IN CONGRESS.
Synopsis of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.

In the Senate on April 3, after a lengthy
debate, the chief feature of which was an
lmpassioned speech on the part of Senator
Foraker to prove that the proposed measure
vas in harmony with the Presidents ideas,
he Senate passed the combined Porto
majority Of nine. The bill was passed by
40 yeas TO 81 nays. Mr.. BeVeridge, in
accordance with his previous announce
ment, was separated from his free trade
colleagues on the final vote because he
'avoraa the civil government feature, and,
Though absent, was recorded as being
aired in favor of the measure. Senator
rteWart who has been reported against the
ariff, just before the vote was taken, de-
vcred brief speech, in which he stated
that he would vote for the bill. Senator
Teller, who favored the tariff, and who, in
TACT, voted against free trade, finally voted
against the bill, being opposed to the plan
Of civil government which it provided.
The vote on Senator Davis's free trade
amendment offered the first test OF the
strength Of the tariff following in the Sen
ate. This vote stood 40 nays to 80 yeas.
The vote upon Senator Nelson's free trade
amendment varied from the above only in
the fact that Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
voted in the negative, thus making the
result stand % yeas to Al nays. Senator
Daniel was influenced in his vote by the
fact that Mr.. Nelson's amendment included
also the levying of an internal revenue
tax upon the whisky and tobacco brought
into this country from Porto Rico, dis
eliminating restriction which he did not
approve.
The final vote on the passage of the bill
was as follows:

| During the debate bIr. Foraker said in
part: AS for the President, it is his enc

recommended abolition of customs dutics

Senator, docs that very thing" Then he
continued:

are going to give absolute free trade TO the
people OF Porto Rico. 1t will come in less
than % months under this bill. Indeed,
IN six months they may have free trade if
they will only take advantage of the oppor-

quietly behind, and only discovered that
something was wrong after half the CON
yoy was already captured.
Perhaps greater importance even than
the victory was the capture of British secret
papers, including maps and plans of 1897,
1898, and 1899, outlining elaborate schemes
for the invasion of the Orange Free State
and the Transvaal, and giving a plan of
reaching Johannesburg from Mafeking
along DR.. Jameson's route, but amended
so as to avoid his mistakes. Another

On Tuesday it looked as though the
Beers had conceived the audacious plan of
attempting TO invest Lord Roberts at
Bloemfontein, or at least to endeayor TO de-
lay his northward advance by harassing
the British lines of communication. The
Boers crossed the Modder east of Bloem-
fontein in force. The mounted infantry
was in touch with them all day 12 miles
distant, at Bushman's Kop. This forward
movement began as soon as the force sent
