Problem' Message to Congress on Porto ltlenn Law Mnny Vacancies In Ofltce. Washington, (Special.) The President sent to Congress the following message: - The tlmo remaining I eforo the 1st of May, when tho net of April Pi, MOO, entitled "An act temporarily to provide revenue and a elvll government for Porto Hlco nnd for oihor purposes," will take effect appears to be lusunielont for tho enreful Inquiry pad consideration requlslto tb the proper selec tion of suitable persons to 1111 Ihe Important civil ofliecB provided for by the net. New Authority Itequlred. The powers of the present government will cease when the net takes effect, and some new authority will be necessary to en able tho officers now performing the various duties of civil government in tho Island to continue the performance of tbose duties until tho officers who nre to perform slmllnr duties under the new government shall havo been nppoiuted nnd qnnlllled. That author ity cannot well be given nt present by tem porary appointments of tho existing officers to positions under the act, for the reason that many of the existing olllcors are offlcors of the army detailed to the performance of elvll duties, nnd Section 1222 of the Itovlsed Statutes would prevent them from accepting such temporary appointments under the penally of losing their commissions. The selection of tho new offlcors nnd tho orgnnlzntlon of tho new government under tlio act referred to will be accomplished with all practicable speed, but in order that It may bo properly accomplished I recommend tho passage of a joint resolution to obviate tho difficulty above stated. WILLIAM Mi KINI.EY. To carry Into effect the President's mes sngo Mr. Foraker, chairman of tho Porto ltlenn Committee, Introduced this Joint reso lution: Mr. Fnrnkcr's Itesolulion.
