After a de bate, at times spirited, extending over parts of two days, the Senate today passed the Puerto Rican relief appropri ation bill. As passed, the measure car ries $2,095,000, the President being author ized to use that sum "for public educa tion, public works and other Governmen tal and public purposes" In Puerto Rico. Allen offered an amendment to the bill declaring that the Constitution extends over Puerto Rico by its own force, but it "Ras lost by the decisive vote of 25 to 17. Jones of Arkansas withdrew a free-trade amendment offered by him, and that prop osition, therefore, did not reach a vote.' Other efforts to amend the bill were fruit less. An order was made by the Senate as to consideration of the case of ex-Senator Quay, it being unanimously agreed that it should be taken up two weeks from next Tuesday and discussed until dis posed of, the discussion not to Interfere with the unfinished business, the Spooner bill authorizing the President to govern tho Philippines until otherwise directed, the appropriation bills or conference re ports. This was the first private bill day Jn the House under the new rule.

Six bills of minor Importance were passed. Tim DAY IX DETAIL. Clone of the Debute and Vote in the Sennte on Puerto Rico Relief BUI. "WASHINGTON, March 16. At 10 o'clock today the Senate convened to conclude. If possible, between that Jiour and noon, the formal reading of the Alaska code bllL Only two or three Senators were present during the earlier part of the session. Carter (Rep. Mont), who reported the bill, was in the chair, and Bate (Dem. Tenn.), who has kept close attention upon the reading of tho measure, did not leave his seat until the last word of the bill was pronounced. The reading was con cluded at noon, 114 pages being read today. Today's session was the fourth special session for the reading of the bill. Hoar (Rep. Mass.) offered the following resolution, which was adopted: "That the Secretary of "War be directed to communicate to the Senate a letter of. Emilio Agulnaldo, dated at Bacoor, July 15, 189S, addressed to the American com mander and forwarded to General Mer ritt July 27, 1S9S." Galllnger (Rep. N. H.) offered a reso lution, which was agreed to, that the mem bers of the Cabinet bo directed to commu nicate to the Senate the number of clerks In their departments, giving the number between specified ages and also those who in whole or In part are permanently incapacitated. Hoar renewed his request of yesterday that a date bo flxe for tho taking up of the case relating to the seating of Quay as a Senator from Pennsylvania, and asked that the time beflxed at two weeks from next Tuesday, the consideration of tho case not to interfere with appropriation bills, conference reports, unfinished busi ness or tho Spooner hill conferring au thority upon the President to govern the Philippines. Galllnger, who had yesterday some hot words with Penrose (Rep. Pa.), said he had heen astounded at the charge that Choso who were opposed to tho seating of Quay were employing parliamentary tactics to obstruct a vote on the case. He pointed out that ever since the case had been before tho Senate, bills In charge of Senators favorable to Quay had been tinder consideration by the Senate. "In no manner." said he, "has a single Senator opposed to the seating of Quay laid any obstacle in the way of a vote on that case. I'll say now the Senate need not delay that vote for a single minute on my account. I shall not object. I'll -vot my convictions by voting against the seat ing of Quay." The order proposed by Hoar was agreed to by unanimous consent. On motion of Allison (Rep. la.), consid eration of the bill appropriating 52.035,000 of the collected customs revenue to the people of Puerto Rico was resumed. Tho chair having ruled that tho committee amendments to the bill -nad been adopted, other amendments offered -were In order.' The committee amendments provided that the money appropriated should be collect ed up to January 1, 1900. the appropriation to bo used for "public education, public works and other Governmental and public purposes." The first amendment was that of Allen (Pop. Neb.). It provided "that the Con stitution was by force of the treaty con cluded between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain at the City of ParN France. April 11, 1899, extended over the Island of Puerto Rico and its inhabitants Chilton (Dem. Tex.) said that Puerto iilco was the pivot around which turns Pno of the gravest questions brought Into American politics In 40 years. "Tho proposition to levy custom duties against Puerto Rico." he said, "marks a Btep in American history which every patriot should seek to turn back No. withstanding tho 'expedients' which have .been thrown around the bill to 'gloss it over.' this bill is just as much the as. eortion of a wrong and dangerous princi ple as the tax on tea which fired the re slstance of our forefathers and culminat ed in tho establishment of this Republic Tho progress of the American Union has peen glorious with annexations. The Dem. ocratic party has been from Its Infancy the party of territorial acquisition, but in all our history there has never been a proposition made to tax productions of our new territories when transported Into the boundaries and sold. Any law of that kind Is nothing more than the spoliation of tho -weak by the strong." Allison moved to lay the amendment of ..v-n U1H moie. xne motion prevailed. f to 17.

