The GOVERNMENT OF PUERTO RICO
Report on the Roberts Case About
January IS.
NEW YEAR REC EP TION

In anticipation of the passage by Con-
gress of the bill authorizing the appoint
ment of a commission to revise the pension
laws. a fight has already begun at the
White House for the three good places
which will be opened. The bill has passed
the Senate, and there is said to be little
doubt of favorable action by the House.
Calvin Farnsworth, commander Of the
Department of the Potomac, has opened
the fight in behalf of C. P. Lincoln, local
G. A. r. man. Mr.. Farnsworth presented
Mr.. Lincoln's name to the President today,
and with his presentation handed in strong
congressional support for his candidate
Representative Alexander of Buffalo being
among those to indorse Mr.. Lincoln. The
bill provides that at least member of
the commission shall be G. A. R. member
Mr.. Lincoln is member of the organiza-
ton and an attorney. He was deputy COM
missioner of pensions during the Harrison
administration and is said to have many
friends in the Grand Army.
Government for Puerto Rico.
Representative Lacey of Iowa saw the
President for a few minutes. Mr.. Lacey
was in Puerto Rico last winter, and studied
conditions there. Referring to prospective
legislation for the island, he said: The
people Of Puerto Rico are credit to this
country. We should treat them as they
have treated u.s. and give them satisfactory
laws. They have certainly shown their love
for the United States. While l have not
decided exactly what laws the island should
have. think that form of territorial gov
ernment should be given the people l do
not believe they are fully qualified yet for
a legislature both branches of which should
be elected by the people. 1t is likely that
they should have a legislative body, one
branch of which shall be elected and the
other appointed Later they would be
qualified to elect both branches"

New Year Day Reception.
President Mckinley will not have any
thing like a holiday on New Year day.
The work he will do that day in connection
with the public reception will be hard
as he cares to undergo. On the feet for
two hours, shaking hands with thousands
of people. is the most fatiguing work possi-
BILE and generally leaves a President ex-
hausted. Monday will also, according to
weather predictions, be a cold day. The
unceasing opening of doors for the incom-
ing and outgoing people will make the
White House none too comfortable for the
President and those with him. I,
