FOR THE ISOLATION WARD.
Appropriation of $1,000 for the Gar
field Hospital.

The House yesterday afternoon passed the
Senate joint resolution appropriating $1,000
for the isolation ward of Garfield Hospital
III the brief debate which accompanied the
passage Of the resolution Mr.. Fitzgerald of
Massachusetts asked Chairman Cannon what
was the nature Of the private corporation
for which this appropriation was proposed.
Mr.. Cannon said it was a corporation for
the purpose of running Garfield Hospital.
Patients who can pay do so, and those who
cannot do not pay.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he merely desired to
call the attention of the House to the fact
that the institution is a private one.- Ger
tain gentlemen We're in the habit of oppos-
ing appropriations for Catholic institutions
but seemed to acquiesce in this appropria-
ton, which was for another sectarian in
stitution. He would not object to the item,
however.
MIR. Cannon said that Garfield Hospital
and Providence Hospital had journeyed
along on the sundry civil appropriation bill
in the main fairly well, and he thought the
appropriation ought to be made. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald agreed with him, and there was no
further objection.

From the Chicago Tribune.


One afternoon recently a pedestrian on
Wabash avenue, in the vicinity of 35th
street, threw the lighted stub of his cigar
into the gutter accommodations of dust
papers and general litter, which have been
piling up for months. The pile promptly
took fire, the high wind scattering the
sparks; other heaps were kindled, and in
few minutes not alone the heaps, but the
pavement, was on fire for a distance of two
blocks and burning so f1ercely that resi-
dence property was endangered. The fire
department was summoned, and after half
an hours hard work succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames and saving the street.
Before the drainage canal was completed
and the waters of the lake were let into,
the river in sufficient volume to purify it,
it was no uncommon thing for the river to
take fire and burn fercely for distance
Of several blocks. The river, however, is
no longer combustible. 1t has been made
fre-proof by cleaning it. The lesson of the
river applies with still greater force to the
streets. There was but one river to burn
but three miles of streets outside the down.
town stone-paved district which are just
as infammable as Wabash avenue. 1t might
be novel feature of the pageant, but 1t
would not add to Admiral Dewey's comfort
to have several streets on the line of march
suddenly break into . blaze.

A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
More Time Given the President to
Appoint Porto Rican Officials.

The President yesterday sent to Congress
the following message:
The time remaining, before the 1st of May
when the act of April u. 1900. entitled an
act temporarily to provide revenue and
civil government for Porto Rico and for
other purposes, will take effect appears to
be insufficient for the careful inquiry and
consideration requisite to the proper selec-
ton of suitable persons to fill the important
civil offices provided for by the act The
powers of the present government will
cease when the act takes effect, and some
new authority will be necessary to enable
the officers now performing the various du-
ties of civil government in the island to
continue the performance Of those duties
until the officers who are to perform SINH
lar duties under the new government shall
have been appointed and qualified. That
authority cannot well be given at present
by temporary appointments of the existing
officers to positions under the act for the
reason that many of the existing officers are
officers of the army detailed to the perform
ance of civil duties, and section 1929 of the
Revised Statutes would prevent them from
accepting such temporary appointments un-
der the penalty of losing their commissions.
organization of the new government under
the act referred to will be accomplished
with all practicable speed, but in order that
1t may be properly accomplished, 1 recon-
mend the passage of a joint resolution to
obviate the difficulty above stated.
"WILLIAM MCKINLEY"
To carry into effect the Presidents mes
sage, Mr.. Foraker chairman of the Porto
Rican committee. introduced this joint reso-
luton: That untl tle officer to fill any

NATIONAL BIBLICAL CONGRESS-
Proceedings of the Closing Session
Held This Morning.

The closing session of the national hihIi-
cal congress- which has been in progress
Ior three days at the Foundry NJ E.
Church, was held this morning. Rev DR..
j. e. Gilbert presided. and while the at
tendance was small there was general
grat1fcation at the vast interest which the
discussions had inspired in the more COM
prehensVe study of the Bible and its
greater extension in an educational sense
The session was largely devoted to pass
Ing resolutions, including the usual ones of
thanks to the trustees of the church for
their courteSieS to the CITY paners and TO
President Mckinley. Thanks were also ex-
tended to the Southern Passenger Traffic
Association for courtesies extended to Off
GERS of the American Society of Religious
Education.
A resolution was also passed recommend
ing that the regents of the society consider
the advisabilty of holding a third national
biblical congress in 1901, and the cities of
Buffalo, Louisville, Nashville, Charleston
s. c., and Wilmington, Del, were suggest
ed as appropriate places in which to hold
it.
The only paper read was a scholarly one
by Rev. Dr. T. T. Eaton, which was a plea
for Bible study. The object of all study he
said was to get information and secure
education. and the most valuable informa-
ton. that which uplifted and broadened
and expanded the human mind, was to be
found in the Bible. In the pursuit of edu-
cation there were two purposes chiefly in
view, mental discipline and practical bene-
fits. The branches such as astronomy,
higher mathematics and metaphysics serv-
ed the first. and such things as business
college courses the second.
The Bible combined more than any other
book and was the ideal object of study. Its
translation had marked a new era in in
tellectual development and dissipated the
cloud that overhung the world in the dark
ages. The only stepping stones to civiliza-
ton, he said, in conclusion, were the Bible
and a republican form of government.
