WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—~The debate | upon the Porto Rican tariff bill, which is | to continue throughout .the week, and | possibly longer, opened in the House to- day. On all sides it is agreed that this | bill, although it applles only to Porto | Rico, involving as it does the question of | the power to govern our new possessions | outside the limitations of the island, is 153 “ the most important measure which will & | come before this- Congress. Interest in " | the bill is intense among the members on 4 | both sides, and there is urgent demand @ | for time. The Democrats are solidly ar- ¢ | rayed against the measure, and they will & have powerful support from the Repub- | lican side In McCall of Massachusetts and Littlefleld of-Maine, both able and force- ful debaters. How far the Republican dis- ¢ | affection will extend-:or whether it will @ | endanger the bill, it is tmpossible to say at 4 | ths time. & | Pavne, the floor leader of the majority, | refused to agree that a vote should be 4 | taken upon a substitute to be offéred by 4 | the minority. This substitute, which has 4 | not yet been framed, will be In substance the bill originally introduced by Payne, providing for free trade with Porto Rico 4 | by the extension of the customs and rey- & | enue laws of the United States over the | island. The debate to-day lacked exciting fea- ¥ |tures. It was in the nature of a long- | range bombardment before the clash of @ | the contending forces in battle. Payne opened with & general argument in sup- ? | port of the bill, going largely into the n which the Richardson, . bill is designed to relieve. the Democratic leader, the power of Congres posed to enact the pro- listened to with close attention. gon of Tenhessee, the leader of the mi- nority, made the opening argument in op- position te the measure. Sald he: I am not an alarmist, but in my judgment the pending bill is more dangerous to the liberties of the people of. this republic than any meas- M. | ure ever before seriously presented to the American Congress. It will prove more far- Teaching in ite provisions and disastrous in the results that must necessarily follow if it should be enacted Into law than any act ever passed by Congress. The bill is framed upon the idea and assump- He la- ch, joined issue upon legislation, and Daizell of Pennsyl- of | vania backed up Payne with a constitu- tional and legal argument.

All will stand by the Union and the “constitution. We revere that instrument as the best ever devised by the brain and intellect of man. It has been the hope and the stay of our people for more than & hundred years. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, the rankirg member of the Ways and Means Commit- tes, followed in a legal and constitutional argument in support of the contention of the majority that the constitution did not extend over our new possessions, The | constitution, he sald,.was established by the people of the United States for the United States. It provided for the future -admission of countries into the Union, and expressly conferred upon Congress the pPower to govern them as Territories until they were admitted as States. Dalzell expressed his opposition to frea trade with Porto Rico uF this time. e must be generous to Porto Rico, but just to ourselves. If we must have free trade with Porto Rico, we must with the Phiiip- | pines, The result might be the plantmg | of immense areas of sugar and tobacco. | The low wages paid would be a menace to | labor in this country. | Turning to the question of the consent | of the governed, Dalzell asserted that i a | representative republic the right to gov- | ern did not depend upon the consent of | the governed. The methods of govern- |meryt prescribed by the principles of a gucan lfberty as'practiced in the United tates would be grotesque in the Philip- | pine Islands and would bring to their peo- ple no advantage, They would be, in point of fact, impossible of exercise. “The guarantees of liberty,” he conclud- ed, “do mot exist alone in the constitu- tion of the United States. ~They do not de- pend ugon the great instrument for their strength and perpetuity. They would con- tinue to live and flourish if that constitu- | tion were annihilated. They are the in- | destructible heritage of humanity. | The House at 5 o'clock took a recesz un- til 8 o'clock, the evening session to be de- voted to private pension legislation. RESOLUTIONS AIMED AT THE SUGAR TRUST v ASHINGT Feb. 19.—Representa- | tive Richardson of Tennessee, the minor- | ity leader of the House, after consulta- tion with some of his Democratic col- leagues to-day, introduced in the House STATUS OF COLONIES DEBATED ~ IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE Party Lines Drawn Upon the (uestion of Extending the Authority of the Constitution to the Insular Possessions WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—A simple res. olution of inquiry introduced in the Sen- ate to-day by Hale of Maine precipitated an hour's constitutional debate by some of the ablest constitutional lawyers in the body on the authority of Congress at its pleasure to extend or withhold the con- Stitution to territory acquired by the United States. The bill providing a gov- ernment for the Territory of Hawali was under consideration most of the after- noon, Cullom, in charge of the measure, explaining in detail its provisions. On convening the Senate passed a bill for the relief of claimants having cases pending against the United States in the Circuit and District Courts affected by an act of 1898, Halé offered a resolution which, after a long debate, was adopted. calling upon the commissioners of tne District of Co- lunibia for information as to why the law _of Congress relating to telephone arges had not been enforced and prac- tically was inoperative. Gallinger, Foraker and Platt of Con- uecticut called attention to the fact that the. telephone charges fixed by Congress had been decided by a Judge of the Su- reme Court of the District of Columbia o amount to a practical conflscation of telephone property and in violation of the constitutional provision against taking roperty = without due process of law. fach rather deprecate Congressional action in _the questioning of court de- cisions, whether satisfactory to Senators or not. Hale insisted that the rights of the telephone monopoly in the premises should be passed upon by the United States Supreme Court. Tillman at this point, having in mind the extension of the constitution over the | insular possessions of the United States, Kr?ripltatcd a legal debate by Inquiring ow the constitution extended over the District of Columbia, if, as had been maintained, Congress had plenary power in_the district. ForaKer replied that the constitution extended over the district when it was a part of Virginia and Maryland and was never withdrawn. He maintained that Congress had ample authority, in his judgment, to extend the constitution over such territory as the United States might acquire, or withhold it at will. Once ex- tended over territory Congress was bound by its limitations. Chilton of Texas inquired if the provi- sions of the constitution, once extended ty, will 28" Mail should be sent to Hernandez. | “Army orders—The following named offi- | | cers are relieved from duty in the Philip- e Islands and will proceed to itant general of the army for orders: PACIFIC COAST tenant Campbell E.

