MEASURE IS SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT .Needy Inlanders Will Receive Over $U,(H0,0)() In Revenue Alrrnily Collected To Continue lo Hnrc Collection Refunded. WASHINGTON, March 24. After a brief and spirited debate tho houso today took tho last congressional step In completing the Porto Rico relief bill, ngreolng to the conference report by a voto qf 135 to S7. Tho bill turnB over to tho president for tho use of Porto Rico over $2,000,000 of cus tomn receipts collected on Porto Rico goods up to January 1 last, and such amounts as may hereafter accrue until othorwlso pro vided by law. Tho debato lasted hut an hour, hut in this time the wliolo tango of Porto Rico legislation was discussed, Richardson, tho democratic 'loor leader, asked leave to print In tho Record eotno edi torial prcos criticisms on the subject. When Dolllver o Iowa objected, Richardson de clared that this wan most ungracious, to which Dolllver answered that ho doubted tho propriety ot reprinting tho newspapers In tho Record. Payno of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee, denied tho re ports that any rampnlgn fund was involved In tho bill, and denounced as falso the statement that mich reports emanated from members on tho republican sldo of tho chamber. Ha also combated the Idea that tho trusts would be beneficiaries of the pending tariff bill and declared that the two great trusts, sugar and tobacco, would benefit moat by getting their sugar and their tobacco froo of duty. So that, he as sorted, If there was any campaign "boodle" It wtis escorted ngalnBt tho proposition of placing a tariff on goods coming from Porto Rico. Cannon of Illinois closed tho debate In support of tho conference report. Ho de clared that the minority, llko cuttlefish, were trying to muddy tho waters and divert attention from themselves. Rut tho people would recognize tho fact thnt tho minority opposed this practical measuro of relief to tho Porto Rlcans. For half a century the democratic policy had been ono which would havo carried tho governmont to anarchy and destruction. Now that party was pos turing and asking power under false pre tensce. Opposition I.oscit Fourteen VoIch. At 1 o'clock a yea and nay vote was taken on tho report .and It was ngrced to yeas, 135; nays, 37; present and not voting, 20.

McCleary of Minnesota called up the bill appropriating $10,000 to secure plans for a sultablo memorial to Ulysses S. Grant, to be erected in Washington. McCleary paid a glowing tribute to Grant and appealed to members, north and south, to unlto In favor of tho measure The bill was unanimously passed. Resolutions of respect and eulogy of tho lato Representative Epes wore passed, and at 3:05 p. in., as a further mark of respect, tho houso adjourned. Tho appropriation bill was signed by tho president at 4:20 p, m. today. Comptroller Dawes was tho bnly person present when the president nttachod his signature. TARIFF BILL VOTE THURSDAY I'ornker Announce IIIh Intention to Tent Ktreniftli of MeuMtirc'N .Support. WASHINGTON, March 24. For a few minutes In the ncnato today surprise, bor dering almost on consternation in somo quarters, was created by a request of Ftor akcr that tho Porto Rico governmental bill bo recommitted to tho Porto Rico commit tee. Tho requent precipitated n lively col loquy, but It finally was developed that tho bill Foraker wanted recommitted was tho governmental measuro now on tho calendar, and not tho unfinished business. During tho elucidation of his request, however. Foraker plainly Indicated that It was bis purposo to ecparato tho bills and press tho Porto Rico tariff bill to an early vote, his desire being to havo tho vote taken not later than next Thursday. A measuro was passed providing for the. appointment by the president of a commis sion to Investigate tho trado and commerce of the Orlont with a view to the extension of American commerce. Galllnger supported the bill, saying tho pretildcnt had strongly recommended tho pacsago of tho measuro. Germauy had al- ; Saved by S Gooa Food! Read a doctor's words 5 about J Grape-Nuts : 'W Bhort time ago I was called to a pa tient who had been given up by his physi cian. His stomach would not bear food, and, consequently, ho got no nourishment and was nlawy dying from exhaustion. He was reduced io skin and bones. I Immedi ately put him on Grape-Nuts food and Pos turn Cereal Food Coffee Ho could keep both articles, on his. stomacn and neither caused him any pain. Ho has bocn using both the food and tho cereal coffee and has gained so rapidly that I feel ho will be out , of bed In about a week,' I Dr. C. Leutwoln. The reason n delicate stomach can take Grape-Nuts food Is that It Is predlgotted by natural moans during Its preparation, and even n small babe can hnndlp It as It causes no heavy work by tho stomach and dlgpstlvo apparatus', on the contrary, being pro digested, It Is quickly assimilated Into blood and tissue.

