Hero of Hinckley Fire Speaks or
Death of BishOp Gilbert,

Hero of HinckIey Fire Speaks on
Death of Bishop Gilbert.
Rev. William Wilkinson, at the o'clok
service at ST. Marks church, Minneapo-
lis, last evening spoke briefly of the
death of Bishop Gilbert. He said: He
was a man gifted with ready and power
full speech, with a hopeful nature, and
was always loyal to his friends. He was
a man of strong will and loved the
church with a deep and tender love.
was with him in New York, at the home
of the Rev. H. P. Nichols, a week ago
last Monday, at dinner. He was East In
the interest of the Swedish work in Min
nesota, and that day he spoke to the
women of Grace church, New York Rev
Father j. o. S. Huntington was present
and spoke highly of the bishops speech
and work. Bishop Gilbert then went to
Philadelphia and then came home to his
sick wife She has long been sick and
today sits in the shadow of a sorrow
which no words can lessen and no time
efface. To her and to her daughters we
extend our sympathies, and for their help
and blessing we offer our more earnest
prayers. No words sufficiently solemn
and rich have ever been formed by the
children of men to speak the desire we
feel. God knows, however, and-will re-
ward as we desire, not as we express. We
stand still and wait and wonder, know
ing the souls of the righteous are in the
hands Of God, and no evil can touch them
and that if faithful. we too, shall with
them rest in peace till the day of dawn. )"

among the partisans of both parties un-
til the sugar and tobacco trusts showed
their hands. Then the Republicans rallied
to the support of the measure and the
administration applied the screws to those
who were half-hearted In the matter. The
whole affair seemed very much like a
trust conference 1t was their interests
that were at stake, and they won in the
lower house, after hot fight.
What the senate will do is hard to
tell. If the weak ones in the senate can
be bolstered up by the administration, as
many were In the house, the measure will
unquestionably pass.
Il believe" said the governor, continu-
ing, that 1t is both unwise and impolitic
for us to place a high tariff between this
country and Puerto Rico. The conditions
there are much different than in Cuba
The latter was held as a colony, but
Puerto Rico had a representation of
eighteen in the Spanish cortes, twelve in
the upper and six In the lower house. The
least that we could do Is to extend to
them our trade. I believe that If the
principle of tariff with Puerto Rico Is
bad one, the Is per cent clause is just as
had as Is per cent 1t should either be
high tariff or no tariff"

Gov. John Lind returned from Washing
ton yesterday, where he touched elbows
with some of the first men of the nation
and renewed acquaintance among his old
congressional colleagues. The governor $
visit to Washington was occasioned by a
call for a meeting of governors of the
various states to plan for the Washing
ton centennial celebration at the national
capital next December
He reached st. Paul at noon, and after
a lunch at his home went Immediately to
his office He found an<abundance of cor
respondence and important matters of
state waiting his attention, as well as
house full of callers. To a G 0 b re-
porter the governor stated that if there
had been any new developments in the
Metcalf proceedings, he was not advised
as to what they were but he should take
the testimony home with him and read as
much OF 1t over as possible before next

Taking of Testimony I'm the Clark
Inquiry Closed.
: WASHINGTON, March 2-Just before
the adjournment of the senate committee
on elections today, both the prosecution
and the defense in the investigation of
the election of Senator Clark, of Mon
tana, announced that they had concluded
the presentation of testimony. There are
some papers to be examined, and argu-
ment Is still to be heard. Arrangements
for this VIII be made tomorrow
The committee reserves the right to call
witnesses in It's own behalf, but the feel
ing is general that the arduous part of
the work is finished. All witnesses called
by either side have been excused and
many OF them left tonight for their
homes.
The investigation began on Jan. 8, and
up to date hundred witnesses have been
examined. Their testimony will fill be-
tween 2,40o and 2,5O0 pages. The expense
to the government so far has been about
$27,0
A number of witnesses were examined
today, but the only one who gave I'M
portant testimony was James w. Kemper,
of Butte, whose statement bore on the
purchase of State Representative Wood $
ranch.
E. L. Whitmore explained his relations
with C. w. Clark, as developed in the
purchase Of State Senator Warmers s
ranch.

witnesses in surrebuttal, among them i.

the governor will announce his decision

The governor further said that he had

OPPOSITION IN SENATE.
Puerto Rican Bill Is Sought to Be
Amended.

Amended.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-1nterest in
the Puerto Rican tariff measure now
has been transferred from the house TO
the senate. Consideration of bill en-
bodying substantially the provisions Oh
the house bill, and, in addition, proVld-
ing for a temporary form OF civil gov
ernment for the island Of Puerto Rico,
was begun in the senate today, Mr. For
aker (Rep., o., chairman of the COM
mittee on Pacific Islands and Puerto
Rico. being in charge of the measure.
Scarcely had the reading of the bill
been concluded when Mr.. Teller tCol.)
proposed an amendment providing, in
brief. that the purpose of the pending
bill is simply to establish temporary
government in Puerto Rico for the pur-
pose of enabling the people of the island
later to establish a permanent repub-
ncan government, in which there will be
accorded the people the right of self
government; the adoption of constitu-
tion and the establishment of perma-
nent form of government, not interfer-
with the sovereignty of the United States
over the island or its inhabitants.
This amendment was followed by an
other by Mr.. Stewart CNev.), striking out
the provision levying a duty on Puerto
Rican goods and providing that they
should be admitted free into the United
States.
A spirited debate was participated In
by Mr.. Foraker, Mr.. Teller, Mr.. Stew
art and others.
Mr.. Foraker contended that the duties
levied on Puerto Rican products were
necessary because the island was In
need of revenues. Every dollar levied
as duties would be turned into the treas
ury of the island, and the committee held
that this was the only practicable means
of securing the needed funds
Mr.. Stewart strongly upheld the policy
of the president, as announced In his

REBUKE FOR THE MAJORITY

So the Action Was at First Regard
ed by the House MinOrity-EROrts
of MIR. Bailey to Send the Bill
Prepared by Republicans to Com
mittee ON Appropriations Failed
Puerto Rican Bill Before Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Within two
hours after a special message from the
president, recommending the immediate
passage of bill to place in his hands all
the moneys collected upon Puerto Rlcar
goods since the Spanish evacuation Of the
island, to be used for the relief of the
Puerto Ricans. had been read to the house
today, the house had passed and sent to
the senate bill to carry out the recon-
mendation.
The message came like a bolt out of a
clear sky to the minority. They were at
first inclined to hail IL with delight as q
reproof of the majority for the passage
Of the Puerto Rican tariff bill on Wednes-
day. The Republican leaders, however,
had bill ready to carry the presidents
recommendation into effect Mr.. Cannon
asked immediate consideration for it, and
this was given.
1t was only when the debate opened-it
had been agreed that twenty minutes
should be allowed on a side-that under
the lead Of Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, the
Democrats began lining up against the
bill because it. placed no limitation upon
the presidents discretion In the use Of
the money.
Mr.. Bailey had moved to commit the
bill to the committee on appropriations
with instructions to report it back with
| amendments limiting the appropriation to
the amount now in the treasury derived
from collections upon articles imported
from Puerto Rico, and specifying the pur-
pose for which the president may use the
money.
Mr. Raileys motion was defeated, and
the bill was passed. 1872 to 1O7. Thirteen

ncans, Messrs 4Shafroth (CoL) and Will

for the bill
Mr.. Underwood announced that he had
voted with the Republicans for the pur-
pose of moving a reconsideration, which
he did, but it failed.
Mr.. Mann Qll.) called up the contested
election case Of Aldrich VS.. Robbins, from
the Fourth Alabama district. The Demo-
Gratis attempted filibuster, but the case
was taken up, 1876 to 49, 1t was agreed
that it should be debated for the remain

able, should conduct the funeral services.
