The President Has in View the Immediate Needs of the Island of Puerto Rico. 4 SPECIAL MESSAGE SENT TO C0N6BESS. He Recommend* That the Revenue Received front Customs From the Island l»e Pat to Immediate Use for the General Purpose Of Keed- . ed Relief. Washington, March 3.—The presilent sent the follow in£ message to : congress: To the Senate and House of Representatives: Since the evacuation of Puerto Rico by the Spanish forces, on the eighteenth day of October, ISOS, the United States has collected on products coming from that island to the ports of the United States, the duties fixed by the Dingley act, and amounting to $2,095,455.68, and will continue to collect, under said law, until congress shall otherwise direct. Although I had the power, and j having in mind the best interests of the people, of the island, to use it to modify duties on goods and products entering intoPuertoliico, I did not have the power to remit or modify duties on Puerto Rican products coining into the ports of the United States. In view of the pressing necessity for immediate revenue in Puerto Rico for conducting the government there, and for the extension of public education, and in view, also, of ^he provisional legislation just inaugurated by the house of representatives, anti for the the purpose of making the principle embodied in that legislation applicable to the immediate jmst as well as to the immediate future, 1 recommend that the above sum collected, and

the sums hereafter to be collected, under existing law shall, without waiting for the enactment of the general legislation now pending, be appropriate^ for the use and benefit of the island. , william McKinley. Executive Mansion,March 2,1900. There was not a quorum present at the night session, and after waiting in vain until 9:80 for a quorum to *ppear the house adjourned. ' Paused by the House. Within two hours after a special message from the president recommending the immediate passage of a bill to place in his hands all the moneys collected upon Puerto Rican goods since the Spanish evacuation of the island to be used for the relief of the Puerto Ribans had been read to the house, Friday, the house had passed and sent to the senate a bill to carry out the recommendation. The message came like a bolt out of a clear sky to the minority. They were at first inclined to hail it with delight as a reproof of the majority for the passage of the Puerto Rican tariff bill on Wednesday. The republican leaders had recommended a bill already to carry the president’s recommendations into effect. Mr. Cannon asked immediate consideration for it, and this was given. It was only when the debate opened — it had been agreed that 20 minutes should be allowed on a side—that under the lead of Mr. Bailey (Tex.), the democrats began lining up against the bill, because it placed no limitation upon the president’s discretion in the use of the money. The bill was passed by a vote of 162 to 107, 13 democrats, two populists and two silver republicans voting with the republicans in the affirmative.

THE SALOONS OF MANILA P.I, Senator Pettigrew Secures the Pas■age of a Resolution Calling for Information. Washington, March 2.—Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.) secured the adoption, in the senate, of the following resolution: “That the president be requested, if not incompatible with public interest, to send the senate a statement of the number of the saloons that have been established in Manila, P. I., since the occupation of that city by United States forces; who are their patrons, and what kind of liquors are sold, and the quantity of such liquors. The president is also requested to inform the senate of the number, if any, of saloons, run on the Alnerican or English plan, in Manila before we occupied the place. The president is also requested to infrom the senate whether or not it is within his power, as commander-in-chief of our military forces, to suppress all saloons in Manila and prohibit and prevent the sale of liquor to our soldiers.'* To Relieve DlstveSs lu Puerto Rico. New York, March 3.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: To relieve the great distress in Puerto liico, caused by the hurricane, Secretary Boot, by. direction of the president, has authorized the use of $1,225,000 remaining over the emergency wai fund. • L The Week's Failures. New York, March 4.—B. Q. Dun A Co. report: “Failures for the week have been 222 in the United States, against 186 last year, and 28 in Canada, against 47 last vear.” a

