CLOSING HOURS OF PORTO RICAN TARIFF DEBATE Friends and Foes of the Bill Match Oratory in the House. e~ T Argument Embraces All Phases of Expansion, Democrats Protest- ing Against the Holding of the Philippines. —— SHINGTON, Feb. 2I.—The general te on the Porto Rico tariff bill closed in a blaze of glory. The galleries ) the floor was occupled when the rival of the respective sides, Dolli- rguments, Each spoke an hour half. The speech of Bailey, devot- it was almost exclusively to the legal phases of. the controversy, while it was profound and impressive, did not arouse the unbounded enthusiasm which swept the galleries and floors while Dolli- ver was speaking. The Iowan was at his best and his wit, eloquence and sarcasm in turn drew salvos of applause from his Republican associates. Before the closing speeches were made Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the Appropriations Commit- tee and one-of the veterans on the Repub- lican side, made an exceptionally effective speech in support of the bill. Carmarck (D.) of Tennessee, Clayton (D.) of Ala- bama, Kloberg (D.) of Texas, Pearce and De Armond (D.) of Missouri made speeches in opposition to the bill. The Republican managers are now confident that with the modifications reed upon at the conference last night the bill will command a narrow majority in the final vote 10-mOrrow. Clayton of Alabama created much amusement and enthusiasm by reading a letter written b{ Chairman Payne to W. H. Curtis of Palmyra, N, Y., on January 24, 190, in which he advocated free trade with Porto Rico on the ground that it would give relief to "the stricken island. The letter contained the following refer- ence to the Philippines: Under the treaty the Philippine Islan to have free trade with Spain for ten We could not extend these tariff laws to the Philippine Islands, even if we would Clayton asked that this letter and an extract from Mr. Payne's speech in sup- port of the bill be printed in parallel col- umns in the record. Payne smilingly as- sented to the request, and expressed the hope that there would be no objection. Peary of Tenngssee declared that the brood of trusts had flocked to Washing- ton and had compelled the leaders of the Republican party to turn their backs upon Porte Rico. He asked if the people of ‘that island were not entitied to as much consideration as the Sultan of Sulu, who was granted free trade with all the Philippine Islands. Philippine Policy Denounced. De Armond of Missouri said this bill pro- et aside the constitution not for of doing something philan- n the Interest of the partial of a helpless 1 purps pic, but i complete enslavement e his change of front,” he declared, s been brought about by the influ- ence of the agents of mighty corpora- He said the administration had deter- mined blindly and greedily to hold the Philippines_for what could be made out of them. It mattered littie about Porto Rico. The Porto Ricans were to be cruci- in order that the cross might be raised in the Philippines. We could with- draw from the archipelago and leave 10,000,000 tropical people to work out their own salvation. “In my opinion,” said he, “that is what we_ought to do.” He thought the time was coming when there would be a revulsion in the Repub- lican party, when the Republicans who now had the backbone to oppose the pres- ent programme would be hailed as the ors of their party. annon of Ilinois followed De Armond. He scouted the cry that had been ralsed that the trusts had dictated the bill. He charged that both the tobacco and sugar stored in Porto Rico was already owned by the sugar and tobacco trusts. They had put forward some natives as stool pigeons to beg for free trade, so that while the Democrats cried out against the trusts they would be voting for them. “Their voice would be the voice of Jacob, but their hand wouid be the hand of Esau Bailey of Texas made an exhaustive argument against the constitutionality of the bill* arousing the lawyers on the other side so that for a time he was al- most _continuously engaged in crossing swords with one or the other of his ad- versaries. Dolliver Closes the Debate. Dolliver of Iowa closed the debate for the majority. Said he: This bill is"merely a temporary measure to provide revemuie for Porto Rico. Yet it has been magnified in this debate until it has been |'made to mciude the whole problem of the gov- | ernment of all territory acquired by us by the | treaty of Paris It was declared that this bill was in behalf of the sugar trust, when the fact declared - Dolliver, that the trust wanted fpee trade. The-same was He continued: If the constitution of the United States es- tablishes free trafle between Manila and San Francisco, as it undoubtedly does between Maryland and Virginia, then the fact that we, have got into a new competition is only the least trouble that has been before us. We are in that case disarmed at once in the momentous, demand which this pation has made for equal rights in the commerce of Asla. I violate no seeret of this Government when I say ti day there is pending in the State Department the most elaborate commercial negotiation ever attempted in the history of our diplomacy, based on a pledge made by our commissioners at Paris that whatever we did in the Pacific Ocean we wculd maintain an open door for the commerce of the world.

One is that the nation should take care of it- | self, and lét the world alone. That is a nar- row view of our national duty.

