Free Trade Denied To
Puerto Rico.
Republicans In The House
Ways And Means Commit
tee Say It's A Colony.
From ''N. Y. World"

Washington, January 30.-The
Republicans of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House tonight
subscribed to the theory that Puerto
Rico and the Philippines are not
territory of the United States within
the meaning Of that section of the
Constitution which provides that
customs and revenue laws shall be
uniform throughout the UniteS Sta
tes. This commits them to the view
that our new possessions can be gov
eIned as colonies and that discrimi-
mating duties can be laid against
them.
The question arose in connection
with the bill, introduced ten days
ago by Representative Payne, Of
New York, chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, to extend
the customs revenue laws Of the Uni
ted States to Puerto Rico and to
make it a collection district, thus
giving free trade to the island.

The Attitude OF En-
gland In Referen=
Ce To The War.

The New York World, in an edi.
torial headed HThe war must go on,
says.
The attitude of the British Parlia.
ment makes it evident that the Bri.
tish people do not yet realize the
meaning of the calamities that have
ruined their first campain against
the republics. E'The war must 60
on" saws the Government, and the
opposition assents and the news
paper press shrieks for the deporta-
ton of a hundred Thousand more
young men to be used as ''cannon
food"
Yet it lies upon the surface that
two apparently insurmountable obs
tacles forbid Britain's triumph over
the republics.
The first is the makeup of her
corps of officers. Gen. Butler has
pointed out that those brave, daring
gentlemen" who get the commits
sions in the British army in all its
divisions refuse 20 learn the art of
war; that they lack initiative and al
so are incapable Of collecting to
their superiOrs that information which
must be had before a commander
can act. Roberto and Kitchener
will be as badly off as Butler was,
And opposed to thOm are armies
every man of whom is a unit of in
itiatiVe, capable, brave, resOurceful,
selfreliant. And finally these units
are. moved in concerted and success
full action by a Masters -Strategist,
the unknown genius who directs the
campaigns of the republics.
The second obstacle is the phys
ical conformation Of the country
which Britain seeks to conquer.
Won Moltke has pointed out that in
modern warfare defense is easy and
attack upon an intelligent defense
Well-nigg impossible. The armies Of
the republics have in their precipices
and abysses, tEeir koPjes and rocks.
their deserts and their climate, allies
who have built up the two republics
into two impregnable fort-esseS, two
colossal Gibraltars.
But ''the wal must go on!"

The Republican members of the
committee to-day decided to favor a
substitute which provides that the
tariff of Puerto Rico against goods
from forcing countries, except the
United States. shall be the same as
that against goods entering the Uni
ted States from such countries, but
that goods imported into the United
States from Puerto Rico shall pay
20 per cent of the tariff upon forcing
goods. The substitute also provides
that the revenue from such tariff
duties shall be used to defray the
expenses of administration in the
island,

Warm Welcome to French Am.
bassadOr, Who 1t Was Fea-
red Would Be Sent to Rome
Friend Of United States.
From " The Herald y.

Arriving yesterday fram Havre,
the French line steamship Norman
die reported a succession of gales
from the west and southwest, with
heavy head seas, as the cause of her
delay in reaching port. During two
days it was found necessary so great
ly to reduce speed to avoid danger
to the machinery from the racing of
the screws that very little headway
was made.
Mr.. Jules Oambon, French Am
bassador at Washington, was pas
senger. He was met at the pier by
a large party of his friends and couu-
trymen and received an enthusiastic
welcome. 1t was not expected when
NJ. Cambon returned to France in
August last that he would again ia
ke up the duties of Ambassador he.
re, as it neceSsitates his being Sepa-
rated from his family. Nine. Cam
bon's health has never permitted her
to take the voyage. 1t was rumOred
that Mr.. Cambon would be offered
the AmbasSadorship at Rome, but
so earnest were the requests from in
fluential circles that he be returned
to this country that, as an intimate
friend said yesterday, he decided to
accede to the request of the Foreign
Office. /.
While in France he advocated on
several public occasions closer re-
latioship of France to the United
States, and delayed his return to WOrh
in favor of the reciprocity treaty SC
greatly desired by President Nc
KinIey, and to which opposition las
arisen in the French Parliament as
well as in the Senate.
Among those welcoming M. Cam
bon were M. Thiebaut, Charge d
Affaires; M. Taigny, Secretary Of
the Embassy; Edmond Bruwaert,
Consul General; Henry MOet, Vice
Consul; Theobald Chartran and Hen
ry Mailvoyage and went at once to
the Holland House, He will go to
Washington to-day.
Another passenger of the Norman
die to receive an enthusiastic Welco-
me was Miss Maud Come, the
"Irish Joan of Arc" who comes to
this country for a lecture tour Of a
month IN the interest of the Beers.
She was met by representatives Of
the Irish societies, under whose
auspices her lectures are to be given
Miss Come expressed pleasure at
the news of British defeats in South
Africa, and said the time was favo-
rable for the Irish at home and this
country to unite to free Ireland.
England she said is now in no posi-
ton to refuse anything that might
be demanded.
"Great surprise is shown on the
Continent" said Miss Come, "that
Americans have not taken a decided
stand in favor of the Beers and aga,
