Washington, June 21.—The things congress has failed to do: It has failed to relieve Cuba, having placed the Cubans ina position where they could uot help themselves, It bas turned its back on the plan to provide forthe national defense by enacting a militia law, ° It has refused to pass a bill fora general staff of the army. It has smoothed ail the reciprocity i rnoring the late President ‘The period of exclusive- ness has passed,” It will probably go on record as being uable to agree fon a compre- hensive measure for the suppression of anarchy. It has considered’ consular reform as of no importance, It has passed no legislation for the regulation of trusts, ignoring the recommendation of the president and the industrial commission, It has set its face against tariff re- vision and tariff reform. Tt has postponed action on the bill creating the Department of Com- merce, Which passed the senate. It has not placed restrictions of any sort, other than those now in effect on European emigration. Things congress has done: Killed the Nicaragua canal bill and passed the Panama canal bill. Killed the bill for a government cable to the Philippines and decided not to interfere with the private en- terprise pledge to breaking the mo- Passed a river and harbor bill ag- gregating 70 million dollars. Passed a public building bill aggre- gating 20 million dollars. Passed an irrigation bill and com- mitted the government to the policy of reclaiming arid lands of the far west. Probably will pass some bill forthe civil government of the Philippines. Passed many thousands of special pension bills, Prohibited sale of oleomargarine as butter. Repealed all the war taxes amount- ing to about 70 million dollars. Ship subsidy bill passed by the sen- ate and killed in the house. Chinese exclusion re-enacted. Amended the bankruptey probably. Appropriatefl $360,000 for the re- modeling of the white house. Passed appropriation bills exceed- ing that of any congress at its first y bill, The session may end possibly by July 15th. They're Good Shots Out West. El Paso, Tex., June 21.—stories of two desperate fights in New Mexico are brought in by couriers from the Southwest. Mr. Harold, acity detec- tive, who had just returned from the Nescalero Apache reservations, tells ofa fight between Thomas Page, a 12-year-old boy, and six Indians who had killed his father and were looting the house. As the story goes, the lad was armed with a rifle, and, con- cealing himself behind some rocks, killed-all- of the-Indians;—It-is said the authorities have taken the lad to the reservation. From Springs, 300 miles northeast of Fl] Paso comes the story of a fight between “Bud” Lee, who claims to a girl. Born last Friday. Berry Harris is in the same spirits. Mrs. Hooper is convalescent.

The fight was with long range repeating rifles, and Lee says that he killed five of the cow- boys and put the other three to flight. Lee has surrendered to the sheriff. Paoama Wins in the Senate. Washington, June 19.—The Senate has passed the Spooner amendment to the Isthmian canal bill, accepting the Panama route, instead of the Nicaragua route. The vote was 42 to 34. Congress is now in the position of having widely divided on this subject, the House already, with only two dis- senting votes, having passed the Hepburn Nicaragua bill. The inter- esting question now is what action will the House take—will it insist on the Hepburn bill or will it recede from its position and allow the Sen- ateto dictate the form of legislation? Accepts the Proposition. Rome, June 13.—After considering the report of the committee of cardi: nals appointed to treat with Goy- ernor Taft, the pope has accepted the entire American proposition with re- gard to the Philippines, desiring only some minor chan in the form. Governor Taft and members of the mission were the guests of Rector Kennedy at luncheon at {the Ameri- can college. | WHAT CONGRESS HAS NOT DONE:!
