| During the past 10 days the Puerto
Rican people have evinced unusual in
terest in their affairs, and in the future
OF the island as it is being handled by
congress. Until the tariff question is set
tied, business in Puerto Rico will remain
at standstill. The laboring classes are
on the verge of starvation; there is work
for them to do, but the planters who need
their services are without funds with
which to employ them. The people here
say: "Let the tariff question be settled,
either by free trade bill or Is or 25
per cent bill, and the feeling of uncer-
tainty will be raised. Trade will be re-
yived. The banks will advance to the
planters, the planters will employ the
starving, and Puerto Rico will BOOM On
the 18th instant the. chamber of COM
merce held special meeting, at which it
was decided to call a mass meeting for
Monday, March 10, and to present pc
tition to General Davis, beseeching him
to do all in his power to influence legis-
lation for Puerto Rico.
The mass meeting was held recently,
and 1000 people assembled at the plaza,
an orderly, quiet crowd. Headed by Major
Ejossene and President Crosos of the
chamber of commerce and six members
of the body, they submitted a written
statement to Governor General Davis, set
ting forth the critical conditions under
which the island is struggling. They were
told that they had the sincerest sympa-
thies of General Davis, and his hopes that
an immediate settlement will be made.
The crowd cheered, shouting sylvia la Es-
tados Unidos," "Viva ell General Davis"
Throughout the day and during the
following days Geographic reports of sim
liar proceedings in other towns began to
accumulate on the governor generals desk.
For the past 10 days hardly a day has
passed without visit of delegation of
country people begging for work. The

it is not rations that the people want.

The conference report on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
was agreed to in the senate Thursday.
The consideration of the Porto Rican
tariff and government bill was then re-
sumed. Senator Beveridge of Indiana
addressed the senate in support of the
proposition for free trade between the
United States and Porto Rico.
The president nominated Capt. Chas.
s. Cotton to be rear admiral.
So far as the committee in charge of
the measure is concerned, the Puerto
Rican bill was completed Saturday, with
the exception of two amendments which
senators requested should lie over.
Saturday the house proceeded to the
consideration of the Notifications appro-
priation bill. 1t was agreed that general
debate on the measure should not exceed
one and a half hours Mr.. Hemenway
of Indiana, in charge of the bill, explained
its provisions. 1t carries 81 ,039, 499, being
$4 $50 $40 less than the estimates. He
said the reductions in the estimates had
been made because it had been demon
strated that the government could manu-
facture its own guns cheaper than it could
buy them and the appropriation would
be sufficient to keep our gun factories
at work eight hours a day for the ensuing
year. The government, he said, manufac-
tured l2-mch guns cheaper by $4,000
than they could be purchased, and l0-inch
guns $500 cheaper.

NOD FOND OF ArbltratIon.

As nation and as individuals the Brit
ish are very wroth over the Delagoa Bay
railway award. The average opinion is
that this is merely the latest instance
where the country has got the worst end
by trusting to arbitration. All high flown
prophesies that an Anglo German secret
African agreement would become operative
through the decision have fallen flat, be-
cause the damages against Portugal are
SO small that she is amply able to pay
them herself without giving either party
to the secret agreement an opportunity of
bidding for Delagoa bay. That this would
occur was definitely stated some days ago
in these dispatches, but right up to the
last moment several of the most influential
Portugal would be obliged to sell Delagoa
bay to Great Britain in order to pay up.
As result Delagoa Bay railway deben-
lures went up to 1872 and the shares of
the company to 7 pounds.
After the announcement of the decision
the debentures went down to 100, while
shares could be bought for Is Cd, or prac-
tically nothing, as it was evident that
The awards provided scarcely anything to
make them good. After this tremendous
lrop it will be long time before the
,ity looks favorably on arbitration pro-
1osals.

been presented to the federal authori-
ties and the committee went into execu-

with the document.
The committee decided to file the pc
tition from the Occur d'Alenes with

sentative Dick continued the examination |

of a prisoner, johnson, the governor said
that on investigation he learned that it
was case of suicide of an insane man.
As to the charge of dying prisoner be-
ing refused spiritual communication, the
governor said investigation of the story
proved it false. The governor denied the
charge that men were subjected to vile
and inhuman imprisonment.

Bryan's Trip.

William ]. Bryan made March 80
memorable in the political and popular
history of eastern Washington by ad-

ing an assemblage of $4,000 people in
Spokane.

hours and fifteen minutes, and deliver
ed the most magnificently partisan-pat-
riotic address ever made in the North
west. In the evening he talked for an
hour and thirty minutes to a crowd
greater in size by one-third than the
one which listened to his earlier
speech.
The evening throng was the biggest
ever assembled in Spokane. The main
exposition tent, capable of roofing H.
600 people, was used for both occasions.
1t was not spacious enough to hold the
night crowd, which overlooked till a
dense ring of people many rows deep
fringed the whole circumference of the
tent.
Those who heard Bryan in Spokane
came from all sections, cities and towns
of the Inland Empire.
He departed Immediately after his
evening address on special train for
the west side of the state, where he will
make several addresses in the princi- /
pal cities, thence to return to Califor-
mia.

THE LEGAL STATUS,

Law officer MagOOn on Our New Is
land Possessions.
Judge Magoon, law officer of the division
OF insular affairs, War Department. has
given an opinion on the question of the
legal status of the new island possessions
of the United States which has attracted
considerable attention on ACCOUNT of thz
pending consideration of the case of Porto
Rico.
Mr.. Magoon believes Congress and the ex-
ecutlve must determine whether the bound
aries of the United States shall be extended
to include any or all of the islands of Port,,
Rico, the Philippines and Guam. Wherever
the sovereignty of the United States may
be asserted he says, 1.-The Congress of the
United States may prescribe the ways and
means. the manner and methods, by which
such sovereignty is to be asserted. The
right OF Congress to create extra-territorial
legislation is based upon the fact that a
citizen OF the United States passing without
our territorial boundaries is not thereby di-
vested of the allegiance he owes to his Cow
eminent or the privileges and oblieat lions
arising therefrom."
Mr.. MaSoon denies that the inhabitants of
the Islands are citizens of the United States.
thougn ne says they are entitled to call
upon this government to protect them in
their rights Of property and person. to pra-
serve the public peace, maintain law and
order and prevent Entertainments upon the
territory by foreign nations. CorrelatiyeIy
the inhabitants owe allegiance to the SOW
ereignty and obedience to the laws where
by the sovereignty undertakes to discharge
the obligation. The sovereignty and juris-
diction of the United States having attached
to the islands, persons continuing therein
are subject to the laws put In force therein
by the United States. without regard to
their citizenship, with such exceptions as
are in force in other territory suject to the
jurisdiction of the United States
ut seems inc0htrovertible," says Mr.. Ma
COON, that the unorganized territory of the
United States Is not bound and benefited by
the Constitution and laws of the United
States until Congress has made appropriate
provisions therefor. And if Congress shall
by appropriate action extend the territorial
boundaries Of the United States to include
the islands acquired by the nation during
the late war with Spain, and thereafter con-
tinue said islands in the condition of unor-
gained territory governed by the soyer-
eign powers OF the nation, the exercise of
said sovereign powers will not be directed
limited or controlled by the expressed pro-
visions of the Constitution.
Throughout our entire history Congress
has adhered to the doctrine that the great
powers and appurtenant rights created and
conferred by the Constitution were not in
herent to all people. but were to be be-
slowed upon them"
