ARE ALREADY CITIZENS
This Ii Senator Morgan's View Of 1
habitants of Porto Rico.


habitants of Porto Rico.
Senator Morgan. Alabama, spoke in the
Senate the other day, dealing with some
Of the constitutional phases Of the Porto
Rican Government and tariff bill. lie
maintained that as the treaty Of Paris
was the supreme law OF the land, it was
impossible for the United States to aban-
don either Porto Rico or the Philippines.
He held also that the constitution ex-
tended, to a certain extent, at least, over
the acquired territory, and that the in
habitants of Porto Rico were citizens Of
the United States.
Comparing our authority in Cuba and
in Porto Rico, Senator Morgan declared
that resistance to American authority in
Cuba would be as much rebellion as il is
in the Philippines. The national power
must continue to exist in all of the ISL
ands until Congress should legislate in
their regard.
"The world" he declared, must be
amused at our discussion of the question
as to whether the Philippines are part
of the United States, while We are vot-
ing arms, supplies and money to suppress
the insurrection of one of the many tribes
in those islands.
Senator Morgan said the question pre-
sented to the United States was four
fold
1. Shall Congress provide a civil gov
ernment for the island of Porto Rico?
2. Shall we leave the island to its pres
ent form of government?
3. Shall we abandon il and recognize
it's independence?
A haI ;t uno AZ
nations as derelct, to be picked up or
captured?
Referring to Cuba, Senator Morgan
said: 1.-The Paris treaty requires us to
occupy the island. We cannot abandon
Cuba without disgrace and without vio-
lating new pledged faith to Spain. Nor
can we abandon Porto Rico or the Phil
ippines without inviting anarchy and in
ternecine war"
The abandonment of the islands being
impossible, as Senator Morgan construed
the treaty of Paris. it was necessary for
Congress to provide schemes Of govern
ment for them. The President would
govern the islands until Congress should
otherwise provide. Inasmuch as the con-
stitution operates on all officers of the
United States TO restrain them from
abuse Of control, naturally the consti-
tuition extends over Porto Rico and the
Philippines, so far. at least, as relates TO
and regulates the duties of United States
officials in those islands.
Discussing the citizenship of the in
habitants of Porto Rico, Senator Nor
gan said:
THE history of the country is conclu-
sive upon us in this matter. The inhab-
itants of Porto Rico ought to he given as
full citizenship as any native inhabitants
of country annexed heretofore. We have
not barred from citizenship any native
inhabitant of any territory annexed.
Those who have not chosen TO retain
their former alliance have become citi-
zens of the United States without regard
to race or any other condition. L be-
lieve if Porto Rico is foreign territory
we cannot pass laws to be enforced
there"
Concerning the tax laws of Porto Rico,
Senator Morgan maintained that Con-
gress should provide laws that should be
uniform throughout the United States
and Porto Rico.

WILL CUT RAILROAD RATES.
Comptroller Dawes Rules on Lines
Having Land Grants.


Comptroller Dawes has made a ruling
which will cost the railroads of the coun-
try loss Of several million dollars on
military traffic done since the opening of
the Spanish American war, and which
will materially decrease the revenue of
Government business to be done by the
roads in the future.
MIR. Dawes holds, in effect, that in max
ing settlements for the handling of troops
and military supplies the land grant re-
ductions due the Government will be de-
Quoted from prevailing party rates in
stead of from first-class tariff rates, as
heretofore. In other words, the Gov
ernlnent now demands the benefit of the
material reductions given by party rates,
and i'll addition the land grant reduction.
This applies to nearly all the business
done by the roads for the Government
during the Philippine and Spanish wars,
and to all business that may be done in
the future. Ii applies to freight as well
as to passenger traffic and will affect
nearly every line of railway in the coun-
try. Very little of the Government bust
ness done since the opening of the Span
ish war has been settled for. A small
proportion Of ii was let under bids, but
the great mass was transacted under the
land grant law.

CARNEGIE SUIT IS OFF.
Head of Steel Company Makes Terms
with Frick.

The great contest between Andrew
Carnegie and his partner, IL. Z. Frick,
has closed. The lawsuits are ordered
stopped and an amicable arrangement
has been made between the two great
iron magnates by which not only are the
warning elements set at rest once and for
all, but also great steel and iron cor
poration has been formed that is far
reaching in its influence and has a cap
ital Of over 5000, 100000. The agreement
covers not only all the points at issue be-
tween the two leaders, but also the TAX
ing into the combination of all the allied
companies in which they We're individual
ly interested.
How far-reaching these agreements are
may be inferred from the fact that they
cover not only the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, with its $50,000,00O of paidin cap
ital, but also the coal mines, the fleet Of
boats on the great lakes, the iron mines,
the railroads, the transportation lines,
the immense coal fields and the coke in
terests, and in addition to these hun
dreds of other interests in subsidiary
companies. All these are merged into
one colossal corporation.
Mr.. Frick was originally clerk in the
employ of Mr.. Carnegie. BY reason of
his executive ability he advanced stead
lily in his employers favor, acquired stock
and won fortune. With the filing of a
suit on Feb. 13 last knowledge of the
details of dispute between the wealthy
iron master and his lieutenant became
public. Mr.. Frick suing the Carnegie
company, insisted that he had made the
enormous profits for the organization;
that Mr.. Carnegie paid no attention to
the business, and that if he did a great
financial loss would result; that Mr..
Frick was the victim of Mr.. Carnegie's
malice; that Mr.. Frick considered his
stock worth $16,23S,000 and not $4,000,
600, by the payment of which Mr.. Car
negie was attempting to force him out of
the company. Mr.. Frick also accused Mr..
Carnegie OF trying TO make operative a
so-called ironclad agreement made in
1889, whereby any member of the COM
pany might be forced out

COTTON BROKERS ASSIGN.
Price, Mccormick a Co., of New York
City, Fail-LiabiIitie Estimate At
About $13.OOO,OOO.

New York, May 25.--Price, McCor-
mick & Co., one Of the largest bro
kerage houses in the city, failed, with
liabilities estimated at $13,OOO,000.
The firm is a member of the stock,
cotton and produce exchanges and of
the Chicago stock exchange, and has
branch offices in about 80 cities
throughout the United States. The
failure is ascribed to the fact that the
firm was long on cotton in the face of
a fast falling market. A notice on the
doors of the offices of the company
referred all inquirers to VIM. J. Cur
tbs and VIM. n. Cromwell, assignees.
Mr.. Cromwell said it was impossible
TO make a statement concerning the
condition of the firm; that it's bust
ness is very extended and covers sew
eral branch agencies. The total liza
bilities, he said, are about S13, 900,
nearly all of which was secured. He
added that statement would be sub
mitted to creditors at the earliest pos
sible date.
The firm is composed of Theodore
II. Price, William G. Mccormick, r.
G. NJ. Stewart-Wortley and Walter w.
Price, with George Croker, of San
Francisco, a special partner on an in
vestment Of 100000. Mr.. Mccormick
is of the well-known Chicago family
of agricultural implement fame, and
Mr.. Stewart-Wortley is a son-in-law
of Rear Adm. Schley. The firm was
organized January ?, 1897. Of the
partners, Mr.. Croker is now in Eu-
rope and Mr.. Stewart-Wortley is on
his way back from Europe.
