PORTO RlCANS HOPED FOR DIFF.
FERENT SUPREME COURT
j -. DECISION.

Time in October. .-;
San Juan, Porto Rico, May 3d.
When the full report of the decision Of
the supreme court in the DeLima
case was published there was evil
denced a general feeling Of disap-
pointment among Porto Rican mer-
chants who had hoped that the courts
decision would give them years
free trade. The concensus of opinion
of the matter seems to be that the
Porto Rican legislature should be con-
vened in extra session to declare Porto
Rico self-supporting without the col
lection Of customs on imports between
Porto Rico and the United States.
A general spirit of complaint that all
the supreme courts decisions were
The people generally are as much
disappointed at not being granted
American citizenship as they are with
the courts decision in regard to the
tariff. The members of the cabinet
seem to favor free trade. The ISL
and's yearly budget is $2,0O0,000. A
rough, semi-official estimate gives an
m If
property tax; $750,0OO from excise col
lections under the Hollander bill and
$750,000 from customs collections on
imports and exports to and from
countries other than the United States.
It has been fully realized that the in
sular treasury is rapidly approaching
a position where it can dispense with
the customs receipts accruing from
trade with the United States without
in any wise endangering the present
sure financial position: Of the island.
By the provisions of section of the
Foraker bill, free trade becomes oper-
ative whenever the Porto Rican legis-
lature passes a resolution that an
adequate system Of insular taxation
AAe"0 CSSA puI 1iIo OpSIdLlOu duu Tf0Sl-
dent Mckinley, upon notification of
this resolution, is to proclaim free
trade for Porto Rico. If the plan now
in contemplation is carried out, Gov
ernor Allen will convene the legisla-
ture in extra session, solely for the
purpose of passing this resolution.
This action will probably be taken
July Is, at which time the Hollander
bill will have been in force for nearly
one month and it is probable that
free trade will be declared in October.

without exception comments in terms
OF approval upon the news that EN-

cessful candidate from Pennsylvania.
Monday next the four successful
candidates will submit to the physical

librarian. a position for which he
showed special aptitude and which he
filed with satisfaction and credit. The

those who knew of his ability, and the
news of how he acquitted himself will
he met with hearty felicitation
throughout the city. The honor which
incidentally comes to the city, by rea-
son of his success, will also be duly
