CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

Within two hours after a special
message from the President, recon-
mending the immediate passage of a
bill to place In his hands all the moneys
collected upon Puerto Rican goods
since the Spanish evacuation of the
island, to be used for the relief of the
Puerto Ricans, had been read to the
house on the I'd that body had passed
and sent to the senate a bill to carry
out the recommendations. The bill as
passed is as follows: BE it enacted,
etc, that the sum of S2,095, ASS, being
the amount of customs revenue re
ceived on importations by the United
States from Puerto Rico since the
evacuation of Puerto Rico by the Span
ish forces on Oct. IS, 1898, to Jan. j,
1900, together with any further customs
revenue collected on importations from
Puerto Rico since Jan. 1, 1900, or that
shall hereafter be collected under eX-
listing law, shall be placed at the dis
posal of the President, to be used for
the government and benefit of Puerto
Rico until otherwise provided by law;
and the revenues herein referred to al
ready collected and TO be collected un-
der existing law, are hereby appro-
priated for the purposes herein specified
out of any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated.
"Mr Quay will not be seated" was
the terse prophecy of Senator Burrows
on the 2sth. II am confident that
there will be more than enough votes
to keep him out of the senate. The
vote of "a to % on taking up the case
means nothing | know of several sen
ators that voted to take up the case
who will vote in the negative when il
comes to the main issue.
The battle royal over the Puerto
Rican tariff bill ended in the house on
the 2sth in a sweeping victory fol
the Republicans. The bill, amended
as agreed upon at the conference OF
Republicans on the Goth, so as to reduce
the tariff from % to - per cent of the
American tariff, and limiting its life tc
two years, was passed by vote of II,
yeas to l61 nays.
A cablegram received at the state de
partment on the 9Th from Adelbert
Hay, United States consul at Pretoria
indicates that he is having no trouble
whatever in the full exercise of his
functions and is on an excellent footing
with Boer officials who gave him any
information desired as to the con
dition of the British soldiers and pris
oners at Pretoria.
The bill providing form of govern
ment for the territory of Hawaii was

shot His Wife Three Times.

Emmett l.. Branch, colored waiter
at the Hotel Cadillac, Detroit, on the
evening of the 4th went TO the home OF
his mother-in-law, where his wife had
been stopping since they parted, and
after few minutes of conversation
pulled revolver from his pocket and
started in to end his wife's existence.
The woman rushed into the street and
her husband with revolver in hand
gave chase, firing as he followed. The
second bullet took effect in the woman's
back and she fell to the ground. At
this juncture the enraged husband
rushed up to her and held the revolver
to her temple in his final effort to end
her life, but Mrs. Branch threw up her
right arm and the revolver was knocked
aside, and the bullet that was intended
for her head pierced her wrist. Branch,
thinking he had ended her life, turned
the revolver upon himself. Placing
the muzzle of the weapon against the
right side of his head he pulled the
trigger, and fell in the road beside the
PROSTATE form of his wife. Both were
alive at last report, but the husbands
injuries are considered the most seri-

A million dollars is a large sum of
money for any city to give as free
will offering in honor of it's own his
tory and positions among cities. And
the proposed memorial to be erected at
the foot of Belle Isle, Detroit, is, in its
purely artistic proportions and in its
character as perpetual tribute to the
record already made by the citizens of
Detroit and Michigan, an equally great
proposition. But dispite this fact the
gentlemen having the bicentenary me-
mortal in charge believe the money can
be raised, and have organized on thor

plslnfecting Of schools. Etc.

Secretary Baker of the state board
of health says the board does not en-
courage the closing of churches,
schools, etc, during an epidemic of
communicable diseases. The law, he
says, does not provide for this, but does
provide that every case shall be
promptly isolated Public places, if
exposed, should be thoroughly disin-
fected and aired, and then reopened.
Health officers, he says, have no au-
thority to order the closing of public
places This lies with the governing
authorities.
