THE Eoston correspondent to the Balti'
more .Sm. concerning the prosperity Of
Talbot county for the year just ended,
says:
"Easlon merchants gave more atten.
ton to local newspaper advertising last
year than usual. and as rule they claim
to be we'll satisfied with the result. One
merchant. who had done no newspaper
advertising for several years. during the
last six months of 1899 took each week
SO inches of advertising space in every
newspaper published in the county, and
there are FIVE OF them. He carefully
watched results and compared sales. and
is so well satisfied that he will resume
advertising in the spring on as large a
scale"

Of r. per cent Of jhe Diugley law rates,
probably with am amendment admitting
products from the United States free into
Porto Rico. The committee Of seven VIII,
aa "a fact act as a board OF canvassers 10
make an official poll OF the Senate rather
than as C0mpromEers
Senator Allison stated i'm open Senate yes
terday that the Republicans proposed to
pass the House bill and there seems little
doubt now that this will be done as mat
ter Of party policy. Il is thought that
there are not more than seven or eight Re
publican Senators who will adhere 10 the
free trade policy. and as the whole number
is fifty-two they could lose eight and still
have enough TO pass the House bill. II is
claimed. moreover. that there are two or
three men on the Democratic side Of the
chamber including Mr. McEnery Of Louis
lana. and counting Mr. Teller as Demo
Crat who have given assurances that IL
their votes are necessary they viii be given
for the proposition to maintain tarit
against Porto Rico.
Al that the committee OF seven has to
do is 10 get the pledges OF the forty-four al
the ffty-two Republican Senators to stand
by the House bill. and when this Is ac-
complished it will be promptly passed.
When the committee Of seven have sue
ceeded IN solidifying the party in the Sen
ate in support Of the House bill they will
announce the result of their work and a
party caucus will be called at once to ratity
il. Then the House bill, probably amended
as suggested above. will be passed as a sep
arate measure. il the Senate is not then
ready TO vote on the Foraker bill. In the
mean time that measure. which provides
for a form of government for Porto Rico,
will be the unfinished business in the Sen
ate and general debate will be continued
upon it until a vote can be had. When this
viii hn nnhodN seems 30 know.
