WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO PUERTO RICO?
SUOUMXOH OF TM ALL
oiufriro TOPIC.
AB-
The President's Object in Sealing
with the Important tueition Has
Been to Adopt am American Policy.
His Proposed Tariff Policy Blmply
a Patriotic Act of Generosity.
Special Correspondence of Tlio Tribune.
Washington, D. C, March 16. What
Is all this fuss' and walling and gnash
ing of teeth on Puerto Rico about any
way? What has happened? Why nil
this crimination and recrimination?
Why all this caucusing and political
clamor? Why all this ominous fore
boding as to the future of the Repub
lican party? Why all this senseless
walling and lurid prediction of Repub
lican defeat In the coming presidential
campaign
Why the accusation of cowardice,
selfishness and venality against the
president? The Republican conference
Wednesday wisely concluded to take
, the second sober breath and think It
all over. Suppose the president did
mako a mistake In recommending free
trade with Puerto Rico? Ho saw his
, mistake and had the courage to qual
f Ify It. Ho took the leaders of both
' parties In his confidence In maturing
a policy In regard to Puerto Rico that
some unforeseen exigency might
change. The president's object Was
to adopt an American policy not a Re
' publican policy. He took the whole
country Into his confidence, not the
Rppubllcan party alone. AH who talked
t with him about his Puerto Rlcan tariff
policy, whether Democrats or Repub
licans, understood the president's de
4 sire to treat the question from a non
' partisan standpoint, and they all nc-
qufesced at the time. There was a
distinct and emphatic understanding
, that the president's proposed tariff
policy was a simple and patriotic act
of generosity.
Puerto Rico had been hurricane
swept. ' Her helpless people were starv
ing. In discussing .the administra
tion's offer of help In the way of free
trade, no thought was entertained, or
If entertained, never expressed, in the
. temotest way suggestive of the opposi
tion and clamor that has followed the
Introduction of the question In con
gress. If tho president blindly trusted
to Democratic assurances in the form
ulation of his message to congress, he
knows better now. He understands
now that the Puerto Rlcan and the
Philippine questions are Republican
responsibilities and Republican prob
lems. The Republican petty will settle
them and they will be settled to the
honor and credit of the country and to
the entire satisfaction of the American
people. But has the president blun
dered In this matter? Has he subor
dinated humanity to dollars and cents?
In accepting a nominal duty on Puerto
Rlean products as a better tariff policy
than free trade, has he made any mis
take? Is It a blunder, or has' the
change of policy offended the north
eastern lumber and flour dealers, whs
uant free trade with Puerto Rico?
Was it a mistake to do exactly what
the Importunate Tobacco and Sugar
trust and. the Standard Oil trust al
most demanded he should do and ad
here to his free trade recommenda
tion? These great commercial Inter
ests are at the bottom of the clamor
. against the administration. The whole
truth will cOme out soon and Instead
of murmurings and unjust accusations
and baseless suspicions, the president
will have .the triumphant acclamation
of a grateful, if now deluded people.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
Suppose the president had adhered
to a free trade policy with the Puerto
Rlcans? What would have happened?
The most rabid and rancorous Demo
cratic opposition. "It was a conces
sion to the Standard Oil trust; It meant
that the Sugar trust and the Tobacco
trust absolutely controlled the Repub
lican party; it was a bold and corrupt
deal with these corporations for cam
paign funds." All this and a great deal
more the Democrats were ready to
say. i Free trade with Puerto Rico,
they would have said, meant that
PuertofRIco was de facto and de jure
a part'of the United States and that Its
thousands of black savages were clti
eens of this country. They were ready
to roar themselves hoarse In saylnff
that free trade waB a declaration of
citizenship and Irrevocably committed
the Republican party to the senseless
dogma of Imperialism. They were
ready to charge the president with
flagrant usurpation, and Suiter, It Is
said, had a resolution of Impeachment
leady charging the president with
.usurping the functions of 'congress
upon the Democratic theory that the
president's free trade recommendation
was tantamount to a declaration of
sovereignty over Puerto Rico which
belonged to congress as one of the co
ordinate 'branches of the government.
What an opportunity was lost? What
caloric political calculations were up
set? Disappointed and chagrined, they

