PLEA FOR THE PORTO RICAN
TARIFF BILL.

In the April Forum Albert ]. Hop
kins, one of the Republican members
of congress who voted for the Porto
Rican tariff bill as it passed the
house, has an article giving the
grounds on which the bill was favored
by the Republican majority. The
points he makes are certainly very
forcible. We quote the following
from the article:
al tariff duties on products imported
from the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico r unconstitutional, free
trade between them and the United
States being guaranteed, the same
as in the Ease of free trade between
Illinois and Iowa. This means the
breaking down of our tariff laws
against the products of cheap
labor. 1t means, also, the
breaking down of all leg
islative protection against Asiatic
coolies; the Chinese and Japanese la
borers in the Hawaiian islands and in
the Philippine archipelago becoming
American citizens. Itmeans, further
IItOit, tudt I1S SSt1olicLto III
Manila and other parts of the island
of Luzon, by aggregated capital, to
manufacture with cheap labor prod
ucts for the use of the people of this
country, have the right to send such
products without let or hindrance
into the United States to compete
with the products manufactured by
high-priced American labor. Under
this construction of the constitution,
the ii, OO0, 900 people living in the
Philippine archipelago become a dis
tinct menace to the laboring inter
ests of the United States; so that
these islands, instead of proving a
blessing, as all Americans believed
they would when Admiral Dewey
achieved his brilliant victory in
Manila bay, viii become a urse to
the people of the United States.
BY the treaty of peace, Spain is
permitted, for a limited number of
years, to enter all her products into
the ports OF those islands under the
same terms and conditions as like
products are entered from the United
States. Ii by the acquisition of those
islands free trade is Established be-
tween them and the United States,
then, during the period stipulated in
the treaty of peace, Spain can have
all her products entered into the
ports of those islands free of any Gus
tom duty or other taxation. Under
the favored nation clause, which is
found in our treaties with England,
France, Germany, Russia, and other
European countries, if SPANS pro-
ducts are entered into the ports of
those islands free of duty, the pro-
ducts of all these other countries are
entitled to like privileges, and would
also enter free of duty. From there
they could be shipped to any of the
ports of the United States a freely
as goods are shipped from Ohio to
New York. II viii thus be e that
under this construction of the con-
stitution all our custom laws can be
annulled, and the United States
made absolutely a free-trade eoun-
try.

IND THE BOER RESOLUTION
Mason Says He Will Attempt to Gat
 a Vote.
A CONTEST CASE IN THE HOUSE
On Tuesday the Conference Report on the Financial Bill Will be Final ly Disposed of-A Lively
 Debate Expected

Washington, March 1.-The senate will continue to give attention to the Porto Rican bill and the Quay resolution this week, with a possibility that there may be a diversion in favor of the Hay Pauncefote treaty and Senator Mason's Boer resolu- tion.
 / MT. Mason says 1t is his purpose to call up his resolution again and to get a vote upon 1t. if possible. Senator Davis has ex- pressed an intention to ask the senate to take up the treaty during Che latter part of the week. but Sena tor Foraker, in charge of the Porto Rican bill, expresses con- fidence that Senator Davis will not bring the treaty forward at time to embarrass the Porto Rican measure.
 Speeches on Porto Rico will be made Monday by Senators Rawlins and Turner, and probably later in the week by Senator Nelson. The debate on this measure pro5a- ply will be general and possibly quite spirit ed. The members of the committee on or der of business emphatically contradict the report that the committee is exerting itself to secure the amendment of the Porto Rican bill, saying that the committee has nothing to do with the formation of legis- latlon. The senate will meet at 10 o'clock Monday, two hours in advance of the usual hour of convening in order to take up the Alaskan code bill, the reading of which has not yet been completed.

ROBERTS FILES A PROTEST

Dreifontein, March d1.-All of yesterday was occupied in fighting. The Boers main- tained stubborn rear guard action along running front of twelve miles on very difficult ground. The British were advance ing in three columns General Tucker to the southward occupied Petrusburg un- opposed General Kelly-Kenny, after fol- lowing the river bank, moved in the direc- ton of Abraham's kraal.
 At Driefontein, about eight miles south of Abrahams kraal, the Boers were found posted in considerable strength on the ridges connecting several kopjes. where they had mounted guns. General French's cavalry and General Porters brigade sup ported our guns. The Boer artillery was accurately handled and the British cav airy found a task harder than they had expected. General Broadwood, with dog ged perseverance, moved altogether six miles southward, trying to find a means to get around, but the Boers followed be- hind rising ground and even attempted to outfank him.
 Meanwhile, the Sixth division of infantry, advancing on the Boer left, slowly forced the enemy to retire Had the infantry been able to move faster, the Boers would have been enveloped
 The last shot was fired at 7:30 p. m. This morning not a Boer was to be seen. The prisoners belonged to President Krugers own commando.

