    PORTO RICO
It U Again to Demand tho Attention of
tho Senate
AN EFFORT TO DELAY ACTION
TIhho for Ifroo Trnilo Hope to Itccrlvo
fllore Ihieouracomrnt l'rom the Conn
try, Thus I'uoftliig Them to I'ustpoiio
Vote-A Determination for Amendment.
WASHINGTON. March 20. Acaln
this week the senate will glvo tho
greater share of ltn time to the' Porto
Rico question, and tho outlook Is for
n continuation of tho animated teencs
of last week.
Porto IUco, however, according to
present Indications, will step nBldo
Umpornrlly nt thq beginning of tho
week In order to afford Senator Car
tor an opportunity to aecuro consldcr
ntlnn for his Alaskan code bill. Tho
present condition of affairs In Alaska
nnit tho prospect of a still greater In
flux of tho pcoplo Into that tcrrltorry,
make tho Alaska legislation very Im
portant, and tho condition of Porte
Rico legislative affairs is such as to
make It convenient to clve Alaska tho
much desired opportunity.
Tho republican caucus will take tho
Porto lllco question In hand again to
morrow and until It acts tho senators
having chnrgo of tho measure will not
deslro to press It. Tho republican
senators who support tho houso tarllf
bill hope to get tho measure out of tho
caucus after only ono sitting, but tho
frco traders uro not so nnxlous on
thnt score, and tho latter clement may
dolny matters there, as they arc dis
posed to do In tho senate, with tho
nope of receiving still further encour
agement from tho country nt large.
Some of tho members of tho freo
trade republican clement declare their
purpose to vote against the bill If re
ported without amendment. They
threaten to offer many amendments
and to mako speeches In opposition
and otherwise to do nil in their power
to prevent tho passage of tho bill as
it stands, but the caucus of course may
find a means of preventing this open
rupture. At any rate strong chort
will bo mndo In thnt direction.
Tho democratic senators will sup
port a frco trade amendment when
presented, but they prefer to have tho
bill voted upon unamended.
According to a certain mun the
nomination of Dynum to be nppraiser
at New York should bo tnkon up in
tho oxecutlvo session tomorrow, but
the republican caucus may causo post
ponement for a day or two. The dem
ocratic leaders will opposo confirma
tion. The committee on privileges and
elections will hear tho argument of
counsel in the case of Senator Clark
beginning on Wednesday. Tho report
on tho caso is not expected for several
The navy appropriation bill will bo
taken up In tho house tomorrow and
doubtless will servo as a text for a
wide latitude of dlscus&ton on military
affairs in general and tho cost of mil
itary establishment uncer tho now
rendition of nlalrs. In anticipation of
this an understanding may be reached
that threo days will bo given to tho
debate. Tho bill Itself covers no legis
lation on tho organization of tho army,
but is strictly a supply meaBiiro for
tho army on Its present bnsls.
The latter part of tho week will bo
devoted to tho naval, the agricultural
or tho fortifications appropriation bills,
although no exact order has yet been
tlxed for taking them up. Tho naval
bill and report nre ready and Acting
Chairman Foss is rather dcslrious of
having tho naval discussion follow that
on tho army, that the agricultural bill
can bo taken up on short notice. Tho
fortifications bill is already on the cal
endar. DOERS SEND WOUNDED BACK.

trooper, woro members of tho Johan
nesburg mounted police.
After dressing their wounds, they
sent them to the British camp In an

LONDON, March 20. Except for tho
"unfortunato occurrence," as Lord
Roberts describes It, which resulted In
tho killing of Lloutennnt Lygon nnd
tho wounding of Lieutenant Colonel
Crabbe, Lieutenant Colonel Codrlng
ton and Captain Trotter, the campaign
presents no new features. Tho mis
hap to tho Guards' officers Is a testi
mony to their bravery, but not their
discretion. They met a party of flvo
Boors, whom they tried to capture. The
Boers took refuge on n kopje, where
threo of their comrades wero hidden,
and within five minutes every member
of tho British party was hit.

