the Spanish forces on October 1S,

hereafter be collected under existing
law, shall 20 placed at the disposal Of
the rr<esident to be used for the gov
eminent and benefit of Porto Rico
until otherwise provided by law, and
the revenue herein referred to, already
collected and to be collected under e1-
listing laws, are hereby appropriated
for the purposes herein specified out
of moneys in the treasury not other
wise appropriated"
EXPLAINED BY Mr.. CANNON.
Mr.. Cannon said there was no rea-
son to make An extended argument in
support of the bill. The brief mes
sage of the president, he said, covered
all the points necessary to justify the
passage of the bill. It appropriated
all the money in the treasury collected
up to January l, and such as shall be
hereafter collected on exports from
Porto Rico for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the island.
Mr.. Cannon explained that the sugar
and tobacco piled up in Porto Rico con-
trolled by the sugar and tobacco trusts
which was awaiting shipment to this
country would be shipped to the Uni
ted States if this bill passed and that
every dollar of duty paid by these
trusts would be devoted to the storm
swept and starving inhabitants of the
island. Republican applause.)
"You have been shedding crocodile
tears" he concluded. ''Now come up
and vote for this bill, every man OF
you. (Renewed applause.)
Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, replied to
Mr.. Cannon and evoked a roand of
Democratic applause by his first Son
tence. If he had known when the
unanimous consent was submitted that
the bill placed at the absolute disposal
of the president 50, ,0o0,0 900 now in the
treasury and an indefinite sum here
after to be collected, he said, he would
himself have taken the responsibility
of obiecting. he would never con-
sent, he said, to turn over to the dis
cretion of one man money in the
treasury.
Mr.. Cannon moved the previous
question on the Porto Rico bill and
this prevailed on standing vote of
143 to 119. A yea and nay vote fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Bailey's motion to commit the
bill was lost by 1873 to 149. The vote
was then taken by yeas and nays on
the passage of the bill and resulted
1853 to 1877. The bill now goes to the
senate.
