WASHINGTON, April 1l.-At special
meeting Of the ways and means COM
mittee it was decided by vote of s to
to report tho Porto Rico bill as it passed
the senate, without amendment, and to
move a concurrence i'll the senate
amendments. This means the accept
snce of the territorial form Of govern.
:aent for Porto Rico, as added to the
bill by the senate, and other lesser
changes OH the tariff and other features
The vote OH concurring in the senate
bill was on party lines, with the exccp-
ton of Mr.. Call Of Massachusetts,, the
Republican member of the committee
who first dissented from the bill.
The vote was not preceded by any ex-
tended discussion, Mr.. Grosvenor
promptly making the motion to concur
and report.
1t was made known during the meet
ing that the bill would be taken up at
once and and q strong intimation was
given that the plan contemplated was
to allow each side two hours.
A meeting of the rulos committee has
been called when the question Of a
special rule fixing the time and dura-
tion Of debate will be determined. If
two hours OH each side is allowed, the
vote will come later in the day, as con-
siderable time will be spent in passing
the special rule.
AS to tho final result of the vote there
continues to be much doubt and not

between the two Sides
Representative Long, Republican
''whip," said: ''There is too much
doubt to venture a prediction. The
situation is summed up thus: The Re-

there are Republicans against the bill;
that leaves majority of only 8. 1t is

Must Pay Full Fare.

A resolution adopted at the
meeting of the passenger com
m ittee of the trunk lines willlike-
ly cause big surprise when it
goes into effect. 1t provides
that after January. /, 1900, the
reduced rates given by the trunk
lines to clergymen, members of
the Salvation Army, Missionaries
and members of religious orders
shall be withdrawn. The effect
of such an agreement by this
committee is far-reaching. 1t
means that full fare will be eX-
acted from this class of travellers
by the following railroads.
Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, Delaware, Lackawauna and
Western, Lehigh Valley, New
York Central, Central of New
Jersey, Philadelphia and Reading
West Shore, Erie, New York,
Ontario and Western, Chesapeake
ond Ohio
The number of persons to
whom half fare permits have
issued has been steadily increas
ing. 1t isroughly estimated that
three of the trunk lines-the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn
sylvania aud the New York Cen
trail alone issued during the
past year 10000 such permits.
The other eight lines have prob
ably issued a sufficient number
to increase the total to about 75,
600.
Railroad men take the ground
that the idea under which a re-
duced rate ticket was sold to
workers in-the religious field
has largely disappeared with the
advancement Of the times. In
the early days Of railroads they
point out that the workers in the
cause Of religion were generally
without compensation and often
did manual labor part of their
time to obtain a livelihood. Now
it is contended that this condition
has greatly changed and clergy
men whose duties require them
to travel have salaries from con
gregations, or are supported by
special fund. This theopponents
to the idea of giving reduced rate
declare, enables them to pay the
same rate which the general
travelling public is charged

MOUNTAIN AIR.
Why II Is More HenIthfuI Than That
of Lower Attitudes

of Lower Attitudes.
The only reason why mountain air
is healthier than low air is that noun
tain air Is cleaner than low air. The
chemical composition of the atmos-
phere differs but little, if at all, wher-
ever the sample be taken. On Pixies
peak the relation of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents of the at
mosphere is the same as at the level
OF the ocean. The favorable effects
therefore of change of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents.
One important difference. however, is
the meteorological one. The air of
high attitudes contains no microbes
and Is, in fact, sterile. while near the
ground and some 100 feet above II
microbes are abundant.
In the air of Chicago and other
crowded places not only does the mi
crobe impurity increase. but other i'm
purities, such as the products of com
bustlon of coal. accrue also. Several
investigators have found traces Of hy-
drogen and certain hydrocarbons In
the air, and especially in the air of pine,
oak and birch forests. 1t is to those
bodies. doubtless consisting of traces
of essential oils. to which the curative
effects CT certain health resorts are
ascribed Thus the locality of fir
forest Is said to give relief in diseases
of the respiratory tract But all the
same, these traces of essential oils and
aromatic products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not apparently necessary con
stituents of the air. AS recent analy.
ses have shown. these bodies tend to
disappear in the air as n higher altl.
tude is reached until they disappear
altogether.-Lo Louisville Dispatch.
