The house committee on insular affairs
voted to amend the Foraker resolution on
Puerto Rico so as TO make franchises and
concessions imperative until approved by
the president, and placing rigorous restric-
tions on charters to private corporations.
In the house Monday, on motion of Mr..
Hepburn, unanimous consent was given to
set aside May l and 2 for the considera-
ton of the Nicaraguan canal bill.
Previous to the consideration of the
postoflice appropriation bill, Mr.. Cooper,
chairman of the committee on insular al
fairs, asked unanimous consent for the
consideration of the Foraker resolution 10
provide for continuation in Office of the
present military administration in Puerto
Rico pending the appointment of civil OF
ficers under the civil government act.
The resolution carried two amendments
placed upon it by the insular affairs com
mittee; one to provide that franchises
should be approved by the president and
another placing certain restrictions upon
charters, corporations, etc.
The resolution was passed.
The consideration of the postoflice APP
preparation bill was then resumed.
An exciting encounter occurred at the
Occur d'Alene investigation when Bart
lett Sinscair, who was on the stand, gave
the lie to Attorney Robertson, represent
ing the miners.
Robertson sprang for Sinclair, aiming a
blow at his face. Several congressman
interviewed and held Robertson and Sin
clair from coming together.

Insurgent Leader Surrendered.

Manila, April 20.-General Montenegro,
one of the insurgents best fighters, has
surrendered to Colonel Smith in the noun
tains near Camaling, in the province of
Pangasinan, where, with General Maca-
bulos, he had been trying to reorganize the
Filipino army.
Colonel Smith, with five companies of
the Seventeenth regiment, nearly sur
rounded the force of Montenegro, who,
discouraged by the impossibility of max
ing his men stand against the Americans,
surrendered Macabulos escaped The in
surgents have attacked San Jose in tie
province of Batangas and Santa Cruz on
the lake fruitlessly.
Twelve hundred Tagalos attacked
Cases battalion headquarters of the
Fortieth regiment at Cagayon, island of
Mindanao, on the 18th. The Americans had
10 casualties, while of the attacking force
80 were killed and 80 wounded or taken
prisoners.
The enemy, numbering $50 rifemen, the
remainder being bolomen, archers and
mounted spearmen, swooped down in a
bowling mass at daylight, surprising and
killing three of the sentries. They
swarmed through the streets in small
parties, some bearing scaling ladders by
means of which they attempted to enter
the houses.
The Americans tumbled out of the bar
racks and formed IN the plazas and COM
panies began swooping the town. The
subsequent street fighting lasted 20 min
utes. Twelve of the Americans are now
on board the hospital ship Relief
The enemy withdrew to the mountains
in great confusion.

The Paris Exposition.

Paris, April 23.-Though work goes on
necessarily night and day, the installation
OF exhibits at Frances colossal exposition
is greatly retarded. The gates are closed
to visitors at o'clock in the evening,
when freight cars and wagons are allowed
to enter the grounds, and from that time
on the exhibition resembles a vast work
shop, with its changing hammers and
swarms of French workmen busily en-
gagged on the completion of the interior
of the buildings and in arranging the ex-
hibits. Even during visiting hours the
work inside the palaces goes steadily for
ward. The immense crowd present on the
opening two days-Easter Sunday and
Monday-have now dropped to about half
their number, but the exposition officials
declare themselves thoroughly satisfied, as
the figures still exceed those of the open
ing days of the exposition of 1899. The
attendance now averages about 100000
daily, about one-half of whom pay for ad-
mission. The rolling sidewalk, copied
from the original of the Chicago exposi-
ton, promises to be a great feature, taking
the place of the Eiffel tower of 1899. 1t
is crowded all day long by Parisians, who
regard it as much source of amusement.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Development is being prosecuted on
the Iron Mask mine by Superintendent
Hall, with view to blocking out
large reserve of ore before resuming
regular shipments.
Canadian Queen and Dumas groups,
two Ymir properties, are being opened
up with good results. The Dumas, on
Wild Horse creek, is soon to be incor-
porated.
Andrew ]. Drewry who is in charge
of operations on Sunset No. 2, has re-
ceived a telegram from ]. c. Drewry.
the managing director OF the Canadian
Goldfelds Syndicate, directing him to
shut down operations.
Recent development in the North
Star mine in East Kootenay has shown
up another large body of ore and add
ed fully s1,OOO,OOO to the reserves in
sight. They are running a five-drill
compressor and employing 80 men, and
are shipping rs tons of high-grade ore
a day to the Great Falls smelter.
The mining outlook is Frightening all
around Kaslo. English capitalists are
becoming interested in adjacent camps.
Ernest Mansfield, whose South Fork
deals have won him notoriety, is re
turning from London to put another
transaction through, while ]. c. Blythe,
who represents English capitalists,
cabled from Liverpool that everything
is most satisfactory regarding the pro-
posed smelter.
1t is probable that almost the entire
output of the Rossland mines will here
after be smelted at Northport. The lie
Roi is already shipping its ores across
the line for treatment, and it is expect
ed that as soon as the other big ship
pers begin regular delivery of their
products the Northport smelter will be
the chief receiving point.
One of the most promising mining
regions in British Columbia is the Lar
do-Duncan district, and there seems to
be every probability that 1900 will
mark the turning point to prosperity
there. Kaslo is the Quitting place for
the mines of that section and the only
communication in to the country is by
way of that city. The Kootenay Rail-
way & Navigation Company has just
placed fine steamer on the route from
Kaslo to Duncan City. The Argenta,
for that is the boats name, made her
initial trip up the Duncan river last
week. She is the first steamer of any
size that ever conquered the rapids.

