REASON WHY PORTO RICANS MUST
SUFFER INJUSTICE.
Speaker Henderson Writes Another
Letter on the Subject to q
Friend.

CHICAGO, March 31.-A special to the
Times-Herald from ST. Paul says:
Speaker Henderson has followed up his
letter to an Iowa constituent, scoring the
Senate and the opponents of the Porto
Rican tariff, with a second communication
on the same subject, this time to a friend
in Minnesota. The Speaker alludes to The
10, 100000 savages in the Philippines and
makes plain the assertion that the main
thing the tariff men are fighting for is to
establish the power of Congress to rule the
so-called colonies outside of the Constitu-
ton. He writes:
1T is very important to have established
the doctrine that we can treat our new pos
sessions in such cases as may seem best to
the government, consulting its interests and
the interests of the possessions that we are
bound to take care of. The fighting against
the Porto Rican bill comes from greater in
terests. that are not disturbed SO much by
the trade with Porto Rico. but who want
free trade with the 1OOOO,OOO of sayages in
the Philippines

Contrary to predictions. there was no
dnnculty in maintaining the four guns in
the supermposed turre:s in parallel; the
shots were delivered almost in one spot.
Owing to n fault in the electrical connec-
tions, which can easily be remedied, it was
not possible to discharge more than three
of the guns together, but the three shots
at 1000 yards dropped in the same place
in the water.
No trouble was experienced with the
turning devices and other mechanism /;
everything worked with perfect smooth
ness. The same was true, according to Ad-
miral Sampson, of the kearsarge as a
whole; everything, boilers. engines, steer

CONSPIRACY IN BRAZIL.
Army Officers Planned to Overthrow
the Republic.

An official of the State Department has
furnished some Interesting details in re-
gard to the recent attempt of a clique of
Brazilian army officers to incite revolu-
tion and establish monarchal government
in Brazil.
The plan of action, the official says, was
to create a military riot in front of the
presidents palace, during which President
Campos Sellas was to be assassinated an
officer of the revolutionary band declared
ruler and Brazil proclaimed a monarchy.
1t seems. however, that, owing to informa-
ton furnished by an army officer fully cog
infant of the brewing conspiracy, the pres
ident was at all times fully aware of the
plans and progress of the revoIutionists.
Two very prominent generals of the Bra
lillian army were involved in the plot but,
except for their small following, the army
stood firm for the president, and the pro-
3ect came to naught but punishment for
the conspirators.