PROSPECTS for a professional ball
team for Scranton In the Atlan
, tlo league took a wonderful rlsa
yesterday. Thursday the Idea
had been practically abandoned,
and M. E. Sanders, who was engaged
In furthering the scheme here, gave
out as his opinion that sufficient funds
could not be raised, and that the com
ing season would behold no team in
Scranton.
Yesterday, at the meeting of the di
rectors of the teams which will mako
up. a league, In Allentown, Scranton
was represented by. proxy, President
Fogel taking care of the local end of
the deal, as .the result of a conversa
tion he, had over the long distance tele
phone with Mr. Sanders. Renewed ef
forts will be made to raise the.neces
ary amount to start a team, and
Wednesday or Thursday of next week
President Fogel and Walter Burnham,
of Portland, Me., will visit the city and
confer with local enthusiasts. Mr.
Burnhaip. who Is a tried and experi
enced base ball manager, would be
glad to be at the helm of a nine In
Scranton and would be willing to In
vest largely in It himself.
He Is well and favorably known to
the base ball publto throughout the
country, and has managed successfully
several teams In the New England
league, and was also at one time man
ager of the Louisville club. He has
several players under reservation, and
it Is reasonably thought that with a
man of his ability at the head of a
feam, and, moreover, being financially
Jumped on the constitution. It made
no difference whether the speaker was
a "constitutional" lawyer, a "constitu
tional" ' school teacher, a "constitu
tional" politician or whether he was
author, writer, publicist, farmer, mer
chant, "baker or candlestick maker,"
he expounded the constitution. It
made no difference that a few years
ago he was shooting bullets Into It)
In this crisis he was holding it high
above the Capitol dome swearing that
the "constitution followed the flag,"
that the flag meant cttlsenshlp, that
Puerto Rlcans are eltliens of the
United States, that the Philippine sav
ages are citizens, hence "Imperialism."
Now If there is one Republican In
the whole country who has even the
bare suspicion of a doubt as to the
wisdom, Justice, common sense and
good politics of the president's inten
tions and purposes in the prompt, de
cisive and honest adjustment of all
these questions, political or economic,
it may be dismissed. It took nearly
twenty-five years to settle thtf simple
question of honesty Involved In our
financial policy, but it was settled on
Wednesday by a Republican congress
and a Republican president. It Is
simply a question of good faith, com
mon honesty and constitutional meth
ods In deatlng with Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, and the American peo
ple will trust the Republican admin
istration to settle them.
THE LEISURELY SENATE.
There is not the slightest doubt of
the determination of tho Republicans
to meet the demands for Immediate
notion In reference to Puerto Rico.
The duties collected from the Puerto
Rlcans will be restored as soon as it
suits the easy-going senate to pass the
house measure looking to that end. It
ought to have passed today, but it did
not. Nothing is In the way- of It but
tho senate's everlasting way ot doing
business. The Hawallans were suffer
ing from lire and pestilence but the
senate discussed the proposition to
extend tho necessary aid nearly two
wpeks.
So the Quay case ought to have been
disposed of long before this. That he
will be seated Is hardly doubted now
by the most skeptical of the opposition,
but there Is a way to keep him out of
his seat and deny Pennsylvania th.
constitutional rights to representation
In the senate by dilatory action. Any
old pretext, whether plausible or not,
is dug up, first by one senator and
then by another, to postpone the final
consideration of the case. Exasper
ated, at the condition of things, Sena
tor Penrose was provoked yesterday to
address some very strong language to
Senator Galllnger. It was a misunder
standing, possibly, but the final under
standing was made too plain for any
one to doubt what the two senators
meant when they gave each other the
plain, common, everyday He.
The senate was dreadfully shocked;
and it looked for a time like a fight.
Galllnger opposes Quay because, It Is
said, his colleague, Senator Chandler,
