PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Report Of Commissioners of Interior
Of Island Shows What the Gov
eminent II Doing.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual
report of w. II. Elliott, commissioner
of the interior for Porto Rico. an
nounces substantial progress along all
governmental lines in the island. Much
attention is being paid to road-build-
ing and bridge construction, in or
der to assure to labor the means of
reaching the markets with the prod
ncts of the soil. The Porto Ricans
are being instructed what to plant
and how to cultivate most econom-
ically and profitably. Sanitary rules
and regulations have been introduced
and the people encouraged in habits
OF cleanliness and correct living, and
also assisted in matters affecting
trade and commerce at home and
abroad. Concerning public lands, the
report says the various departments
OF the federal government will be
asked to make known their wishes
concerning properties at present oc-
cupied by or needed for their accom-
mediation. The bulk of the property
involved comprises lands of little pres
ent value, but which may if the island
continues to develop and prosper as
conditions now prevailing warrant
the hope, become salable. They need
to be located and their boundaries de-
termined. Tt is hoped that all uugs-
tiuns be settled and presidential Hr-
tion secured in time for the legisIa-
tive assembly of Porto Rico to pro-
vide for the disposition of island prop
erty at the session to be held during
january and Fsbrusrya 1900,

Paris, Nov. 26.-In spite of the rigid
secrecy which has been maintained by
the officials and by the commission OF
American doctors concerning the re-
suit of the autopsy conducted by the
latter on the body of Mrs. Ellen Gore,
it is learned from an authoritative
source that the doctors tend individu-
ally to the acceptance of the theory
OF an accident, and the proba bilities
are that their official report will
strongly incline to that theory, if it
does not positively assert it, thus
bringing the French and American
doctors into agreement and relieving

Important Decisions.

Indianapolis, Nov. 2e.-The supreme
court has decided that the act of 1899,
by which employers are required to
pay wages every week, and all assign
ments of future wages are declared
void is constitutional and valid, at least
as to the latter provision. The same
court also held that the law against
"pluck me" stores passed by the legis-
lature of 1901 is invalid. 1t prohibits
the assignment of wages that have al
ready been earned in exchange for
tokens payable otherwise than in law
