ON PORTO RICAN BILL
Gear Says Free Trade is Desired by
Sugar and Tobacco Syndicates.

Council Bluffs, April 2.-The editor
of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil has re-
ceived a very interesting letter from
Senator Gear, which he has just made
public. It is with regard to the Porto
Rico tariff measure and the remark
able statement is made therein
that the president made mistake
when he recommended to congress
that free trade with the United States
be given TO the people of Porto Rico,
and that he now admits it. The sa-
lient part of the senator's letter is as
follows:
II do not think the Porto Ricans
themselves are fit for citizenship and
hardly think we should apply the corr
stitution to them, much less to the
Philippines. We have had several cav
cuses in the senate over the pending
bill, but have come to no conclusion
yet, but believe in the doctrine that
there is much wisdom in multitude
of council,' and i believe it will be
able to solve this matter all right in
very short time. Some of the news
papers of the country are trying 10
arouse the sentiment of the people
against us, but / do not think they
will prevail. Ihe president himself was
in error when he at first advocated free
trade in Porto Rico. and he has now
recanted and is urging the passage of
the bill as it came from the house.
1t has also been proven that most of
the sugar, tobacco and other export
products now being held on the island
is owned by the sugar and tobacco
trusts. who are anxious for the pass
age of free trade bill in order that
thev may bring their goods into this
country without the tax and reap
large benefits therefrom."

FIRST BISHOP OF SIOUX CITY.
Position seemst to Lie Between Thoma.
Lenihan mud DR.. John Carroll.

Sioux City, April 2.-It is considered
to be an assured fact that the first
bishop of Sioux City for the Catholic
church will be either Thomas Ell. Len
Than, of Cheyenne, or DR.. John Carroll,
OF Dubuque. Bishop Lenihan is suffer-
ing from heart failure, brought on by
the high altitude of Cheyenne, and ,le-
sires to be transferred.
The ->-obability now is that only one
see will be erected in Iowa, Bishop Cos
grove, Of Davenport, having changed
his mind regarding the division of the
diocese of Davenport. The raising of
the diocese of Omaha to the metropoli-
tan dignity is said to be certain, altho
action on this may be delayed year
or two. There appears to be no ques-
tion that the bishops will recommend to
Rome the erection of Il see in Sioux
City.