is on the Quay side. These two senai
tors make it a point never to vote on
the same Bide of any question that will
admit of a non-party vote. They do
not speak to each other except on Im
portant official business and they talk
in monosyllables, meanwhile looking In
opposite directions.
Senator Quay has returned to Wash
lngton. He appears to be In the very
best of spirits and expresses himself
as absolutely certain of an early vote
and of being seated.
REPRESENTATIVE CONNELL.
If Mr. George Nox McClatn, staff
correspondent ot the Philadelphia
Press, could be norsuaded to take a
day off, come to Washington and spend
It with Representative Connell, ha
would doubtless think that instead of
being an ex-congressman Mr. Conneii
Is very much of a live congressman.
He would, reluctantly perhaps, agree
that Lackawanna has never had In
congress a more conscientious, faith
ful, Industrious, or vigilant represen
tative in Washington than Mr. Con
nell. At 8.30 a. m. the Press correspondent
would And him at his office engrossed
with his mail. If the walking should
be good, the aforesaid correspondent
would And his locomotion severely
taxed before he reached the capltoi.
After his dally departmental visits, he
goes promptly to the capitol and Is
always there at noon when the house
convenes. If not detained on account
of some public party qustlon, the Press
corerspondent will find him either in
his committee room or employed In
some Investigation in the Agricultural
department, or busy with some ques
tion under consideration before the
committee on mines and mining. In
the evening the Press correspondent
will look In vain In the hotel lobby or
the cafes for the Scranton congress
man. Upon the whole, he is a very, very
busy man for an "ex-congressman"
and as busy as the liveliest represen
tative in this congress.
So well Informed a newspaper writer
as Mr. McClain ought to know all this.
And he ought to know, what everybody
else knows, that it will probably be
some time before "ex" is written bp
fore Representative Connell's name.
Mr. McClaln's letter In yesterday's
Press, under a Scranton date of March
14, was read by Mr. Connell today.
NEWS OF THF WORLD OF SPORT
Interested neisonally, base ball heie
will have a most successful season.
A well-known local base ball man,
whose absence from the city during the
week served to cast a gloom upon
prospects, will also be back again and
Is expected to give his support to the
club. Strenuous efforts will be taado
by President Fogel and the other mag
nates to give Scranton a team, as In
case there Is no local nine, Wilkes
Barre will not go Into the league
either. Two thousand, three hundred
dollars has been pledged for a down
the valley nine, but unless Scranton Is
In the league, the Coal Barons will not
enter the circuit.
Mr, Sanders will now call on the
various parties Interested It) the move
ment and renew the work of securing
subscriptions.
Strikes and Spares.
THE game scheduled tor lait night
at Wllkei-Barre between the
West End, club of that city and
the Elks was postponed until Tuesday,
and as a result the question as to who
carries oft first place in the league will
remain unsolved until then.
After last Tuesday's game between
the Backus and Bicycle club teams tho
result was as follows, tlia Elks and
West End teams having not ye( played
their full quota of' simes howeter:
Baekus, J3,8( Bicycle club, 11,313;
Elks, M.287; West End club, H,W4. The
Elks are likely to bowl another of their
high games and the championship,
The whole story, Mr. Connell said, In
his quiet, good-natured way, Is made
up with the least possible basis to sup
port It, so far as any reference to him
In it Is concerned- The old story about
the "machine" Is a very old one, ho
says, and the Press correspondent has
got so In the habit of writing about it
that his effusions on the subject are
perfectly harmless, and everybody in
Pennsylvania who reads them under
stands his fores as a versatile writer
of Action. Mr. Connell expresses soma
regret that the correspondent's weak
ness in this regard led him Into the
fatuous error of writing htm down as
an "ex-congressman," because some
body, possibly, who does know the cor
respondent's distinguished characteris
tics, might infer his retirement to the
luxury and ease of private life.