The hig pavilion was handsomely deco- |ficent art collection given to the people by rated in rea and white, red hearts and ribbons being artistically white background. Numerous lights of the same colors added a plea: ing hue and hundreds of dancers in var colored bright costumes made the ensem ble brilliant in aspect. About 3000 people were present, includ- ing the delegations from Burlingame and San Fraacisco. In the grand march about 400 couples participated, headed by prince and princess, who were represented by Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Jury. Following came H. G.

The pageant was headed by a force impersonating policemen, and it included rich costumes of every de- sign. The roval personages were escort- ed to the platform, when the chancellor welcomed ‘he prince and princess and the prince in turn welcomed th: people.

STORM OF CONFETTI ON PARIS STREETS PARIS, Feb. 21.—A drenching rain and a leaden sky this afternoon threatened to make the fate of Mardl Gras a complete failure, so far as Paris is concerned. Nevertheless a good number of people gathered along the boulevards, where con. fettl tables were allowed, and, splashing through mud ana rain, exchanged volleys of these fatal missiles. As evening ap- proached, however, the rain ceased. Crowds flocked to the Avenue des Champs stores were closed, and soon the trad! tional gayety of the Parisian asserted it- self and King Carnival reigned supreme. From one end of Paris to the other the alr clally in front of the cafes, from which col was filled with clouds of confettl, espe- ored serpentines were thrown in returi. A living sea of merrymakers thronged the principal thoroughfares, and the side- walks and roadways were inches deep with confetti, as though Paris had passed | through a variegated snowstorm. NEWS OF THE WAR I SOUTH AFRICA Continued from First Page. “BRAVO, BOBS,” AND ““MAJUBA” ARE THE CRIES LONDON, Feb. 2. Majuba Avenged,” “Cronje Surrenders,” “Great British Vie- tory.” These are the expressions shout- ed to-day. The capitulation of General Cronje had been looked upon as almost a certainty for a week past and now that it has come enthusiasm finds itself discount- ed by the anticipation. The magnitude of the success of “Lit- tle Bobs™ is almost overlooked in the fact that it synchronized with the anniversary of Majuba Hill and wiped out a dishonor of nineteen years' standing. While the afternoon papers all comment upon this happy coincidence, they do not forget the splendid bravery of the enemy. The St. James Gazette says: “The splendid courage of the Boers has not been able to withstand any longer the bombardment which few modern soldiers have supported for as many hours as they ‘have days. The Influence of the surrender, not only upon the situation at Ladysmith, but on the whole conduct of the war, will be immense. If the news of Ladysmith only reaches d, and It is quite possible this may Engla | be the case, the cup of national happiness would be full.” The Globe, under the heading of ‘“Ma- juba Avenged,” says: : “We shall not jump at the conclusion that the war is over, but that a vietory has been gained which brings the end well in sight. General Cronje no doubt succeeded In delaying Lord Roberts’ en- trance into Bloemfontein, but the deiay is all" he has been able to accomplish.” The Westminster Gazette, which is in- clined to be pro-Boer, says: “Admiration for the desperate valor of General Cronje is mingled with anger at the necessity imposed upon us of purchas- ing victory at this cost. Let us remember Paardeberg if we like, but forget Majuba and have done with the whole train of misleading assoclations and mischievous ideas which gathered around that un- happy memory.” No one who did not know of General Cronje’s surrender would suspect from the appearance of the town that London was to-day celebrating the chief victory of the war. Not a flag is flying and in front of the places where bulletins are displayed to the public scarcely more than a dozen people stop at a time to read the news. Outside of the War Office there is the same absence of enthusiasm, which is due doubtless to the drizzling rain. In the War Office lobbles, when a clerk posted the news of the surrender quite a crowd was waiting, and here the tidings were halled with considerable enthusiasm, and in an incredibly short space of time the news had spread to all parts of Lon- don. At the Mansion House when the news was posted It was recefved with great excitement by the crowds of busi- ness men hurrying to their offices, and cries of “Bravo, Roberts!” and “Majuba were heard. The Lord Mayor of London said to the correspondent of the Assoclated Press that while the surrender of General Cronje was a foregone conclusion, the news was recelved with a great sense of relief, and the result of the capitulation | he thought would be the rapld conclusion of hostilities. At the Stock Exchange there was much excitement and cheering, but this quickly subsided when the house opened. Stocks opened with an upward tendency, but no material improvement in prices and con- sols strangely were slightly weaker. The news of General Cronje’s surrender was recelved with unbounded satisfaction at Windsor. The. Queen immediately tei- egraphed her congratulations to Lord Roberts and the troops. There was a much more outward dis- play of rejoicing in the provinces than in London. The Glasgow and Liverpool Stock Exchanges were greatly exci‘ed. The members sang “God Save the Queen’ repeatedly and cheered for “Little Bobs.” Flags were liberally displayed on the municipal and house buildings in all the large towns. ‘Windsor was very jubilant at the news, ‘which the Queen disseminated immediate- ly after it reached her, and the inhabi- tants selzed the occasion of Her Majeaty driving through the town on her way to take a train for a visit to the wounded | South African soldlers at the Netley Hos- | pital to give vent to their delight. The Queen, who was looking remarka- bly well, showeéd evident signs of deep satisfaction, smiling and continually bow- Ing in response to the congratulatury cheers greeting her on all sides. Majesty took quantities of flowers to dis- tribute to the wounded. All the garrison towns and naval norts received the news with the livellest satis- faction, soldiers and saflors vying with each other in displays of delight. Immense crowds awaited the Queen at Netley and cheered themselves hoarse. The village was gayly decorated with flags | and Her Majesty’'s reception on the hos- pital grounds presented a scene of enthu- siasm, the brilllant and bright uniforms adding color to the surroundings. The soverelgn was visibly affected as she made a tour of the.wards and spoke in the most kindly terms to a number of the wounded. ROBERTS READY FOR ANOTHER IMPORTANT MOVE LONDON, Feb. 28.—Spencer Wilkinson, reviewing the military situation In the light of General Cronje’s capitulation, says this morning: “On a moderate estimate one-tenth of the Boer army has been taken out of ac- count by the captur2 of Cronje. The bat- tle of Paardeberg is a miniature Sedan. “To-morrow the whole of Lord Rob- erts’ army, say 45,000 men, will be ready for a fresh advance, if, indeed, the start be not made to-day. The objective must be the next Boer army of importance, which is in Natal. The next move, there- fore, with a view of drawing the Boer army from Natal, implies an advance on Bloemfontein, or some point on the rail- way between Bloemfont2in and Wine- berg, which would sever the connection between the Boers in Natal and those south of the Orange River. “It the Boers make a stand west of Bloemfontein, so much the better. With 45,00 men Lord Roberts may well be able to”envelop and destroy a respectable force there. ““The. effect of the Paardeberg victory will probably be a movement northward of the Boer forces south of -Orange River. In Natal the effect will be moral rather than strategical. The effect of elation on the one side and of depression on the other will be equal for the mo- ment to the addition of a brigade to Gen- eral Buller's forces. The Boers in Natal have to face a crisis. If they send troops to .the Free State they will sacrifice the whole result of the long campalgn befora smith. Not to send them will be to render probable a second and still more important victory by Lord Roberts a few days hence.” COST OF ONE VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK LONDON, Feb. 21.—The War Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: “PAARDEBERG, Feb. 21.—In a very successful attack made by the Royal Canadian contingent on one of the ene- my's trenches this mormng Major Pelle- mier was wounded, eight men werg killed and twenty-nine were wounded.

