MOST REMARKABLE RECORD; Republicans Have Redeemed .Every Pledje Made by Them la IS94 -Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska Laws Letts lativc Masterpieces. BROOKLYN. N. Y.. June 13. The Brok!yn Standard-Union publishes fr:m the pen of Albert Halstead. a remarkably comprehensive nummary of vhat was accomplished by congress during the session Just closed. It is as follows: "Washington, June 9. The record of the first session of the Fifty-sixth congress Is not a bad one. Ore of the most Important pieces of legisla tion enacted by It was the financial bill, which wrote gold on the statute books In Indelible Ink. That law also gave small communities national bank fa cilities, provided a gold reserve and separated It from the general funds of the treasury, and 'provided for the re demption of government bonds so that the Kovernment has already saved a number of millions In Interest. It also TncreasTI"the "H&tfonal bank circula tion by permitting national banks to Issue, to the par value of tki- bonds deposited to secure circulation. It Is a law which has strengthened the finances of the government and estab lished our finances on a solid gold bas!s. If this congress had done noth ing else It would deserve public com mendation. "When the Puerto Rican bill was vnder consideration much criticism was made of the republican majority be cause It Insisted upon Imposing duties of fifteen per cent of the Dingley rates on importations from the United States to Puerto Rico, with the exception of a rather large free list, which Included articles of the greatest necessity to the Puerto Ricans, and the same rates on Puerto Rican products entering the United States. Experience seems to have demonstrated that congress was wise In imposing such duties, Instead of providing free trade with that de pendency of ours- The duties are found to be so small as not to ham per trade, and at the same time they provide ample revenue for Puerto Rico's needs, every dollar collected being turned Into the Puerto Rican treasury, until the Puerto Rican legislature pro vides some other means of raising revenue. The Puerto Rican law also gave Puerto Rico a civil government, and In tha appointment of officials the rights of the Puerto Ricans to repre sentation have not been disregarded. Thus Puerto Rico gets ample revenue, has preference in entering the Ameri can market, and is relieved from the military rule that was at first nec essary. "The present congress has also giv en Hawaii an excellent civil govern ment and a delegate In congress and in . the appointment of territorial of ficials the residents of the territory have not ben overlooked. "Alaska ban been given a Judicial code and enough JudgJs and court offi cials to meet her needs. The code Is of the greatest importance to our ter ritory and will be of the greatest bene fit to the people of Alaska. "A law has been enacted covering such cases as that of Xeely. of Indi ana, who embezzled Cuban funds. It applies the extradition laws to Puerto Rico. Cuba and the Philippines, regu lating the mode of procedure. Under this law any American who is guilty of malfeasance or mlsfea-sance in ofllce In any of our dependencies can be car ried th"re for trial. ' "A pension bill, drawn by the Grand Army of the Republic, has been passed which permits the aggregation of dis abilities. Under its provisions the man who is suffering from disabilities and rheumatism incurred In the service can draw a pension for each disability, In stead of. as formerly, being permitted to be pensioned for one disability. This In especially bad cases will materially 2r r.-.is f.'.l ecl.ilcrs' pensions. "The navy will be increased in ac cordance with the demands of the Na tion that the United States maintain a modern and effective navy of sufficient i to meet all the necessities of the 10c Black Ribbed 17 to 25c 7 to 10 on the Lower Columbia. Nation, The corrs of cadets at West Tolnt Is Increased by one hundred so as to provide more trained officers for the army instead of having ihem taken in such large numbers rrom civil life. "A free homestead bill is now a law. This brings under the homestead laws some forty million acres of public land purchased from the Indians since 1SSJ, opening them to public settlement and giving the people seeking homesteads the opportunity to secure them upon proper conditions. Through the efforts of the late Repres?ntatlve Holman. the homestead policy not applicable to lands secured since 1S93, the act with this effect having been passed by the Fifty-third congress, millions cf acres thus not being open to settlers. "Upon the law making appropriations for the agricultural department was placed a provision authorising and making appropriation for the inspec tion of domestic fruits intended for ex port, the Inspection to be made at the port of departure. This