Washington, February 2S.-The admin
istration has dealt the constitution a stag
gering blow, supported by congressman
who voted against their convictions. The
Puerto Rican tariff bill was whipped
through the house today by narrow
margin, and Imperialism has been sane
toned. The president had to use all of
his influence to get the bill through, and
only by bulldozing some and cajoling
others was the task accomplished; even
as it was, the bill was a compromise.
The trump card the republican man
ayers of the house had to play was
Speaker Henderson. He declared to the
republican members who hesitated be-
tween partisanship and duty TO their coun-
try that the republican party WAS Tight
ing the first battle OF the campaign OF
1900. IF we lose this battle" he said
I'VE may lose the control of the hou c

raised here is to be the great issue OF tht
