THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
HOUSE WILL ACCEPT THE SENATE
PORTO RICAN BILL.
Leaders of the Party Urged Concur
renee in the Amendments of
the Upper House.

About a hundred Of the republicans of
the House held a caucus last night and de-
cided to force the Porto Rican tariff bill
through the House speedily as possible,
as 1t came from the Senate. Messrs. Cooper
chairman of the insular committee, and
Moody, member of that committee, on
posed concurrence in the Senate amend
ments without notification but there was
no other open opposition. None of the re-
publicans who voted against the bill as
originally passed by the House was pres
ent.
Mr.. Cannon Qll) presided over the eau
Gus.
Necessity for Harmony.
Mr.. Payne On. ", the floor leader of the
majority made short preliminary state
ment as to the necessity for harmonious
action He said that the republicans of the
ways and means committee were agreed
that SO far as the Senate amendments to
the tarif provisions of the bill We're con-
cerned they should be concurred in He
pointed out that the amendments supported
| the position of the House for a tariff and
mat concurrence involved no abandonment
OF the course to which the republicans of
| the House had committed themselves He
| further stated that the provisions except
ing breadstuffs from the tariff would help
| to allay some Of the popular and unrea-
mended the 5-cent duty on coffee as being
| In line with the protective policy
He moved that the caucus declare in
| favor of concurrence in the amendments TO
| the tariff provisions. With regard to the
| civil government scheme embodied in the
Senate amendment he thought it but proper
that the members of the insuIar commit
| tee who had evolved bill should be heard.
| Opposed to Senate Provisions.
| After some minor discussion about the
| spelling of the word Porto Rico Mr. Cooper
| CWfs), chairman of the insular affairs COM
| mittee. took the floor and made an earnest
| speech against the exceptance of certain
features of the Senate bill His remarks
| were directed chiefly against the Senate's
provision regarding the upper house or
| council of the Porto Rican legislature The
Senate provided that all the members
| should be appointed by the President,
| whereas the House bill makes half of them
| elective. The power given to the council
| to grant franchises was another feature
which he strenuously opposed. Mr. Cooper

The greater Cornell" to respond to which
the POSTMASTER called upon Prof. Walter F.
Wilcox of the department of economies,
now on leave of absence from the univer-
sity, and holding the place of chief statis-
tician of the twelfth United States census.
Prof Wilcox contrasted the old-time condi-
tons with regard to the higher education,
as they existed in New England with the
new IDEAS practically introduced by Cornell
ana widely adopted. not only in other COL
leges and universities of recent establish
ment but to a certain extent by the older
and more conservative institutions
Rev. J. d. Whitney. president of George
town University. was called upon to ex-
plain why Georgetown beat Cornell in the
afternoon base ball game and gracefully
evaded direct reply by telling a story of
southern life

Senutor Davis Explains.

Senator Davis opened the debate wiki
general statement in support of the treaty.
but directed his remarks especially toward
tile explanation of the committee amend
m,rt He stated that in all other essen
tiai respects the pending treaty was SINH
lar to the treaty Of Constantinoplc. entered
into in connection with the Suez canal.
For some reason. however. the provision
permitting the United States to defend its
property was omitted. In the SueZ canal
treaty such a provision was inserted in
the interest of the Sultan of Turkey and
the Kheiive Of Egypt. This omission was a
pslpable error. MIR. Davis said. and he did
not believe that the people of the United
States would be satisfied with any arrange
ment which left the government of this
country to build waterway between the
oceans and did not give il the right in
specific terms To defend it.

Senator MorEan's Opposition.

Senator Morgan. the only member of the
committee on foreign relations who did noI
concur in the amendment made the prin~
cipal speech In opposition to it. He con-
sumed the greater part of the executive
session Mr.. Davis speech being compare
lively brief.
Before Mr.. Morgan began. however. a
few brief statements were made for and
against the amendment. Senator Plat Of
Connecticut and Senator Stewart of Ne
Hada both came out against the amend
ment- Mr.. Plat made the point that the
amendment was unnecessary and therefore
undesirable. Senator Lodge made Il brief
plea for the amendment. saying that how
ever great the present confidence was in
the power of neutrality and mutual under
standing among nations. We should take
into consideration rhe possibility Of future
eHtanglements and lose no opportunity -

According to the New York Herald
not prominent Republican idetiiied with
the national naturalization either in
New York or Washington doubts that
Rooseyelt will be ominated for Vice
President at the PhilAdslphia convention.
Roosevelt, however, insists that he
viii not accept and that II the convsn-
ton nominates him In spite Of his eeolar-
alton he will rise In his seat and re fuse to
Aoospt the nomination. 10 has been
rspressntsd to him that such q act would
kill him politically, but he says he 10
ready to take his chances on that. 1t

1t necessary to thrust the nomination
upon him. He 10 popular. undoubtedly,
ana would help the ticket. but no more
than Long or some other Republican

such pressure as 1t will be necessary to
pus On Roosevelt. Such being the case
there /, plenty OF room for suspicion that
anxiety en- the part Of some prominent
men in New York to get him out OF
tine politics OF that state has more to do
with the movement to make Roosevelt
Vice President than any spsoisl desire to
put him in that office. It IL not only the
politicians there who would like to see
him cease to be governor, but corporate
intsrests affected by his tAx schemes are
said to share this feeling.