Richardson proceeded with an exhaust- fve legal argument to prove that the con- | stitution extended over our new posses- | sions, quoting numerous dectsions of the Supreme Court. He continued: But even if it be conceded that Con- gress hi the power to legislate In accord- | ance with the provisions of the pending blll, | then the exercise of such power would be un- tended to the island of Porto Rico ex proprio it must be admitted that when we enter upon legislation for the island, as | Congress will do if it passes this bill, that question will be put at rest and the territory The control of the President and military will to the island | low that it is then a part of the United States. qual taxation of the island as a of the Unlited States is the boldest form sage of this act, be prohibited by the Inte ; | state Commerce Commission from being tran: ported .in any manner whatsoever from one State to another until the said commission are satisfied that sugars offered for interstate transportation have not ylelded a profit to the manufacturer thereof of more than 4 per cent in excess of the cost of the same, which sball be ascertained In such manner as the said com- mission in its discretion may determine. The second provides that: ‘Whereas, A monopoly exista among sugar manufacturers and in consequence enormous profits are being realized; therefore be it Resolved, From and after the passage of this resolution all kinds of sugars, molasses and everything entering Into the manufacture of sugars shall be admitted free of duty from Porto Rico, Cuba and the Hawalian Islands. Richardson, speaking of these resolu- tions, said: The Interstate Commerce Commission, under the constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court in the Addiston Pipe and Steel Com- pany and the F, C. Knight Company cases, has the power fo refuse interstate transpor- tation to sugars and other manufactured ar- ticles which produce enormous profits through monopolistic_control until the profits on such £00ds have been brought within fair and rea- sonable limits, and when .the necessities of life are involved, as in sugars, If not in any -other manufactured articles controlled by mo- o 1| wise.

Price e, there might be difficulty In withdrawing | the constitutfon when once extended over a territory. The discussion of the constitutional questions involved took a wide range. Lindsay of Kentucky was inclined to the opinion, he said, that the constitution could be extended or withheld from ac- quired territory. Vest of ssou in- quired whether Chief Justice Marshall had not decided that wherever the authority and jurisdiction of the United States éx- tended the constitution also Lindsay did not think that the entiré constitutional interpretation of all the fu- ture ought to be based on- Chief Justice Marshall’s decision In that cass. In re- sponse to Hoar, Lindsay said the appli- cation of the constitution had been ex- panded. Jefferson, he said, did not belleve a State could be created out of territory not included within the original limits of the United States, but nevertheles had advanced far l»?mnd that point. The bill providing for & government for Hawaii was then taken up. Cullom of Illinois, in charge of the measure, ex- plained’ its provisions section by seétion, elaborating the necessarily condensed lan- guage of the bill. Tillman was disposed to criticise the bill, as indicated by his interruptions of Cullom, because property and educational qualifications for voters and office holders were required, inasmuch as objections were raised in t country to Southern Btates demanding simflar qualifications of their voters. Cullom said the matter had been con- sidered most carefully by the Forelgn Re- lations Committee, and, as a means of protecting the interests of the islands and their citizens from disorder and confu- slon, the restricted suffrage qualifications had been adoped. No discrimination was shown against any race or class of people in Hawalii. Under the b‘i.ll all were treat- 24 we ed with absolute equality. Cullom explained as a particular reason for earlier action upon the pending bill e that the bubonic plague hnr created a serfous situation in Honolulu. Thirty acres of the city were burned by the authorities to prévent the spread of the plague. Bight thousand persons. home- ess and nearly naked, were in quarantine and were being supported by the other citizens of Honolulu.
