New York. March ia special dis
patch to the Herald from Washington
says:
Representative Foss, acting chairman
of the house committee on naval affairs
has received from Admiral Dewey a
copy of memorandum prepared by
that officers aide, Lieutenant H. H.
Caldwell, upon the recent tests of the
Holland submarine torpedo boat. Ad-
miral Dewey, it is understood, endorsed
the report of his aide, who expresses the
belief that a determined enemy, with
submarine boats of the Holland type,
could have made impossible the occupa-
ton of Manila bay by the admiral
squadron.
The expression of opinion made by the
admiral was in response to a request
from the senate and house naval COM
mittees, which, before determining upon
the action to take upon pending bills,
desired to learn the admiraIs views.

against heaven, and God grant that the
crowned heads of Europe may never
have occasion to Kill the fatted calf to
commemorate its return from reliance
upon the will of the people to depend
ence upon the authority which flows
from regal birth or superior force.
Imperialism might expand the ma
tons territory, but it would contract
the nations purpose. 1t is not step
toward broader destiny; it is step
backward toward the narrow views of
kings and emperors. The fruits of
imperialism. be they bitter or sweet,
must be left to the subjects of mon
archy. This is the one tree of which
the citizens of q republic may not
partake. 1t is the voice of the SER
pent, not the voice of God, that bids
us eat. A nation which denies the
principle that governments derive
their Just powers from the consent of
the governed can give self-govern-
ment to one colony and deny it to an
other, it can give it to colonies strong
enough to exact it by force and deny
it to weaker ones; but a nation which
recognizes the people as the only SOW
ereigns, and regards those Temporal
rily in authority merely as public
servants. is not at liberty to apply the
principle to one section of the coun-
try and refuse it to another.
The hour of temptation has come,
but temptations do not destroy; they
merely test the strength of individu-
ais and nations; they are 9tum bling
blocks or stepping stones; they lead
to infamy or fame. according to the
use made of them"

1T is all but a settled fact that the
house Porto Rican compromise will
eventually win in the senate. The
party lash welded at the White House
by Mark Hanna is already having its
effect. Here is the way Walter Well
man sizes the situation in his Wash
ington correspondence to the Chicago
Times-Herald: AT last the republi-
can party at this capital has nerved
itself to an effort TO force the Is per
cent tariff bill upon unwilling Porto
Rico and an indignant American ma
ton. BY the republican party is
meant President Mckinley, his cabi-
net and the leaders in the two houses
of congress. The republican commit
tee of harmony held a meeting late
this afternoon and practically agreed
upon the following program, which
will probably be reported to a repub-
lican caucus to be called next week:
II. Passage by the senate OF the house IS
per cent bill without any amendments what
ever.
- Passage through both houses OF the For
aker bin providing a civil government for Por-
to Rico.
This program, be it understood, is
not finally decided upon, but MEM
bers of the committee say it is virtu-
ally agreed to, and unless some change
comes in the situation it will be their
recommendation to the caucus"

"Since the cession Porto Rico has
been denied the principal markets she
had long enjoyed. and our tariffs
have been continued against her pro-
duets as when she was under Spanish
sovereignty. The markets of Spain
are closed to her products except upon
terms to which the commerce OF all
nations Is subjected. The island OF
Cuba, which used TO buy her cattle and
tobacco without custom duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these
products as from any other country en-
tering her ports. She has. therefore,
lost her free intercourse with Spain
