Ex-senator Edmunds, OF Vermont, will mske
the argument in behalf Of the shipping in
terests. Mr.. Griscom, president OF the Amsri.
eau Line and other well-known men engaged
in the business will also be present. M.
Frye. chairman Of the committee, said this
morning he thought the Senate would todsy
adjourn until Monday in order 10 give com.
mittees chauce to consider important bills
that have been referred.
The republican members Of the new insu-
lsr committee Of the House have not yet
developed the line Of action on the object
they desire to achieve nor have they as yet
summoned any witnesses. The appearance,
however, on the scene Of the Governor Gen.
ersl of Porto Rico and o'her prominent ex-
pans onists is at least suggestive. The
Northern republicans are of course favorable
to the idea Of free trade with Porto Rics but
it gees without saying that the sugar pro-
ducers will oppose 1t with oil their might.

the trouble between white and negro
passengers is increasing almost daily,

than last week fight occurring at mid
day between them on one of the Wash
ington and Alexandria electric trains.
There are q great many more white,
than negro passengers, and it does
seem hard that the railroad companies
should be put to the expense of rur =
ming cars for a few negroes, but even
they must see the necessity Of avoiding
the danger, to say nothing of the an
noyance of the trouble referred to.

HOsTILITIEs seem to be as active in
the Philippines now, and as close to
Manila, as ever, though for nearly six
months General Otis and President
Mckinley have been reiterating their
old story of the suppression of the re-

this country, with all their cheap news-

PRESIDENT Mckinley, "the great

with Porto Rico. Why, certainly be
does. Free trade with that country
would increase the export of North

North, the latter injuriDg those of the
South. There is no doubt Of the ad

it be more so to have it with Canads,
