Postmaster General Emory Smith has written a letter to the chairman of the House post office committee, in which he condemns a Dill submitted for his opinion which contemplates legislation to carry into effect the purposes of the Economic Postal Association. It is proposed by the bill to give the association an exclusive right to manufacture “coupon return envelopes’ by means of which merchants connected with the organization can pay postage on replies sent them by prospective patrons. The Postmaster General gives many’ practical objections to the administrative features of the proposed legislation, and says: “But serious as would be the embarrass- ments of administration under this meas- ure, the gravest objection is one of princi- ple. The proposition to turn over a part of the postal service to a private corpora- ton and monopoly {s utterly repugnant to the whole theory of the postal establish- ment.”” Attention ts called to the fact ‘that the Post Office Department has transimitted to Congress a Dill designed to meet the re- quirements by providing for the transmis- sion of such matter through,the mail with- out prepayment of postage,-the postage to be collected from the addressee as postage due is now collected under present condi- tions. —_—_2+__ Forts on Northern Frontier. Representative Sulzer of New York has introduced the following reselution: “Resolved, ete., That the Secretary of War is hereby directed to inform the House of Representatives as early as possi- ble what fortifications Great Britain is erecting, constructing and completing along the northern frontier of the United States, especially at Puget sound and other places on the Pacific ocean, contiguous to the state of Washington and the district of Alaska.” ————-~—___ A Special Census Agent. , > John R. Kendrick of Philadelphia has been appointed special agent of the census bureau to collect statistics of the manu- facture of carpets, upholstery goods, - in the city of Philadelphia. > oe WITHOUT RESULT Caucus of Republican Senators Yes- terday Afternoon. DISCUSSION OF PORTO RICAN BILL After Long Debate Adjournment to This Afternoon Taken. FEELING DISPLAYED = SOME All that Was accomplished at the confer- ence of republican senators late yesterday afternoon was a more complete disclosure of the extent of the division in the party over the Porto Rican bill. After two and a half he scussion the conference ad- journed over until this afternoon. Deep feeling was displayed over the ques- tion by a number of senators, and especial- ly by these of the middle west, some of whom did not he: te to affirm thai any effort to place a tariff upon the exchange of business between the United States and Porto Rico probably would have an injuri- P upon the republican party in those states. There were some sharp pas- sages at arms. It was generally agreed, however. that from a party point of view almost any bill was better than none, and this feeling gave the friends of the measure hope despite the apparently unylelding at- titude of the opposing factions. They are sull holding to the bill as originally intro- duced. and express the belief that it will form the ba: of Whatsoever settlement is agreed upon. This opinion ts based upon what was said in a general way, and not upon any poll of the caucus, for there was nothing approaching a vote during the meeting. One indication that an agreement Is ex- pected 1s the continued determination of the Cuban subcommittee to leave tonight for a tour of Cuba. Those senators who favored the proposi- tion for a tariff on Porto Rican goods com- ing into this country and free trade for goods going to Porto Rico said that this course would be humane in principle since it would afford free entry of food and sup- plies needed by the Porto Ricans, while the tariff on goods coming into this country would supply révenue for the island and also retain the principle of protection. Several times during the debate the course of the administration was mentioned and the statements made that the country was aroused because it had seemed that Congress was acting contrary to the ‘wishes of the President. Several senators asserted that the President was now anxious for the proposed tariff of 15 per cent. Position of Ohio Senators. Senator Foraker talked at considerable length, and vigorously supported the bill, and was especially determined that the governmental features should not be aban- doned. He also defended the tariff provi- sions as being of an advantage instead of a hardship upon the people of Porto Rico. He declared that the bill as amended by the committee, levying 15 per cent duty on products, both ways, was the best measure that could be passed, but said he was willing to accent the compromise, levying a duty only on Porto Rican products com- ing tot country Senstor Hanna made a speech that was listened to with great interest. He favored the House bill and especially the tariff pro- ions. He said that from a party view i ight to remain. This was a re- ngress and there should be re- C islation, If the bill was defeat- ed he asserted that