PORTO RICO N DOUBT.
But Few OF Natives Understand Full Meaning
OF the Decisions.

San Juan, +. r.. May cS-Thc first re
port of the supreme courts decision in
tn" De Lima case. last night, which was
interpreted as declaring the taxation of
imports from Porto Rico to the United
States 10 per cent. Of the Dinglev duties
tobe unconstitutional. was received here,
with great satisfaction. Today. when the
fun report of the De Lima case was pub
li@hcd there was Il general feeling of DIS
appointment among Porto Rican mcr-
chants who had hoped that the court :
decision would give them Il years free
trade.
Tho conCcnsus of opinion seems to be
that the Porto Rican Legislature shoul'i
u" convened in extra session to dcclaS"
Porto t.co Sclf-supportin.y without tn"
collection OF customs ON imports b"twc. II
Porto Rico and tho United States. a ger
cral spirit of complaint that all the su-
preInc courts decisions were against Por-
To Rico is noticeable.
When told that if free trade had bc"l
granted the internal revenue laws of the
United States would lc applied TO the is
lands and that all funds and customs
would tc deposited in the federal treas
ury. all Porto Ttcans questioned ac-
knowledSed that their present status was
preferable. as they did not believe that
the island could stand the collection of
United States internal revenue
Only & few Porto Rican business mon
understand The importance Of the su-
prcme court decisions.

THE BREWERS DEMANDS

Boston, May 2S.-The 30 900 members
OF the International Brewery Workers
Union in this country intend to en-
force the S-hour day in all breweries
at the earliest practicable moment In
Lowell. in Fort Worth and San An
tonic, Texas; Spokane and Seattle

of other towns on the Pacific coast
the S-hour day for brewery workers
has already been enforced.
The local unions attached to the In
ternational Brewers Union have yearly
agreements with the master brewers,
in all cases the unions whose members
desire change in the schedule must
give three months notice. As the
present agreements expire notice will
be given that the brewery Workmen
esire an S-hour work day. In Boston
1900 men approximately will be affect
ed by the changes. Today, the brew
cry engineers and firemcn work but
eight hours Il day. 1t is the intention
of the local unions that the wages
shall not be reduced below their pres
cnt rate when the S-hour day is en-
forced. 1t is calculated the reduction
of hours of $4,000 men to eight hours
per day will provide work in the brew

LEGISLATION FOR PHILIPPINES
Is Believed by Sec. Root 10 Be Necessary
Action by Congress.

Washington. May 2S.-lntcrcSt in the
supreme court decisions ccntcred at the
war department. today. Several scna-
tors and representatives called on
Secretary Root, today. He expressed
the opinion that the decisions OF the
court would make Philippine leGisia-
ton absolutely necessary in the coming
session of Congress. He also was Of
the opinion that under the Spooner law
the President had absolute power to
provide for q revenue, both customs
and internal. for the Philippine islands
in the general scheme for the Philip
pine government.
1t is believed that the war depart
mcnt will promulgate a tariff for the
Philippine situation.
The following statement is made:
THE tariff as prepared at Manila
was based entirely upon the specific
system of duties which levies customs
changes according to weight or number
cf the imported articles rather than
according to value. This principle has
the approval of Secretary Root, but it
is thought desirable to apply an ed
yalorcm limit in certain c2scS where
there is Il wide difference between the
values Of articles classified under the
same paragraph Tho Spl cific duties
will be retained in most OF these cases
but ii Will be provided that the arti-
clcs shall pay not less than Il certain
ed valorcm rate
This rate on the ncccssarics Of life
and articles essential TO the develop
ncnt of the islands will not run high
OF than Is per cent. but upon articles
less necessary it will go to 20 per cent.
and in the ease of luxuricS to higher
proportions.

SEQUEL TO A FEUO.
Probable Fatal Shooting Affair at Boston. .Bo h
Parties Italians.

Boston, May 2S.-Thc sequel to a feud
that originated in the province of Cal
abria, Italy, some years ago, was
reached. this afternoon. when Alesan-
dro Spostito. IS years of age, was shot
and probably fatally wounded by Guis-
eppe Pappasoli, 81 years old. on Webs
ter avenue. near the corner of Hanover
street, in the presence of scores of
passersby. Pappaso is locked up on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill and the condition OF the victim is
such that the charge is likely to soon
be changed to that of murder.
Spostito, who has been in this coun-
try but a week. secured lodgings. to-
day. at No. &c Webster avenue. and
was at once recognized by Pappc soil
as his old enemy. At first the two
avoided open hostilities and drank to-
gether. but as they became heated by
liquor they grew quarrclsome. Others
lnterfered and the men went out upon
the avenue. where Pappasoli drew a
evolver and fired at Spostito. the bali
entering his left breast. The latter was
removed to the Massachusetts Cen
eral Hospital where he is reported to
be in dying condition.
After firing, Pappasoli ran into Char
ter street. Here. probably MistakinS
the house of Charles Lane for the one
he had occasionally visited. he ran
through the entry, down the stairs and
into the cellar. where he threw away
DIS revolver, then up stairs again and
INTO the sitting room where he cooliy
seated himself in a chair beside the
astonished Mr.. Lane. He was arrest
ed without any resistance.
