REAR ADMIRAL WALKER AND

NEW YORK, April 3.-The canal COM
missioners Rear Admiral Walker, Samue!
Pasco, Col. Ernst and Emery johnson,
were passengers on the Atlas line steamer
Allegheny. which arrived today from Cen
trail America. Rear Admiral Walker said:
I'VE have completed our portion of the
work of investigating the possibilities of
both the Panama and Nicaragua routes.
We have spent three months in the bush
and have collected n great mass of data
which we will put into shape for our report
to be handed into the President next De-
cember. Nothing can be said on the subject
that would give the public clear idea
until this data has been arranged and put
into shape"
Admiral Walker was asked whether the
commission favored fortified canal. He
replied that he could not enter into that
subject. Our duty will be to state the
facts and to present to Congress the result
of our survey and work. Both routes have
their advantages, and these will be set

The admiral added:
Everywhere we were well received and
entertained. The sentiment of the people

PORTO RICANS PAY THE DUTY.
Who Bear the Burden of Importing
Sugar.


The resolution offered by Mr.. Grosvenor
and passed by the House yesterday. calling
for Information as to the tariff paid on i'm
portauons from Porto Rico and who paid
it, is designed to make IT appear that the
sugar trust pays the tariff tax and is, there
FORE in favor of free trads. The purpose Is
to strike at Senator Jones of Arkansas,
who, when the Porto Rican appropriation
bill was in the Senate, proposed as an
amendment that the tariff collected be re-
turned to those who paid it The purpose
is to show that the amendment, if adopt
ed, would have put the money in the pock-
cts of the sugar trust which might have
been the case, inasmuch as the people who
import the sugar are Officially known by
the department as the ones who pay the
duty.
The amendment to Mr.. Grosvenor's Ieso-
luton proposed by Mr.. McRea, providing
that the names Of those from whom the
sugar was purchased should be included, II
practicable, was designed to get at the real
payers of the duty, but 1t was opposed by
Mr.. Grosvenor and failed.
The importers are, of course, of record
as having paid the duty, and there Is no
doubt that the sugar refiners will appear
in the response of the Treasury Depart
ment as having paid the duty: This is a
fiction of formality. based on the fact that
the importers are they who formally make
the payment to the government. But it
appears by the statement of Mr.. Payne,
chairman of the ways and means commit
tee. made on the floor of the House and OK
planned to The Star, that. while the sugar
importers (chief1y the trusD pay the duty
in this country, they deduct the amount of
the duty from the market price at New
York in making payment for the sugar to
those from whom it is purchased. The
Porto Ricans get paid for their sugar less
the tariff" as Mr.. Payne put 1t, which
means that the Porto Ricans pay the tar
If. This hocus-pocus does not, however,
appear on the treasury books.

SENATOR CLARk,s CASE.
Argument for the MemOrfalists Begul
by Mr.. Hirnev.

Argument for the MemOrialists Begun
by Mr.. Birney.
Argument in the case of Senator Clark
Of Montana was begun by counsel for the
memoralists today before the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
Arthur A. Birney, counsel for the me-
morialists, was the first speaker. He be-
gan by laying down the conclusions of law
upon which the memorialists rest their
case, but said no effort would be made to
make much Of these. because they
considered that their case was too strong
to rest it upon any mere technical ground
Strong as was the law in their favor the
facts were still stronger. Mr.. Birney con-
tended that Mr.. Clerk had become a candi-
date as early as August, 1898, and had, he
urged, determined to go to the Senate re-
gardless of all considerations Of virtue and
morality. While claiming the necessity of
wrestling the control Of state affairs from
Mr. DAILY Mr.. Clark, when on the witness
stand, had been entirely unable to state
any case in which power had been exer-
cised in opposition to the best interests of
the state.
Mr.. Birney commented at length upon
Mr.. Clark's testimony, contending that the
senator had put himself in a most unen-
viable position.
Mr.. Birney had not concluded when the
committee at l o'clock adjourned until
Thursday.

LONDON, April 3.-Queen Victoria, who
left Windsor Castle at $50 o'clock last
evening en- route for Ireland, arrived at
Holyhead at 9:10 am. today.
The authorities of the place, the officers
OF the warships in the harbor and a guard
of honor waited the arrival of her majesty
The general public was excluded from the
station. When the queen alighted she was
presented with the usual address of well
come. She gave her reply to Lord Denbigh
who handed II to the officials. 1t read:
Il thank you for your loyal and dutiful
welcome and for your expressions of devo-
ton to my throne and person. The prac-
teal and generous sympathy for those who
have suffered or who are likely to suffer in
consequence of the present war, which has
been shown by all classes of my subjects,
has been great consolation to me during
the time of suspense and anxiety through
which we are passing. join in your hearty
prayer that peace may soon be restored
and that the other blessings of heaven be
long continued to my empire, and l wish
all prosperity to the country You represent
The queen then walked across the plat
| form, leaning on the arm of an Indian at
tendant. and later embarked on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert which,
piloted by the Irene. escorted by the royal
yacht Osborne and the cruisers Gaatea
and Australia, steamed out of the harbor
for Kingstown.

