TO VISIT
PORTO HICO
And Cuba Also, Said to be the
President’s Wish.
QUESTION OF PRECEDENT.
Can the Head of the Nation Go Be
yond the Confines of the
United States?
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 10.—A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
A report that the president intends to
visit Cuba and Porto Rico at the first fa
vorable opi>ortunity has (become 'known in
the state, -war and navy departments, and
»was quickly made the subject of serious
speculation among various officials on ac
count of the exceedingly interesting ques
tions it raised. Among other things there
was a spontaneous revival of the question
that the chief executive could not pass the
boundaries of the United States without
forfeiting his office. It is peculiar how
persistent is the notion even among the
higher officials that some constitutional or
statutory restrictions confines the execu
tive to American soil, when, as a matter
of fact, although none of the predecessors
of I’rti-ideht McKinley have ever left the
country during their terms of office, their
actions were alone affected by considera
t'ions of propriety or precedent which no
one could hold to apply in the present in
stance.
It was generally recognized that the
president might naturally wish to make a
personal tour of inspection 'in those is
lands as son ae he could spare tihe time
from pressing public business in Wash
ington and that no valid objection could
land against such a tour as he was under
stood to contemplate. It is painted out,
however, that it would be practically im
possible for 'him to spare the tiime requi
site for such an extended voyage >as that
<o Porto Rico before congress adjourns on
March 4th. which is, fortunately about the
'best time of year to make a short stay in
the trcpic-6. iDurintg the first six weeks of
the new year in addition to the continu
ous executive routine business the social
obligations involved in 'the program of
■public receptions and state dinners 'Would
restrict the president closely to Washing
ton. and after next iweek's Southern tour
be will hardly find it possible to leave the
•white house for more than two days at a
time before the beginning of lent in .the
middle of February. For the ensuing two
weeks, with the rush of legislation which
marks the Closing days of a short session
of congress, there will be no leisure for
■the executive and therefore his pennant
could habdly fly in the harbors of Porto
Rico before the middle of March.
With Havana only a single night’s run
for the Dispatch boat Dolphin from Tampa
there might be a chance for the president
to spend two whole days there in a week's
absence from Washington and remain al
ways in close telegraphic communication
with the executive departments so that if
a critical emcrgecy occurred he could be
in a railway train speeding toward the
capital within twelve hours. No thought
is entertained, 'however, of a presidential
trip to lHavana before the Spanish flag is
hauled down on January 1.
Practical unanimity of opinion prevails
among officials that the comtemplated visit
of the president to Havana has a full war
rant as his trip to Porto Rico so long as
the American Hag flies over Cuba, al
though a few quibblens may hold that
Porto Rico itself is not actually a part of
the United States territory until congress
has made a declaration to that effect,
either in so many words or by satisfying
the peace treaty of Paris. This fine point
is not seriously raised except to show that
Porto Rico and Cuba must be considered
identical in view of the fact that they are
governed practically alike, both military
officers under the immediate direction of
the president as commander-in-chief. The
belief is expressed that the president
would not care to set foot in Cuba if it
were held to be foreign territory, much as
he might wish to see the country, for that
might be a perilous proceeding 'to estab
lish. ‘Rut no one appears to controvert
the right as well as the advisability of an
executive visit to the new American pos
sessions. provided it does not involve long
and enforced absence from Washington.
Before the outbreak of the war with
Spain the expediency of a presidential visit
to Hawaii was thoroughly canvassed. It
was held by competent authorities that the
president would not be compelled to leave 1
the jurisdiction of the United States even
momentarily during such a tour as he
would be constructively on American .ter
ritory on a national vessel even when on
the high seas. In this case, however, the
long voyage would have required the pres-
Sdent to be without means of communica
ting with Washington for at least a week
at a time and even had there been a cable
at Honolulu he would have been out of
touch with the country for at least two
periods of five days each. The considera
tions prohibited further contemplation of
the visit. When the president visits Porto
Rico and Cuba he will undoubtedly be ac
companied by Mrs. McKinley and several
members of the cabinet iwith their wives,
and although the stay of the party in each
port visited will not be longer than a sin
gle day, an absence of t\'*o weeks from
Washington will be necessary. It is prob
able that Secretary Alger and several army
officers will go to San Juan, Santiago, Ha
vana and other points in the island be
fore the president visita these places.
YALE’S STRONG MEN.
