—On May 20 the Senate of the United States adopted a resolution according to the struggling armies of Cuba the rights of belligerents, and both powers equal rights in the ports and territories of the United States. The vote was a decisive one, being forty-one to fourteen. The House of Representatives will probably not act definitely upon the resolution during the present week.

—The State of Kansas is considerably stirred up at the present time over the liquor question. The state officials have manifested a strong disinclination to enforce the prohibitory law, and it is stated that they intend to allow the larger cities to have all the liquor they want. In view of this the members of the State Temperance Union will for the present abandon active work in the large cities.

—On May 17 President McKinley sent a message to Congress recommending the appropriation of $50,000, to be made available immediately for relieving the distress of American citizens in Cuba, and providing transportation for such as desire to come to the United States. The appropriation was at once agreed to by the Senate, but was not unanimously agreed to in the House, being made an occasion for bringing about a crisis on the question of Cuban belligerency.

—A party of New York scientists started from New York on May 26 to conduct anthropological study among the Indians of British Columbia, and also to study and compare the thirty or more Indian dialects spoken in that part of the country. Similar investigations will be carried on along the north-eastern coast of Asia. The two expeditions will then compare notes and decide whether the Indians of North America are descendants of Asiatics who crossed Bering Strait hundreds of years ago.

—On May 21 Judge James Gay Gordon appeared before a committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature who are investigating the condition of convicts in the State Penitentiary, and made startling charges against the prison officials and inspectors, the charges including brutal and inhuman treatment of convicts, many of whom were insane, the intimidating of witnesses, the secreting of evidence, falsifying of reports, neglect of duty, and incompetency. It was shown that some of the convicts who were insane had died from the effects of the cruel treatment which they had received.
