MILWAUKEE, Feb. 2S.-The decision
of the supreme court at Madison,

Debate on the Porto Rican Tariff
Bill in the House Now at
an End.
Doctrine of the Minority the Doc
trine Advocated by Abraham
Lincoln.
Compromise Agreed to in Repub-
lican Caucus Will Probably
Be Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The last day
of the general debate on the Porto Rico
tariff bill opened in the house with a 90
minutes speech by Mr.. Carmack (Tenn.)
in opposition to the bill. The alterna-
tive presented by the bill, he said, was
the abandonment Of our priceless prin-
oiplcs or of our new possessions. The
country had been dazzlcd with the gor-
geous picture Of empire, yet at the very
Threshold of the new departure, he
said, gentlemen Oh the other side had
been appalled, lest tho trade which they
had looked at with covetous eyes would
bring ruin and destruction to American
labor. Therefore the new possessions
were to become colonies and be turned
over to carretbagger Adventures. He
said that Mr.. Grosvenor tho other day
had displayed dense ignorance when he
had declared that this was the battle of
1860 over again. He read from the Re-
publican platform Of 1860 to show that
it set up the very contention maintained
by the Democrats now-that the consti.
tuition was supreme in tho territories
and extended over every foot Of ground
over which the United States had iuris-
diction.
"That was the doctrine Of the Repub.
ican party and Abraham Lincoln" said
he, land we stand here to defend the
theory that slavery and political despot-
ism cannot be imposed within the juris.

a Letter From Payne.
Mr.. Clayton, (Ala.) who followed Mr..
Carmack, created much amusement and
enthusiasm by reading a letter written
by Chairman Payne to w: H. Curtis of
Palmyra, N. Y, Jan. "a, 1900, in which
he advocated free trade with Porto Rico
OF the ground that it would give relief
to the stricken island. The letter also
contained the following reference to the
Philippines:
"Under the treaty the Philippine
islands are to have free trade with Spain
for 10 years. We could not extend these
tariff laws to the Philippine islands even
if we would"
Klebcrg (Tex.), Pearce (Tcnn.) and
De Almond (Mo.) also opposed the bill.
Cannon (Ills.) for the Republican
side, charged that both the tobacco and
sugar stored in Porto Rico was owned
by the sugar and tobacco trusts. They
had put forward some natives as stool
pigeons to beg for free trade, so that
while the Democrats cried out against
the trusts they would be voting for
them,

CHANGED THE BILL.

Republican Caucus Agrees IN a Fifteen
per Cent Tariff for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-At the con-
ference of house Republicans on the
Porto Rican tariff bill were
given that the president believed the
measure constitutional and would ap-
prove it if it came to him. An agree
ment was then reached to limit the op-
Grafton of the bill to two years and to
reduce the duty imposed by it from rs
to Is per cent Of the American tariff.
As a result the Republican leaders claim
that the bill will have the support of all
the Republicans except four-Messrs.
Mccall Of Massachusetts, Littlefield Of
Maine, Lorimer Of Illinois and Crum-
packer Of Indiana-and that this loss
will be offset by affirmative votes Of the
opposition. They claim the passage Of
the modified bill is certain.
After the conference adjourned Chair
nan Cannon gave out the following
statement Of the amendments agreed
upon by the conference:
Amendments Agreed To.
"The conference requested the ways
and means committee to offer an amend
ment to the bill as follows:
"'Amend the title to make it an act
temporarily to provide revenue for the
island Of Porto Rico and for other pur-
poses,' and to add the following section:
"'This act shall be taken and held to
be provisional in it's purpose, intended
to meet a pressing present need for rev.
II u for the island Of Porto Rico, and is
not to continue in force after March l,
1907
"These amendments were adopted
with practical u%nanimity. Another to
reduce the duty imposed by the act
from 25 to Is per cent was adopted by a
vote Of 105 to II. A further amendment
is to be offered by the ways and means
committee to make it clear that no
double duty is imposed; that the pay
ment of one internal revenue tax is the
total tax OH importations."

Reduction Of Grain Rates.

