The real principle involved in the Por
t. R'can bill is not the amount OF the
tariff to be levied. but the question OF
constitutional government after the idea
OF the old American republic that has
existed heretofore or Imperialism. pure
and simple. This is about tire last step
necessary to clinch imperialism upon
this country and the imperialist wing OF
the republican party would concede a
tariff Of only per cent, for only two
,yeare, if they could only establish the
principle at this time. They could at
tend to the supreme court during these
two years. 1t is to the credit OF the "a.
ton that perhaps even enough republi.
cans see the extremity to which they
are being led and will resist the imperial
bill even to its entire defeat. This ia
the only safe course to retain our repu5.

Changes Which Republicans Claim viii
Pass the Porto Rico Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Republi-
can leaders after an hours consultation
with Speaker Henderson over the Porto
Rican tariff bill, announced emphati-
cally that the bill would be modified.
and that as modified, it would pass. The
changes decided upon are a further re-
duction on the duties to be levied unon
American goods to be imported into
Porto Rico, and upon Porto Rican goods
into the United States from % per cent
OF the American tariff, as provided in
the bill, to 10 per cent. The bill is only
to continue in force until a general law
for raising revenue for the island can be
framed. Representative Tawney Of
Minnesota, the Republican whip. after
canvassing the situation, said that onlv
five Republican votes would be cast
against the compromise measure.

The agreement arrived at by the re-

Chicago just before the Huron commit
tee meeting, has now been made public.
Congressman Gamble will not stand for
reelection, but will become the republic
can candidate for the United States sen
ate it the republicans carry the leRisla-
ture. Mr.. Gamble is to stump the state
and aid in this achievement. This does
not by any meane, however, insure Mr.
CANDLES election to the senate. The
capturing of the Legislature is not an
assured fact by a long shot, and if it
we're. there are still kopjea. to be taken.
The Black Hills republicans, like many
others on the east side, are disguised
with Mr.. CANDLES past attitude in poll
tics and have a warm feeling for him the
wrong way for his success. In fact they
have now decided on a man of their
own. The Daily Pioneer-Times OF
Deadwood, the leading republican organ
OF the Hills, says:
"Mr. Gamble has sinned away his day
OF senatorial grace. He has slept on his
senatorial rights, il he ever had any.
For more than a year the republicans OF
the Black Hills have importuned him to
express his desires or let them know
where he was at. He heeitated. Now
we have a senatorial candidate OF our
own, one on whom the Black Hills coun-
ties rave united and We are going to as
eert our rights without waiting for the
consent OF any other nation or individ-
ual. With f. w. Martin rs our csndi-

markable Sentiments.
KIMBERLEY, Saturday, Feb. 24.-Mr
Cecil Rhodes, presiding at a meeting OF
the De Beers company, delivered a re-.
markable speech, which was received
with enthusiasm.
After announcing that the years
profits of the De Beers company
amounted to e2, OOO, 900, he spoke of the
Chartered company's transactions with
the De Beers and said that shareholders
were divided into two classes, imagina.
tive and un~imaginative. The latter, he
said, passed their lives filling money
bags that are dissipated by their off.
spring on wine and women and horses.
To the latter class he stated that the
transaction with the Chartered com.
pany had closed satisfactorily, as the
De Beers company owned all the dia.
monds wherever its charter existed. TIC
the imaginative, he drew an eloquent
picture OF these mines 100 years hence,
as mirroring European civilization in
the far South.
"The latter, he said, ''feel a glow OF
satisfaction at the thought that the i'm.
mense riches taken from the soil have
not been merely devoted to the decora.
ton of the fair sex"
Speaking of the war he considered il
q puzzle why it had arisen.

ASKEDF0RDELA
Majority Asks More Time for
Debate on the Porto Rican
Tariff Bill.
Minority Agrees, but in So Doing
Secures Some Important
Concessions.
Mr.. Richardson Takes Occasion
to Make a Few Caustic
Comments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The house
met at II o'clock to resume the debate
on the Porto Rican tariff bill. There
were few members upon the floor, but
the leaders on both sides were active.
MI. Payne IN. W, the floor leader, an
nounced that no compromise had been
made with the dissatisfied Republicans,
and that there would be a further con-
ference. The leaders have decided to
extend the general debate another day.
When Mr.. Payne presented the request
for the extension Of time, Mr.. Richard
son, the Democratic leader, said:
"This is a remarkable request to come
from the majority. We construe it to
be a frank and candid confession that
they have brought here a bad bill and
an admission in open house to the coun.
try that they have not votes enough to
pass it,"
Democrats Always Magnanimous.
The Democrats, he continued, were
always magnanimous. They would not
strike their foes when they were down
and they were not disposed to take ad-
vantage of the situation on the other
side of the aisle. Still, they felt that
some terms should be imposed and he
demanded as conditions to an extension
one night session and permission to
offer a substitute in the house when the
final vote was taken. "With these con-
ditions," he remarked blandly, "the
minority would grant the '~entreaty' Of
the majority"
Mr.. Payne smilingly replied that he
appreciated the generosity Of the
other side, and not to be outdone in
magnanimity, he would agree to the
conditions.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.) then took the floor
with a half hours speech against the
bill. He laid down as an elementary
principle of international law that when
ever a country, whether empire, mon
archy or republic, "cquired territory by
conquest, purchase or treaty, that terri
tory became a part Of such country and
subject to her laws.
There was consolation, he said. for
those who believed this bill was uncon-
st%itutional.
Whatever this congress might do,
however, they might trim down, shade
or override the sections of the Constitu-
ton, there was a court which was the
greatest that ever sat upon a bench and
would, if guided by prior decisions Of
that grand tribunal, hold to the indie
structible principles Of the Constitution,
which were our only safety and hope for
the perpetuation Of the republic.
Mr.. Lanham (Tex.) in opposing the
bill, declared that the Porto Ricans were
either Americans or were aliens. There
could be no such a thing as separating
and dividing the immunities and privi-
leges Of American citizenship. The in
Eabitants of the island, he insisted. were
entitled to unrestricted free trade with
the United States. If an imperial policy
was set up, it could but end in the
downfall of the republic.
