The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1900-03-10

Washington, March 3.-Within two
hours after q special message from the
president recommending the immedi-
ate passage Of a bill to place in his
hands all the moneys collected upon
Porto Rican goods since the Spanish
evacuation of the island, to be used
for the relief of the Porto Ricans, had
been read to the house yesterday the
house had passed and sent to the sen
ate a bill to carry out the recommends
ton. Mr.. Cannon had a bill ready to
carry the presidents recommendations
into effect, and asked immediate con-
sideration for it, and this was given.
1t was only when the debate opened,
it had been agreed that twenty min
utes should be allowed on a side, that,
under the lead Of Mr.. Bailey Of Texas,
the Democrats began lining up against
the bill because it placed no limitation
upon the presidents discretion in the
use of the money. The bill was
passed by a vote Of 1852 to 1O7, 13 Dem
ocrats, 2 Populists and 2 Silver Re-
publicans voting with the Republic
ans in the affirmative.
The Message.
ITO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives: Since the evacuation Of Porto Rico
by the Spanish forces on the 18th day of
October, 1893, the United States has COL
lected on products coming from that
island to the ports of the United States.
the duties fixed by the Dingley act and
amounting to 1905. 49, IS. n will con-
tinue to collect under said law until con-
gress shall otherwise direct. Although
I had the power. n having in mind the,
best interests Of the people of the island,
used it, to modify duties on goods and
products entering into Porto Rico, I did
not have the power to remit or modify
duties on Porto Rican products coming
into the ports Of the United States. In:
view Of the pressing necessity for i'm
mediate revenue in Porto Rico for con-
Quoting the government there, and for the
extension Of puv44c education and in view
also of the provisional legislation just in
augurated by the house Of representatives.
and for the purpose Of making the princi-
pie embodied in that legislation applicable
to the immediate past as well as to the
immediate future, I recommend that the
above sum SO collected and the sums
hereafter collected under existing laws,
shall, without waiting for the enactment
Of the general legislation now pending,
be appropriated for the use M benefit
Of the island. William Mckinley. -

England has more battleships and
cruisers than France and Russia COM
bined and more than Germany, Italy,
United States and Japan combined. In
torpedo boats she is inferior to France
and but little superior to Russia. The
Australians want to have a little navy,
but objection Is raised to this in Eng
land on the ground that the colonists
would next insist upon having a voice
in the disposition of the British feet
and might not be disposed to take a
hand in all of the imperial wars.

A young minister who did not scru-
pie to fish for compliments was once
invited to take dinner with an old
elder, as reticent as they make them.
Manipulate the conversation as he
would, the young man could not get
his host to say Sermon" and at last
he boldly introduced the important
subject by remarking directly, "That
was a fine text I had to-day" But the
elder knew his man. "Ou. ay, there's
naething wrang WI the text"

saying: Dear John-I have gone away
