Present Assistant Secretary of the Navy
to Preside In Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Charles Fl.
Allen, at present assistant secretary of
the navy, will be the first civil governor
of Porto Rico, under the provisions OF
the bill passed Wednesday by the house
of representatives.
Mr.. Allen was summoned to the white
house Thursday by the president and
the formal tender Of the post was made.
Mr.. Allen returned practical accept
ance. Then the president and the next
governor of Porto Rico spent an hour in
close conference respecting the matters
to be arranged in the immediate future.
Owing to the fact that little more than
two weeks time intervenes before the
civil government must go into opera
tion, it was decided that it would not
be practicable to complete the cabinet
of the governor in that time. There
fore, Mr.. Allen will go alone to San
Juan at the earliest possible moment
after Secretary Longs return to Wash
ington, which should be on Saturday

Senatorial Elections Deb ated.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The house
yesterday, after spirited debate,
adopted the resolution reported from the
insular affairs committee to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to desig-
nate repositories in Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines for the deposit of
government funds. By the terms Of
the resolution it applies to Cuba only SO
long as the island shall be occupied by
the United States. An amendment to
include the Philippines in this provision
as to Cuba, offered, as was stated, to
emphasize the desire of the opposition
not to retain the islands, was defeated
by party vote. A senate bill which
will permit the dependent mothers of
soldiers or sailors of the Spanish war,
even though they married confederate
soldiers, to receive the benefit of the
general pension law, was passed. The
remainder of the day was devoted to de-
bate upon resolution from the COM
mittee on election of president, vice
president and representatives in con-
gress for a constitutional amendment
empowering the legislatures of the
states to decide whether the United
States senators shall be elected by the
legislature or directly by the people. A
subresolution was offered by the minor
& ity Of the committee, which differed
from the majority resolutions in giving
the states no option. but providing that
in all states the people should vote di-
rectly for United States senators.

had a SIS bill in his hand and the woman
clutched her pocketbook, demonstrating
the fact that the collapse came SO sud-
den that neither had time to move.
