Light on Colonial Government.

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin is
known in the House not only as Chair
man of the Committee on Insular Affairs.
but as an honest, impartial, fearless pub
lie servant. Considering that he is also a
Republican. the reputation is all the more
to his credit.

sixth Congress he endeavored to secure
the consent of his masters that a sub
committee of the committee might off,
ciaIly visit Porto Rico and the Philippines
and get at the truth Of the situation in
both directions for the enlightenment OF
Congress at its next session
At this proposition the trust element in
control of the House at once became
alarmed. and Mr.. Cooper's proposal was
killed. He was too venomously indiffer-
ent to personal consequences and too
brave and truthful to be trusted on such
a mission. 1t was not forgotten that he
voted against the Pacific Railway Re
funding bill in "A former Congress and

Colonies. Mr.. Cooper and several other
Representatives will do Porto Rico and
the Philippines as thoroughly as they
may during the recess. and be able
to relate their experiences next winter.

a majority of land owners to get hold

fact that it is .1ghly desirable TO bring
about the forfeiture of their estates by
the time the Porto Rican tariff expires.
Otherwise it might be inconvenient for
certain trusts to get hold of the tobacco

soil in advance of any possible native
competition. We are unable to hope that
the delegation or those they represent
will get much comfort in Washington.

NEW VENEZUELAN MINISTER.
1t is Believed That Mr.. PulfdO, the
Charge, VIII He Appointed.

The Venezuelan charge d'affaires. Mr..
Pulido. had talk with Acting Secretary Of
State Hill today concerning affairs in Ven
ezuela. He has not heard of the reported
decision of the courts ON the asphalt case.
and it was learned in other quarters that
the decision referred to was by a minor
court and did not touch the merits of the
controversy. The decision by the federal
court is not expected for several months.
The recent local decision was on an appli-
cation for temporary possession of the as
phalt lakes. pending the decision as to per-
manent ownership. the court declining to
issue an order giving temporary possession
to those contesting the rights of the New
York syndicate
Since the United States has named Mr..
Bowen as minister to Venezuela, thus ter
minating the conduct of affairs by charge,
there is an idea in well-informed quarters
that Venezuela will take similar action by
naming a minister to Washington, that
post having been vacant for about two
years. In that event it is probable that the
name of Mr.. PulidO, the Venezuelan charge,
would be among those considered, as he is
infiuentially connected. uncle being a
member of the Castro cabinet Such an ap-
pointment would be well received among
the officials here, as Mr. Pulido's course has
been most acceptable through period of
considerable perplexity. He is one of the
best known members of the diplomatic
corps in Washington. having served here a
number of years and being a prominent fig
ure at the clubs and in society.

REGULATIONS AMENDED.
Side Vault Doors May Remain Open
Under Certain Conditions.

The District Commissioners yesterday
afternoon issued an amended order to
Major Sylvester. the superintendent Of
police. in regard to the closing of the doors
Of sidewalk vaults. The authorities had

chants for exemption from the regulation
concerning such doors, which was recently
ordered strictly enforced. AS stated In The
Star yesterday, a number of prominent
merchants were served with warrants
charging a violation of the police regula-
tions. The trial Of these cases. 1t is un-
derstood, will take place Saturday.
AS result of the Commissioners action
yesterday afternoon, Major Sylvester issued
the following instructions to the police:
Relative to vault openings in sidewalks,
the Commissioners have instructed the su-
perintendent of police that where vault
doors in sidewalks are necessarily open,
practically all the time, for the reception
or delivery Of goods. the police will not
interfere with such use by the owner Of
the contiguous property. The rule as to
the allowance Of a reasonable time, that
governs the placing of bundles or boxes on
the sidewalks in the receipt or shipment OF
goods, shall be applicable to such cases;
but vault doors shall not be allowed to re-
main open for ventilating purposes only"

NO AUTHORITY TO REFUND
CONTROLLERS DECISION ON PORTO
RICAN DUTIES.
Claimants VIII Have to Wait Untn
Congress Shall Act on the
Matter.

In answer to letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury, making inquiry as to the
authority of the department to refund the
duties paid in Porto Rico on goods import
ed from the United States, the controller
of the treasury has decided that the Sec
retary is not authorized to refund the
claims which arose out of the payment Of
these duties paid between the date q the
exchange of the ratifications of the treaty
of peace between the United States and
Spain (April II. $500. and the date when
the act was approved, April II, 1900, to
provide revenues, ETC.. for Porto Rico, went
into effect-May !, 1900
The controller says that il any authority
exists for the refund of these duties II Is
contained in section "a Of the customs ad-
miniStrative act of June 10, 1880, in which
the refundments of duties are limited to
those collected by "a collector of customs"
and he expresses the opinion that Congress
and the courts, which have passed upon
the question, did not intend to hold that
an army officer, appointed by the govern
ment to operate in a certain territory. was
such collector
The effect Of this decision will be the
post ponement of the refund of these Porto
RIcan duties until Congress shall meet and
specifically authorize it.

LEIPZIG, June 27.-Herr Exner, director

the bulk Of the assets. includes S.0O00OO
marks loaned to the Cassel-Treber-Trock-

Bank quite recently advanced another
Is, ,OOO, 600 marks to the Cassel-Treber-
Trocknung Company. after it was known
that the latter was insolvent.
Representatives of the leading banks Of
Berlin say there is no doubt that all the
stock Of the Leipziger Bank, and its re-
serve, amounting to 63,0O0.OO0 marks, are
lost. The Dresden and Leipzig bourses re-
fuse to handle the Leipziser Bank stock.
The policy of the Leipziger Banks board of
directors has for years been such as to
lead to the belief that other arrests on the
charge of culpable negligence will follow
the taking into custody OF Herr Exner.
The members of the board of directors in
clude some of Leipzigs wealthiest citizens.
