A direct vote was taken by the Senate late yesterday afternoon on a proposition to strike from the Porto Rican bill the pro- vision levying a tariff of 15 per cent of the Dingley law duties on Porto Rican products and it resulted in the defeat of the propo- sition by a vote of 33 to 16. The amend- ment read: ‘That on and after the passage of this act all merchandise coming into the United States from Porto Rico and coming into Porto Rico from the United States shall be entered at the several ports of en- try upon payment of 15 per cent of the duties which are required to be levied, col- lected and paid upon’ like articles of mer- chandise imported from foreign countries.” While the vote is regarded by many as Presaging the passage of the goer meas- ure, it is not regarded as indicating the final vote on the bill.

After The Star's report had closed the Senate considered the committee amend- ment which provided that the Spanish or native inhabitants of Porto Rico and their children should be “citizens of Porto Rico and as such entitled to the protection of the United States.” Mr. Morgan maintained that the people of Porto Rico were citizens of the United States, and as such were entitled to the rights and immunities prescribed by the Constitution. The amendment, he sald, was a “vain and empty declaration. It became evident that the amendment could not be disposed of before adjourn- ment, and it was passed over until today. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment to the section of the bill which proposes to re- deem the Porto Rican silver coins in United States money, giving 60 cents of American money for the Porto Rican peso. The amendment proposed to pay 100 cents for the peso. Alleged Discrimination. Mr. Morgan held that in the proposed exchange of coins the United States was taking advantage of the Porto Ricans be- cause the peso contained the same amount of stlver as the American dollar. The Porto Ricans, he said, are entitled to 100 cents for their pesos, because that amount of silver in money would be worth a hundred cents on the dollar. Mr. Jones (Ark.) and Mr. Bacon (Ga.) took the same position. Mr: Foraker maintained that the position of the democratic senators was not correct. There was no intention to deprive the Porto Ricans of any value, as the American dollar now was worth in debt paying power prac- tically two pesos in Porto Rico. He be- Heved the proposition of the bill was en- tirely liberal to the Perto Ricans. The discussion of the amendment took a wide range and had_not been concluded when the Senate at 4:55 p.m. adjourned. os makes of corets at price that means Soeonendendondeagondengeogendongengengen juniities and greatest riety of fancy checks, Bleuse styles, end some Piers ues Cooaaes stripes and plaids.

The manufacturers of the United States are the most active among our importers at the present time. In the month of. Feb- ruary. the details of whose commerce have Just been presented by the treasury bureaw of statistics, manufacurers’ materials amounted to almost one-half of the total importations, if we include under this term the importations classified by the bureau of statistics as “articles wholly or partially manufactured for use in the manufactures and mechanic arts.” The total importations in the month of February were $68,774,150. Of this amount, $25,938,601, or 37.71 per cent, was classified by the bureau of statistics as “articles in a cTude condition, which enter into the various processes of domestic industry,” which, of course, entitles all of these to ‘be classified as “manufacturers’ materials.” Following this comes another group of $6,732,437, which the bureau classifies as “articles wholly or partially manufactured for use in the manufactures and mechanic arts, “which it seems to be proper to also classi- fy as manufacturers’ materials.” This gives a total, therefore, of manufacturers’ materials amounting to $32,669,038, or 4714 ber cent of the total importations. Thus it may properly be said that practically one- half of the foreign productions coming into the United States at the present time are for use in the factories of the United States. To this may be added another statement that another quarter, practically, of the importations coming into the United States are articles of food, most of which cannot be produced in the United States in suffi- clent quantities for the use of its popula- tion, the February importations of “articles of food and live animals” having amounted to $16,254,153, or 23.63 per cent of the im- ports for that month. Taking the eight months ending with February, tt is found that articles of food formed 25.15 per cent of the total imports; manufacturers’ materials, including the two classes above named articles in a crude condition and articles wholly or partially manufactured for use in the mechanic arts —amounted to 45.62 per cent. Thus, while Importations have materially ine , it may be said of them that Practically one-half are materials for use {nm the factory, one-fourth for food, and the other quarter manufactures and luxuries. The following table shows the tmporta- tions in princtpal articles of manufacturers’ materials, foodstuffs, and manufactured articles during the eight months ending with February, of the correspon ht months of the pre fiscal year. It will be seen that a largest growth —— thas ” materials, the importations of raw silk, rubber, chemicals belng more ‘than $10,000,000 in each case, and the avegage for the group over 45 per cent, while in manufactures the increase is but 30 per cent, and in foodstuffs. 23 per cent.

C.) of the Daughters of the American Revolution have had a relief committee to look after and relieve suffering and want among the wives, widows and children of the United States soldiers in the field and sailors at sea. As time goes on this work has in- creased, and feeling the need of more means for its continuance the chapter has acted upon the suggestion of some.of the em- ployes in the State, War and Navy building and opened lunch and tea rooms at 734 1ith street. The rooms are bright and at- tractive, the service geod, tho fare wel! cooked and very daintily served. Each day since the chapter took possession of the rooms luncheon has been served to from fifty to seventy persons.

Commissioners Explain Senate Their Dog-Muzzling Order. In compliance with a request of the Sen- ate the District Commissioners have trans- mitted to that body a statement relative to thelr dog-muzzling order of December 19, to in beauty and variety.

SATURDAY, MARCH 31. neurpamed Our Lines of dainty materials are wi 1112 CONNECTICUT AVENUE. t 1899. The Commissioners cite the law appli- | cable in the case, explaining that they were officially informed by the Secretary of Agri- culture and the District health officer that rabies existed at that time here and in the adjacent counties of Maryland and Vir- ginia. Since the' first of the year, the Com- missioners state, there have been reported here not less than seventeen cases of the disease. The disease, the Commissioners have been informed and believe, comes through in- oculation only, and that it may take from a few weeks to twelve to develop. They .therefore felt constrained to specify a term of six months, hoping that evidence of the disease might have disappeared by that time, but with the knowledge that should the evidences of the disease continue the time could be extended. In view of the statements already made the Commissioners are of the opinion that the law was properly and wisely adminis- tered, and that rabies does exist in the District of Columbia; that the people and animals are in danger, and that the only way to prevent a continuation of this ease and its dreadful consequences is by strict enforcement of the act. ———— LADY CLIENTS. ‘There Are Patent Lawyers Who De Not Solicit Their Patronage.
