A Cavalry CHARGE

In cavalry charge, especially when
the firing is at long range, it is prac-
tically impossible for the enemy to
aim at so small a figure as a human
being with any certain chance of hit
ting him. And so, the horse present
ing the larger target, the list of casual
ties among horses, under the circum-
stances, is naturally greater than
among men. At Talavera 29O horses
were killed and 24O men, while at the
famous charge of the Light brigade
at Balaklava the losses among horses
were S60 and among men 28O.

WORK OF the PORTO
RICO LEGISLATURE
Important Measures Give
nlace to Minor Matters.
~ LACK EXPERIENCE

Bills Providing For Woman Suffrage
introduced ln the lower House-An-
other to Legalize Cockfghting-How
the Measures Are Presented.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rieo, Dec. 26.-The
legislative assembly of Porto Rico has
been in session since Dec. 8, when the
house of delegates was duly organized.
The house has been holding daily +
hour sessions. Over 40 bills have been
intro52ced and no end of motions and
ameHIGnents But one bill has been
passed. By law the assembly is allowed
go days in which to complete their SEES
sions Fifteen days have passed and
next to nothing has been accomplished,
and the local papers are suggesting that
it is about time something had been
done. The house is badly in need of a
competent force of translators and clerks.
There seems to be no system.
Bills are prepared and introduced COW
ering most common matters, and IN a
manner most unbusinessllke. Few OF
the bills are III proper form, many have
been filed written in pencil on sheet
torn from a scratch pad. Most of the
bills are written during the session and
are more in the form of suggestions
than of projected laws. An inspiration
may come TO a member, he picks up a
pad or draws an envelope or q scrap OF
paper from his pocket, jots down few
sentences and presents the document
as bill, and it is duly filed. Instead OF
getting down to the crying need OF
Porto Rico-a revision of the laws; bills
to enact such laws as these are drawn
up and introduced:
"ro establish woman suffrage and to
give women preference over men in
public positions for which they are COM
petent;" "Relating to salaries of school
teachers;" "Relating to contracts made
in provincial currency" Covering the
profession of pharmacy. y
A resolution was presented to illegal
ize the sport of cock fighting" by the
same member who is the author of the
woman suffrage bill.
At yesterdays session the committee
on rules reported that bills relating to
the following matters should have pref
erence over all other business:
Insular police, salaries, police courts,
loans, telegraphs and railroads.
On motion mortgages was added to
the list and the report was adopted.
The council passed bill introducing
the jury system, but it was defeated in
the house by vote of 10 to II. Several
members claimed that the bill was not
properly translated from the English
original. The bill was ordered to be
translated and will be reconsidered.
The exectivw council is daily holding
''secret executive sessions behind closed
doors. These are for the purpose of
considering franchises and other mat
tiers over which the council has exclu-
sive jurisdiction. The public is not in
formed of the nature of these sessions.
At present 1t does not seem probable
that the lower house will be a success
as a lawmaking body.

oR0ERlN AMERICAN SECTION
Conditions In Picking as Seen BY
Newspaper Man.

LONDON, Dec. 26-In the course of q
review published i'll The Morning Post
today of the conditions existing at Pc
king, H. j. Whigham, the well known
newspaper correspondent, says there are
now $50, 900 inhabitants pursuing their
ordinary avocations in the American
| quarter He adds that the American
and Japanese quarters are in all re-
spects the best managed, showing
ability on the part of the Americans to
| handle a subject people which have not
! developed elsewhere to proper advant-
age" Continuing Mr.. Whigham says:
This enormous portion of the. city is
policed by exactly one company of in
| fantry and few mounted men under a
provost marshal. II only these hard
| hearted soldiers of the provost marshal
| type had had free hand in the Philip
pines the task of subjugating the un-
| fortunate islanders would have been
much more simple. If the Japanese
have come out of the muddle with flying
colors they at least have the Americans
! close behind. 1t was worth sending an
expedition to China if only to get a few
hints on transport from the Americans.
Their scheme of municipal government
could not be bettered by the British, who
have learned the business by experience
in every quarter of the globe.
"For the point of contrast it is only
necessary to walk down the avenues of
the Chinese city dividing the United
| States and Germany. The American
side of the street is simply Peking, in
the ordinary garb of peace, minus its
variegated smells. The opposite side is
almost deserted. The Germans have
come to the American side for meat and
vegetables and it is whispered that the
country people are sometimes robbed as
they are bringing in the produce, ex-
cept where the gates are British, Amer
lean or japanese. 1t is why the markets
in the quarters controlled by these ma
! tions are the best"

BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT
Anti-Quay Faction Will Again Try to
Deadlock the Legislature.

HARRISBURG, Dec. 26.-New Years
day is to mark the opening of the fight
between the Quay and anti-Quay fac
tions over the vacant Pennsylvania SEN
atorship. While the Philadelphia news
papers, with one exception, are crying
out that Senator Quay is sure to be
beaten, the best advices indicate the
contrary.
The legislature is to convene on the
first day of the new year and there Is to
be a repetition of the convention Of
1895, when the state capital was crowded
with bands and clubs and shouters Of
both factions, who sought to influence
the act of the legislators.
While the Quay people are claiming
with confidence that they are going to
win out, the anti Quay people are just
as certain that they are going to dead
lock the legislature as they did before
and thus prevent an election. The anti
Quay Republicans seem to have COM
plete understanding with the Democrats
to the extent at least that the Democrats
will not vote for Quay. This does not
90 so far, however, as to insure Demo
cratic votes for Wanamaler or whoever
| NAV be the reform" candidate for the
office, but the Democratic plan seems to
be to vote for a Democrat and if posi-
BILE force the ''reform" Republicans to
come TO their assistance.