He said It was now proposed to send this commlEtilort to China, Japan and other Oriental countries with a view lo ascertaining whether In creased markets cannot bo found there for the products of American farms, mills and workshops. Hoar opposed the appointment of senators or representatives In congress on commis sions or on other similar bodies and after somo discussion the bill was amended so no member of cither branch of congress shall hereafter servo under any appointment mado by tho executive department of the government whllo holding ofllco as BUCh member, Tho bill was passed, AIIIkoii'h Tribute to Morton, Tho closing hours of the session were de voted to the consideration of resolutions accepting from tho stato of Indiana a statue of Oliver P. Morton. Fitting and eloquent tributes wero paid to tho memory of Morton by Fairbanks, Allison nnd Ucvcr Idge. Allison, following Fairbanks, paid a trib ute to Morton, with whom ho had served In tho senate. Ho said It was not only his plcnsurC to servo with Senator Morton, but to know much of him, nnd It nfforded htai special pleasure, after bo many years had passed nnd tho antagonisms of a genera tion ago bad been softened or qulto for gotten, "to address tho senato briefly on tho occasion of tho receipt by tho United Stntcs from the ptatc of Indiana of a statue of this great mnn." Allison paid particular attention to Mor ton's enrcer In tho senate. Ho was ono of tho fow men In tho country's history who, Immediately upon entering tho senate, had becomo tho leader of his party In that cham ber. Referring to Morton's advocacy of tho reconstruction policy, Allison said: "That policy has been severely criticised, but It is not posslblo now to say what would havo happened had tho states which had been In rebellion been readmitted to the union without limitation." In the courso of his rcmnrks Allison ad verted to tho work done by Morton on the financial legislation of his time, particularly tho Impress the Indiana statcEcnan made upon tho resumption net.

Tho money market lo still In an unsettled condition and Is likely to Vcmaln so until tho cud of tho quarter, when dividends and other payments will be made. Tho Hank of England's prompt releaso of tho excess of tho war loan appropriation money enables tho market to llquldato a considerable part of Its Indebt edness. Anticipating easier conditions, blllB to ar Tlvo next week havo been down to 3&, but on Friday tho .tono wan slightly harder; 3 11-16 was tho rato for threo and four months nnd S for six months' bills. During 'tho week tho markot reduced the Indebtedness to bankB $40,000,000.

Governmont securities under tho lead of tho khakl loan displayed exceptional strength. Foreign Btocks Improved, on tho whole, Rraztllans receiving exceptional sup port. South Africans, while moving up ward, are still nlugglsh. The mcst active market has been for Amorlcnn railroads, buying on Thursday coming from all quar tern, sending prices up rapidly. This move ment Is probably duo to tho belief that tho passage of the currency net provision for tho maintenance of the gold standard secures American prosperity for many yearn Tho Statist says on this point: "America during tho recent depression accumulated a great deal of capital and groatly doveloped Industrial resources. This growth In tho country's manufactures and mineral produc tions must havo a permanent beneficial ef fect upon the prosperity of the country."

Mrs. George Law advertloea In every paper and on every wall of the French capital a big roward for tho return of her pet poodle, which has been stolen, together with a fortune In rubles, which tho llttlo beast always carried about Its person when It went promenading with Its mistress. It will bo remembored that six months ago Mrs. George Law, who Is as ccccntrlo as she Is beautiful, created a good-sized sen sation by engaging the best Jewelers to 'fashion Jewels for her dog. Among others was a completo ruby sot sot collar mado of four rottu of largo rubles arranged clcaoly together and maintained by a supplo gold , mounting. For each leg there wns a brace lot of similar design, with smaller stones, i Tho whole decorations, the choicest gems being used, were worth a large fortune. On Wednesday last Mrs. Law wont to Dr. Rykert, a fashionable American dentin, ac companied 'by Romeo, her dog. While Mrs. law's teoth were being examined Ronifo remained In the parlor outside the cabinet. When the dental work was done tho poodle disappeared und the patient began to shriek murder. In her fury she threatened Rykert and his assistants with the guillotine. How. ever, Rykert having guaranteed the hon osty of his staff, tho magistrate considered CLOGGED KIDNEYS.