PUERTO RICAN TARIFF BILL. Che Mm.irv, mm Amended. Passed by th« lluote of Kepreseutntlves 178 to 161. Washington, Feb. 28.—The last day of the struggle over the Puerto Rico tariff bill in the house opened with almost every member in his seat and a large attendance in the galleries. The leaders on both sides were actively engaged in rallying their forces and making computations upon the final vote. Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, the democratic whip, said the result would be very close, and turn upon the vote of two or three men on the democratic side. * Mr Tawney, the republican whip, said the bill would kdve five votes to spare When section 3 was reached, Mr. Payne* chairman of the ways and means committee, offered the following substitute for that section: “Section 3.—That on and after the passage of this act all merchandise coming into the United States from Puerto Rico, and coming into Puerto Rico from the United States, shall be entered at the several ports of entry upon payment of 15 per cent, of the duties which are required to he !e?jed, collected and paid upon like articles of merchandise imported from foreign countries, and in addition thereto, upon articles of mechandise" ol Puerto Rican manufacture coming into the United States, and withdrawn for consumption or sale upon payment of a tax equal to the internal revenue tax imposed in the United States upon the like articles of merchandise of domestic manufacture, such tax to h: purchased and provided by the commissioner of internal revenue, and t-i be procured from the collector of internal revenue at or most convemcm to the port of entry of said merchandise in the United States, and to b*. affixed under such regulations as the commissioner of internal revenue,with the approval of the secretary of tb<* treasury, shall prescribe; and on all articles of merchandise of, Unite-1 States manufacture coming into Pue* • to Rico in addition to the duty tbov-s provided in pay merit of a tax equal in rate and a«iount to the internal revenue tax imposed in Puerto Rion upon like articles of Puerto Riear manufacture.”

The bill, as amended as agreed upon at the conference of republicans on Monday night so as to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 per cent, of the American tariff and limiting its life to twc years, was passed by a vote of 17S, yeas* to 161 nays. Six republicans, Messrs. Crumpacker (Ind.), Fletcher (Minn.), Heatwole (Mann.), Littlefield (Me.), Lorimer (111.) and McCall (Mass.); voted with the opposition against the bill, and four democrats, Messrs. Davey and Meyer (La.), Devries (Cal.) and Sibley (Pa.) voted with the republicans for the bill. In addition,-Mr. Warner (rep., 111.) was paired against the bill with Mr. Boutelle (rep., Me.) for it. Two oth^r republicans, Mr. Lane (la.) and Mr. Farris (Ind.) were absent and unpaired. They were understood to be against the bill. Four democrats who were opposed to the bill, Messrs. Fleming ,(Ga.), Small (N. C.), Smith (Ky.) and Stallings (Ala.) w^ere absent and unpaired. Other pairs were: Gibson (Tenn.), Reeves (111.), Boutelle (Me.), Harmer (Pa.), Bailey. (Kas.); Sheldon (Mich.)and Wadsworth (N.Y.), all republicans, for the bill, with Tate (Ga.), Sparkman (Fla.), Fox (Miss.), Bellamy (N. C.),Cox (Tenn.) and Epes (Va.), democrats, all against the bill, Herculean efforts had been made to get out the full vote, and this led to fcome remarkable incidents. Six men were brought from beds of sickness; two of them from hospitals. Mr. Brownlow (Tenn.) was brought in a carriage with his wife and physician. He sat bundled up near the entrance until his vote was given, and then withdrew. It was felt that the strain would be severe upon him, but when Mr. Tawney, the republican whip, urged that the bill might be lost by this one vote, Mr. Brownlow said:

“I would rather lose my life than see this bill defeated.” Mr. Tawney and three assistants were out in carriages until midnight, Tuesday night, accounting for every vote, and Mr. Underwood, the demo* cratic whip, was similarly exerting every means to get out his vote. Three democrats were brought from sick beds. The first test vote was on a substitute offered by Mr. McCall on behalf of the opposition. It was the original Payne bill for free trade with Puerto Bico, and was defeated 160 to 174. Only five republicans voted for the substitute. Mr. Fletcher (rep., Minn.), who subsequently voted to recommit and against the bill, voted against thesubstitute. A motion to recommit, whiteh followed, shared the same fate, being lost, 160 to 172. There was great excitement throughout the roll calls, which were followed with eager interest by thousands of Spectators who packed the galleries to suffocation. The republicans indulged in a demonstration of wild jubilation when the final result was announced. Appointed to the Regular Army. Chicago, March 1.—A special to the Record from Galesburg, 111., says: Dr. J. D. Shepard, division medical director for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy relief department, accepted an appointment as surgeon in the regular army. He leaves for Manila April 1. Shot Himself While Jleraagcd. . Washington, March 2.—Gen. Otis has reported to the war department that Second Lieut. John R. Waugh, Thirtyninth infantry, shot himself through the heart while temporarily deranged from extreme nervousness.