it would hand the legis- lation over to the democrats. He also spoke of the effect 4 free trade measure would have upon the workingmen, who feared the :t should the policy of free trade with the Philippine Islands be established by granting free trade to Porto Rico. He urged the republicans to stand firmly to- gether for the bill. Mr. Proctor for Free Trade. Senator Proctor of Vermont said that he believed in free trade with Porto Rico and thought the :natter could be adjusted by having a military governor and not at- tempting either a civil government or tariff legislation at the present time. Senator Fairbanks deplored the situation and expressed the hops that there might be some adjustment. He said that there was no question as to the feeling of the people in his state, who were for free trade with Porto Rico. Mr. Davis’ Argument. Senator Davis, who recently introduced an amendment extending that portion of the Constitution relative to taxation over the island, made quite an extended speech, taking strong grounds in favor of free trade with Porto Rico. He said that it was not because the tariff would keep out or let in certain products that Congress should act, but because the almost univer- sal sentiment of the people should be heed- ed—a sentiment which, he said, had been kindled by the manner in which Porto Rico had come into the United States. He said that there was no need to fear that in extending the Constitution over Porto Rico that {t would mean like action when legislation for the Philippines was under consideration: Each Island and group should be and would be dealt with sepa- rately and independently. It would be time enough to consider the Philippine tariff when it was reached. Senator Aldrich did not take any-particu- lar side, but he counseled action which would unite the republican majority. Senator Perkins, as well as other mem- bers of the Porto Rican committee, wanted the bill agreed upon without compromise or amendment. Quite a number of senators in this con- nection expressed the opinion that a ma- jority would vote for the bill as reported, and took dccasion to criticise the unstable policy which was being pursued, saying that the constant changing had done more to shake the falth of the country than any- thing else. No Right to Tax Dependencies. Senator Simon of Oregon went further than any other senator in declaring his un- alterable position in favor of free trade with Porto Rico. He said that we had no right to tax our dependencies, and that if we did not intend to treat the new ac- quisitions as we treated other acquired ter- ritory we should not retain them. He saw no menace to labor, manufacturing or agri- culture in free trade with the islands, but a promise of far greater increase of com- merce. Senator Mason also took strong grounds in favor of free trade with the islands if they were to be retained as a possession or a part of the United States. He sald that the trouble was not with Porto Rico, but with the Philippines. This could be easily averted by announcing our determination not to hold the Philippines, but to grant them the freedom which many of them sought and to assist them to form a stable government. It would not be diffi- cult then to enter into satisfactory trade relations with them, and our laboring men would not then be threatened with cheap Malay labor, which, he said, seemed to be troubling a great many advocates of the present tariff. Senator Spooner urged party harmony and believed that_the senators could find some common ground upon which differ- ences could be adjusted. He was for the committee bill, as was also Senator Hale, who spoke against what he said were the dangers lurking in our attempting to con- trol and to legislate for the distant islands of the Pacific. + o+____ javal Note: Commanders Maynard and Lyon have qualified for promotion to the rank of cap- tain in the navy. : Lieut.

Naval Constructors Bowles of the New York navy yard, Baxter of the Boston navy yard, and Stahl of the Norfolk navy yard were heard ; by the House committee on nival affeirs on the relative advantages and disadvantages of building warships in govermment yards, Among the advantages of government con- struction, ax specified by Constructor Bowles, are the maintenance of an organ- ized force ready for emers: : the avo'd- ance of profits: the saving of cost of in- mt and spection and in trial trips. Among the disadvantages given are Unit the govern- ment yards are handicapped by the cum- bersome naval bui yards pay 10 to than private yar bor, such as pri siderable extent, : gevernment t higher wages and boy la- » to a con yards give no Ruaramiy of results similar to those giv by private yards. Mr. Rowlex also gave comparivons of cost of sh uit in private and in government showing that ihe governmeni-built vst_ more. He compared the Texas, the Norfolk ns showing built ina privat showing that the former cost 2 cent more per than the r. A similar comparison the Raleigh und Mir =< showed that the former, which wa.: built in a gov- ernment yard, cost 70 per ecnt more than ihe latier.