REPUBLIC.

Kettle river falls power is to be used
for development of Boundary mines.
Republics big mill plant is to be
shipped in by wagon and 20 teams are
now hauling.
Good progress is reported by the drill
On the Stray Horse. The new hole is
500 feet deep.
Frank Gauthier, superintendent of
the Golden Harvest, states that the
tunnel is in 80 feet and that the aver
age width of the vein is about six feet.
A Waterman is holding the keys and
looking after the machinery at the
Princess Maud.
The new winze on the Morning Glory
is going down about three feet per day.
The ore values are not obtainable.
There is no change to report in the
situation at the Blacktail. It is get
ting to be bigger mine every day.
About the usual progress is being
made on the Rebate tunnel-15 feet a
week. Only small force is employed
The work of driving the south drift
on the San Poll continues steadily
From two to three feet per day is add
ed to the length of the drift. 1t is in
about $50 feet.
The two compartment shaft on the
Tom Thumb is 1856 feet deep. The
mine is said to be looking well. The
values are as hign as ever, and the
ledge is still about eight feet wide.
The Butte & Boston shaft is going
down at the rate of IS inches per day
and has reached depth of lis feet
The mine is finely equipped and the
work is done in the best manner. II
will have to be sunk as much deeper
before the ledge is cut. In the old
shaft the ore was remarkably rich.
The plant of the Chico compressor is
ready to run, and the superintendent is
awaiting orders to start work. The
plant is complete, and those who are
judges of machinery claim that it i:
first-class in every respect. 1t is ex
pected that the work of continuing tn,
shaft will begin some time this week
1t will take day or two TO pump thu
water out of the shaft and drifts. TIL,
shaft is 200 feet deep and there is a
least 125 feet of water in it.

REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENT
MIR. ManIey of the National Commit
tee Names n Few Candidates.

New York, April 23.-Joseph II. Man
ley, member of the national committee
from Maine, in speaking of the present
condition of republican politics in regard
to the coming vice presidential nomination,
said:
Every one is at sea 50 far as the vice
presidency is concerned and there is alb
solutely no one of the republican leaders
who can today say with certainty who
will be nominated. If Theodore Roosevelt
had accepted the nomination it would
have been rendered him with practical
unanimity. But since he has declined to
allow his name to be considered the party
ought not to force him further.
Cornelius Bliss also would have been
an ideal candidate His able sdministra-
ton of the department of the interior has
given him great strength throughout the
west, in which part OF the country he is
very popular.
New England can present many can
didates who would be acceptable to the
country and who would ably fill this high
office, but it would be of no political add
vantage to nominate a man from New
England. If, however, the vice presidency
should go to this part OF the country,
Secretary of the Navy Long is the man
around whom the delegates will rally.
IF the vice presidential nomination is
not to go to New York, however, every
thing seems now to point to the candidate
coming from the northwest and if the
right man should be selected from that
section it will greatly strengthen the tick
ct. Senator Spooner of Wisconsin would
undoubtedly sweep the northwestern
states if he would only consent to the use
of his name.
Senator Wolcott of Colorado has also
been mentioned for the vice presidency
and if he should be nominated he would
add great strength to the ticket in the
silver states. Ex-senator Washburn OF
Minnesota would also be an admirable
candidate. He has the benefit of having
been born in Maine and of being a mem
Der of one of the most famous and dis
tinguished of our great American fam
lilies. Washburn has served his country
well in the United States senate.
'There is a wealth of material for this
great position in almost every part OF
our country and for that reason it is the
more remarkable that as yet there is only
one candidate who is openly seeking the
office. The convention is less than 60 days
off with no concentration as yet on any
candidate and from all appearances there
will be none until the convention meets. .

BOer Guns SiIenced.

Bloemfontein, April 23.-Continuing
their march, Generals Chermiside and
Rumble came into contact with the Beers
near Dewet's Dorp. The fighting contin-
ued until dark and was principally carried
on by the artillery, which temporarily 81
fenced two of the Boer guns. The British
guns command the hills for miles around
The Beers are reported to hold strong po-
sitons' but are probably retiring. The
casualties on the British side were slight
