Lansing, Mich, March 81. John
r. Hunter, of Kalamazoo. president
of the Henderson-Ames company,
which dealt with the state military
board in the alleged fraudulent cloth
ing transaction, continued his testi-
mony in the trial of eX-Inspector Gen.
eral Marsh. His evidence concerning
the deal continued to be corroborative
of the testimony of Manager Bicker-
staff, of the same concern. The COM
pany's books and checks and drafts
were also submitted in evidence.
On Hunters cross-eSamination the
defense attempted to show that the
prosecuting attorney had secured n
promise from Hunter and Bickerstaff
to testify against Gems. White and
Marsh and Col. Sutton on promise
that the Kalamazoo men would be
protected from prosecution. Mr..
Hunter swore positively that no such
promise was made. State Armorer
Tobin testified to the shipment of the
supplies to Chicago and their ship
ment again from Kalamazoo to Ian

COME TO TERMS.
The Republicans Agree Upon Plan
of Action to Settle Porto Rico
Tariff Question.

Washington, March 27.-At last the
Porto Rican question is settled. The
compromise is agreed upon, and the
republicans are harmonious once
more. All the conflicting interests
have been adjusted. The legislation
which will be agreed upon embraces
is per cent. duty on all goods sent
from the United States to Porto Rico,
except foodstuffs and the necessities
of life, which are free of duty; articles
sent from Porto Rico to the United
States, Is per cent. duty; the full
Dingley rates in Porto Rico against
countries other than the United States;
the limitation of the duty to the time
when the island needs the money;
and, finally, complete system of
local government to go into effect at
once.
Practically speaking, the compro-
mise is that suggested by the presi-
dent. 1t takes the house bill as it
finds it, with Is per cent. of the Ding
ley rate, and leaves that rate of duty
intact on all articles imported into
the United States from Porto Rico
This, of course, includes tobacco and
sugar, but in all such cases it amounts
to giving Porto Rico preference OF
IS cents over any other country.
