Mr.. Cochran of Missouri said that the

ate's Executive Session.
The Senate in executive session yes
terday afternoon spent more than an hour
in fruiuess effort to confirm the nomi-
nation of William d. Bynum. of Indiana,
nominated early in the session to be a
member Of BOARD Of General Appraisers Of
New York. When an attempt was made
TO take a vote. the Democrats engaged in
hlbusteriug. refused 10 answer to their
names and broke a quorum.
Speeches were made by Senators Jones
and Berry Of Arkansas and Money Of
Miss sissippi Mr. Jones made a long
speech against the nominee. taking the
ground that he was not a Democrat The
Board Of General Appraisers consists Of
Tine members, the law requiring that not
more than five shall belong 10 the same
political party. Mr.. Jones C0ntended
that Mr.. Byuum was not a Democrat and
that IN making his appointment the Pres
ident had violated the law.
Bynum appointment was defended by
Messrg. Spouner and Fairbanks. who as
serted that the nominee was not Repub-
lican. and that fact being established, it
made no difference what his politics might
be- The law did not say that the minority
members should be Democrats. but that
not more than five should be members Of
the same party. It was conteRdod In re-
ply by Mr.. Jones and other Democrats
that Bynum had declared himself 10 be a
Republican ard a1idavits were submitted
"a show that Bynum during the last
Presidential campaign had stated that he
was done with the Democratic party.
Mr Tilman said it was well known
that Bynum did not vote for Bryan. It
had been held in Ohio that a man who
did not vote for Hanna was not 4 RepUb-
lican. BY the same token a man who did
not vote for Bryan was not a Democrat.
The contest will be renewed at the next
executive session.

Hearing on the House Bill Authoriz-
ing n Consultations.


The House Committee on the District of
Columbia held a hearing yesterday on the
bill authorizing the consolidation of GER
tain street railways in the District The
bill was opposed by Nathaniel Wilson,
attorney for Mrs. l. q Letter.
The railroads authorized to be consoli-
dated by the bill are the AnaCOstia and
Potomac River Company. the BrightwOod
Railway, the Capital Railway Company,
the City and Suburban the Columbia
Company. the Georgetown and Tenley-
town, the Metropolitan, the Washington
and Great Falls, the Washington and
Rockville, the Woodside and Forest Glen,
and the Glen Echo Company. The hearing
was given at the request of counsel fOr
Mrs. L. z. Letter, who opposes the pro-
posed consolidation as a shareholder in
the Metropolitan Railway Company.
Mr.. Wilson stated that Mrs. Letter owns
one-twentieth Of the stock Of the Metro
politan Railway Company amounting to
1.270 shares. She opposed the proceedings
contemplated in the bill, because, as she
contends. it is unlawful, inexpedieut, un-
necessary and intended to deprive her Of
her property In violation of the funda-
mental law of the land.
Joseph Auerbach, of New York, counsel
for the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. asked that time might be given
to answer the allegations of Mr. Wilson
we are not here in the interests of
the public he said. We are here for
our own selfish interests, those of a great
corporation, as Mrs. Letter is here for
herself"
He charged that Mr.. Wilson had not
discussed the situation intelligently. Mr.
Mercer called Mr. Auerbach to order.

The House bill temporarily TO provide
revenues for the Island Of Porto Rico was
taken up in the Senate as the unfinished
business yesterday. A vote was taken on
the free coinage amendment offered on
Tuesday by Mr. Morgan. and it was re-
jected-yeas. Is: nays. SO. Mr.. Davis then
addressed the Senate in opposition TO the
tariff provision of the bill. and in support
OF his amendment making Porto Rico an
internal revenue district.
IN beginning his remarks he said that
in view Of the fact that an early date has
been set for final vote on the bill he
would omit a discussion Of the consutu-
tional questions involved. It cannot be
denied. he declared. that from the time
that the Is per cent Of existing tariff rates
was proposed in the House there had been
a rising tide Of opposition to it.
1t was not protest on the part OF mem
bers Of one political party-it was not on
party lines. It came from every walk Of
life. and was communicated through every
avenue Of thought. II was based upon the
principle that there should be an uure-
strained freedom Of commercial intercourse
between Porto Rico and the United States
He called attention to the fact thar ne
had given notice that morning Of two
amendments to the bill, but said be would,
at that time mention only one Of them.

We insist upon a tariff in a bill which by
its own terms is to expire IN less than
two years. 1t would be far better De de-
elared. 20 let all things alone aud let
existing conditions continue.
The utmost dissDproval Of the House
bill had come from large majority Of
the people of the United States and the
declaration OF the representative men OF
Porto Rico was that they would be con
tent with an internal revenue system ap-
plying las it would TO q great EXTENT 20
distilled spirits As far as protection to
American labor and industry was con-
cerned. Mr. Davis asked what protection
would be given by the levying Of Is per
cent Of the existing tariff rates.
There are. ne said. two subjects Of sci
entiic taxation on which all enlightened
nations raised most Of their revenue-dis-
titled spirits and tobacco. and vet under
the House bill these subjects would re-
main absolutely Uutaxed in Porto Rico.
Their taxation would relieve the situation
so much in every way that he would be
surprised if il did not commend itself to
the Senate.
In my judgment" Mr.. Davis declared
in conclusion. the only course that can
be logically or wisely pursued under pres
ent conditions is 10 abandon this perni-
ci0us m0ckcry Of tariff between Porto
Rico and the United States and to return
to the path of plain duty.