noon service. A very appropriate poem
entitled "Reunions," written and read
by the Rev. P. R. Tower, of Thomp

REUNIONS.
By Rev. pr. Tower, and Read by Him
at (he Reunion of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, FactoryvlIe,March
IS, 1900.
Reunions! Yes, in olden times,
God's children oft did meet.
With those who loved the Lord our
God,
And worshipped at His feet;
They told their story o'er and o'er
'xney praised our God most high,
And He, well pleased to feel their joys,
MoBt graciously drew nigh.
As Iron maketh Iron sharp,
The countenance of friends.
Doth make the heartsick glad again,
And Joy and comfort sends,
In every age has oome good cheer,
And strength and vim and dare,
By touching elbows now and then,
With those who burdens share.
Yes, it Is well to greet our friends.
Our friends of long ago.
To feel again their friendly grasp
And catch their eyes' bright glow;
To list once moro their words of cheer,
And see their bosoms swell,
With love to God. and all mankind,
As they their story tell.
How, when to Him they lift their eyes,
All streaming down with tears,
He shines away the darkest cloud,
And quells all needless tears;
How God hath brought them all tho
way
Through storms and pleasant place
And conflicts fierce to victory
Through His abounding grace.
How, when
their earthly house seems
rraii,
And totters toward the tomb,
They feel His Resurrection Power,
And find In death no gloom;
They see the opening heavens above,
. All glorious and -bright,
They hear their Savior calling them
To share 'the Saint's Delight."
They bide their time thus living with
Our Savior and our king,
And while their steps halt feebly on,
Their hearts, all Joyful, sing
Redemption's song thro' Christ the
Lamb
From sin and death set free
The song the angels brought to earth
Best song for you and me.
Then let us meet when'er we can,
Our old friends and the new.
And do pur best to strengthen them,
n
heir Journey to mirsue:
These times are few to some of us,
The moments fly apace,
soon wm join
the bloodwashed
tnrong,
And ever Bee His face.
Reunions! Yes. We haste to one,
Why should we be so slow?
We have more friends beyond the flood
Than greet us here below:
Then let us watch and work and trust.

which Is to be decided by the total
number of pins scared, will thtfrcfaro
probably go to them.
The Backus team stands alone with
out a single defeat to its name, and
bowled a clean, steady game through
out the entire tournament They put
the same five men Into every game, not
making a eincle change In their per
sonnel. Although they only once
reached the 800 mark, that occasion
being at Wilkes-Barre, when they
scored 813 In one of the matches, they
have rolled a uniform, consistent style
of game and come through the league
with flying colors.
The Elk team on the contrary did not
bowl such a steady game, but rolled
ot times very heavy scores, on several
occasions going over the fQO mark. In
their last game on their own alleys,
with the Bicycle club, they averaged
709 1-3 for the three games, and In their
first game with the West End cufo
went even higher by scoring, in the
first match 838, In the second 739 and
In the third 848, a total of 2,425, and
an average of 8081-3.
This was the game, however, In

was at first contested by the Bicycle

however, in the refusal of the ex

what will be the outcome it is inter

big demand for McQraw, nearly cery
team in the league being after the
pugnacious little baseman. New York
wanted him, Chicago was eager to se
cure him, and several other magnates

sign him.
St. Louis will need the servl:ej of

The Pittsburg team is causing

there being pitchers enough alone for

Among the Pugs.
IN SPEAKING of the fight to take
place at the Hawthorne club in
Buffalo, between Mike Donovan
and Jim Judge, the well-known local
fighter, Maurice Adams, sporting editor
of the Rochester Herald, says:
"In Jim Judge, Donovan will bat e a
hard man to contend with. Judge has
been up against all the "top-notchers,
and although he haa.hadjjto. B. content
with the short cndoC'th money, on
one or two occasions, k.4ias alwaye
given a good account ef ftltntelf. He
fought "Mysterious Billy" Smith nine
teen of the hardest rounds. the Sfya
terloua one ever engaged ln. Smith
won by knocking out his man, but up
to thp moment the decisive blow was
struck, It was nip and tuck as to who
would be tho winner. After this Judge
was matched to fight Joe Walcott, the
appropriately named 'Black Demon.'
He lost to Walcott, tout only after giv
ing the black 'un the fiercest kind of
an argument.
"These two battlea serve . to show
what kind of game Donovan b going
against. Mike Is mora than confident
of his ability to dispose of the Scran
ton man Inside the limit of ''twenty
rounds., Donovan has been training
for a week endeavoring to get oft
enough weight to be able to meet
lounge, therefore he will not do much
work In preparing for Judge. A large
party of local followers of the flstlo
game will go to Buffalo with Donovan,"
