PORTO RICO BILL DISCUSSED.
Foraker For and Pettus Against, the
Principal Speakers.
lBy Tie Associated Press.


Washington March S-Formal discus
sion of the Porto Rican Tariff and Civil
Government Bill began in the Senate to-
day and continued unnterruptedly for
four hours and a half. The principal
speakers were Mr.. Foraker (Rep., Ohio)
in charge of the measure, and Mr.. Pet
tus ala. DEM but lively colloquies oc-
CURED, in which other Senators were
participants.
Mr.. Foraker explained the measure in
detail and gave the reasons why the
committee had determined upon levy
ing of a tariff upon Porto Rican pro-
ducts. In his opinion it was impossible
for a direct tax TO be levied upon the
people of the island to support a local
government, because of their present
destitute condition. The committee, he
said, had conveived the idea of placing
a small tariff on Porto Rican products In
order to raise a sum sufficient, with the
sum otherwise raised, to give the people
of the island not only a good government,
but also to build school houses and to
make necessary public improvements.
Then, too, it was necessary that the
question OF the extension of the Consti-
tuition over insular possessions should
be determined by the Supreme Court,
and, by the very provisions of the bill,
it would be inevitable that the Supreme
Court should pass upon that question.
Porto Rico and the Philippines were on
the same basis, SO that the courts de-
cision would determine our right to levy
tariff on products of the Eastern
archipelago
Mr.. Mason Uls.) moved to discharge,
the Committee on Foreign Relations from
further consideration of his resolution
introduced December 9th last, expressing
sympathy for the Beers. Under the rules
the motion went over until tomorrow
PETTUS SCORES THE BILL.
Mr.. Pettus (Ala.) then addressed the
Senate. He congratulated the President
on the position he had taken in his last
annual message favoring free trade be-
tween the United States and Porto Rico.
The public press is now trying to
make us believe that the Secretary of
War is the author of the pending bill
and that the President has acceded to
the provisions of the measure.
For one" declared Mr.. Pettus Il re.
fuse TO believe this charge against the
President. Though he may desire re-elec-
ticn, he was a brave soldier and is an
able and generous man. For him it Is
not everything in life to be reelected to
the Presidency of his party. He has
acted for the common good of all the peo.
pie. If he approves your bill then / may
believe any vile story against a good
man.
Mr. Pettus maintained that the policy
of the bill was bad aside from the ques.
ton OF law 1T is Illegal" he declared
land is hardly decent
Referring to the amendment proposed
by Mr.. Davis, Mr. Pettus said
THE Senator proposes to send over to
the Porto Ricans the Constitution in in
stalments-a little now and "a little
then
In conclusion Mr.. Pettus besouSht the
Senate not to attempt by act of Congress
to change the Constitution.
