CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. ! i'hc Porto Riccn Question Discussed in i The House. SEX AT E. Fifty-Sixth Day. An effort is to 1>?

Mr. Penrose, of Pennsylvania, gave notice that he ( would call up t'he case. As it is a privileged question ho may he able to so- i cure a vote cn the taking up of the | ease far consideration and thus develop the Quay strength in the Senate at leas: approximately. .Mr. Morgan objected to making those positions political footballs. He was interrupted by Mr. Tillman, who ; wanted to know how many registered I voters there were in Hawaii at the ? 7t- ~ ftkfta nnn I present lime, ne ui iu^m auuui. composed largely of Americans, Germans and other white foreigners. .Mr. Cullom interjected the information that in 1890 the voters numbered about 11,000. Fifty-Seventh Day. When the Senate convened all the galleries werA crowded and many people vainly sought admission from the corridors. It was a splendid compliment to Senator Foraker, of Ohio, whose selection to read the Washington farewell ad| dress, in accordance with the annual I custom, hal been announced.

Fifty-Sixth Day.?For the Tim time I in the deoate upon the Puerto R'iean tariff bill the voice of a Republican i was raised against the measure. Mr. i Brctmvell. Ohio, spoke again;t the bill, but opposed it 011 the* ground of policy and not of constitutionality. His hostility. however, was not so absolute but that he announced his intention of ! voting for it if the substitute failed. The other speakers were Mr. Ray, New York, and Mr. Long. Kansas, for . the bill, and Mr. Henry, Texas, against 1 it. The Republicans have decided to hold a caucus or conference 0:1 the hill Saturday night. Although there are said to be oeiwecn 30 and 30 Republicans hostile to v>? mf.it.in> the Ren noli can leaders I who are canvassing the situation say : that not more than four or five will cast their votes against it. They also say several Democrats will support it. I The only Democrat who is outspoken ' in his advocacy 01* the bill is Mr. Daj vey. Louisiana. Messrs. Meir and Broussard, IxmisKi.'ty Seventh Lvay. The debate on ! the Porto Riean Tariff Bill brought out several notable speeches in t.ie Mouse, including one by General Gresvenor, of Ohio, who answered a nnmof questions as to t'he attitude of the President; another by Representative , Moody, another Massachusetts Repubi li -an. who sharply criticised the posi' tion of his colleague. Mr. Mc-Clelan (X. V.?, and Mr. Brantley (Ga.L atso spoke against the bill, and Mr. Parker (X. J.), in support of it. The debate was continued at a nigh: scs si on. Mr. MvClellan (X.

Mr. McOl'an argued at some Tngth th.u rhe inhabitants o: rorio Kva are citizens of the United States, with all the constitutional rights of irizens, and that the Constitution exr nils proprio vigore over the island of Pir.o Rico, the United States only I leiiling it in trust, for ihe State evenri^illv to be erected out of the territory.

The debate brought out a speech by Representative Tawney. of Minnesota, scoring Mr. battlefield, of Maine, for his speech of yesterday, and ah-o two speeches from the Republican side by Mr. Tompkins. of New York, and Mr. Powers, of Vermont, opposing the bill.

Few lives in this world are watched witn such care as Queen Victoria's, and those of the members of the royal family. This is an old saying, but it i? particularly true in the case of what might be called automobilism. which as yet is only a hobby in England. Still 1 steps have just been taken to protect her majesty from any danger while driving through the use of automobiles. All the horses in the royal stable l\ave been dri.led in the presence of an automobile. The horses in the three stable yards at Windsor were fiivt lori ;ind then driven around a sta tionarv car. Then the car was propelled around the horses. Finally the car was moved between the horses in a dangerous way as they stood near each other. The automobilist finally made the car as objectionable as possible. The horses were very amenable, as they had already been schooled to j such noises as the playing of bands, the noise of cannon and railroad trains and the cheering of crowds. The best br?>d horses proved to be the least sen! sitive to the novelty, a pure bred \rab stallion showing the least concern of all. New York Sun. The Frcsn Second Lieutenant.

So for as I have been able to ascertain, the causes of suicide in China are not. as in Europe, profound melancholia. heavy losses, or disappointment in love, hut chiefly revenue, and the desire to inflict serious injury on another. Suicide enables a Chinese to take a truly terrible revenge, for he believes that his spirit will malignantly haunt and injure the living: and in most cases, not from humanity, but from the hope of averting such a direful catastrophe. If a master offends his servant or makes liini "lose face"' or a shopkeeper his assistaiu or apprentice, the surest revenge is to die on the premises, for it not only Involves the power"of haunting and of inflicting daily injuries, but renders it necessary that the body should lie where death occurs until an official inquiry is made. ?- _t. 1 -* tlm liftlKA tliA UP.Hl.
