Debate on the Porto Rican Tariff
Bill Id the House Now at
an End.
Doctrine Of the Minority the Doc
mine a dyocated BY Abraham
Lincoln.
Conn olnise Agreed to in Repub-
lican Caucus Will Probably y
Be Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb s8. The last day
of the general debate on the Porto Rico
tariff bill opened in the house with a 20
minutes speech by Mr.. Carmack (Tenn.)
in opposition to the bill. The a1terna-
tive presented by the bill, he said, was
the aband donment Of our priceless prin-
ciples or Of our new possessions. The
country had been dazzled with the gor-
geons picture of empire, yet at the very
Threshold Of the new departure, he
said, gentlemen on the other side had
been appalled, lest the trade which they
had looked at with coVetous eyes would
bring ruin and destruction to American
labor. Therefore the new possessions
were to become colonies and be turned
over to carpetbagger adYenturers. He
said that Mr.. Grosvenor the other day
had displayed dense ignorance when he
had declared that this was the battle Of
1860 over again. He read from the Re-
publican platform Of 1860 to show that
it set up the very contention maintained
by the Democrats now that the consti-
tuition was supreme in the territories
and extended over every foot Of ground
over which the United States had juris-
| diction
tsThat was the doctrine Of the Repub-
| ican party and Abraham Lincoln, = said
he, s.and we. stand here to defend the
theory that slavery and political despot-
ism cannot be imposed within the juris-
diction of our country; that life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness are the In
| alienable rights of all within our iuris-
dicdon. Z. s.ss
I A Letter From Payne.
Mr.. Clayton, (Ala.) who followed Mr..
Carmack, created much amusement and
enthusiasm by reading letter written
by Chairman Payne to w. H. Curtis of
Palmyra, N. Y, Jan. "a, 1900, in which
he advocated free trade with Porto Rico
on the ground that it would give relief
to the stricken island The letter also
contained the following reference to the
Philippines: s
ssUnder the treaty the Philippine
islands are to have free trade with Spain
for 10 years. We could not extend these
tariff laws to the Philippine islands even
If we would . EsE
Kleberg (Tex.), Pearce (Tenn.) and
De Almond (Mo.) also opposed the bill.
Cannon llls.) for the Republican
side, charged that both the tobacco and
sugar stored in Porto Rico was owned
by the sugar and tobacco trusts They
had put forward some natives as stool
pigeons to beg for free trade, so that
while the Democrats cried out against
the trusts they would be voting for
them. s @-..s+3s L y 80

Supreme Court Holds City Council Not Re-.
strainable as to Legislation. \:
h MILWAUKEE, Feb. 28.--A Journal
special from Madison, Wis, says: The
supreme court has handed down a de-
$cision quashins the contempt proceed:
ings against the mayor, city clerk and
% aldermen Of the city Of milwaukee,
for passing and approving the street
railway ordinance after they had been
enjoined from doing SO By. the superior
court.
MILwAUKEE, Feb. %. The decision
of the supreme court at Madison,
whereby the contempt cases against city
officials are quashed is looked upon as
establishing the validity Of the ordi-
nance, holding in substance that court
Of equity has not the power to enjoin a
legislative body, which the city council
was held to be.
While the street railway ordinance
was up for passage, many mass meet
ings were held at which the measure
was denounced in severe terms, and as
a last resort the citizens movement OBJ
tanned an injunction which was served
on the mayor and city council, restrain.
ing those officials from enacting the or.
dinance. In spite of this, 90 of the 4s
members of thW council passed the ordi
nance on Jan. 2, and it was Immediately
signed by the mayor and put in effect
by the street railway company. The
measure calls for 4-cent fare certain
hours morning and evening for years
when a 4-cent fare will rule all day
The old franchise and certain new one!
are extended 10 years from 1924.

RAILWAYS MISHAPS.
Construction of the Sewell's
Point Line a Troublesome Job
Now That It is Completed Save for About
Three Days Work on "A Yiaduct, Another
Tic-up is Caused by Litigation-Th
Company's New Steamer.

The double track electric railway to
Sewells Point has been completed sew
eral days with the exception of about
three days work on the viaduct on De-
Bree avenue. over the tracks of the
Norfolk and Westerh Railroad. The
completion of this viaduct was estop-
ped by legal proceedings in the shape
of an injunction gotten out by Mr..
George d. Dey The court has de-
cided that Mr.. Dcy is entitled to dam
ages which the road has offered to pay,
ed yet. The officials OF the railway
company claim that Mr.. Dey is holding
back in order TO get big sum of
money for his property.
Counsel for the railroad will ask for
the appointment OF commissioners to
appraise the damage TO the property
of Mr.. Dey and other parties who have
not instituted legal proceedings.
MIR. IL. l.. LowenburG said yesterday
that the railway would have been in
operation before now but for Mr.. Dcy.
He says the company has offered to
buy MIR. Dey'S property If he would
name reasonable price, but he has
refused 10 name any price.
NEW STEAMER READY.
The company's steamer. Norfolk on
the Roads. has been completed at Bal
timore. and will be brought here as
soon as the road begins operation. y
full equipment of cars. etc, has been
secured. All motormcn, conductors,
etc. have been employed.
The pier at Sewclfs Point is said to
be equal to the one at Old Point. The
distance between the two points. which
will be covered by schedule trips by
the company's steamer, Is between
three and four miles. II Is about eight
miles and a quarter to ScwellS Point.
The proposed hotel at Sewell's Point
has not been started yet. The plans
were accepted some time ago, but the
company will have TO wait until the
road Is in operation to get the building
material at the Point.
MANY MISHAPS.
The Sewclls Point Railway people
have suffered many drawbacks in the
construction OF the road but the Off
elias are optimistic. and hope that thc
"hoodoo" on the enterprise in its in
cipicncy VIII ,anish into good luck
when the road gets actually in opera
ton. In the first place there was q
strike of the negroes employed at the
beginning III the grading of the road
bed. This caused the contractors al
most unending trouble. The corstruc-
ton company got short of funds later
on, ana work on the road was at a
standstill for several weeks. Then Il
number of mechanics liens We're filed
III the clerks Office against the COM
pary. Litigation between the contrac-
tors and sub-contractors followed.
The original grading had to he

an outlay OF considerable money, was
found TO be out OF gear with the draw.
and more extra work and expense was
