THE PORTO RICO TARIFF.
Minority Report of Ways and Means
Committee Favors Free Trade.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. The ways
and means committer of the house of
representatives reported on the Porto
Ricb tariff bill today.
The minority report Is signed by all
the democratic members of the ways
and means committee and R presenta
tlvc Newlands, the sliver member. It
says in part:
"The undersigned members of the
committee are unable to agree with the
conclusions of the committee in respect
to the bill reported to regulate the
trade of Porto Rico and for other pur
poses ana respeciiuuy suDn.it our
views as follows:
''The bill raises two questions which
must be considered and determined.
1. The right or power under our
written constitution to enact the meas
ure. "2. Whether, if we have the power,
should congress exercise it in the man
ner provided in the bill?
"The bill iin framed upon the idea
and the asumptlon that congress has
entered upon ttie government of Porto
Rico unrestrained by the provisions of
the constitution."
The report then takes up the const!

h.is universal applications to territory

"This braneh of tne subject has pre
viously been c-ivered as a special re
port J'roceod'ns the report says:
"If the position taken by the major
ity of the committee in recommending
the passage of the bill be the correct
one and congress has the power to gov
ern territory of the L'nlted States, In
dependent of the limitations of the con
stitution, It must follow that congress
is not restrained by this instrument
from passing laws imposing customs
duties on the mliu-rals and ore of the
territories of Arizona and Mexico; the
turs and fish of Alaska, the lumber of
Oklahoma and of all other products "f
tluse territories when imported Into
any of the mates of the union and also
upon all products of any kind into the
territories from the states or any one
of tbem. The ower to pass such law
was never be'ori claimed In 0;r land.
"It is wholly Inconsistent with the
theory and form of our government.
"The exercise of such power is pure
end simple imperialism and against It
we enter our most solemn protest. We
never have held and cannot hold ter
ritory as a political dependency and
subject to unequal taxation.
"Our union is cue of states with

rests alike upon our people, w hether
In the thirteen original states or In th"

matter in which form territory Is ac
quired, it is to be held under our con
stitution with the object of finally be

In support of this doctrine the decis

and in harmony with the doctrine here
in enunciated." I
After calling attention to the presi
dent's recent recommendation for the
abolishment of all customs duties be
tween Porto flico and the United States
and the report of the i-ecretary of war
to the same effect, the report concludes
as follows:
"We do not know why these sudden
changes have occurred. We cannot be
lieve that the president has been con
verted from the opinion he so lately
expressed or that he now admits the
unwisdom of the solemn advice he so
recently .save to congress. We are not
advised that his opinion was hastily
formed and that he had not maturely
consideied the subject upon which he
was advising us.
"We do not believe the people of this
land ardently attached as they are to
our free Institutions can be brought
to favor a policy which oppresses the
inhabitants of the territory owned by
the United States anywhere and
over which the flag of the repub
lic floats, even If such a policy
should serve In a dfgree to enrich some
of the citizens of the I'nited States.
We protest earnestly against the adop

