PUERTO RICAN TARIFF.
The Senate Bill Passed the House
by Isl to l53.
NINE REPUBLICANS AGAINST IT.

Mr.. sibley the Only Member Elected
as Democrat VINO Voted For the
Measure Outright-The Pacinc Ca
BILE BiIi Passed by the SENATE.
Washington, April ~. The long and
bitter struggle over the Puerto Rican
tariff bill ended yesterday when the
house, by vote of 161 to 1853, concur
red in all the senate amendments. The
bill now requires only the signature of
the speaker of the house and the presi-
dent of the senate before going to the
president for his approval. These
signatures were attached today, and
before nightfalf the bill probably will
be law. AS the bill originally pass
ed the house 1t was a simple bill, inn
posing 10 per cent of the Dingley rates
on goods going into Puerto Rico from
the United States and coming from
Puerto Rico into the United States. As
amended by the senate and agreed to
by the house all restrictions on goods
coming into the United States from
Puerto Rico are eliminated and GER
tain foodstuffs and other articles
which heretofore have gone into
Puerto Rico free by executive order are
excluded from the operation Of the 10
per cent duty imposed on goods enter
ing the island from the United States.
A complete scheme of civil government
for the island is also attached to the
measure.
Upon the final vote nine Republicans
voted against the bill-Messrs. Heat
woIe of Minnesota, Crumpacker Of In
diana, Lane of Iowa, Littlefield of
Maine, Mccall of Massachusetts, H. G..
Smith of Michigan, Waner of Illinois,
Fletcher of Maine and Lorimer of
Illinois. Two Democrats, Messrs.
Davey and Meyer, of Louisiana, were
paired with Democrats in favor of the
bill and one Democrat, Mr.. Sibley of
Pennsylvania, voted for it outright.
Mr. Deyries, the other Democrat, who
voted for the original bill, yesterday
voted against concurrence. Mr.. STALL
ings (Dem., Ala.) was the only member
on either side absent and impaired.
The vote came at o'clock after a
very interesting and at times exciting
debate of five hours, which covered
not only the bill, but the special order
under which the house acted.
One VI tHS ulOSL uTdIudllC features
of the day was the reading by Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, of the
original opinion of Charles E. Ma

partment, in favor of the view that
the constitution extended over Puerto

lawyer at the head of the war depart

With little debate of Importance the
senate yesterday passed the Pacific
cable bill, a measure appropriating 49,
100000 for the construction of cable
line between San Francisco and Homo
lulu. The bill was unanimously re-
ported by the committee on naval af-
fairs, and that it was passed without
serious objection is regarded as a COM
pliment to the committee. During the
greater part of the session the dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
was under consideration. AS passed it
carries nearly $8,O00,0OO.

Spring and Summer Shoes
Are Ready

Are Ready
Our spring and summer
Shoes are here; and this in
cludes even the summeriest of
the sporting shoes for both
men and women, big and lit
tie. The shoe-store is decked
out in its prettiest and the
newest kinds of shoes are in
the windows and show cases.
What they are is a story for
another day-skip the story
and come instead.
This shoe-store is different
from every other in the coun-
try--in the world-because of
this:
We do not buy shoes; we do
not make them. We plan
shoes.
We are known to the leather
people as the largest shoe
users. Each is anxious to have
US use his leather. The head
of our shoes knows leather
better than most manufacture
ers; and SO we have the pick
of the leather market.
More than this, a maker
says to his leather-man, &
want some leather for about
cents. The leather-man
shows some. But this is for
Wanamaker's." And he gets
better leather. 1t is a fine
thing to have friends at court.
Next step is the making.
We keep our hands on that
too. From beginning to end
it is our shoe.
We don't look at a maker
sample and tell him we want
SO many shoes like that. We
are never satisfied with a sam
pie. 1t always costs too much
or isn't good enough. We tell
the maker how to make it
right.
That sounds as if we "knew
it all. Remember, please,
that our shoe man is our a0e,
and he knows enough to tell
the best makers how to make
their shoes better and for less
money.
Another reason why we are
different is: our profits are
small.
Another: we have no preju-
dices. Where handmade is
better, we use it; where ma
chine is better, we use that.
Well even make your shoes
to order, if you like, and charge
you more than they are worth.
But, if you want our advice, it
is this:
Go to a good shoe-store;
put yourself in the hands of a
good salesman; tell him about
how much you want to pay;
and let him use his knowledge
and his stock of shoes to your
best advantage. If you come
here, there'll be a hundred
different kinds and styles of
shoes; if you go somewhere
else, there'll be less.
You save money here, get
only good shoes, and your
money back if they're not
right.
That's all there is to it.