New York addressed the Senate to-day on the Philippine question. His speech was beautiful in thought and diction. He strongly upheld the policy of the admin- istration .and in conclusion pictured so brilliantly commerce and civilization moving hand In hand for the happiness and for the uplifting of the people of the Philippines, as well as those of this coun- try, that the galleries were swept by a storm of applause. No one denied, sald Depew, that the na- tives of the Philippine Islands had been used to help conquer the Spanish, but he denied that any treaty had been made with them. Said he: Only thé President of the United States could bind the country and he only with the subsequent assent of the Senate.

Regarding the plea that the “consent of the governed” is necessary, he said: The government which was organized for the Territory .of Loulsiana had every element which has been denounced as déspotism in the Philippines. It has been repeatedly said here that govern- ment by the United States in these Islands will | be a despotism. Such a belief shows a singular | ignorance or misapprehension of the constitu- | tlonal limitations upon our powers and the | | Rickerts of the Montana | Court, T. C. spirit of our institutions. While the consti- tution does not extend over the territories of its own force and without legislation, its pro- hibitions are binding on Congress. 'In- those prohibitions, which are also privileges enjoyed by the people” wherever our jurisdiction ex- tends, Is a complete charter of rights, which Congress can neither limit nor impair. All per- sonal privileges and immunities, such as reli- glous freedom, property rights, freedom of speech and freedom of the press and equalily before the law, must: prevail wherever our flag floats. But outside of the constitution and laws is an unwritten law, created by the genfus of the institutfons df the paramount power, and controlling its acts and officials in all colonial governments, Following Depew, Turley of Tennessee resumed his speech, begun yesterday, against the seating of Quay of Pennsyl vania.

