explained the necessity which, he said,
existed for the passage, of such meas

several Senators who said that sufficient
time had not been allowed for looking
into the merits of the measure Mr.. Tel
Ter criticised that feature relating to the
transfer of the geological survey, while
Mr. Hale said that the bill provided for
a department which ultimately would
be one of the largest in the government.
The bill finally went over subject to call

Ing department of commerce was taken
up.
Mr. Nelson took the floor and said that
the agricultural interests of the country
are very well taken care of by the de-
partment of agriculture. but the other
great industries are without any direct
government guidance or assistance The
great problem, he said, was to secure
an hold greater and more extensive mar
kets abroad. Without department of
commerce we not only would be on in
equality with our industrial and CONNER
cial rivals, but at a great disadvantage
Mr. Teller asked upon what theory the
bill sought to transfer from the interior
department. the geological survey etc.
Mr. Nelson explained that the duties
OF the geological survey were principally
the investigation of the mineral resources
of the United States. Mr.. Nelson paid a
glowing tribute to Mr.. Telers ability as
secretary of the interior. but Mr. Teller
said he was more interested in decent
bill than in his own fame and that he
would not consent to any provision for
the establishment of a mining bureau
which would take from the interior de-
partment any work in which 1T is new
engaged
Mr.. Nelson said that the mining in
dustry OF the United States was of great
Importance as much so as our great
AGRICULTURAL interests.
Mr.. Teller insisted that as in all prob
ability the department would grow to be
bigger than any other we now have, the
bill should not be put through hurried

Mr.. Lodge OF Massachusetts said he
did not think that consular representa-

DISCUSSING CODES.
Porto Rican Legislators Interested In
New Legal System.

New York, January ia. Rowe chair
man of the revision committee of Porto
Rico, arrived today from San Juan on the
steamship Ponce. The codes prepared
by this commission are being made the
main subject of discussion at the session
of the legislative assembly of Porto Rico,
which opened on the first of January.
Speaking of the work of the session Mr..
Rowe said: 1.-THE attitude of the legisla-
tive assembly towards the code submit
ted by the committee demonstrates the
widespread desire to secure as much as
possible the full Senefit of American in
situations.
The Foraker act continued in force all
the Spanish laws until amended or re-
pealed by the local assembly. This work
of amendment has been taken up with
great earnestness. The codes with which
the legislative assembly is now consid-
ering will bring the legal system of Por-
to Rico into close harmony with the gen.
eral principles of law prevailing in the
states and territories of the Union and
will to that extent encourage the influx
of American capital to the island.
THE feeling of buoyancy which now
prevails throughout Porto Rico stands in
marked contrast with the depression of
two years ago.
THE Improvement of the credit of the
municipalities as shown by the San Juan
loan will enable the city and towns to
undertake much needed improvements in
drainage, water supply and sanitation. A
final element of strength is added to the
situation by the fact that both political
parties have come to the support of the
administration. At the banquet recently
rendered Governor Hunt the leaders of
both parties pledged their support in the
efforts of the advancement of the COM
mon interests of the island.'

The question of the exchange of passes
by railroad men continues to be discuss
ed throughout the country The latest
interview is from Mr.. C. w. Bullen, chair
man of the executive committee of the
Trunk Line Association, who makes by
authority of the executive officers of
the Trunk Lines. the following state
ment.
THE exchange of passes between rail-
roads which began many years since in
very limited way has grown to such
proportions as to have entirely outrun
its original purposes and had become so
burdensome and unavoidable, that at
sundry conferences of the Trunk Line
presidents, continued from time to time
during the past year, material reforms
in the matter had been unanimously
advocated, and at a final conference
held shortly before January l. 1902. IT
was unanimously and harmoniously
agreed between them, that exchanges of
passes with other transportation COM
panies, should be discontinued after De-
cember 81, 1901.
This agreement has gone into effect
and is being fully kept by all of the
parties thereto, the impression that has
been widely circulated that 1t was spe-
cially advocated or instigated by, or that
any particular trunk line president is re-
sponsible for the inception OF construction
of the agreement or of any of its terms
is without the slightest foundation in
fact"
