Mrs. Burton Harrison. In Harper's Bazaar.

what music could the hostess of the famous

FAVORED BY DAVIS.

Minnesota sensAsr Pleads for . Revenue
Tax on Porto lsico Rum and Tobacco.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The utter.
ance of Senator Davis on the Porto
Rican tariff bill is considered very i'm.
portant. His speech was comparatively
brief, but his reasoning was SO close and
cogent that he crowded into small space
an immense amount of we'll digested
information and careful thought. His
principal proposition was that the nec-
essary money to be raised by taxa
tion should not be raised by a
duty levied upon Porto Rican products
but by an internal revenue tax levied
ON rum and tobacco produced in the
island. This system, in his opinion,
would better suit the people of the
United States and those of Porto Rico
than the proposed tariff and would be
just, equitable and constitutional. In
conclusion he said:
what I say, say with the unalter.
able conviction that am right-right
politically and right economically. In
my Judgment the only course for US il
to abandon the pernicious mockery OF q
tariff between Porto Rico and the
United States and return to the path.

Assistant Secretary Davis Has = Good
Opinion Of the Beers.
New YORK, March 80 Among the
passengers on the steamer Aller. which
arrived during tie day from Genoa,
was Webster Davis. assistant secretary
of the interior department. MIR. Davis
repeated his previous denials that his
visit to the Boer republic was of an Off
cinl nature He met President Kruger
at Pretoria and was greatly impressed
by the strength of the chief executive Of
the Bocr republic. Mr.. Davis believes
that the Eoers will be able to continue
their struggle against the British for a
considerable time in spite OF recent re.
verses He had an opportunity Of per.
sonally seeing the Boer troops in action
and he spoke highly Of their soldierly
qualities and courage. Mr.. Davis said
he was well treated by the Beers. every
possible courtesy being shown him. On
his trip to Pretoria from Lourenzo Mar
ques he travelled in the private car OF
President Kruger. Mr.. Davis met the
English generals. Roberts and kitch-
ener. on the Modder river and spent
some time in their camp.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 3O.-There

was fillel with rumcrs of more arrests

that prominent man who was sup.
