The House.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Again yester-
day there were but three speeches in
the house upon the Porto Rican tariff
bill Five hours were consumed in
their delivery. Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois
spoke in support Of the bill and Mr..
Newlands of Nevada and Mr.. Swanson
of Virginia in opposition TO 1T. The
speakers devoted themselves almost
exclusively to the constitutional ques-
ton involved, and were listened to
with attention. The Republican lead
ers are becoming nervous over the fate
Of the bill They have only majority
of IA over the opposition, which is
solidly opposed to the measure. Eight
votes from the Republican side would
defeat it, and there are from II to 10
Republican votes in doubt. A move
ment for Republican caucus Is being
agitated, and, although no call has
been issued, the general understanding
is that one will be held tonight. The
Republicans reported to be opposed to
the bill are Messrs. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts, Littlefield of Maine, Powers
of Vermont, Tompliins OF New York,
Bromwell Of Ohio, Lorimer of Illinois,
Heatwole of Minnesota, Tongue Of Or
egon, Loud Of California, Jones and

The Senate.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Yesterdays
session of the senate was unusually
interesting from the very beginning.
In spite Of vigorous and influential OPP
position Mr.. Penrose of Pennsylvania
succeeded in getting the Quay ques-
ton before the senate, and during the
afternoon three notable speeches were
delivered After a sharp parliament
tary squabble Mr.. Penrose moved that
the resolution involving the seating of
Mr.. Quay be taken up for consldera-
ton. On an aye and noe vote the
motion prevailed, "a to %. The ma
jority was so decisive as to cause
some surprise. 1t is known that some
senators will vote, il the opportunity
be offered, against seating Mr.. Quay,
who voted for taking up the case yes
terday, while, on the contrary, some
who voted against ii, will vote to seat
him. So the vote cannot be taken as
indicating a test of strength. In TAX
ing up the resolution Mr.. Daniel Of
Virginia delivered a speech in which
he vigorously supported Mr.. Quay's
right to seat. Mr.. Vest of Missouri
and Mr.. Foraker OF Ohio delivered
notable speeches anent the Hawaiian
government bill. Both were constitu-
tional arguments, Mr.. Foraker's being
a reply to that of Mr.. Vests.
The House.
An agreement was reached in the
house yesterday that the vote on the
Porto Rican tariff bill be taken up at 8
p. m. next Tuesday, general debate to
close Monday.
The speech Of Mr.. Littlefield OF
Maine was the feature of the day. He
added to his laurels won i'm the Rob
erts debate by a speech against the
bill, which for brilliancy, wit and logic
rivals the best efforts of the recognized
orators or the house. He made pro-
found impression, and when he con-
Guided 1t was several minutes before
the demonstration that followed could
be queled. Among the others who
spoke were Messrs. Jones Of Virginia
and Maddox of Georgia, against the
bill, and Messrs. Russell of Connecti-
cut, Bartholdt of Missouri. Gardiner
Of Michigan, Lacey of Iowa for 1t.
The debate continued for night ses-
sion.

The House.

Washington, Feb 20. The debate
upon the Porto Rican tariff bill, which
is to continue throughout the week,
and possibly longer opened in the
house yesterday. 1t is generally agreed
that this bill is the most important
measure which will come before this
congress. Interest in the bill is in
teEse among the members on both
sides, and there Is urgent demand for
time. The Democrats are solidly ar
rayed against the measure and they
viii have powerful support from the
Republican side In Mccall Of Massa-
chusetts and Littlefield Of Maine, both
able and forcible debaters How far
the Republican disaffection will extend
or whether it will cndanger the bill
cannot be forecasted at this time. Mr.
Payne, floor leader of the majority, OBJ
jected TO the taking of a vote on a sub
stitute TO be offered by the minority.
This substitute. which has not yet
been framed, will be in substance the
bill originally introduced by Mr.. Payne,
providing for free trade with Porto
Rico by the extension Of the customs
and revenue laws of the United States
over the island. The debate yesterday
lacked exciting features. 1t was in the
nature of long range bombardment
before the clash of the contending
forces in battle. Mr.. Payne opened
with general argument in support of
the bill going largely into the material
side of the situation, which the bill Is
designed to relieve. Mr.. Richardson.
the minority leader, Joined issues on
the power of congress to enact the
proposed legislation, and Mr. Dalzell
of Pennsylvania backed up Mr.. Payne
with constitutional and legal argu-
ment. All these were listened to with
close attention.
The Senate.
A simple resolution of inquiry intro
tuced in the senate yesterday by Mr..
Hale of Maine precipitated an hours
constitutional debate by some Of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the
body on the authority OF congress at
its present session to extend or with
hold the constitution TO territory ac-
uuired by the United States. The bill
providing a government for the terri
tory of Hawaii was under considera-
ton NEST of the afternoon, Mr. Cul.
lom, in charge of the measure, explain
ing in detail its provisions. On con-
vening the senate passed a bill for the
relief OF claimants having cases pend

Washington. Feb. %. The debate
on the Porto Rican tariff bin brought
out several notable speeches In the
house yesterday. including one by
Representative Grosvenor Of Ohio,
who answered a number of questions
as to the attitude Of the president, an
other by Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts,
the Republican member Of the ways
and means committee who dissented
from the committee report, Mr.. Moody,

sharply criticised the position of his
colleague, Mr. Mcclellan of New York,
and Mr.. Brantley of Georgia also spoke
against the bill, and Mr.. Parker OF
New Jersey in support OF it. The de-
bate was continued at night session.

