tariff, but it is not likely to be for
several weeks, as Senators Aldriehe
rPlatt, of Conn.,, and Teller, who are
much interested in the measure have
gone to Cuba, and will not return for
about two weeks. Meanwhile, the
debate will go on. The passage of the
emergency Porto Rican bill has made
it unnecessary to hurry in disposlng or
this one.
Although always intensely partisan,
Senator Tillman has way OF frankly
expressing what he believes which
makes men admire his honesty, even
when they entirely disagree with him.
He made some of the democrats open
their eyes when he said, on the floor
of the senate: ST am always willing
to trust William Mckinley. He IS
patriotic and noble man" During
the same colloquy, he said to the re-
publican senator's, referring to their
differences on the Porto Rican tarlfI
question: 'sYou are the best organized
party ever saw, and no matter how
you talk,sL have no doubt you will all
round up on the vote"
The RaiIitia officers representing

house committee on military affairs
has favorably reported bill 1ncreas-
ing the annual congressional appro
priation for the National Guard of the
country from >$40O, 900 to $4,000 900,
and the chances are decidedly in favor
of the bill beco ming a law. Our ex-
perience in the war with Spain has
added largely to the number of those
who believe that money spent in i'm
proving and encouraging the National
Guard is money well spent.
An agreement has been reached by
the senate in the Quay case. 1t will
be taken up April 8, and kept before
the senate until disposed of. 1t is
generally admitted that Mr.. Quay will
be seated whenever the vote is taken.
There is a regular rush for charters
for national banks with capital Of
S25, 900, in towns Of less than 5000 in
habitants authorized by the new
financial law. Great care is being ex-
.ercised by the comptroller of currency
in approving the applicatio for this
class of charters.

washington, Mar. 10Th 1900.
SecretaryGagei is greatly interested
in the work of refunding the entire
bonded Indebtedness of the country
into the per cent. bonds authorized
By the newFfGance law, which is now
well under way, every mail to the
treasury being filled with applications
for exchanging outstanding bonds for
the new issue. The entire issue OF
the new bonds will. be dated April /,
and they will be exchanged as fast as
possible, in the order of application,
the accrued interest on the old bonds
being paid in cash.
President Mckinley regrets the
failure of his tender of the good offices
of this government to Great Britain
to assist in bringing about peace IN
South Africa, butrecognizes that Lord
Salisbury had Alright to decline the
tender on behalf-of his government.
The general impression IN Washington
is that nothing else can or will be
done by this government, and that the
language of Lord Salisbury's declina-
ton is in effect strong hint to Euro
pean nations not to attempt mediation.
Secretary Root has, in answer to
request from Gen. Otis, cabled him
permission to encourage the love OF
music among the Filipinos by enlist
ing themas musicians in the regl-

Admiral Dewey has endorsed a
favorable report made By Lieut.. III. FL.
Caldwell, his aid, on the recent tests
of the submarine torpedo boat Hol-
land, in the Potomac river just below
Washington. Lieut.. Caldwell was on
the boat during the entire test, lasting
nearly three hours, and says IN bis
report tn at determined enemy, with
a boat of the Holland type could have
made the occupation of Manila Bay by
Admiral Dewey's squadron impossible.
Admiral Dewey sent Lieut.. CaldWelFs
report to the house committee,en-
dorsing it strongly.
BY SO lid republican vote, aided by
the vote of Senator Lindsay, of KY,
the senate has decided in favor of the
republican contention, that the con-
stitution does not follow the flag into
of the U. S. proper, without an act Of
Congress providing for such an extern
sion. In other words, that territory
may be long to the-U. S. without be-
coming a part OF the Z. S. The vote
was on an amendment offered by SEN
ator Allen to the bill providing for
turning over to the President, to be
used for the imm ediate necessities OF
Porto Rico, the money collected under
the Ding ley tariff law, on Porto Rlcan
products, up to the 1st of last January
"a little more than $4,000, 00O-which
was afterward passed without a divis-
ion. The question was squarely pre-
sented in the defeated amendment,
which asserted that the treaty Of
peace with Spain extended the con-
stitution of the U. S. over Porto Rico.
This actio Of the senate endorses the
position of the republican majority Of
the house, as well as that Of President
McKinley, and there is very little
doubt that the decision of the supreme
court, when the question reaches it,
will be to the same effect.
No time has been set for vote on
the other Porto Rico bill, dealing with
the government of the island and the

hall even at 11:25, when Chairman 3.
T. Lloyd raped the first session Of the

on the fact that the Republicans with
their majority of $500 had been swept

that the Democrats would win in the
coming fight as they had won in the
last three fights if they were wise and

women who cannot be attacked. He
then announced the temporary ofhcers
of the convention and introduced the
temporary chairman, D. O. RideOut, il,

Mr. RideOut was warmly greeted
when he stepped to the front of the
stage. He thanked the convention for
the honor. reminded it of its response

confidence of the people: men of abil-
ity. honesty and integrity. If such
men were put up the Democratic ticker
will be elected.
Mr.. Rideout reminded the delegates
also that the silver Republicans had

that the nomination of the three c0m-
missioners be made unanimous. Every

then decided to allow the POpulists the
proportion OF officers already mention
ed and the convention took a recess
until o'clock.

hold the position is not doubted by any

alternates keenly interested in the
work before them and full of determi-
nation to name none but the best ma