law promises to protect shippers of fruits from the unfair Inspections of foreign officials who deliberately simulate the discovery of the San Jose scale or some other disease in American 'ruits when they arrive abroad. The Inspection in the United States prior to exportation will serve as a very useful check upon the foreign Inspections and show if foreign nations are making their alleged in spections the excuse for excluding American fruits. "These are a few of the Important pieces of leglslatin enacted at the first session of the present congress. To be sure, some important measures have gone over to the next session. The Nlearaguan canal bill Is, perhaps, the most Important, but it has been set for consideration in the senate on the sec ond Monday in December, the 10th, and as It has already passed the house, it is almost as good as passed. The Oleomargarine bill was not acted upon, but it will be one of the first things to be considered by the house when congress reassembles In December, a date for its consideration having been fixed. The shipping subsidy bill was not passed by either house. ' An effort will be made to pass It next session, but In view of the little time remaining it is Improbable that anything can be done. The Spencer bill, giving the pres ident authority to administer the Phil ippines until congress legislates for their government, the bill to become effective after the Philippine insur rection has been supressed, was not passed. It may be next tesslon. The bill reorganizing the staff of the army and the artillery branch, though it passed the house, did not pass the sen ate. This will be taken up early next session, but as provision will then have to be made for increasing the regular army after the volunteers are muster ed out, on July 1, 1901, it Is probable that that bill will be reincorporated in the army reorganization bill that must b considered next session. The anti trust bili will come up in the senate next session for action. "Taken as a whole, the first session of the Fifty-sixth congress gives a very excellent record. It will compare very favorably with the work of simi lar sessions, and those who have watch ed congressional sessions for years, state that far more work has been done than usual. "The republicans claim that in the present congress and In the one pre ceding, practically every pledge made to the people In the platform of 1899 has been faithfully carried out, and the record seems to Justify that claim." TRANSPORTATION TRUST. Combination Between Companies Doing Business Between Northwest and Alaska. SEATTLE, June 19.-The Post-Intel-Hgencer publishes the following story concerning the formation of a gigantic combination of transportation Interests to control the business in the North west and Alaska: A strong combination of transporta tion companies doing business in Alas ka and the Northwest Territory has been formed. The White Pass & Yukon Railway Company has practically ab sorbed the Canadian Development Com pany and the John Irving Navigation Company. The management of the three big companies has been brought under one control, which will be from general headquarters at Skagway. Publication has been authorized of the fact that the steamers, the assets, the wharf interests at Atlln and the Taku tramway, owned and operated heretofore under the name and manage ment of the John Irving Navigation Company, limited, have been purchas ed by a company composed of R. T. Elliott, manager of the Canadian De velopment Company; E. C. Hawkins, general manager, John Hislop, assist ant chief engineer, and J. P. Roger, superintendent of the White rasa A Yukon route. Under orders Issued by the new com unv R. T. Elliott assumed the man agement on Jnne 14, of the properties acquired from the John Irving :savi ntion Company, in addition to the general management of the affairs of the Canadian Development lempany. The acquirement of the John Irving properties by a company in which three of the four men principally Interested are officials of the White Pass road, and the placing of Mr. Elliott, of the Canadian company, in charge, means that the three concerns are now close ly allied and that the same Interests that direct the affairs of the White Tass & Yukon railroad form the con trolling Interest In the big combina tion. The new management, It Is an nounced, w ill at once improve the ser vice on the routes formerly covered by the John Irving Company, and complete the Taku railroad and in genral give to Atlln City a service equal In every way to that maintained by the Canadian Development Com pany. The new combination creates one of the strongest, most extensive and most wealthy of Northwestern transportation companies. Having river division between White Horse and Dawgon, the railroad company has extended Ita op erative department to Dawson. It is