"Tho president's rccoiiiiriendjtlon of free
trado was mado In order that I'orto means
might havo tho ufc of thcHO duties In I'orto
atlco, by not having to pay them that Is,
by keeping tho money for public purposes
In tho Island. The proportion of tho house
of representatives and of this committee. Is
that thoso duties shall be collected und re
turned to tho people of I'orto Itlco. because
It is the only way by which the people of
the Inland will get u dollar of benefit from
them. Now, from whom will they bo col
lected? In the last twenty-five years nugar
has fluctuated as much as any other product
In tho market; coffee has been subject to
tho opening of new sources of supply, to
failures of crops, and to all of those ele
montH which add or take away from 25 to 50
por cent of tho market price. Hut while
coffco and sugar Importers have grown rich
nnd by their skill, their capital and their
far-sightedness been able always to calcu
late futuro prospects and to make money, no
matter what the conditions, tho laborer upon
tho plantations who produced these crops has
never known any dlffercnco In his wage.
Unhappily for him, tho labor market was
always overstocked; unhappily for him, there
was no Industry but tho land to which ho
or his family could apply for help. Ho
was "tho man with tho hoe." meeting all
tho conditions of Dr. Markham's remarkable
poem. Ho was too Ignorant to know when
good times were making fortune for those
-who handlo the product which ho ra!s-il
by his labor; he was too poverty stricken
to subsist In an organized effort to Increase
the remuneration for his toll. It will bo
many a year beforo theso conditions chango
for tho manses of tho I'orto Hlcan people.
They can never change when an overcrowded
population has but one means of livelihood
and thoro arc no varied Industries for Its
relief.
"Then who pays this tariff and who gets
the benefit of It? For tho first tlmo In the
history of I'orto Itlco It Is paid by those who
makp money out of her. by those who are
enriched by her toll, by those who are far
removed from tho ignorance and tho suffer
ing and tho squalor of her population. Tho
tariff -.monoy-taken' frj)n themj goes really
itotho people of TortoRIco who never be-1
.fo'ro received any bcnelli,"

WASHINGTON. April 2. Webstor Davis,
assistant secretary of tho Interior, today
tendered his resignation, lid will go en
the lecturo platform In the Interest of the
Uocrs.
In an authorized statement given out to
day Mr. Davis says that as a result of his
visit to tho Transvaal ho feels Impelled to
tender his rcslguatlon ns assistant secre
tary of tho Interior. Ho will at an early
dato deliver n lecturo in this city In the
Interest of the South African republics.
Mr. Davis feels that this Is the best way
to arouso tho enthusiasm of the American
people In behalf of those republics.
Mr. Davis decided to resign becauRo of
tho acceptance of nil Invitation to deliver
a lecturo on tho South African war and ho
felt that as an olllclal he could not express
his views with such freedom as he could as
n private citizen. Tho Invitation was ex
tended by nonpartisan citizens of Washing
ton and wns not Inspired In any way by
persons directly connected with Doer Inter
ests. Mr. Davis said today: "It Is purely a
matter of sympathy on my part. I went
to South Africa unprejudiced, visited both
armies, saw much of tho British soldiers
and people and also much of tho Uocrs.
After seeing what 1 did I made up my mind
that tho cause of tho Uocrs was Just, that
.the two smallest republics In tho world
were struggling against tho greatest empire
In the world for homo, Justice and Inde
pendence The struggle seemed to me very
unequal. Tho whole number of Uocrs Includ
I concluded at once that my sympathies
were with those struggling for liberty nnd
I feel that tho American people should sym
pathize with them In their light for Justice
and Independence.
Their I. list llnniest Hlin.
"When I entered tho train nt Pretoria on
my return homo fully 2,000 men and women,
mostly women whoso husbands and fathers
nd snna wero at the front, gathered nt tho
.station to bid mo good-b, and as the tears
rollod down many or meir laces nicy uwuu
tho last request of mo that-1 do everything
Avlthln my power upon my return home to
let tho American people know of their exact
condition; to let them know how they had
been abused and outrageously misrepre
sented by tho English. The English corre-
Knondeuts have no trouble In getting their
dispatches over tho coblo lines, as they ar3
controlled absolutely by tho British, while
it impossible for Information regarding
,he situation from tho Boars' standpoint to
reach tho American people.
"If I did not as a free American decide
to listen to their appeals my con
science would burn and the faces
of those suffering people, as brave and
as noble as God over let live in any land,
wmdd haunt mo as long as I live. I am
thcrofore determined to do everything In my
humble way to assist them. Their cause Is
just and In God Is their tmst. and In tho
light of the pnBt history or toe Amcnpan
people, who went through the same struggle,
I believe the Doers will win."
