TerrfforiaI Tarff Quesflon.

The decision Of the Treasury depart
ment in the Porto Rico coffee case is.
Of course, the only one that could have
been reached under the Foraker law
and the recent presidential proclama-
ton s%uspending the Is per cent tariff
and extending the Dingley act to the
new territory. Porto Rico is now part
Of the United States and Of the free
trade union, and she can have no spe-
cial duties and exemptions. She is
naturally pleased with the change, but
she desired a 5 per cent duty upon
Brazilian coffee and contended that
this duty was not affected by the re-
moval Of the Foraker tariff.
Having been overruled on this point,
It is announced that congress will be
urged to r%e-enact a special tariff law
to protect Porto Rico coffee against
Brazilian competition. Hawaii may
make common cause with her sister
territory, as she too suffers from the
Importation Of Brazilian coffee.

An attempt to draw the color line
in London has resulted in failure.
When it came to light that some 200
colored delegates to the ecumenical
council in Wesley chapel were to be
guests at one of the big west end ho-
tells a number of wealthy American
guests were amazed and entered an In
dignant protest. They assured the
proprietor that such a thing would not
be permitted in the United States, and
demanded that the colored delegates
be accommodated in a separate part of
the hotel. He declined to interfere,
and his aristocratic American guests
quit his hostelry.
The proprietor is quoted as saying:
II could not think of offering an insult
to such men as Bishop Derrick Of New
York, Bishop tanner of Philadelphia,
Bishop Gaines Of Atlanta and Bishop
Arnett. I told the Americans that
when the Indian princes were here no
one objected to meet them, and 1 do
not propose to make any distinction at
the expense of the Africans"

A Havana dispatch states that one Of
the four subjects Of recent yellow fever
experiments has fallen a victim. He
was bitten by a mosquito which had
previously bitten a yellow fever patient
and developed the fever four days
later.
This case is notable, not only be-
cause it is the first of numerous ex-
perimental cases to result fatally, but
because the death proves that the Sc
rum prepared by DR.. Caldas is not a
sure cure in all cases, and raises a
doubt as to its curative efficiency in
any case. The yellow fever board in
Havana has been conducting expert
ments since early in January, and as
all ave n of the many subjects have
recovered from the disease there would
hardly seem to be sufficient reason for
disseminating the Investigation in this
direction, If further subjects offer
themselves and if useful knowledge is
likely to be gained by continuing the
experiments.
DR.. Hazard, our chief surgeon in
Cuba, who refuses to permit more to
be tried, should consider the small per-
centage of fatality hitherto and the
fact that subjects are willing to take
the risk in order to become immune,
and not merely for the good of others.

Capt. John Lawson, as jolly an Hrlsh-
man as ever sailed the salty waves
says a writer in Forest and, Stream
"Hurrah!" cried the captai~f one U1y
Here is something new fo'f you come
and see a dolphin, the rhOst Deautltul
fish that lives in water we maze a
rush for the b%ulwark.s, and to u de-
light saw swimmin g along with us sew
eral 'amera1d-bue-d fish, from three to
five feet long graceful in shape and
motion Theft bodies we're like satin,
of q delicate green shading to a deeper
bue at fine adns. Darling and whirling,
thew changed places rapidly, moving
from one side Of the ship to the other.
"Tl give you a sight you never saw
before" exclaimed the captain. You
shaAl see a dying dolphin. He brought
has gig, a small %harpoon, with its cruel
Ndshhook darts, and fastening a line to
its long handle, made it secure around
his wrist. Cant hook these fellows
with a hook and line" he said. We
had already been RECALLED with shark
and barracuda from the line that hung
at the stern. The captain leaned over
the rail. With 1.-the motion the fish
darted under the weapon suspended
over them. A quick plunge, with sure
aim, a green flash through the air, and
h struggling, leaping victim was
landed on the deck. And now we saw
the dying dolphin. Let scientists ex-
plain how it changes it's colors; we can
but make record OF its- appearance. The
glowing green died away to silver.
This became spotted with blue, which
gradually spread until the whole fish
vas a sapphire color. Waves Of gold
flashed e it. growing deeper until it
was golden fish, only to be trans
formed into a roseate one by spots
which came and extended. Thus from
color to color changed the cleaning
sides OF the quivering beauty of the
deep, until pity was almost forgotten
in admiration and we exclaimed:
