Waters of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON, April aO.-1n accord
ance with the recommendation of the
president in his message sent to con-
gress Wednesday, the senate yesterday
passed joint resolution providing for
the administration Of civil affairs in
Porto Rico pending the appointment of
officers under the Porto Rican govern
ment law recently enacted.
The Alaskan civil code bill was again
under consideration, the debate con-
tinuing on the Hansbrough alien miners
amendment. Garter presented formally
his substitute for the Hansbrough
amendment and delivered speech in
favor of it. Spooner antagonized both
the original and sub amendments, hold
ing that the courts ought to settle the
conflicting claims without interference
by congress.

WILL USE AMERICAN MONEY.
Arrangements Completed For Retirement
of Porto Rico CURRENCY.


of Porto Rico Currency.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The treas
ury department. has completed the ar
rangements for the retirement Of Porto
Rican money and the substitution Of
American currency. James A. Sam
pie, the chief of the issue division Of
Treasurer Roberts Office, and w. P.
Watson of New York, an expert ac-
countant, have been selected to go to
Porto Rico to make the exchange.
The work is to be done under the
Porto Rican bill recently passed by
congress, which provides for the re-
tirement of the Porto Rican peso and
all other money on the island and the
exchange therefor of American money.
1t is estimated that there are 10, ,OOO,-
600 pieces of silver and other metallic
currency in the island and now in cir
culation. These pieces are worth 5,0O0,-
900 pesos. Congress has decided that
the exchange shall be made on the basis
of 60 cents for the pesos. About s., ,000,-
900 of American money will therefore
be required to take up all the minor
money in Porto Rico.

Big Damage Case Now Occupies the
Attention of the Court.
MUCH INTEREST TAKEN.
The Court Does Little Else This Week
Defense Develoves Sensations. Con-
cluded Tomorrow.

The Moore vs. McHenry damage case
has occupied the entire time of the
court on both Thursday and today and
the end is not yet. The majority of
our readers are familiar with the main
facts of the case, and as the matter is
still before the court the REVIEW does
not deem it proper to enter into any de-
tails which might prejudice public
opinion and, through it, find its way to
the jury box.
The facts in the case are that in Sep
tember, Mrs W. A. McHenry stopped
at the Bell House in Odebolt on her
way home from Lake Okiboji. Some
time after reaching Denison she missed
jewels and cash to the value of
about $500. The last she remembered
of having the valuables was at the Ode
dolt hostelry. Steps were at once taken
to recover the property and suspicion
fell on Mrs. Rosa Moore, chamber
maid who had left the hotel on the Sat.
urday following Mrs. McHenry's visit
there Mr.. and Mrs. McHenry had a
search warrant issued and together with
the sheriff of Calhoun county, proceed
ed to the home of Mrs. Moore's brother
where she was staying. A search OF
Mrs. Moore's person and effects failed
to reveal anything. Not long afte,
Mrs. McHenry found her valuables
Some correspondence took place be
tween Mrs. McHenry and Mrs. Moore
Then Mr.. and Mrs. McHenry met Mrs
Moore at Lake City. This meeting il

position to Any Change In the Law.
SALT LAKE, April 20.-Governor Lee
of South Dakota and Governor Poynter
Of Nebraska arrived yesterday and took
part in the proceedings OF the COVER
nors Of five western states who have
met to discuss subjects of interest to
their section. Resolutions were adopted
opposing any change in the present
laws Regarding arid lands, bat proyida
ing that ''if they are not satisfactory to
the congress of the United States then
we favor cession of the said arid lands
to the several states iii which they are
situated under such laws and condi-
stions as will guarantee the benefits of
the free homestead laws to the people
of the United; States and that will pre-
vent said lands either by fee simple
title or, by the leasing thereof from pass
ing into the possession or control of
syndicates or wealthy individuals in
large quantities to the exclusion Of
others, and Under such conditions that
the several states may have the income
arising from said lands to be devoted to
the reclamation and improvement
thereof for settlement by bona fide cit
liens" !"
Governor Lee Of South Dakota was
the only one who opposed the resolu-
ton. His opposition was simply be-
cause he believed that the demand for
cession to the states should be put first.
A form of letters to be sent out to
other governors was adopted.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 2O.-The
Republican convention which met. here
yesterday resulted in the predicted split
and two delegations will be sent to the
national convention. There { were
stormy scenes at the capitol prior to the
meeting of the convention and the re-
suit the serious wounding of Castor
Scott, a Young white man, by Frank L.
Moragne OF Gadsden, who had been
chosen sergeant-at-arms of the conven-
ton by the executive committee
Chairman Vaughn and his friends
had possession of the hall and would ad
nit none of their opponents. When
Moragne demanded admit tance he be-
came involved i'll quarrel with CASTOR
Scott, a doorlkeeper, as result of which
Moragne fred three shots at Scott. The
combatants were at close range and
Scott received the first bullet in his
hand as he was attempting to knock
away the pistol. The second bullet en-
tered Scott's left breast just above the
heart, and he fell to the floor. The
third shot went wild. 1t is thought
Scott will recover. A brother of Scott
followed Moragne towards the gov
ernor's Office and when Scott reached
the governors door he drew his pistol
and fired two shots at random down the
corridor.
Governor Johnston, when he learned
of the shooting, ordered the state house
closed against both factions. On being
expelled from the capitol, the anti
Vaughn or Bingham faction organized
with M. D. Wickersham of Mobile,
chairman.
