I'lilllpiilnrn nnit Culm. Tho Philippines and Cuba havo occupied much attention In tho way of debate and the adoption of Institutions of Inquiry. The Spooncr bill, providing that when nil Insur rection agalngt. the authority of tho United States shall be nt'an end then all military. civil and Judicial powers shall, unless other wise provided by congress, bo carried on un der tho direction of tho president, formed the idlshod during tho last six months. It has been a busy congress, lite Dustesi, accoru Ing to veteran olllclals, In many years. In some respects tho work has ,been lc3s ex citing than that of tho preceding congress, which covered tho dramatic period when -war was declared against Spain, and also tho period of reconstruction and treaty-making; with Spain following tho successful closo of tho war. Hut In work actually ac complished and started townrd accomplish ment tho record of tho present session stands well In comparison with the most energetic congresses. Our new territorial possessions have re ceived much attention, and whllo there has legislation as to Cuba Is of n comparatively minor character, relating to Cuban shipping. Tho extradition bill, applying to all In sular prssesslons and dependencies, h?s passed both houses and doubtless will be comon law. It Is designed mainly to rsaeh cnienJIkc that of Charle3 V, W. Necly. Tho Nlcaraguan canal bill nnd the ship ping subsidy bill arc notable Instances of legislation partly advanced during tho pres cnt session, but not enacted Into law. Tho canal bill has parsed the house nnd has been made the special order In tho senate legln nlng December 10 next. The shipping bill Is on tho calendar of each house with favor ablo recommendation from a majority mem- been no definite nctlon as to tho Philippines ' bcrshlp of tho senate nnd house committees or Cuba, a form of government and a means . Anti-trust legislation has come prom pt raising revenue has been provided for Jorto Itlco and n comprehensive territorial Jirin of government has been given to Ha .Jrnll. Tho financial net has made Important lnently Into attention In tho house at the closo of tho session, the house having paed a new anti-trust hill nnd defeated a constitutional eimcndment. Tho senate has chnnges In the laws relating to tho parity J passed a bill for a cablo to tho Philippines of metals, tho bonded lndobtcdne3, national banks nnd tho security of tho treasury oy a gold reserve. Tho Nlcnrnguan canal bllt has passed the house and Is on tbo calendar of tho senate ready for attention when con gress reconvenes. Tho nntl-trust bill Is' similarly advanced, tho untl-truit consti tutional amendment has a defeat recorded against It. Tho Pacific cable measure has pawied the senato and la awaiting final ac tion In tho house. Ths expulsion of Ilrlgham H. Roberts from a Beat In tho houso because of his polygamous status, the refusal of tho senato to admit Mr. Quay on tho appointment of tho governor of Pennsylvania and tho sen sational charges, Investigation and develop ment In thu senato In tho case of Mr. Clark of Montana havo added some exciting per sonal phases to tbo session. Investigations have been prolific, Including tho Inquiry into the Cocur d'Alcno mining riots In Idaho, tho various Inquiries on polygamy growing out of tho Roberts case and more recently the senate Investigation of tho postal and other Irregularities In Cuba. Tho total of appropriations cannot yet bo stated with exactness, ns flvo bills nro pend ing, but It Is approximately $700,000,000 for the session. Trrnlle Ilrforf Sennte. The senate In executive session has been occupied to n eonslderablo extent with im portant treaties. Of theso the treaties with Great Britain nnd Germany closing tho trlparlte government In Samoa and award ing to tho United States tho Island of Tututla with Its valuable harbor of Pago-Pago, has boon ratified, while the commercial reci procity treaties with Franco and the British West Indian Islands and tho Hny-Pauncc-Xote treaty concerning the lnteroccanlc canal go over without action. Of tho legislation actually accomplished and now on tbo statute books the finuticlal act is regarded as tho chief achievement of it he year. Tho notoworthy feature of the debnto'on this moasuro in the houso was that party linos wcro broken to some extent, a number of democratic members from the eastern and New England states Joining with tbo majority In passing It. In the senato, also, party lines wero not entirely regarded, Senators Lindsay and Caffery vot ing for tho measuro and Senator Chandler against it. As It bocante n law by tho presi dent's signature, on March 14, It makes specific the declaration of the gold stnndard, provide a treasury reserve of $130,000,000, establishes a division of Issue and redemp tion of, tho treasury, provides for the re demption and reissue of Interest bearing (bonds of tho United States nnd makes now regulations as to national