 "Yes." replied MT. Allen, but we do not have to keep them. Does the senator tSpooner say they are not citizens of the United States?"
 "The senator from Wisconsin, replied MT. Spooner, lis of the opinion that they are not.'
 The, Are Coionists
 "Will the senator tell US what they are?'' inquired MT. Allen.
 'a1ney are colonlsts,' said MT Spooner. DO they owe allegiance to the United States government?" asked MT. Allen. ''Aliens," replied Mir. Spooner, "owe qualified allegiance"
 ''No" protested Mir. Allen, ''it is not al- lergiance that they owe, but obedience. You can call upon them to serve in the army oi in the navy or on juries. It is not al- legiance."
 MT. Pettus amendment was defeated, 13 to 33.
 Mir. HGndsay elf Kentucky offered an amendment, striking out the provision in section b, that the governor should par ticipate in legislation. He did not think it wise that the governors should be a part of the legislative power of the island and should at the same time nave authority to veto legislation. That, MT. Lindsay con tended, would make the governor an auto crat.
 Mr. Foraker accepted the amendment. Mir. Allen offered an amendment, the effect of which was to designate Porto Rico as a territory of the United States. 'I do not accept that amendment" said n IN. d. there a territorial form of government as such form of government is usually under- stood"
 Why not?" inquired MT. Allen
 We simply have not seen fit to give the people of Porto Rico that kind of a gov ernment,' replied MT. Foraker. By the treaty of Paris this whole matter is vested In congress. We may give them any sort of government we desire''
 Did Not Expect Answer
 In the course of a spirited colloquy be- tween MT. Allen and MT. Foraker, principal ly as to the ability of the Porto Ricans to govern themselves, and as to the reasons governing the committee in reporting a bill of that kind pending MT. Allen said he did not expect to get an answer to his question as to why the Porto Ricans were not given a territorial form of government.
 1.-The reason is," interjected Mr Foraker that we did not want to give it to them and that is reason enough. Congress is fully empowered to give them any kind of government it may deem fit.'
 MT. Allen returned to his point and de- clared his belief that there was some hid den purpose in providing 'this anomalous congressional government"
 'I resent that charge" said MT. Foraker. with evident feeling. "I deny that there is any such thing. "The senator when he speaks so is without any warrant what ever. do not know why the senator uses

sRAD5rR EET's REVIEW

New York, March 30.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 1t has been a quiet week in distributiya trade, except at some few western centers this being especially true of the dry goods business. As regards prices. the feature of the week was the strength manifested by agricultural products and provisions The adNahce In the latter, in fact are regarded Us foreshadowing an upward movement in hoIolng products, long predicted but only partially realized.
 Disquieting advices as to international complcatlons and less favorable French crop reports have furnished the basis for a slight upward movement in what Winter wheat crop advices have been. on the whole good, and have acted as balance to the stories of French damage
 corn has been strong, in sympathy with wheat and some renewal of foreign buying. aided by unsatisfactory advices as to the quality of new arrivals
 As one of the agricultural staples ootton mas weakened during the week, not because or any impairment of the statistical posi- tion, which remains very strong, but be- cause some speculative holders have got ten tired and have given ear to reports of duMness in the cotton goods demand New business in this latter line is quiet but most of the mills are heavily sold ahead and finished products have not advanced approximately much as the cruder forms. Wool has been more active bu. considerable business has been done at con- sessions.
 The demoralization In the. sugar business is clearly confined to the refining branch, because while quotations of the finished products have been lowered the heavy re- liners have been large buyers, and raw sugar has actually advanced.
 Little that is new is observable in the iron and steel trade. New business is of hand-to- o-mouth character and this might be regarded as depressing feature were it not for the fact that productions are so heavily sold ahead Bessemer pig iron Is still as strong as the foundry grades are weak, but the increase in furnace stocks of the latter is claimed to be balanced by the reduction of manufacturers supplies.
 The recent advance in leather has tended to restrict new business, but advices from the boot and shoe industry are on the whole favorable. There has been some accumua- tion of stocks of lumber and talk of over production in some states of the south, but price weakness is not as yet notable Man ufacturers and jobbers in carpets and up- holstery report a heavy seasons business booked.
 Wheat including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 2s62, ,349 against 2.9O3495 last week, and 3,9sS, ,23S on the corresponding week of 1899. Since July this season the exports of wheat aggregated 147,t ,t72, ,630 bushels against 1s4. TAO last year. and 1sO,- OCT, ,552 in iS97-'9S.

The bill to remunerate the British cable company for expenses incurred in repairing the Manila cable, cut by Admiral Dewey, which was under consideration several weeks ago, was consigned to oblivion as was the bill to re- fer to the court of claims the claims of citizens of certain border counties or Penn sylvania who suffered losses during the various<fncursions of Confederate forces into that state during the Civil war This Dill has been before congress for many years and involves about 8, 600.
 MT Mahon, of Pennsylvania, pointed out that these claims mad all been proven un- der acts of the Pennsylvania legislature. He said the claims were based upon the constitutional guarantee of the United States to protect the states aSalnsl ihNa- son
 Mr. Ray of New York, chairman of the judiciary committee, argued that the Cnlted States did not act as an insurance agent in guaranteeing the several states against invasion. He said the great, rich state of Pennsylyania should withdraw this claim and pay itself if she thought proper.
 By vote of 26 ito B the committee or dered the bill laid on the table.
 A bill was passed to refer the claim of Hiram Johnson and others for cotton burned in East Tennessee by the confeder- ate forces to the court of claims. During this coincidence, MT.
