Had the president insisted ‘on the free trade recommendation | contained in his message to congress, ‘trade would now be flowing between | the United States and Puerto Rico. | The island would be rapidly resuming the prosperous condition in whieh the Spanish war found it. Had the} president maintained for several con- secutive weeks the same attitude on the question a tariff bill of some kind would have been passed. A chronological examination of the attitudes which President McKinley has occupied on the Puerto Rican tariff question supplies food for psychologists. December, Kinley in recommends Rico. January, 1900—Secretary of War Root, a member of President McKin- ley’s cabinet, in constant communi- cation with the president, at the request of the house ways and means committee drafts a bill placing a tariff of 25 per cent of the Dingley tariff upon Puerto Rico. February—Intimations come to the house of representatives that th ‘president approves a 25 percent tari on Puerto Rico. March 1—Bill placing tariff of percenton Puerto Rico passes the house. March 3—President Mckinley in a message to congress recommends the return to Puerto Rico of all moneys collected as tariff from Puerto Rican exporters. March 9—“Cabinet member” issues “authoritative statement’? in which he declares that the tariffon Puerto Rico was demanded by ‘certain busi- ness interests’ which feared that free ‘i ~| trade in Puerto Rieo would be taken as a precedent for free trade in the Philippines. March 11—Intimations come tothe senate that the president favors a reduction in the Beests Rican tariff to 15 percent. March 14—The president declares to prominent republican senators, among them Senator Beveridge, that he favors free trade with Puerto Rico without extending the constitution over that island. March 17—President' McKinley de- clares to senators who consult him that he favors a one-way duty on Porto Rico as a temporary device. March 21—President is brought to favor a 15 per cent duty on pressure of “important business interests.”’ March 21—President favors a sepa- ration of thegovernmental and tariff sections of the Puerto Rican bill. After all these changes it is doubt- ful whether or not any man in the United States, even President) Mc- Kinley himself, knows where the President of the United States stands on the tariff question of the Puerto Rican tariff. Meanwhile Puerto Rico's trade is paralyzed and her citizens are starving. Che Weexi.y Times, published every Thursday, will be sent to any address sme year, postage paid, for $1.00, i ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Washington, April 1.—For the first time since the opening of the Spanish war, the republicans in the adminis- tration and in congress admit that their lines are broken and that they are confronted with rout and defeat. | The complacency which character- ized all their expressions during the warand immediately following it has given way to confusion, and candid admission that they can no longer forsee in the coming elec- tions. Many of the leaders of that party have stated in private during the last week that they will lose the house undoubtedly, and that all the indi- cations point to the defeat of their jidate for the presidency. orth, south, east or west, their correspondents make but one report to the republican politicians in Wash- lissatisfaction and resentment over the Piilippine situa- tion, the continuation of the war taxes and the republican treatment of Puerto Rico. rd to the last issue, the re- publican leaders admit that no mat- ter what action they may take now, there is no escape from gemeral con- demnation. ‘Their predicament is ex- plained in the second letter of Speaker Henderson. If they pass the Puerto Rican tariff bill, the republicans stand condemned by their own president for violation of their plain duty. If they establish free trade with Puerto Rico, they are committed to the con- stitutional principle asserted by the democrats, that the constitution ap- plies to the newly acquired territory and they must give free trade to the hordes of Asia taken into the United States by their policy of holding all the Philippines. There is the republican difficulty. They care little about » trade with the Puerto Ricans. They fear to submit to the judgment of the Amer- ican voters their handling ef the Philippine question if a tariff wall cannot be built against the fifty tribes of semi-barbarians dragged into competition with American la- borers by a policy forced through the senate by every power of ecercion and appeal within the power of presi- dent McKinley. The republican leaders fear to zo before the laboring men with such an outcome as the res idum of the hazy purposes they have had for the government of which they have exhausted appeals about “manifest destiny” and ‘hauling down the flag The “hauling down of the flag” in the Philippines recently hus had a new significance. It is broached by republicans of the highest authority in congress that if free trade must be had with these Asiatics, (as seems in- evitable when the Puerto Rican tariff act is passed upon by the supreme court), the proposition to abandon the Philippines will come anew from republican quarters, even after the millions of treasure and thousands of American lives lost during the con- duct of military operations in those islands. Their leaders admit that they will Ineet with certain defeat and that they cannot hold normally republi can states on the issue of free trade with the Philippines. success Many a school- girl is said to be lazy and shiftless hen she doesn’t deserve the least bit of it.

When the first battery appeared the Boers seemed undesirous of con- tinuing the slaughter and called up- on the British to surrender. At that moment. however, “B” battery, which was escaping from the rear of the convoy under heavy fire, wheeled into actien and began shelling the Boers with the four remaining guns. The Boers confess that this battery accounted for five killed and nine wounded of their losses. Early in this aftertioon the Boers collected about the convoy, began removing the guns and wagons and permitting the collection of the Brit- ish dead and wounded. Our actual casualties were less than had been expected.