The investigation of charges that certain federal appointees are polygamists came to a close yesterday by an agreement for a unanimous report from the House commit- tee on post offices and post roads, which conducted the Investigation. Representa- tive McPherson submitted the report, It reviews the evidence and sums up the find- ings as follows: “So your committee con- clude: “First. Neither of the parties (Postmas- ters Graham and Smith) are now, nor have they been, under indictment for the crime of polygamy, In so far us yeur committee is advised. One of suid parties now un- der information, charging him with the crime of being guilty of} mous cohabi- tation, which crime. being misdemeanor, can be lawfully charged by information Utah. Said case has not yet been tried, or in any way determined by the court, where it is yet pending. “Second. When both of ssid parties were appointed, two witnesses testified the said Graham and Smith had the repute, which Was open and notorious in thelr respective communities, of being polygamists. “Third. At the time as aforesaid there were on file, as herein set forth, the papers, hereinbefore recited and nothing else. There was no affidavit at any ime on file with respect to efther or both of said parties, And there is no evidence to show that either the President or Postmaster General or any assistant of the Postmaster Gen- eral’s, or any other efficlal connected with the power of appointment, had any nott or intimation of any fact or facts in this report containe¢ PENSIONS. , ALLOWING Mr. Evanw’ Kindly Feeling Toward the Old Soldier. There was an interesting Mttle seene in the office of Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans this morning. when one of the examiners brought up for discussion the case of a soldier who had applied for an increase of pension. The papers had been badly drawn and the proof s not as con- clusive as it should have been, and the man's case as filed would absolutely have failed according to law. The examiner ven- tured the opinion that it was within the power of the department to increase the man’s pension without considering the pres- ent application. The commissioner at once ordered the increase, and directed the ex- aminer to return the app[cation of the sol- dier, with instructions to perfect his ciaim and submit {t again for consideration. Had the commissioner been unfriendly to the old soldier it would have been an easy matter to have simply said that the claim was ile- gal and the papers would have been re- ferred to the old soldier without an in- crease. This is juet one case of a great many that come to the attention of the commissioner each day. It is fmpossible, of course, for him to see every case and learn the merits, and he has to rely in large measure upon his eubordinates. He has selected these as near as possible from the old soldiers, in order that the soldiers may get the benefit of every doubt. Many applicants think that Commissioner Evans personally has super- vision and passes upon their claims. This, however, is erroneous, for it is not within the power of any man to do such a her- culean task. One need only recall the fact that there are 306 clatms for pension al- lowed each day, and the impossibility of one man looking into the merits of each case {s at once manifest. Hut wherever an examiner calls the attention of the commis- sioner to @ meritorious case there is not the slightest hesitancy on the latter’s part to give the soldier everything that the law allows, and just a little more when the op- portunity presents itself. --e- AGAIN — Former Representative Watson Has Been Sounding Public Sentiment. David K. Watson, former attorney gen- eral of Ohio, later a representative from the Columbus (Ohio) district, and now a member of the United States codifying com- mission with headquariers in Washington, returned today from Ohio, whither he went more than a week ago to sound public sen- timent regarding his possible candidacy for Congress again this yea Mr. Watson says he found an almost uni- versal demand for him to enter the rac and it is understood that President Me- Kinley is also desirous of his being a candi- date. An interesting feature of the fight that will come up in that district is the fact the present representative, John J. Lentz, is a law partner of Governor George K. Nash, who was the administration and successful candidate for the position the latter now holds. ‘The word “almost.” however, may pre- vent Mr. Watson from pitting himself Inst Mr. Lentz. He declared today that © demand must be unanimous—entirely so—if he enters the contest. aoe EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. MAY RUD LENTZ. Data Concerning Foreign Commerce for February.