Mr. Davis was asked what course he would
havo tho people of this country pursue la
order to assist the Boers, Ho replied:
Sncli nn I'tilioly War Slionlil Stop.
"r' anything and everything within their
power and let Great Britain and tho world
1(,low thru tho sympathies of the American
pcop'o aro not witn t.reat uritain, nut witn
tho Roars, nnd In the Interests of humanlt
an1 civilization. Wo should lot the -world
know that such an unholy war should stop
""' st t once.'
Mr- Dav'8 al"t' his return to this country
hll bad numerous invitations to deliver lcc-
tures, but lies so far decided to accept only
that extended by tho citizens of Washing
ton. This lecturo probably will be delivered
next Sunday night.
x,r' Davis denied that ho brought with
JJilm a communication to this government.
rrom lTcsiucnt Kruger. He admitted, how
ever, that ho had hail several conferoners
with President McKlnley. but declined to
mnko public what had passed between thoni.
When anked as to whether ho would go on
the stump during this campaign In the Inter
est of tho republican party Mr. Davis said
ho did not care to look into tho future and
that all ho had within sight at present was
his locttire In Washington. Ho had no crltl-
clsms to make In regard to tho administra-
" auuuue concerning tho war In Africa
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock said
today that tho announcement of Mr. Davis
Intention to resign was a complete surprise
to him. Ho had expected that Mr. Davis
would resume his duties, although h had
not seen nor beard anything of him since his
return until today, when ho was Informed
that ho was to resign. It was said at the
Interior department that the best of feeling i
prevailed between Mr. Davis and the other
afllclals.
Davis' formal resignation was sent to the
While Houso later through his prlvato
secretary. At tho White House no state
ment was obtainable concerning the resigna
tion, other than the fact that It had been
received, and tho ofllclals declined to say
whether It would be accepted.

CHICAGO, April 2. Dr. W. C. Gray, edi
tor of the Interior, today presented to tho
annual meeting of tho Chicago Presbytery
the matter of the resignation from Hint body
of Hev. N. D. Hlllls of Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, the outcome of criticisms of Dr.
Hlllls" recent denunciations of certain Proj
byterlnn doctrines.
Nearly every Presbyterian minister of Chi
cago wns present when tho venerable min
ister read tho letter and the closest atten
tion was paid to Its reading. Dr. Hlllls'
letter was quite lengthy nnd wont fully Into
tho recent questions of Presbyterian dm--trine
raised by him In his sermon nt Ply
mouth church.
After presenting his withdrawal from tho
Presbytery of Chicago and asking to be do
mltted from tho Presbyterian church. Dr.
Hlllls went Into tho reasons which led hlr.i
to tako such slops. The letter continued:
"I had Intended to ask to be transferred
t tho Congregational denomination, but on
account of my admiration and appreciation
of tho work of Dr. Abbott and Henry Ward
Ileechcr. neither of whom were alllllatod
with any denominational organization, I
havo postponed such action."
Dr. Hlllls said since his sermon last Sun
day had so deeply disturbed hl brethren of
tho church, which ho so much regretted, ho
eonsldored It Incumbent upon hlmsolf to re
sign. Ho regretted his former Instructors
considered him ungrateful, for Ingratitude
was a sin, Indeed. For years, however, In
common with other ministers, ho had been
apologizing for tho Presbyterian faith.
"What shall ho said or a creed," Dr.
Hlllls' letter continued, "that Is accepted by
our clerical Instructors one day and rejected
the next? Somo have said that I am drifting
away from tho Christian faith and becoming

Nevertheless the exact opposite Is the truth.
For years I have urged revision of our eruel
creed nnd the preparation of a new one.
And now 1 can do nothing else than with
draw. I fe"l that tho church Is approaching
a great crisis. While we have been dis
cussing personal doctrines great Institutions
have been questioning a personal God. I'n
less our churches present n solid front our
Christian civilization will bo overwhelmed
by tho forces of Mammon nnd greed."
At the conclusion of the rending of Dr.
Hlllls letter It was referred to u committee
to make such answer as may bo deemed wise
nnd to recommend the action to be taken
by the presbytery. The committee will re
port lato this Afternoon.
Several ministers expressed their Inten
tion of opposing the acceptance of Dr.
Hlllls' resignation and a warm debate Is ex
pected when the mnttcr is brought up.
STRIKE BEGINS IN NEW YORK
Not Vet AnNiinieil (Irrnt Proportion
nnd .Men Arc I'orfoetl
Orderly.