FRANKFORT, Ky., March 20. Not
withstanding that troops recognizing
tho dual governors were quartered
within two squaics of each other, tho
republican troops at tho stato house
under orders from Governor Tnylor,
and tho democratic troops at tho court
touso, guurdlng the Gocbcl suspects,
Powers, Culton and Davis, under or
ders from Democrntlc Governor Bock

lican adjutant general, Colllor, nnd
Democratic Assistant Adjutnnt General
Murray were togothcr somo tlmo this
morning.
General Collier called to disclaim re
sponslblllty for tho mlno beforo the
stato nrsennl, which somo of tho sol

Is understood their talk took on a
wider scopo and that they discussed

Tho examining trial of Powers, It la
believed, will bo comploted elthor Tues
day or Wednesday, nnd thnt If Powers
1b held over tho other defendants will
waive examination. Wharton Golden,
tho stnte witness for the common
wealth, whoso Illness oil tho stand yes
tcrday forced an adjournment of tho
court twlco, Is reported by his physi
cian as very much Improved tonight
end In better condition to go Into the
witness box than ho wns yesterday.
If Witness Golden rcnlly goes on tho
stand for tho cross-exnmlnatlon to
morrow tho defense hopes to conclude
tho examining trial on Tucsdny.
Golden Is tho last of tho prosecution's
witnesses, so It has been understood.
Yestcrdny afternoon and today ho has
been seen on the streets. It wns stated
tcday thnt he went to Georgetown.
It Is tho general impression that tho
defenno mny mako no effort to contro
crt Goldcn's statement In the examin
ing trial. An examining judge needs
to have only a reasonable busplclon of
guilt to bind n prisoner over to tho
grand Jury and ns It Is ovldent Judgo
Moore has this, It would bo lly for
tho defense to shpw Its hand beforo
tho real trial.

Immigration returns for the quarter

crcaso of 19,914 arrivals at New York

Comparing tho returns for tho clos

HASTINGS, Nob., Mnrch 27. Tho
attorneys for the llorlockor dofenso
nro encountering dllllculty In handling
their client. She has nil along refused
to bo placed on tho witness stand, nnd
tho attorneys did not InBlst too stren
uously, as they counted on tho testi
mony of Miss Stowart to get tho de
sired oyldonco beforo tho Jury. Now
that this has been ordered stricken
from tho record ns Hearsay, counsel
for tho dofenso nro confronted with
tho necessity of gottlng it boforo tho
Jury In another form If they deslro to
uf.o tho mattor In argument, 'this la
what has again brought forward tho
necessity of Inducing tho dofendant to
tnko tho stand o personally testify to
tho matters pertaining to her personal
relations with Moroy, but sho balked
and bnlkcd hard. Sho declared that
she did not enro what became of her,
nnd that court, lawyors nnd Jury might
do whatovcr thoy pleased, but that
sho would not go upon tho witness
Etand.
While tho mattor is stricken from
tho record, It httB not been stricken
from tho minds of tho Jury, nnd n
prominent erlmlnnl lawyor remarked
this rftcrnoonfl "You couldn't tako
Hint ovUiunct) uvny irom Uui Jury with
u team of horses, no mattor what or
der tho court may mako or what In
structions may ho given." Tho con
sensus of opinion scorns to bo thnt
tho jury will dlsngrco und that tho
caso will novor bo retried. Opinion Is
almo3t unanimous on tho point that
no second trial will bo had in cace of
n disagreement, ns tho expense to tho
county runs up in tho thousands. Tho
general belief In tlio guilt nnd in the
sanity of tho dofendant is unchanged,
but Is it contended that tho uncertain
t ns to tho oxtent of Moroy's rela
tions with tho dofondnnt, togothor
with tho fact that "no ono was hurt
after all," and tho comparative ap
pi-ai-nuco In tho court room of tho two
women most deeply Interested, will
mllltnto in favor of tho defendant.
It Is set forth that Mrs. Moroy now
nppears to bo tho possessor of excel
lent health, a fairly robust, well
dressed, fino looking mntron In tho
primo of life, occupying an onviablo
socinblo position, and surrounded by
a largo circio of ardent and Influential
friends. It Is contended on tho other
hand that tho dofendant Is already
ruined for life socially, and a seeming
ly physical wreck. It Is figured by
those who have watched tho work of
juries that theso relative conditions
and attendant circumstances will havo
quite rh much to do In moulding tho
conclusions of tho jury as will tho tes
timony from tho witness stand.

