have agreed on a compromise measure. The
Senate conferrees receded from the Senate
amendment limiting the appropriation TO the
revenues collected on Puerto Rican fmporta-
tions until January last, and restored the
clause in the House bill applying TO future
revenues. reading as follows:
Together with any further customs revenues
collected on irnportations from Puerto Eico
since January i. 1900. or that shall hereafter
be collected under existing law.
The provision in the Senate amendment speci-
flying the purpose for which the money shall be
used is retained. but addition Is made deciar-
ing that it shall be for the aid and relief Of
the Puerto RicanS.
The bill agreed on reads follows:
That the sum of zoos. .45J. being the amount
of customs revenue received on inporta tions by
the United States from Puerto Rico since the
evacuation OF Puerto Rico by the Spanish forces
on October Is. 1898. to January /. 1890 together

Hshed in Puerto Rico. and for the aid and relief
of the people thereof, and for public education

lie purposes therein until otherwise provided by
law: and the revenues herein referred TO- al
ready collected and 70 be collected under exist
ing law. are hereby appropriated for the pur-
poses herein specified. out Of moneys in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated.
SENATOR MORGAN'S SPEECH
Discussion of the Puerto Rican government
and tariff bill was resumed in the Senate to-
day. Mr.. Morgan. of Alabama. made speech
dealing with some Of the constitutional phases
OF the measure. He maintained that, as the
Treaty of Paris was the supreme law Of the
land it impossible for the United States
to abandon either Puerto Rico or the Philip
pines. He held, also, that the Constitution
extended. to certain extent, at least over
the acquired territory, and that the inhabitants
of Puerto Rico were citizens of the United
States
Among the many reports circulated at the
Capitol this afternoon one which gained
some credence. 1t IN substance that the
conferrees would incorporate in their report on
the Puerto Rican Relief bill provision to
delegate TO the President authority to fix rates
of duty between the United States and Puerto
Rico. That, of course. could not be done by
Congress The report seems to have grown out
of the fact that the conferrees were considering
a modification of of the amendments to the
bill to make 1t palmer that until the law
IS changed the duties collected shall be ex-
Iended for the aid and relief of inhabitants
of Puerto Rico. for the support OF schools, Tor
public improvements and such other govern
This modification, which made a part of
the report of the conference committee, some
what broadens the scope of the Senate amend
ment.

BRITAIN EXPLAINED TO THE SENATE.
Washington March 20.-The Senate to-day in ex-
ecutive session considered the trecty between the
United States and Great Britain regulating the dis
posal of the estates of citizens of country who
may die in the other. Senator Wolcott of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, had charge of the
treaty. and explained that 1t was the same as the
which had failed of ratification at the last
session of Congress account OF the limitation Of
the session. He explained the legal bearing of the
agreement, saying that it covered practically the
same ground as treaties with other countries on
the same subject. Senator Davis chairman of the
Committee Foreign Relations. also made state
n2ent in support of the treaty.
Senator Bacon. of the same committee criticised
the treaty comforting a power on tha Federal
Government in the regulation of estates which was
an infringement OF the rights of the States and
Territories. He said that the pending treaty went
further than any agreement with any other Power
in the infringement of this right and Especially
criticised the authority granted by the treaty. 70
United States to extend the provisions OF the treaty

The treaty was amended striking out the tim.
limit for ratification, which made {; expire IN

The Grand Jury gave significant indication yes

Railway investigation had undergone a relapse.
John ID C,rmmins and Commissioner Keating both
waited on the Jury in compliance with their sub
ppnas Yesterday morning. but were told that the
Grand Jury had time to hear them at present,
but would send for them if their testimony was de-
sired later.
Mr. Crimmins apparently thinks with many
other people. that since Third Avenue stock has
gone to near rar again. and the road Is controlled
by the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, the
stockhold who had practically no voice in the
recent disastrous management of the company, Will
not suffer much if ALL and that the Grand Jury
VIII not make any investigation. Mr.. Crimmns Is
quoted saying this point:
The Grand Jury is usually moved to investiga-
tions of this character by public sentiment. Win

quiry? l think not.
Public sentiment in the matter has been largely

probable that their money gone, they-and the
public with them-wanted to know who got II. But
that the absorption of the Third Avenue by
the Metropolitan assures Third Avenue sharehold-
