CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Press (Rep) seems to
be of the opinion that Quay failed of
election to the Senate because of a lack
of ready cash. 1t says: THE price of votes
in senatorial contests in Montana ranges
considerably above the price in Pennsyl-
Vania The highest figure quoted in Har-
ri shurg last session was 5000. while $40
coo was the TOD notch in Helena. If the
Pennsylvania aspirant had had a gold
and several copper mines behind him, as
the Montana winner had, Pennsylvania
would have held the record beyond a
doubt"
Discussing the proposed purchase of the
Danish West indies the Philadelphia
Record (Dem) says: Consistency is
sometimes costly If we shall agree to
pay Denmark 100000 for her West In
dia islands, for which we have no espe-
cial need, the outlay will have to be
charged up to the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. Whilst we maintain the
attitude of warning away other purchas-
ers we can hardly refuse to become pur-
chasers ourselves"
Dozens of pension bills have been intro
duced in the current session of Congress.
The Springfield Republican Qnd) says
at would require hundreds of millions
of dollars to meet the increased expendi-
ture called for by the new pension bills
that have been introduced during the
three weeks that Congress has been in
session. There used 10 be a saying, Moth
ing will satisfy a patriot but place 1t
might now read with pension substituted
for place"
The New York Times Dem) says:
From the point Of view of domestic and
party politics il was, of course. glaring
mistake for Bryan to take sides in the
Boer war The sympathies Of the Ameri-
can people and OF the Democratic party
are divided q to that conflict. 1t is not
campaign issue, and is first-rate matter
for candidate to let alone" as

PONCE, Puerto Rico, March 23.-The
situation here is now more serious
tan it has been at any time since the
terrible hurricane. In many places the
poor are starving. The price of rice,
beans and Goldfish has increased from
80 to 100 per cent.
Demonstrations against the delay of
the United States government in set
Ting open questions have recently
been held at Mayaguez, Yauco, Are
cibo, Aguadilla. Fajardo, Juana Diaz,
Guayama and many other towns. The
people are unable to understand the
delay, and they condemn all Ameri-
cans Unfortunately.
Bad feeling is arising which it will
take years to overcome. Even riots
are threatened.
Trouble is almost inevitable unless
the tension is relieved. Even wealthy
land owners cannot command ready
cash and many Americans are penni-
less, being glad to work for their
board.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 23-Gov. Stunenberg, of Idaho, continued
his testimony before the Occur dAlene investigation committee to-day,
being cross-examined by F.. c. Robertson, attorney for those prosecuting
the charges. The Governor stated that if any arrests were made prior
to the issuance of his proclamation, it was with his authorization and APP

Before Gen. Merriam went to the scene of disorder, the Governor had a
talk with him and told him to take such steps az were necessary to main

When further questioned al to just who was responsible for arrests
Governor Steunenberg said:
Il assume responsibility for every arrest in Shoshone county by Gen.
Merriam o r any one else" He w as asked If he assumed this responsible
iy in the caseo of a man brought from Montana and amounting, II was
alleged, to kidnapping"
Gov steunenberg answered that If it amounted to that be assumed
responsibility for it.
Chairman Hull at this point stated that he had received a letter from
Adjutant General Corbn saying that the War Department as not in
possession of the official roll of prisoners.
The Governor went on to testify that he assumed responsibility for
any arrests made By deputies outside of the State, although he did not
claim authority beyond the State. He did not know that his State depu-
ties made these arrests, but il they did he was the responsible Official
Mr.. Robertson asked If the regular prison in which Federal prisoners
werec confined wa not at Moscow, Idaho. The Governor did not know OF
this; the Use of the stockade, or bull pen" was not the result of any
specific order, but a due to the requirements of the OCCASION.

these, it was pointed out that in many

FRANKFORT, KY, March 2S-The preliminary examination of secre-
tary of State Caleb Powers, charged with abeting the assassination of
William Goebel, began to-day before Judge Moore. The court house was
guarded inside and out by militia and scores of deputy ,sherifs, armed
with Winchester rifles, to prevent possible interference from mountain
GERS" who were reported on their way to Frankfort, but their presence
was Unnecessary is the mountainees failed to appear and no disorder
occurred.
The witnesses to-day included Warde Eph Llard, Detective Dee Arm
strong, Sheriff Bosworth, of Fayeue county, who arrested Secretary Pow
ers and Captain John Davis, and Sias Jones, who is under bonds
charged with completely in the murder. The testimony tended to show
that the shots came from that direction Of the executive building in which
Secretary Powers office is located, although no one swore that the shots
were from the Secrearys office. The strongest evidence probably was
given by Sias Jones, who was in Governor Taylors ante room when the
shooting took place. No evidence was adduced tending to show that the
defendant was implicated in any conspiracy, but in one of the frequent
wordy disputes between the attorneys for the defense and the common
wealth, the fact wa brought out that F. Wharton Golden, who is said to
have made a confession, will be put OF the witness stand before the hear
ing ends. Prosecuting Attorney Polsgrove said tonight, that sufficient
evidence had already been heard to warrant holding Powers, but that the
case would be much stronger before he was through. On the other hand,
former Governor Brown, for the defense, expressed himself is well pleas
ed with the situation, regarding the evidence so far as decidedly weak.
1t is probable that all of the witnesses fr the prosecution will be heard
by tomorrow afternoon.

