| Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Jan. 20.-The house transact
ed considerable business this morning
and the judiciary committee gave fur
ther evidence of industry by reporting
upon three bills, two of which will be
printed and will probably be considered
by the house next week. There was a
slight break in the monotony of routine
work that has characterized the house
proceedings for week. The question
of the employment of two additional
committee clerks was the rock upon
which the house split. By vote Of 81
to % it was decided that no more clerks
are necessary at present. There were
several absentees in the house to-day,
the prevalent grip epidemic being re-
sponsible for most of them.
Chairman Crutchfield of the Judiciary
committee reported that the committee
had examined Watson's bill, exempting
from taxation any pulp and paper mill
erected in Montana, and that the bill
had been found to be unconstitutional.
The same committee reported upon
Hedges bill changing the legal rate of
interest amending the title and recon-
mendng that the bill, as amended, be
printed. SIS
Fitzpatrck's bill providing for the

Washington, Jan. 2O.-One of the last
articles of the treaty of Paris lrovided
that the United States. government
should carry back to Spain the Spanish
prisoners of war in the Philippines and
undertake this task without waiting the
ratification of the treaty. The war de-

proposals for shipping companies for
the carriage of the Spaniards, as was
done with great success in the case
of the Santiago prisoners. The terms
and conditions are set out by the de-
partment in advertisements as fol-

$1,000 officers and enlisted men. Cabin
accommodations are to be supplied for

ventilation, for the enlisted men. The
United States government will deliver
the prisoners on board the vessels at

LACKS UNIFORMITY.
General Carpenter Was Obliged to Hew
His Own Way,

Havana, Jan. 20.--The criticism that the
military administration in the several
provinces lacks uniformity and that each
governor acts Independently Of the CEN
trail authority, is said here to be caused
largely by the position of affairs in the
province of Puerto Principe. 1t is claim
ed that when General Carpenter entered
that province in November he began, gov
erning without reference to the aevacua-
ton agreement and the continuance, of
Spanish sovereignty to Jan. l.. 1t is as
serted that he made a clean sweep of the
provincial officials. RENTED some taxes
and collected others, and he is understood
to have used the revenues of December
for the purposes of the local administra-
ton. 1t is said that he acted briskly and
decisively, being compelled. no doubt, to
take the initiative because in the interior
there is no telegraph system and the mails
are two weeks apart. sS Is 4
1t now takes two days to get messages
from Havana to General Carpenter by ca
BILE to Santa Cruz del Sur, and thence
overland on horseback go mixes.
Major General Brooke has gently called
General Carpenters attention to the fact
that taxes cannot be RENTED in the prov
fnce of Puerto Principe unless the same
thing is done in all of the provinces, and
that he is not entitled to use the revenues
of the province unless on acquisitions
which have been approved at Havana, and
that changes in officials must be made for
cause and after incompetence has been
shown.
