The statement is now made that the Op
ton offered to the United States for the
purchase OF the territory will continue only
as long as the present session OF Con
sress. but the statement is not absolutely
c0nhrmed. Incidentally. it is held that the
rumors OF GeFmanys intention Of buying
the islands will prove groundless for the
reason that the Monroe Doctrine would
prevent such an action by a European pow
er. No difficulty is anticipated in securing
the necessary appropriation from Congress
to purchase the islands as the amount VIII

tiuu Of the convention will presuppose The

ordinary cost and character. The 81 500

As there were hqt few Senators present
the amendment went over without action.

. Comml ssionsr OF Nayigaficn TO make rules
ana regulations for the naturalization Of
. Porto Rican vessels II was agreed to
without objection. II So was the next COM
mittee amendment tsection - in regard TO
quarantine stations
The next amendment was that TO substi-
tute American coins for Porto Rican coins
the latter to be retired at the rate OF
60 cents per peso.
Mr.. Morgan moved to make the ratio 100
cents per peso, and argued in support of
that amendment One reason which he
gave against ths committee proposition
was that the enormous mortgage debts of
$S1O00.00o are now payable in pesos, and
that the amendment would make them pay
able in American dollars
He characterized the proposition as
shameless effrontery.' Every enc OF the
Porto Rlcan pesos would be converted into
an American silver dollar, and should
therefore be paid in so many dollars.
There could not be- he declared. a more
cruel injustice practiced, and it vas t. be
done IN the name and under the guise of
magnanimity.
The same view of the question was taksn
and emphasized by Senators Jones Of Ar
kansas and Bacon of Georgia.
hr. Foraker defended the proposition.
and said that the peso Is passing in Porto
Rico at a. or As cents to the dollar. So
that when 60 cents was pad for a peso
the advantage was on the side of the peo-
pie Of Porto Rico. and the talk about hard
ship was entirely unwarranted.
Mr.. Bacon put the case Of one hundred
pesos being converted into one hundred
dollars, and said that the Porto Ricau
owner would only get $50 and that TIE
$40 would go into the United States Treas
ury.
Mr.. Foraker did not controvert that idea.
but said that the additional $40 value was
given TO the silver by the credit of the
United States.
After further discussion the question
went over without action. and at o'clock
the Senate adjourned until today.

he suggested the desirability of that com

their B Street station bounded by Penn
sylyania Avenue Sixth. Seventh, and b

The officials replied that they could not
favor such project unless Congress would
assume the cost OF at least a part Of the
extra expense that would be placed upon
them 10 the purchase OF the square.
AS Senator Mcmillan does not consider
this a feasible plan the project will doubt
