BY EIGHT MAJORITY.
The House Of Representatives Passcs
the Porto Rican Tariff BiIl, Just as
Ii Came from the senate.

Washington, April 1.-THE long
and bitter struggle over the Porto
Rican tariff bill ended Wednesday
when the house by vote of 16l to
153 concurred in all the senate
amendments. The bill now requires
only the signature of the speaker and
the president of the senate before
going to the president for his approx
al. The signatures will be attached
to-day and before nightfall the bill
will be law.
AS the bill passed it was a simple
one imposing IS per cent. of the
Dingley rates on goods going into
Porto Rico from the United States.
AS amended by the senate and agreed
to by the house all restrictions on
goods coming into the United States
from Porto Rico are eliminated and
certain foodstuffs and other articles
which heretofore have gone into
Porto Rico free by executive order
are excluded from the operation of
the IS per cent. duty imposed on
goods entering the islands from the
United States. A complete scheme of
civil government for the island is also
attached to the measure.
On the final vote nine republicans
voted against the bill Two demo-
Gratis, Messrs. Davey and Meyer, of
Louisiana, were paired with demo-
Gratis in favor of the bill and one
democrat, Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylva-
MIA, voted for it outright. Mr.. Stall
lings (dem., Ala.) was the only mem
ber on either side absent and IMPAIR
ed. The vote came at o'clock after
very interesting and exciting de-
bate of five hours which covered not
only the bill. but the special order
under which the house acted.
One of the most dramatic features
of the day was the reading by Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, Of
the original opinion of Charles E.
Magoon, the legal advisor of the war
department, in favor of the view that
the constitution extended over Porto
Rico. Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, in reply
called Mr.. Magoon n clerk who tried
to overrule the great lawyer at the
head of the war department..

GOVERNOR OF PORTO RICO.
President Mckinley Selects Charles VI,
Allen, OF the Navy Department., for
an Important Position.

Washington, April 13.-Charles III.
Allen, at present assistant secretary
of the navy, will be the first civil gov
ernor of Porto Rico, under the provi-
sions of the bill passed by congress.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Allen was
summoned to the White House by the
president and the formal tender of
the post was made. Mr.. Allen return
ed a practical acceptance.
Then the president and the next
governor of Porto Rico spent an hour
in close conference respecting the
matters to be arranged in the imme-
diate future. Owing to the fact that
little more than two weeks time in
tervenes before the civil government
must go into operation, it was decid
ed that it would not be practicable
to complete the cabinet of the COVER
nor in that time. Therefore Mr.. AL
len will go alone to San Juan at the
earliest possible moment after Secre-
tary Long returns to Washington,
which should be on Saturday next.
Mr.. Allen will put himself in touch
with Gen. Davis, now military COVER
nor of the island, and spend IL short
time in acqualnting himself with the
insular affairs and in studying the
character of the men who present
themselves to his notice as proper
material for members of the new cab
met.
AS soon as he gains the knowledge
he seeks, Gov. Allen Will return to
the United States. lie may leave Gen.
Davis in charge during mis- absence,
but in case it shall have been found
possible to complete the formation of
the cabinet, or even if only one mem
Der shall have been appointed, then
that person will act as temporary
governor.
AS to his intentions respecting Nle
administration of the islands affairs,
Mr.. Allen disclosed these during
short interview in which he said:
"it is true the president has asked
me to go to Porto Rico as the civil
governor. | regard this tender in the
spirit in which it is made, as great
compliment, although it's acceptance
means undertaking grave responsible
tiles.
MY effort will be to administer the
government provided by congress in
such manner as to command and hold
the confidence of the people, to help
them so far as | may, to realize the
best there is in them, and to assist
them in the development of the island
along the lines which have made us
such prosperous nation"

WORLDWIDE IN EXTENT
The Plan Is to Restrict PrOduc.
ton and Raise Prices.
A CONFERENCE AT PARIS.
Representatives of Various Agricultu-
raj Organizations are Expected 10
Attend IA Convention There In July
and Endorse the Project.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 14.-The
Journal says: 'All the farmers of
the world in a sort of international
trust to restrict the production of
wheat and raise prices" is the plan
which it is hoped to carry into effect
at the international agricultural con-
ference in Paris, July 9-16. 1t is pro-
posed to ask the farmers of the world
to reduce their wheat output by 20
per cent. and not to sell buShel for
less than 81.
j. c. Hanley, of St. Paul, active
agent for the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial union, the National Cotton
Growers association, the Farmers
Federation of the Mississippi Valley
and the National Grain Growers as
sociation, is the chief promoter of the
international agricultural trust in
America.
Prof. c. G. Rutland, of the Univer-
sity of Fribourg, Switzerland, is the
chief promoter of the plan in Europe.
The idea was conceived by these two
men independently.
Mr.. Hanley has been interested in
many hold your wheat" schemes
and is prominently associated with
the Farmers elevator and various
other cooperative undertakings. He
has long believed that if the farmers
would only come to an understanding
as to limiting production and agree
to sell only when their price could be
obtained, they could easily master the
situation.
AS a professor of economics, Prof.
Rutland has come to the same conclu-
sion. His study of the agrarian prob
lens of different countries led him to
believe that the only cure for the
widespread troubles of farmers, which
are much more severe in the old than
in the new world, is to restrict pro-
duction.
Both were hard at work getting the
idea into practice when they encoun-
tered each other through correspond
ence. Since then they have been work
ing with Il common idea, viz: To
persuade the international agricul-
tural congress to indorse the plan
and recommend it to the various ma
tional associations present, for appli-
cation next year.
While 90 per cent reduction in acre
age is desired, Mr.. Hanley points out
that if only ) per cent. can be secured
the worlds wheat corp will be reduce
ed about 125 100000 bushels, which is,
he says, enough to bring the price at
Liverpool up to 81. To help out the
effect of a restricted production the
farmers are to hold their wheat for 90
days, and are to market it at not less
than 81 n bushel.
almost everything the farmer
buys" Mr.. Hanley said, sis regulated
in price by some trust. On the other
hand, all that the farmer sells has its
price determined by the competition
of all the rest of the farmers of the
world. The farmers propose to unite,
stop ruinouS competition among
themselves and make the world pay
fair price for their product
Following the Paris conference it is
hoped to have established a perma-
nent international Grain Growers
association.

INDIA'S FAMINE.
A Consular Report Describes the APP
paIIin@ Distress that Prevails.


Washington, April 12.-The state
department has made public one of
the reports on which it based its
statement to the navy department
reative to the famine in India. This
report is from United States Consul
Fee, at Bombay, and presents start"
ling figures to illustrate the extent
of the visitation. Mr.. Fee says that,
Notwithstanding the season of acute
distress has hardy commenced, the
returns far exceed those recorded
during the initial stages of the fam
inc three years ago. 1t then affected
only 100000 persons; now the figWe
is 100000 and the daily expenditure
is placed at $4,000.
The famine area covers 300 900
square miles with a population of 40,-
100000 and there is a further area
of about 14j,000 square miles, with a
population of 21.O00.OOO, in which
more or less distress prevails, and
where relief already has been or will
be given. The consul says that the
applications for relief are overtaXing
the state authorities and are in
creasing at an appalling rate.
The number of applicants at the
relief works during the last week IN
January averaged 3,50O,OO0, with the
most trying period still two months
distant. In conclusion, the consul
expresses the fear that the South
African war will SO divert the att
tion and contributions of English-
men as to oblige India to fight tho
plague and famine alone.