Consideration of the Hawaii govern- | ment bill was then resumed. The contract | labor question was_precipitated again by Pettli!‘ew, who offered an amendemnt providing 'that all contracts for labor en- | tered into-since August 12, 1898, should be | declared null and void. In’a speech sup- | porting the amendment Pettigrew assert- | ed that since the annexation of Hawall thousand contract laborers had | been imported to Hawall, their contracts | extending over periods of from three to | ten years. In response to Asiat’* contract uestions as to whether | aborers displaced local | laborers, Pettigrew replied that to some | extent they did. He went on to say that the coffee lands, of which we have heard 80 much, practically had been changed into sugar plantations, the lands as such | being immensely productive. These sugar | lantations were controlled by vast sugar nterests, which during the past year had | been paid by this Government in remitted duties $12,000,000. These great interests | ‘would control the Legislature of Hawail and, consequently, he wanted such an | amendment to the bill as would meet every contingency.

WITH MONEY N THE BANK Heavy Deposits Made Dur- ing the Clark Senatorial Campaign. Supporters of the Democratic Million- aire Waxed Opulent Suddenly During Their Stay in Helena. Pl AL WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The proceed- ings of the Senate Comittee on Privileges and Elections in the case of Senator Clark of Montana to-day dealt with the bank accounts of some of the members of the Montana Legislature. One of these ac- counts was that of Representative Stephen Bywater of Flathead .County, who deposited $15,000 in the Bank ofeMon- tana at Helena on March 3 last after the adjournment of the Legislature. By- water was called to the stand. He sald that he had brought $000 of this sum to Helena and kept it In his trunk all winter, while $3000 had been received from his brother as purchase money on & sale of mining stocks. He declared that he had not received any pay for his vote for Clark for the Senate, but sald White- side had told him that he could get $5000 for supporting Clark. Other witnesses of the day were Clerk B{no Supreme . Kurtz of the Montana Na- tional Bank, both new witnesses, and At- torney General Nolan,Whiteside and D. G. Peller were recalled. General Nolan Recalled. Nolan sald he had given small sums of money to persons who had gone over tha State in search of te-umtgygg in this case. The money had been suj by Camp- bell. He had procured from Camp- bell as a 1m from Daly for the editor of an agricultural newspaper in Helena. Another item charged to him was which had been advanced to pay the e: enses of witnes: in the Wellcome dis- arment proceedings. This' money. had been received from Campbell and most of it advanced to the State Treasurer to se- oure him for the gnymem of these ex- penses. Nolan said that he had advised the State Treasurer to pay these ex- penses upon the assurance that the ex- penditure would be made good. Among others to whom Nolan’s ac- count showed he had pald expense money for collecting evidence in the disbarment case was the clerk of the State Supreme Court. Foster seized upon this fact to put | the witness through a sharp cross-exam- | ination to show that this official was transcending his official dutles, the case bel; before the court of which he was an official. Nolan said that the clerk had gone to several points to Investigate evidence. He had paid him $35 purely for expenses and not as an addition to his salflrg< T. C. Kurtz, cashier of the Montant N: Helena, was called to t stand fo give testimony concerning the | bank_deposits made by members of the last Legislature, from August, 1898, to September, 188. He brought the accounts All of them were referred to a sub-committee for examina- tion. Whiteside, the first witness of the case. and who in some respects may be cocn- sidered the prosecuting witness, was re- called for rebuttal purposea. In reply to questions, Whiteside said that he had pald his own ‘expenses in this investigation amuuntmi to about $2000, and that he ha received but $50 from any other source. Campbell had loaned him that amouat. Some Big Bank Deposits. The sub-committee on the accounts in Kurtz and Peller’'s hands, having com- pleted its work, reported that certain of the documents should be examined. These gentlemen were then recalled, and the ac- counts put in. All of them related to members of the Legislature, and wers as follows: By Mr. Kurtz: Stephen Bywater, $15,000, deposited March 3, 1899, E. C. Day, 35000, deposited March 3, 1899, Michael Shovlin, $3500, deposited March 20, 899, 1 L. C. Parker, two certificates of deposit, $1000 each, February, 1599 W. E. Tierney, certificat May, 1899, By Mr. Peller: aggregating $3 States Treasury. J. H. Geiger, various memoranda, after April 12, including a certificate’ of de- Dposit, May 13, 1899 Kurtz explained that the Tierney de- posit_was connected with the opening of the State Bank of Townsend, and that the money had been collected from vari- ous quarters. Representative Stephen Bywater of Flathead County, being called, said that he had deposited the $§15,000 shown by the the ‘accounts of the Bank of Montana as exhibited by Cashier Kurtz. He said that he had brought $6000 in currency with him when he came to Helena and -had kepy'it fn his trunk during the sixty days pre- ceding.
