slopes were very narrow, and one had
to penetrate to cavities (stopes) of not
more than two or three feet from roof

were quite cavernous In the latter the

Is Steyn Deposed?
CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March 1.-Two meas
ures of national Importance and many
of slightly lesser interest were passed
by the senate. The legislative. execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill,
carrying more than S25,000,000, was
passed without debate. The measure
providing for the appointment of a
commission to adjudicate and settle
| the claims of people of the United
| States growing out of the war with
Spain was also passed without opposi-
ton. For brief time the Porto Rico
government and. tariff measure was
under consideration. Senator Foraker
trep., Ohio), in charge of the bin, SUBJ
mitted some committee amendments.
A few were agreed to. but the import
ant ones are still pending.
A free trade amendment
to the bill was offered by
Senator Beveridge (rep., Ind). A bill
was passed to provide for the construc-
ton of a revenue cutter for use on st.
Mary's river. Michigan, and appropri-
ating $4,000 therefor. The senate
agreed to the request of the house for a
conference on the bill appropriating
$2095 900 for Porto Rico. and Senators
Allison, Hale and Coekrell were ap-
pointed conferees. Senator Foraker
called upon the Porto Rican tariff
bill for the purpose of perfecting the
bill as far as possible. The amend
ment agreed to eliminate entirely sec
ton 5 of the original senate bill. In
serted in lieu thereof was the follow
ing: The commissioners of naviga-
ton shall make such regulations, sub
ject to the approval of the secretary of
the treasury. as they shall deem expe-
dent for the naturalization of all ves-
sells owned by the inhabitants OF Porto
Rico on April IL, 1892 and which con-
tinued TO be so owned up to the date
of such naturalization, and for the
admission OF the same to all benefits
of the coasting trade of the United
States. And the coasting trade be-
tween the United States and Porto Ri
co shall be regulated with the provi-
sions of law applicable to such trade
between any two great coasting dis
tricts."
Washington. March 19.-The house
refused 10 concur in the senate
amendments to the Porto Rican
relief bill. The democrats supported
the motic2 70 concur on the ground
that il would avoid further
delay in extending relief to
the inhabitants OF the island
but the republicans stood firmly be-
hind Chairman Cannon in his demand
that the house should insist upon its
original provision to appropriate not
only the money collected on Porto Ri
can goods up to January LIST, but all
subsequent monies collected or to be
collected. Mr.. Lorimer (rep., ND in
troduced a joint resolution for a sur
vey of the channels OF the upper Im-
no!s river and the lower Des PLANES
river, with view to extension OF nav
igation from the Illinois river and
Lake Michigan, in connection at Lock
port with the sanitary canal construct
ed by the city OF Chicago.

Washington, March 24.-For a few
minutes q surprise, bordering almost
on CONSERVATION in some quarters, was
created by the request of Senator For
aker, that the Porto Rican govern
ment bill be recommitted to the Porto
Rican committee. The request precip-
itated a lively colloquy but it finally
was developed that the bill Senator
Foraker wanted recommitted was the
government measure now on the calen
.dar However, Foaker plainly indi-
Gated that it was his purpose to sepa-
rate the bills and press the Porto Rican
tariff measure to an early vote, his de-
sire being to have the vote taken not
later than next Thursday. A measure
was passed providing for the appoint
ment by the president of a commits
sion to investigate the trade and COM
merce of the orient with the view to
extension of American commerce.
Washington, March 24-After brief
and spirited debate the house took the
the Porto Rico relief bill, agreeing to
the conference report by a vote of 135
to 81. The bill turns over to the presi-
dent for the use of Porto Rico, about
S2000,000 of the customs receipts coll
lected on Porto Rican goods up to Jan.
last, and such amounts as may here
after accrue until otherwise provided
by law. The debate lasted but an
hour, but in this time the whole range
of the Porto Rican legislation was dis
cussed. An important bill. passed dur
ing the day, appropriates $4,000 for
designs for suitable memorial m
Washington to Ulysses S. Grant, this
being the first step in a movement to
secure an arch similar to the arch of
triumph in Paris, commemorating the
illustrious soldier and statesman. F"

Washington, March 2O.-The discus
sion of the Porto Rico government and
tarim bill was resumed in the senate,
Senator Morgan (dem., Ala.) presenting
a speech dealing with some of the con-
stitutional phases of the measure. He
maintained that, as the treaty of Paris
was the supreme law of the land, it
was impossible for the United States t.
abandon either Porto Rico or the Phil
lpplnes. He held also, that the con-
stitution extended, to a certain extent
at least, over acquired territory and
that the inhabitants of Porto Rico
were citizens of the United States. Re
ferring to Cuba, Senator Morgan said:
mat treaty requires us to occupy the
island We cannot abandon Cuba
without disgrace and without yiolat-
ling our pledged faith to Spain.
Nor can we abandon Porto Rico or the
Philippines without inviting anarchy
and internecine war. The abandon
ment of the islands being impossible.
the Inhabitants of Porto Rico ought
to be given as full citizenship as any
native inhabitants of the country an
nexed heretofore. | believe if Porto
Rico is foreign country we cannot
pass laws to be enforced there" Con-
corning the tax laws of Porto Rico.
Senator Morgan maintained that con-
gress should provide laws that should
be uniform throughout the United
States and Porto Rico In conclusion
he said no bounds to our territory were
set by the constitution and no limits
were set to our expansion
Washington, March 20.-The house
entered upon consideration of
the Loud bill to restrict the
character of publications entitled to
pound rates as second-class mail mat
ter. The bill has been before congress
several years. Mr.. Loud defended the bill
in long speech Other speakers were
Messrs. H. C. Smith (Mich), in favor
of the bill; Messrs. Little (Ark.), Bell
(Col.), Henry (Miss.), Stokes Is. c.,
and Brown (Ohio), in OPP
position to it. Before the
bill was taken up Mr. Sulzer (dem., N
Y.) delivered a denunciation of the ad-
ministration in connection with the
resolution of inquiry calling upon the
war department for information as to
what Notifications Great Britain was
erecting on the Canadian border. The
committee on military affairs sub
mitted the reply of Adjutant General
secret but that Great Britain was
erecting no works which threatened
our rights.

gated the subject had given his APPROX

for five cents could not be sent as sec

elected much applause. After the
adoption of several amendments relat-
