THE PORTO RICO TARIFF. Minority Report of Ways and Means Committee Favors Free Trade. WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. The ways and means committer of the house of representatives reported on the Porto Ricb tariff bill today. The minority report Is signed by all the democratic members of the ways and means committee and R presenta tlvc Newlands, the sliver member. It says in part: "The undersigned members of the committee are unable to agree with the conclusions of the committee in respect to the bill reported to regulate the trade of Porto Rico and for other pur poses ana respeciiuuy suDn.it our views as follows: ''The bill raises two questions which must be considered and determined. 1. The right or power under our written constitution to enact the meas ure. "2. Whether, if we have the power, should congress exercise it in the man ner provided in the bill? "The bill iin framed upon the idea and the asumptlon that congress has entered upon ttie government of Porto Rico unrestrained by the provisions of the constitution." The report then takes up the const! Little Pimples Turn to Cancer. Cancer often result! from an Im parity In the blood, inherited from fenerations back.

"This braneh of tne subject has pre viously been c-ivered as a special re port J'roceod'ns the report says: "If the position taken by the major ity of the committee in recommending the passage of the bill be the correct one and congress has the power to gov ern territory of the L'nlted States, In dependent of the limitations of the con stitution, It must follow that congress is not restrained by this instrument from passing laws imposing customs duties on the mliu-rals and ore of the territories of Arizona and Mexico; the turs and fish of Alaska, the lumber of Oklahoma and of all other products "f tluse territories when imported Into any of the mates of the union and also upon all products of any kind into the territories from the states or any one of tbem. The ower to pass such law was never be'ori claimed In 0;r land. "It is wholly Inconsistent with the theory and form of our government. "The exercise of such power is pure end simple imperialism and against It we enter our most solemn protest. We never have held and cannot hold ter ritory as a political dependency and subject to unequal taxation. "Our union is cue of states with comraoi interests and a common des tiny. The blessing of free government rests alike upon our people, w hether In the thirteen original states or In th" yourgest member of the union or in the newest acquired territory. It does not matter in which form territory Is ac quired, it is to be held under our con stitution with the object of finally be ing admitted into the union as a state. In support of this doctrine the decis ions of the supreme court are uniform and in harmony with the doctrine here in enunciated." I After calling attention to the presi dent's recent recommendation for the abolishment of all customs duties be tween Porto flico and the United States and the report of the i-ecretary of war to the same effect, the report concludes as follows: "We do not know why these sudden changes have occurred. We cannot be lieve that the president has been con verted from the opinion he so lately expressed or that he now admits the unwisdom of the solemn advice he so recently .save to congress. We are not advised that his opinion was hastily formed and that he had not maturely consideied the subject upon which he was advising us. "We do not believe the people of this land ardently attached as they are to our free Institutions can be brought to favor a policy which oppresses the inhabitants of the territory owned by the United States anywhere and over which the flag of the repub lic floats, even If such a policy should serve In a dfgree to enrich some of the citizens of the I'nited States. We protest earnestly against the adop tion of a robber policy which makes this republlo take the place of a ruth less monarchy, Spain. In despoiling Porto Rico, n-jw a portion of the United States. "We recommend that the pending bill does not pass." GOVKHNMENT FOK ALASKA. Delegation at Washington Urging Cer tain Changes Before the Gold Rush. NEW YORK, Feb. 8. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: A largs delegation from Alaska is here urging congress to enact some leg islation under which a government may be organized In that territory as soon as the rush to the gold fields be gins in the spring. Among the delegates are Governor John G. Brady; W. L. Distln, surveyor general: Wm. A. Kelley, supervisor of the census; John M. Kice, who was ap pointed a delegate by a mass conven tion of miners; Richard E. Lewis, a business man of Juneau; Mr. Wash burn, manager of the Alaska Commer cial Company; Louis Sloss, Jr., a busi ness man from Skaway, and Father Barnum, a Roman Catholic missionary who spent many years In Alaska, but who is now librarian of the George town university. These men make requests for legisla tion that they claim is atsolutely nec essary for the protection of the people and th'? preservation of the peace. They ask for the establishment of eourtH at St. Mi hael or Cape Nome, at Eagle City and at Juneau or Skag way. There is now only one court In the territory and the people are com pelled to go 1030 miles and often a longer distance