Puerto Rico. THE DILI, treating n civil gov ernment for Puerto Hlco and providing temporarily the revenue for lis support, which will today by presidential sig nature become a law, has or.counterod naturally the opposition of all Demo cratic politicians, because it Is the measure supported on the eve of a presidential campaign by the Repub lican administration which is asking to be continued in power Not so naturally an 1 not so expllc nbly, It has also encountered oppocl tlon from a number of Republicans dlstiibuted unevenly throughout sec tions of our countiy. Some of this opposition, we believe, has been In terested. It has been inspired by tho trusts, such as the two which, having bought up in Pueito Rico great re set ves of sugar and tobacco, hoped to get this meichandlse into the port at New York duty free; or by the milling trust, which finally succeeded in fotc lng the senate to ;ift the slight duty which It ut first proposed to levy nt Puerto Rlcan ports upon articles of food Imported fiom tho United States. S-'ome of It was the honest prompting of a ci editable sentiment which for the moment did not petceive the pecu liar necessity for a simple revenue hystem In Puerto Rico, while the struc tuie of the now civil administration was being put In place. To the citizens who have been in this last-mentioned fianie of mind to ward the bill which p.tbsej congiess yesteiday afternoon, wo say: .ludgo not by your feats but by the accom plished results. Cilv th new law a lair trial. Jlaybe all this hullabaloo has been wholly without substantial foundation. The Philadelphia Press figures out a net insut gent gain of fifteen In the legislative primaries to date. The Press scorns to specify whete they are. The Canteen Problem. -irOrir. riCRANTONIANS who 1 heard the iccent lecture or htte read the olllclal lu pous of Chaplain Charles C. Pierce, brother of Rev. Dr. K. V. Y. Pierce, pastor of the Penn Avenue f!apti.st church in this city, upon tho subject of the lltiuor problem in the Philippines know what his views aro upon the subject of the army canteen. So far as army conditions in the vicin ity of .Manila .no concerned, his testi mony Is that of a qualified witness and is entitled' to lespect. Thiu who would abolish all Intoxicating drink should have no nuarrel with a system which doe l. nearest ptacticablc thing In tho dltvulou of temperance reform by reducing the evils surrounding the soldier In the field, and this is the claim made for the army canteen by a huge niajoiity of Hi,. otllf-rs of oui army, whoso opinion the euinmatuler-ln-chiet is bound to lespect. Tho army canteen, to quote from an '"CPlnnutlnn given In the Philadelphia Tlincs, "Is simply a place wheie beer and non-lntoxlcillng dtluks may bo ., sold to aWte-Un'teC fixed. Upiltallons. v.

If It do-a this, It Is n valuable feature of mllltnry life. If It deos not, It ought to be possible to establish the fact ot Its fallmo through mllltnry channels. Senator Clark undoubtedly spent money nnd should be bounced in order to establish a wholesome cxninplc. Hut the cutthroats who havo been forcing him to light lire with lire hnd butter not try to get in his place, for If tho senate should ever have to In vestigate one of them It would unques tionably use a catapult. The Vice Prcsidcntinl Situation. w HAT pnKMK to bo a seml-nuthorltutlvo state ment on this subject ap pears in the Washington Post of vestetday. With the positive ness of direct and authentic Informa tion tlie Post says: Cornelius N'. llllss, of Now York. Is not to lie tlic Republican nomlnre tor tlif lu.pivslilcm.t. lie will not allow Ms name to bo considered. This ultimatum J' dellured by Idin to Senator llanna during the three horns' (ondiemc be tween the two 111 Xfwr Yoik last Mondav ntter r.oon. Senator lljiuia retiirneil Irom New Yoik and Philadelphia rally jesterdjy moinliw, and talked our the ilce-presldentlal rituatlnn with many senators during the day. Kmator Piatt, ot New York, beim? innonK tlie number. Mr. llllss' linmoNable determination Is a nutter ot sincere regret