The Porto RiGan fiffafr.

The question of tariff or no tariff
for Porto Rico has aroused the coun-
try as no other question before Con-
gress this year. 1t would seem at
nrst thought that there would be but
little choice between free trade with
the United States and small tariff
the proceeds of which are to be de-
voted to island improvements. And
indeed, the Porto Ricans themselves
seem to be not violently opposed to
the proposed fifteen per cent tariff.
But people throughout the United
States are loud in their demands for
free trade if the tone of the great
dailies is fair index.
The following from the pen of Pres
Schuman Of Cornell College, member
of both the old and the new Philippine
Commissions, speaks strongly for free
trade:
I II agree with you that the United
States is under obligation TO extend
its tariff laws to the Island of Porto
Rico. But cannot accept your con-
tention that this obligation is derived
from the Constitution, which, in my
Judgment, does not of its own force
apply to annexed territories. The
obligation is moral. not constitution
al. AS the President said with equal
truth and felicity,it is Our plair
duty
We are bound to this course b,
solemn promises. The supreme anC
irresistible reason for removing al
custom barriers between the United
States and Porto Rico is the promis,
made by General Miles, when frs
landing American forces on the Island
that the Porto kicans should enjoy
the same rights, privileges and i'm
munities as the people Of the UniteC
States. On this understanding tn
Porto Ricans accepted American SOY
ereigtny, not only without opposition
but with joyful trust and confidence
| The present issue is simply this
Shall we repudiate or shall we fulfil
the National engagements? Sha
this great Republic break faith wit,
the little Island OF Porto Rico9 HAY

Miles's promise, shall we now renounc

the promise?

the promise?
The American people will not toler-
ate any paltering with solemn obliga
tions. Recognizing the National
good faith as the Nations chietest
good, they will condemn any violation
of it as the blacklist crime. All over
the country this Porto Rican question
has stirred to the deepest the Nation
al heart and conscience. Legislation
inspired by breach Of good faith will
bring terrible Nemesis.
1t is said that a tariff is needed be-
tween Porto Rico and the United
States to provide case for t2e
courts; to determine the extent Of
our jurisdiction over the new de-
Tendencies, especially the Philippines.
| answer that no convenience, no ex-
pediency, no other obligation ever
justlties a breach of the National good
faith.
Let me add, too, that this Porto
Rican legislation is testing US before
the eyes Of the Philippines. who
keep well informed of all our doings.
They will Judge by this legislation the
value of American promises.
When the ablest ana most states
manlike of Aguinaldo's eHissaries t.
the Philippine Commission once *
pressed the fear that the Americana
Government might not keep the pro
misses it was making, for Spain (said
he) made promises and broke them.
| silenced him with the reply: 'SignoS
the United States is not Spain.
Is he now to learn, are all the Phi
lpinos now to learn. that in the first
legislation for our new dependencies
we prove faithless to our pledges and
recreant to our obligations2 Sucb
an exhibition of ourselves willstrengaa

insurgents, because unhappily il can be
used TO support their persistent state
ment that the Americans are no more
trustworthy than the Spaniards.
At the very moment when We need
to inspire confidence in the minds -
the conquered Filipinos shall We com
nit an act which will confirm their

ions, and breed new, and, perhape,

The Loud bill, calculated to draw
closer lines about second-class mail
matter, was recommitted bv the
house to the committee on postoflices
and post roads by vote of rs to 90.
This is the third time the bill has
been buried, and Congressman Loud,
who has labored hard to get it enact
ed into law, is disheartened by the
result. He intimates that he is done
with the matter and it is generally
felt that the bill will not be heard OF
again during this congress.

Imperialism the Issue.

