might expect from the victors.
President Steyn lied to Kroonstadt
without leplying to Lord Roberts de

remarked afterwards,

The action of the United Stntes State

the public in the absence of the text of

Ymn.vcT0.v, March 14. At 12:40
o'clock this afternoon the President af
fixed his signature to the financial bill,
thin (linking it a law of the land. Repre
sentative Overstreet, who had tho bill in
charge, arrived at tho While House
about live minutes beforu that time, and
waa shown into the cabinet-room, where
he was joined by the President, who,
after inquiring if the bill had been com
pared with care, affixed his signature to
it. At tho same time he recalled to
those who stood by the fact that many
of the important financial bills which
bad been nassed by ConeresB had leen
approved on the 14th of the month. He
spoke of the Sherman act, tho re
sumption act and now the bill which
was before him. In Bigning the bill, the
President used a new gold pen and
holder, which Overatroet had brought
with him for the purpose.

Indianapolis, March 14. The Sen
tinel tomorrow wil1 say:
"One of the most prominent Republi
cans iu Indiana, who has just returned
from Washington 'and who is known to
be very close to the Administration, is
authority for the statement that a de
fense of tlie Puerto Rican tariffbill is be
ing prepared that will show the poli
ticians that the enactment of the bill,
instead of being a blunder, was the
shrewdest campaign move of the age.
He says this delense is in the hands of
Senator Frye, who will spring it in the
Senate in due eeaEon. It will be shown,
he Bays, that the sugar and tobacco trustB
were opposing the bill with might aud
main, and that their demand was for
free trade with all colonies. It will be
further thovMi, liesays, that it was the
intention of the trusts to "cquat" in the
colonies and flood America with their
cheap products, which would have the
tiled to drive countless thousands of
laboring men out of house and home,
liven the approximate reduction
iu wages .of American laboring
men is being figured for campaign pur
poses, he says."