GOVKHNMENT FOK ALASKA.
Delegation at Washington Urging Cer
tain Changes Before the Gold Rush.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
A largs delegation from Alaska is
here urging congress to enact some leg
islation under which a government
may be organized In that territory as
soon as the rush to the gold fields be
gins in the spring.
Among the delegates are Governor
John G. Brady; W. L. Distln, surveyor
general: Wm. A. Kelley, supervisor of
the census; John M. Kice, who was ap
pointed a delegate by a mass conven
tion of miners; Richard E. Lewis, a
business man of Juneau; Mr. Wash
burn, manager of the Alaska Commer
cial Company; Louis Sloss, Jr., a busi
ness man from Skaway, and Father
Barnum, a Roman Catholic missionary
who spent many years In Alaska, but
who is now librarian of the George
town university.
These men make requests for legisla
tion that they claim is atsolutely nec
essary for the protection of the people
and th'? preservation of the peace.
They ask for the establishment of
eourtH at St. Mi hael or Cape Nome,
at Eagle City and at Juneau or Skag
way. There is now only one court In
the territory and the people are com
pelled to go 1030 miles and often a
longer distance and to remain away
from their homes several months and
sometimes a year, when they are In
terested in litigation or are summoned
as witnesses.
The delegation from Alaska asks for
other legislation, particularly authority
to organise municipal governments
which cannot be done under the pres
ent statutes. Towns of 1,500 and 2.000
people already exist by suffrance and
they are voverned by official elected
without the authority of the law. There
are no county, township or municipal
organizations In Alaska, no school dis
tricts, no police, no tire d. pat tments,
no power to make roads or streets or to
enforce order or sanitary conditions ex
cept by common consent, and whore
money is needed for these purposes It
is raised by subscription. Ueroro June
1. it is exacted that the town of I u pe
Nome will contain 2000 InhaMuiMs
and It Is scarcely possible that so large
a community can be governed without
law or formal authority.
Already the sanitary conditions are
said to be dreadful. Before the last
boat left there was an epidemic of ty
phoid fever, and there Is no telling how
far it has extended. There Is no sewer
age, no method of' disposing of gar
bage and offal and the water Is bad
naturally. Most of the supply used for
drinking and cooking Is taken from a
river which Hows through at least two
mining camps and receives nearly all
their fl'.th and refuse. If the bubonic
plague which has already reached the
Hawaiian Islands should be communi
cated to Cape Nome, the situation
would be desperate and thousands of
lives would pay the penalty of neglect.
The delegation also asks appropria
tions for the construction of roads, for
the support of schools, postolnYes. mall
service, prisons and for other pur
poses. The United States government
now collects a revenue from $.T000 to
JiOO.OCO a year by taxation which goes
into the treasury at Washington and
not more than half of It Is expended
for the benefit of the people who pay
these taxes.
Not a dollar of the taxes collected
in Alaska can be expended for any
purpose without an exact and specific
appropriation by the members of con
press, of whom 95 per cent have never
been within 5,000 miles of the territory
and most of whom have only a vague
idea of the conditions existing there.
BRYAN AGAIN TALKS.
Answers a Speaktr at a Social Func
tion Who Praises the Philip
pine P licy.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8.-During the
banquet of the Society of the Genesee
at Sherry's last night, Mr. Bryan and
hid party entered the hall while Oscar
F. Williams, ex-consul at Manila, was
speaking cu affairs in the Philippines.
Mr. W illiams defended the Pi illpplne
policy of General Otis and President
McKlnley and closed with an appeal to
continue President McKlnley at the
helm of state, asurlng his hearers that
such a helmsman would bring the ship
to port safe and secure.
There were loud cries for a speech
from Mr. Bryan and he finally rose
and thanked those asembled for the
hearty reception. He said:
"With some of the things that the
speaker has Just said I heartily agree.
When hs spoke of governing with the
consent of the people and by the peo
ple and for the people, and I agree
with him with all my heart. But if
he means that the people of the Phil
ippines are to be taxed without repre
sentation, then I don't agree with him.
I have my own ideas of the destinies of
this country, of what government Of
the people, for the people and by the
I eople means. Republicanism rests up
on the consent of the people. I don't
believe God ever created one nation to
cross the seas to seize and govern an
other. I agree with the speaker that
we ought to plant the seeds of our form
of government in all parti of the
world. But I cannot see why we ought
to do It with cannon, nor why we should
It isn't much tiouble
for really healthy man
to be good humored.
Jollity and exhuberant health are s pro
verbial combination. The hearty man wh
is always laughing doesn't have any trouble
with hn digestion. It has been said thai
laughing makes people healthy. The tint
is that health makes people laugh.
It is impossible to estimate the tre
mendous influence of health upon tinman
character. A man with a headache will
not be in a happy, contented frame of
mind. A man who suffers from a weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared. A bilious man who is not
bore, is deserving of a place in museum.
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault-finding is a curiosity. All these con
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as well. A wise wife will real
ize that while the old saying that a " man's
heart is in bis stomach," is not literally
true, it is a fact that his stomach sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of medicines
for the conditions described. It makes
the weak stomach 9trong, the impaired
digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
the nerves. It tears down half-dead, inert
tissues and replaces them with the firm
muscular tissues of health. It builds new
and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells.
It dissipates nervousness and melancholy
tnd imparts mental elasticity and courage.
It is the best of all known medicines for
nervous disorders.

