RETURN TO BLOEMFONTEIS,
Generals French and CoIviIIe Aban-
dom Pursuit of ROers.

LONDON, April 4.-General ColviEe and
General French have given up the move
ment against the Beers east of BIoemfon-
tein and have rejoined the main army, 1t
doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts a vain
thing to send from ten to twelve thousand
of his best troops into the wilderness with
field transport in the direction at a right
angle with his chosen line of advance. The
Beers have probably moved elsewhere and
II to the southwest General Colville could
as easily strike them from Bloemfontein as
by following them up across the plains
These differences still leave the situation be-
wllderins for the time being. The enor-
mOusly superior British forces appear in
active in every part of the war field, wait
ing yet probably for the accumulation OF
material for swift advance on the Trans
wal frontier.
The London military commentators and
the public to some extent are irritated
and confused by the situation.

THE IfOl Sc.

Without preliminary business the House
today resumed the consideration Of the bill
to establish territorial government in Ha-
waii. Mr.. Mcdowell (Ohio) a member Of
the committee on territories was the first
speaker.
While Mr.. Mcdowell was speaking the
c.erk of the Senate appeared and announced
the passage of the~Porto Rican tariff bill
with sundry amendments, in which the
concurrence OF the House is requested" -
There was no demonstration when the an
nouncement was made. The bill was inn
mediately referred, under the rule to the
committee ways and means.
Mr.. Mcdowell, as one of the original op-
ponentS of the annexation of Hawaii, in
weighed against the labor conditions in the
there.
Mr., DeArmond CMo.) criticised some of
the features of the bin. He believed the bill
would allow all the Chinese and Japanese in
the islands free entry into the United
States. He also denounced that section OF
the bill which extended the Constitution to
the islands as far as applicable. He took
the ground that the Constitution was there
of its own vigor. If not, the Congress un-
der the Constitution could not by enactment
extend it there.
Mr.. Boreing (Ky), who followed with a
general political speech. aroused general in
terest by discussing the Kentucky situa-
ton. Holding the light of civilization be-
fore the world as the United States were
doing. were we. he asked, willing to see
the torch OF liberty eXtinguished at the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln and the
home of Henry Clay? 1t was with no spirit
OF acrimony. he said. that he referred to
the situation in Kentucky. So far as the
Goebel election law of that state was con-
cerned, he said, the people of Kentucky
would be glad to exchange places with
Porto Rico or Hawaii They were not ask
ing for federal Interference, they We're ask
ing simply for q fair election law
Mr.. Boreing gave numerous illustra tions
of the manner in which the election law
operated TO the disadvantage of the repub-
licans of the state. He submitted that the
clause of the Constitution which guaran-
teed to each state a republican form of
government was a dead letter in Kentucky.
If each state was sovereign, then he adj
mitted that each state must work out ira
own salvation. In conclusion he gave no.
tice to the country that If it was necessary
to get rid of the Goebel law he would osk
for the passage of a federal election law.
Il will not appeal on behalf of the col,
ored race or of the republican party in
Kentucky" said he, but for a general
election law which will enable the federal
courts to reach out and determine the va
lidity and constitutionality of the election
laws of the several states.''

AN EXECUTIVE SESSION

A bunch of beautiful flowers adorned The
desk of Mr.. Foraker (Ohio) when the Sem
ate convened today, 1t was sent to him by
friends in recognition of his handling of
the Porto Rican bill.
Mr. Stewart presented petition from,
citizens of Cuba representing $3.50, 900, ,O0C
of capital praying Congress to enact a
law prohibiting the use Of the United States
military power to prevent the landing of q
competing cable from the United States.''
Mr.. Morgan called attention to a rule of
the Senate which provided that no petition
should be received from citizens of for
eign country except through the State De-
partmcnt. He did not object to the petit
tion. because he believed that Cuba held
such relation to the United States as
could be dissolved only by Congress.
MIR. Spooner said the rule was founded in
good sense, and he believed the petition
ought to come through the State Depart
ment.
The chair held that the petition could not
be received If objection were made.
Mr.. Stewart urged that the petition did
moi come within the rule. The cuhan<. hav-
ing no other alternative, appealed to Con-
greSs.
The petition finally was received ana or
dercd printed.
