He declared that the majority were ready to resume the responsibility for the legislation and predicted that at n distant day the masses of the people would recognize the course of the ma jority as wise and heneficient for the people of Porto liico. We have no doubt that this prediction will be veri fied. We have heretofore stated the gen eral character of this measure, which provides a form of government for Porto Rico in which the people will to some extent participate and under which they will be prepared for a lar ger measure of self-government, and R ed says he will resign he resigns.

Washington, April 11. Representa tive Foss, of Chicago, actins chair man of the house committee on naval affairs, made interesting admission yesterday relative to government and private construction of warships and manufacture of armor plate. Foss states emphatically that the govern ment cannot construct warships as economically as private companies can, and for that reason he is opposed to the establishment of a government armor plate factory, as recommended by the minority of the house naval committee when the budget, carrying over $01,000,000, was reported. But perhaps the most startling statement from the lips of the acting chairman of the naval committee is that he re gards the repairing of ships in the government ship yards as extravagant, and that this work can be performed with less expenditure to the govern ment in private yards. Studied the Question in Europe. Foss made an extended trip to Eu rope to study the modern methods of naval construction in the big ship yards abroad. In order to substantiate his views Foss submits figures to show tnat private companies are enabled to construct warships upon a cheaper basis than the government can under take. "I have studied the problem thoroughly," he 6ays, "and I am con vinced that the government cannot, for various obvious reasons, undertake to build warships as economically as can private companies. In the first place, the hours of labor for govern ment employes would be limited to eight; then, the government has not the facility for assembling the crude material nor the superior ciassof work- mansnip wmcn private companies possess. Armor Plate Is Cheap Here. "The same is true of the manu facture of armor plate. As a matter of fact, the cry of exorbitant demands by the armor plate manufacturing com panies is not well founded. During my visit abroad I studUtl tills question, and the fact is that this government pays less for armor, at $34. per ton, than do foreign governments. To go a step further, I may say that it would be cheaper for the government to have its ship repairs made in private yards Instead of in the government yards." PABIS FAIE WILL BE WIDE OPEN Exhibits Must Be Exhibited for Seven Days in the Week. rarls. April 11. United States Com missioner Ferdinand W. Feck has con sulted with the authorities at "Wash ington respecting the question of Sun day opening at the exposition in this city, and has received a cablegram say ing that President McKinley desired that the American section should be closed on Sunday as far as allowed by the French regulations. Peck thereupon saw the French au thorities and was shown a toy-law which compels the opening of all ex hibits on the seven days of the week, and even gives the French authorities power to remove any coverings placed over an exhibit case during unauthor ized hours. The same rule applies to machinery, and the by-law makes no exception in the case of the national pavilions.

The com mittee was impressed with the testi mony of Justices ricfirott and Hunt and were morally certain that Clark's agents had offered them $mo,000 apiece to anect tneir decision.
