Havana, Cuba.-The sessions of the
Cuban Congress began when President
Palma submitted his annual message.
The message was read in the Senate,
but not i'll the House of Representa-

allowed the session to begin formally
the Conservatives, with the Bravoites;
followers Of Senior Bravo, would ap-
prove Of the disputed elections in PinaE
del Rio, Puerto Principe and Santiago,
~defrauding them of what they assert
is justly theirs.
An attempt was made to settle the
trouble, the Liberals proposing that
the members for Havana; MatanZaS
and Santa Clara should take their
seats and the rest should wait until
their credentials are examined. The
Conservatives assented, but said that
they could not vouch for the Bravoites;

able disorder. The President declared
that the electoral law is deficient and
should be changed. He abstained from
intervening in any of the disputes, be-
cause he was not empowered to do SO.
These disputes had been taken to
court, where 653 suits were now being
tried, showing that the people know
the proper republican practices.
The message says that the public
health is excellent. The number of
deaths in Havana in 1903 was the low.

started. Mr.. Earle, an American. is in

introduction of new forms of cultiva-

Since November the special loan
taxes have yielded $1,373,324 to March,
1904. The taxes will probably yield a
surplus. The interest paid on the
bonds of 1896 and 1897 amounts to
$579.209. The exports in 1903 were
valued at 1854 400. The sugar ex.

Facts About he Hair.

Red-headed people are less subject tc
badness than others. A doctor ex.
plains the matter thus: The hair of the
red-headed is relatively thick, one red
hair being almost as thick as five OF
three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is well matched, where
as with the same number of fair hairs
one is comparatively bald. 1t takes
nearly 160, 900 fair and 1O5, 900 brown
hairs to cover adequately an ordinary
head.

There is money in exhibiting por-

not know most of the originals of the
pictures. The Portrait Show recently
organized for the benefit Of the Ortho-

weeks, made $4,000 in admission
money. 1t is true that the object to be
benefited was a worthy one, but peo-
pie do not go to a show to help a hos

trait shows will be a popular form of

to interfere with the immigration of
foreigners generally, but only with the

had displaced the British laborer and
pushed the English out of dwellings
they formerly occupied, with the result
that the feeling between foreigners