banks, their circu lation, establishment In small communities and tho tax they pay. Tho not also con tains a specific declaration that Its pro visions "nro not Intended to preclude the nccompllshment of international bimetal - llsm." Action nn Porto Itlco. Porto Illcan-legislation has been tho most fruitful themo of controversy In and out of congress during tho session. Tho discussion first turned on tho revenuo bill, levying a duty of 1G per cent of the Dlngley rate on Torto Itlcan goods. The majority of the ways and means commltteo urged tho con- ' stttutlonallty nnd necessity of this course, while tho minority, reinforced by McCall of Massachusetts, a nicmbor of the majority, maintained that tho constitution of tho United Stntos extended to Porto Klco and ' that congress was Inaugurating a dangerous precedent by giving tho Island any other Jw than that of tho rest of tho country. Excitement ran high under tho spur of wide spread public attention. Tho dobato In the houso wn signalized by tho division of the majority, which for a tlmo made tho rosult doubtful, but the 1)111 ultimately paFsed. Tho contest In tho senato was animated but loss ncuto, the senato changing tho cntlro scope of tho measuro by adding a complete form of civil government. In this form, raising rovonuo and establishing nn Island government, tho measuro ibccamo a law. Subsequently, it was amended so as to limit corporate franchises and on tho president's recommendation an net was parsed Bottlng aside for tho use of Porto Itlco the J2.0S5.4Ti5 collected from tho island sources since Its ' acquisition, Noxt In importnnco In the accomplished "work of tho session Is tho net to "provide , tor n government of the torrltory of Hn- wail." The deibiites on It In the senate and houso aroused little division, savo on matters , of detail. Tho act provides a system of government much like that for territories, with a governor appointed oy tho president, a legislature of two houses, franchise rights and beyond, to bo constructed nnd main tained under government control, but no action has been taken on It In the house Hill nn OleiiiiinrKiirlnc. Tho restriction of oleomargarine has been productlvo of considerable agitation, mainly In committees, nnd a radical restrictive bill has been reported to tbo houso Tho general pension laws have been ma terially changed by the presont congress, largely as a result of tho efforts of the Grand Army of the Republic, which secured tho passage of a bill amending the law of June 27, 18t0, so as to permit tho "aggro gating" of disabilities nnd changing tho pro vision as to widows so that a widow may recclvo a pension while she is "without means of support other than her dally labor and has an actual net lncoino not exceeding 250," etc Tho "freo homes" act has at lost become a law. It provides for tho patenting of homesteads on tho public lands acquired from tho Indians on tho payment jof the usual fees and no other or further charges. This opens to free homcstend entry inany mil lions of acres of public lands In tho west, heretofore sold at stated figures per acre. Another measure passed, of some gsnoral Interest, permits the secretary of agricul ture to restoro gamo birds which are be coming extinct nnd provides means for the restriction of traffic In dead animals, birds, otc, from state to Btate, the latter provi sion being In part designed to limit tho de structlon of Bong birds for the sale of their plumage. Among other miscellaneous nets of tho session aro those for the preservation of tho historic frigate Constitution and for extending the work of the twelfth census, tAiiroprliitloti Illlln 1'rnriltiK. Considerable general legislation Is carried on appropriation bills. Theso provisions In clude the amendment to, the military acad emy bill, making tho commanding general of the army a lieutenant general and tho ad jutant general of the army a major gen ertfl; nlstTtho umendment to tho sundry civil bill appropriating $5,000,000 for tho St. Louis exposition. Doth of theso tills nro still pending. Tho naval appropriation bill adds two battleships, throo armored cruisers, thrco protected cruisers and five submarine boats to tho naval strength and may Include special legislation as to armor plato and a government plant. The other appropriation bills In the main carry tho usual govern ment supplies. Tho AlaBkn code bill, giving a complete civil system of laws to the territory, has passed both houses and undoubtedly will become a law. Other measures which havo passed ono houso or tho other but nre still pending, Including those for tho election of senators by tho people, authorizing the pres ident to appoint n commission to study com mercial conditions In China and Japan; for lncrenslng the efficiency of the nrmy by making service In tho staff corps temporary; extending tho eight hour lnw; Increasing tho annual allowance to the militia of tho country from $400,000 to $1,000,000.