FRANKFORT, Ky., March 28. F.
Wharton Golden of Barboursvlllo was
put on tho witness stand In tho exam
ination of Secretary of Stato Calob
Powors, charged with conspiracy to
murder Senntor Goobol. Goldou was
rathor nervous on tho stand, but did
rot hesitate In his replies to questions
nnd his testimony mndo a deep im
pression.
According to Golden, Calob Powws
was ono of tho prlmo movers In brlng-
ng to Frankfort of tho mountaineers
just beforo tho assassination of Goo
bol, and although Secretary Powers
simply Instructed him to bring wit
nesses who wero mountnln feudists,
yet Golden understood that they wero
to como to Frankfort for possibly a
moro sinister purpose; that of "clean
ing out the democratic majority In tho
legislature.'
Golden nlso brought In tho nnmo of
Governor Taylor In nn Incidental wuy,
also tho names of Culton, John Pow
era. Captain Davis, Charles Flnloy,
Judgo Bingham and others, tho plan
to bring tho mountaineers to Frank
fort having taken on n wider scopo
than expected. It Is oxpectcd tho com
monwealth will rest nt tho conclusion
of Goldcn's testimony. Golden wns
seized with a slight homorrhngo dur

Rov. Dr. It. H. Nassau oxpectB to re
turn in tho spring to his field of mis
sionary work In equatorial Africa. This
Is Dr. Nassau's fourth visit to tho
United States slnco, na n young man, ho
was sent to Africa ns n missionary 39
years ago. During tho last flvo ycarB
ho hns been stationed at Llborvlllo, Ga
boon province (French), engaged In
translating 14 books of tho Blblo Into
tho Fnng language Theso translations
aro being printed by tho American
Blblo society. Tho Fangs aro a trlbo of
cannibals, numbering nbout 1,000,000,
and Inhabiting tho country lying far
up tho Ogovo river. Thoy aro largo of
stature, warlike, and represent much
tho strongest trlbo In that portion of
tho country. Dr. Nassau said boforo
leaving llaltlmoro thnt ho could not
cnll tho natives that ho moots In Af
rica savages; thoy aro cruel, ho said,
but not bloodthirsty; their deslro to
kill Is moro for superstitious reasons.
There nro cannibals, ho said among
them. Ho haB Boon them boiling hu
man arms for food and offering for Bala
with other meats human hands; "nnd
ono day," continued tho doctor, "whllo
floating down tho rlvor In a canoe, ac
companied by my llttlo girl nnd two
natives to row tho boat, wo woro called
to from n group of naked men standing
on tho shoro to know If we wished to
buy nny meat, and, holding up a hu
man nrm, they informed us In their
Inngungo that they had just killed two
men belonging to n hostile trlbo not fnr
from there. This wns nbout thirty
miles bolow my house." Tho only
means of transportation through that
portion of tho country, Dr. Nassau
said, Is by boat. Trado la carried on
without monoy, n enko of Boap or a
ptcco of calico or bends being alllthat
is ncccssnry. "Tho men thcro nro

ANTI-TREATERS.
They Organise In Ctalllmore, Md., and
Propose to Save Lots of Money.
The latest movement of tho antl
trcatcrs haB Its headquarters in Balti
more Md., where an anti-treat circle,
with a president, officers and twenty
eight membors has been formed. Its
object Is, of course, to break up front
ing. Tho membors moot at tholr hall
onco a week, but no ono ovor dares to
sny, "Havo ono oh mo," for It ho
should ho would bo penalized with a
fino of 25 cents for each treat. Somo
of tho reason which lod to tho forma
tion of this clrclo may bo gained from
this lucid statement from ono of tho ,
mombors, who draws a plcturo whoso
fidelity to truth will bo rocognlzod
from Malno to Manila: "You nnd I
go Into a saloon with tho Intention of
having ono drink perhaps two. Wlo
moot eight or ten friends who Insist
upon our joining them. We do so.
Then you and I reciprocate. Finally
overy man in tho crowd Insists on
ovcrybody elso having 'ono with him.'
Tho consequonco Is that each man
takes eight or ten drinks of whisky
or beer, and after tho bout Is ovor
thero la not ono but who would havo
preferred a halt nt tho first drink.
ThlB custom, repeated several times
a day, year In and year out, will ruin
a man physically and financially."
Too Drad Turkeys.
A produce dealer who deals In both

his dressed poultry a lottor Intended for
tho shipper of tho llvo turkoys, aB fol
lows: "Dear Sir: Wo regret to advise
you that four of tho turkeys In your
consignment of December' reached
horo dead. Pleaso mako deduction for
samo and return corrected account.
Yours truly." Tho poultry man com
muned with himself and replied thusly:
"Dear Sir: I am sorry to say that I
find it Impossible to mako concession
roquestcd. I havo established a rulo
requiring all customers who doslro llvo
dressed turkeys to notify ua In advanco,
bo wo can send thorn In heated cars.
Turkeys without their feathers and In
sides are Uablo to catch cold If shipped
In tho ordinary manner. Tho mortality
among dressed turkeys was vory largo
this year. Yours mournfully."

from tbe vines whllo green nnd hung
