house bill and in addition providing
for temporary form of civil govern
ment for the island was begun, Sen
ator Foraker rep, Ohio. chairman Of
the committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico, being in charge Of the

Carter rep, Mont) dealt vigorously
with the Quay case in the course of his
explanation as to why he will vote for
the former Senator from Pennsylvania,
Notwithstanding he voted against the
seating CT Mr.. Corbett of Oregon in the
last congress. Senator Fairbanks (rep.,
ind) then delivered a set speech in
support of the conference report on the
financial bill. which bill. he declared
marks large and Intelligent step for
ward in our monetary history. He made
an argument on the silver question.
holding that the maintenance Of the
gold standard with silver circulating as
currency at a parity with gold is the
only bimetallism possible with SO vast
a difference existing between the values
lOf the two metals. The republicans had
done everything that had ever been
done for silver and the opposition were
DlmetalllSts in theory only. Senator
Butler Cdem., n. c. followed with
/ brief general discussion on the uues-
ton, particularly attacking the power
which he said was conferred upon the

amendment to the Porto Rican bill. It's
effect is to have the tariff laws of the

his amendment speaks for itself. 1t ex-
tends the constitution over Porto Rico
and by so doing implies that it cannot
be extended to the Philippines or else
where but by legislative action.

senung an argument for the seating of
Quay. Senator Elkins rep. ". Va.}
said Quay's merits or dement's. or his
personality should have nothing to do
with the case. Senator Elkins main
tanned it was clearly the intention of
the trainers of the constitution thai

senate by two senators, that as a
corollary to that proposition the chief
executive of a state is empowered at all
times to fill vacancies that happen dur
! ing the recess of the legislature The
quay case was then laid aside
/ Washington. March 2-Within two
hours after the special message from the
president recommending the immediate
passage OF bill 10 have all moneys
collected upon Porto Ricln goods since
the Spanish evacuation of the island
used for the relief of Porto Ricans had
been read to the house the house had
passed and sent the bill to the senate.
The message came like a bolt out of a
clear sky TO the minority They were
at first inclined to hail it with delight
as reproof Of the majority for the
passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill.
Republican leaders, however, had the
bill ready to carry the presidents rec
concentrations into effect Mr.. Cannon
(rep., HID asked immediate cOnsidera-
ton. 1t was only when the debate
opened, it having been agreed that %
minutes should be allowed on each side.
that, under the leadership of Mr..
Bailey (reX), the democrats began lin
ing up against the bill because it

silver republicans voting with the re-
; publicans in the affirmative.