Ark.) withdrew the amend ment he had offered yesterday, saying, in doing so, that a great storm had raged in Puerto Rico, and that likewise a great storm was raging in this" country, the .cause bf the latter" being the election of the House on tho Puerto Rican question. There was now a strenuous effort on 'the part of the Republicans to get out of this storm, and the bill proposed was the means they were employing to land safe ly. He declared that the course of the Government toward the people of the isiana. and not the hurricane, had par- alyzod the Industries of Puerto 1 Rico, 'and said the remedy was to permit the Puerto Ricans to bring -their products here free of duty, and to buy and sell wherever they might please. "Tho course we have pursued toward these people," said Jones, "is wrong and indefensible. "What the Puerto Ricans want is not charity, but Justice." In answer to a question by Aliens Alli son replied that under the military gov ernment in Puerto Rico all food products, farm implements and many other useful and necessary articles were admitted free of duty. He said It was proposed to pass a Puerto Rican bill here In the Senate that would be entirely Just to Puerto Rico and to the United States. Allen Does that Include the tariff pro vision? Allison Undoubtedly. Allen asked what rates of duty the goods of Puerto Rico were now paying the United States. "They are now paying the rates fixed by tho DIngley act," replied Allison. "The bill we shall pass for Puerto Rico will be liberal and Just to all. I take it there is no senator on either side of this chamber who would propose to continue the present commercial conditions between the United States and Puerto Rico for any considerable time. I want the mat ter hastened, in every way possible." Jones inquired where, the money camo from that was being expended In Puerto Rico and had been expended heretofore. Foraker (Rep. O.) replied that a largo amount had been expended from the war emergency fund, and that some had been expended from customs receipts. The "War Department hoped that relief would be afforded by Congress, but the relief had been delayed so long that the present proposition had been brought in. Remarking that he could not ascertain Just what the object of the bill was, Jones said he would content "himself with of fering the following amendment: "From and after the passage of this act no duty shall be collected on articles com ing into Puerto Rico from other parts of the United States, or on goods coming from Puerto Rico into' other parts of tho United States." Pettus (Dem. Ala.) declared his oppo sition to the bill, holdlngsuch appropria tions were dangerous as precedents, and ought to be abandoned. "Wolcott (Rep. Colo.) inquired if the ap propriations made for the relief of the Mississippi River sufferers at various times were not in terms more liberal than tho present measure. Pettus replied that this was not true. "We relieved many sufferers by appro priation," he said, "but In every Instance a specific appropriation was made for a specific purpose." In answer to a further inquiry by "Wol cott, Pettus maintained that not a dol lar of any relief appropriation heretofore made could be used for any purpose than that, specifically defined In the legislation. "The proposition now before us," he de clared, "Is bad policy, and it is a dan gerous policy." Tillman (Dem. S. C.) said there was evidently so much division among the Republicans that It appeared doubtful to him whether they would be able to enact any Puerto Rican legislation at all. He said It looked as If the Republican party had reached the end of Its rope, and that the last hope was now to contend that Congress was without limitation In the government, or of legislating for acquired territory- Referring to the difference be tween tho Government's treatment of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, as to the admis sion of their respective products, Till man jaldi "Senators. owe It to themselves not to show such "discrimination on the one hand and such outrage on the other." He was, going to vote for the pending bill, he said, because the enactment of the measure Into law was the only way to restore to the, people of Puerto Rico taxes taken from them wrongfully and uncon stitutionally. "The United States has not given the people of Puerto Rico a cent, and it is high" time," said, he, "that we give back to them the money we have stolen from them." Tillman declared that the government established now in Puerto Rico was worse than that forced upon the people by Spain, particularly as to the lslanaV fis cal affairs, as under Spanish rule the Puerto Ricans had at least a free mar ket In Spain for. their goods. This assertion Galllnger disputed, call ing Tlllmaq's attention tp -the