CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

Before this paper reaches our readers
the Puerto Rican tariff law will have
become the law of the land. The little
United States, though by the exigen-
cies of war, will be the first of the new
insular possessions to be given form
of government. When the house con-
Cured in the senate amendments TO
the house tariff bill on the afternoon
of the 18th, by vote of 161 to 1853,
there closed what will doubtless prove
the most remarkable debate of the first
session of the 56th congress. Party al
legiance carried the measure through,
and If the people choose to make an is
sue OF IL, il is theirs TO decide. Michi-
gan mustered one vote against the bill,
that of Henry c. Smith.
The naval department is doing all in
its power TO relieve the famine stricken
people of India. DIR. Lewis Klopsch,
of the Christian Herald, has notified
the department that he has succeeded
in collecting a large supply of food
stuffs, mainly corn, for the famine suf-
ferers, and has appealed TO the depart
ment to transport this supply TO India.
Charles Pepper was at the navy depart
ment on the 10th 30 urge speedy action
in the matter and met with success.
With little debate of Importance the
senate on the 18th passed the Pacific
cable bill, measure introduced by
Mr.. Hale, appropriating 10000 for
the construction of cable line be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu.
The bill was unanimously reported by
the committee on naval affairs and that
it was passed without serious objection
is regarded as a compliment to the com
mittee.
The house committee on rivers and
harbors on the 10th voted to take trip
through the great lake region next
July at the request of the lake carriers
in order to investigate the needs of
navigation. At a recent hearing be-
fore the committee, Capt. Wolvin ex-
tended an invitation to the committee
and the present action is the result.
The Corliss bill for the election of
senators by the direct vote of the peo-
pie, with the Rucker amendment as to
the manner of doing the same, which
amendment met the views of the mem
Der from the First Michigan district,
passed the house on the 13th by vote
of 2i0 to 10.
The house committee on public lands
on the 18th acted favorably on bills
granting right of way for electric
power through government reserva-
tions and parks, except the Yellow
stone, and giving so, 900 acres of public
lands to Wyoming for a soldiers home.

points other than Havana will be trans
mitted in specie to the treasurer at
that place.
The secretary of war has authorized

her use as station ship in the new

3D. cavalry recently surrounded a viii
lage in Benguet province and surprised
200 insurgents, living in barracks, APP
parently a recruiting center for the
province. The enemy lost 50 men

The President on the 18th issued an
order merging the departments of Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio, Cuba, under
the command of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
with headquarters at Quemadoa. The

"Dr. Hartman:
Dear Sir-Pe-ru-na has been my
salvation. 1t has given me back a
beautiful voice, gift OF God; 1t has
brought me once more to my old pro-
fession. | can talk now, and sing,

the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal

A HINT FOR SPRING.
When Huu,.keepers Are Frightening the
Interiors OF Their Homes.

Now that the backbone OF this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dingy look OF
the home interior. The question OF
new wall coverings is up. Paper Is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use of such cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. IL can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
II is long lasting.