to the Itipubllean liaders, who had hoped to be able to Induce him to lie a candidate. Sen ator llanna brought eery argument possible to bear upon blin, telling him that he would strengthen the ticket in eerj section of the country, hut his nppiuls were In alu The New York Held Is now open between ltoosielt nnd Woodruff, with the former dec hiring that he does not want the nomination, nnd tlie latter woiklng Industriously to smile it. Seiutnr Piatt Mild jestcrday tint .Mi. Woodruu" would undoubtedly go to the contention with blends in the New Yoik ihtigatlon, but .Senator lliima does not bflistG that there 'will be enough of these blends to make a formidable showing In the mean time, (Ioernor Itooseielt's name will bo pushed to tlic front. In the hope that the comciilion will nominate him, despite his HsliicUii.it ion to be on the ticket. That Is the situation. Wo do not doubt tho perfect accuracy ot the statement. The attempt to fotce the vice-presidential nomination on New York has been only too obvious for some time. It has been made In th" teetli of the most emphatic protest on tho part of tho Republicans whose names have been suggested in that connection. From the outset It has been known that ex-Secretary Ullss would under no possible circumstances accept the nomination. Ooverncr Roosevelt has been even mote emphatic In his reit erated resolution not to be considered In the same connection. Po that If New York has been ninglcd out for tills distinction the inevitable candi date Is Mr. Timothy Woodruff. It seems lucrvdlblj, but stianger things have happened. Rut if It happens this year, it will be because Pennsylvania Republicans are lfctcant to their plain duty In not piesentlng nnd securing the nomination of Chatles Kmory Smith. It is an open field with no formidable opposition. The hour is auspicious: the candidate if Incom parable; tho opportunity belongs to tho state. AVe appeal to tlic Republican leaders throughout the state to bestir them selves In this behalf. We appeal to the pride of Pennylvanlans In this behalf. If Mr. Smith Is not nominated at Philadelphia It will be the stupid, indefensible, culpable fault of Penn sylvania Republicans. It is for the Republican leaders to Initiate tlie movement. It Is the plain duly of th'! approaching stnle convention to in dorse Mr. Smith and vigorously to urge his nomination. Factional polities ofei no pos!ble excuse for the smallest deielletlon In tills dliectlon. The Tribune, months ago, suggested Mr, Smith's nomination solely on account of its eminent ex pediency and tin honor It would give the t'tnte. Tlie Trlbuno was looking for a Ponnsylvanlan whose identifica tion with tlie active policies of the ad ministration would nt once entitle his name to consldoiation ns a vice presidential candidate. The man was found in Chailes Emory Smith. It Is belittling the opportunity lo think of factionalism In this i-unnectlon. It is discrediting the Mate to suggest it. The factlouallFl is lost in Mr. Smith's distinguished service In tlie gieater arena of American statesmanship. Uu is pre-eminently the Ponnsylvanlan for tho vice-presidency thU 5 car, and It Is pre-eminently Pennsylvania's oppor tunity to secuiu It. The Hatrisburg convention ought to act promptly and derisively in this mattci. Wheiever the Insut gents hae full ly won legislative nominations at tho pri mal les the leguhirs an; supporting them loyally. It Is only the disgruntled Insurgent who talks of bolting or of fusing with the Democrats. The Sultnn of Sulu. A KNT12RTAINING descrip tion of a visit to Uncle Sam's new ward, tho Sultan of Sulu, Is embodied in a letter to tho Washington Star written by Us distinguished editor, Mr. Noyo.s, who Is now Beolng what there Is to see in lur Oriental dependencies. .Mr. Noyes and party reached Jolo, tho chief city ot tho Island of Jolo, which Is the sultan's abiding place, on board an army transport that dropped anchor In tho Jolo hurbor Jan. lfi last. In honor of their coming, a number of festivities were urranged, which Include4 it vH't by the