and to remain away from their homes several months and sometimes a year, when they are In terested in litigation or are summoned as witnesses. The delegation from Alaska asks for other legislation, particularly authority to organise municipal governments which cannot be done under the pres ent statutes. Towns of 1,500 and 2.000 people already exist by suffrance and they are voverned by official elected without the authority of the law. There are no county, township or municipal organizations In Alaska, no school dis tricts, no police, no tire d. pat tments, no power to make roads or streets or to enforce order or sanitary conditions ex cept by common consent, and whore money is needed for these purposes It is raised by subscription. Ueroro June 1. it is exacted that the town of I u pe Nome will contain 2000 InhaMuiMs and It Is scarcely possible that so large a community can be governed without law or formal authority. Already the sanitary conditions are said to be dreadful. Before the last boat left there was an epidemic of ty phoid fever, and there Is no telling how far it has extended. There Is no sewer age, no method of' disposing of gar bage and offal and the water Is bad naturally. Most of the supply used for drinking and cooking Is taken from a river which Hows through at least two mining camps and receives nearly all their fl'.th and refuse. If the bubonic plague which has already reached the Hawaiian Islands should be communi cated to Cape Nome, the situation would be desperate and thousands of lives would pay the penalty of neglect. The delegation also asks appropria tions for the construction of roads, for the support of schools, postolnYes. mall service, prisons and for other pur poses. The United States government now collects a revenue from $.T000 to JiOO.OCO a year by taxation which goes into the treasury at Washington and not more than half of It Is expended for the benefit of the people who pay these taxes. Not a dollar of the taxes collected in Alaska can be expended for any purpose without an exact and specific appropriation by the members of con press, of whom 95 per cent have never been within 5,000 miles of the territory and most of whom have only a vague idea of the conditions existing there. BRYAN AGAIN TALKS. Answers a Speaktr at a Social Func tion Who Praises the Philip pine P licy. NEW YORK. Feb. 8.-During the banquet of the Society of the Genesee at Sherry's last night, Mr. Bryan and hid party entered the hall while Oscar F. Williams, ex-consul at Manila, was speaking cu affairs in the Philippines. Mr. W illiams defended the Pi illpplne policy of General Otis and President McKlnley and closed with an appeal to continue President McKlnley at the helm of state, asurlng his hearers that such a helmsman would bring the ship to port safe and secure. There were loud cries for a speech from Mr. Bryan and he finally rose and thanked those asembled for the hearty reception. He said: "With some of the things that the speaker has Just said I heartily agree. When hs spoke of governing with the consent of the people and by the peo ple and for the people, and I agree with him with all my heart. But if he means that the people of the Phil ippines are to be taxed without repre sentation, then I don't agree with him. I have my own ideas of the destinies of this country, of what government Of the people, for the people and by the I eople means. Republicanism rests up on the consent of the people. I don't believe God ever created one nation to cross the seas to seize and govern an other. I agree with the speaker that we ought to plant the seeds of our form of government in all parti of the world. But I cannot see why we ought to do It with cannon, nor why we should It isn't much tiouble for really healthy man to be good humored. Jollity and exhuberant health are s pro verbial combination. The hearty man wh is always laughing doesn't have any trouble with hn digestion. It has been said thai laughing makes people healthy. The tint is that health makes people laugh. It is impossible to estimate the tre mendous influence of health upon tinman character. A man with a headache will not be in a happy, contented frame of mind. A man who suffers from a weak stomach and an impaired digestion will sit and grumble through the best meal ever prepared. A bilious man who is not bore, is deserving of a place in museum. A nervous man who is not petulent and fault-finding is a curiosity. All these con ditions lead to grave diseases, when the victim becomes not only disagreeable, but dependent as well. A wise wife will real ize that while the old saying that a " man's heart is in bis stomach," is not literally true, it is a fact that his stomach sweetens or sours his character according as it is healthy or unhealthy. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best of medicines for the conditions described. It makes the weak stomach 9trong, the impaired digestion perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood and tones the nerves. It tears down half-dead, inert tissues and replaces them with the firm muscular tissues of health. It builds new and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells. It dissipates nervousness and melancholy tnd imparts mental elasticity and courage. It is the best of all known medicines for nervous disorders.

