With Trinidad to Their
Tariff Measure.
HAD HOPED FOR FREE TRADE
Imposition Of Even a Fifteen
Per Cent Duty Not What
They Expected.
General Debate. on the Bill In
the House Winds Up in a
Blaze of Glory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The mem.
bers OF the several delegations from
Porto Rico now in Washington, having
read tie compromise measure adopted
at the Republican conference, have
united in a statement to congress IN
which they say that the idea and the
theory of a tariff are repugnant to them
and that they are content to stand be-
fore their people and the people. OF the
United States on the general broad
proposition that the island is entitled to
receive absolutely free commercial re-
lations at once!
They call attention to the fact that
the United States government, through
the state department, recently negoti-
ated treaty with the island of Trini-
dad in the West Indies, which is Brit
ish province and a direct competitor Of
Porto Rico, by the terms Of which
treaty Trinidad is to receive from the
United States, free Of duty, all articles
of machinery and implements and arti-
cles Of husbandry and nearly all food
supplies, the free list for Trinidad in
this treaty being larger than the list OF
articles now admitted free in Porto
Rico by executive order, all of which it
is proposed to tax under the tariff bill
now. pending in congress. The delega-
tons consider this unfair.

IN A BLAZE OF GLORY.

General Debate on the Porta Rican Tariff
Bill Closes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The general
debate on the Porto Rico tariff bill
closed in blaze Of glory. The galleries
were banked to the doors and every seat
on the floor was occupied when the rival
champions of the respective sides, Mr.,
Dolliver of Iowa and Mr.. Bailey of
Texas, made their arguments. Each
spoke for an hour and half. The
speech Of Mr.. Bailey, devoted as it was
almost to the legal phases Of the COLI
troversy, while it was profound and
impressive, did not cause the unbounded
emotion which swept the galleries and
floors when Mr.. Deliver was speaking.
The 1owan was at his best and his wit,
elcquence aud sarcasm drew salvos Of
applause from his Republican associ-
ates. Before those closing speeches
were made Mr.. Cannon of Illinois spoke
in support of the bill and Messrs. Car
mack (Dem.), Peyton Dem, Ala.),
Kleberg Dem., Tex.), Pearce and De
Almond Dem., No. in opposition.

would race down the current with u swift

the phagocyte would shorten and. as it
seemed to me. retreat into the white

with it. Sometimes a phagocyte would
grow facetious and would bump against
a poor germ as though shouldering him
out Of the road. Away would 20 the poor
