Irish rrus. mud pintru.t.

The most trustful people in the world
ia money matters are the Irish. A
stranger can so into any shop and get
a check cashed without the least diff
Guilty, though the proprietor never saw
him before and never heard OF the
drawer. Bank notes are very largely
used, as almost every bank in the coun-
try issues notes worth II, II, f3, f5
and upward. and they are all looked
upon as being quite as good as gold.
But Bank of England notes. even in
the large towns. are looked upon with
suspicion, while in remote places peo-
pie won't take them at all. 1t is said
that this suspicion of English notes is
hereditary.
From the time OF James II up to 75
years ago the law was such with re-
gard 10 currency that if an Irishman
wanted to pay fl00 in England he had
to remit Els Us. Sd, while If he were
being paid a debt by an Englishman
he received only ES5. Naturally he
thought rather badly of English money.
and in the 100 years during which this
state of'thlngs continued the Irish peo-
pie became so deeply convinced that
John Bull was cheating them that they
still regard the Bank of England as a
corporation of robbers.

PORTO RIoAN POLICY.
Robert u. Porter Gives His Views ON
Administrations Plans.

New York, Jan. 29.-Robert +. Porter.
who has arrived from Washington ON
visit, was questioned about Porto Rican
and Cuban affairs. In answer to
query as to whether or not he thought
there was any truth in the report that
the administration had changed its Por-
70 Rican policy Of free trade, Mr.. Porter
said:
81 see no reason to believe that the
administration has changed its mind
about giving Porto Rico free trade, and
| do not think that the report is correct
which says congress will retract from
what it has practically decided upon al
ready"
is it not realized in Washington that
Porto Rico is suffering from the present
condition of things and that prompt re-
lief from heavy taxation is nccessaryY
Congress will undoubtedly follow the
advice Of the president in changing the
tariff so that Porto Rican commodities
may come into the market free or at
such reduced rate of duty that the
Porto Rirans viii find a profitable mar
kct for all their products. The matter
is now before tine senate committee on
Porto Rico, aud | think it will bc pushed
right through.
The situation is this: Mr.. Foraker
wants to make Porto Rico territory
that is, admit it into the. Union with not
only the absolutely free trade that ,ex-
lists between our states,.but with all the
rights of citizenshipan the right TO send
delegates to Washington. Now, the ad-
ministration does not want the Porto
lticans to be admitted in that way, and
the administration does not think that
the Porto RiCans are entitled to full citi-
zenship at present. The idea, ! think,
is to keep the island as one of our pos
sessions, with all the advantages that
should so with its connection with our
country.
Porto Ricans will be given what we
might call commercial reciprocity. For
European goods the regular United
States tariff will of course, be applied,
but in the interchange Of goods with the
United States there will be not free
trade perhaps, but some arrangement
that will give the island a decided .ad-
vantage over other West Indian islands.
A changed form Of the present tariff
will set things straight in Porto Rico
| Immediately, and, as the government of
the island is doing all right, | think no
other reform will be needed. | have not
been in Porto Rico, but | think l am
right in saying that this programme of
the administration is what is wanted."

Authorities Have Confessions From
Some of the Men Arrested.
Rome, n. Y, Jan. 29.-The breaks in
the Forestport feeder of the Black river
canal, for which IL arrests have been
made within the last few weeks, were
three in number. The first occurred Aug.
8, 1897, the second May %, 1893, and the
third Sept 8, 1899. The breaks made
work for hundreds of men and teams and
caused booms in Forestport, especially for
the hotels and saloons.
When the first break occurred, no ques-
ti0n was raised that it was not the result
of natural causes. When the second
break took place, people wondered a lit
tie and some expressed the opinion that
the feeder banks had not been rebuilt as
substantially as they should have been.
Upon the breaking of the bank in 1899
there was a general outcry that it was
caused purposely by persons who made
financial gains thereby
The breaks caused the state an expense
of over 100000, and after the last one
the state authorities set an investigation
on foot which has resulted in II arrests.
the last one, that of William II. Morrell,
having been made Sunday.
Those under arrest are hotel and saloon
keepers, "A livery stable man. lock tend
er and several laborers. The grand jury
has found many indictments and addi-
tional arrests will be made. The authori-
ties have confessions from a number of
those under arrest giving every detail Of
the various breaks, and conviction is
sure.
The cases will be tried next month. No
details of the confessions have been given
out. 1t is said, however, that in at least
one instance dynamite was used, and in
the others shovels. etc. The feeder is on
a side hill, so that it was simply neces-
sary TO make small ditch and the rush

MASON DENoUNoEs ENGLAND.
Senator From Illinois Makes a
Speech on the War.


