CONTROL OF AFFAIRS TO BE LEFT LARGE
LY IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
PENDING ACTION BY CONGRESS-
Washington. Sept 12.-The Cabinet meeting
to-day was occupied in the discussion OF a form
Of civil government for Porto Rico. This sub
feet has been under serious consideration ever
since Mr. Root took his place as Secretary Of
War. and the Indications now are that some
form 81 local government will be decided upon
and put in operation within the next few weeks
at the latest. The details OF the proposed plan
have not yet been made public. but II is under
stood that 1t involves the appointment Of Civil
Governor by the President and also the APP
pointment OF the chiefs Of the great depart
ments Of the Government which would include
a chief OF the financial department a director
Of posts and probably two or three others.
In addition the President will appoint from
the leading citizens Of the island a certain num-
Der u act in a legislative capacity. with the
Civil Governor and the members Of his Council
They will be authorized TO recommend any
changes that may be thought necessary in the
existing laws. and TO suggest such others az In
their Judgment may be deemed best. 1t is not in
tended that this form OF government shall con-
tinue beyond the time Congress may see ht 70
legislate on the subject, but it is the purpose Of
the President to give the Porto Ricans some
voice in their own government pending such
action.
Although the Governor General and the mem
bers Of his Council will exercise general super
vision over the enforcement of any laws which
may receive the approval 81 the President. those
relating 10 municipal affairs will be left largely
in the hands Of the people Of Porto Rico. They
will be permitted 10 administer their own af-
fairs. subject always 10 the veto power OF the
Governor General. and finally Of the President
All the details Of the plan have not been worked
out. but it is the purpose Of the President 10
give the people Of Porto Rico as soon as pos
sible the fullest measure Of home rule that Is
considered consistent with perfect safety TO life

BY Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, May 5.-Liverpool wheat
closed kc lower and Argentine shipments,
estimated 2al million bushels; this and rain
over the winter belt were bearish and
caused an easier feeling. Outside specula-
ton was very small; weather in the north
west still cold and season backward.
Movement small as compared with last
year. Export demand improving, but still
moderate; prices look lower. Corn easy in
the face of large outgoing shipments from
the west to the east, and also for Europe.
Professional operations bearish, and out
side speculate ton unimportant. Exporters
liberal buyers again today.
Provisions still under the influence OF
heuidafing sales. Offerings absorbed by
packers in closing hedges.
