Claude , the IC-ycnr-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. I. V. Howard of 1101 Fourth avenue ,
who left home last July In company with
George Dallcy , a lad about the scamc age ,
with the purpose of making their way to the
Philippines , to Join the Flfty-flrst Iowa , re
turned yesterday morning , His three months'
absence from home wns brimful of adven
tures , but the young lad , while he failed to
roach Manila , got an far r.s Honolulu and
Is none the worse for his trip.
Claude , who at the time ho left home ,
was bugler In the High school cadets , and
young Dalley , who has two brothers In
Company L of the Fifty-first Iowa , boarded
the first section of the train that passed
through bore July 20 containing the Nine
teenth United States Infantry. On reaching
Wadaworth , Cal. , Howard was put off the
train , but young Dalley managed to stay
aboard. This wns the last Howard raw of
his companion. Howard succeeded In get
ting on the second section and accompanied
the regiment Into San Francisco. He se
cured a uniform nnd smuggled himself on
board the transport Ohio. When the vessel
reached Honolulu ho wns put ashore and In
order to prevent him going aboard before
the vessel called again he was placed In
Jail , by orders of Vice Consul Wilson
Porter Boyd ,
For some renson or anothjr Boyd forgot
the boy wno In Jail and lie would have ofl-
slbly been still there I * some members of
the Salvation Army had not Interested
themselves in his behalf and secured hll
release. He was In prison for forty days
and he says they half starved him and that
when released ho was n mere skeleton. Con-
sill Iloyd , ho says , apologized for keeping
him there so long and eald he had cntlrelj
forgotten about him.
He finally worked his way to Tocoma on
a freight steamer , receiving $25 a month
wages. With this money and some he earned
In Seattle young Howard managed to pay
his way home , reaching here yesterday
morning , much to the Joy of his mother.
Howard says the captafn nnd pallors on the
freight steamer treated , him with the great
est kindness. .When he arrived home he
was still wearing his cadet uniform and had
hh bugle with him.
Young Dalley Is believed to have reached
Manila and Is now thought to be In San
Francisco , having , It Is supposed , returned
with the Fifty-first on the Senator.

ew months ago , assigned to Schmidt for a
consideration , as ho claims , ot $6,550 , the

to annul the gifts made to the Woman's
Christian .association hospital by Mrs , Ballard -
lard on the grounds of her alleged Infirmity

Senator William B. Allison addressed a large
gathering here this evening. He said the
present state ticket should be ro-elccted on
account ot efficient administration and wip
ing out of the state debt. The money ques
tion was the paramount Issue nnd the
republican party would enact such legisla
tion that n secretary of the treasury could
not place the country on a silver basis sim
ply by his own flat. Touching the trust ques
tion , the senntor said there wns no Issue ,
but that much ado was being made about or
ganizations In restraint of trade stifling com
petition and controlling commodities. It Is
not a party Issue. What party Is In favor
of letting one or a dozen men control thn
products of the country ? It Is nn old ques
tion. Mnny attempts have bc-cn made to
bring about Its solution. Whoever is able to
formulate a statute to minimize the trust evil
would find ready response by both parties.
Ho gave an exhaustive history of the affairs
leading up to the present Philippine situa
tion , nnd sold that this question was also not
a party matter but should be settled from
the standpoint of patriotism.

NEW YORK , Oct. 26. A special to the
World ( rom Washington says : The natives
of Porto Ulco arc not now nnd never will be
capable of self-government.
This Is practically the burden of n report
just submitted to the secretary of war by
General Joe W. Davis , military governor of
Porto Rico. Upon this Information the
president wilt base the recommendations
relative to Porto Rico contained In hla
forthcomlnp ; message.
The report of General Davin is In sub-
stancQ 'that It will take years.to. educate
the Porto Rlcans. They nre Inert and the
progressive American spirit will have to bo
instilled Into them slowly , ns they do not
grasp Meas with encouraging rapidity.
From observations so far made , General
Davis thinks It is advisable that a governor
general bo appointed , vested with certain
powers , ono who posscses tact and executive
ability. To aid him there should be a body
of Amerlcnns to act In the capacity of the
cabinet to superintend the affairs of the
various branches of the island's govern
ment.
To test the abilities of ( he natives it Is
recommended that they be eligible for elec
tion to a legislative body , the election to
be conducted by the native Porto Rlcans ,
The actions of this legislative body , how
ever , are to be passed upon by nn authorita
tive council , which will take the form of a
supreme court to consist of Americans ot
judicial knowledge. This body will decide
upon the wisdom of the nets of the Porto
Rlcans as a legislative assembly.