Washington, Jan. 29.--Mr Mason
ulls.l. rising to Il question of personal
privilege, had read an interview purport-
ing 10 have been hnd with the British
consul at New Orleans in which the llli-
nos senator was criticised for his speech
in sympathy with the Beers. Mr.. Mason
severely criticised the British govern
mpnt not the people, saying that not
one-tenth OF the English people favored
the present war in South Africa and that
95 per cent of the people of this country
symplthizcd with the Boers He said
that it was not the first time British
diplomats lad interfered in American
politics, and be desired to have attention
called to this matter now before it could
iniure the present administration as it
had injured Mr. Cleveiands.
M Lodge said he did not think the
diplomatic or consular officers of any
government had the right to criticise
senator or representative or any officer of
the government. Mr. Lodge said the gall
lnnt fight the l5Uc's were making stirred
the heart of every man.
Mr.. Mason criticised the foreign rela-
tions committee for taking no action upon
the resolution of sympathy.
Mr.. Mason, then RESUMED his criticism
of England. He said England had made
the war for the purpose Of getting the
rich mines of South Africa.
Mr.. platt Conn said at the close Of
MIR. Mason's speech that he wished to
enter his protest against "the abuse of
free speech on. the floor of the, senate"
MI: Pettigrew, speaking on a resolu-
tion relating to contraband. of war, said
that the doctrine that beliigerent. might
seize foodstuffs even if it paid for them
would mean that in case of war between
our two best customers our trade with

President Mckinley Will Issue
a Proclamation of Amnesty
to the Islanders.
GIVING SIXTY DAYS GRACE
After Expiration OF That Time all
Who Have Not Yielded viii, it
is Said, be Denounced as
Outlaws. What Otis'
Reports Show.

New York, Jan. 2o--The Washington
correspondent of The Sun says:
1t has been learned from official
sources that the president intends to is
sue within the next 80 days Philippine
proclamation extending amnesty to the
Insurgents and denouncing as outlaws and
bandits all who do not avail themselves
If its terms.
This determinations was reached after
several conferences with the secretary of
war and other members Of the cabinet
The proclamation has not yet been draft
I'd but the general terms of it's provisions
have been Fully discussed, and it is an
nounced that it will contain a declara-
tion of the end of the insurrection in the
Islands. This will be followed by a grant
of amnesty to all Insurgents who lay
down their arms within a specified time.
The time has not yet been decided upon,
but the president believes 60 days sufi-
cient, andi this meets the approval of the
secretary of war.
The proclamation will declare that ow-
ing to the termination of the insurrectfon
all persons who do not avail themselves
of its terms w?>Sin the time given will be
treated as outlaws and bandits. For
consideration an announcement of the
termination of the rebellion, but has been
waiting for a complete disintegration of
all the Filipino forces.
What Otis Reports show.
Reports from General Otis do not show
that any organized rebellion exists in the
northern part of Luzon and recent re-
ports indicate that the only opposition
found now is in the island south of Ma
Mia. General Schwan has been sent to
conquer the enemy in this section and
has been meeting with surprising sue
cess. fie has pursued the insurgents
without abatement and has inflicted Sc
we're defeats in every engagement, and
the American forces in Cayite and Ba-
tangas provinces have reduced the Fill
pno organizations to rowing bands of
only few hundred men.
The campaign under General Schwan
is to be pushed with renewed vigdr, and
it is the intention of the president tc
issue his proclamation on the completion
of the Schwan expedition. War depart
ment officials are of the belief that Gen
eral Schwan will succeed in pacifying
Cavite and Batangas provinces within q
few weeks aud that General Otis will be
able to report the complete pacificatioI
of the islands within less than 80 days.
There is much comment among army
officers about the absence of news re
garding Aguinaldo. and it is believed by
some that he may have succeeded in es
Gaping from the island entirely. Genera
Otis has not mentioned him in any re
port since he was being pursued by
Major March's battalion in the noun
tains toward Bayombong.