expected that the Atlln route acquire ments wilt be formed Into a similar di vision. As to the exact service to be given and the schedule of steamboat movements on the Atlln run. no of ficial Information Is yet given out. The White Pass company now has some eight or ten steamers, practically Its own. running In connection with the railroad on the Atlln and Dawson routes, and there are several other lake and river companies connecting with the road. All traffic distributed by the mad will first pass through the pateway cf Skagway and all tribu tary to that road will come to that point set-king outlet below. The new steamer which Capt. John Irving has been building at Bennett, and which Is nearly ready to run. Is not directly included In the transfer mentioned, but will be owned by the same system. That steamer, which was to have been known as the Reaper, was bought by the Canadian Development Company a fortnight ago, and will be operated under the flag of that com pany. She will be given the name of Zelandlan. RUSSIAN FORCES OPEN ATTACK ON PEKIN (Continued from First Page.) erythlng in his power to protect the lives and property of Americans In China. Heretofore this country has acted Independently, but Is now acting In concert with the powers. "The Chinese question has been dis cussed In all Its phases by the presi dent and his advisers, and they have looked far Into the future. It Is quite certain the re-convenlng of congress has ben discussed, but none of the officials here will admit It The situa tion may change at any moment, and the first advices from Pekin will un doubtedly decile whether the Immedi ate future will bring peace or war. There are two possible causes for war In the situation. One is the destruc tion of the American legation and the murdering of the American minister. The other Is the action of the com mander at Taku who ordered his men to fire on the International fleet. If his action Is sanctioned by the Pekin government, a state of war exists, but if ha acted without authority and his hostile act Is disavowed, there may be a peaceful solution of the Incident. If war exists In China, growing out of the destruction of the legations or the Taku affair, then It will be necessary to send more troops to China. Owing to prevailing conditions In the Philip pines no more troops can be withdrawn and few, if any, can be spared from I'orto Rico, Cuba or the United States. Therefore It will be necessary to call an extra session of congress to furnish troops to deal with the Chinese situa tion. If advices come from Pekin, that Minister Conser and other Americans have been murdered, there will be no other course open to the administra tion but to send a force strong enough to bring the Chinese to their senses and make the lives of Americans as safe In China as they would be in Washington. NO NEWS FROM ROBERTS. Boers Again Cut Off Telegraphic Com munication In His Rear. LONDON, June 20. The Dally Mall points out that It Is quite possible the wires have again been cut In Lord Roberts' rear as no dispatch later than June 16 has been received. The Boers are gathering In force In spite of General Bundle being near Fickeburg. His forces stretch forty miles. As some parts of the line are weakly held, the British fear that the Boerg may break through. Outpost sklrmitihes are of dally occurrence. The Eloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing June 18, says that Lord Roberts is getting huts for 80,000 men and is- arranging for a re-transport for part 'of his army, al though his plans are not to take ef fect Immediately . CALLED TO AFRICA West Indian Regiment to' Go to Fight Sofas. KINGSTON, Jamaica. June 19. A W'est Indian regiment today received orders to proceed to Cambla, western Africa, to fight the Sofas. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OPENS AT PHILADELPHIA (Continued from First Tage.) President McKlnley'a name, he could not proceed for a minute owing to the demonstration. As he rehearsed the four .years of republican administration, the good for. tune which has blessed It, the victories It had won. the glorious outcome of the Spanish-American war. the cam paign In connection with the Philip pines, which Us enemies had Inaugur ated and which It had mot. the con vention repeatedly broke Into applause. It was a key-note speech covering the legislation which had been placed on the statute books and ita note wn the prosperity of this country and the legislation which had made Its contln uatlon possible. That was the theme to which the demonstration of the con vention clung. When he staled that the democrats were driven to find new Issue in the war which they had been almost anxious to precipitate, the con ventlon rose at him. but the outburst was even greater when he declared that the division among the republicans of the East and West on the financial