The Senate.

In accordance with a tacit agree
ment with the senators who were I'M
able, on account of the meeting Of the
Democratic national committee. TO at
tend yesterdays session, Mr.. Penrose
refrained from calling up the Quay
case as he had previously announced
he would do. When he announced,
however, his intention to call it up to-
day, brief parliamentary squabble
ensued as to the rights by which the
case would come before the senate.
No conclusion was reached, the ques-
ton involved being postponed for con-
sideration until today.

meet with full approval. In the fundamental
Idea the statement agrees with the COM
"munique of our own Government"
There can be no good ground for the charge
or the thought that this country is deserving
any other or the interests Of any other. 1t is
not doing so, and will not be doing so in case
this proposition is acted upon-for as yet 1t Is
a proposition and nothing more, and it's execu-
ton has not been ordered. The United States
did not intervene In China and send troops to
Picking for the purpose of settling or of even re-
motely participating in any of the schemes or
European Powers in that empire. 1t did so for
the purpose of rescuing its own citizens and
vindicating it's own treaty rights, and, Incl
dentally, Of helping other Powers to do the
same. It's understanding is that upon the With
drawal of its troops and the settlement of the
special issues raised by the present troubles
everything will be In stdtu quo ante. What was
settled then will be settled still. What was
unsettled then will remain to be settled as
though there had been no Boxer outbreak and
no march to Picking In its present memorandum
this Government makes it plain that IT expects
the maintenance of the "open door, in China
and of the integrity Of the Chinese Empire, and
it has secured from Russia an assurance that
she will retire from New Chwang and from
China and that she is not seeking territorial
acquisitions in that Empire. II is obvious that

assurances. That the United States feels war

1t is we'll to bear in mind, moreover, that
while the publication of this proposal may come
as a surprise to many, tine text of the memo
randum shows clearly that it is not the result
of sudden impulse but of deliberate judgment
and that moreover it is intended 10 be acted
upon if at all, with the agreement and CO.
operation of the other Powers, and only at such
time as may be deemed expedient by those
best qualified TO judge of that matter. 1t Is en-
phaticallv no order to scuttle. There is no note
of precipitancy In it. It is simply proposal
that all the Powers shall join in a withdrawal
from Picking at date to be agreed upon among
their officers at the front, and that they are TO
do so In fulflment and for the more perfect
execution of the very purposes for which they
entered that city In that view of it, the pro-
posal may be regarded as an eminently practical
one for the restoration Of peace and the settle
ment of what might otherwise be a most vexa-
tious problem.

principles which Mr.. Boutwell, upheld against
the shareholders. Mr.. Boutwell, meets those
who call attention to his change of view with
the remark that 1t is more important for the Re
publeaus "to show that they are right now
"than that some one else was wrong forty
years ago" man has an undoubted right
to change his mind, and Mr. Boutwell, is be-
yond criticism on that score. But his lncon-
sistency is not the point at issue what Is
proved by Mr.. Boutwells former utterances
is that the present Republican position Is not
novel. Mr.. Boutwell, may think he has gained
wisdom; that he is now right and the Repubn-
cans wrong; but. right or wrong, the hepuo-
licans are standing true to the principles OF
constitutional law which they held in the days
of Fremont and Lincoln, and which Benton ana
Webster so ably enunciated in opposition to
Calhoun, while Mr.. Boutwell, has come to
espouse the doctrines Of the bred Scott de-
cision, which would have forced slavery into
every Territory brought under the American
flag. There is nothing new, nothing revolution
airy. nothing un-Republican, nothing un-Ameri-
can about the Republican party's policy or
dealing with the new acquisitions as estates
not yet brought under the Constitution, and
George S. Boutwell, is a witness who proves
that fact.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-09-01

Whatever else it may or may not do, the
latest development Of the Administrations
policy in China rebukes the "anti-imperialist'
babDle about career Of criminal aggression
and conquest. The Government proposes, in
expected concord WITH the other Powers. pres
entity to withdraw ics troops from Picking. and
in due time. which it hopes will be soon. from
the whole Of China. The Chinese Government
will be enabled TO re-establish itself at its capi
tai. And negotiations will be forthwith opened
with it for the redress Of grievances and the
Vindication of treaty rights That IS the pro-
gramme. The fact is not concealed that an
other course, 10 wit the retention Of troops at
Picking, would have commended itself more
strongly than this, If there had been any rea-
sonable assurance of accord and co-opera ton
among the Powers. But there is no such assur-
ance. On the contrary It is surmised that
prolonged occupation would cause danger of
friction and disagreement. Wherefore the
United States proposes 10 the Powers that all
withdraw together. 1t is considered that all
has been done by military power that can
properly thus be done. That power is therefore
TO be laid aside, and diplomatic measures are

fighting was necessary, diplomacy when diplo-
macy can be made effective-that is a sonnd
rule. provided the grounds are well ascertained

needed or can produce no more good results
and that all else that is needed can be achieved
through diplomacy. then the proposed course is
The one TO be followed It is to be assumed
