Game Commissioner Carleton who re
turned from Boston, Wednesday evening.
noted peculiar thing while at the show.
That is that the place to find the Maine
people was not ut the Maine exhibit.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the Maine people who went To- Boston
were anxious to see something with
which they were less familiar. While all
the Maine people visited the Maine eXhib-
it and spoke Of it in the highest terms of
praise. Yet they did not exhibit the inter
est that other people showed The peo-
pie from other states. and especially the

Senator's Teller and Turner Discuss
Porto Rico.
Both Opposed to Pend
ing Bill.
Believe Island Shonld Not Be
Part OF United States.

Washington, March 1.-Two arguments
were presented to the Senate to5sy in
which elmost antipodeal positions we're
taken py the two Senators. hlr. Teller OF
Colorado In a btiet spesch maintained
that the consultation could not extend over
territory acquired by the United States,
while Mr.. Turner of Washington, elaoo-
rately contended shat the constitution
embraces d the acquired territory the very
moment the Unlted States took perms-
nsnt possession Of IL. MIR. Teller held
that this govsrnmsnt could make the out
lying territory into states or could hold IL
as colonies as 1t faw Ut, while Mr.. Tur-
ner maintained that the United states
could not bold colonies or dependencies.
ASIDE from the constitutional questions,
the two Senators were in practical agree
msnt. Beth were opposed to the pending
bill and both objected to any OF the insu-
lar territory becoming a part of the
United States or any Of Its inhabitants
citizens of the United states.
Soon after the Senate convened Presi-
dent Protein Frye announced his sigma
turs to the hill fixing the standard of
value Of money Of the United States. The
measure will now go to the President for
his signature.
Mr.. Turner OF Washington who began
his speech on the Porto Rican bill,
yielded the floor to Mr.. Teller OF Colora-
DO, who expects TO leave for Cuba tonight.
MIR. Teller said the constitutional ques-
tions involved In the discussions OF the
pending bill had been thoroughly elabo-
ratsd aud discussed, but he believed them
of sufficient importance to be further con
sidersd. His only purpose today, was to
doubt Of the power OF the government to
govern the possessions 1t had acquired.
M. Teller declared he oouid lind ample
autacrity for legislation, relating to our
iasaIar possessions not found In the oou-
stttutior. '.And l do not believe, said
Mt. Teller, ''that the constitution is In
foToe In any OF our new possessions. Con-
qress, believe, Is supreme SO far as the
making Of the legislation for acq uired
territory is concerned. OF course In en- :
acting legislation, Congress Is bound by
certain fundamental principles that un-
derlie this free government. After q
careful examination of all supreme oouTt
auth critics. have been able to tind only
