THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Delay in Consideration said to BE
Due to the President.


It was said in the House yesterday that
the Nicaragua Canal bill would not be con-
sidered at this session Of Congress. GER
tainly not until after the Hay Pauncefote
Treaty had been disposed of in the Senate,
and there is no assurance. or prospect even.
that final action will be taken By that body
in the near future. This is very radical
change from the sentiment prevailing last
week. and is said to be due to the argu-
ments Of President Mckinley at the time
he was conferring with the House leaders
last week over the Porto Rican situation.
resulting tnen in the message to Congress
recommending the Passage OF the bill ap-
propriating customs receipts on Porto
Rican goods collected since October 1 for
the benefit OF the people Of that island.
Mr.. Mckinley pointed out. it is said the
embarrassment and complications that
would inevitably attend a discussion OF the
canal question IN the House while the
treaty was pending IN the Senate-embar-
TassmeHt and complications. he said. which
involved the ,ast interests Of the whole
party.
Last week the belief that the bill would
speedily be brought before the House was
so strong that Mr. Loud. asking for a
date for the consideration OF his bill to
regulate second-class mail matter, was in-
duced to change the day from the 18th to
the goth instant. at the request OF Mr. Hep
burn Of Iowa. author and in charge Of the
Canal bill. who stated that he expected
an order from the Committee on Rules to
take up his measure on the 18th and no
one challenged the probability Of The state
menJ.
Members Of the Committee on Rules de-
cline to speak on the matter further than
10 say that no such order has been
acted on.

THE PORTO RICAN Bull.
senator Davis Proposes Free Trade
Amendments.


Mr.. Davis yesterday offered in the Sem
ate the following amendment to the Porto
Rican bill
And it is hereby enacted that all duties,
imposts, and excuses imposed or levied, laid
or collected by Congress upon Porto Rico,
or any products or business thereof. or in
relation TO said Porto Rico. shall be uni
form with all duties. imposts, and excises
laid and collected throughout the United
States:
That no capitation or other direct tax
shall be laid by Congress in or upon Porto
Rico. unless in proportion to the census or
enumeration directed to be taken by the
Constitution.
That no tax or duty shall be laid on ar
ticles exported from Porto Rico.
That no preference shall be given by
any regulation Of commerce or revenue to
the ports Of Porto Rico over those Of any
State Of the Union. nor shall vessels bound
10 or from Porto Rico be obliged to enter.
clear. or pay duties In any State of the
Union.
Nor shall any preference be given by
any regulation of commerce or revenue to
the ports Of any State Of the Union over
those Of Porto Rico. nor shall vessels bound
TO or from the ports of any State Of the
Union be obliged to enter, clear. or pay du-
ties in any port Of Porto Rico
The effect of this amendment would be
to have the tariff laws of the United
States applied to Porto Rico in so far as
they relate to goods imported from foreign
countries but to allow absolute free trade
between the United States and the island.
Mr.. Davis also submitted the following.
with the request that II be added to the
Porto Rican bill as a separate section:
For the purposes Of this act the follow
ing provisions Of the Constitution Of the
United States are hereby extended and
made applicable to Porto Rico.
The Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties. imposts. and eN
cises. to pay the debts and provide for the
common defence and general welfare Of the
United States; but all duties. imposts. ana
excises shall be uniform throughout the
United States.
No capitation or other direct tax shall
be laid. unless in proportion TO the census
or enumeration hereinbefore directed to Be
taken.
No tax or duty shall be given by any
regulation OF commerce or revenue to the
ports Of one State ever those of another;
nor shall vessels bound to or from one
State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay
duties in another
When he submitted the amendments Mr..
Davis said that they spoke for themselves
and needed no explanation. They extend
the Constitution over Porto Rico in such q
way as not to establish a precedent for
the Philippines and other territorial pos
sessions. and imply that it cannot be ex-
tended to them except by legislative enact

4 Rumor That He Had Been Located
Proves Untrue

haA
Information received yesterday after
noon at Police Headquarters led Inspector
Boardman to desnatch two detectives to
Gaithersburg, Md, where It was reported
that John Braxton, colored. who is sus
pected OF forcing an entrance 70 The laun-
dry of Moy Sing at the ccrner Of Tenth

Detectives F1athers and " 'er we're as
signed to the case and lcff city late in

then driving into the upp-. end of Mont
gomery county about twenty miles. The
officers were furnished with Information
as to the alleged Whereabouts Of Braxton,
but after vigorous search we're unable to
locate him. and last night returned to this
city. Later developments in the case are
said to exonerate the negro, who is now
believed to have been away from the city
when the burglary and shooting OF Moy
Sing took place.
At the Homeopathic Hospital last night
it was reported that Moy Sing was much
improved. He is still in a serious condi-
tion and no attempt has yet been made 10

noon and with slight difficulty the ball was

results will ehsue from its presence Ia
the back for the time being and no opera
tion for its removal viii be undertaken as
yet.
The investigation and pursuit of BraZton
is said TO have developed the alleged fact
that he recently escaped from the House
of Correction in Baltimore and is also
wanted in this city on a charge OF larceny
No further steps Will be taken to capture
