was adopted:

| dian affairs be directed to inquire into
the truth of these allegations and report
to the senate"
When morning business had been fin
ished, Mr.. Sullivan (AIiss.) took the floor
to deliver his announced speech on our
relations with the Philippines, but at the
request of Mr.. Allison yielded for imme-
diate consideration of the bill appropri-
ating for the benefit and government of
Porto Rico revenues collected on importa-
tions therefrom.
Mr.. Jones CArk.) offered the following
substitute for the bill:
That all duties collected to this date
upon articles imported into the United
States from Porto Rico since the 11th
day of April, 1899, the date of the cx-
change of notifications of the treaty of
peace between Spain and the United
States, be returned to the persons from
whom they were collected, and from and
after the passage Of this act no duties
shall be collected on articles coming from
Porto Rico"
