PORTO RICO DEBATE.
Formal Discussion of Tariff
Bill Begun In Senate.
FOB AND AGAINST ISLAND TAX
Over -Four Hours of Talk Interspersed
With Sharp Colloquy-Foraker and
Pettus the Principal speakers-Aldrich
Wins His Third Contest In the House,.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Formal dis
cussion Of the Porto Rican tariff and
civil government bill began in the SEN
ate yesterday and continued uninter-
ruptedly for four hours and half. The
principal speakers were Foraker, in
charge of the measure, and Pettns
(Ala.), but at various times during the
debate lively colloquies occurred, in
which other senators were participants.
After Mason Qlls.) had entered his mo-
tion to discharge the committee on for
eign relations from further considera-
ton OF his measure expressing sympa-
thy for the Beers, and it had gone over
until today, Pettus delivered a speech
in opposition to the pending bill. He
argued that it was unconstitutional and
in violation of the principles of this gov
ernment, as laid down by the fathers Of
the country.
Foraker occupied the floor during the
remainder of the session. He explained
the measure in detail and gave the
reasons why the committee had deter
mined upon levying of tariff on Porto
Rican products. In his opinion it was
impossible for direct tax to be levied
upon the people Of the island to sup
port a local government because of
their present destitute condition. The
committee, he said, had conceived the
idea of placing small tariff on Porto
Rican products in order to raise sum
sufficient wl0h the amount otherwise
raised to give the people Of the island
not only a good government but also to
build schoolhouses and to make neces-
sary public improvements. Then, too,
it was necessary that the question Of
the extension Of the constitution over
our insJllar possessions should be deter
mined by the supreme court, and by the
very provisions of the bill it would be
inevitable that the supreme court should
pass upon that question. Porto Rico
and the Philippines, he said, were on
sthe same basis, so that the. courts de-
cisions would determine our right to
levy a tariff, on the products of the east
sern archipelago. =

ANOTHER WEEK OF HEAT.
The Humidity of the Air Adds to the
General Discomfort.


Yesterday marked the close of another
week in the history of an unprecedentedly
hot summer.
High temperatures were prevalent dur

with days of the week previous, when all
existing records for high thermometer
were broken. they seemed commonplace

weather conditions of the week just closed
and it made day when the mercury mod
estly hung on the 80 peg seem as warm
and oppressive as the day when extension

sleep was not as difficult to obtain as 1t
was the week before, when the heat of
the day had hardly fed from the pave
ments when the sun rose agaif, shining
with renewed intensity.
/ The Weather Bureau from time TO time
/ threw out feeble predictions of possible
cooler weather, but the public seemed to
have lost all confidence in the forecasts

Yesterday was a little warmer than any
