fortunately they are headed in the other
direction and cannot be stopped. unless all
signs fail. Unanimous consent was secured
to-day by Senator Foraker TO vote on the
Porto Rican bill and pending amendments
next Tuesday, at 4 O'Clock.
Senator Davis Is one of the ablest men in
public life. He has made many important
speeches In the Senate. in which he is now
serving. his third term, but he never made,
either in the Senate or elsewhere greater
speech than that he delivered to-day, in
opposition TO the Porto Rican tariff Its
logic unanswerable, its facts unasailable,
Its thought profound. its sentiments hui
name, its eloquence lofty. its conclusions ir-
resistibie, to the unprejuuIced mind it
possesses all the elements OF an grafton
that makes the reputation of a man and
marks an epoch. 1t possesses one other ele-
ment of greatness. it's delivery at this time
was an act of high moral courage. Senator
Davis's views we're known through the
amendments he had proposed to the bill.
the adoption of either of which would pro-
duce the revenue Porto Rico demands,
while giving it free trade with the United
States, and at the same time asserting the
websterian principle against the Calhoun
doctrine as to the power of Congress to leg
islate for territory belonging to the
United States" He could readily have ex-
cused himself from further effort when he
found the majority against him and gone
with the tide, but instead he has breast
ed IL in the forlorn hope of inducing his
party to abandon the ''pernicious mockery''
OF Porto Rican tariff, and TO return to
the path of 'plain duty"
The Post tomorrow will say: Senator
Proctor gave notice that he would speak
to-day on Porto Rico, but later agreed to
give way To Senator Beveridge. The In
dianian did not expect to speak until Mon
day, but he Is called TO the bedside of his
Ill wife. and this caused the change He
will address the Senate Immediately after It
convenes. and at the conclusion of his
speech will leave at once for DansviIle. ".

A dispatch received here from the Boer
headquarters in Natal announces that the
destruction continues of coal mines likely
TO be useful to the British. The Dundee
colliery has been blown up. the machinery
has been destroyed and the mine has been
rendered useless for three months to come.
According to dispatch from Kroonstad.
Commandant Olivier has joined Generals
Groblaar and Lemner, who are safe. Gen.
Delarey is still sick at Pretoria, but he will
proceed to the front on Sunday. Trains
are frequently leaving with burghers for
the fighting line on this side of Bloemfon-

says Ii learns that Generals Olivier, Grob-
laar and Lemner have arrived at a point
sufficiently far north to relieve all appre-
tensions of the possibility of their being
cut off It is expected they will arrive at
Winburg In few days and effect juno

ably oppose Lord Roberts.

This is said to be done at the instigation

No Action by United states.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-It is said at
the State Department that the United
States minister at Constantinople is not
acting in concert with the representatives
of other foreign powers at that capital in
seeking to prevent the increase OF the
Turkish customs duties. Although the
United States naturally would profit by any
concerted action which tended to prevent
such handicap on trade as is proposed
through the increase of customs duties, the
subject is one which our government re-
CARDS as properly within the sole purview
of the European powers. The same state
ment applies to the proposed combined pro-
TEST against the Turkish stamp duties.

however, was British subject and was
obliged to leave town 10 insure his safety
