Porto Riean HurrIcane Reports.

Washington, June 3O.-The war de-
partment has received an interesting
report from Gen. Davis. commanding
our forces I'm Porto Rico. concerning
the great hurricane that swept over the
island last August and the conditions
resulting from the efforts Of the United
States 20 maintain the islanders
through their consequent poverty ana
suffering. Referring To the food issued
by this government TO the natives Gen.
Davis says:
THE natives have become imb@d
with the belief that the United States
is 10 supply food. rebuild their houses
and give them all the necessaries Of
life for an indefinite period IL seems
impossible to make them understand
that the aid was only intended TO tide
them over and enable them 10 recover
from the great disaster. They seem in
disposed 10 replant their crops and
when January J.. 1900 arrived (the date
which General Davis had fixed for dis
continuing food issues) the evidence Of
suffering was so great that ] was forced
TO recommend its continuance. The
amount OF food issued. however, was re-
duced as far as was compatible with
actual want, and $4,000 was appr0prl-
ated Tor Work thdt large number or
laborers might Doe employed and ef-
fectiye aid extended An aggregate OF
LOG, 600 rations daily Is now being issued
however. Should an applications be
considered favorable the issues would
amount To nearly half q million rations
each day al "a cost of $4,000,
These Issues are pauperizing the peo-
pie. instilling into their minds the idea
that they have only refuse To work to
be supported by the government In
the opinion of Governor Allen, relief
supplies should not be sent TO Porto
Rico In the future, and supplies should
bee furnished no longer 10 the larger
and more prosperous planters, but
should be given only 10 the smaller
planters and to these for only short
time longer"
Gen. Davis recommends action ac-
cording 10 these views and accordingly
the secretary Of war has directed him
10 cease the distribution Of rations
in Porto Rico on July 18th, and TO give
early notice Of this intention so that all
citizens may understand the necessity
now existing.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

For the first time since the civil
war the house has passed a measure
to pay Confederate soldiers for losses
growing out of the war. It was q
bill introduced Representative Ccx Of
Tennessee, to pay the Confederate
soldiers who surrendered at Apo
matox for the loss of horses and
other personal effects taken from
them in violation Of the terms of
Lees capitulatiOn to Gen. Grant by
which officers and men of Lees
army were allowed to retain their
baggage, side arms and horses. The
bill originally carried 5000, 900, but
the specific sum was stricken out and
the appropriation was indefinite.
The bill was passed out of its order
as a special compliment to Mr.. Cox,
who after ten years service in the
House, is to retire at the end of his
present term.
An effort in the United States Sen
ate to cut down the amount paid the
railroads for carrying the mails from
$33, $40, 900 to $50, 483, 900 failed bya
vote of II to Al. This amendment
to the postofice bill was introduced
and championed by Senator Butler Of
North Carolina.
The Committee on Library has ia
vorably reported Representative
Small's bill providing for the cree
ton of a monument at Fort Raleigh,
on Roanoke Island, N. G.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
has decided not to report on Judge
Ewart's nomination at this session.
This means that the President will
appoint a successor to Judge Ewart
after the adjournment of Congress.
The probabilities are that no appoint
ment will be made until after the
November elections.

and responsibilities of the citizen, no
public officer in State is charged with
such grave and important duties as
that of the Superintendent of Public
Schools. Our destiny as a State, in
a large measure, depends upon the
spirit, faith and labor of the public
officers, and the humble, though pre-
eminently worthy, public school
teachers of the State. It is in the
peoples Cpublic) schools of the State
that the children of the present must
get their inspiration and their in
~tellectual qualifications fitting them
for citizenship, for business, for
home, for life. In view of the
breadth and depth of the work be-
fore US and the Office, I must confess
to a hesitation in standing for the
position for which [ have been so
f~atteringly named by your body.
Our public schools should be divorced
from, and elevated above partisan
politics and factiOnal strife hence, l
cannot, consistent with my ideas of
public policy, consent to make a
campaign of the State on partisan
lines. This action would tend to
drag the public school interest of the
State into partisan strife. The po-
sition do not desire, and will not
accept if it must come to me by APP
pealing to the prejudices and pas
sions of the voters of the Common
wealth. This nomination having
been rendered with such spontaneity
and ~unanimity, 1 cannot decline.