Lord Dnndonald. With the Nuta] Carbineers and a Composite Reg;iment, Cleared the Way. EHTEKES THE CITY WEDNESDAY NIIIRT. The Result Achieved Only After the .Host Pmihtrnt and Determined . lOflfort for Several Week*—'Alii Butler be Able to Rciiest Roberts* Tactics t London, March 1, 9:52 a. m.—The war uib.ce has received the following dispatches from Gen. Buller: i “Littleton’s Headquarters, “March 1, 9:05 Morning. “Gen. PundonnUl, with the hiatal with the Natal carbineers, ani a composite regiment, entered ladysmith last night. “The country between me and I<ady<

SIR REPVERS BULLER. Smith is reported clear of the enemy. I am moving- on Neithorpe.” This ne\Vs, following so closely upon Lord Roberts’ victory- over Cronje, has sent London into transports of delight. Britishers do not stop to count the ecst, which is known to be severe. They Anly rejoice that relief has been brought White's sorely suffering garrison. This has been accomplished only after two weeks of desperate fighting. Buller, according to his dispatch of yesterday, in his movement had once been compelled to return to the south side of the Tugela, but he immediately returned tc the north side, at another point, and began the operations which resulted in the capture of Pieters hill, and now haVe found their fulfillment in the direct relief of Ladysmith. Some experts estimate that Buller has lost three 3,000 men in this move* ment. GEN. BILLER’S NEX1 MOVE. dill He Be Able to Turn the Tables on the lletreatins Boers? London, March 2.—What the next move will be remains as much a conundrum as prior to the receipt of Gen. Buller’s dispatch. Lord lmndonald is assumed tc have made a wide turning movement eastward, skirting Bulwana hill, and Gen. Buller may reasonably be expec ted to be in Ladysmith with the bulk of his forces by night. Whether, like Roberts, at Kimberly, he will be able to turn the tables on the retreating Boers; remains to be seen. Opinion here1 inclines to the belief that no aggressive movement can be immediately undertaken by Gen. Buller’s and Gen. W’hite’s forces, hence Roberts is likely to soon have to face the enemy, strengthened by large reinforcements from all sides.

While it is generally realized that Lord Roberts’ Strategy is mainly responsible for the relief of Ladysmith, there is a feeling of anxiety lest his plans suffer from the hordes Gen. Buller might let slip into the Free State.j Evidently Lord Roberts is awake to the situation. It is reported in London, but the news is not confirmed, that Gen. French has already reached Bloemfontein, which is not improbable, as the Boers are scarcely expected to make a stand there. The significance of Gen. Kitchener’s presence at Arundel is not yet explained. But wherever he goes something is likely to happen, and developments may shortly show strategic plans as interesting as those which culminated In the defeat of Gen. Cronje. LEFT THEIR ARMS INTACT. Cronje’s Men Did Not Destroy ISIther Arms or Ammunition. London, March 2.—With such determined enemies, says a special corresondent, telegraphing from I'aardeberg, under date of February S!7, one would’ suppose that the Boers would have destroyed their guns, small arms and ammunition, before surrendering. The only thing injured, however, was a Vickers-Maxim piece, which had been hit by a British shell. The London News states that Monte Carlo is the one spot on the con tinent at present where everything in done to please the English and make them comfortable, and the Monte Carlo people appreciate British patronage and _*_ Plugged shell !b merely another name for “solid shell.” This missile never bursts into fragments, but strikes any obstruction as a solid body. , It is said that out of every 100 lives insured. in England only five are women.

