PARIS, April 6.—New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—April Fool's day was marked in Paris by several practical jokes 50 tall as to land their perpetrators in jall. For example, three students, taking advantage of a professor's well known fear of death, issued black-bordered, engraved invitations to his funeral. In the early morning, before the professor arose, the house front was draped. At 9 o'clock a hearse drove to the door. Soon after, the man_belng a celebrity, more than 1,000 people had gathered, blocking the street for two hours. Persons apt to ascertain the truth beforehand had been carefully omitted from the invitation list. Another joke was a newspaper announce- ment of Liane Pougy's marriage to a prom- inent banker, whose life has been made miserable by demands for explanations and sarcastic congratulations ever since. A third case before the courts was that of a man who was notified falsely of an inheritance on account of the death of a distant relative in London. He traveled there post-haste, clad in deep mourning, only to find the possessor of the fortune heartily enjoying life.

PRESIDENT PERSUADES HIM TO STAY His Intended Resignatien of Offics Will Not Be Tendered. DENIES THAT TAX LAW WORKS HARM Explains How the $2,000,000 Revenues Will Be Raised. REPORTS OF DISTURBANCES EXAGGERATED y Some Salvon Brawis and Harmless Demonstra tions, but Nothing of More Serious Character, ASHINGTON, April 6.—Charles 11 Allen, governor of Porto Rico, who arrived in Washington this morning, bad an hour's conference with President McKinley today Great interest was manifested in Governor Allen's visit on account of the rumors that have been rife over since he sailed from San Juan that it was his intention to re- linquish his post in the island After the conference, however, Governor Allen announced that he would not resign and would return to his duties about the first week In May, after settling up some private affairs in Boston. It is pretty well understood that Governor Allen came ‘o Washington in the hope that the president would relleve him of his duties in Porto Rico and that he asked the president to do 0, but the president prevailed upon him to continue at the head of the administra- tion of the affairs of the island. Governor Allen enjoys the confidence of the pres- ident to a very high degree and he felt that it was his duty to accede to the wishes of the chief executive. Speaking about the affairs of the island, Governor Allen sald that the situation had improved very materially in every way since he became governor over a year 4go. “The clvil government established in Porto Rico,” Governor Allen said, “Is work- ing smoothly. The various departments have been organized and our administration is seemingly giving general satisfaction. In & material way there has been much progress. Much of the island which was not under cultivation under the old regime is being taken up and made profitable. Great Fruit Prospects. “There {8 a great fleld in the island for products that can be shipped to the United States, especially oranges and other fruits, The advantages possessed by the Porto Rican frult growers, on account of the dis- crimination in their favor as far as tarlft duties are concerned, which will be In- creased when all duties are removed July 1, cannot but result in mAaking it a great fruit growing country. Recently persons who are interested in the growing of lilies and other flowers, as well as onlons and potatoes in Bermuda, have been looking over the island with a view to transferring to Porto Rico the agricultural industries that have made Bermuda famous. A faint 1dea of what this would mean to the island can be gathered from the fact that last year this country imported from Bermuda 400,000 bushels of onions alone. “In the old established {industries fin Porto Rico there has been a great improve- ment in all except coffee growing and pro- duction. Unfortunately, this is languish- ing at the present time. The production of sugar has been increased from 40,000 tons last year to probably 100,000 tons (esti- mated) for this year. The sugar industry 18 beginning to flourish owlug to the tarift discrimination in its favor. Upon the crop estimated for this year the Porto Ricaus will save $3.500,000 in tariff duties. The orange industry is belng increased by the investments of Americans. The fruit is de- liclous and there is plenty of land to be had for the cultivation of oranges. “I beliove Senator Foraker builded more wisely than he knew in the organic law governing the island and I fecl, after a somewhat intimate acquaintance with the situation, that that law itsclf, interpreted in the spirit in which it was made, will be found to work quite satisfactorily in Porto Rico for some time to come. Tax Law Not so Bad. When asked about the alleged unpopu- larity of the Hollander tax law, Governor Allen explained that there was naturally much misunderstanding about the inaugu- ration of the purely American system of taxation, based upon property valuations, to take the place of the old Spanish sys- tem that had been In vogue for over 300 years. He sald that the total valuation of the property in Porto Rico would be close to $100,000,000, and under the law but one- half of 1 per cent could be levied for munic- ipal purposes and the same for insular pur- poses. This would raise about $1,000,000. The other $1,000,000 necessary to make up the total budset would be raised by excise taxes on rum. clgars, cigarettes, ete. Gov- ernor Allen explained that the complaint made against the feature of the Hollander law which only allows six months for the redemption of property sold for taxes was one that could be remedied by the next| legislature, which meets in December, if the | time was found to be too short. Governor | Allen said that tho taxation under the | Hollander law was lower than in any of the states of this country. Ixianders Behaving W “The administration of the island,” con- tinued the governor, “has in all respects desired the co-operation of all good citi- zens. 1t is required of those wio uspire to insular office that they should be loyal to the American government and that fitness for office with such loyalty should be the fundamental endorsement, rather than that of some political leader. Some disturbances have occurred, but never with such serious results as has often occurred in the United States. Bar room brawls, hooting and howl ing crowds on tha streets, a few stoncs thrown, some rattling sticks along the palinge, have been sufficient to occasion sensational cables to the north, whioh, | promptly denled, have been cir- culated to the discredit of the islund “I understand that several thousand peo- ple have becn employed by agents to leave Porto Rico for Hawall, prineipally, some few for Cuba and a few are now being en- geged to work in Ecuador. But compared with 1,000,000 people, the percentage emi- grating is so small as not to be worth con- | sidering. It these people can benefit their positions by emigrating they should be per- | mitted to emigrate, care being taken, of course, to see that they are pot led by misrepresentation or against their will." Later in the day Governor Allen called at the Navy department and received a warm greeting from Secretary Long, his old chief and friend. He also called upon Becretary Hay and spent balf an bour, EDWARD A MASTERFUL MAN King Holds the Pu Strings Hopes Thus to Lead Hin Queenly Wife, (Copyright, 1001, by Press Publishing Co.)

How Hooley Got Estate, Extraordinary revelations have just been made as to bow Ernest Terah Hooley be- came the purchaser of the Trafford estate in Manchester in 1879, For some time pre- vious strictly confidential negotiations had been proceeding between the Trafford trustees and the Manchester corporation for the purchase of the estate by the corpora- tion. The negotiations had reached a criti- cal polut, when the corporatiow’s lawyer came to London to see the trustees. He stayed at the Midland hotel, where Hooley lived, The lawyer's name, Ellfs, belng the same as that of Hooley's secretary, papers re- lating to the transaction intended for Law- ver Ellls were delivered by error to Hooley's secretary. These papers showed that the estate was offered to the corpora- tion for $1,750,000, but the corporation haggling over $30,000. Hooley instantly Wrote to the trustees, offering the full amount and enclosing a eheck for $150,000 to seal the bargain. The trustees gave the corporation a refusal of more time, saying they had a private offer for the amount asked. The corporation regarded the stae ment as a bluff and refused to advance its offer. Hooley became the purchaser. He never had heard of the Trafford estate until the papers fell into his éecretary’s hands. The corporation now wants to buy the estate, and won't get it under $2,600,000.
