hoped to receive ON Christmas, which was
close at hand. For some cause or other

little. Perhaps the prince saw how pre-

4 times 8 saddle horses or II times Il

tudy chair with his book and slate be-

PORTO RIcAM LEGISLATION.
OPPOSITION TO TARIFF BILL
GAINING STRENGTH.
Ry Telegraph 10 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

(Ry Telegraph to Virginian- PiIot)
Washington, March 23.-The Repub-
lican caucus committee of the Senate
to-day authorized Senator Foraker in
definite terms to propose the separation
of the tariff feature from the Porto
Rican governmental bill and to at
tempt to pass the House tariff bill
without amendment. The program is
10 vote down all amendments IL posi-
Bile TO do so, and pass the bill as it
comes from the House without any
changes whatever.
There was Il disposition manifested
to placate the free traders by making
various amendments TO the govern
mental bill. The tariff advocates have
gone so far as to draft amendments
to that measure which are intended
both to correct administrative defects
in the House hill and also to meet
many of the objections to the House
tariff measure. One of these amend
ments looks TO the enlargement of the
free trade list so as to include most of
the articles of export in which the con-
stituents of the free trade Senators are
nterested-There=is also proposition
looking to the entire removal of the
duty on articles from the United States
going into Porto Rico.
One member of the committee stated
that it was the purpose OF the COM
mittee to ask every day that a time be
set for taking a vote. thus placing the
responsibility for any delay that might
occur upon the free traders.
The element in the Republican ranks
in the Senate favoring free trade with
Porto Rico decided at n conference to-
day to oppose any action looking to an
early vote and to ask for further time
in CAGE the question should come up.
About ten Senators were present. They
were unanimously OF the opinion that
delay meant gains for their cause in
the public good will and in the Senate
y canvass OF the Republican Senator's
was made with the result it was
stated, that 10 could be found who
would oppose hasty action. Of these
1t was stated that ten were unalterably
opposed to a tariff on our commerce
with Porto Rico.

we arc now living, and have been since
1859. That convention was not called
into existence by the people OF Vir-
glnfa, but was created by acts of Con-
gress. In it's preamble TO the constitu-
ton. the convention proposed to the
PEOPLE, the constitution known as
the Underwood Constitution, but the
acts of Congress, creating the conven-
ton. limited the right to vote to "the
people of Virginia qualified to vote
under the provisions of said acts" Ac-
cordinGly. that constitution was sub
mitted to Il vote of the people so quail
fled on the 9th of July, 1869. and it was
ratified and became effective on and
after that day. SO that even the I'm
derwood Constitution preserved the
semblance of Difference 10 the PEOPLE
and submitted to THEM the adoption
or rejection of the instrument.
1t thus appears that. for seventy
years. the uniform and unbroken Gus
tom of submitting new constitutions to
q vote of the PEOPLE for ratification
or rejection has been observed in Vir-
ginia. Why vary or abandon this GUS
tom? ARE WE AFRAID TO TRUST
THE PEOPLE? Are the people less
capable of enlightened Judgment and
patriotic action now than heretofore?
In denying to them the right to pass
upon these vital matters, are we not
striking u fatal blow ut the fundamen-
tai basis of Il government by the peo-
pie? What harm can result from our
following the rrecedents set before us
for the last seventy years? All con-
siderations of prudence and wisdom
would seem to point to the policy of
submitting the work of the convention
to n vote of the PEOPLE for ra,Lifica-
ton or rejection. Our best safety rests
in that course.

Governor Brown made the point that
