DETERMINING THE FUTURE STATUS I’orto Kira In the House end nuirall in the Senate—I.ate Senator Hayward to Be Enleflied Thursday—Other Mat ter* at the National Capital. WASHINGTON. Feb. 19— Debate t;pon the Porto Rican tariff bill, con sideration of which the house will en ter upon today, promises to be memo rable in the history of this congress. The vital question at Issue In the bill In whether that clause of the constitu tion providing for equality of impost and excise taxes throughout United States territory extends over the island of Porto Rico and in this is involved, perhaps, the determination of the fu ture status and government of our new possessions. The republicans in framing the bill have proceeded upon the theory that the constitution and its immunities do not extend over Porto Rico. The dem ocrats are solidly arrayed on the other side and in committee they were joined by one republican. McCall of Massa chusetts. Among the other republic sns who take the same view is Little field of Maine who succeeded the late Mr. Dlngley. He won his spurs in the debate upon the Roberta case and Is already considered one of the most Vowerful debators in the house. The support of these two prominent republicans has raised some hopes In the opposition that they may be able to defeat the bill, although this hardly seems proble just now. Roth sides are preparing for a royal strugggle. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, will open in support of the bill. He will be followed by Rich ardson, the minority leader. Bailey of Texas will close for the minority. The debate will continue throughout the week and the vote will be taken on the following Monday. The attention of the senate this week will be given largely to (he relations of the United States to its Insular pos sessions. The LIU providing a form of government for"the Hawaiian Islands has right of way, and if it should be so fortunate as to lie Anally acted upon before the close of the week, the Porto Rican bill, under tlie agreement made In the republican caucus, last week, will be immediately taken up. The probabilities are that the Ha waiian bill be debated at consideiuble length and that many amendments will be offered to it. On this account and becituse It may be made the basis of more or less general talk on the ques tion of the policy to lie pursued toward the new possessions, considerable time probably will lie necessary to the final disposal of the bill. All admit the urgency of legislation giving the Hawaiians a government, but there are some points on which there are radical differences of opin ion. and these will have to be fought out. The most Important of these is the question as to whether the com mercial intercourse between the United States and the islands shall be under a tariff or under the free trade system allowed between the states of the union. The bill provides for free trade, but several of the senators, under the leadership of Platt of Connecticut, are making an effort to secure a radical amendment in this respect. Senator Cullom, in charge of the hill, will resist, and he will he supported by some republicans and nearly all the demooratis members. Practically the j same light will be made on the Porto j Rican bill. Tli* (lirrlion for Mamin. BUFFFALO, N. Y., ,Feb. 19—lien- ! eral William R.

MACRUM WILL NOT RETRAC7. | ————— Pleased Over HI* Statement and ft 111 Hark It Willi Testimony. PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 19.—Charles j S. Macrura, former United States eon- j sul at Pretoria South Africa, left for Washington tonight at 10 o’clock o: j the Baltimore & Ohio road. Before ! Paving he said: I "I do not withdraw a word of my charges against the British officials in South Africa. If I am called upon. I am prepared at any time to testify to them and furnish evidence of their j truthfulness." Mr. Mac-rum is evidently aengnred ever the effect of his statement made last week, and says that although he was not acquainted with Congressman Wheeler of Kentucky, who introduced a resolution in the house asking for an investigation of his case, he will call upon him. The ex-consul says he is not going to Washington on any spe cial mission, but wants to be on the ground to give his testimony should it he needed. Politics h Still Loaded. FRANKFORT, Ky.. Feb. 19.—A po litical argument between e.\-State Sen ator A. J.

I FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 19.—A good j part of the democratic legislators re turned here tonight, and numerous conferences were in progress during the evening relating to the political program tomorrow when the demo j crntlc and republican branches of the J legislature will meet together for the j first time since the assassination of j the late Governor Goebel. The question whether Lieutenant Governor Marshall (republican) or j President Pro Tern Carter (democrat) will preside in the senate tomorrow is as wide open tonight as it has been. The democratic leaders say Senator Carter will preside. Lieutenant Gov ernor Marshall is not here tonight, but before leaving the city last night he stated positively that he would return Monday and insist on his right to pre side and the republican leaders assert positively tonight that he will pre side. Neither side goes farther than these bare statements and what steps they will take, if auy, to carry out these cross purposes respectively can only be determined by events tomor row. Governor Taylor went to church to day without military escort and spent the remainder of the day at the man sion with his family. Governor Beckham returned to the city tonight with the democratic legis lature and will have his headquarters at the Capital hotel. Messrs. Justus and Arthur Goebel, brothers of the late democratic governor, also returned and will remain here until the body of their dead brother is finally consigned to earth. The body still lies in the little chapel in the cemetery, the rela tives having been slow’ to determine the exact spot of burial. The question of reopening the con test over the governorship by present ing resolutions in both houses ratify ing the action taken by the democratic legislators on two occasions declaring Senator Goebel governor, was dis cussed by some of the democratic mem bers tonight who favor it. They say this would not be a concession that the former proceedings were illegal, but would probably put an end to the controversy sooner. The matter has not been decided on definitely, but a majority of the members who are out spoken on the matter expressed them selves as opposed to reopening the mat ter in any form. They will abide by the decision of the party managers, however, and there may be some ref erence to it in tiie session of the legis lature tomorrow. Hi»u\ Cltylun (iiim to I'a-I*. SIOUX CITY.

CASTELLANOS TURN TO PLAY, Bodaji 8e«i tlie French Coant’* BlalT •nd Riliei Him the l imlt. PARIS, Feb. 17.—(New York World Cablegram.)—When a correspondent communicated the last threats Count Boni de Castellane made as he left New York for Paris to Rodaya he said: “In my opinion the young man’s cockiness will diminish gradually each day as the ship draws near these shores. His swaggering threats and bluffing .denials are quhe necessary while in America or else his position during his stay there would be abso lutely impossible. But depend upon It, Boni just now is mlgthy uneasy in his mind. I predict when he gets here he will find all sorts of excellent reasons to not make good his promises to take pugilistic liberties with me. Perhaps his counsel will advise him not to jeop ardize his success in the law suits be tween us, or his doctors may say that his wife’s delicate nerves wouldn't re sist the shock of a street dash between us. But whatever excuse is chosen ha will not slap or cane me, much less blow out my brains. Fo-’ my part, I intend to stand by what my paper said; moreover, I am quite ready to give Cas tellane all the duelling be wants. 1 fancy I will even be able to give him a trifle more than he would seek of his own accord, if lunpushei by public opinion. I have a record, with which everybody, including Castellane, is ac quainted, and I refer you to that. But while willing to meet him both that way and before the courts, where the Figaro intends to prove its assertions, 1 shall not tolerate any ungentleman like assault. Whoever tries to pummel me is warned that he will do so at great risk. The editor of the Figaro enjoys the reputation of a cool and fearless man. He has fought a number of duels with both sword and pistol, with prominent antagonists. On the other hand, no body disputes Castcllane’s pluck. Two years ago he displayed, net only great courage, but Immense skill in an en counter with Henri Turd. On that occasion the count wounded the jour nalist severely after one of the longest and fiercest duels of recent times. Paris is now preparing to feast on the results of the meeting, which will be inevitably sensational, between these fw<r men. .... Start on a New Campaign. MANILA, Feb. 17.—Brigadier Gen eral Alfred E.