GUNNER RUN DOWN
 IN DOVER STRAITS Captain and Third Mate Jump- ed from Bridge as Yes
 seI Went Down

London, March 11.-It is now learned that the British steamer Cuviver, commanded by Captain Quirlton, which was reported Friday last sunk by an unknown steamer, was run down in the straits of Dover the morning of the 9th, by a steamer whose identity is not known. The three survivors. who were landed at Calais, France, shortly after the disaster, say a great hole was torn in the Cuviver, sinking her in less than five minutes. They further state that the thirty men comprising the crew were be- low at the time of the collision and were unable to reach the deck and man the boats So quickly did the rammed vessel go down, and that the colliding vessel paid no heed to tho cries for assistance shouted to those on beard, and steamed away.
 The captain and third mate were seen to jump from the bridge as their vessel went down. Two of the survivors clung to capsized boat until picked up by the Wind sor and taken to Calais. It is believed all the other members of the crew of the Cuviver are drowned.

CAPTAIN WHITE
 MADE HOT SPEECH
Severely Scored the Governor on His Stabbing Constitutional
 Convention Act.

Florence, March t1.-(Special.)- )-In his speech here yesterday afternoon Captain Frank s. White chairman of the Morgan campaign committee of the state, simply scored the governor and his business ad- minstraltion to finish. He had the large crowd with him, and his speech created immense enthusiasm from the very begin- ming. His tribute to Senator Morgan was one of the finest efforts ever heard here, and the criticism was frequently made af- ter the speaking that the orator was the equal of Senator Morgan himself when it comes to scathing ridicule and sarcastic re- ferences
 Captain White was unmerciful in his roast of the governor, his convenient par liament and his henchmen, styling him King Joseph I. and showing his self-esteem and inordinate vanity up in its most ridicu- lous light On the constitutional conven- tion proposition Captain White was at his best, telling the audience in very effec- tive manner of the hypocrisy and double policy of the chief executive in killing his own offspring-the constitutional conven- ton. And after stabbing the sucking off,

 Captain Whites denunciation of the gov ernor's constitutional convention policy was very scathing. He reported very encourage ing prospects from every county in the state, and concluded by saying that when the primary vote is counted after the 14th of April Governor Johnston will be the worse defeated man who ever offered for a position in the gift of Alabama. The Nor gan club of Florence was organized imme- diately after the speaking by the election of Hon. John B. Weakley as preaident, T. E. Barry secretary, and Captain Sterling Brown and Thomas J. Phillips as members of the executive committee. At night Cap taiS White addressed the Morgan club of East Florence, which numbers two hundred men. The membership of the uptown Mor- gan club Is already nearly three hundred.

BRITISH REITERATED
Boers Tried to Lure British Into Trap
 But Failed

London, March 12.-The Morning Posts correspondent at Dr'eifontein telegraphing Sunday, says:
 "The fight throughout was much involv- ed. The enemy evacuated and re-occupied positions, subtly concealing their intentions and only withdrawing their guns a few minutes prior to their impending capture. Their guns outranged ours, the naval bri- gade not arriving in time.
 "Our cavalry horses were completely eired by the repeated withdrawals. The turning movement was begun too late. The enemy attempted with heliograph to lure detecting the deception, we retreated.

ATTACK UNEXPECTED
British Expected Opposition Would be
 at Petrusberg

London, March 12-445 a. m--The war large water pan at Dreifontein, a position which has apparently considerable defens- i've advantages. The Boers who retreated to Abraham's kraal from Poplar Grove must have moved southward or else fresh force must have come from Bloem. fontedn or the Orange river.
 The opposition met at Dresfontein was somewhat unexpected, the idea being thaa fl there were any resistance 1t would be at Petrusberg. Profiting by their experi- cree, the Boers were prepared for Brit ish fankIng movement, but in extending tnelr position In order to avoid being out 0anked they had weakened their center. thus making 1t possible for the British infantry to carry uhis with a bayonet charge.
 Lord Roberts dfgniied protest against the abuse of the white flag Is regarded as the most important fact of the situation. According to the accounts supplied by the correspondents, the instance appears to have been most fragrant, and there Is no doubt that Lord Roberts will carry his threat into execution. The dispatch from Burban as to the engagement near Pome- roy seems to explain the. Boer accounts os skirmishing in the Helpmakaar district, and although Colonel Bethuen's force num- bered only a few hundred, ehe news shows that the Boers are in considerable number near BIggarsberg.
