He said the Asiatic countries coded
by Spain cannot be Incorporated into

citizenship. Closing with the announce
ment that he would vote to amend the
bill. so as to provide for absolute free
trade, he said:
II insist that we may legislnte for
Porto Rico and its people in the broad
est spirit Of justice and generosity with
out endangering our authority TO solve
the Asiatic problem on lines consistent
with the best interests of the United
States and of the Philippines on prin-
ciples that will secure to the people
of those Islands national autonomy
whenever they may deponstrate their
capacity and disposition to preserve do
nestle order, and to perform the in
terrational obligations that must be as
sumed should they become an indie
pendent State.
I'VE cannot forget that, with the ces-
sion of Porto Rico. she lost the princi-
pal market she had long enjoyed; that
our tariff laws have been systcmatical-
ly applied to her products. and that the
markets of Spain and Cuba, which were
once open TO her, can only be reached
now by the payment OF Spanish and
Cuban duties. She has lost free inter-
course with Spain and Cuba. and it is
now proposed to deny her free inter-

VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS.

VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS.
MIR. Mason suggested the resolutions
of sympathy for the Armenian and the
Cubans had day after day been discuss
ed in open session. and that no one
thought it necessary at that time to
close the doors.
Mr. Lodge said that the taking of the
resolution out of the hands of the COM
1nlttee was unprecedented and q dis
courtesy.
Mr.. Hoar said he was in favor of
passing a resolution asking the Presi
dent to offer his good offices in an at
tempt at mediation, and the Mason res
olution would stop such action.
MIR TILLMAN's RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Tillman then offered the follow
Ing substitute for the Mason resou-
ton
THAT the President be required to
offer the mediation and kindly offices of
the United States Government TO put
an end to the war in South Africa, and
secure peace between Great Britain and
the Dutch Republics on terms honora-
BILE to both parties to the conflict"
Mr.. Lodge made the point of order
that a substitute resolution could not
be offered to the resolution in commit
tee. and the point was sustained
IN FAVOR OF Beers
Mr.. Hale made speech in favor OF
the Beers. He added that he was in
favor of the Mason resolution, but that
1t was useless to try and get an eX-
preston of sympathy from the Senate
MIR. Mason said If there was no secret
alliance let us carry out our usual habit
in such cases. We always have passed
resolutions of sympathy with strug-
Cling republics. continued Mr.. Mason,
and we should do so now.
Mr.. Spooner responded that Enpla nd
had been our friend in the Spanish war
and we should do nothing to interrupt
those friendly relations.
A GREAT QUESTION INVOLVED.
This brought Mr.. Hoar to his feet.
He said that great question of right
and wrong was involved, and 1t should
be settled regardless OF the questions
of friendship, whether it was of Spain.
England or the Gear of Russia.
1t Is understood that the motion will

Trapping as a business has about
ended in the eastern states. A few boys
and inprovident men still set traps
along the various woods streams of
Pennsylvania, New York and Maine,
but the old-time trapper IS going. The
time was when men had lines Of traps
up streams, over ridges and through
sWamps for scores Of miles, through
densest forest. a steel trap or dead fall,
large enough to hold mink or marten,
every quarter CT mile or so, and a
double-spring trap at likely places
along the line, large enough to hold a
fox, wolf, fisher or other bait thief. A
couple or three bear traps were COM
monty on the line. Every 10 or - miles
was a little shanty, with its pile Of dry
hickory, frying pan, bag Of salt and
stretchers for the skins, all Of which
had been prepared in the fail before the
fur was prime.
The longest lines took week Or 1O
days to cover. Progress was slow.
Snow had to be cleared away from the
traps after a storm. the victims had to
be skinned. the traps reset and re-
baited. Deer were shot to supply the
bait. All alone, the trapper, with ar
AK or rife and light pack containing
coed, followed his line by the blaze
marks he had cut on the trees. 1t was
d life of toll and hardship. Sometimes
the men were lost, and in the spring
or years after. their bones would be
found with the rusted ak or rife. The
remuneration was not great, but large
enough to e tempting in the days when
a prime mix brought SO to $12 each.
The old trappers are mostly dead.
The new ones are guides, and trapping
for 800 to $500 a winter is not over.

MARRIAGE OF "PERKINS."
An Object Lesson In the Econ ON ca
of Matrimony i'm the City
of Chicago.

They called him "Perk" for short
because they were too busy to get the
inns" to make the full name, saws
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Perk never
did much in the way of support
ing himself, but he let his married sis
ter do the providing. She had done
this for SO many years that he began to
think that it was her duty. In the
summer time he played a cornet at the
''chutes" and firted with the girls.
Last summer he met young girl at
the ''chutes" and fell in love with her.
When winter came his occupation was
gone. and he was too lazy to get an
other. He spent his time calling on his
summer gil. who was obliged to work
in restaurant at seven dollars per
week to support herself.
One Sunday recently Perk thought
that life would be unbearable without
his charmer, ana, borrowing 20 cents
from his sister, which was all the
money she had, he came in from Bow
mdnville, found his inamorata, and, to
do the thing up in romantic style, they
eloped to Wisconsin. 1t took the girls
week's wages to pay the railroad fare
across the state line. They might
have had the knot tied here at less ex-
pense, but that would have taken out
all the romance. Nobody would have
prevented their marrying, as no one
cared. After Perk had been married,
he wrote to his sister, saying: "Will
be home Monday night. hope every.
thing will be all right"
It was all wrong. For when Perk and
his bride returned to Bowmanville the
door was shut and they were told that
there was no roeT1 for them there.
Porto Rico Battalion.
The experiment of enlisting recruits
in Porto Rico for the United States
army has proved successful, and the
Porto Rican battalion of volunteers has
been fully organized. The American
officers who have recruited the battalion
report that the men are obedient and
willing to learn, and that they take
great pride in being soldiers of the
United States army.
