''That the president be requested, if

message from the president recon-
mending the immediate passage OF
bill to place in his hands
all the moneys collected upor
PuertoE Rican goods since the
Spanish evacuation of the island
to be used for the relief of the Puerto
Ricans had been read to the house, Fri
day, the house had passed and sent to
the senate bill to carry out the rec
concentration. The message came like
a bolt out of clear sky to the minor
ity. They were at first inclined to hail
it with delight as a reproof of the ma
jority for the passage of the Puerto
Rican tariff bill on Wednesday. The
republican leaders had recommended
bill already to carry the presidents
recommendations into effect.
Mr.. Cannon asked immediate COLI
sideration for it, and this was given.
1t was only when the debate opened
it had been agreed that 20 minutes
should be allowed on a side-that, un-
der the lead of Mr.. Bailey (Tex.), the
democrats began lining up against the
bill, because it placed no limitation
upon the presidents discretion in the
use of the money.
The bill was passed by vote of 162
to LOT, IS democrats, two populists and
two silver republicans voting with the
republicans in the affirmative.

Washington, March 3.-The presl
lent sent the following message t,
congress:
TO the Senate and House of
Representatives: Since the evacu-
alton of Puerto Rico by the Span
ish forces, on the eighteenth day
of October, 1898, the United States
has collected on products coming
from that island to the ports of
the United States, the duties fixed
by the Dingley act, and amounting
to $2,O95, 455.SS, and will continue
to collect, under said law, until
congress shall otherwise direct.
Although 1 had the power, and
having in mind the best interests
of the people of the island, to use
it to modify duties ON goods and
products entering into Puerto Rico,
1 did not have the power to remit
or modify duties on Puerto Rican
products coming into the ports of
the United States. In view of the
pressing necessity for immediate
revenue in Puerto Rico for con-
Quoting the government there, and
for the extension of public educa-
ton, and in view, also, of the pro-
visional legislation just inaugu-
rated by the house of representa-
tives, and for the the purpose of
making the principle embodied in
that legislation applicable to the
immediate past as well as to the
immediate future, / recommend
that the above sum collected, and
the sums hereafter to be collected,
under existing law shall, without
waiting for the enactment of the
general legislation now pending,
be appropriated for the use and
benefit of the island.
