The republican members of the ways and
means committee, to which the bill was re-
ferred, discussed it at several secret meet
ings and today decided to favor a substitute
which will be offered when the bill comes up
for discussion in the full committee tomor-
row.
This substitute provides that the tariff
of Puerto Rico against goods from foreign
countries, except the United States, shall
be the same as that against goods entering
the United States from such countries. but
that goods imported into the United States
from Puerto Rico or from the United States
into Puerto Rico shall pay % per cent OF the
tariff upon foreign goods. That is, between
Puerto Rico and the United States there
shall be a horizontal reduction of 70 per
cent in the tariff.
The substitute also provides that the
revenue from such tariff duties shall be
used to defray the expense of administration
in the island. The action of the republic
ans today amounts to a decision that the
section of the constitution above referred to,
which has been the subject, of a special in
Nestigation by a committee OF the ways and
means committee for several weeks, does
not apply to our insular possessions and that
the constitution Of the United States does
not extend over them.

Pratt City, November 2.-(Special)-A general feeling of contentment seems to have taken possession of the citizens of Pratt City. The merchants are doing a good business, while the mines and mills afford plenty of labor to the workers. The mines are working full time, with good prospects that this condition will continue for some time toicome. And the same can be said of nearly every other line of busl- ness in this busy little city. Great satis- faction is manifested on all sides at the completion of the new water works. All ready business houses and individuals are making inquiry regarding rates, etc., pre- paratory to taking advantage of same.
 One very striking incident of prosperity Is the absence of vacant houses. There is always a steady demand for houses to rent, and many of the new and pretty ones now in course of erection have long since been spoken for This is all the more re- markable since the street car service be- tween Birmingham and Pratt City, which is well patronized, is about as perfect as one could wish for, but even that acts as very little inducement the people evidently being well satisfied to remain in Pratt City.
