VOTE IN THE SENATE.

Porto Rican Bill Was Passed by a Major
ity Of Nine.
WASHINGTON, April B. The Porto
Ricaa tariff and government bill has
passed the senate by a vote of 40 to 81,
six Republicans voting against the
measure. Only committee amendments
were adopted. The Davis amendment
providing that mo duties on imports or
exports after the passage of this act
should be levied or collected on any ar.
ticles imported from the United States
into Porto Rico or from Porto Rico
into the United States" was lost 30 to
40. Nelson's free trade amendment
met a similar fate-29 to Al. The de-

Great Interest shown.
1t has been evident for some time that
the senate. but Notwithstanding the
fact the interest in the matter both OF
senators and of the public had no
tagged a bit. All day the galleries were
crowded. From IL o'clock, when thu
senate convened, until the hour wher
the voting began, advocates and oppon
ents Of the bill brilliantly and eloquently
maintained their convictions and thu
auditors were kept in a state of constan'
excitement.
The particularly notable speeches o.
the day were delivered by Mr.. Masor
Oils. in opposition of the measure. ant
Mr.. Foraker (O.) who replied to
brief speech by Mr.. Wellington (Md.)
1t was the Ohio senator's desire to clea,
up any misunderstanding or misinfur
nation concerning the bill.
Just before the adjournment a sensa
tional episode occurred in which Mr.
Wolcott (Colo.) accused Mr.. Lodg
(Mass.) Of uttering that which wa
"unqualiiedly false" The difficult.
arose over an effort by Mr.. Lodge t
have the Spooner bill made unfnishe'
k-siness. This displaced the Quay cas-
!. and the friends Of the Pennsylvani
senator made things lively for half a
hOnr.

MR.. CLEVELAND'S EXAMPLE.
The Last Democratic President
showed How the Gold Standard
Might be Thrown Down.

Regardless of the gold standard
act, Mr.. Bryan, as president could
order the treasury to pay the inter-
est on bonds in silver, and thus force
gold TO a premium and start the coun-
try downward toward the silver basis.
The gold standard act, while for
bidding such action, provides no PEN
atty for disobedience. 1t is what
lawyers call law of imperfect obli-
gation-one good enough in the hands
of friends, but of no avail as against
an enemy. Mr.. Cleveland, the last
democratic president, showed us how
an executive of one party could deal
with laws of this character, enacted
by the other party. Ii was in allu-
sion to them and in explaining his
practical notification of them. that
he used his famous phrase, ''innocu-
Gus desuetude." These big words
startled and puzzled the country,
but they really meant only that GER
tain republican laws were suspended
or in a state of harmless disuse. They
were laws, like this one of the gold
standard, without a fixed penalty for
violating them. Mr.. Cleveland pro-
posed, therefore, to let them remain
uneXecuted and he described this con-
dition with the big words, "innocuous
desuetude;" and that is just the con-
dition in which Mr.. Bryan would seek
TO leave the gold standard law He
could easily reduce it to condition
of "desuetude," but it would be far
from "innocuous." 1t would give the
country a quick and energetic start
down a steep and slippery descent.
1t would be very doubtful whether
Bryan himself could stop it after it
was once fairly started. The panic
and alarm of a change from the gold
to a silver standard would be precip-
itated on the country at once and the
gold standard law would be of no
avail against it. The only course with
such laws is to keep them in the
hands of their friends.

Pekin has no manufactures and no
trade in any proper sense. 1t is fed
mainly by supplies from the south rn
provinces and by flocks raised in the
northern part of China. The thorough
fares leading across it from gate to
gate are broad, unpaved avenues. more
than 100 feet wide. The side streets
are lanes.
The different characteristics OF the
Chinese is their intense hatred OF the
white man. But Japan does not come
in for a share of this hatred. She
could pacify China and save her IL the
other nations could give a clear field.
Perhaps Japan will have opportunity
after China has atoned for the MUIR
dered ministers. She has studied the
Flowery Empire as carefully as Prus-
sla had studied France before the
Franco-Prussjan war-a study that led
TO such quick and brilliant victory for
the Teuton arms. Japan alone cou.d
make such a study She alone has
the mental, moral and physical equip
ment. She is the friend of China. She
owes her art. her literature and her
religion to China. Her educated men
read Chinese more generally than edu-
Gated men abroad read Latin. For
centuries the mind of the Japanese
student has followed in the train OF
Chinese thought. The code Of Con-
fucius governs the japanese house Old.
There is therefore a sympathy between
China and Japan impossible between
China and any other nation.
II may seem odd at first thought
that China should like Japan, but she
does like her. though Japan gave her
such a drubbing only few years ago
Since that war she looks upon the
japanese as beloved cousins. She
hates the white devils as keenly as
ever, and is as contemptuous OF tn I'm
as ever-though that contempt is Ike
ly soon TO change-but she is eager
for Japan's friendship She feels that
Japan can teach her and she is wiling
TO learn from her, but she breads tie
European touch as the touch of a rep
tile. Japan is welcome. When three
years ago China asked her to send
over officers to teach in every depart
ment Japan did so, and China sent 400
of her best young men TO study in ia
pan in the various branches of the I'm
perial Administration.
