Washington, March s. = Formal dis
cussions.of the Porto Rican tariff and
civil government bill began in the sen
ate yesterday and. continued uninter-
ruptedly for four hours and a half.
The principal speakers We're Mr.. Fora
ker (Rep:;~ Ohio, in charge of the
measure, and Mr.. Pettus Dem, Ala.),
but at various times during tie debate
lively cOlloq1lies occurred, in (which
several senators were participants.
After Mr.. Mason OILY had entered his
motion to discharge the committee on
foreign relations, from further consid-
GRAFTON of his resolution expressing
sympathy for the Beers and it had
gone over until to-day under the rules.
Mr.. Pettus delivered a carefully pre-
pared speech in opposition to the pend
ing bill. He argued that it was uncon-
stitutiona1 and in opposition to the
principles of this government as laid
down by the fathers Of the Constitu-
ton. Mr.. Foraker occupied the floor
during the remainder of the session.
He explained the measure in detail
and gave the reasons why the commit
tee had determined uponsthe levying of
a tariff upon Porto Rican traffic. III
his opinion it was impossible for a
direct tax to be levied upon the people
to support local government because
Of their destitute condition. This fact
had caused the idea of imposing Il
small tariff to raise sum sufficient
with the internal revenues to give the
people not only local self government,
but to build roads and erect schools.
Then. too, it was necessary that the
question Of extension of the Constitu-
ion over our insular possessions should
be determined by the supreme court
and by the very provisions of the bill
It would be inevitable that the supreme
court should pass upon that question.
Porto Rico and the Philippines. he said,
were on the same basis so that the
courts decision would determine our
right to levy a tariff on products of
the Eastern archipelago.
The House.
The house unseated CASTOR Robbins,
n Democrat from the Fourth Alabama
district, and seated in his stead William
r. Aldrich, a Republican, who has
been three times a contestant from the
same district on the ground of fraud
and who is now given his seat for the
third time by Republican house. The
vote was a strict party one. This
case out of the way, new rule was
brought in to set aside the day sessions
on the second and fourth Fridays of
each month for pension legislation.
During the debate on the rule there
was quite a lively row between Mr..
Mahon Of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Tai
bert of South Carolina. Before adj
journing the house took up the con-
tested election case Of Wise VS.. Young
from the Second Virginia district, MI.
Weeks (Mich.) giving notice that he
would ask a vote on it at 2 o'clock to-
day.
