APPEAL BY PORTO RICANS.
Beg the Senate to Aid and Save Them From
Worst Distress.
(By the Associated Press. }

San juan p r.. March ia large
gathering of 10000 people, headed by the
San Juan Chamber of Commerce, assem-
bled at the palace of the Governor Gen
eral today to submit a petition with ref
erence to the needs of the island. On be-
half of General Davis, Lieutenant Colonel

that Porto Rico would receive justice
and expressed pleasure at the interest in
the question.
An account of today's proceedings viii

The crowd was orderly and dispersed
without confusion amid "Vivas" for the
United States and the Governor General.
Following is the text of the petition in
part:
THE people of Porto Rico, of all
classes, represented by the mayor of this
city and by the Chamber of Commerce. in
peaceful assembly, convened. call upon
Governor General Davis respectfully to
direct his attention and through him the
attention of Washington. to the follow
ing most salient points of the present
critical condition of the island.
The CONSERVATION into which the bus
mess community in general has been
thrown on account of recent cabled news
from the United States setting forth the
negative attitude of the Senate as re-
CARDS the tariff question.
The utter inability of the island to
hold out much longer under existing con-
ditions. as the Senate's delay in coming
to a decision on the tariff simply ag
gravates the almost absolute state OF
penury throughout the island.
THE enormous depreciation of proper
ty more especially on plantations, and
the ruin staring a majority of planters in
the face, as the result of the natural
uneasiness which has made itself felt
among capitalists and loan institutions
leading them to a curtailment or to shut
off entirely the credit necessary in NOV
ing crops.
THE need of undertakings of a public
nature instead of relief supplies, which,
although necessary, tend to pauperize
the working classes"

THE HOUSE REFUSES TO CONCUR
In the Senate Amendments to Porto Rican Re-
lief Bill.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington March 19.-The House to-
day refused to concur in the Senate
amendments to the Porto Rican relief bill.
The Democrats supported a motion to
concur on the ground that it would avoid
further delay in extending relief to the
inhabitants of the island but the Repub-
licans stood firmly behind Chairman
Cannon in his demand that the House
should insist upon its original provision
to appropropriate not only the money col
lected on Porto Rican goods up to jan
uary LIST but all subsequent monies col
lected or to be collected. The remand
err of the day was devoted to District of
Columbia business, The Pension Appro-
priation Bill was sent to conference.
Messrs. Barney (Wis.), McCleary (Minn.)
and Bell (Colo), were appointed confer
eeS.
When the Porto Rican Appropriation Bill
was called up Mr.. Cannon moved that the
House on-concur in the Senate amend
ments and Mr.. McRae (Ark.), moved con-
currence.
Mr. Cannon explained the changes made
in the bill by the Senate. Mr.. McRae
said that the essential difference be-
tween the two bills was that the House
bill affirmed the right of the United
States to impose the Dingley rates against
Porto Rico, whereas the Senate provision
upon this subject was indefinite.
Members on both sides, he said were
agreed chat the duties collected on Porto
Rican goods should be returned. the
Democrats taking the position that there
should be absolute free trade, between
the islands and the United States Demo
cratic applause).
Mr. Bell (Colo), advocated concurrence
in the Senate amendments because, he
said, the language of these amendments
distinctly assumed the installation Of a
civil government in Porto Rico in the
near future.
Mr. Bell (TeXas), said he was aStoniSh-
ed to hear the gentleman Cannon move
concurrence in the Senate amendments
When the bill was originally before the
House Mr.. Cannon had appealed for

currence will send to the island imme-
date relief. Inconvenience will cause

the Senate in specifically setting forth the
purposes for which the money was to
be used. In the course of his remarks
he paid his respects to the anonymous
Cabinet officer" who some days ago hat
fsattacked aasseraffys p1lftfeians thosesgwhS
had refused to support the Porto Rcar

purpose as he explained, of perfecting
the bill so far as possible from the stand
point of the committee in order that a
reprint might be had of the measure.
The first amendment suggested by Mr..
Foraker related to the citizenship of the
inhabitants of Porto Rico. AS reported
the bill provides that the inhabitants of
Porto Rico shall be "citizens of the Uni
ted States" the amendment offered by
Mr.. Foraker inserted some words after
the term citizens making the para
graph read shall be deemed and held to
be citizens of Porto Rico and as such
entitled to the protection of the United
States
The amendment was objected to by
Mr. Bacon tGa), and went over.
Another amendment eliminated entire
ly section five of the original Senate
bill and inserted in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing:
THE Commissioner Of Navigation shall
make such regulations, subject to the
approval of the Secretary of the Treas
ury as he shall deem expedient for the
naturalization Of all vessels owned by
inhabitants of Porto Rico on April nth.
1899. and which continued to be so owned
up to the date of such naturalization and
for the admission Of the same to all bene-
fits of the coasting trade of the United
States And the coasting trade between
the United States and Porto Rico shall
be regulated with the provision of law APP
plicable to such trade between any two
great casting districts
This amendment was agreed to. After
some further amendments. principally
the phraseology of the original measure,
had been offered the Senate at AS p.
m. adjourned.
