he misht later have some interesting matter to report to medical circles. According to Van Norden's parents the boy is somewhat nervous, and noise or excitement often cause his breast to beat with great rapidity. . Father Kra'a Appointment. ROME. April S.