Major-General Otla will be detached from duty as governor genera of the Philippine1 and commander of the de partment 'of the Pacific Immediately after the arrival of the new Philip pine commission and will be ordered to return to the United States. This ac tion will be in compliance witb the wishes of General Otis, who has In formed the war department that he la In ne.'d of a respite.

Navy repurtm m Will Adopt a Shell More lnweiful Than Lyddite. NEW YORK. Feb. .-A speelnl to the Tribune from Washington says: Tomorrow the ordnance expert of the navy will make nn experiment which n.ay revolutionise armored ship construction and leverse the present ascendancy of armor over projectll which has resulted from tho Incessant competition between the gun und the protective armor of the iinvien nf the world. " ' " 1 At the Indian Head proving ground an 8-Inch plate has been set up tinier conditions resembling a nearly ns pos sible an actual ship section with Its protective deck and flooring behind the urnior. This structure Is to be nt-J tacked b a semi-armor piercing shell1 from a 10-Inch rifle with a charge' which will perforate the plate. The sh' II Is to carry it small charge of the powerful new American explosive I thorite, made from the formula of I.)r. Tuttle, of the state of Washington. 1 whose compound, If the rlulms for It properties are sustained, will be ot In-' calculable effect on the conduct of war. 1 The army made some experiment, with thorite at Sandy Hook without cental lorn. I results but naval officer who have had some experience with the 1 terrible stuff are extremely curious re garding its tremendous possibilities. Thy have found It so In-rl that a re I hot poker can be thrust Into a mass of It ani It may be hammered to pieces without '.xploding. It detonates, how ever, with the greatest ease by fuse ard tinder such circumstances It Is as destructive as nltro glycerine. If a reasonable amount of such an explosive could be projected through heavy armor plate and made to destroy the confined Interior of a ship, It far reaching effect would be Inestimable in navul practice. The Inventor of thorite say that this can be reudlly accomplished, and to dmmstrate whether It I feasible or not, the ord nance experts hav prepared for the new experiment. They have selected a shell which they are satisfied can be made to pierce eight Inches of harveylzed plate and Dr. Tuttle undertake to explode enough thorite In the shell after It passts through the plate to destroy the protective deck, flooring and other ma terial representing the citadel of the ship. Naval experts have not a y.t Deen able to find any powerful sub stance that would not be exploded oy the tremendous impact of the shell on the plate. FRENCH RECIPROCITY.

A special to the Tribune from Washington says: The fight for the ratification of the French reciprocity treaty has been re sumed with vigor and with such re cently acquired support that th friendl of that Instrument now believe success Is certain. Ambassador Cam- bon hag brought back the Information of the earnest desire of the French government for the ratification of the treaty and ha urgad the state depart ment to take effective steps to scenre favorable action by the senate. Mr. Casson I preparing to refute the assertion that France ha declined to reduce the duties of article other than luzurles. He point out that France is the largest consumer of cotton seed oil, and this . fact alone, he believes, ought to bring to the treaty the sup port of southern senator In whose sec tion the production of cotton seed oil is an Industry of great proportions. It Is understood that the administration realized the mistake it ha made In keeping everything connected with this treaty secret and denying even to the member of the finance committee ac cess to the data and correspondence upon which the treaty Is based. Mr, Casson will, it Is understood, change till policy and give more publicity to hi argument for the treaty.