BiiCK IN THE RANKS. OuiMMta Who Helped Han mo Have How Xotklig to Hold Tbem. Mark Hanna has parted from his bogy. He has killed the goose that laid the golden egg. His great campaign stock in trade is gone. Like Richard, he may now ‘ caper nimbly in a lady’s chamber, to the lascivious pleasings of a lute.” When he presents himself this year, endeavoring to frighten democrats into support of McEinley, he will be laughed at. For he will not be able to ratty democrats to the support of the defender of the trusts and the subverter of the fundamental ideas of the republic. There can be no excuse for democrats giving aid or countenance to his man McKinley. When he presents himself demanding the rinews of war to bolster up a candidate who has nothing to recommend him he will be laughed at. It is now the boast of a republican correspondent that, the senate having passed the currency bill by an overwhelming majority, the financial question is removed^ indefinitely from the political campaign, because even if the proponents of free coinage were to endeavor to undo the work of this bill they would enter upon a stern chase which obviously is a long one. They would notjbe able, even with a silver majority in the bouse of representatives, to repeal this law for at least six years. It will be idle, therefore, on the part of Mark Hanna to raise the ery: “Wolf! Wolf!” Nobody will heed it and time will be afforded the immense number of socalled gold democrats, who really elected McKinley in 1896. to give their undivided attention to chastising tha,t gentleman for his manifold- sins. In effect, Mark Hanna serves notice on the country that an ally is not needed, that nothing is to be feared by those who are timorous of the enactment of free silver legislation, and, therefore, no one feeling strongly about the matter need give himself further concern. He has succeeded in establishing the gold standard for at least six years. Any assaults upon it in the meantime will be mere wastes i of effort.

The democrats who m 1S96 made I McKinley’s election possible are now | thoroughly ashamed of the part they ! had in elevating to the .chief magis- ! tracy a man with whose^general poI litical sentiments they had so little | in common and are likely very gladly ' to accept the hint of Hanna that he i has no further use for them. The currency matter is settled for six years at least. It is no longer an issue. Mr. McKinley cannot be posed by Hanna as the savior of the currency, as the champion of stability and the sinigle standard. He will come before the country seeking the presidency not dn any question of free silver, but as the wobbly champion of protection, socalled; as the particular friend of British aggression against republics * of Dutch origin, as the friend and defender of trusts, and as. the originator of an imperialistic policy which condemns the declaration of independence and seeks to give a new character to the republic of North America. As such democrats cannot but condemn him. He will appeal to them in vain. He had assistance from them in ’96; he can no longer claim it. If he does claim it, if he does send his , corrupt and corrupting manager seeking to frighten democrats into support of his candidacy he will not get it. Three years of McKinley have demonstrated to the people of the republic that to prolong his term would be undesirable, perhaps fatal.—Chicago Chronicle. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

—Annexing peoples to the United 1 States who cannot have the rights and privileges of American citizens is imperial, un-American and, from the republican .point of view, absurd.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. --When the administration sophists and grabbers' shall have shown that the constitution does not affect, any new territory acquired by the United States, they will have less difficulty in showing that it does not apply to any American territory whatever.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. -Anti-trust leagues hold conferences, listen to able speeches and adopt resolutions declaring trusts, combines and monopolies ‘'must go.” But the republican, congress continues to bind tighter around the people the chains of high protection, which fosters and supports many trusts. — Nashville American. ■ On the whole Secretary Hay should resign. He is an unfit person to be trusted with an American portfolio. The home of such sentiments as he possesses is on the other side of the Atlantic. This will be the opinion of all Americans independent of partisan feeling.—Memphis Commer-cial-Appeal. -Time was when the president of the United States was the head of the government. Now the president danoes attendance to the British ambassador, all on account of an overproduction of Hay in his cabinet. And McKinley was to have been our great American president.—Columbus (O.) Press-Post. -The first problem of “empire” which Mr. McKinley had to solve was how to deal with the Filipinos. Besult: An unnecessary war that is still waging. The first problem of “empire” presented to congress was the Porto j Bican tariff question.

