CONGRESS.

The Senate yesterday adopted the
conference report on the Puerto Ricen
appropriation bill by almost strict
party vote, IS to Is. Mr.. TiIlman at.
tackled the report with characteristic
vigor.
As stated yesterday the republiclp
peace committee ofthe Senate authoriz
ed Senator Foraker to separate the
Puerto Ricsn tariff measure and the
governmental bill and to press or an
early vote on The former. An effort
will be made to pass the House bill IS
it came to the Senate. The committee
fears to have 1t returned with amend
ments, lest it meet defeat in the place
of its origin.
The members of the House naval
committee who insisted that the trust
price Of $546 ton should be paid for
srmor and that 1t should be provided
for the ships already constructed, for
those anthOriz I'd last year and for those
to be authorized this, year have receded
from their position and will agree to a
modified bill.

COMPROMISE REFUsED.-It is believ.
ed an agreement might have b,en
reached yesterday by the Senate com
promise committee OF seven on the
Puerto Rican tariff bill but for the blunt
refusal OF the leaders of the House OF
Representatives to listen to any propc-
sition that conte m plated the amend.
ment OF the House bill in any particu-
lar.
Senators Hale, Spooner and Warren,
representing the compromise commit.
tee, waited upon the Speaker and bis
lieutenants, and putting before them
the situation of affairs in the Senate,
asked them II 1t would be possible to
pass the bill 10 the House Il it should
be amended by increasing the list of
articles to be exempt from duty on en-.
'ering Puerto Rico, and by providing
that absolute free trade should follow
the action OF the Puerto Rcan gov
eminent 10 providing needed revenue
by internal taxation or otherwise.
The House republicans said NO"
The Senate committee therefore gave
up the fight for the day, and i, is prob
able that no serious attempt will be
made to get an agreement just at pres
ent, certainly not until next week.

THERE Is no doubt OF the fact tna'
the republican party has been thrown
into confusion by those OF It's ieadef'

tected trusts, and if the people OF 'n's
country shall prove as intelligent a.
those of any other in the world tna'
sxoosition would be sufficient OF Itself
alone to drive it ANONYMOUSLY from

nent and it's Constitution defends and
nrotso,s all it's citizens and makes them
all free and equal, and one, entitled to
all the privileges and immunities OF any
other The bold attempt of the repub-
lcsn leaders to whom reference is made
to impose a tax on exports, and there
by act the Constitution at open det'
ance, is entirely too much for intelli-
gent supporters of the Constitution to
stand. But. unfortunately, the YES
majority of America voters are not IL
teliisent. and many of those who are,
don't care whether the Constitution be
observed or infringed.

ACCORDING to official Treasury re-
norts. trade between this country and
South America has decreased, while
that between it and Mexico has greatly
increased, and that, too. though South
America hos adopted the gold standard,
while Mexico stands firmly by silver.
Facilities increase trade, not the chsr-
acter of coinage. and if the customs
houses were abolished and the ''open
door" declared for all the world-not
alone for China, this country would
soon become the store house for all
parts of the civilized globe, irrespec''
i've of the sort of money in which pay
ments would be made.
