President Mckinley will use his dis
erection about giving the information
asked for by the Allen restitution as to
the application of representative of
the Transvaal Republic for recogni-
ton by this government, and why
recognition was refused, as on motion
of Senator Spooner, the resolution
was amended so as to request the
President, elf not incompatible with
the public interests,'' to furnish the
information. This restitution has no
other object than to embarrass the
administration. It is a part of the
game which has been so unsuc-
cessfully played by the authors of the
numerous resolutions, asking for all
sorts of information concerning the
Philippines, and deserves no answer.
The sudden spasm of sympathy for
the Beers is in reality an attempt to
change the present friendly relations
between the U. S. and England, for
no better reason than for the making
of political capital among the Irish
vOthers.

The House adopted an important
amendment to the regular Pension
Appropriation Bill, before passing it.
1t authorizes the Commissioner of
Pensions to withhold the fee of any
attorney when he has knowledge that
the attorney has not discharged his
full duty to the claimant. It is said
to have been the practice of some at
torneys to do nothing toward getting a
case allowed after they filed it, trust
ing to the claimant getting some
member of Congress to push it
through, knowing that being the at
torney on record in the case, they
could not be kept out of their fee
when it was allowed.

In no way can the scenes and events
of the war in South Africa be brought
out more wildly and more intelli-
gently than in the splendid half tone
Illustrations which the Boston Journal
is using daily. They are direct repro
auctions of photographs or accurate
apd artistic drawings, and the half
tone process presents them in all
their life and spirit. The Boston Journal
has always been famous as a great
"war newspaper" in the sense of Civ
ing the best, most comprehensive and
most readable news reports This
reputation the Journal is surely main
tanning during this present war.
The Journal, however, by no means
confines it's illustrations to war news.
Portraits of New England people of
prominence and scenes of timel
interest are brought out best by the
Journals half tone process.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITS
SlONER MADE PUBLIC.

Special Commissioner Henry Carroll
reports that Porto Rico has an esti-
mated area of $3.50 to $3.50 square
miles, the climate i, tropical, not tor
rid, the death rate is moderate, yellow
fever is not Indigenous, but smallpox
is sometimes epidemic, population

is decreasing, the whites now number
ing sixty four per cent of the Whole,
Catholic is the state religion, the
people are kindly; hospital, police
department and roads are good, the
crops most generally raised are coffee,
cane and tobacco, the grades of cot
fee being among the finest; the fruits
such as are common in tropical coun-
tries; raising cattle is an important
and lucrative industry; field labor
ranges from thirty five to fifty cents,
native money, and people are indus
trious. Women are rarely seen in
the fields.
Among Commissioner Carroll's re-
commentators are that the consti-
tuition of the United States be extended
t o Porto Rico and that territorial
form of government similar to that
established in Oklahoma be provided;
that the legislative power shall ex-
tend to all regulations for the exer-
else of the elective franchises; that
the legal voters of the island be per-
mitted to elect delegate to Congress;
that commission be appointed con-
sisting of three persons who shall be
natives of the island and two of the
United States with power to revise
the Codes; that the jury system be
adopted; that tho banking and patent
laws of the United States be extended
to the island; that a court of claims
be established to adjudicate all claims
to property, secular and ecclesiasti-
cal, arising out of the treaty of Paris;
that the rule adopted by the military
government as to civil marriages be
continued in force; that the Spanish
silver coins be retired and the coins
of the United States substituted; that
the governor general and the legis
lature be required to provide for
universal and obligatory education in
free schools where English shall be
taught, and that an agricultural ex
pertinent station be established for
the island.

THE END OF AN EMPIRE.

Macmillan, the unfortunate young
man who was presented by the French
with an empire which did not belong
to them, was in some measure a
scapegoat for the sins of others. We
cannot refuse him our sympathy as
we read of his dignity and calmness
in the days which preceded his exc
cution at Queretaro, in the heart of
his fallen empire of Mexico. A lady
who was an eye witness of many
scenes of the short-lived empire tells
the story in "Maximilian in Mexico"
On June 18th false tidings of the
Empress Charlotte's death reached
Macmillan. The information, while
it stirred the very depths of his ma
ture, proved a help to him in his last
moments. The bitterness of leaving
his unfortunate wife in her helpless
condition was thus spared him. zone
tie less to bind me to the world,'' he
said.
The execution had been fixed for
June 10Th. Macmillan received the
news calmly, although he heard it on
the morning Of the day set. He re-
ceived the sacrament, and then, re-
moving his wedding ring and handing
it to Doctor Bosch, he said:
"You will tell my mother that I did
my duty as soldier and died like a
Christian After this he quietly
awaited death.
The appointed hour passed, how
ever. After prolonged suspense, at
four O'Clock news arrived of a reprieve
for three days.
The delay aroused hopes in his
friends. Maximilin did not share
them. He continued his preparations
with the calm dignity that had not
once deserted him; but he sent a
telegram to the national government,
asking that the lives of his two faith
full generals, "who had already under
gone all the anguish Of DEATH" might
be spared, and that he might be the
only victim. The request was denied.
On the morning of his execution he
rose early and dressed with care. AS
he parted from his friends, one
weakened under the ordeal and felt
faint. The prince held a smelling
bottle to his nose.
Followed by his generals, Maximil-
ian walked to the open square, where
an adobe wall had been erected,
against which they were expected to
stand. About to take his position in
the middle, Macmillan stopped, and
turning to General Miramon, said:
GA brave soldier should be honored,
even in his last hour; permit me to
give you the place of honor" and he
made way for him.
An officer and seven men had been
detailed to do the deadly work. The
prince gave each of the soldiers a
piece of gold, asking them to aim
carefully at his heart, aud taking off
his hat, he said:
''Mexicans, may my blood be the
last TO be spilled for the welfare of
the country; and if it should be nee
essary that it's sons should still shed
theirs, may it flow for it's good, but
never by treason. Long live indie
pendence! Long live Mexico!"
He fell, pierced by five bullets.