NEW EXPLOSIVE EXPEltlM KNT8.
Navy repurtm m Will Adopt a Shell
More lnweiful Than Lyddite.
NEW YORK. Feb. .-A speelnl to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Tomorrow the ordnance expert of
the navy will make nn experiment
which n.ay revolutionise armored ship
construction and leverse the present
ascendancy of armor over projectll
which has resulted from tho Incessant
competition between the gun und the
protective armor of the iinvien nf the
world. " ' " 1
At the Indian Head proving ground
an 8-Inch plate has been set up tinier
conditions resembling a nearly ns pos
sible an actual ship section with Its
protective deck and flooring behind the
urnior. This structure Is to be nt-J
tacked b a semi-armor piercing shell1
from a 10-Inch rifle with a charge'
which will perforate the plate.
The sh' II Is to carry it small charge
of the powerful new American explosive I
thorite, made from the formula of I.)r.
Tuttle, of the state of Washington. 1
whose compound, If the rlulms for It
properties are sustained, will be ot In-'
calculable effect on the conduct of war. 1
The army made some experiment,
with thorite at Sandy Hook without
cental lorn. I results but naval officer
who have had some experience with the 1
terrible stuff are extremely curious re
garding its tremendous possibilities.
Thy have found It so In-rl that a re I
hot poker can be thrust Into a mass
of It ani It may be hammered to pieces
without '.xploding. It detonates, how
ever, with the greatest ease by fuse
ard tinder such circumstances It Is as
destructive as nltro glycerine.
If a reasonable amount of such an
explosive could be projected through
heavy armor plate and made to destroy
the confined Interior of a ship, It far
reaching effect would be Inestimable
in navul practice. The Inventor of
thorite say that this can be reudlly
accomplished, and to dmmstrate
whether It I feasible or not, the ord
nance experts hav prepared for the
new experiment.
They have selected a shell which
they are satisfied can be made to pierce
eight Inches of harveylzed plate and
Dr. Tuttle undertake to explode
enough thorite In the shell after It
passts through the plate to destroy the
protective deck, flooring and other ma
terial representing the citadel of the
ship. Naval experts have not a y.t
Deen able to find any powerful sub
stance that would not be exploded oy

FRENCH RECIPROCITY.
Strong Fight for the Ratification of the
Treaty.
NEW YORK, Feb. . A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The fight for the ratification of the
French reciprocity treaty has been re
sumed with vigor and with such re
cently acquired support that th
friendl of that Instrument now believe
success Is certain. Ambassador Cam-
bon hag brought back the Information
of the earnest desire of the French
government for the ratification of the
treaty and ha urgad the state depart
ment to take effective steps to scenre
favorable action by the senate.
Mr. Casson I preparing to refute the
assertion that France ha declined to
reduce the duties of article other than
luzurles. He point out that France
is the largest consumer of cotton seed
oil, and this . fact alone, he believes,
ought to bring to the treaty the sup
port of southern senator In whose sec
tion the production of cotton seed oil
is an Industry of great proportions. It
Is understood that the administration
realized the mistake it ha made In
keeping everything connected with this
treaty secret and denying even to the
member of the finance committee ac
cess to the data and correspondence
upon which the treaty Is based. Mr,
Casson will, it Is understood, change
till policy and give more publicity to
hi argument for the treaty.
The treaty provide for material re-
