Washington, Aug. 31.-The insular
compassion which has been preparing a
code for Porto Rico has completed its
labors and has submitted it's report to
Secretary Root. This code is drafted with
a view of grating the laws of the
United States upon the old Spanish laws
in force in the island at the time of the
cession. The commission will cease to
exist at once. The commission has con-
fined itself almost exclusively to the prep
aration of code for Porto Rico.

Purpose.

DETROIT, Mich, May lO.-Negotia-
tons between the Detroit street railway
commission and Tom l.. johnson for
the purchase Of the street railways Of
Detroit by the city have been declared
off. The commissioners had submitted
an ultimatum as to price and terms.
MIR. Johnson's reply thereto was SO un-
satisfactory, from the commissioners
standpoint, that they will report to the
common conncil a failure to reach an
agreement with the railway representa-
tives.
1t is asserted the street railway peo
pie refused to recede from the price.
which is stated to be Sl7,1OO.O0O, and
that the commissioners feel that $l5.-
5000 is the limit the city ought to
pay, consistently, at least. with the
commissioners avowed purpose Of fur
nishing 3 cent fares. 1t has been stated
that the price named in an option given
by K. I. Wilson of New York, princi-
pal owners of the roads, was Sl1. .325, 600.
stipulating, however, that the price
named called for cash or its equivalent.
johnson has maintained from the first
that the equivalent for the cash price is
$l7.lO0, 900 in per cent bonds the same
to be blanket mortgage over the en-
tire assets Of the company and to be
secured by franchise to run 30 years.
