MANY AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.
DAY OF INFORMAL CONFERENCES on
THE PUERTO RICAN BILL.

Washington. March Ii (speciaD.-when the
Senate met this morning the situation in regard
to the pending Puerto Rican legislation appeared
10 be as mixed and uncertain as il was when
that body adjourned yesterday. Leading Repub-
Ecan Senators had been in consultation most of
the forenoon and various propositions had been
discussed but no agreement was reached. One
of the propositions which found strong advo-
Gates provided that goods imported into Puerto
Rico from the United States should be exempt
from duty, and that products imported into
the United States from Puerto Rico 10 per cent
or some other percentage of the Dingley rates of
duty should be imposed. 1t argued that
Senator Hoar would support the first half of this
proposition, and that the Senators from Mime
sofa ard North Dakota would support it in it's
tirety on account Of the first half.
Chairman Payne and Messrs. Dalzel Long
and several other members of the Ways and
Means Committee; Chairman Cooper of the
Committee Insular Affairs, and many other
Republican members of the House of Represen-
tatives, came to the Senate in the course
Of the day and held conferences with individual
Senators respecting the various plans of settle
ment that had been suggested. They were es-
pecially emphatic in their disapproval of what
called the jug handle scheme to charge
the Puerto Ricans 81 600 600 or more a year
for the privilege Of selling their goods in the
United States, and the time allow free
entry of goods from the United States into
Puerto Rico AN idiotic scheme" what one
prominent representative called it. The sug-
gestton or proposition was also strongly opposed
in the informal discussions between Senator'S by
number of the more influential and expert
enced members of that body, who expressed the
opinion that il could not be satisfactorily ex-
planned or defended before the country.
So much interest did Republicans take in
these informal discussions that Senator Turner,
who delivered a carefully prepared speech in
opposition to the pending bill constitutional
as well moral grounds spoke to empty
half a dozen Senators at any time. Mr.. Turner
and his arguments reminded Of many of
the speeches delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Puerto Rican debate.
Senator Hoar proposed amendment TO the
bill so as to provide for the free admission into
Puerto Rico from the United States of fish,
fresh sailed or dried; boots and shoes, and
agricultural implements
Senator Proctor introduced an amendment
authorizing the President TO appoint officer
of the Army Navy Governor of Puerto
Rico. The President is 10 make the appoint
ment in his discretion. and confirmation by
the Senate is not required. 1t is also provided
that the appointment and service shall not ex-
tend beyond three years from the passage Of
the act.

FRENCH TREATY PROSPECTS.

FRANCE PREPARED TO EXTEND THE TINE FOR
Paris. March 13.-The French Government has
not yet received a request from Washington to
extend the time for the ratification of the COM
mercial treaty. but it is willing that more time
shall be taken if America wishes it.
It was said at the Foreign Office that France
fully appreciates the Senates complete freedom
OF action and did not in the proposed refer
ence of the treaty to the Finance Committee any
step inimieal to its prospects. On the contrary
the French Government is confident that the
same good will would be shown in the Finance as

while, however, no action will be taken here be-
cause little doubt is felt that the treaty can be
ratified in Paris in time If it's ratification is
assured in Washington.

ROCK PENETRATED IRON SIDE OF VESSEL

Philadelphia, March 13.-The German freight
steamer Brisgava, which struck a rock in the
channel of the lower Delaware River short time
ago, causing bad leak has been placed in the
League Island Navy Yard drydock for repairs.
The vessel is of iron. and is one of the largest that
came into this port, being $50 feet in length.
The drydock is 450.6 feet long so the Brisgavia
completely fills the basin. 1t is believed that it
will at least $1,000 repair the damage to the
ship. For fifty feet along the starboard side she
was crushed in like an egg shell. Her heavy iron
plates seemed to have offered resistance
TO the rock than if they had been made of paper
Not only were bolts wrenched out and seams
opened for thirty forty feet, but gaping Jagged
holes had been torn In the middle Of the thick
plates. and a man could stand erect in the cavity
that the rocks had made.
