took /, chance on placing 500 600 policy

to So. 500 for which Mr. MacLaren forthwith
gave check. This check was afterward
cashed in Ottawa by the Bank of Ottawa

Mr. MacLaren discovered that the contract
as stated in the policy differed in terms

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
Senntors Elkins and Piatt Arc in
sympathy With the Measure.

win the MEASURE
Two of the Senators who will be promi-
nent during the coming session were call
ers at the White House yesterday. They
were Senators Elkins and Platt of New
York. Both of these gentlemen agreed
that the coming session would be very
busy one, and that the important meas
ures to be considered were the Ship Sub
sidy. Army Reorganization, Revenue Re-
duction, and Nicaragua Canal bills.
Speaking Of the matter. Senator Elkins
said:
The first bill l want to see passed is
the 1sthmian Canal bill. want to see the
canal built by American capital and con-
trolled by the United States. | am not in
favor of any treaty that will obstruct its
passage The canal is necessary for our
own protection and do not advocate either
route, but am willing to accept the judg
ment of the commission appointed to inves-
tigate the matter. In my opinion these
men are better qualified to pass judgment
on the question of the best route than the
Senate. l do not know what the report
recommends but l understand that it is
in the hands OF the President.
Congress, l believe, will pass the Ship
Subsidy bill. The country needs more
ships and l understand that it has been
impossible for our shippers to secure ves-
sells to carry abroad the goods actually
engaged to fill orders.''
In the same connection Senator Platt
said: II am in favor of the Nicara guam
route for a waterway across the isthmus.
and l shall work for the passage of such
bill, and believe a measure providing
for ditch will pass during the coming
session. The Ship Subsidy bill will also
be of great benefit to American shippers,
and l think the measure will be adopted
in its present form

would be impossible to conclude a treaty
between the United States and Nicaragua

Convention, which was laid before the
Senate at the last session. but has never

Porto Ricsn immigrants, who arrived here
Thursday night on the Arradia, under
contract to work on sugar plantations in
Hawaii. were allowed to land yesterday,
and took a special train for San Francis
CO. No restrictions were placed on them.
nor were they required to give bond, as
Cinnamon do when passing through the
country.
The immigration authorities took the po-
sition that the Porto Ricans are people OF
the United States, and therefore not sub
feet to the restrictions placed on foreign
Immigrants by the immigration law. which
shuts out all contract labor. 1t was ad-
mitied that the Porto Ricans came to this
country under contract. and the only issue
was as to their rights as American citizens.
The immigration Bureau has decided this
in their favor.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-03-01

The rank and file Of the republican
party is opposed to the proposed tariff
on Porto Rico imports. While they,
may in some manner compete with.
products Of the United States, they
will be placed generally cheaper in the
hands Of the consumers, and the only
industries that will be affected are
large enough and wealthy enough to
Withstand competition. Having de-
stroyed the Spanish market for Porto
sRican goods, it is the duty Of the
United States to give the island am
other free market. Porto Rico is as
much part Of the United States as
any Of the territories, and there should
be free trade between them all. Il
there is not enough revenue for the
payment of governmental expenses in
Porto Rico, let the government make
an appropriation therefor. But Porto
Rico should have a free market in the
United States.