NEW YORK. April '-'.-The strike of tho
building trades and a fow other trades went i
Into effect In Now York and vicinity today.
It has not yet as assumed great proportions
nnd tho men out, nrn perfectly orderly, in
New York early today groitw of carpenters
met nt tho different buildings where the-y
had been working, but none of them went
to work. About 1,600 men went on a strike
throughout the borough of Bronx nnd Issued
a circular to tho bosses. Tho circular re-clte-s
tho demands of the men, which are
as follows: $3.50 shall bo paid for eight
hours' work In Bronx and $3.25 for the
eumu length of time In Mount Vernon. Tho
men nlso demand that Saturdny afternoon
shall bo considered a half holiday and that
no work shall bo dono then.
Somo of the otrlkers went to the bosses to
bcu If they would not accede to the demand.
They wero very successful. Flfty-ono bosses
signed nn agreement ngr"lnp to pay the
men what they demanded nnd nUn give them
tho half holiday. About 600 strikers re
turned to work. It Is expected that many
moro will return when the bosses sign.
At Orange. N. J., 1.000 mechanics, about
equally divided among the painters, mnoiin
and carpenters, struck today. The masons
and painters nlrendy havo an eight-hour day.
but thoy demand an Increase In wages. The
painters now receive $2.50 a day. They ask
that this be Increased to $2.75. Tho masons
demand 15 cents an hour; they are now get
ting 10 cents. The carpenters demand $2.75
for nn eJght-hour day. Their present ratr
are $1.50 to $2.50 for a working day of nine
hours.
Tho strlka of masons will probably bo
settled tomorrow, as It Is expected the em
ployers will ngree to tho men's terms.
The employers In fact havo promised to
nccewle to the demands on May 1, but the
men Insist that the new rates should begin
today.
The Mrlko of the painters and carpenters
will probably bo a prolonged contest, ns the
men nro determined to gain their ends and
the bosses aro equally firm In their refusal
to acceded to the strikers' demands.
MACHINISTS RETURN TO WORK
Miimn Meeting' A 1 111 on t I'iiiiiiIiiioiipiI j
Fnvor tlio t'oiiiproiiile
I'ro pofliil.
CHICAGO, April 2. With tho blowing of
tho whistles In the machine shops of Chi
cago for tho beginning of work today thou
sands of machinists rcsumeJ tho work In
terrupted somo weeks ugo by n strike. About
half the 5,500 men who went out resumed
their labors this morning and the manu
facturers said that, aB the differences had
olthor been settled or put on n basis to be
arbitrated, thu rcmulnder of tho machinists
would undoubtedly return In straggling
lots during the next two or three days. The
agreement entered Into recently by repre
sentatives of tho manufacturers and the
men wns ratified yesterday at a mass meet
ing, the voto being 3,028 In favor of ratifying
the modified agreement and 396 against It.
Tho strike has cost the men $500,000 In snl
nrles, whllo the loss to the mnnufneturers
through Inability to complete contracts can
not be readily calculated. The men have
been granted a nine-hour day with ten
hours' pay.
Fifty thousand members of the Building
Trades council learned that their fellow
workmen in nnothor trado had gone back
to work with feelings of envy. By reason
of strikes and lockouts they have been out
for over a month, yet the settlement of the
troubles between them and the contractors
seems ns far away as over.
COAL MINERS ON STRIKE

Work Senlo.
PITTSBURG, 'April 2. From 12,000 to
15,000 coal miners in the Pittsburg district
and 9,000 in tho Irwin district aro on a
strike today. Tho cause of tlio trouble In
tho Pittsburg district Is dissatisfaction over
tho dead work scalo of tho Indianapolis
ngreoment nnd wns entirely unexpected. All
tho river mines were forced to eloso down
by the refusal of tho men to work and
mnny of the railroad mines nro Idle, in tho
Irwin district the miners want an advnnfo
of 5 cents per ton. Good order prevails In
both districts.
The principal trouble in the Pittsburg dis
trict Is over the run of mine rate and tho
pay for drivers. The drivers are not satis
fled with tho advance of 5 per cent granted
under tho Indianapolis agreement and are
asking an ndvance equal to tho Increase nr
corded to the miners, or 20 per cent ad
vance. At mines whore the miners are sat
Is fled with the digging rate they are unable
to work on account of the drivers being
Idle. Under tho provision of Ihe Indian
apolls agreement, which went Into effect to
day, the pay of mine workers Is higher than
for many years, nnd It Is thought that an
amicable settlement can bo reached without
a prolonged strike.
