THE LAWS OF PORTO RICO.
p.nort Of the Commission Appointed to
Revise and Compile the Laws
of Forto Rico.

Washington, Marcn 0'-l he '"ii'N'
sion to revise and compile the laws Oh
Porto Rico, appointed by virtue OF an
act of April 12, 1900, has submitted us
report to the Encouragement ihe
commission consisted of Joseph f.
DAILY. of New York, and l.. 5. Rowe OF
PENNSYLVANIA, and Juan Hernanue<
Lopez. of Porto Rico. The work I'M
dertaken was the revision and com
pilation of practically all the old
Spanish laws,
The commission, after an eXhalis'
tive study of the Spanish system pro-
ceeded to make the most necessary
changes, such as the reorganization
of the judicial system and the system,
of local government, the revision Oh
the laws of marriage and divorce anu
wills and intestacies and number OF
other important branches of the ciVll
and criminal law. The most I'M
Dortant work of the commission was
the revision of the organic act OF
Porto Rico, commonly known as the
Foraker act The system of local
government proposed by the commas
sion includes a county, city and VII
lage organization. Under Spanish rule
the island was divided into G7 dlvi'
sions, known as "municipios, when
were subjected to the strictest form
of control by the central government
The mayors were appointed by the
governor general and members of the
town councils were subject to his
will, in fact, if not in law. Local SELF
government was unknown. The com
mission has taken long step in the
direction of local autonomy, but mas
placed sufficient power in the insular
government to guard against the dan
gers of local ineXperience or lncom-
petence.
Briefly stated the system leaves to
the local authorities the management
of local affairs, but prescribes a den
mite standard Of efficiency in the
most important services, such as SAM
tation, drainage. water supply, street
cleaning. etc. If the local govern
ments fail to meet these standards
the insuIar government is given suili-
cient power to meet every emergency"
The habeas corpus act is another
Of the important changes proposed
by the commission
The subject of marriage and divorce
also is fully treated. The Spanish
civil code does not recognize divorce,
although separation proceeding is
provided for. This branch of the law
has been brought into close harmony
with the system prevailing in such
states as New York and Massachu-
sets.
In the matter Of wills and intcs-
taces, the Spanish civil code leaves
but little freedom to the testator.
Here again an adaptation Of the sys-
TEN prevailing in the United States
has been made
At the expiration Of the term fixed
by congress for the presentation of
this report, the governor of Porto
Rico appointed a code commission to
continue the work of the first com
mission. The membership Of the sec
ond commission was the same as that
of the first, with the exception of
the substitution of j. NJ Keedy, of

FEELING THE TREASURY PULSE.
The Impending shipment OF Gold TO
the Orient.

Washington, March j,-Secretory
Shaw received u number Of applica-
tons from New York bankers asking
for permission TO deposit gold in the
New York Substreasury and Withdraw
equal amounts from the subtreasury
at San Francisco, Although these APP
plicNtions aggregate in amount from
$50 100000 to S600OO,OO the treasury
officials feel no uneasiness in conse-
quencc, as it is understood the actual
amount Of gold needed in San Fran
cisco will hardly exceed n total OF
S20000O00, and that the applications
in excess of this amount were made
with view to 0scertaining what the
treasury would do In case the nggre-
gate should reach the larger sum,
Secretary Shaw will grant the re-
quests for transfers so far as actual
business needs require.

nrouth .ufferers stiIl In Need.

Notwithstanding contributions OF
money and food already donated the
drouth sufferers of the northwestern
counties are still greatly in need. Inc
citizens of the afflicted territory are
among the most industrious in the
state. and their present distress is not
due to any fault of their own. In
each county affected committees COM
posed of thoroughly responsible par
ties will distribute any funds or pro
visions sent them, seeing to it that
none but those actually worthy and IN
need receive assistance.