Franklin building regular meeting of wool trustees. at the last evening, that at a previous se Gng ef the board action had been tuken looking to a change in the office of superintendent of schools of the ninth, tenus h divisions (the ©! ored schoois), and that the matter had bee: formally placed in the hands of the Dis- trict Commissioners as the body having sel jurisdiction. The matter came up only tneidentally «i the meeting yesieriay. im acting upon the minutes of the previous meeting, followed by a statement by Chairman Whelpley (1 he had officially notifled the District « missioners of whxi had been done by the board. The minutes of the secret meeting (Feb- ru; 20) showed that the board with a full atiendan :uembers resolved into a committee of the whole “further consideration of the report perintendep: Cook, and to give he such persons as have been requ appear before board.” The supe: dent and ihe eupervising principals of colored schools were among the persons ted to the mectins. AM of the principal ati and gave iestimony in_ re the conduct of the schools, but Suprr deni Cook failed to appear. Resol pm Adopted. of that hearing the b adopted a resolution declaring that “W? as in the investigation of the sup dent of the schools of the ninth, te eleventh divisions this board finds much in- effici y and neglect by the incumbent of the work pertaining to the strictly edu cational features of that office,” is there fore resolved the board of trustees recommends to the Commissioners of the District cf Columbia that a change be made in the office of superintendent of schools of the ninth, tenth and eleventh divisions, and they appoint to it a man whe wil! r to the position all that it stands for from an educational standpoint.” These proceedings were ratified at last night's meeting. and it is expected the I trict Commissioners will act upon the mat- ter in a few days. Although it wax not so stated, it is understood the colored trusiees of the board have agreed to a change !n the superintendency of the colored schools, with the understanding that the office shal! continue to be filled by a colored man tn case one possessing all the qualifications can be found willing to accept It. In view of certain statements made before the Sen- ate committee investigating the school sy+- tem of the District, that the colored schools might make better progress with a white superintendent, it is said the colored trus- tees fear that a movement wili be m in that direction now that the office ts abou to become vacant. The colored people of the District are very jealous of the control of the colored schools, now entirely under the supervision of colored men, it ts stated, and they will resent the appointment of ® white superintenCent. Routine Business Transacted. The remainder of the session of the board at yesterday's meeting was devoted to the consideration of routine business. Al! the members were present, as was also Super- intendent Powell. A communication was read from Mr John Lawson of the executive commitier of the Afro-American Council requ that the children in the colored acho: b permitted to contribute a penny each to- ward the fund being raised to test before the United States Supreme Court the con- stitutionality of the Louisiana constitution of 1898 abridging the political rights of negro citizens. Mr. Brown said that while he was $ hearty sympathy with the movement re ferred to, he agreed with the other mem- bers of the board that the proposition to collect money in the public schools regard- less of the merits of the case was in vic- lation of the standing rules of the schools. On motion of Mr. Wilson the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Lawson that the desired permission cannot be granted. Application was made on behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association for per- mission to hang placards in the public schools advertising a lecture on “Liquid Air.” Several other applications of a simi- lar character were read. On motion of Mr. Wilson the permission was denied in each case on the ground that such methods of advertising are prohibited in the public schools. Colored Cooking School. Mrs. Francis, to whom was referred the so-called “round robin" against the cook- ing school at 917 P street, reported that after a personal investigation she has certained that the burden of grievance against the school was its long distance from the homes of many of the pupils. It Was on that account that the parents of some of the pupils had asked that their children be excused from further atten ance. On Mrs. Francis’ motion it was cided to grant the desired privilege. Remarks were made by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Wilson, and the latter suggested that the selection of a more convenient lo- cality for the colored cooking school be left to the further consideration of Mrs. Francis. On his own application Mr. R. R. Riordan, principal of the Greenleaf scheol, was au: thorized to conduct vacation schools in tha’ building during the coming summer under the same rules as he conducted similur schools at the McCormick building “summer. Designated as Principal. On motion of Mr. Harries Mr. A. I. Gard- ner was designated principal of the Central High School, in order to make his title conform to his duties.
