MEx1cANs CONDEMN BILL
Strongly Censure Congress for Passing
 Porto Rican Measure

City of Mexico, March 5.-The press here, both native and foreign, condemn the policy of tine United States congress toward Por- to Rico. The papers printed in English are as severe in their comments on the treat ment of the annexed island. and predict trouble ahead. The Spanish colony's organ, Coore Espanlo, says:
 Mckinley, having taken pity on Porto Rico, has asked congress to authorize him to devote to the relief of the island-which has been converted by famine into new British India-a sum equivalent to the cus- tom house duties paid by the merchandise of Porto Rico on its introduction into the United States. It Is said that half a loaf is better than no bread, but we are of the opinion that this measure Is worse than nothing. Instead of converting the inhabi- tants of the island into mendicants, they ought to be left free to develop their na- tural resources and sell their products, to which end exportations now in a state of stagnation should be facilitated by menas of free trade. What Porto Rico needs rath- CT than degrading aims which Is insulting to human dignity, ds to be able to sell it's sugar and tobacco. But this would not suit American producers of tobacco and sugar; it would run counter to the protected in- terests which have great influence in the federal congress, and Mckinley. in order not to offend those interested, has found a way out of it by offering charity"
 The city is filling with tourists and large excursions and many private parties in are on the way here.
 The government of the federal district has commenced to take action against ven- ders of cigarette packages containing im- proper pictures Dealers in obscene pic- lures have been driven off the streets, and the trade practically suppressed. The government intends to severely punish any violations of laws which is strictly framed to prohibit any public manifestations of in- decency.

Criticism of the Late
Ihe LaIe
 Mss Herhert's Book

The following criticism of the beautiful book on George Washington by the laSe Miss Herbert, appeared in a recent issue of the New York Herald:
 "A beaaltinll book is the work on George Washington, by Leila Heilbert. the late graceful and accomplished daughter of former Secretary of the Navy Herbert.
 'The volume, published by Harper & Brothers, is entitled, The First American: HIS Homes and His HousetIofds.' It aims to present a p1asure ef Washington tn his familiar everyday home life. The author, wtuh full sympathy for her subject enthu- siasm for her work and the intellectual acunen which enabled her to penetrate Ghrouga the crust eff dry historical facts, has furnished an tntereeitrg and discrlna- mating contribution oG new kind to the mass of Washington literature. Hand somely bound, w1Ia Illustrations which add to its beauty, The First Amer1can,' be sides being a valuable book is "a fitting memorial to its charming author.
 Miss Molly Elliott Seawell contributes a short predatory sketch of the lamented author wLtch is full of patriotic charm. From this we learn that Miss Herbert was twenty-nine years of age when this book was wrbtten-an early age for or woman to show so many of the qualities cli a trained writer. Moreover, from her eighteenth year she had borne upon her shoulders labor and respons Abilities that fall to the lot of few young creatures She then became. on the death of d1er mother, the head of her faI1her's house in Wash ingtonI
 Besides the cares that fall upon an eld- est daughter who takes the mothers place in the family, Leila Herbert had, as the daughter of public man at the capital to learn and practice an exacting social rou- tine. Few young girls would have had the patience to do this, and fewer still would have been as successful in her position. At twenty-five years of age, on her father be- coming secretary of the navy, she was call ed upon to preside over a cabinet members house. The republic has imposed rigid ceremonial upon its high officials, rightly considering simplicity to be served by hay ing a code.
 'It is one which takes much time and strength, but Leila Herbert still found time to perform her duties in the inner circle of her family and to cultivate the great pas- sion of her life-reading. It was this pas sion that ultimately extended to writing. and to both we owe the present book, which shows profound research, added to literary skill.
 Tn September, 1897, she was thrown from her horse, and received what was thought at first to be only slight injury. But as the
 weeks passed on, she began to fade. Pres ently she took to her bed, seldom rising from it. but always patient and even gay. Suddenly and with scarce a days warming the injury to the spine spread to the brain, and in less than forty-eight hours she was
 no more She died on December 22, in her thirtieth year-young, gifted, loving and greatly lamented."

BAILEY HAS SPAT
 WITH HENDERSON Finally Prevented Passage of a
 Bill. UNDERWOOD WAS H0N0RED He Has Been Appointed to the Vacancy on the Ways and Means Com mittee Made Vacant by
 General Wheeler
UNDERWOOD WAS HONORED

Washington, March 5.-Considerable mis- cellaneous business was transacted in the house today. Much of it was of a minor character
 During consideration of a bill to incor- porate the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical association, the speaker and MT. Bailey of Texas exchanged sharp words. and the latter filbbustered and ulti- mately prevented the final passage of the bill by demanding the reading of the en- grossed bill. The bill proposes to collect at the residence of the late Frederick Douglass in this city record of the anti slavery movement.
 Underwood is Honored
 MT. Underwood, democrat, of Alabama, was appointed to the vacancy on the com mittee on ways and means, which 1t was understood was originally reserved for General Wheeler had he returned to con gress. The early part of the session was devoted to the District of Columbia busi- ness Bills were passed to adjust the rights of certain settlers on the Navajo Indian reservation and to authorize white per sons who have intermarried with Cherokee Indians to bring suits in the court of claims

THE SENATE

Washington, March 5-tMr. Carter of Montana deait vigorously with the Quay case in the senate today in the course of an explanation to why he will vote for the former senator from Pennsylvania, noe- withstanding he voted against the seating of MT. Corbett in the last congress. The near approach of the time for voting on the conference report on the financial bill brought out two speeches on that meas ure, one by MT. Fairbanks of Indiana and the other by MT. Butler of North Carolina.
 When the routine business had been con- cluded MT. Teller of Colorado resumed his speech opposing the pending financial bill. He did not speak chiefly in behalf of Colo rado. Colorado today he sayd, lis pro- ducing more gold than any other part of the world except South Afrbca. We can stand the gold standard better than other parts of the country. If New England, with its great manufacturing enterprises and large labordng population, can stand it, Colorado can stand it, atoo, and grow rich under it'

calamity ever afflicted upon the country, an affiction greater than the civil war.
 The pension appropriation bill, which ap- propriates $145, ,245, ,230, was passed and then MT. Canter, of Montana, addressed the sen ate in favor of seating MT. Quay
 Referring to the precedents of the Mantle, Allen and Beckwith cases, he declared that the silver question really had decided those cases.
 As ito the Corbett case, MT. Carter said a large number of senators voted against MT. Corbett because his appointment was regarded as the conclusion of a conspiracy against the government of his state.
 MT. Fairbanks, of Indiana, gave set speech in support of the conference report on the financial bill, which bill, he declared, marks a large and intelligent step forward in our monetary history He made an argument on the silver question, holding that the maintenance of the gold standard with the silver circulating at a parity with gold is the only bimetalism possible with so vast a difference existing between the value of the two metals in the markets and that it would be impossible for the United States alone to maintain the parity of silver under free coinage of the latter.
 MT. ForakeE of Ohio. gave notice of amendments to the Porto Rican bill impos- ing duty of cents a pound upon coffee chicory root and chicory imported into Porto Rico, and to prevent the importation from Porto Rico to the United States or goods or products not actually of Porto Rican origin.
 MT. Butler of North Carolina, followed with a brief general discussion of the finan- cial question, particularly attacking the power which he said was conferred upon the national banks by the pending bill After a brief executive session the sen- ate at 4:40 D. nn., adjourned.
