Measure Passes the Senate After FruAtisss
Attempts to Amend It.
WAsH1NaToN, March l7.-After dc.
bate, at times spirited. extending over
parts OF two days, the senate passed the
Porto Rican relief appropriation bill.
As passed the measure carries &,095,.
600, the president being authorized to
use that sum "for public education,
public works and other governmental
and publ, purposes" in Porto Rico
Mr.: Allen (Neb.) offered an amend.
ment to the bill declaring that the con.
stltution extends over Porto Kico by it's
own force, but it was lost by the deoi-
lve vote Of 50 to II. Mr.. Jones (Ark.)
withdrew the free trade amendment of.
fered by him and that proposition,
therefore, did not reach a vote. Other
efforts to amend the bill were Ruthless
An order was made by the senate a.
to consideration Of the case Of former
Senator Quay, it being unanimously
agreed that it should be taken up two
weeks from next Tuesday and discussed
until disposed of, the discussion not to
interfere with the unfinished business,
