LATE LEGISLATION.
Some of the Measures That necame
Laws During Inst Days of
the Session.

WASHINGTON. March 4.-Several i'm
portant bills of general legislation pending
when the review of the legislation of the
Press week ago have become laws since
the summary was published. The most i'm
portant of these are the army reorganiza-
-tion bill, the navy personnet bill. the bill
providing code of laws Tor Alaska. the
omnibus claims bill and numerous impurt-
ant public building bills.
The prOjec. for the construction of n
canal across the iSthmus at Nicaragua made
progress to the extent that Il provision was
attached 10 the river and harbor appro-
priation providing for n very complete :n-
4uiIy into the matter.
The addition OF Il provision to the army
appropriation bill forbddinS the grant of
property franchises in Cuba was also an
important Legislative act.
Among the important projects which fail
ed TO receive favorable attention in the clos
ing days We're those providing for n Pacific
cable, for a government armor pant. Tor
an anti-Scalping law. for eight t-hour law
and for Il government for Hawaii.
The navy personnel bill completely reor-
EanZes the navy, and is the consummation
of years of earnest effort by the navy de-
partment. The original army bill was in
tended TO meet the same want for the
army Supplied 10 the navy by the person
mel bill. uut il failed and the present bill
is considered defective in that 1t is only a
temporary measure. II. however increases
the army To 10000 men and provides for
the retention Of this number until 1901. The
omnibus claims bill provides for the set
tleTent of several hundred claims. some
Of which are almost hundred years old
want in supplying a system of laws TO this
Northwest territory.

COLLINS DECISION MONDAY.
Attorney General GODDARD Defends the
Puttin. of John Collins on
the stand.

TOPEKA. March 4.-tSpecnl) Judge Ha-
zen has informed the attorneys interested
that he will give his decision on the mo-
ton for Il rcheaIng i'll the Collins case
Monday morning. There is speculation as
10 the opinion, although the belief that a
new trial will not be granted prevails
We confidently believed that several of
the Jurors We're guilty of misconduct -
said Attorney General GODDARD to-day
People without number told us Of h airing
jurors say before the trial concluded that {
they considered John Collins guilty. |
cannot understand why people are 50
auXIOus TO get into case as witnesses.
II believe there was some misconduct.
That, l think. was proved. There were
some splendid men on the jury. however.
who. am satisfied. would be guilty OF no
misconduct.
John Collins Is i.arins up we'll. He has
nerves of steel and is acting the man. lie
believes that he j. being prosecuted Tor
this murder that q web has skiiiful!y been
drawn about him aud he is naturally in
ccnsed AT those wgO are responsible for
his condition.
Many people, including some attorneys.
have told us that "" made a mistake IN
putting John on the stand John had from
the start told US Of his gambling deals
with the negroes and We believed II and
hoped the jury would. II We had rot had
HIM testify. everyone W"li'G have thought
him guilty and there would have ben an
awful roar from all over the state

Embarrassed u! COnxress'
SHORTCOMINGS.

WASHINGTON. March 4--The president
expresses himself as well pleased in gen.
eral with the outcome of the session OF con-
gress just closed. He takes a hopeful view
of conditions, believing that the failure of
congress TO meet the requirements in sew
eral instances will not operate to embarrass
tile government seriously. 1t was the pur-
pose of the president, had congress listened
favorably to his request for authority to
appoint four additional major generals, to
er. Wilson and Wood. 1t was a bitter dis
appointment to the war department that
the request of the president for authority
