Resolutions -IntrOducsd In the House and
senate-sharP Criticism CT the
Wardner Conditions.

Washington, March Ex-senator Al
/ len IN the senate and Representative
Lent IN the house to-day introduced
/ Joint resolution setting forth the con
tinued maintenance Of martial law IN
the Occur d'AIene mining country, and
closing with the following:
BE 1t resolved, That the further use
] Of the troops Of the United States IN
aiding or assisting In the maintenance
Of martial law within the said county
Of ShOshone Is improper, unnecessary
and unlawful, and that the president
Of the United States be requested
forthwith to withdraw said troops now
in Shoshone county, unless the said
permit system be forthwith immedi-
ately revoked, the habeas corpus re-
stored to the citizens Of said county
and martial law declared to be at an
end.
"Be it further resolved. That the
sense and purpose Of this resolution is
in no wise to influence the president Of
the United States In maintaining and
keeping said troops within the limits
Of the said county Of Shoshone to aid
the proper officials in the execution Of
the civil law therein"
The resolution is preceded by a long
recital of the alleged improper condi-
tiOns existing, in part as follows:
Whereas, at all times since the 3rd
day Of May, 1899, the county Of Sho-
shOne has been in a state Of peace and
not Of war, nor instruction, nor rebel
lion; and
"Whereas, it is not within the power
or authority Of the governor Of Idaho
or the president Of the United States
In a time Of peace to continue martial
law on account Of any fictitious neces-
sity, and
Whereas, In violation Of the four
teenth amendment Of the constitution,
citizens have been arrested without due
process Of law and held for indefinite
periods at the VIII Of the authorities
claiming to exercise martial law IN said
county, without any Judicial process of
legal warrant; and
whereas, The form Of commitment
and warrant Of arrest Is a revival Of the
infamous system OF lettres de cachet by
which innocent citizens were arbitrarily
arrested and held during the reign Of
Louis XIV. of France and his despotic
minister, resulting Ia the revolution Of
the people against such despOtic ty-
ranny, and the same is but a repetition
Of the unlawful arrests made under
the warrant Of the early kings Of Eng
land, abolished by the bill Of rights
and the Magma Charta, and such war
rants are illegal, unconstitutional and
unprecedented In the United States
and abhOrrent to all classes Of citizens,

THE PORTO RICAH BILL.
Foraker Presents the Senate Meas
ure, as Amended by Republicans.
The IEIanders viii Pay No Duty on Food
gtuns and EeesssItiss-It is the Com
promise Favored By the
President.

Washington, March 2S.-In the SEN
ate Tuesday Senator Foraker intro
duced the Porto Rico bill, as amended
by republicans IN conference. The
bill 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; articles sent from Porto Rico
to the 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 compromise IS that sug-
gested by the president. It takes the
house bill as it finds il, with Is per
cent, Of the Dingley rate, and leaves
that rate Of duty intact on all articles
imported into the United States
from Porto Rico. This, of course, in
eludes tobacco and sugar, but in all
such cases It amounts to giving Porto
Rico a preference Of S. cents over any
other country. FOodstuffs, including
corn, -four, meat, and similar articles,
viii 90 from the United States into
Porto Rico absolutely free Of tax, and
with them certain other articles,
like agricultural articles, which are
now on the free list established by the
president under the military tariff.
so far as tariff rates are concerned,
the Porto Ricans, under the new law,
viii receive duty free pretty nearly
everything they are in the habit Of i'm
porting at all.
