WORK OF THE LAST CONGRESS
Enrolling Clerk Pratt Gives Figures
on Bills and VetOes

Washington, March 23.-Mr. S. B. Plat,
enrolling clerk of the senate has prepared
a statement giving in figures the results
of the work of the last congress. The
statement shows that 1,457 bills and joint
resolutions became laws out of a total Of
S,463 introduced in both houses. OF the
measures introduced 12.6OS were presented
in the house and 5,S55 in the senate. OF
those which became laws 942 originated in
the house and 515 in the senate. There
were only two direct vetoes during the
congress-, one of these applying TO a SEN
ate bill and the other to a house measure.
There were in addition to these four
pocket vetoes-biIls which failed to become
laws because they were not approved by
the president. The record shows that the
senate passed lib of it's own bills and
that the house acted favorably upon only
81, or fewer than half of them, while of
the 1,01 house bills passed by the house
the senate acted favorably upon 946. A
arger number of bills were introduced than
In any previous congress.

board of pardons, of such paroles by the

was legally passed over the veto. Trea-
sUrer ThompsOn's refusal to register nor
ma! school warrants does not arise from
this doubt, however. He bases his action
on the ground that a law authorizing a
tax levy does not necessarily operate as a
direct appropriation also, consequently he
IS prohibited from honoring warrants is
sued against any such fund. The two
provisions of the alleged law which the
treasurer claims act as a prohibition are
as follows:
Section 1. That It shall lbe unlawful for
any territorial officer or deputy or en-
ploye of said officer to issue, cause to be
issued or consent to the issuing, or TO pay,
cause to be paid or consent to the pay
ment Of any territorial warrant, order. or
other evidence Of public debt in excess of
the appropriation duly made or when no
appropriation has been made by the ,egis-
laJve assembly for the fund upon which
the same may be drawn.
Sec Any person who shall violate any
Of the provisions Of this act shall be
deemed guilty Of the unlawful Issuing of
warrants or the unlawful purchase OF war
rants, as the case may be- and shall be
punished by a fine Of not exceeding s.. 900. q"
Section 4 repeats all acts and parts Of
acts in conflict with the bill.
The only measure which in the judy
ment Of the territorial treasurer hints at
an appropriation for the SUI Sort Of the
territorial educational institution is the
following proviso that was tackled onto the

BACK 10 THE TROPICS
Prof. Koch viii Return to
Study Tropic Fevers.
MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA
Figure Strangely in the Great
Psychologists Theory.
MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA

Berlin, March 23.-Prof. Robert Koch, the
the head of the German cholera commits
sion, visited Egypt and India and then
discovered the so-called comma" cholera
bacillus, will start with an expedition next
month for the tropics, to continue his in
vestigation as to the nature and origin of
malaria. The reichstag has made grant
Of $1,000 marks in aid of the undertaking.
The expedition referred to In the fore
going dispatch is in line with the efforts
Of Professor Koch TO mitigate tropical
fevers. When he returned last year from
a similar expedition to the German East
African coast he advanced the theory that
in the case of human beings, mosquitoes
played the part in communicating malaria
which ticks play in the cattle oisea Sc
known as Texas fever" He had reached
the conclusion thata where there are mos
quitoes there is always malaria, and
where there are no mosquitoes there is no
malaria. Moreover, he reported it was
possible by microscopic examination OF the
blood Of a patient to discover FROM the
nature of the microbes the exact stage
which the disease had reached. This dis
covery he notwithstanding to his re-
port at the time-as of the highest impor-
lance in its bearings upon the administra-
ton of quinine shortly before the attack or
shortly after His theory, as then ex-
pounded, is that the quinine, taken at the
right moment. stops malarial fever, rot by
the killing of the germs, uuJ by arrest
ing their growth; and his conclusion was
that proper employment Of qunine, with
the establishment Of mountain health re-
sorts, would rob tropical fevers of mann
Of their terrors.
