mexcusable if they did not take every
means permitted to them by the Con-
stitution. to retain in their hands the
power of government in the interests
of justice, of right and of civilization.
Mr.. Money anticipated there was no
danger to the South of losing votes in
the electoral college or representatives
in Congress by the restrictions placed
on suffrage.
Mr. Chandler inquired how he would
defend the South's retention of its pres
ent representatives in the electoral col
lege in case the colored population should
not be permitted to vote.
Mr.. Money replied that the basis of a
States representation in Congress and
in the electoral college was based on
population and not on votes cast.
In Il colloquy between Mr.. Money and
Mr.. Chandler, the latter alleged that
the passage Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution was due to
the rejection by the Southern States
OF the Fourteenth amendment.
Mr.. Money said this whole question
had been opened by Mr.. Pritchard' $
resolution.
Mr.. Chandler retorted with much We
hemence that the whole Southern ques-
ton had been opened by the remarkable
speech of Mr.. Morgan in which he had
mistakenly maligned the people of the
entire North and was being followed
by other Southern Senators in the same
sein. He read that paragraph of Mr..
Morgan's speech in which the Alabama
Senator had charged that the Civil
War had been precipitated by the de-
signing politicians of the North with the
idea of thrusting upon the people Of the
South the negro in social and political
equality.
Il denounce that" shouted Mr.. Chand-
ler, ''as a SANDER upon the North and"
Mr.. Pettus (Ala): IF the Senator
will permit me-would it not be better
would it not be more decent for him
to wait until the Senator (Mr. Morgan)
returns before criticising him."
3 Mr.. Chandler: II intend to wait but
want the Senator from Alabama, who
is absent; L want the Junior Senator
from Alabama who is now here, and
| want the Senator's from the Southern
States who have reopened this question
which l supposed was forever dead in
the Senate-tO tell me whether the
North is to be expected TO allow a
charge made upon this floor to go un-
answered that the war for the Union,
which was a war growing out of q North
ern determination to prevent the eXten-
sion of slavery into free territory, was a
war of ambitious politicians with a
cruel design to put negro slaves on a
political and social footing of equality
with the Southern whites. Now. if the
Southern Senators wish to discuss that
question they will have plenty OF tue
before this session ends"
That ended the incident and the Senate
then adjourned until Monday.

London, Jan 25.-The War Office has

General Warren's troops last night

annoying shell fire.

gerously wounded.

he has rendered the enemy's position TN
tenable. The men are splendid
THEIR JOY Is CTIASTENED.
London. Jan. 25.--The jubilation over
General Warren'S achievement in captur-
ing Spion Kop Tuesday night is chasten-
Cd by the realization that his success is
only provisional, as it appears clear from
General Buffers dispatch that the Boers
fully recognize the strategical Importance
OF Spon Kop and at the time his mes
sage was sent eff they had not abandon
ed the hope of recapturing the position
Nevertheless a heavy load of anxiety has
been removed from the nation, and there
is general expectation, that as the Brit
ish have succeeded in keeping the bin al
day long, they viii manage 10 retain 1t
until General Warren plants gums enough
on it TO dominate the Boer trenches
right and left.
There is the usual disposition here to
eXaggerate the Importance of the point
scored, hut the best informed people real
ize that General Butler still has Il task
ahead Of him calling for the most dOgged
persistence and untiring attack, and that
the difficulties will increase as the posi-
ton develops.

Interesting Railroad Rumor.

An interesting railroad rumor which
seems to be a revival OF an old rumor,
comes from St. John, y. B. The super
intendent OF the Shore Line railway of
New Brunswick Is credited with the an.
nouncement that a company Is endeavor-
ing to purchase the railway and II au-
thority can be obtained from the Cana
dian and American governments, a bridge
will be constructed across the St. Croix
river at st. Stephen, thereby enabling the
road to connect with the Washington
County railway in Maine, and eventually
establish a through line to the west.
Mr.. Hill, speaker of the New Brunswick
legislature, is quoted as saying that he is
In favor Of assisting the road financially
to construct bridge. Col. H. II. Mclean,
OF st. John, counsel for the Shore Line
people, is reported as saying that ex-Gov.
Levi p. Morton and Russell Sage, of New
York, the holders OF a mortgage on the
railroad, purpose to foreclose the mort
gage, bid in the property, and make it
through road by connecting it with the
Washington County and Maine Central.
The Shore Line runs from St. John to St.
Stephen.

The Puerto Rico Act.

The change in public sentiment re-
garding the Puerto Rican act, now
that its principles and underlying
motives are understood, has been re-
markable. People who a month ago
were clamoring for immediate free
trade with Puerto Rico say frankly
now that the act as passed is vastly
better and for very important reasons.
To have established immediate free
trade with Puerto Rico would have
taken away the easiest method of
raising revenue which that island
must have, and which it could other
wise only have had by an internal
revenue act-a tax which would have
been extremely burdensome-or by
direct contribution from the treasury
of the United States.
This absolutely necessary revenue
will now be supplied from the col
lections under the Puerto Rican act
on all dutiabie goods imported into
the United States from Puerto Rico
or into Puerto Rico from the United
States.
If this system of raising money is
unsatisfactory to Puerto Ricans they
can put an end to it within a few
months if they desire, since the act
authorizes them to elect a legislature,
and specifically provides that all tariff
between the United States and Puerto
Rico shall cease when that legislature
shall provide the necessary funds for
sustaining the government of Puerto
Rico.
An equally important result, how
ever, of the enactment of this law,
which retains mere shadow of tariff
duties between Puerto Rico and the
United States, lies in the fact that the
right to determine matters of this
character as they are reached is re-
tanned by Congress, and thus no pre-
cedent is established by which any
body could claim, or the democratic
party can successfully assert, that
free trade with the Philippines OF
other possessions of that character
must or would logically follow.
1t is only justice to the workingmen
of the United States, whether on the
farm, or in the factory, the mines, OF
elsewhere, that Congress should re-
tain in its hand the absolute power to
determine these matters one by one,
as they may offer themselves for de-
termination.
