Ruffin, at Asuncion, has submitted a supplementary report on that subject to the State Depart- ment. The most abundant fibrous plant in Paraguay, says the consul, ie caraguata, which can be used for everything in the line of coarse textiles. He also mentions a very important textile, called “‘ibara,” which can be used for very delicate fibrous produc- tions and also for making paper, and san- saverde, which is remarkable for ita en- during qualities when submerged in water. Paraguayan pineapple leaves have an un. usually excellent fiber, and thus the cult!- ¥ation of that fruit is doubly advantageous. The price of a fiber-separating machine is estimated at about $400, and Consul Ruffin says that @ separating plant could be es- tablished some distance north of Asuncion. ———_+ + ____ it vou want work rea@ the want columns of Th: Star, OMicers Aanignéd td Regiments.

ROSS AGAIN ALBAN CONVEYED TO Y¥. History of Crime for Which He is Serving a Life Sentence— Partly Insane. John M. Ross, United States convict, un- der sentence of life imprisonment for mur- der, has been transferred from the Govern- ment Hospital for the Insane to the Albany penitentiary, from which institution he was sent to the asylum July 27 of last year. An idea permeated Ross’ mind to the effect that a residence near to the President of the United States would aid him in secur- ing a pardon from the chief executive, but this belief was apparently dissipated, and for some time prior to the date of sending him away he was not averse to the idea of returning to the penitentiary, and even re- quested the asylum physicians to take such action, Ross was given a lift over the first stage cf his return trip, between St. Elizabeth's Asylum and the railroad depot, in a fast- going automobile. There was nothing noted by the physicians at the asylum in the condition of Ross during his term there, it is said, that would lead to the belief that he belonged to the real insane class. At most he was regarded as weak-minded. His talk wes in the main rational, and his health was good. So far as can be learned there is no application for his pardon before the President. Tragedy in Yokohama. The case of Ross recalls a tragedy in the port of Yokohama, Japan, and a subse- quent determined legal contest to save him, not only from the gallows, but from any imprisonment as well. In May, 1880, the American ship Bullion was lying in the harbor named, and Ross, it is said, was one of the seamen serving on board. One day he and the second mate, Robert Kelly, be- came involved in an affray, which ended in the death of Kelly at the hands of Ross, who hacked his victim brutally with a sheath knife. Ross was placed in custody and taken before the United States consu- lar court at Kanawaga, Japan; was tried and sentenced by Thomas B. Van Buren, consul general, to be hanged at such time and place as the United States minister to Japan might direct. Then began the legal fight to save the condemned man. He was a British subject, although serving on an American merchant ship, and such juris- dictional questions which complicated the case were introduced by counsel that the United States minister postponed the execu- tion of sentence, believing the ends of jus- tice demanded it, and submitted the record of the case to the State Department for the President's consideration. Commutation of Sentence. President Hayes, as a result, commuted Ross’ sentence to imprisonment at hard labor for the term of his natural life in the Albany penitentiary, in the state of New York. Later the whole matter was carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, which body decided that all of the former proceedings were regular and proper In 1893 an application for executive clemency in Here case was made to President Cleve- jand. In reviewing the papers President Cleve- land arraigned the act of Ross as a cold- blooded murder, it is said, and concluded by stating he could not grant the pardon requested in the case. Ross is about forty- five years of age now, and it is understood he has friends. It remains to be seen whether he will be again returned to the hospital from Albany as insane. es SPEAKER HENDERSON'S LETTER. He Defends Action of the House on Porto Rico Bill. Speaker Henderson recently wrote at length to Edward Knott, U. S. marshal for the northern district of Iowa, the following letter explaining the position of the republi- cans in the House who voted for a tariff on Porto Rican products: “My Dear Mr. Knott: Yours of the 24th about Porte Rico is received. I cannot gather from your letter what you person- ally think of our action in the House, or what you think of the President, who thor- oughly agreed with us and worked with might and main to get the Hous> bill passed, and has been so working in the Senate. The question for me to settle as an individual representative is, What is my dau That question I asked and answered when I worked with my associates to pass the Porto Rican bill, “Now, let me get this matter clearly In your mind, Mr. Knott, for souner or later the country will understand our position. There are large quantities of to- bacco and sugar in Porto Rico, bought up by trusts and syndicates. They want to get that into the United States free of any duty, and when once in, of course, it will sell in the markets at the same ratas as the tobacco and sugar which have to pay the full tariff rates, thus giving hundreds of thousands of dollars’ profit to the cates, & cate: he trusts and syndicates are fighting the bill, and I have given you the reason wh There has not been nor is there now to my knowledge a lobby here working for the Porto Rican bill, but these syndicates and the codfish interests of New England and other interests, including the flour in- ter2sts, are all trying to get into Porto Rico without paying the 15 per cent duty on their products as proposed in the bill. While under the Dingley law a tax of $1, to illustrate, is imposed upon a certain article, under the Housz bill it would only pay 15 cents. “Second—Now, why have we imposed this per cent of the Dingley tariff. Let me answer this, and fix it in your mind: Porto Rico is poor, and has been swept by de- vastating and destructive floods. Her peo- ple are not at this time and in their pres- ent condition able to pay the expenses of their government. “No one wants the United States to pay the expenses of running the governments of any of our several new possessions. The people themselves in each of the islands, or groups, should pay their own expenses. How is Porto Rico to do this, now that she has no local government?) We must first give her local government, and both houses of Congress are at work upon that problem, and in my opinion that problem will be wisely solved when it is done. “But it will take a year and a half or two years to formulate a government for her, and to put it in running order, so that those people, with thelr own government machinery, may rafse money to run their own government. In the meantime what should be done? Follow the advice of the syndicates and trusts and tax this desolate island—or their lands, or their limited pro- ductions—or do as we propose and put this trifling duty upon thelr exports and im- ports and give every dollar of it back to them to run their government? This will be felt by none except the syndicates and trusts and rich interests that will do the prying, there and the shipping to Porto ico. “Indirectly, of course, some of this will be paid by the consumers, but it will fall Ughtly upon them, and the burden will be imperceptible, while a direct tax would be simply brutal and inhuman. The Dill also provides that this tax shall expire in two years, which is time enough to allow the government machinery of Porto Rico to get into working order. There is no propo- aition to put a permanent burden upon Porto Rico, but it is merely a temporary expedient for her own interest. “My friend, never was a bill so_mis- represented and misunderstood as our Porto Rican bill, and the time will come, in the near future, when those who propose a direct tax, which would result from abso- lute free trade, will suffer in every possible way for their misguided conduct, for their selfish acts. “What the Senate is going to do is prob- Jematical. It has its share of cowards. The Senate is always. the body. upan which the great interests concentrate their efforts to defeat proper legislation. But this fact remains, that I have the knowledge that I have done my simple duty, and have done it in consultation and in co-operation with the President of the United States, whose heart is quick to feel the affliction of this little istand; I have done it in conference with such men as Allison, Foraker and the earnest patriots of the Senate, who, defy- ing special interests. and combinations, are trying to map out a plan for the present needs of Porto Rico and to keep’our coun- try so that {t will be unfettered and fitted for the wise treatment needed for all of these new possessions.”” ++ Ceyte Bects Net Gritty.
