washington, March 3.-Interest in
the Puerto Rican tariff measure now
has been transferred from the house
to the senate. Consideration of the
bill embody ng substantially the pro-
visions of the house bill and in addi-
ton providing for temporary form
of civil government for the island of
Puerto Rico was begun in the senate
yesterday, Senator Foraker (rep.)
of Ohio, chairman of the committee
on Pacific islands and Puerto Rico, be-
ing in charge of the measure. Scarce
ly had the reading of the bill been
concluded when Senator Teller, OF
Colorado. proposed an amendment
providing, in brief, that the purpose
of the pending bill is simply to estab-
lish a temporary government in
Puerto Rico for the purpose of
enabling the people of the island later
to establish permanent government
in which there shall be accorded the
people the right of self-government;
the adoption Of a constitution and the
establishment of a permanent form of
government not interfering with the
sovereignty of the United States over
the island or its inhabitants.
This amendment was followed by
another by Senator Stewart, OF Ne
yada, striking out the provision levy
ing duty on Puerto Rican goods and
providing that they should be adj
mtted free into the United States.
A spirited debate was participated
in by Senator Foraker. Senator Teller
and others Senator Foraker con
tended that the duties levied on
Puerto Rican products was necessary
because the island was in need OF rev
enues. Every dollar levied as duties
would be turned into treasury OF the
island, and the committee held that
| this was the only practicable means
of securing the needed funds.
Senator Stewart strongly upheld tht
policy of the president, as announced
| in his last annual message, OF giving
| free trade to the Puerto Ricans.
