The treasury department will be
ready to relieve the army officers of
the collection of customs in Puerto
Rico on May /, the date upon which
Gov. Allen will be inaugurated, and
the new law will take effect. The
joint resolution, allowing military Of
ficers to retain the civil offices they
now hold, until their civilian success
sors are appointed and qualified,
which has been adopted by Congress,
is simply intended to give Gov. Allen
needed time to make proper selec-
tons of Puerto Ricans to fill the
places. The resolution provides that
all the appointments shall be made
before August 1, next. The demo-
cratic attempt to create an adverse
sentiment, by criticising the prepare
ton by the administration to make
the Inauguration of Gov. Allen an i'm
pressive event, has fallen fat. There
are few Americans, even among dem
ocrats, who do not recognize the his
torical Importance of the Inaugural
ton of the first civil American govern
or of Puerto Rico, as well as the ne
cessity, viewed merely as a matter of
policy, of making the event a memo
rable one to the Puerto Ricans.

nation will not be as interesting as
it might be, because the same charac-

poses, SO that it is impossible to tell
how many stamps are placed upon
kilograms, how many upon express

etc. The beer stamp is a distinct one,
and the amount can be accurately
told. 1t will also be possible to inform
US how many proprietary stamps of
especial design have been furnished. ="

BIG PRO-BOER MEETING.

Many Members of Congress Attend a
Washington Demonstration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Grand
Opera House, the largest auditorium in
Washington, was packed to the doors
during the evening with an enthusiastic
audience which vigorously expressed its
sympathy with the Beers in their fight
with Great Britain. The demonstration
was planned as means of evidencing
public sentiment and in numbers and
enthusiasm was fully up to expectations.
The speakers included members of both
branches Of congress, and On the stage
were other public men who came merely
to add their moral support. The key
note of the speeches was that the Beers
were fighting for their independence as
our forefathers had done in 1776.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage were Senators Mason of Ilh-
nois, Allen of Nebraska and Tillman of
South Carolina; Representative Clark,
De Almond and Cochran of Missouri,
Bailey of Texas, Carmack and Cox Of
Tennessee, Rhea of Kentucky, Jones

FACTS ABOUT MILK.
How to Drink 1t So as to Receive tho
Greatest Benefit.

How to Drink 1t So as to Receive the
Greatest Benefit.
Many people complain that they can
not drink milk without suffering from
indigestion. Probably this is because
they take it too quickly or at the
wrong time. 1t should be remembered
that milk is food and not beverage
and therefore should not be taken with
a meat meal. Only very robust d.
gestion could cope with milk and meat
simultaneously, although nearly every
body can take glass Of milk with
benefit at the right time.
Another reason why many people
experience difficulty in digesting milk
is that they swallow it too quickly.
Very shortly after entering the stom-
ach milk is converted into curd, and
if glass Of milk be swallowed at one
gulp the result is that the mass be-
comes an almost solid lump Of curd,
very difficult indeed to digest. If, how
ever, the milk be taken in little sips,
the curd is formed in small pieces and
trouble is avoided.
There Is perhaps no better drink than
a cup Of hot milk, and it Is one which
may safely be INDUCED in. 1t is espe-
cially useful to some people on going
to bed, for it enables them to sleep,
when without it they would probably
lie awake for hours. Those people
who cannot take milk comfortably
after noting the above hints will find
they can do so If they add to it little
limewater-a teaspoonful to a tum-
bier will be all right.

GOLD IN A DUCKS CRAW.
Nebraska Farmer Thinks There I,
Yellow Metal on His Land.

Nebraska Farmer Thinks There II
Yellow Metal on His Land.
John Boss, prominent farmer living
In Loup township. about 13 miles west
Of Columbus. Neb.. has every reason to
believe that there is a gold deposit on
his farm. He killed one of his large
domestic ducks for Thanksgiving din
ner and found in the craw small parti-
cles Of what he believed to be gold.
He thought little of the matter until
he killed couple more ducks for the
New Year dinner, when he found two
larger pieces. He brought these to
town, and they were tested by jewel
sr, who pronounced them gold of about
i6 carat fineness, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. The largest piece weigh
ed nearly three pennyweights and is
worth $1.05.
Mr.. Boss farm lies along the south
bank. of the Loup river. and he intends
to do some prospecting in the early
spring. 1t Is believed that the fowls
picked up the gold in a small sand bot
toned creek which flows into the river
near the place.

CAUSE OF SPECULATION.

London Wondering if NIr. Davis Has Not
Some Sort of Official NJ ission.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The publication of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing a private car to take Webster, Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, Notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort Of official mission.
1t is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive SO much atten-
ton. The subject is attracting the Con-
tinental papers, who are inquiring
through their London representatives
whether the British government has in
formation regarding the mission of Mr..
Davis. They are loath to believe that
one Of President McKinley's assistant
secretaries would take vacation in the
Transvaal and be given leave of alb
sence for several months without some
such purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transva>l ow-
ing to the possibility that it might be
misinterpreted.

thirds vote under the constitutional pro-
vision. providing for expulsion.
"Your committee desire to assert with
the utmost positiveness at this point that
not only is the proposition of expulsion

dent, but that exclusion is entirely
in accordance with authority and legis-
lative precedent and not antagonistic to
any legislative action which the house
of representatives has ever taken"

AFTER TWO DEFEATS.

China Finally Yields to French Demands
for Territory.
TACOMA, WASH, Jan. 22.-The steam
or Monmouthshire brings news from
Shanghai that China has acuuiesced in
French demands for territory at Kang
Ohwan bay after two more Chinese de-.
feats. China deposed the viceroy Of
Kang Chwan province, appointing Ii
Hung Chang to succeed him. China
also agrees to decapitate the project who
began the warfare against the French
and to pay 200, 900 taels indemnity to the
families Of Frenchmen who were killed.
French leaders in Tonquin are
greatly elated and declare that
while England is busy in
Africa France should extend her sphere
Of influence of Klang Tung, Kwangsi
and Yunnan and demand equality with
England in SEE Chuan. On Dec. 20 q
company Of French soldiers were sent
into the interior to make demand and
prevent further native uprisings. They
engaged a body of Chinese troops and
fought their way through. A mob then
surrounded them, but was driven back.
One hundred natives were killed or
wounded. The same week three COM
panies Of marine infantry charged Chi
nese regulars, killing 20. French war
ships then threatened to go up the river