Competition Among Those Who Have Been
in Training,
By Associated Press.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 10—Preparatory
to the work of taking the records in tbe
competition to determine the champion
strong man of Yale university, the direc
tors of the gymnasium have taken the
statistics of the fresh men class. The re
sults are very satisfactory and Drove the
value of the course of gymnastics that has
for two years been compulsory on the
freshmen. At the beginning of the college
year every man in the class who is not
in active training with one of the athletic
teams is given preliminary work and he
is put through a test without any coach
ing whatsover as that would vitiate the
data. The test consists of the “push up"
on the parallel bans and the “pull up” on
the horizontal bars. His weight there Is
multiplied by the number of times he has
raised himself a foot, thus giving the
strength in foot pounds, the present unit
of measurement.
Two hundred and sixteen men have
taken this test and Dr. Seaver is now en
gaged in completing the tests by the other
method adopted by the American college
association.

TXODUS FROM
THE KLONDIKE
A Thousand Men Along the
Yukon—Terrible Privations
—Fearful weather.
By Associated Press.
Tacoma, Wy., Dec. 10—The steamer Ro
salie brings news that an exodus of men
is taking place from Dawson City. John
Halverson says:
“There are nearly 1,000 men strung
along the Yukon between Dawson and
Chitkoot pass. All are making an effort
to reach the coast. I had a good dog
team, plenty of grub and also a well filled
sack. Consequently I came along boom
ing, passing many who had started from
Dawson ten days ahead of me. Many left
Dawson short of provisions and with little
or no money.
“It seems to me certain that manv of
these unfortunates will die on the trail.
Some will make Skaguay all right. This
winter is proving the most severe experi
enced in Yukon for years. Several severe
snow storms have raged in the interior
already.”
MANTLE OF SECRECY
To be Thrown Around our Naval Affairs—
Hobson’s Long Trip.
MANTLE OFSECRECY cwill.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 10.—A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Action has
been taken by Secretary Long to withhold
information concerning American, naval
affairs from foreign governments. A reg
ulation has been issued announcing that
“formal and official information for at
taches and other foreign officials in Wash
ington or abroad will be furnished through
the bureau of navigation by the office of
naval intelligence.
This regulation is due largely to. the
refusal of foreign governments to give to
American officers information which they
seek, itherto the authorities have been
very open with foreign attaches, but in the
future it is likely the secrecy which exists
abroad will also be in effect in this coun
try.
Naval Constructor Hobson has been at
the department in connection with his or
ders to proceed to Hong Kong to super
vise the reconstruction of the cruisers 'Don
Juan de Austria, Isla de Cuba and Isla de
Luzon. 'He desired a short leave, but the
department was compelled to refuse the
request because of the necessity of get
ting him to Hong Kong as son as possible.
Mr. Hobson will sail on the steamer leav
ing San Francisco on December 24.
Commander Snow 'has submitted a re
ported to the navy department showing
that the sanitary conditions at San Juan
Porto Rico are very bad. In compliance
with the request of Civil Engineer Meno
cal appliances have been sent to him for
use in the renovation of the station.

SU6AR_BEETS
Experiments Made by New
York Farmers Successful.
CONSIDERABLE WIT,
Ten Tons of Beets Make One Ton
of Sugar—Cost of Culti
vation.
By Associated Press.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 10—At the close of
the sugar beet season, the second year of
experiments in New York state the Coun
try Gentleman, an agricultural journal,
has completed the gathering of some sta
tistics. It says: “Official reports from the
experimental plants of the New York de
partment of agriculture show the season
to have been an unfavorable one generally,
and that an unknown beetle destroyed
many of the plants so that re-seeding in
many cases was absolutely necessary.
Good yields, however, are reported and
the experiments may be said to be a suc
cess so far as proving the adaptability of
New York soil for sugar beet growing the
real object of the experiments.
“The factory at Binghamton, now
opening its first season, pays $5 per ton
for each ton of beets delivered to it. It,
also furnishes the seed to growers at about
cost. About 1,100 farmers are under con
tract to furnish beets this year and 12,000
tons have been delivered. It is thought
that between 15,000 and 17,000 tons will be
converted into sugar before the close of
tlie season, making the output of the fac
tory 1,500 to 1,700 tons of sugar. The fac
tory runs day and night, employs 100 men
in two shifts of fifty and is now producing
fifteen tons of sugar daily.
“The experiments at both the Rome and
Binghamton factories show that it takes
ten tons of beets to make one ton of
sugar. Os New York state beets it is
found that the percentage of sacharine
matter in the beets is equal if not far
ahead of these, raised in California and
other Western states.
“It is believed that the farmer makes a
profit of about $5 ner ton. One farmer
sowed twenty acres of beets and Lad a
yield of fourteen tons per acre. Up to the
time of harvesting the expense per acre
was $11.17, not including th cost of seed
or fertilizer.”