Kansas City, July 6.-There will be nc
minority report on the platform. The op
position has decided that such report
would be useless.
The committee on resolutions completed
its work on the platform and adjourned
sine die.
The vote on the adoption Of the report
was unanimous. The conservative ele-
ment of the committee on platform are
highly pleased with the making of i'm
perialism the issue of primal Importance,
and some of them express the opinion that
this declaration will We of greater benefit
to them than lie omission Of reference to
the ratio would have been. ~
The platform committee has changed the
order of the presentation of subjects and
placed the question Of imperialism in the
front place, making it in this way, and
also by actual declaration, the paramount
issue. 1t says: "While other issues are
vital, the question of Imperialism strikes
at the very existence of the republic"

Big Fire In Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 9.-Pittsburg's down.
town section was visited by another dis
astrous fire, the second within a week.
Four men are dead and six others are in
hospitals suffering from injuries which
may prove fatal. All the victims were
firemen. The dead:
F. Griffit, st. Clair Crawford, Max Bat
terbaugh, John Lewis.
The injured: Captain Dan Campbell,
Stewart Burns, Edward Kearney, William
Erb, George Mum, William Derile.
The fire had its origin in the basement
of Evans & Co.'s glassware establishment
on Fifth avenue, between Wood and Mar
ket streets. The dense smoke from burn
ing excelsior and other material used in
packing chinaware baffled the firemen for
a long time, but after fighting for more
than an hour they got the upper hand
though the building was deluged with
water.
At about $50 when all danger seemed
to have passed 10 members Of Engine CON-
panies Nos. and ii were working on the
second floor, knee deep in water. The
weight of the water with the already
heavy weight on the floor in the shape OF
the big jewelers. safe of Goddard, Hill
Co., was too much and the floor gave
way. In its plunge down it dragged the
third floor along with it clear down to
the cellar. The fremen were buried deep
under the debris and it was believed at
first none would escape. Heroic efforts
were made by the remaining firemen to
rescue their comrades, and in little
while they could be conversed with, but
they were still pinned down by the masses
of debris.
The men still in the wreck were alive
until 7:3O o'clock and conversed with the
rescuers. About that time the fire broke
out afresh just over the spot where the
poor fellows were pinned down. Dan
Campbell, captain of Company No. a, was
in sight of the rescuers, but was pinned
down by heavy timbers on his legs. While
the men were working with fierce energy
to release him, the fire reached him and
burned his feet. He begged his fellows
to hurry the work.
To rescue Captain Campbell jack was
pushed forward and other jacks were re-
quired to raise large portion Of the

UNITED STATES vs.. CHINA
NO STATE OF WAR EXISTS
Uncle Sam Outlines His Position
Responsibility Of Quelling the An
archy at Picking Rests Upon the
Local Provincial Government
Policy of the Administration.

Washington, July 1.-THE state repart-
ment has finally concluded to make public
the identical note which was recently de-
livered to the powers as defining the posi-
ton Of the United States respecting the
Chinese troubles. 1t is understood that this
circular letter of instruction was drawn up
on the 30th of June and transmitted to
Canton for the approval of the president
and communicated to the powers concerned
on the Sd of July. 1t embodies the views
to which this government has strictly adj
hered from the very beginning Of the pres
ent troubles, and which the different pow
ers have one by one taken into favorable
consideration.
The announcement by the president at
the start that we did not consider our.
selves at war with the Chinese nation and
that all our efforts should be directed tow
ard localizing the disturbances in the prov.
ince Of Chin Ii and keeping them from
spreading throughout the empire by en-
listing on the side of peace the power OF
the viceroys of central and southern China,
has now apparently been adopted by all
the other powers. 1t is too soon to proph-
esq the ultimate results, but thus far the
indications are all favorable. 1t will be
seen that no answer from the different
powers was required or expected to the
circular Of July 3, but it is understood
it has been everywhere favorably received
and that no objections have been made to
it in any quarter. 1t is not true that there
has been any formation Of groups or COM
binations Of powers of any sort whatever.
1t may be positively asserted, for instance,
that the cooperation Of France and the
United States has been most constant and
most cordial.
Foreigners i'm the Palace.
Tientsin, July lit is reported from
Chinese sources that foreigners at Picking
have taken possession of one of the princes

ish legation, and that the native Chris
tians have been installed therein.
