Taylor. Texas, May 22.--'The heavy rain
that fell Saturday night again disappointed
the directors Of the fair, but the hope Of
two days OF sunshine made them hest
tate 10 declare another postponement. Tho
weather. however, continued 10 cloudy,
ftful condition and the drying up process
was not sufficiently rapid to offer much
encouragement Another heavy down
pour came last night and then all idea
OF holding fair this week was placed be-
yond the bounds OF possibility. The dl-
rectors held u meeting and decided that
any iurther EFFORT to hold the fair in spite
OF the weather should be abandoned.
AS soon as the weather clears the farm
ers Will be very busy. and there would be
small chance for a good attendance. so
it was decided to extend the date for the
meeting beyond the time OF the rush OF
farm work. July 3, 4, aud was set
tied upon as date that would cult the
convenience OF all and the announcement
is made that the fair Will be held at that
time.
Secretary Bland has issued circular
letter setting forth that the association
had arrived at the above conclusion. He
also states that the merchants and ladies'
parade will lake place at l0:30 OH July
and that the programme as heretofore
published Will be adhered to without
change. The horsemen have promised
that the races win be better and more

ENTITLED TO FULL CITIZEN
SHIP.

Washington, Marcn 2G.--In the Sem
ate today when the measure providing
form of government aud a tlviif for
Porto Rico was reached Morgan of Ala
bama announced his desire to speak
upon it. The special topic of his dis
cussion was the question Of the extern
sion of the constitution over the ter
ritory acquired by the United States.
Comparing our authority in Cuba and
Porto Rico, Morgan declared chat re-
sistance to American authority In Cuba
would be as much rebellion as 1t Is in
the Philippines. The national power
must continue to exist in all of the &C.
quired islands until Congress shall
legislate in their regard.
THE world" he said must be
amused at our discussion of tho ques-
ton whether the Philippines ale part
of the United States while we are
voting armies, supplies aud money
to suppress the instruction OF one of
the many tribes in those islands"
AS to the islands acquired from
Spain, Morgan maintained that the
treaty of Paris was the supreme law
of the land.
Discussing the citizenship of the in
habitants of Porto Rico, Morgan said:
"The inhabitants of Porto Rico
ought to be given as full citizenship
as any native inhabitart of a country
annexed heretofore. We have not de-
barred from citizenship any native in
habitant of any territory annexed.
Those who have not chosen to retain
their former allegiance have become
citizens of the United States without
regard to race or other conditions. I
believe IL Porto Rico is foreign coun-
try we cannot pass laws to he en-
forced there"
