Our committee started the assumption that
the island of Puerto Rico should be treated
Territory, but after examining the ground pretty
thoroughly IL has become advisable, 1t seems, to
regard Puerto Rico as colony. 1t is hard to tell
just what the outcome of the present deliberations
will be, but the fact that practical reversal Of
position has been found necessary is in itself in
teresting."

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-03-10

One of the clerks in the Pennsylvania
railroad office who is something of a wit
came down yesterday morning with a
tale about his baby-his frstborn. There
was nothing unusual in this particular
clerk relating the experiences of his baby,
for, like all young fathers, he is addicted
TO the practice, but this tale was out OF
the ordinary.
With many diGressions and considera-
bic establishment the proud parent re-
lated how his offspring had thrown the
household into CONSERVATION by swallow
ing sponge and how various remedies
had been applied TO relieve the child.
Finally one of the other clerks grew
weary of the recital and broke in with:
"Oh. cut il short. The kid didn't kick
the bucket, did it?"
Not exactly" replied the young par
ent, but he threw up the sponge. ~

The colonization Of Siberia has been
making rapid progress during the past
few years, according to Consular Agent
Harris 1T Eibenstock, in a recent report
to the department of state. This, says
MIR. Harris, may be attributed solely to
the construction Of the Siberian railway
The number of emigrants from Russia
proper to Siberia has increased from 2O3.-
600 in 1896 70 223,OO0 last year. The
construction OF the road has greatly re-
luctd the cost Of emigration. Ten years
ago the cost Of a trip from central Rus
STA to Tomsk, which is the destination
of about onp-half Of the emigrants, was
$50: today it is only SO. The Russian
government grants subsidies for the pur-
pose Of helping new settlers, and this
money is spent in encouraging farming
and fruit raising. In the newly-settled
districts. 400 churches and seventy-three
schools have already been built. and six
ty-fve churches and thirty-two schools
are in progress Of construction.
