ITfirinnr flood I'nnllng llrtwrcn Nntlrei nml Aliii-rlriioa I.niiapiilii;. Ponco, I'uorto Itico, April 14, At no lime siuco the liurrlciino of August 8 last, has tho condition of tho poor of Puerto Itico been as bad as it is today. About U5 per cent of tho island may bo placed iu tho peon class, which is made up of a mixture of nil races. In tho other 6 per cent aro included the well-to-do, educated people, such as mer chants, planters and professional men and their families. This better class is aid a to pass through such times as aro now prevail ing without actual physical suffering, but their business affairs aro at a stand, still, and have been for a long timo, and this deprives tho majority of tho large laboring class of a means of live lihood. This largo body of laboring people furnishes tho. very cheap and effectivo labor which is needed for agriculture and other work, but at all times they have been in an under fed and tioorly nourished condition. Tlioir hardships bavo been greatly added to by the scarcity of fruit since tho hurricano, and it is consequently Increased iu prico. Salt fish, rico and beans havo been imported freo of duty since tho hurricano, but littlo of tho bonoflt derivod from this has gone to Iieons, and now, when there is a pros poet of 15 per cent of tho Dingley tariff being placed on these articles, tho prico has been greatly advanced. Merchants hesitato to import lagro stocks because of tho prospect of freo trade, and tho present scarcity of fruit is also a cause for tlio advanco in prices. Kico has gone up from 5 to 0 centavos 'a pound to 8 and 0, beans from 0 to 12, and, nt ono timo, n fow days ago, to 15 cent nvos a pound, whilo salt fish has ad vanced from 0 to about 10 centavos. No ono who understands tho situa tion hero will deny that mach of tho former good feeling between Puerto Itioans and Americans has been lost, ilesides, Americans are fewer in num ber In Puerto Itico today than at any time sinco shortly nfter tho troops first landed, nnd thoso departing havo left a long list of defunct compauies, bank rupt business, wrecked schemes and anxious creditors, who, in some cases, hold choice collections of worthless notes and checks. Not only aro Amer icans leaving tho island, but large num bers of Puerto Iticaus have gone to Venezuela, to Santo Domingo and to Cuba. Threo days ago more than 300 natives sailod for Cuba to obtain em ployment thero, and at least 1,000 sailod from this port alone during the last three months. - Much livestock is also being shipped to Cuba. The gieatest loss to Puerto Itico in this respect is in tho large car goes of magnificent cattle, which it will tako years to replace. AGAINST THE CANAL.

While Morgau's motion failed, 15 to 33, tho PhiMppino measure had a nar row escape from being displacod by the Alaskan civil codo bill, ou motion of Carter (Itop.

Washington April 14. Tho house today, aftor n spirited -debate, adopted tho resolution reported from tho insular affairs committeo to authorize tho sec- rotary of tho treasury to deslgnato do- postorics iu X'uertp Itico, Cuba and the Philippines for tho dopnsit of govern ment fuuds. By the terms of tho reso lution, it, applies to Cuba only so long as tho island shall bo occupied by tho Unitod States. An amendment to in clude tho Philippines in this provision as to Cuba, offered, as was stated, to emphasize tho desiro of the opposition not to retain tho islands, was defeated by n party voto. A senate bill which will pormit tho depondont mothers of soldiers or sailors of tho Spanish war, even though they married Confederate soldiers, to recoivo tho benefit of tho gonoral ponsiun law, was passed. Tho remainder of the day .was de voted to dobato upon a rosolution from tho lommittco on tho eloction of presi dent, vico-prosidentond representatives in congress for n constitutional amend ment ompoworing tlio legislatures of states to decido whether tho United States senators shall bo elected by tho logislaturo or directly by tho people A substitute resolution was offered by tho minority of tho committeo, which differed from tho majority reso lutions in giving tho states no option, but providing that in all states thopeo plo should voto directly for United States senators.

In tho coming census a special enu meration will bo made of the number and valuo of livestock not found on farms and ranges. Tho preparation in tho census olllco of this supplement ary schedule, calls to mind the enorm ous importance of tho livestock inter ests of tho country. Statistics of livestock hereto foro have been very incomplete, because no enumeration is made in cities and vil lages. We obtain tollable estimates of tho stook on farms and ranges, but the horses and othor animals in stroot-car, express, livery nnd other city stablos go uncounted. This defect has made trustworthy calculations about the sources of future supply and the prob ablo increase of cattle Aud sheep, whol ly impossible Tho agricultural department maka estimates of tho livo stock of tho coun try, but theso are also confined to stock on tho farms and ranges. Moreover their count is made nt a timo of the year January at which there nro but few young animals on hand. Tho cen sas enumeration will refer to Juno 1, and in consequence will include most of tho young born in 1800. Tlio ani mals will bo classified by ages, and tbo result of the Juno-enumeration will be as representative n pioturo of tho stock of tho country ns can be secured. The Gold King. Tho Gold King Mining & Milling Company, of Seattle, is a newly' Incor porated organization which the incor porators nnd stockholders are confident of bringing to tho front during the coming season. Theso properties are located in tho very heart of the Index mining district, adjoining tho Copper Vault, upon which the important strike was mado a short time since. Active work is soon to' bo commenced upon theso properties with the idea of bringing them to a producing basis as rapidly as possible. Monle Clirlato Mining. Perhaps the greatest revival in min ing and milling which Western Wash ington has experiecned in many years 'is soon to be inaugurated in the justly famous Monto Crlsto mining district, liy Juno 15 trains will be running to Monte Cristo and the many valuable properties which wero forced to sus pend operation after transportation was shut off by reason of the washout of the K. & M. C. railroad will again resume active work, with an increased .force of men. Index Waklne Up. Considerable activity is manliest in mining circles at Index, Wash. Sup plies are coming in daily for tho various ipining properties; new developments aro in progress, whilo workings that wero closed on account of the approach of winter last year are starting up again, or preparing to start. Many a cabin, throughout the various camps, that has presented n deserted nnd lone somo nppenranco for four months past now exhibits signs of life; smoko is issuing from tho pipe in tbo roof; a dog sits at one entrance; some one is chop ping wood nearby or repairing or en larging tho log structure. A now tent shows ou Eome hitherto untenanted hill side, while a curl of bluo smoko aris ing from tho vicinity betrays tho pres ence of n camp fire. Tiny specks of light can be distinguished, again in the bills on cither hand as one travels over tho Skykomish valloy trail by night; the tide of travel is increasing, while pack animals are again in demand; in fact, everything tells of tho return of spriug iu this growing copper camp.

Corn and oats havo sympathized with tho reaction iu pork products, which reaction, however, has not been uni versal, as shown by tho fact that lard is at tho highest point reached on the present boom. Kvidoncoa accumulate that nctlvo missionary work in favor of lower prices for iron aud steel is at last bear ing fruit. Tho strength of raw sugar is a reflec tion chiefly of the fact that a consider able shortage is looked for in tho sup plies of cane sugar, not only in Cuba, but in the far East.

On tha other hand, while tho mills aro active on old orders, new business is reported of smaller volume.
