New York. May 22.=Yesterday's stock
market was disappointing to many opera
tors because they had not over Sunday
carefully weighed the force of the argu-
ments or developments which brought
about the sharp rally of last Friday and
Saturday. There was no sure ground for
sary outcome OF the settlement of the To-
cal gas war as was pointed out in the col
umn yesterday morning, something more
than the relief given to certain capital
lists in this direction is needed to induce
large purchases by capitalists at the
present level of prices for railroad stocks
and industrials not connected with the
iron and steel Industries. The enormous
s~hrinkage in the market price of the last
mentioned issues must have discounted to
an enormous extent the depression or
rather reaction which has taken place in
the various forms of iron production and
manufacture It seems hardly probable

This was the cheap philanthropy which

Littlefield then took up the legal phases

The debate continued at the night ses-
sion.
The debate upon the Puerto Rican tariff
bill was resumed today at II o'clock
Payne, the floor leader OF the majority,
gave notice that on Monday he would
move to close general debate.
Richardson, minority leader, and Powers
appealed for more time.
Richardson said 1t was impossible for
those on his side of the house to express
their views this week, and Powers said il
was exceptionally important that there
portant measure. For himself, he desired
more light upon the subject before he
voted.
Payne replied that there had been a gem
eral understanding that the debate should
run a week.
Jones Attacks the Bill.
Jones Va.), a member of the insular
committee, was the first speaker today. He
discussed the conditions which existed upon
the island Of Puerto Rico which led to the
presidents recommendations of free trade
for her goods and quoted from the testi-
mony before the committee to prove that
conditions were far worse now than when
the president made his recommendation lie
pictured the distress that prevailed On the
island and declared that only immediate
relief could prevent the actual starvation
OF many OF the Inhabitants. Speaking cf
the real motive behind the BILL he charged
that It was disclosed by Moody yesterday
when ne declared that he was unwilling
that 100000 Asiatics should enjoy the i'm
munities Of citizenship In the United States
which had been his birthright as an Amer
lean citizen.

In the course OF his remarks he had read

He had visited Puerto Rico and he spoke
with the advantage of personal observa-
ton. He urged that the needs of the
island could be met by this hill without
the necessity of having tax gatherers go
among the people.
Gardner said the same gloomy fore
podfngs as were heard on this bill had
been heard at every great forward move
ment in this country
The speech of Littleheld and others in
opposition would do much in spreading
doubt and discomfort among the Puerto
Ricans.

the general debate on Monday, with debate