HUlttin to the transport, a ban quet ut which the Momamniedon con tingent received their first Introduction to American cuisine, and other novel features too numerous" to detail. At another time, we may present Mr, Noycs' Impression ot the Sulus In gen eral; at present we have eyes only for the sultan, whom tho Washington Jour nnllfU tints describes: "Ills majesty Is short nnd chubby, with dark, puffy, liock-marked face, 11 thin mustache of the rudimentary Japanese type, which failed to cover tin uply mouth, -and the dull eye of the blase, unenthuslastlo Turk. His filed nnd betel-stained teeth nto decayed and blackened. He wore a Huropenn suit of light gray, with white shirt and collar (.but lacking tie nnd cuffs), tan shoes and a close-fitting black velvet turban. A very btoad, looselv-tled cotton sash encircled his waist and was In Its breadth nnd In the extent to which It fell below tho bottom .of his coat the Incongruous oloment In his European costume, ile wore sev eral rings, Including a large pearl: a gold watch chain showed conspicuously outside his coat, and he carried a black, sllvor-heatled cane." As the sultan wus rowed out to the tiansport n saluto of 17 guns was fired In compliment to him, but the compli ment came near to being wasted. "At tlie first reverberation," says Mr. Noyes, "ho grasped n post ot the launch with one hand and braced himself against his seat with the other." He was plainly scared. On board ship he was greatly Impressed with the electrls lights and electric fans, mysteiics h could not fnthom. Another queer thing to tho visiting Moro dignitary was tho ice which was served at dinner aboard ship II,. had never seen Its like be fore; but utter experimenting found It ngreeable and drank copiously of sweetened Ice-water. Tho Ice cream was another puzzle, nnd the sultan, ut ter a mouthful, dismissed It, saying It wnp "loo cold." Later In the evening his Moham medan highness unbent sufficiently to pay several flattering compliments to the American ship, the Ameiican ladles and to Yankee ways In general, nnd declared his Intention of visiting tho United States. The furthest away ftom home he has yet been Is Meccn. Mr. Noyes expresses the opinion that the suggested trip of the sultnn and his brothers and a few of the most powerful dnttos to America could hard ly fall to have the most beneficial re sults In the maintenance of peace and good order In tho Sulu archipelago nnd the continuance of amicable relations between Americans and Moros, "The American tnlluence over them," he adds, "la strengthened In proportion as they me moved to wonder and admira tion by things American. Their Im pressions of tho republic are prac tically all to bo foimcd. Most of them have never before even heard of tho United States The' ability of tho Americans to sway the forces of na ture, as demonstrated to tho Moro mind In the applications of electricity and In the making of Ice, creates as deep an impression as the show of military strength in tlie fine dress parade of armed giants and in the booming of the great guns. The Indi cations ot interest in and regard for the Moios have also a good effect." What a lark a visit from the sultan to the piesldent nt Washington woula be for the Irrepressible representatives of our Irrevctent newspaper press! "In P. A. Phllbln," says the Olyphant (3a?ette, "the Republicans of the Fourth Legislative district have u good man and one who, If successful, would bring honor to the district." Nominate him and there need be little doubt of his being successful. A good way for all men to avoid the necessity for martial law and federal ttoops Is to behave themselves and keep the peace. Admiral Dewey now realizes tho an noyance attending a failure to get one's advance printing out early In the campaign. A correspondent of the Sun nomi nates General Otis for vice-president. He would make a good one. Thc-ro are no ex-presidents who are subscribing to the uewey doctrine that the presidency Is an easy Job. The weather evidently has a giudge upon tho man who prognosticates.

