will do will be to ratify the Hay
Paunoefote treaty and pass a Nica?

decides tbe Porto Rioan act unconsti?
tutional, then tbe republicans will

this session of congress will have to
pass some kind of a bill for tbe gov

tbe new appointmenta under tbe last

The reception of tbe proposition
advanced by tbe radical republicana
to reduce the representation of the
sootbero states which have restricted
negro suffrage, has been of such
general condemnation that it has
been abandoned for tbe preaeot sea
aioo and will not figure in tbe reap
portiooment bill whjch will doubt

bot some of its advocates hint their
iotention to try to get tbe question

"They ere buried oo tbe battle
