MAJORITY OF 8.
House COncurs in Senate Amend
ments to Porto Rican Bill.

Washington, April 12.-The Porto Ri
can tariff bill passed the house yester-
day at o'clock by a vote of 161 to 153,
the house concurring in all the senate
amendments.
AS the bill originally passed the house
it was a simple bill, imposing Is per
cent of the Dingley rates on goods go
ing into Porto Rico from the United
States and coming from Porto Rico in
to the United States. AS amended, by
the senate and agreed to by the house
all restrictions on goods coming into
the United States from Porto Rico are
eliminated and certain food stuffs and
other articles which heretofore have
gone into Porto Rico free by executive
order are excluded from the operation of
the Is per cent duty imposed on goods
entering the island from the United
States.
A complete scheme of civil govern
ment for the island is also attached to
the measure.
Upon the final vote, nine Republicans
voted against the bill-Messrs. Heat
wole, (Minn.), Crumpacler, Qnd), Lane.
Qa.), Littlefield, CMe.), Mccall, (Mass.) +,
Fl. C. Smith, CMich), Warner, Ql.),
Fletcher, (Me), and Lorimer, Gid
Two Democrats-Me ssrs. Davey and
Meyer, Qa.), were paired with Demo-
Gratis in favor of the bill and one Demo-
crat, Mr.. Sibley, Pa.), voted for it out
right. Mr.. Devries. the other Democrat
who voted for the original bill voted
against concurrence. Mr.. Stallings.
Dem., Ala.), was the only member on
either side absent and impaired.

Grain Letter.

WHEAT-Cables came lower this morn
ing and closed unchanged from first quo
tations. Lower cables were expected and
the fact that the close was unchanged
shows that foreign markets are not SYM
pathizing fully with our declines. North
west receipts were light and clearances
fair. Tomorrow is a. holiday in all mar
kets and Saturday is a half holiday vir-
tually making three days without a mar
ket and this was the cause of the break
today, proft-ta.king by people who desire
to even up over these holidays There is
no sense in the decline and we expect
to see better markets all next week, COM
mencing Monday morning
CORN-Corn was in the same position
as wheat, simply suffering from realiz-
ing sales by traders evening up over the
holidays. Corn has had break enough
and will do better. Conservative traders
are buying on the soft spots.

We have had a break in pork of about

lieve this is enough to leave the market

pie. The sergeant believes that the Pc
titioners are backed by a certain clique
of citizens of the town, including the
alcalde, who desire that every family
should draw relief supplies. whether or
not they are destitute. He also adds
that the alcalde in issuing the relief
tickets allotted to him does not dis
tribute them to the more needy.
Such instances as this need not be
taken as applying to the entire island.
In many cases the people are actually
starving and with no work to do.
Thousands of dollars worth of provi-
sions have been issued to these people
for many months. Thousands have
been fed and the relief supply has never
run short. In Porto Rico, as in every
country, a class of people exist who
will not work so long as they may pick
up enough to keep the spark of life
afiame without exerting themselves.
This sort of people have learned of the
g, 095,000 appropriated to Porto Rico and
many of them have come in expecting
to receive their share

report was agreed to-

Democratic national committee, adj
dressing the senate on a question of
personal privilege defended his action
in Offering an amendment to the Porto
Rico relief bill, proposing to refund the
duties that had been collected from the
people of Porto Rico to the people who
had paid these duties. This action was
attacked by Mr.. Dolliver QOwa) in the
house yesterday during the debate on
the Porto Rico tariff and governmental
bill. Mr. Jones said he had offered his
resolution from the conviction that the
government of the United States had no
right to levy any tariff duties upon pro-
ducts coming from Porto Rico and if
the government had no such right it
was common honesty to give the money
back to the people from whom it had
been taken.
He said that he is not in the confidence
of the sugar trust and had never looked
to see who had paid the revenues nor
where this money would go. He had
withdrawn the amendment having be-
come satisfied that the whole matter
should be left to the courts to deter
