Then Senator Foraker came to the
conclusion that the dinner pail, like

from straight foot ball and the other

Measure.
Washington. March 3.-Within two
| hours of the receipt of Il special mes
| sage from the president recommending
| the immediate passage of n bill to
place in his hands all the moneys col
| lected upon Porto Rican goods since
the Spanish evacuation of the island,
and all hereafter collected. under eX-
listing law, TO be used for the relief OF
the Porto RicanS, had been read to the
house yesterday the house had passed
and sent to the senate bill to carry
ont the recommendation. The message
came like n bolt out of clear sky to
the minority. They were at first in
clined TO hail it with delight as Il re-
proof of the majority for the passage
of the Porto Rican tariff bill on
Wednesday. The Republican leaders.
however, had a bill ready to carry
the presidents recommendations into
effect. Cannon asked immediate con-
sideratiOn for it and this was given.
The bill was passed by Il vote of 162
to 1OI, thirteen Democrats, two POpu-
lists and two silver Republicans vOt-
ing with the Republicans in the affirm
atiye.
Debate Was Pretty Warm.
Twenty minutes were allowed each
side for debate, and the debate was
pretty warm. The Democrats wanted
direct apprOpria ton for the relief of
the Porto RicanS rather than the plan
proposed by the president. Berry of
kentucky said that money should not
be given the people the title to which
was in doubt, and he was of the opin-
ion that every dollar collected since
the ratification of the Paris treaty had
been unlawfully collected. SulZer
Oem) of New York said: The presi-
dent is good politician. He has heard

piauSe). He is trying to square him

SENATE on THE SAME SUBJECT.
Teller Offers an Amendment That Precipi-
tateS a Lively Debate.

tates Lively Debate.
Washington. March 3.-Interest il
the Porto Rican tariff measure wa,
| transferred from the house to the sen
ate yesterday when consideration OF
bin embodying substantially the pro
visions of the house bill. and in addi
ton providing for temporary form oi
civil government for the island of Por
| to Rico. was begun in that body. For
aker, chairman of the committee or
Pacific islands and Porto Rico, was IL
| charge of the measure.
Scarcely had the reading of the bill
been concluded when Teller proposed
an amendment providing. in brief. that
the purpose of the pending bill is sim
ply to establish a temporary govern.
ment in Porto Rico for the purpose OF
enabling the people of the island later
to establish n permanent republican
government. in which there shall be ac-
corded the people the right of self-gov-
ernment: the adoption of a constitution
and the establishment of n permanent
form of government not interfering
with the sovereignty of the United
States over the island or its inhabi-
tantS.
This amendment was followed by an
other by Stewart of Nevada striking
out the provision levying Il duty on
Porto Rican goods. and providing that
they should he admitted free into the
United States. \ spirited debate en-
sued, and was participated in by For
aker. Teller. Stewart and others. For
aker cOntendod that the duties levied on
Porto Rican products We're necessary
because the island was in need of rev
enueS. Every dollar levied as duties
would be turned into the treasury OF
the island. and the committee held that
this was the only practicable means of
securing the needed funds.
In discussing the measure Teller said
that by it The people are citizens of
the United States, the committee has
established United States courts, the
ports are United States ports. and in
every way the committee has deter
mined that the island shall be part of
the United States. And then the cola
mittee inserts the remarkable provision
that we shall levy duty upon Porto
Rican products brought into the United
States.
Foraker. replying to Teller said:
''The committee considered the status
of the people carefully and concluded
that the inhabitants of the island of
Porto Rico must be citizens. subjects
or aliens. We did not want to treat our
own as aliens: we should not hold them
as subjects: and we therefore adopted
the term 'citiZen.' -
