our Philippine news today is that 1t re-

BATTLE FOR A BABY.
Mother and Father Fight for the
POssessiOn of a Little One.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The unusual
violently in the street for the possession
of their only child, little girl hardly two
years old, attracted large crowd yester-
day at Franklin Street and Fremont Ave
nue. and threw the neighborhood into such
state of excitement that it had hardly
quieted down at midnight.
The child for the last few months has
been in charge of its father. Mr.. Otto
Burkhard. Some time ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Burkhard had some conjugal differences
and have since lived apart. The trouble
yesterday occurred On Pierce Street, near
Fremont Avenue. The baby had been sent
out by Mr.. Burkhard in a baby carriage
in charge OF a small colored boy. The boy
was quietly wheeling the carriage on
Pierce Street. when the mother of the baby
suddenly appeared on the scene. Mrs.
Burkhard. it is said, stopped the carriage
and lifted the child out. She then pro-
ceeded TO march up the street with the
child followed by another woman, who
was with her at the time.
The boy protested loudly against letting
the baby go and a crowd began TO collect
about the two women. Someone in the
meantime ran back to the store and noti-
fed Mr. Burkhard, who rushed 10 recov-
er his child The crowd gave way for the
father, who dashed UP to Mrs. Burkhard
and laid hold of the child.
Then there ensued a scene Of excitement
Mr.. Burkhard endeavored 10 drag the child
from its mothers arms and the mother
held on with all her might. The baby was
pulled about considerably in the struggle,
and thus slow progress toward the Burk-
hard store was made. Mrs. Burkhard it
is said. clung 10 her daughter until the
house was reached, when Mr.. Burkhard
| succeeded at last in making her let go
her hold and carried the child triumphantiy
| into the house. By this time the crowd
| had swollen to large proportions and the
street was completely blocked.
| Mrs. Burkhard foiled in her attempt to
carry off the baby. did not stop. but forced
| her way into the house, accompanied, il is
| said by her friend, who had remained close
| by her during the struggle, and aided her
| all she could Then Mr.. Burkhard it is
| claimed, appealed 10 the police several Of
| whom had arrived on the spot, to clear his
house OF Mrs Burkhard and the strange
woman. Mrs. Burkhard was induced 20 go
/ out, but the other woman persisted and
refused TO bulge The police informed Mr
| Burkhard that they could not force the wo-
man TO go out, and that as he was master
of the house he would have 10 handle the
| case himself. This determined the iratt
father, who pulled of his coat. and after
! giving the woman one more chance which
! she refused, he seized her firmly by the
arms and after a strenuous effort succeed
ed in getting her out into the crowd. Thi:
brought the hostilities to an end. as Mr.
| Burkhard Immediately retired within the
| house, having regained possession of tbs
child and cast out his objectionable visi-
tors.

Porto Rican Tariffs.
(From the Chicago Tribune. }


An American who has just returned from Porto
Rico calls attention to the disagreeable situa-
tion of the producers of that island. Before the
war most of their exports went to Spain and Span
ish colonies. Now that Spain has lost the island
Porto Rican sugar, tobacco, etc, must find new
markets. The old market is closed to them by
heavy Spanish customs duties. The American
tariff imposed on Porto Rican products is as high
as it was before the United States acquired uris-
diction over the island. 1t is true that most
of the imported goods consumed in Porto Rico
pay lower duties than of old, but the producers
find it harder to sell their products than they
did, The President is not~of the opinion that the
annexation of Porto Rico does away, without ac-
tion by Congress, with all duties in American
ports on the products of that island. He has
deemed it advisable to wait and learn the views
Of Congress II will be inclined, undoubtedly, to
come to the relief OF the Porto Ricans by putting
their products on the free list. There may be
objecters, however. The sugar and tobacco pro-
ducers OF the United States will call on their
Representatives in Congress to oppose policy
which they will assert will be harmful to them
