Efforts mt Amendment.

The controversy grew out OF the efforts
to have the bin amended. There are
some senators who hold that legislation
for Puerto Rico for the present. at least.
should be confined to providing for the
immediate needs of the Inhabitants of
Puerto Rico and should not include ef-
forts TO establish a form OF government.
These senator's generally believe that
Puerto Rico should receive no favors In
the way OF tariff reduction and are con-
tent TO allow the present tariff rates to
continue until, as they put IL. there is
more time and the senate is better pre-
pared for the dispassionate consideration
of the question. Their idea is to leave
the island in the hands OF the war depart

KENTUCKY QUIETING DOWN,

FRANKFORT, Ky. March 12-The situa-
ton in Frankfort tonight shows a radical
Improvement from that OF twenty-four
hours ago Public excitement worked up
to the highest pitch by the arrests Of Secre-
tary OF State Powers, Capt. Davis and the
others accused OF completely In the assas-
snation OF Gov. Goebel and by rumors
among the Republicans that the hastily or
ganized militia Of Gov. Beckham was to
attempt TO take possession OF the state
buildings. or arrest Gov. Taylor and among
the Democrats that the state militia would
attempt to arrest Gov. Beckham, died away
almost entirely when Il became evident that
neither side had any intention of initiating
hostiltles
Nevertheless. great uneaslncss still exists
especially among the Republicans. Gov.
Taylor has been urged by several Republic
an leaders TO remove the seat of govern
ment to London for the present where he
would be safer from possible arrest but It
Is understood he has refused TO take such
action and viii remain In Frankfort until
the federal courts have finally PASSED on
the disputed governorsnip.

1t Is moro likely that the Beers are oniy

dence Is now felt In the military opera

There are more people with defective
eyesight in the cities OF this country than
you viii find in Great Britain or ireland. q"
said the uaturalized New Yorke- who serv-
ed IN the British Army when he was very
young man and who is now an opticfan
! 90 not judge by the number OF people
" no wear glasses here. as in American
ciJ'st glasses are worn II there Is the
slightest trace Of nearsigh teduess. while
few persons wear glasses for this cause
IN the old country unless they are so near
sighted that the wearing Of glasses is a
positive necessity. But taking il on the
whole there are more people here whose
eyesighi begins 90 fail AT a comparatively
early age than In England. ireland. or Scot
land. and fewer people who have eNtep-
tiODally keen eyesight.
In the British Army you will find q
dozen men with exceptionally good eve
sight fo- one that you will find in the
American Army, and ! know q good many
soldiers IN this country. J once knew a
private Of the First Leicester Regiment
who has since been killed I'm the lighting
near Ladysmith. This man had such keen
sight that he could JeH the time by a
church clock at distance OF several miles

splendid sight on that occasion saved him
ard his comrades an unpleasant surprise
Il have heard OF American soldiers who

their number is much smaller in propor-

these Americans is man named Cullen.
who can see objects clearly at a distance
Of twelve miles. During the Spanish
American war Cullen. who is an artillery
man, aided his battery very materially in
sighting the guns for long ranges and al
ways by his unaided vision
Il account for the standard Of eycsight
being better IN the old country than here
principally because of the grey skies
there. There are so few sunny days IN
Great Britain and Ireland that the ewes
are not subjected TO the same strain as in
this country where there is a far greater
proportion Of sunny days. and the sun 8
rays are more vertical tnan in more north
erly countries. The glare has undoubtedly
much to do with bringing about the decay
Of the eyesight at an early age Another
reason is the nervous temperament of
Americans The optic nerve is very deli
