Washington, June 17.-Dr. Jose @.
Barbosa and DIR. Jose Gomez Briscoe,
members of the executive council of
Porto Rico, who are in this city, have
received cablegrams from Porto Rico
calling them back to attend a special
session of the legislature called for
July A. Although they are not IN
formed of the purpose of this extraor-
binary session, they believe that 1t Is
called to take action on the question
of the abolition of tariff duties be-
tween the United States and Porto
Rico They say that Treasurer Hol-
lander has made a report showing
that the receipts of the island Will be
SUFFICIENT to carry on the administra-
ton of the government after the new
Hollander law goes into effect July /,
and that this being the case, the leg
islature can request the United
States government to suspend the
further operation of the Foraker law.
Later Secretary Hay received the
following telegram from Governor
Allen of Porto Rico at San Juan:
"Unanimous vote of heads of depart
,ments, fixed date for the special ses.
sion of the Legislature for July 4. The
date of proclamation will be announc-
ed at the session."
The proclamation referred to is that
which will declare free trade to exist
between the United States and Porto
Rico, after designated date, in con-
formity with the terms of the Foraker
act, which allowed two years to test
the ability of the island to sustain it,
self through internal taxation. GOV

der the Hollander act Porto Rico is
now ready to assume free trade.

REGARDED AS FAVORABLE
FOR ADJUSTMENT OF
WASHINGTON TRACTION AFFAIRS.
Large Majority of Security Holders to
Cooperate with the RcOrgan-
ixution Committee.

The success of the reorganization COM
mttee of the Washington Traction Com
pany in securing the cooperation of the
holders of the securities in carrying out
the proposed scheme of consolidation OF
street railroad properties In this District
controlled by that company is looked upon
in local financial circles as a promising
indication of the future Of these interests
1t is stated on behalf of the committee that
the holders of the entire issues of S13, AZ
600 Washington Traction bonds. with the
exception of S121.o00. have given their
support TO the plan. OF the 1l2ooo shares
of stock, ,462 shares have come in. AS
soon as the order of the court is carried
out, directing the sale of the securities
upon which the collateral bond issue of
the Washington Traction Company is
based, the consolidation of the railroad
properties will be proceeded with.
While the securities of the City and Sub
urban road are not a part of the collateral
of the bonds. still it is anticipated that at
the public sale next week these securities
Will also be put up with the others. as
the order of the court so authorizes 1t Is
the understanding that this line will be
part of the system of street railroads which
is to be operated by the company to be or
ganZed.
Great satisfaction Is EXPRESSED by those
interested in this system in the increase in
the net earnings, and it is said that the
methods which have resulted in the bright
ening of the prospects of the company will
be continued
The large holders of the securities are re-
ported to be much pleased with the outlook
and manifest firm confidence in the future
of this enterprise 1t is acknowledged by
those who are familiar with the history Of
this company that at the outset high prices
were paid for the properties and that for
time the management was not of the
practical character which results from
perienced street railroad men having the
direction. Now however, it is asserted the
latter defect has been remedied, is
manifest fromthe improvement in the op-
Grafton Of the system and in the increas-
ing balance of receipts over expenditures.

DIR, HExEBRy.s DISMISSAL.


According to advices from Chicago every
Irish society in that city, including the
Ancient Order of Hibernians. the various
branches of the Gaelic League, the Ladies'
Auxiliary of A o. H. the societies for the
preservation of the Irish music and the
Irish historical societies are holding special
meetings for the purpose of protesting
against the action of the faculty of the
Catholic University of America, and calling
on the trustees not to sanction .he Gis-
missal Of Rev. Dr. Richard Henebry from
the Gaelic chair at that institution.
There was printed in The Evening Star
earlier In the week the protests of the
national president of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and of the national officers of
the Gaelic League, of which DR.. Henebry
is national president, and accompanying
this was an account of DR.. Heneb-y's s
career as occupant of the Gaelic chair and
the evident causes that led to the univer-
slty authorities deciding upon his retire
ment therefrom, the chief reason apparent
ly being Dr. Henebry's bad health
"A circular sent out by p. 7. O'Sullivan,
secretary of the Chicago Irish Historical
society, calling a special meeting of that
body, contains reference to another alleged
cause. In the course of his circular Mr.
OSullivan says:
1T would seem that Rev DR.. Henepry,
professor of Gaelic at the Catholic Uni
Versity, Washington. is to be removed for
the reason, it is intimated. that his public
utterapces in favor of Irish nationality are
not at all pleasing to the British govern
ment. Our members believe that our So
clety should enter a respectful protest
against the proposed removal"
The controversy will be considered by the
board Of trustees of the Catholic Univer-
slty at its annual meeting, which COM
mences November 20. and will be held at
the institution, and there seems to be little
doubt that the action of the senate of the
university, which decided upon Rev. DR..
Dunn as successor of DR.. Henebry in the
Gaehc chair. will be approved. There is a
pare possibility, according to gossip in
usually well-informed quarters that the
endowment Of $4,000 made for the Gaelic
cna1r I'VE years ago by the Ancient Order
OF H1bernians may be returned to that body
IN view of the intimations of the latter
that the fund has been diverted from its
legitimate purposes

Regarded With Indifference.

The attack Of General Master Workman
Burns of the Knights of Labor, which or
ganization is now holding It's annual meet
ing in indianapolis. upon Mr.. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Federation
of Labor, has been met with perfect indif-
ference on the part of the latter. In his
stand on the question at issue, Mr.. Com
pers states that "as the knights of Labor
is an organization existing only in the
minds of few people," and as the same
dispute arose some months ago by similar
charges made against him by Mr. Shaffer
when he, Mr.. Gompers, defended himself in
a matter satisfactorily to those concerned
in the matter, he has no desire to engage
in the disputarion again