Chicago School Trustees Dissatisfied
With Modern Methods.

CHICAGO. April 3.-Charges that teach
ers in public schools are following such
Advanced methods that they are failing

correctly or spell correctly. DR.. E. Benja-
min Andrews, superintendent of schools, ad-
mitted that E,any of the teachers We're de-

ton. The fault he said. was not so much
with the teachers as with the system in
which they were instructed, and in which
they We're instructing others.
Mr.. Sexton urged the requirement of one
hours study of English grammar every
day. He said:
The trouble is that the attempt is made
to teach spelling without spelling book
the English language without a grammar,
etc We are advancing too fast; let US stick
to the grammar and the spelling book no
matter if they are called old-fashonsd.
Give the pupils one hour every day with the
grammar-not English literature. Hiawatha,
Julius Caesar or anything of that sort, but
the old-fashioned. technical grammar"
A motion that pupils give one hour each
day to the English language. with especial
reference 10 its correct usage, was adopted.

THE CASE OF Mr.. QUAY
NOT LIKELY TO HE ACTED ON THIS
SESSION.
Nothing to Interfere With Appropria.
tion Bills, and Early Ad-
journment.

Opposition has developed to action at this
session on the Philippine resolution report
ed from the Senate- Philippine committee.
This resolution, together with appropria-
tion bills and conference reports, has pre-
cedence over the Quay case and the Quay
case if taken UP for the purpose of per-
mitting one or more speeches to be made,
can at any time be displaced by merely
calling it up. There is some uncertainty,
however, whether it will be called up at
once. The extent of the opposition has not
yet been determined. The objection is not
SO much to the terms of the resolution, but
is based principally upon the idea that the
public mind is now SO much infiamed over
the Porto Rican tariff, such strong opposi-
ton to 1t existing among the people, that 1t
would be better not to enter into another
discussion of the government of our new
possessions at time so close to the presi-
Dental election that it might have a dis
turbing influence upon politics, and certain
ly could not receive the calm and dispas-
sionate consideration which It might at an
other time, and which the Importance Of
the question requires.
Early Adjournment.
The republican leaders having determined
that they want Congress. to adjourn by
about the first of June, there is no time to
spare for consideration of appropriation
bills If this desire is to be accomplished.
The purpose is not to keep any appro-
priation bill waiting on the calender after
it has been reported, and is ready for ac-
ton. 1t Is understood. moreover, that the
Quay case IS neither to interfere with the
disposition Of these bills nor with an adj
journment.
At odd times when there is nothing to do,
speeches on the Quay case may be made,
but by the agreement entered into, it must
give way to those matters which are es-
sential before adjournment, and when these
are disposed of, II the Quay case is still
hanging in the air. 1t will not be taken
into account to prolong the session of Con-
gress. Under the agreement 1t is also SUBJ
ject to a question of consideration, and the
opinion is held by many that if the COM
mittee on elections decides by practically
unanimous vote to unseat Clark of Mon
tana, that case, by a vote Of the Senate,
will be disposed of ahead of that of Mr..
Quay, the reason being obvious, that if
Clark is not entitled to seat he should
not before being unseated be permitted to
vote on the other case, his vote possibly
changing the result to favor Quay.

FOR A HALL OF DETENTION.
Proposed Amendment to the D,.t.,c,
Bill.

Mr.. Mcmillan today reported to the Sem
ate from the committee on the District of
Columbia an amendment to the District of
Columbia appropriation bill, as follows:
ITO enable the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict of Columbia to provide suitable
place for the reception and detention of the
children under sixteen years of age and dn
the discretion of the Commissioners of
girls and women over sixteen years of age,
arrested by the police on charge of offense
against any law in force in the District of
Columbia, or hold as witnesses, or hold
pending investigation, examination or
otherwise, $4,000 or SO much thereof as NAV
be necessary; provided that all persons held
or detained under public authority prior to
the adjudication of cases in which they
may be involved shall be held at the place
so provided"
The above amendment was a portion of
Senate bill 1854, from which it will be elm
mated in order to place 1t on the District
appropriation bill.
