HOUSE CONCUR
Republican Managers Have De.
cided on a Porto Rican
Programme
And Have Called q Conference to
Pass Upon the Plan as
Outlined.
Desire Senate Amendments Con.
Cured In-.-WOuld Save
Discussion.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Repub.
lican managers of the house have sub
stantially agreed upon q programme
relative to the Porto Rican tariff bill
They have canvassed the situation and
have decided to hold a caucus or con-
ference at s o'clock, at which the man.
ayers will present their plan. This plan
is to concur in the senate amendments
and thus avoid all delays and problems
involved in an attempt to amend the
senate provisions. The managers will
advocate the adoption of rule which
will allow two days for the discussion
of this proposition and then bring it to
a vote. A very prominent Republican
Of the house, who has canvassed the sit.
uation, says that the proposition will
carry by a substantial majority larger
than that by which the original bill
passed the house.
The managers agreed that the plan to
substitute the house bill providing a
civil government for Porto Rico for the
senate provision would be bad policy,
as there was really little difference be-
tween the two, and the senate provision
had the advantage of having been thor.
oughly discussed in the senate and per-
fected there.
The Republicans Of the house who
voted against the original bill at an in
formal conference decided not to attend
the conference.

PARLIAMENT MEETS
Gus Absence of Public Excite-~ &

London, Jan. 31.-The seventh ses-

element
The speaker, William Court Gully,

of the soldiers is commented. Deep grief
is expressed at loss Of so many valuable
lives, and heartfelt qualification at the
patriotic eagerness and spontaneous loyal
ty with which her subjects have responded
to the common defense of their imperial
interests. The queen says she expects they
will bring the struggle to a victorious con-

A BoER GIRLS WEDDING.
Picturesque Affair Preceded by
Sports and Followed by Pro-
Ionged Gayety.

A wedding is always an event of al
most national Importance, and is really
a most picturesque ceremony. The
friends and relatives may arrive day
or two ahead of time, according to the
distance to be travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes a most animated
scene. Scores of ox-teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are busting around; guns are
fired promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the cot
tage, and everywhere around it; inn
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and joy is uncon-
fined. After the ceremony, and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom. the wedding feast is eaten
and then the guests spend the night
in dancing and playing games. 1t would
be breach of etiquette for any of the
guests to depart before the dawn, and,
indeed the fiddler's music and the
sound made by the dancing feet are
often heard until noon of the following
day. The wedding tour consists of a
journey to the cottage and farm which
the husband has secured from his
father and which adjoins the old home
stead.-Ladies' Home Journal.

BoLIvIA'S QUININE.
Extensive Groves That Furnish Bark
for the Market - How 1t
Is Gathered.

The quinine plantations, or quinales,
as they are called, which have been
started in this country by the Germans,
are usually found on rough and broken
mountain sides and at attitudes of 5000
or 1000 feet above the sea. The trees
will grow at an elevation of 5000 feet,
but they flourish best at about 1000, for
they require a great deal of sun, rain
and wind to reach perfection.
Most of the groves have been raised
from the seed, which is gathered in the
early summer months and planted in
lighthouses. When the plants are about
six inches high they are transplanted
upon the hillsides, which have been
cleared of underbrush and plowed up
beforehand, so that the young roots
can secure the benefit of all the mois-
ture and plant food in the soil and the
heat of the sun. For shelter they are
partially covered with twigs, straw or
other light stuff, which also serves to
keep the moisture and heat in the
ground. After about two years this
shelter is raked off, the plants are care
fully inspected and those which are not
promising are replaced by new ones
The ground around them is kept clear
of weeds and the young trees are care
FULLY trimmed twice year. In five or
six years the tree will have reached a
height of IL or IA feet and its trunk
will be straight and slender, with di-
ameter of about six inches. 1t resem-
bles the orange tree in size and shape
and the peculiar gloss of its leaves.
Two or three times year three or
four strips of bark about two inches
wide and from two to eight feet long
are cut from the trunk and thrown up
on a paved yard to dry, where, as the
moisture evaporates, they curl up like
cinnamon. Within a year or so nature
replaces the bark that has thus been
stripped off and the tree is stripped
again in other places. AS it grows older
smaller strips can be taken from the
stronger branches, and a mature tree
will produce an annual average of about
four pounds of bark.
The bark dries in few days and is
packed for shipment in rawhide bales.
The most of it is shipped from africa
and Mollendo.-Chicago Record.

MGOvERN WINS.
The Wonderful Little Fighter knocks
Out Santry in Five Rounds
In Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Terry McGovern,
of Brooklyn, at Fattersall's Thursday
night proved his right to the title of
feather weight championship of the
world by knocking out Eddie Santry,
of Chicago. who claimed the leader
ship of the 122-pound class, by virtue
of a Knockout of Ben Jordan, of Eng
land. The knockout came in the fifth
round after fierce mixup, in which
Santry did some clever work, but Ter
ry was too strong for the Chicago lad,
and strengthening Santry up with a
short-arm jolt to the stomach landed
left and right to the jaw in quick sue
'cession and Santry fell to the floor on
his face. He got up at the count Of
ten, but was in such a weakened con-
dition that Referee George Siler de-
clared McGovern the winner to save
Santry from further punishment, as
he was staggering all over the ring
and would have been out with the
next blow.