The extent of the timber re Kiunis of tho I'liited States will be shown by pit tint d from nil luipoitant lumber regions. Tlie distribution of forests will be shown by maps. Twenty t tic most impoitant American woods will be represented by sections ol tices. ... In 1 ounce I Ion with the Investigations of com- iih-icial trees by the division a set of tables lias betn piepaied for tho Adiroudatk hardwoods, by which vailous fluaiuial calculations can be made nccutulely and easily if the approximate num bei of tiees on a gluti area and average dlamettr are known. The moi.t important tables show : The value ot mature trees at different stunipage rates; value of immature trees of all ages at diffeirnt stunipage rates; Interest represented by 1111i1u.il giowth on the capital reproented by the trees; and Inteiest represented by annual grpwth in board feet en capital repiesented by land. 1'iuin t'uess .tables the timber owner can find the exact financial gain in waiting for his tim ber to glow to any given diameter, the Interest his forest Is earning on its cost, anil similar val uable Infoi in.ition. The tables are now com plete for the so-called Adirondack hardwoods, including )t-llow birch, sugar maple, beech, basswood, and cherry. Thesu hardwood table! am bated uen onales of 1,000 felled trees and upon actual mcatuic of tho merchantable timber upon l.ooo acres. A single acie of Washington timber, leecnlly mcasuicd by the dblslou ot forestry, contained 218,1)00 feet II. M. of red fir, 1,000 feet of hem lock, and 0,000 feet of cedar; making a total stand of 230,000 feet. The smallest fir on the nue was 3 feet In diameter and the largest 8 feet. Ihe height of the forest approximated 300 feet. The hemlock was sealed down to 20 inches in diameter and had it been scaled to 12 to It bit lies, as customary in the east, the stand would havo been several thousand feet greater. This acre was measured near Wilkeson, Waihing ton, aWuit 30 miles from Taeoma. Tlie averazo stand per aero for 111 acres measured by the same party n.-ar Iluekley, in the same county, was 71,402 fett of led fir, 30,105 feet of hemlock, 3,0X1 feet of cctlar. 2,173 feet of spiucc, and 5U3 f-.W-.. . - feet of white fir total stand of 112,270 feet. In these measurements no trees less than 2 feet In diameter were sealed. No allowance, how. ever, was made In the above calculation for cull. The 131 acre were taken In various parts of a township and represent with fair accuracy the stand throughout that township. The slgnfl once ot these figures Is apparent when It is re membered that 10,ixi0 feet per ncie Is considered a heay stand In all lumber legions cast of the Mississippi. Under their Instrui lions t tic new Philippine commission will aisu.ne entile control of the af fairs of the Island, and will perform legislative, administrative and executive duties. They will formulate municipal, provincial and a general system of government, making such laws as they may consider necessary for the proper govern ment of the Philippines. The commission also has authority to dsose of the many civil prob lems which have arisen by icason of the Filipino insurrection. They will have authority to grant omnesty to the revolutionary natives and to take measures to place the Island on a thoroughly peaceful footing, to attain which they will be empowered to hold conferences with tho Filipino leaders. The religious questions, involving the rights of the friars, villi come under their Juris. diction, as will also all applications for fran chises and concessions. The board will make its headquarteis In Manila, anil from Manila will Issue orders for the establishment of civil govern ments. It Is enpected that the commission will be occupied for several months In outlining Its work. There are hundreds if applications now on tile in tlie war department for franchises or concessions, anil the commission will Investigate each application and will have authority to re ject or grant it. The tariff features of the Porto Klein bill piswl in the house cstcrday and to be prompt ly signed by the president arc well understood, since they were the pivots of a most animated discussion in which the whole country partici pated. The civil government features are not so well understood. The government Is vested in a governor, appointed by the president, and two chambers called the executive council, which roughly corresponds to the upper house In a state legislature, and a lower chamber named the house of delegates. The house of delegates is to be composed of thlrt)-ftvc members elected by the people, and an elector must be able to lead and write either English or Spanish; mast be 2 years old, and possess taxable property on the Island. The executive council Is to ronslst of eleven members, nil appointed by the presi dent. Five of the council shall be Puerto lllcans, and six of the council will also be the following chief executive officers of the Island: Secretary, attorney general, treasurer, auditor, ccmmissloner of Interior oi.d commissioner of ed ucation. This council, thiough its commissioner of the interior, Ins chirge o! all public works, and Is given power uver all franchises by the following clause; "All grants of franchises, lights and privileges of a public or quasi-public nature shall be made by the executive council, with the approval ot the governor, and all fran chises granted in Pueito Hlco shall be reported lo congress, which licrebj resolves tlic povvei to annul or modify the same." Puerto Rico is to be represented at Wahli.gton by a territorial resident commissioner. It is the expectation that General Davis who served most efficiently as military governor and Is fully acquainted with existing conditions, will be nsmed by the presb dent as the first civil goiernor. It Is believed that this can be done without necessitating his resignation from the urmv.
