SENATOR ALLISON
 TAKES NO ACTION Has Not Yet Appointed the Cau-
 GUS Committee. WILL LIKELY DO so TODAY Republicans Who Will Settle the Porto Rican Tariff Question Will Be
 Representatives of All
 Shades of Opinion
WILL LIKELY DO so TODAY

Washington March 15.-Wnen the senate adjourned today Senator Allison, chairman of the republican caucus, had not exercised the authority given him to appoint spe- cial caucus committee in connection with the proposed legislation with reference to Porto Rico, but he said that he would probably make his selections to- morrow. He said the committee would in- clude representatives of the various shades of opinion on the questions arising out of the Porto Rican legislation, and it's work will be devoted to an attempt to harmonze the various opinions. In taking up the ap- propriation bill today the republican sen ators began the first proceeding on their programme. With that feature disposed of they will address themselves to the question of securing a form of government for the island and to the consideration of the tariff problem. They will look upon tho latter question tine most comph- >cated and difficult one for their disposal.
 The proposed committee probably will give its first attention to the house bill which deals entirely with the tariff Whether this bill is to be separated from the senate bill, which includes government tai features, as we'll tariff provisions, remains to be determined. Some republi- cans express the opinion that the house bill will catch some outside votes, includ- Ing those of Senator Teller, independent, and Senator McEnery, democrat, which might not be cast for a bin which carried the machinery of the administration with 1t. On the other hand some republican sen- ators have manifested disposition to op- pose to the end any proposition of duty on the commerce between the two coun- tries
 Senator Foraker. who will be chairman of what may be called the Porto Rico steering committee. says there is no pur- pose to abate the pressure for considera tion of the governmental bill and that he will keep it to the front while the special com mittee is at work.

MEXICAN FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
Preparations Going on for Opening of
 the Drainage Canal

City of Mexico, March 15.--A change ef- fected in the control and management of the International and Mortgage Land com pany of this city in which there is large American holding of stock, principally by Hollins SS Co.,, bankers, New York, excites much attention and the American share holders are congratuating themselves on the better prospects of the institution.
 The National Bank of Mexico, which is the wealthiest bank here, and is largely in Spanish hands, although it's stock is held all over the continent of Europe has prac- tically gained control of the institution. The bank will now be strengthened, and Will be made more active participant in the business of the country Two other banks are attracting much attention-the new American bank, which has in the past year made great advances, and is looked upon by capitalists as the coming rival of the older banks under European control, and the Central banks, which while os- tensibly the general fiscal agent of interior state banks is backed by strong banks in Berlin and stands for the progressive Ger man influence here
 The Bank of London and Mexico which used to be a petty branch of the bank in London of the same name, has been brought to tne lrolit rank or MeX1cO'S financial in- stftutions by its manager, H. c. Waters who has made it large metropolitan bank with wide influence. This bank has a large body of French shareholders, all large local merchants and cotton manufacturers. besides dts English representation. The banks are all in healthy condition and making money.
 Preparations are going on for the formal opening of the great drainage canal on Saturday. Senator Weetman Peirson. who bhit the canal, has arrived and will be the honored guest. One new main drains the cfty's improved sewer system, and the mains will enter into the grand canal. How important the reformed drainage of the city is, has been shown this week by the publication of the mortuary statistics of the City of Mexico. The deaths in 1899 were 17,7s7, and taking the population at a fair estimate of 100000, this shows a death rate Of over A per 1000, about the same as that of Bombay. The births were only 14,43O, and the city, while growing marvelously, is recruiting from rural Mexico Sanitarians believe that with the new drainage system the death rate will fall one-half, or to the same rate as for New York city.
