Washington, March 2.—Legislative activity of the fifty-eighth congress during Its short session just closing may be estimated by the fact that over 100 laws affecting the general public have been enacted, and over 1,000 pri vate acts passed. The private acts consist largely of pensions granted while a few relief measures and re moval of charges of desertion make up the remainder. The regular appropriation bills all are progressing to completion, and some of them have already received the signature at President Roosevelt. The senate has amended and ratified arbitration treaties with seven Euro pean and 16 American republics. It also has sat as a court and acquitted Charles Swayne, judge of the district court for the northern district of Flor ida, on articles of Impeachment voted by the house. In iolnt session of the two houses the electoral vote for President Roose velt was also canvassed and the off! cial announcement made of the elec tion of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. A revision of the Philippines tariff has progressed nearly to completion without indication of defeat and an act has been signed intended to do velop the resources of those islands by guaranteeing interest on capital in vested in railroad' building.and author izing, the isuance of bond for munic ipal improvements, schools and roads. The laws for Alaska has been codi fied, an additional district judge au thorized and the revenues from the ^fcquor traffic In that territory diverted the 6uport of schools, the building of roads and the care of the Insane. Legislation for the government of the Panama canal zone and regulations for the construction of the canal has been passed by both houses, but differences remain to be adjusted In conference. Two new battleships were provided for by congress in the naval appropri ation bill. The trade mark laws have been re- •riaod and an International copyright act passed. Jurisdiction of the for est reserves has been transferred from the Interior to the agricultural de partment.- Authority to make arrests for forest reserves has been granted employes as a measure of further pro tection. President Roosevelt has been authorized to set apart a portion of the Wlohlta Forest Reserve as a breeding place for game animals and birds. By resolution of the house, the d partment of commerce and labor has begun an Investigation of the oil trust. Obscene matter has been prohibited Importation and transit as interstate commerce. As a further aid in the en forcement of the Immigration laws, steamships entering United States ports are required, to furnish a com plete paFEcnger list. Captured confederate battle flags, in the possession of the war department, were ordered returned to the proper authorities of the state in which the regiment carrying the colors was or ganized. The American National Red Cross society was incorporated, as were the trustees of the grand encampment of Knight Templar of the United States. Statehood bills have passed both houses, and are in conferences. Both measures contain provision for tho ad mission of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory a9 one state. The foundation for railroad legis lation has been laid by the passage of ft bill through the house after ex haustive hearings and the beginnings of an inquiry by the senate which Is to be conducted during the recess. A halt has been called in the extrav agance with which public documents have been printed. The president has been authorized tyrant medals for heroism in the iHng of life saving department.

St. Petersburg, March .2.—Vast Lou Quantities of hand bombs are being; freigli Imported into Russia. The discovery was accidentally made by the cus toms authorities at Wirbajen, Russian Poland, on opening an ordinary fruit box marked "oranges,” which was found to contain a hundred small bombs. Scores of similar boxes have been coming in for weeks, and tho authori ties hear they are already widely dis tributed. The bombs are not of the type of those used by the terrorists. They are more like hand grenades, and it is thought possible that they were In tended for distribution among tho strikers as weapons with which to fight the troops.

The let ters appear to be authentic although several interviews on somewhat simi lar lines heretofore have been dis- erdited. On is a letter addressed to “Nicholas Romanoff, former Czar and actual assassin of of Russia,” says blood of Innocent workmen and their wives and children will forever sepa- .rate their assassin and his heirs from the Russian people. The fury of tho people has now been unloosed and it will be useless to offer them prom ises. The letter adds: "Eombs and dynamite and the tor* ror of popular Insurrection await thy offspring and all assassins of the peo ple. Rivers of blood- as never before perhaps will flow and even Russia her self may perish because of thee. ‘•Take warning, therefore, and quick ly renounce with all thy family the throne of Russia and present thyself before the tribunal of the Russian peo ple.

TURKISH PROVINCES IN REVOLT. Present Insurrection Puts In the 8hade Previous Disturbances. Constantinople, March 2.—The pres ent insurrection In Yemen province, Arabia, appears to put ln the shade all previous revolts. The center of the movement Is at Saada, northward of Sanaa, and al ready there are signs of Its extension to the province of Assy’s. Tho Insur gents have again surrounded Sanaa and a stubborn fight has been In prog ress for five days. Many of the Turkish traps refused to resist any further. In tho south the towns of Aab and Heldjeh, the lat ter containing 2,000 troops with four guns are surrounded and on the point of capitulating. The alleged victory of Feb !, when It was officially announced that the Turkish forces had routed the rebels Investing Sanaa and Hodelda, Yemen province, and had relieved the be sieged garrison of Sanaa, turns out to have been an Insurgeut success. Turkey’s defective transportation de lays the despatch of reinforcements. The object of the insurrection Is lieved to be the creation of an auton- •xtminifttratinn. | Miss Wu-tor will bjNuiiml :» |«i bciiuIi‘uI bio.iii sn t, with li .t to m .toll Mr. King s o. g.n illy bom M irietta, Ga., but for about four years ho made his homo in Way cross, and traveled i\>r tin* S als Wnolesalo Drug ( o.
