THE FIFTY SIXTH CONGRESS.

The F1fty-sixth Congress has passed
into history It's principal enactments
were:
Amendment of the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty making it clear the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty is abrogated and giving this
country the right to fortify the canal.
The currency law, at is first session,
which placed the country on a gold
basis.
The Spooner bill, vestlng the govern
mental powers in the Philippines in the
President, but providing that all fran
chises granted can be amended, altered
or totally repealed by Congress.
The reduction of the war revenue
by $41 900, 900 to $45, 900, 900
A territorial government for Hawaii.
The reapportionment bill, which does
not, however, change Georgia's repre-
sentation.
The army reorganization bill, increas-
ing the size of the army permanently
to 100, 900 men, if this number is, in the
judgement of the President, necessary.
Porto Rico was not the subject of any
important legislation, Congress no
doubt desiring decision from the Su-
preme Court on it's status before fur
ther action. And Cuba, too, is left
pretty much in statu quo
The removal of taxes imposed for war
purposes comes nearer home to the
people than any other measure. It
takes effect July 1. 1t repeats the tax
on bank checks, fire and life insurance
policies and proprietary medicines. It
fixes the tax on beer at ST. so per barrel,
reduces the tax on tobacco 2.40 per
pound, and removes the tax of 60 cents
per thousand placed on cigars for war
purposes, leaving this tax at So per
thousand. 1t repeats the tax on all
real estate conveyances of less than
s., 500, and for conveyances in excess
of that figure imposes a tax of 25 cents
for every $500
The most important measures fail,
ing of passag9 were the ship subsidy
bill, oleomargarine bill, Nicaragua
Canal bill and the river and harbor bill
The latter is said to have been talked
to death, but clearly its inside history
is yet to be written
The Fifty-sixth Congress is note
worthy in that it had new question:
growing out of the war with Spain tC
meet, and none of these, unless it be
the army reorganization, bill, did II
solve finally. The others it left for the
present and succeeding Congresses.

China meekly asks the Christian
powers if 1t may be excused from cut
