Rusv Week for Congress.

Washington, March 27.-The army
appropriation bill will be taken up to-
day and doubtless will serve for a text
for wide latitude of discussion on
military affairs. The latter part of the
week will be devoted to the naval, the
agricultural or the Notifications appro-
priation bills.
In the senate. Puerto Rico, accord
ing to present indications, will step
aside temporarily at the beginning of
the week in order to afford Senator
Carter an opportunity to secure con-
sideration for his Alaskan code bill.
The present condition of affairs in
Alaska and the prospect of a still
greater influx of people into that ter
ritory make the Alaskan legislation
very important.

Foraker Bill Recommitted.

Washington, March 27.-For few
minutes in the senate Saturday sur
prise. bordering on almost consterna-
ton in some quarters, was created by
a request of Mr.. Foraker that the
Puerto Rican government bill be re-
committed to the Puerto Rican COM
mittee. During the elucidation of his
request Mr.. Foraker indicated that it
was his purpose to separate the bills
and press the Puerto Rican tariff bill
to an early vote, his desire being to
have the vote taken not later than
next Thursday, probably amended so
as to have the duty apply only to ex-
ports to the United States proper, and
not to imports from this country.

church-the pulpit of Beecher and Ly-

ance at the doctrines of the Presbyte-
rian church, in which he had grown
up and to which he still owes allie
glance: II would rather shake my
fist in the face OF the Eternal and fling
every vile epithet toward the stainless
throne. where eternal mercy sits with
the worlds atoning Savior, than lift
my hand with that creed toward Gods
throne and affirm that taught or be-
lieved it, Beginning his sermon with
a statement Of the great Importance
that ideals Of the future life have for
men, he quickly made the assertion
that until evolution came the world
had no data for an adequate discussion
of the problems of right and wrong
and penalty. He placed himself fairly
and squarely upon the ground that
both natures penalties and Gods pun
ishments represent. not anger, but me-
dicinal love, that they are not to break
the bruised reed, but to bring growth
and victory.

two jewelers. with such shops as you would
expect to find in a place Of a couple OF thousand

and clock and jewelry repairing than they did
in selling things, one doing about the same
amount Of business as the other. and each Of
them just about making a living. and maybe

OF the house come az once to a definite decision.