fact that Spain levied jx. duty upon Puerto Rican products, especially coffee, which consti tuted four-fifths of the export product of the island. Tillman referred to what ho said would be the monumental salaries of the offi cials in the insular possessions, particu larly noting the members of the Philip pine Commission. Foraker Informed Till man that he had been told that tho high est salary of any member of the com mission would be $10,000 a year. At Tillman's suggestion, Jones with drew his amendment. In order to facill tate a vote on the bill, but Pettus Insist ed upon a vote on his amendments, which in effect were the making of a direct ap propriation for the relief of tho Puerto Ricans, without any reference to the tar iff or customs duties collected. They were defeated. The bill as reported by tho Senato committee was then passed without di vision, only a few scattering nays being heard against it. The following bills were passed: Re lating to the accounts of United States Marshals and Clerks of the District Courts for tho Territory of Utah; to amend the Revised Statutes relating to the signing of bills of exceptions. Mason (Rep .m.) then entered a mo tion that the foreign relations committee be discharged from furtner consideration of his resolution expressing sympathy for the Boers. Under the rule, tho motion went over. After an executive sosslon, at 4:40 P. M. the Senate adjourned until Monday. In the House. In tho House today. March 24 was set aside for paying tribute to the memory of the late Representative Epes, of Virginia-After agreeing to Senate amendments to a number of pension -hills, the House, in pursuance of tho recently adopted rule setting aside alternate Fridays for tho consideration of claims, went Into com mittee of the whole and took up the con sideration of private bills reported from the committee on claims. , The first bill called up proposed to pay Representative Claude Swanson. of Vir ginia, J17G9. the amount of expense In curred by him in connection with his contest in excess of the $2000 allowed by my, ou mucn opposition developed to ex ceeding the limit of expense allowance made for these contests that the bill' was withdrawn. Bills were passed to pay J. "W. Wox3 537S0 for extra services In the construc tion of the Mound City National Ceme tery; to refer the claim of Joshua Bishop, for services as commander. United States Navy, to the court of claims, and for the relief of several other individuals. At 4:40 P. M.. the House adjourned. Army of Puerto Rico. CHICAGO, March 16.

Committee is Determined to Keep XiCHtz- Campniga Speeches Out of the Record. WASHINGTON, March 16. The taking of testimony ltr the Coeur d'Alene inves tigation, before the House military com mittee, was suspended this morning in order to allow the committee to hold aa executive session to determine how far the official record of the proceedings should include the speeches and personal controversies which have occurred of late Representatives Lentz and Sulzer contend ed that everything should be Included, with a record of the vote, Including the names on each division. It was decided, by a vote of nine to five, on party lines, to keep the records down, as far as poseble, to actual questions, answers and votes. Subsequently this was amended 60 that all that has heretofore occurred will stand, but, hereafter, tho committee will deters mine, as circumstances arise, whether ar guments and controversies shall be In cluded. During the discussion, considerable feel ing was manifested, and intimations were made "by some members that they would withdraw from the Investigation because of the proposed limitation of the record. No such action was taken, however. Tho open session went over until 2 P. M. The cross-examination of Special Prose cutor Forney was continued at the after noon session. He said na doubt some Im prisoned men were innocent, and they were released as soon as the facts could be learned, but the testimony was volumin ous and action was necessarily slow. He believed there was a prima fade case against all those held. The committee made slow progress, as many of Lentz questions were ruled out, causing animated controversies. The ques tions were directed to showing' that" the Idaho Constitution contained the declara tion of Tights and of civil liberty. Forney said the present condition in the Coeur d'Alene district required the continued presence of the mlltary forces, although peace and quiet were being rapidly re stored. There had been no actual violence for some months. The witness said he had seen Governor Stcunenberg in and about the "bull pen" twice, about half an hour each time, mak ing inspections. He said the Governor's action was not reviewable by the courts, except in case of gross abuso of power.

