PHILADELPHIA, March l6-The col

TO be the most serious problem that CON
fronts the mayor, his secretary. and others
who have for so many weeks been cndeav-
Oring with little success to coax dollars
and dimes from the pockets Of Phlladel-
phia's business men. 1t now appears that
there is great doubt whether the Conven-

hall, as they have been threatened with an
injunction to restrain them from making
any alterations in the building unless GER
tain requirements named by an organiza-
tion known as the Philadelphia Exposition
Association are complied with
These pertain largely to money and as
that is the scarcest thing in the city OF
Penn at this time. so far as the Conven-
tion and Convention affairs are concerned.
it is doubtful whether the members of The
association can be appeased. If thev are

OF politicians 10 use their property.
The auditorium was built by subsprin-

that II the Exposition was a success they
would get their money back. The EXpo-
Huon was q success from a monetary
point of view. but they have not yet had
their money returned and some of them

The Military Affairs Committee Of the

executive session at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, and remained behind closed doors
until 11:3O O'Clock, when the public was
admitted. whereuPon the committee i'm
mediately adjourned until 1-SO.
The reason for the long executive session
was that the Republican members Of the
committee fear that too much Democratic
campaign material is being incorporated
in the record Of the hearing The question
considered was a dual one-frst. whether
the Democratic campaign matter already
in the record should be expunged. and. sec
ond. how the further introduction of simi-
lar matter might be avoided.
II was determined that the record I'D to

after it shall contain only questions and
answers. and that comments by or con-
tentions between members Of the commit
tee shall not be reported.

The House bill appropriating over two
millions for the relief OF Porto Rico was
taken UP in the Senate today. the question
being on the amendment offered yesterday
by Mr.. Allen. declaring that By the force Of
the Paris Treaty OF Peace the Constitution
was extended over the Island OF Porto Rico
and its Inhabitants.
Mr. Chiffon addressed the Senate. dspIor-
ing generally the adventures Of Aslauc
politics, into which the Cuban war had lei
the people OF the United States.
The Porto Rlcan question he regarded a.
one OF the grayest that had been brought
into American politics in forty years. The
proposition TO levy duties on American
goods IN Porto Rico or on Porto Rican goods
in the United States was without prece-
dent. II was nothing but the tyranny OF
spoliation Of the strong when dealing with
the weak.
Our Constitution, Mr.. Chiffon said

that the American power goes. and Il is

Of an American Congress in dealing witr
our new acquisitions from Spain should be
