FREE TRADE FAVORED.
The SENATE Insulnr Committee De-
cupied with Porto Rican Affairs

The Senate Committee on Porto Rico and
Pacific Islands gave a hearing yesterday to
additional statements Of delegates repre-
senting the Porto Rican Chamber OF Com
merce. All of the delegates urged freedom
of trade between the island aud the United
States. sayirg-that it was necessary to the
complete rehabilitation OF Porto Rico. and
that II would be largely beneficial TO the
sugar, tobacco, AID fruit interests OF the
island.
G. 4. Finlay, British Vice Consul at San
Juan, and an extensive sugar grower, was
enc OF the commission. He said he had
$4,000 inyes.ed in sugar. IL cost 3 I-2
cents tsilyer1 g pound TO produce sugar
The tarif duties In this country made the
profits of sugar production very small The
cost of labor had been increased by United
States occupation. Senator Perkins said:
You and We are face to face with a
proposition that we are likely to have COM
petition for the products Of Porto Rico
and the United States from that section.
What have you TO say to that?"
Mr.. Finlay replied that with equal priv
ileges in the United States markets the
people of Porto Rico would be satisfied.
The people OF the island had made up their
minds to become Americans. The price Of
ldDVI NdS DelNee0 ana
40 cents a day.
Speaking OF the coffee production. which
was something more than 60 per cent OF
the products OF the island. he said that
with free commercial intercourse he be-
lieved most of the coffee would find mar
ket in the United States. Although there
was no duty on it, Porto Rican coffee must
have a higher price thar Brazilian coffee
or 1t could not be produced. 1t was a bet
ter coffee.
Charles Armstrong. merchant at Ponce.
gave some information on the subject Of
wages. He said that when the Americans
occupied the island they Increased the rate |
OF wages at the various ports to 81 per |
day in gold. In the interior, aside from the |
increase on account OF the higher value OF |
money and the establishment OF the eight |
hour system, there had been no increase |
Freight rates had been increased by the
Executive order which went into effect
January ]. that all goods should be carried
In American bottoms.

ORGANIZED LABOR AGGRIEvED.
A Protest Against the Tagging of
Employees mt the Nnvy Yard.

A Protest Against the Tagging of
Employees mt the NAVY Yard.
The members OF organized labor in the
District are dissatisfied with the manner
in which their fellow workers are being
treated by the authorities at the navy yard.
They have reported their grievances to the
commandant in charge and have appealed
to the Secretary OF the Navy. but have not
had the alleged wrongs righted. and now
they have decided to appeal to President
Mckinley and to Congress. The matter was
brought up at a meeting OF the Central
Labor Union last night. 1t was stated that
the facts in the case have been submitted
to two members Of Congress who are
friendly to organized labor. and that every
thing possible to alleviate the condition OF
the employees at the navy yard will be done
The trouble at the navy yard. as has
heretofore been stated. is the result of The
rating" and tagging systems used here
in reference to the employees The 't1~-
ging'' system requires each workman TO
register his number every day he works.
In the event that he for any reason what
ever fails to do so his pay is cut short.
An instance of the injustice which has
been done the members of organized labor
recently at the navy yard is cited in the
of what is termed third rate
carpenter TO foremanship. This foreman.
employees of the yard claim takes every OPP
portunity to discharge members of organ
lied labor and fills their places with I'M
skilled mechanics at the rate OF $3.50 day.

THE ROBERTS CASE.
The n-Eiect VIII Speak
in His Own Behalf To-day

1t was determined yesterday by the
Roberts Investigating Committee that
after presentation OF the reports today
against tie right Of the Utah Congress-
man-eieet 10 seat on the floor. Chairman
Tayler would open the case for the fsa-
jority OF the committee and control the
time for his side. while Mr.. Littleheid
will do likewise for the minority OF the
committee. A vote will be taken Thurs
day al i;sD p. IN. under the stipulation.
While much interest is manifested u
the arguments of Messrs. Tayler and Lit
ilefeIa the chief speaker Of the confess
VIII be Mr. Roberts himself. who statsd las.
night that he had prepared his case with
great care, and trusted the House would
at least grant him his seat. to which he
still contends he Is entitled on the prima
facie case.
Mr.. Littlefeld Will probably be support
ed by several others who share his views
among them Representative De Almond OF
Missouri, who signed the report with him.
1t is also probable that MIR. Richardson.
the Democratic ieader. will speak in sup
port OF the minority report.
Mr. Lacey of Iowa and other leaders in
the House are inc med to believe the House
was too hasty in its action on the Roberts
matter. but see no way in which the HoGse
can be induced TO reverse its position to
the extent of seating Mr.. Roberts.
Should the majority report be adopted,
as In all probability II will be. the case
will then be closed. and Mr.. Roberts VIII
secure neither his seat, his salary. nor
mileage and other allowances. His seat
would be declared vacant and the Governor
of Utah would be at liberty to call spe-
cial election to fll the vacancy. On the
other hand, should the minority report be
adopted. he will be sworn in and resolH-
ton will Immediately be presented ex-
pelling him. Mr.. Roberts intends to ap-
peal to the courts il he is not seated and
he can find reason TO believe the courts
would have power to take cOgnizance in
his case. The appeal would probably be
made TO the Supreme Court of the United
States.

TEXAS FLOOD.

Austin, Tex, April This city is to-
night in pitch darkness. with raging
river, one mile wide and swollen far be-
yond it's natural banks, roaring and surg
ing through all the lower portion Of the
town. having spread destruction and
death in its wake. In addition to the
vast loss to property interests. it is calcu-
lated that between thirty and forty lives
have been sacrificed, and the reports
coming in from tho tributary county to-
night do not tend to improve matters.
The food is not unlike the disastrous
Johnstown food some years ago, in that
a raging river, already swollen far be-
yond its capacity, bore tao heavily upon
an immense dam spanning the river here
breaking it and letting loose reservoir
of water thirty miles long, half mile
wide and sixty feet deep, to aid in carry
ing destruction down tho valleys Of the
Colorado river.
The great dam in the Colorado river
gave way at noon today from the snor-
nous pressure oil water and debris and
with roar and crash swept the val
leys below the city, wrecking the i'm
mense light and power plant and drown
ing eight workmen.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.

San Antonio-The heaviest rain and
electrical storm in thirty five years visit
ed this city and the entire southwest
last night, flooding cellars and overflow
ing San Pedro creek and San Antonio
river.
The only train into San Antonio to-
day vas on the International & Great
Northern from Laredo. No trains have
gone out. Railroad bridges in all direc.
tions have been washed away.
No telegrsphic communication can be
had west of Del Rio on the Southern
Pacific and the damage beyond that
point is not known. 1t will be many
days before any trains can run to III
Paso.
In Rockport many houses were blown
of the foundations. Shipping suffered
most. Out OF about thirty-fve boats
lying at anchor in front Of the town,
only three rode the storm suffering no
damage.
