ESCORT OF WARSHIPS
GOVERNOR ALLEN TO LEAVE FOR
PORTO RICO PROBABLY TO-DAY.
His Vessel, the Dolphin, to BE Con-
vOyed by a Cruiser, a Battle
ship and a GunbOat.

WASHINGTON, April 2O-Although he
had taken formal leave of the employees
of the Navy Department yesterday, Mr.
Allen to-day was still discharging the du-
ties of assistant secretary of the navy.
not having been notified of the confirmation
of the nomination of Mr.. Hackett his
successor. Governor Allen has already be-
gun to feel the cares of his new office,
being busly engaged with the adjustment
of many details which require to be set
tied before he can safely assume office as
governor general of Porto Rico. He spent
an hour to-day in conference with Secre-
tary Root in this work.
Although no report has come from Gen.
eral Davis respecting the necessity for
continuing the Porto Rican courts as at
present constituted until the new judicial
order can be established under the terms
of the organic act. it is realized that the
island might be thrown into state of
semi-anarchy were it deprived completely
of courts for even a short period and IL
is probable the War Department will make
a special recommendation to Congress on
this subject, proposing to the House of
Representatives an amendment to the
pending Senate resolution extending the
functions of the customs offices in Porto
Rico so as to include the courts.
Governor Allen expects to sail for Porto
Rico tomorrow. He will be accompanied
by Mrs. Allen and his daughter Miss AL
len. The Dolphin is now making ready for
the trip at the Washington navy yard.
With ordinarily good weather the vessel
should arrive off San Juan about the 9th
inst The New York and Texas will sail
from Bermuda early tomorrow morning
for San Juan, the Machias sailed yester-
day for SANTANA bay, San Domingo. and
will be one of the escorting squadron.

SETTLEMENT OF TROUBLES.
Building Contractors Agree to joint
COnference-Situatio at CrOtOn
Dam-Alleged Anarchists.

CHICAGO, April 20.-The first move to-
wards the final settlement of the long
standing labor difficulties In Chicago, was
taken this afternoon when the building
contractors council sent a committee to
Mayor Harrison's Office to participate in a
joint conference with the building material
men. This action, 1t is asserted by the
labor leaders opens the way for a joint
meeting later between the bosses, union
men and supply dealers, for which efforts
hitherto have failed.
An arbitration committee consisting of
representatives of the National Founders
Union and the Iron holders Union of
North America met here to-day to con-
slider the demands of the iron molders of
Chicago. with reference to a wage agree
ment for 1900. The Chicago iron molders
want an increase in wages and the COM
mittees are expected to come to an agree
ment without interfering with the uniform
scale with the rest OF the country. The
committeeman from the Founders Union
are E. b. Dean, Indianapolis, Walter
Read Milwaukee, The molders, or union
men, are represented by j. X. Valentine.

MAY LEAD TO SCANDALS.
New Porto Rican Law Defective in Re.
gard to Granting of Franchises.

CHICAGO, April 20.-The Times Herald's
Washington correspondent says: "A seri-
Gus defect in the Porto Rican bill recently
passed has been discovered, and efforts
are now being made to remedy it as quick
ly and as efficaciously as possible This
defect applies to the. almost unlimited
power in the hands of the Executive Coun-
Gil of the island government in the matter
of granting franchises. The Executive
Council consists of eleven men, of which
six will form majority. According to the
bill six of the Council shall be citizens of
this country and five native inhabitants of
Porto Rico The majority of the Council
will therefore control the franchise-grant-
ing power, and, irrespective of who these
men may be. there is but one opinion
among the lawmakers here about such a
policy. Leading members of the Senate and
House were busy to-day in investigating
this matter. They agreed that the en-
tire idea is Numerically opposed to the
theory and intentions of the government OF
the United States and Immediately started
at work to formulate scheme for rem
edial legislation
THE insular affairs committee of the
House held lengthy executive session
during the day, and following discussion
pertaining to the retention OF the present
military officers in the island until civic Of
fcers are appointed to take their places
searching inquiry was made into the ques-
ton of the franchise-granting power un-
der the provisions OF the new law. Mem
bers of the committee. especially the Re
publicans, were amazed at the possibilities
of evil growing out of this defect in the
law Chairman Cooper pointed out that
land monopolies could go ahead and op-
crate so as to obtain claim on every foot of
soil in the island; that stocks could and
would be watered and bond dividends be
literally scattered. The people of the
island would soon not have a foot of land
to stand on is the way he put ii, and
the range of possibilities as to the opera
tons of corporations and trusts cannot be
estimated.
There were three suggestions made dur
ing the meeting that met with some favor,
but no action was taken. The amendment
of the civil government bill so as 20 restrict
corporations I'm their operations and so as
TO insist that proper and adequate compen-
sation for franchises be paid is generally
advanced az the best way out of the DIFF
fculty. It is pointed out that the rate of
compensation lor franchises must not be
based on present value of the same, but
on what the privilege viii be- worth to the
corporation at any time during the life OF
the franchise"
