BE Cut short.

Washington, April 1O.-At a special
meeting of the Ways and Means Commit
tee held to-day, It was decided by vote
Of to to report the Porto Rican bill
as it passed che Senate, without amend
ment, and to move a concurrence in the
Senate amendments.
This means the acceptance OF the terri
torial form of government for Porto Rico,

other lesser changes in the tariff and
other features.
The vote on concurrlng in the Senate

publican member Of the committee who
first dssented from the bill. 1t was made
known during the meeting that the bill
would be taken up tomorrow, and q

Judge Brown May Order the Men

New York, April 1O-Contrary to the
opinion which has prevailed that Benja-
min d. Greene. Col. John f. Gaynor, f.
II. Gaynor and w. r. Gaynor indicted for
conspiracy and emhezzlement in the Car
ter case would be discharged from custody
on account of the refusal of Judge Brown
in the United States a. ourt to grant an
order removing them to Georgia for triaJ
it was said to-day that Judge Brown may
hold the indicted men until additional evl-
dence is taken before United States
commissioner.
Judge Brown refused to grant the order
last Wednesday on the ground that there
was a lack of evidence to prove the indlct-
ment.
The authority for this statement as to
the future conduct of the case said that
the outcome depended entirely upon the
action Of the Georgia district attorney,
who is directing the proceedings.
He is empowered TO request the court to
hold those indicted until additional evil
dence be taken or he may secure a new in
dictment, have the prisoners discharged,

JONES ON THE DEWEY BOOM.
Believes Bryan VIII he Nominated
on the First Ballot

New York, April Ex-senator K. Jones
of Arkansas, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, came to the
city from Washington tonight for a brief
visit
While he is here on a business mission
he will, in all likelihood, meet and talk
with prominent Democrats. James s.
Oliver, sergeant-at-arms of the National
Democratic Convention, met Senator
Jones' After short talk Mr.. Oliver an
nounced that he and Mr.. Jones would go
TO Washington tomorrow and that active
arrangements for the convention would
begin at once.
Senator Jones said that the expressed
purpose of Admiral Dewey to run for
President had not unduly excited him or
any other Democrats. In fact, he thought
the Dewey boom would be short lived,
and that under no circumstances could II
interfere with Mr. Bryan's candidacy.
When asked what he thought of the anti
Bryan sentiment which was said 10 be
growing up, particularly among the Dem
Ocrats of the East, Chairman Jones said:
II have heard something of anti-Bryan
conferences and such things, but I doubt
if there is anything in it. 1t is my be-
lief than Mr.. Bryan will be nominated on
the first ballot, and that there will be no
opposition of any weight against him In
the convention"
