Newport News, Va, with a cargo of
American coal, which is to be shipped
TO the districts of Bohemia and Sax

this country is not only the granary
but the coalield of the world.

QUESTION is SETTLED.
Republicans Agree Upon "A Conn
promise I'm Porto Rico LegisIa-
ton Dispute.

Washington, March 27.-At last the
Porto Rican question is settled. Tho
compromise is agreed upon, and the
republicans are harmonious once
more. All the conflicting interests
have been adjusted. The legislation
which will be agreed upon embraces
Is per cent. duty on all goods sent
from the United States to Porto Rico,
except foodstuffs and the necessities
of life, which are free of duty; ar
ticles sent from Porto Rico to tho
United States, Is per cent. duty; the
full Dingley rates in Porto Rico
against countries other than the
United States; the limitation of the
duty to the time when the island
needs the money; and, finally, a com
plete system of local government to
GO into effect at once.
Practically speaking, the compro.
mise is that suggested by the pres
ident. 1t takes the house bill as it
finds it, with Is per cent. of the Ding
ley rate, and leaves that rate of duty
intact on all articles imported into
the United States from Porto Rico.
This, of course, includes tobacco and
sugar, but in all such cases il amounts
to giving Porto Rico a preference of
So cents over any other country.

There is an ominous and too little
recognized fact in regard to the man
in the MOON. Strictly and slangless-
ly speaking, he is no longer in it. He
has been supplanted-the old, old
story-by a woman, and moon-gazers
now grow rapturous owe a fair profile
of great and classical beauty. 1t
seems to require special qualifications
to see the lady and some scoffers even
go so far as to say that you must first
have one in your eye. But be that as
IL may, there remains for masculine
minds the depressing fact that one
more man has had to abdicate.
