AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
VALIDITY OF CERTAIN PHILIPPINE
CONCESSIONS AT ISSUE.
Franchise That Was Granted Before
Passage of the %SpoOner Amend
ment-Indiana

WASHINGTON, May 29.-An important
issue touching the validity OF concessions
in the Philippines made before the passage
OF the Spooner amendment, was present
ed to Secretary Root to-day by Mr.. Dos
Passos, Of New York, representing the
Pacific Commercial Company. a New York
corporation which has acquired whatever
rights in the island of Palawan were held
by Prince Poniatowsky. This nobleman
contracted, Jan p, 1900, with the Sultan
OF Sulu for a franchise covering all COM
mercial, mineral and agricultural rights in
the large island of Palawan. The ques-
ton presented TO the War Department
now is whether this concession was grant
ed properly, and whether it is still in
force, since the passage of the Spooner
amendment. Secretary Root regards the
issue as important, and will give it due
consideration.
n statement prepared at the Treasury
Department shows the receipts from GUS
tom duties collected upon articles imported
into the United States from the Philippine
islands from April /. 1899. to March 81, 1901,
were $l.O04,911 OF this amount $S66, 9f2
came from sugar. $1l9,539 from cigars and
cigarettes, and the balance from miscella-
QeOus articles.

only to go down again. The last time he
was unable TO get on his feet at the end
of the count, and was declared out.
The preliminary between Danny Dough-
erty and Kid McFadden was a rafting con-
test. The men were at it from start TO

WASHINGTON. May 29.-The test of the
new Krupp armor plates for wal ships was
held at the Indian Head proving grounds
to-day and proved to be unsatisfactory.
The plate was six inches thick, represent

ship Maine. On the first shot a crack was
developed in the plate, and on the second
shot the plate bulged considerably. Under
the circumstances no more shots were fired.

plate. 1t is said in explanation of the poor
results shown that the plate was an old
one, and that the crack probably existed
before the shots were fired.