DULUTH, Feb. 28.-Word has been
received here that in order to lessen the
effect of the opening Of st. Lawrence
canals to the sea, via Montreal, New
York trunk roads operating from Buf.
falo will reduce their rates on grain
from the West, via Buffalo and rail, to
8 cents a bushel. This is q drop Of
Is cent bushel and makes a rate Of
AZ cents a bushel, which is the lowest
ever in effect between Buffalo and New
York. This will make a rate Of about
~ cents bushel from Duluth to sea-
board at New York.

A Liberal Offer.

A Liberal Offer.
The Northwestern newspaper which is

news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.

sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place lust
outside of the sphere of the home paper
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority Of the people of
the northwest.

rangements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers

Col. Patten of the quartermaster gen.
erals office today completed arrangements
for the shipment of about 81 ,OOO,O worth
of clothing and equipage to Manila for the
use of the troops in the Philippines during
the next six months. These shipments will
be made by way of New York and San
Francisco by the first available transports
and are in response to cabled acquisitions
from Col. Miller, the depot quartermaster
at Manila.
Among the principal articles called for
are 10000 khaki coats. 1000 pairs KHAKI
trousers, 1005go pairs russell shoes, $4,000
pairs black calfskin shoes, 22O,O 600 pairs of
cotton stockings 5000 nankeen shirts Co.

Guiding 200 hospital tents; 1000 blankets,
1900 brooms. 5000 scrubbing brushes, 5000
barracks chairs and 10000 light @woolen
stockings.
AS showing the complete state of pre-
paredness of the quartermaster' depart
ment to meet even the largest demands on
Geographic notice, it may be stated that
with the exception of light wooden stock
ings all the articles in the above list were
in stock at the various military depots
and will be forwarded with no more delay
than is necessary in handling and trans
porting them. Wooden stockings have not
heretofore been considered an essential part
OF the outfit of a soldier in the tropics,
and consequently were not kept in stock.
These articles will be purchased in the
open market in San Francisco and for
warded with the rest. Most of the articles
had been prepared for shipment to meet a
requisition received from Col Miller about
a week ago, but a cable message
ceived from him this morning indicating
that he required even more than had been
originally asked for. HIS last raulIiSiftOn in
addition to the articles already enumerated
called for 800 field ranges. Even these were
In stock and will be sent forward with the
other articles. Under the policy adopted by
the quartermasters department, arrange
ments will be made Immediately to repien-
ish the stock in all the depots up to the
maximum amount at the time of the re-
ceipt OF the mammoth order from the

WAITING IN THE SENATE.
Porto Rican Government Bill is the
Unhnfshcd Buafness,

nuStucSf
1t now looks as though the week In the
Senate would be spent largely in waiting
upon the special republican caucus COM
mittee appointed to harmonic the party on
the proposed Porto Rican legislation. The
Porto Rican governmental bill will con-
dnue to hold its place on the Senate cal
eEdar the unfinished business. and some
desultory speeches doubtless will be made
upon it, but it will not be pressed as it
would be II there was hope of passing it
soon. The republican senators are opposed
to present action on the bill, and no effort
will be made to arrive at final results until
the caucus committee makes its report.
In the meantime the appropriation bills
on the calendar will receive attention.
These are the legislative and the Indian
bills. There is one amendment suggested
to the legislative bill by the committee
appropriations which may arouse consider
able debate and open up the Philippine
question. This is the item providing for
the establishment of a photographic office
at Manila. Opposition senators recognize
the possibilities of this amendment as a
decided to avail themselves of 1t. In con-
nection with the Indian bill the expend-
itures authorized to be made by the Dawes
commission probably will be discussed.
There Is difference of opinion as to
whether, under the agreement to take up
the Quay resolution for consideration on
April 3. 1t can be called up even for
speeches in the interim. 1t Is probable
however, that some addresses may be pre-
sented on the subject during the present
week IL no other matter presses for con-
sideration. An effort will be made by
Senator Davis to get up the Spanish claims
bill.
In executive session there will be at
tempt made to secure the confirmation of
W. d. Bynum as appraiser at New York,
which attempt does not promise TO be i'm
mediately successful. The Hay-Pauncefote
treaty will be considered if opportunity per-
mits, but the present indications are
against an early move in that direction.
