A Common Demand.
(From the indianapolis News.)

Thus there is not one legitimate argument left
in favor Of the policy Of the House tariff bill. We
do rot need the revenue. The revenues needed by
Porto Rico can be secured in other ways We are
under obligations to give the island free trade
BY the change OF government it is deprived Of
free access - the Spanish and Cuban markets. 1t
is practically excluded from market by the
DingIey tariff. And even the lower rates proposed
will seriously hamper the trade OF the island The
people Of this country and the people OF Porto
Rico like want free trade.

so Frepch movement confidently predicted
throughout the Continent a week or so
ago. seems to have come to dead halt.
The reason may be more or less obscure,
but it is doubtless connected with the firm
understanding believed to subsist between
England and Germany.

No doubt it was with a proper pride,
which his smiling features tell" that
Representative 0verstreet conveyed him
self. the Gold Standard bill, and a new gold
pen and holder, to the White House We'd

to the act in question. Just why Mr.. Over
street should plume himself particularly
on this measure. it might not be easy to
discover. 1t certainly does not resemble
the bill which he introduced, and which
the House passed.

How Seals Are Hunted.


The method of hunting the seals is most curious,
While they are asleep the hunters glide along the
banks and get between them and the sea Then,
shouting and waving Gags and umbrellas, they
drive the helpless animals inland like foeks Of
sheep. Here they met by Indians armed with
clubs. who attack the seals in groups Of one
hundred or one hundred ard fifty. killing with
every blow OF the club. In iorty days they ire
qucHtiy succeed in Staying the bundled thousand
seals permitted by law.

The little tea party OF sO-called Cold

situation. 1t has met to the number OF

that it cannot support Bryan and the

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Adjournment June 12.-During the
past week the Republican managers have
reached the final conclusion to force an
early adjournment of Congress. week
ago they were undecided as to whether
1t would be advisable to rush the ses-
sion to an early end or 10 permit the ma
chinery of legislation to run down natural
". At the White House. it is said, the
subject has been one of serious considera-
tion. Until the Porto Rican Tariff bill was
suddenly forced upon the party by Henry
OXnard and the Beet Sugar Trust. 1t was
said the President was anxious to get Con-
gress off of his hands at the earliest prac-
ucable date. But the precipitation of that
issue brought to the amiable Mr.. Mckinley
unexpected trouble in the nature of very
serious party split. 1t is known that If
there is anything Mr.. Mckinley likes bet
Ter than the Presidency it is harmony in
the ranks of his party just at this juncture.
Hence when discord was threatening a
week or ten days. ago the President is said
TO have suggested to Mr.. Hanna and Cen
eral GTosvenor the advisab. lily Of prolong-
ing the session of Congress for the double
purpose of getting before the country,
through prOtracted debate in the Senate.
the fullest possible explanation of the P5r-
to Rican bill and the Admin STATIONS
colonial policy and also in the hope Of re-
storing harmony among the brethren ill
Congress before they got back to their con-
stituents and began to talk. However,
now that harmony has already been re-
stored. Mr.. Mckinley is stated to have
changed his opinion as to the length CT the
session, and to have been brought around
to Mr. HanIas view that the sooner ad-
1ournment is forceL the better it will be
ali around. MIR. Hanna is being quoted as
favorable to adjouruing one week ahead OF
the Philadelphia Convention. II his wish
prevails the session, then. will be brought
10 an end June II. Curiously enough. Rep
resentative Hopkins of Illinois is said to
have confided to friend just before the
House met yesterday the belief that Con-
gress will be ready to adjourn June II. 1t
IL. therefore, inferred that this date, or
one very close TO it has been selected by
the party managers. There is such a vast
amount OF business pending in bath houses
that it will be impossible to get through
with any considerable part of it by June
Il. Consequently it is inferred that the
Hanna-Payne ship subsidy scheme. which
is far behind many other pet measures on
the calendar, will be carried over to the
next session. 1t is believed that the pro-
motors OF that scheme OF loot and plumber
have concluded it expedient not to force
the bill through until after the Pres dental
election.
