Citizens Want tbe Beneflls of American Laws Appeal lo Attorney General Griggs for Opinion. Washington, June 22. Tho question whether Porto Rico did not beoomo an integral part of tho United States and its oitizena en titled to tho protection of its con stitution and laws immediately upon the exchange of tho ratifica tion of tho treaty of poaco bo tweon tho United (States and Spain was submitted to Attorney Gon oral Griggs today. Tho problem was presented in a written com munication by Luis Munoz Ri vera, former Secretary of State in the Porto Rioan Cabinet, who has been in Washington for some timo. While charged by his po litical enemies with being oppos ed to tho Atnaticau rogime Sanor Rivera denies this, and has assur ed the authorities here that the Porto Rican people are absolutely loyal to tho United States. Speaking today, Seuor Rivera said tho question on which tho futuro of Porto Rico depended was tho fros entranco of produots into tho United States. Ho con tiuued: "It is life or death lo us. The richness of our island is but a mockery when wo caunnt dispose of our products. Wo havo boen told to wait for Congrojs to act, but the time has como when we must prepare for tho next crop, and wo fear that with tho press of business your new Ooogross is suro to labor undor Porto Rico may havo to wait uutil it will be too late to roliovo the eoonomio situation. "I am convinced that rolief could be afforded us without wait inc for Congressional legislation Tbe very moment the ratifications of tbe treaty of peaoe between toe United otatos and Spain woro ex changed Porto Rico beoamo an in tecral part of the Uuited States. From that moniont no duties could lawfully be loviod on goods ex changed between Porto Rico and the rest of the Union. I am sup. ported in tbia viow not only by the action of the administrative officers of the Unitod State) wheu California was oedod by Mexico, but by decision of the Unttod States Supreme Court sustaining tliMin." Senor Rivera quoted at length from tho decision referred to, which concerned tho status of California after tho poaco treaty with Mnxico, and said in odnclu sion: "By the ratification of tho treaty California becamo a pait of too Unitod States. And as there is nothing different stipulated in the treaty with respect to commerce it becamo instantly bound and privi leged by the laws which Oongross had passed to raise tho revunuo from duties on imports and ton nage." Honor Rivoraconoludod: "I have submitted a stateraont of my posi tion to tho Attorney General, and I am certain that it will receive careful consideration from the ad ministration. Wo can be saved by the stroko of the President's pen. What wo ask for is logical and just. Tho eyes of all Porto RioanB are fixed expectantly on Washing ton for a decision, whioh my mean prospority or ruin." No Calilu.t Meeting Today. Thero was uo mooting of tho Cabinet this forenoon on account of tho illness of President Dolo. The meeting for tho consideration of the charter of the now bank will be held tomorrow morning.

Tho farce of "The Contractors" was below tho standard, but tho romainder of tho program was very good.

Miss Haoward is certainly an artist.