THE ONLY SURE WAY Abolition ol m High Protective ‘I utl - Would Be a Blow to tke * Trusts. In considering' the action taken bj the anii-trust conference at its meeting in Chicago it may be said, without discussing the wisdom or tiineliaeaa of other features of the platform adopted, that the plank which declares for the withdrawal of protective tariffs from all articles controlled by a trust strikes an effective blgw at ti» root of the trust evil. It has become plain to the people of this country that the high ^rot *;tiv« tariff which, at the expenseofjthe consuming public, has made possible] the building up of eertain mammoth corporations, has also brought into being the trust as a palpable menace t4 the general good. The operation of the tariff gave to these favored industries a control of the markets. Established control naturally led to tlje| trusit or combine idea. The advantages )orn of the destruction of foreign competition inevitably suggested tire at vantages sure to follow the eliminatii n of the element of domestic competition by means of the “combine*' for the regulation of output and prices. ] The trust sj-stem would be broken at its strongest point the moment protective tariffs were removed] from all articles controlled by the trusts. The intrenched fortifications behind v hich the trust forces have been organized would be swept away, and this, tremendous influence forced into | the open. , Competition with the \ hole world would mean, first anc| foremost, healthy competition at home. I The centralizing tendency of com cae.rcial and industrial enterprises would thus, be effectually checked. The AiueVican people, the consumers, would bl the immediate and direct benetici i ties of this wholesome reform. j„ Nor may it now be charged tint- injustice would be done to Ante rican merchants or manufa^turerjs by this abolition of a high protective tariff. The very concerns that are new '‘protected’’ from European competition in their American, or home, marke s are to-day actually underselling those European competitors in E ire pean markets. They are doing1 fhi. . "of

course, because they can mamifacture the same or better goods tjh;:ia their European rivals at a less colst, *Vhat justification, then, is there for protective tariff which causes the „■ .merican consumer to pay a higher price for the same American product than does the consumer in a distjai t European market? The unfairness and iniquity c f the high protective tariff of to-day i% thus apparent in the world’s daily m arket transactions. The trust, the greatest existing menace in American, life at the present time, is the creature cf the high protective tariff. Abolish the tariff as no longer necessajry ti the ‘.‘protection” of American industries now able to undersell Europe ia her own markets. The moment that is done the worst trusts will die fo • lack of sustenance unjustly drawn fro m the general stock for the bloat-fattening of a favored class.—St. LouisTIep ublic. OUR SHIFTY PRESIDENT. Doable Deajlngr of the Chict Executive ia Hi* Treatment ofQnc itions of State. When a man plants himself square ly on both sides of any question the impression left on the popular; mind is that h^ has obliterated himself as a factor in the discussion, and .this has clearly happened in the case * f the president and the Porto Ri<;o tariff question. Mr. McKinle^’ began by congress in December that plain duty” to remove all strictions on trade between Porte Rico an’d the rest of the Unite ! S tates, He gives to some of those |\#h > tali with him the impression tpat he is stiU of the same opinion. |3§uii it it known that privately he is telling the republican congressmen that |ht y had better pass the ways and mjeum committee’s bill providing for a la: iff or saying in it was “a tjar';ff re

imports from Porto Rico. Wc c-o not, of course, suppose that Mr. FcKinley expected when he put in de recommendation for free trad# n his message in December that tie would be urging congressmen to maintain a tariff against Porto Jtico in February. The final result of such shitth ess ip the white house is that on t iis question the president’s power over legislation established by the constitution becomes a nullity. The presldei t conforms to the constitution in elling the congress what he thinks ou »ht to be done; but at the same t m : tells congressmen privately that be dll be just as well suited if they t o the opposite thing and that whateve r they may do will meet his approve 1.- -Hartford (Conn.)