PITTSBURG, Pa. March 23.-The
coroner's inquest into the death Of
VIM. H. Daley, the representative Of
Thomas Potter Sons & Company, of
Philadelphia, at the West Penn hos
pital on January 10Th which was be-
gun march 8th, finally terminated at
the tenth session held here to-day.
Interest to-day centered in the charge
of Coroner Jesse M. McGeary to the
jury. The inquest has attracted wide
spread interest. Daley was insured in
the Travellers Accident Insurance
Company and Aetna Life Insurance
Company for amounts said to aggregate
500, 900. He registered at the Hotel
Henry on January 25th while on his
way east. Testimony was given to
show that he had fallen from a settee
at the hotel and into the bath tub in
his apartment. He was taken to the
hospital on January 2Sth. His family
was. not satisfied with the certificate
furnished by DR.. S. H. Ralston, that
death resulted from ureamia, and an
autopsy was held in Philadelphia on
February 18th. Physician who con-

letter received by him~from George
w. Van Sicklen, president of the
American Counsel of South African re-
publics, offering a loan of $4,000, 900 to
the Portuguese government as the
sum necessary to pay the Delagoa bay
award, that Mr.. Van Sicklen's over
ture was somewhat out of order, as
no such award had as yet been pro-
claimed, and that he should reply to
his communication to that effect. M.
Duarte said that the proposal, in any
case, should have been sent to the
Portuguese government direct. He
will forward it to Lisbon, with fore
bodings as to its being taken very
seriously. Furthermore, he said that
his country was not in need of money,
as the offer implied; also that some
time ago loans of many times over the
amount now submitted had been Of
fered his government by certain Euro

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
Senate to-day adopted the conference
report on the Puerto Rican relief bill,
by a vote Of 35 to Is, practically a
strict party expression. No Democrat
voted for the report, but Mr.. Stewart,
(Nevada), voted with the Republi-
cans.
The time of discussion was consum-
ed principally by Mr.. Tillman, CDem.,
S. c., who made a fierce attack up
on the measure as agreed upon in con-
ference and accused the Republican
Senators and the Republican party of
indiscretion, hypocrisy and dirty
work" His speech was quite charac-
t%eristic, and was listened to with in
terest by his colleagues on the floor
and the people in the galleries.
When the Senate convened to-day,
it agreed to the conference asked for
by the House on the diplomatic and
consular bill.
Mr.. Pettigrew's resolution, coming
over from yesterday, requesting that
the President, if not incompatible with
the public interest, send to the Sem
ate an itemized statement of the ex-
penses of the Philippine commission
together with the amounts paid each
commissioner, was agreed to.
The Republican Senate caucus COM
mittee to-day authorized Senator For
aker in definite terms to propose sep
aration of the tariff feature from the
Puerto Rican governmental bill and to
attempt to pass the House tariff bill
without amendment. The programme
is to vote down all amendments if pos
sible to do so, and to pass the bill as
it came from the House without any
changes whatever.
Republican ranks in the Senate IA
voring free trade with Puerto Rico de-
cided to-day to oppose any action look
ing to ar early vote and to ask for
further time in case the question
should come UP. The committee went
over the situation in detail, consider
ing all the points at issue. There were
suggestions as to the necessity of
amending the bill so as to suit the de-
mands of the Republican free trade
clement but these were considered as
more than Offset by the situation in
the House and the necessity of main
tanning the party tariff principle. The
opinion was strongly expressed that
any changes whatever in the House
bill would %endanger it's acceptance by
that body and in the end this fact con-
trolled the committees decision.
The House to-day passed one hun
dred and forty-two private pension
bills. Late in the day, Mr.. Talbert, Is.
c., raised the point of no quorum.
The attendance was small at the start,
but a quorum was finally secured, how
ever. after a call of the House.
The conference report on the Puerto
Rican relief bill was presented and
1 D. m. tomorrow set as the time for
voting on it.