Towed Into Sydney Harbor by tbe Steam; r Tatune Second Officer's Story. Tho Perthshire which was mis sing for ovor two months is nt last safely lying in Sydnoy harbor. Tho S. S. Aorangi brought the story this morning of tho long de layed vessel. . The Perthshire was towed into Sydney harbor by tho steamer Taluno tho day beforo tho Aoran gi left that port. Socond ollicor Page's story in brief is as follows: "Wo left Sydnoy on tho 2Cth of April with 1200 tons of frozou moat and CODO tons of produco, bound for the Bluff, Now Zealand. Wo experienced stroiiK S. E. gales trom tho day wo started until the 28th April, then tho weather moderated. At G p. m. on thut dajo tho tail-end shaft broke. The ship was then about 391 miles S. E. of S)dnoy, latitude 33 degrees 37 minutes J3,, and longitude 150 degrees 33 minutes E. All sail wsb at once bent, and it was set that night with tho hopo of sail ing or drifting towards Sydney. iue jail, however, proved useless. Thore remained nothing for us to do but to drift in tho hopo that shortly somo vessel wouid eight as and tako us in tow. Ou April 30 the engineers came to the conclusion that the break was too far aft to allow them to connect with tho coupling. Thoro com mouoed on our part a series of driftings. Wo rigged heavy drags over the stern with as much as 180 fathoms of line, but all to no purpose. Wo could not alter her course at all. On May 13 we sighted the timber-laden schooner Wnaogaroa from Now Zeuland. The skipper came board, to toll any steamers he mot. On May 22 thero oommoncod a series of galea lasting a week. Tho ship tas in splendid trim and behaved very well. On the 25th May in tho height of the gain we spoko to tho barquo Northern Chief. By Sun dBy 28 May we had traveled iu all 930 miles in a straight lino. Tbe course bad boen zigzag and sometimes altogether baokwatds, but tbo lattor was .not frequent. During all this time rockets and other distress signals woro sout up whenever wo camo to within 30 miles of a steamers track, but it was all of no use. Wo wore uow out of tho renular track of all steamers between New Zealand and Australia, and wero drifting iu a direction wmen would tako ns into tho unpleasant vioinity of tho South Sea islands and thoir dangerous coral reefs As a last resource it was de cided to break away tho stem tnbe and endeavor to couplo tho broken shaft, On tho 11th of June, iiftor 14 days of hard work, which had lasted right through tho 21 hours tho flint fow turns of the propeller wero token. Tho temporary struc ture worked all right, and wo got stoorage way on tho boat, aud it was not a moment too soon. At that timo wo were within 4G miles of tho rook-bound coast of Nor folk Island, aud wo wero driving straight towards it at two or three knots per hour. That day went slowly ahoad with the ongines all day, stopping thorn two or three times to adjust tho couplings. At 3 a. m. on tho 13th Juno wn sightod tho Btoaraor Taluno. Shu stood by ns till daylight, when u hawser was passed aboard and wo prooeoded along towards Svduoy, whoro we arrived on Mouday morning Juno 19."

Work of Messrs Koelllng and Tuch Splendid Resells Will Leed to Permanant Estab lishment ct Factory. Tho stoamer J. A. Oumrains, duo from tho other side of the island this evening or tomorrow morning, will bring 200 gallons of uaBtor oil, tho first that has ever been put forth in the Inlands ready for immediate placing on the market. Tho shipmont comes from the cantor oil plantation of Messrs Koelliog and Tuch who broke ground just a year ago for the cultivation of the castor bean at a place to the left and noir the foot of the Pali. ' " For muny years the castor-bean hns beeu seen to thrive along country roads, producing good sized buuchi'B of beans without the slightoftt cultivation. Mnuy havo noticed thU but Inw not givouthopniihilili'.)3of Uio cultiva tiou of this most useful plcut much thought. Not so with Mr. Eoelling who, having made some rxperim.-ntB, decided to launch forth into castor beau planting on a large scale. Ho routed nomo tbreo hnndrol acres at the placo mentioned above, msdo Mr. Tuch, his nephew, his parlnor nod, clearing fifty acres, planted his crulor beans obtaiued from impottod plant at various places on these Ielandi, Success seemed assured from the very beginning. The plantB shot up and toon grew to be large aud nardy. llio juevelopinout of tho bunches "of beuus'w'iiS a source of groat satisfaction. All woro largo but many attained a length of a foot and a half. When Messis Koelliug nnd Tuch saw th'it their experiment was to bo a success they ordored machinery from Germany. This has already arrived ami will be placed iu position iu buildings to bo put up on the plantation very soon. Mr. Tuoh fatouds to reut land noar his unole's placo for tho pur poBn of raising castor beans. Mr. Koolling is now busy with tho work of preparing more laud for planting and gettiug everything into shapo for a pormanentcastor oil factory. Tho year that has beon spent in experimental work has prnveii what was believed by Mr. iioelliug namely, that the manufacture ot otstor oil in tbo islauds'csu bo made a prdfitablj indu-Mry. From a standard authority, the following in regard to tho castor plant is obtained: "The castor oil plant (Iticiuiu cnrntuums) is a na tive nf the south of Asia and of northern Aftica, naturalized in tho south of Europo and iu other warm regions.