March 16. A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Berlin says: The Constantinople correspondent of the Tageblatt telegraphs the following, which he claims to have acquired from a very good source: "During the last five months 160,000 sol diers have been thrown Into different De partments of Russia, both on this side and across the Caspian. Merv, Taschkend and Samarkand are veritable war camps and only the Impossibility at the present sea son of the year of building new barracks or harboring men in tents, has delayed the advance of further troops. A decisive manifestation against England may be expected before long." The correspondent adds, under reserve, that Russia has actually acquired a har bor on the Persian Gulf, outside tho Straits of Ormuz. Statements still moro sensational are published by the Munich Neusto Nachrlchten, one of the best in formed and most conservative papers In Germany, which affirms, among other things, that Great Britain has assented to co-operate with Germany for the purpose of upsetting Russian plans In Asia Minor. The semi-official organs of the German press seize the opportunity afforded by these annnouncements to proclaim that the Bagdad Railway Is an International undertaking, that Asia Minor Is unsulted to German colonization, and that Germany intends to maintain the strictest reserve in regard to questions pending between Russia and Turkey. Turkish agents are assured that Great Britain, If appealed to on the basis of the Cyprus agreement, will refuse to assist In protecting the Asiatic portion of Tur key from Russia, and Germany -does not Intend to snatch chestnuts out of the fire for England.

Twenty Million More of Subsidiary Coinnce Under the Nerr Law, NEW YORK, March 16. A special to the Times from Washington says: The mints of the United States will be busy for some time to come In Undertak ing to carry out the provisions of the act that has just become a law and that per mits the Secretary of the Treasury to add $20,000,000 to the stock of subsidiary coinage. Tho authority to coin silver of the smaller denominations has been obtained specifically from time to time, but has been restricted to small amounts, the supporters of the free coin age of silver having systematically re sisted the Increase of the supply of minor silver. Director of the Mint Roberts, In talk ing about the objects and usefulness of tho new act. as relating to subsidiary sliver coinage, said: "The new monetary act, approved March 14, authorizes an Increase of about $20. 000.000 in the stock of subsidiary sliver coin. The last authority for the Issue of subsidiary silver coin was given by a Joint resolution, approved July 22. 1876. In preparation for the resumption of specie payments. It authorized the Issue of on amount which, together with the frac tional paper currency outstanding, should at no time exceed $50,000,000. "June 9. 1S79. the act providing for the redemption of subsidiary sliver in law ful money was passed, and forthwith our old quarters, dimes and halves, which had been driven to tho West Indies and South America by our paper money, began to return. They were presented for redemp tion until the Treasury held over $30,000, 000. In this way the $50.4)00.000 limit was excoeded, for the Treasury officials paid this stock out in the regular course of business, until It was practically all ab sorbed. "The present stock In the country thus reached about $50,000,000. Under the new law. It may be $100,000,000, and bullion purchased under the Sherman act may be coined. The new authority was sorely needed and will scarcely suffice for tho growing needs, of tho country more than five or six years." Food, for Puerto Rican. WASHINGTON, March 16.