Conference re ports on appropriation and other hills prom ise to occupy tho attention of tho houso, to tho exclusion of everything else during the closing days of tho session. Only one piece of general legislation seriously threatens tho program tho Grout oleomargarine bill. The friends of this measure havo Itecn very In sistent nnd havo threatened, In case the senate does not agree to the resolution for final adjournment on Wednesday, to hold up nny amended resolution until they can have an opportunity to voto on their bill. A way out of tho difficulty was suggested yesterday which may bo put Into operation tomorrow. Tomorrow being suspension day, Tawney may be recognized to move that nn hour on Tuesday bo given to tho oleo mnrgarlno bill, As this motion will require n two-thirds vote, the powers that be nre willing that the measure bo considered If It can command such nn overwhelming ma jority of the house. Thero are a consider able number of disputed Items In the ap propriation bills which the houso probably will settle by direct yototho appropriation of $5,000,000 for 'the St. Louis exposition and some lets Important Items which the senato placed In tho sundry civil bill; the armor plato provision and tho paragraphs relative to ocean and like surveys and the abolition of tho sea courso for naval cadets In tho naval appropriation bill and the Miles Corbln amendment to the military academy bill. In the houso there Is nothing on the horizon which threatens to prevent final adjournment on Wednesday. Thero Is now hardly any doubt that the senate will agree to tho house resolution to adjourn the .session next Wednesday, The passage of the last of tho appropriation bills, which was 'accomplished Saturday, leaves no obstacle In tho way of the final adjournment COUPON The Bee Pnbltihlna- Co.

How Can Yoii Expect to Feel Well If Your Kidneys Are Not Right ? till Avoid the Deadly Results of Kidney Disease. The Symptoms Tho Kidneys and Bladder are the places of moat distressing diseases and symptons, bucIi as a stone in the bladder, diabetes, Uright's disease, inflamed kidneys and blad der, .painful aiid frequent urination, pains in tho back and loins, sudden flashes of heat, alternating with chilly sensations, swelling of tho limbs, frequent headnoho, fits of stu porand melancholy, shortness of breath, etc. To be sure, all of these symptons are not found in every case, nor is it likely that more than a few will show themselves even in a serious case, but the end is about tho same, viz : A gradual increase of the urates in the system until towards the end the uric acid is changed to uraemic acid tho blood becomes surcharged with it and uraemic poisoning comes on, followed by death. The Cause The Kidneys are tho blood filters of the system. All the blood in the body passes through aud is filtered by right-acting kid neys every three minutes. The heart is tho blood pump; tho kidneys divide tho good from tho bad. If tlioy do not filter out tho impurities the latter remain in Hie blood and cause sickness, suffering and death. In drawing away tho superfluous water from tho body, thero aro brought with it, mostly in solution, urates and various salts, such as chloride, etc. Tho retention of any of theso substances in the blood may lead to serious ailments, accompanied with most painful symptoms therefore tho necessity of keeping the grsat purifying organs in perfect con dition is apparent. If they aro in sound, good order, health is the result; if they have become disordered from any cause then sick ness and ill-health will follow. You can pre" vent all this by using nature's own remedy THB CURB Good health is the most priceless jewel in our crown of happiness. The only way to qet health and keep well is to keep your kidneys well.

Picture of the Untile. LONDON, Juno 4. The Dally Telegraph has tho following frora Senejtal, dated May 29: The (scene during tho battle was wonder fully picturesque. Rolling billows of smoke rose higher than tho highest kopje, obscur ing the combatants. The roar of artillery and the crnck of musketry, under tho llatnes of tho burtng veldt, combined to produce a picture of nppalllng, grandeur, but terrible for those engaged within its field.

While In Hong Kong the comoilssloner questioned Armncho and members of the wealthy Cortuz family regarding Filipino af fairs not covered by the Filipino Junta thero, The Filipinos in Manila nre anxiously and even nervously waiting for a formal state ment by the commission regarding Its future policy. Everything tho comnfls9loneis fay or do Is carefully considered. Cabhs ftom Hong Kong havo been published here to th effect that the commission will not assume control until Septraibor. This report, coupled vith tho statement that Washington ap proves General MacArthur's plan of cam paign, has created considerable excitement In Filipino circles, whero It has been ex pected that Immediate changes of policy nnd nctlon would follow tho arrival of the com mission.
