The president believes that when the
treaty of peace was signed Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands became part
of the United States just as much as il
they were ordinary real estate conveyed
to a private purchaser by a warranty
deed, and the people of those islands are
entitled to all the rights and privileges
bestowed upon the citizens of this re-
public. That is directly contrary to the
argument made in the report of the
committee of ways and means by Mr..
Dalzell, who endeavors to prove that
the inhabitants of Porto Rico, Oklaho-
ma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and
the District of Columbia are foreigners.
This Porto Rican question is likely to
be decided by the courts before final
action is taken by congress. Some time
ago an importer, whose name believe,
is Preston, brought suit against the col
lector of customs at Boston to recover
duties paid upon merchandise imported
from Porto Rico. and every effort will
be made to advance that case so that
it may reach the supreme court of the
United States at the earliest possible
moment.
Another case of a similar bearing is
likely to be decided by the board of
general appraisers at New York at any
moment It was argued ten days ago.
The American Sugar Refining company
entered protest through its attorney,
A. K. Tingle. of this city, against the
collection of duties upon sugar imported
from Porto Rico on the ground that
after the treaty of peace was signed and
ratified Porto Rico became a part of
the United States, and that it's products
are not dutiable, but must be treated as
domestic goods shipped from one port
to another in the United States. Mr.
Tingle has submitted a learned argu-
ment in support of his contention, and
quotes an opinion delivered by Attorney

UP TO CONGRESS.
Body Must Now Take
Responsibility.
The Supreme Court May Settle
the Issue.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17-There
was a report in circulation today that
the president had decided to antagonize
the committee of ways and means and
the committee on Pacific islands and
Porto Rico of the senate with refer
ence to that part of their bill which
proposes a duty of 25 per cent. of the
regular tariff upon goods imported from
and exported to Porto Rico. That is
not true. The president is too wise to
adopt any such policy, and, further
more, he has himself been a member of
the house of representatives and chair
man Of the committee on ways and
means. and experience has taught him
that the Coordinate branch" is en-
titled to consideration. At the same
time. he does not conceal the fact that
the arguments submitted in the reports
OF the two committees named have not
caused him TO change his opinion to
retract the recommendations made in his
annual message for absolute free trade
between Porto Rico and the United
States. If Mr. Payne or Mr.. Foraker
or any member of either committee
should take the trouble to ask the presi-
dents views on this subject he would
undoubtedly learn them, but President
Mckinley recognizes that congress
must share the responsibility with him
and that when he has submitted his
recommendation in a, formal communi-
cation to congress he has fulfilled his
duty.

AT the same time the knowledge that
the president sticks to his original opin-
ion and is opposed to an embargo upon
our trade with Porto Rico stimulates
the courage of certain weak members
who agree with him but lack the nerve
to antagonize the committee on ways
and means. Nor is there any sign of
the presidents yielding. If the elabo-
rate reports made by the committees
of the senate and house of represent
tatiVeS have failed to convince him that
the free trade recommendation in his
message was an error, it is scarcely
to be expected that personal inter-
views or speeches that may be made in
the debate will cause him to change his
mind.

, The Women's Club

The meeting of the Lamar Wo-
mems Club at Mrs. Doughty's, Dec.
10, was fairly we'll attended. The
earlier part of the session was de-
voted to impromptu reports of the
season of grand opera recently at
Denver, which was attended by Mrs.
Gould and Mrs. Parrish. Mrs.
Cooper read very interesting letter,
descriptive of the city of Denver,
written by Rev. Tyler. Mrs. Gould
then read a story on "Thanksgivin g
Fifty Years Ago" which called forth
spirited comments from all present.
The discussion merged into com
parison of the position of women in
in the family then and now, and the
differences of opinion was as to
whether the influence of the new
woman with her many advantages of
intellectual culture and leisure, is
greater for good in Der family than
was the Influence of the woman of
that time. eve,, with her large family
and manifold household duties
Hereafter the Club programs will be
somewhat more methodical Two
members who will be the leaders,
will announce at each meeting the
subjects for the next meeting, and
all other members will be expected
to prepare something upon these
subjects The work in current events
will be continued as before. The
programs as they have been given
have been somewhat desultory,
though delightful, but the new
method will be an improvement.
The next meeting will be Dec. 26,
with Mrs. Jones.

town people turned out to hear the
band of the minstrel troupe, and
the town had an appearance of being
quite populous Considerable trad

country.
Beach & Bowers big minstrel
troupe arrived IN town last Saturday
and had parade in the afternoon.
and dispensed quite an abundance of
good music At the opera honse in
the evening the troupe was greeted
by large audience and the program
there rendered was fully appreciated
by those present. Their music was
very good, both the singing and in
strumental. And the speclalties
were first class, the acrobatic work
being some of the neatest ever seen
in town.

Notice to Beet Growers

Our books are now open for appli-
cations for beet contracts. In view
of the general satisfaction resulting
from this first seasons experience,
we have decided to offer a four year
contract From the present outlook
we fully expect that the entire acre
age required for the factory will be
applied for by the end of September.
Parties desiring to grow beets next
season shonld make application at
once, in order that they may not be
disappointed if, later on, we should
not be able to accept any more con-
tracts.
As the quality of the soil is of vital
importance to both the grower and
the factory, no contracts will be exc
cuted until the land offered by the
applicant has been examined and ap'
proved by our agriculturists.

Features of Market.

NEW YORK, March 7.-On the Stock
Exchange, Tuesday, very earnest efforts
were made to weaken Sugar, but the
utmost that could be achieved was a
three point decline, offerings Of the
stock being comparatively light. Third
avenue was strong, rising an extreme
5ia and imparting sympathetic strength
to the other local traction stocks. The
most notable examples of the bear tao,
tics We're furnished by the International
paper stocks, the con mol falling 4Ss

Car, which dropped 7la and rallied B.

Practically all the iron and steel stocks
were down from / to 2 points, and many
recovered good portion of the loss and
there were other less striking ex amples
all through the list of specialties. In the
railroad list st. Paul, Burlington and
Baltimore and Ohio showed an extreme
decline of point or over. but the not
changes in the railroads are small
throughout. IT is evident that tho final
disposition Of the financial bill by con
gress is awaited by the bull contingent
who are generally confident that the pro
visions for additional bank circulation
will be el tied into law and will result
in n notable expansion of the currency
The large buying ct government
bonds by national banks all over tn,
country, and the expert estimates which
are current of the profit offered ON cir
culation by the new provisions, are the
grounds of this confidence. Meantime
the money market is working constantly
