Be- fore he left Washington for South Africa the ns between Mr. Davis on ‘the of the Interior nd Commissioner of Pensions | on the other hand were somewhat was rumored at the time d Secretary hand Hitcheock one Evans strained, and it that he had been granted an indefinite leave of absence and would not return to active du in the department. In his capacity as_assistant secretary | it was a part of the duty of Mr. Davis to | review pension decisions, and some of his decisions gave the impression that he was pplicants than | more friendly to pension was the Commissioner of Pensions. Com. ser Evans was subjected to very r ticism from Grand Army men | throughout the country on account of the alleged injustice of some of his rullngs to diers s that had been re- £ Secretary Davis wer substantiating the criticisms. | of Commissioner Evans did not to attribute to Mr. Davis much the unpopularity in which the Com- ioner was held by Grand Army men. s the purpose of Mr. Davis to devote himself to the writing of magazine arti- cles about the situation in South Africa and delivering lectures on the war and on | the Boers. All that he writes and says | will be strongly pro-Boer in its sympa- thies. L R R e e ] tention to him? Bacon—It looks s0. The committee did what | he demanded. | Spooner—The idea that the Congress of ~the | United States can be influenced to do injustice | to the people of Porto Rico, by Mr. Oxnard or | by any protected interest, ls a libei on our in- | stitutions that ought not be uttered here and | ouight not to find lodgment everywhere. I want | to repeat that a large and industrious lobby— and 1 say what I know—is here endeavoring to induce Congress to pass a free-trade bill, | “Bacon—I don't think that any one of that | | lobby has deemed it to his interest to speak | to any Senator on this side of the chamber. | Foraker, in chBrFe of the bill, sald Ox- | nard had appeared before the committee, but since the day of his appearance he (Foraker) had not seen him. | | "In answer to a gquestion by Turley of | Tennessee as to the source whence the | { revenue would be derived under the pend- | | ing bill, Spooner said: I say it comes from the sugar trust and its importers, or from the rich sugar producers on the isiand. In either event It s right. It comes from the right spot and it will go to the right spot. Spooner concluded with an earnest ap- peal for the passage of the measure. Senator Perkins’ Argument. Perkins of California, one of the mem- | bers of the committee which framed and | reported the pending bill, next addressed the Senate In support of the measure. He said Porto Rico had been thrust upon the United States by the war with Spain. Tne customs and beliefs of the people were not those of Anglo-Saxons. They were not Americans and could not become Americans until they had passed through the stages of development whichghad ele- vated the type of citizenship' of the United States. The United States was dealing with questions entirely different from those ever heretofore presented. | Congress was called upon to explain for a people entirely foreign to our institu- tions and a union with us could come only after they had been Americanized. Self-government and self-support, Mr. Perking said in conclusion, were insepar- : able. They never would be qualified for the one without ability for the other. The | proposed tariff would tend to make them | self-supporting anu he believed the pro- | position was as fair as any that had been | ever suggested.

JONES SAYS: BELIEVE that when we ratifled the treaty Porto Rico_and the Philip- pines became a part of the United States and that the constitution im- mediately extended over these new possessions by its own force, and that the people of those islands are enti- tled to the blessings and {mmunities which that instrument gives to our own people. When we became sover- eign in Porto Rico that island was deprived of the freedom of trade with Spain which it had before enjoyed. It is now proposed to deny them stmilar freedom of trade with the United Sttes, thus hemming them in from all markets. The policy is unjust.” § % | kins, Simon of Oregon declared that he should vote against the pending measure. He did not regard it as a party measure, and while he disliked to separate from the joritv on the Republican side of the mber, he felt fully justified In his course. He was assured, he said, that the people of Oregon were entirely In accord with him in opposing the measure. They were, he sald, earnestly In favor of free trade between Porto Rico and the United States, as a matter of good faith. He did not think the enactment of the bill into law would cause the loss of the State to the Republican party, “but if there is any one act passed by this Congress that will ubtful, this is the one.” Simon was proceeding to elaborate what, he sald, had been promised to the people of Porfa Rico, when he was inter- rupted by Mr. Foraker. ‘What single pledge or been made which is nc mon was about to read what General u. promise has to the people of Porto Rico keot in this bill?” | Miles had announced to ghe islanders in his proclamation when Foraker took the woras out of his mouth, so to say, re- king that the pending measure was ctly in line with the proclamation Spooner called attention to the fact that, in any event, even if General Mile: ises had not been kept, his proclamation would in no sense be binding on Congress. Simon took the ground that the propos- ed act was serious party blunder, s well wrong in itself. He maintained that r our flag, t should not be ation. The asser- f our power to levy the proposed tariff was in violation of a tacit, but well rstood, agreement with them, and he . therefore. give it his sypport. rief executfve session the Sen- 5 p. m. adjourned until 11 o’clock to-morrow.

L ‘WASHINGTON, April 2.—A possible re- duction of the war taxes was foreshadow- | ed in a resolution adopted by the House to-ds calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the prob- able surplus that the ‘existing revenue laws would create during this and .the coming fiscal year. The resolution was prese d by Payne, the floor leader of the majority. Richardson of Tennessee asked 1if it covered anything save the internal rev- enue taxation under the war revenue act. Payne replied that it did not. There was no division on the adoption of the resolu- tion, which was as follows: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treas- ury be and is hereby requested to inform the House of Representatives whether, in | opinion, baséd upon such knowledge ent laws for the raising of revenue are creating and will continue to create a surplus in the treasury, over and above the wants of the Government, and if 89, to what extent at the end of the current fiscal year, and a like report as to the fiscal year ending June 30, that he also report to the House bable receipts of the of revenue for the: internal revenue his estimate’ of the p treasury from all sourc years, to wit: Customs, miscellaneous_sources. Resolved, That he also report to the Hou: the amount of internal revenue taxes recelve under the war revenue act of June 13, 1S3, upon articles not theretofore taxed; that said statement be itemized as fas as possible for the year ending June %0, 1599, and for the nine ‘months ending March 31, 1900 Grosvenor of Ohio then introduced the following resolution: Resolvgd, That the Secretary of the Treas- | ury be, and he hereby is, requested to report to the House of Representatives the names of | firms, persons and corporations who from time » time have pald U rticles of every descripti United States fr aly with Spain, w Rico h the articles since the t and amc paid by each and the dates of such payments. | McRae of Arkansas offered an amend- | ment, adding to the resolution the fol- | lowing words: And also, if possible, from whom these im- porters purchased said goods. pt the amend- forced an aye The amendment was ment and the Democrats and no vote upon it lost, 81 to 8, and the r adopted with_division.