Is sue was a thing of the past tud that those who hail left the party four years ago In the Went were returning on the Issue of expansion. The first mention of expansion was also a signal for dem onstrntlon. , The Indiana delegation led the ap plause when Senator Wolcott announc ed that the thieving postoffle officials In Cuba would be hunted down. Frob ably the greatest demonstration oc curred when he said that we would ta tnlillsh law and oilier In the Philippines and that the Inst thing to be consider ed was to give up the Islands. The del' gates got on their feet and cheered when he said that our sons were burled In the sands of Luzon and we would never give up the soil that held our dead. He spoke an hour and ten minutes and as his brilliant peroration closed there was another enthusiastic demon stratlon of applause, the delegates standing on chairs and waving hats, umbrellas and handkerchiefs while at the same time the band played the enlivening strains of a patriotic air. The call of the roll of states, for the submission of members of the var ious committees, then began. When the list had been read. Repre sentatlve Cannon of Illinois was rec ognized to move an adjournnvnt '.111 tomorrow. Rev. Mr. Levy, whd delivered the In vocation at :he first republican con vention In this city, 44 yeara ago, to day, white-haired and feeble, delivered a benediction upon the jonvention as fallows: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father: How excellent Is Thy name In all the earih. The whole world Is full of Thy glory. Unto Thee do we lift our hearts In humility, love and praise. We give Thee most hearty thanks for our per sonal, social and intlonal blessings. Thou hast cast our lives In pleasant places and given us a goodly heritage. Thou hast not dealt so with other people. Because of Thy favor our land Is even now smiling with fertility and beauty; our clths and towns are filled with the hum of Industry and our country places with the songs of hap py reapers. Thou hast given unto us wise rulers, brave defenders of the land and the sea, and Just and equal laws by which every man may sit under his own vine and fig tre2 with none to mo lest or make htm afraid. We thank Thee for the coming to gether of this august assembly of rep resentative men from all parts of the nation, and for that great convention held In this city so long ago, and which first Hung the banner of univer sal freedom to the breeze of heaven. We praise Thee, O Lord, undlmmed, for the proud reminder of past achieve ments and the hope for all lime' to come. We thank Thee for our honored pres ident; for .his wisdom, discretion, manly courage and unblemished character, and we beseech of Thee that his life and health may be precious In Thy sight, and as Thou hast In Thy good ness given him to us, so, if it please Thee, let the hours of his administra tion of our government be prolonged. Bless those associated with him In authority. May they be ever found on the side of Justice, loving peace, but never counting life Itself too dear to sacrifice for the defense and advance ment of the nation's honor and wel fare. Save us, O righteous Father, from forgetfulness of Thee, from all pride and vainglory. Let not the profane, the self-seeking or the promoters of strife and discontent rule over us, but only such as shall be a terror to evil doers nnd a praise to them that do well. Let our currency neither be Impaired by InPation nor diminished by hoarding. Let the rich among us use their wealth with moderation and as a benediction to others. Let the poor, by Industry and temperance, become rich. Let there never be among us an aristocracy eith er of color, wealth or birth, but only of intelligence and goodness. Fill our land with truth and righteousness, with school houses and temples of worship, with God-fearing men and virtuous womert. Let the example of our free institutions enlighten and bless the whole earth. And tow, we commend to Thee, O God, the deliberations of this conven tion and all the Issues thereof. Bless the presiding officers with all suffici ency of wisdom and strength, and pre- serve all the delerte from sickness, accident and death, and permit them to return to tholr horn 'a, conscious of hav ing discharged their duty to God and their country. And the glory shall be unto the Father and unto the Son, and unto the Holy Spirit as It was in the beginning, ia now and ever ahall be, world without end. Amen. As the prayer cl.taeJ, Senator Han- na was again on his feet, and, ad justing his eye-glatses, said in a re sonnnt voice: "The secretary of the national com mittee will read the call for the con vention." Aa Colonel Dlek stepped forward, call In hand, he was given a ripple of applause. He road the formal call, and then, at exactly 3 oclvk, the conven tion adj turned .mill tomorrow. PHILADELPHIA.
