HOUSE PASSED PORTO RICO BILL. 0en- Roberts Reports Continued - ' !. Fighting, Enemy Attack Concurred in All Senate ments After a Long Bitter Struggle. Atqend and t THE" PACIFIC CABLE BILL Adopted by the Senate Three Million n-ti.. 1..I.4.J f- f i tloa of the Line from San Fran- , r CISCO tO HoOOlolO. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, April 11. With lit tle debate of importance the Senate to-day passed the Pacific Cable bill, a measure appropriating $3,000,003 for the construction of a cable line be tween San Francisco and Honolulu. The bill was unanimously reported by the Committee on Naval Affairs. During the greater part of the ses sion, the District of Columbia appro priation bill was under consideration. As passed it carries nearly $7,457,755. A resolution was- adopted calling upoTTthe President, i not incompati ble with the public interest, to inform the Senate whether any persons have been executed by garrote iu Porto Rico since the United States authori ties have been in control of the island, and if so why that system was em ployed in the execution. A bill to estabhW a fish hatching and fish station in West Virginia was passed. ' Mr. Burrows, Michigan, rose to speak on the Quay resolution, but de ferred his speech till to morrow to permit consideration of the District bill. Without any important change the District bill was passed. The Pacific cable bill was then taken up. It provides for a cable from San Francisco to Honolulu, the work to be done under the supervi sion of the Navy Department, which hamarfA snrvnvn and rtatrminri th Eracticability of ths route. The Navy department may use any of its "ships tbat can be adapted to the task of lay ing the cable, and if it needs other ships it may charter them, or may make proper contracts for the work. All materials, etc., under Section 5, are to be of American manufacture, unless the cost is above 12 per cent, over the foreign markets. Mr. Hale explained that the line pro vided for was in the nature of an ex periment, upon whose result would depend the government's future cour.-e. It might be deemed best to start 4-he Philippine cable from some, point like Seattle and proceed to Ja pan by the northern route. Senator Pettus moved to strike out Section 5 of the bill. He said it was absurd that the government should consent to be taxed on its own busi ness for the benefit of certain manu facturers. Senator Tillman, South Carolina, as a member of the Naval Committee, de fended the bill and the report, in which all the Democratic members of the committee had joined. He deemed it a .desirable experiment in govern ment ownership and control, and ex pressed the opinion that it might prove a good thing for Alabama. "Up to this date," said Senator Pet tus, ''Alabama will not accept your bribe. I have seen one great State .near mine accept the sugar bottle, and I don't like it." . Senator Tillman disclaimed any effort to bribe either Senator Pettus or the Slate of Alabama; but he was anxious to increase the struggling iron and steel industries of Alabama, and hoped to seethe day when a govern ment armor plate factory would be located in Alabama. Senator Pettus' amendment was de feated 11 to 38 and the bill passed without division. A bill was passed appropriating $100, 000 to establish a branch home of the National Home for. Disabled Volun teer Soldiers at Castle Pinckney, Charleston harbor, S. C. A 5 15 P. M. the Senate adjourned. Honse of Representatives. The long and bitter struggle over the Porto Rican tariff bill ended to day when the House by a vote- of 161 to 153 concurred in all the Senate amendments. The bill now requires onlv the signature of the Speaker of the House apd the president of the Senate before going to the President for his aDDroval. These signatures will be attached to morrow and before nightfall the bill probably will be a law. As the bill originally passed the House it was a simple bill imposing 15 per cent, of the Diugley rates on goods going into Porto Rico from the United States and coming from Porto Rico into the United States. As amended by the Senate and to-day agreed to by the House, all restrictions on goods coming into the United States from Porto Kico are eliminated and certain food stuffs and other articles which heretofore have gone into Porto Rico free by executive order are excluded from the operation of the 15 per cent, duty imposed on goods entering the island from the United States. A com plete scheme of civil -government' for the island is also attached to the mea sure. Upon the final vote nine Repub lit ans voted against the bill : Messrs, ' Heatwole of Minnesota, Crumpacker of Indiana. Lane of Iowa, Lattleneld of Maine. McCall of Massachusetts, H G. Smith of Michigan. Warner of Il linois, Fletcher of Maine, and Lori mer of Illinois. Two Democrals, Messrs. Davey apd Meyer of Louisiana, were paired with Democrats in favor of the bill, and one Democrat, Mr. Sibley of Pennsyl vania. voted for it outright. Mr. Dev ries. the other Democrat who voted for the original bill, to-day voted against concurrence. Mr. Stallings, Democrat, Alabama, was the , only member on either side absent and un paired. The vote came at five o'clock after a very interesting and at times exciting debate of five hours, which covered not only the bill but the special order under which the House acted.

Qatacre Relieved of tils Com mand Portugal's Action. By Cable to the Horning Btar. London, April 12, 5 A. M. There is little fresh intelligence from the seat of war in South Africa. It looks as though Lord Roberts may be prepar ing to take a strong force to clear the Boers from behind him. A Cape Town dispatch says he will not move for another week, owing, to the necessity of gathering stores and supplies. Sir William Gatacre's sudden 0 re moval is the theme of much specula tion. The curt manner in which it is announced causes much comment. The general impression is that it is con nected with the Reddersburg affair, although there are many who consider that there must be something more se rious, as otner generals in ooutn Africa have been retained in command after blunders more formidable than Ga tacre s ine war umce nas received no news of the death of Colonel Baden Powell, and utterly discredits the ru roor.

There are now fifteen grandsons of 11 t 1 - r l r ? i iuo jlucuchs oi ioercorn serving wiin the British forces. The Bloemfontein correspondent of tne morning Irost, telegraphing lues day, says: "The Boers to the southwest are ex hibiting indecision of movement, pos sibly in consequence of our occupa tion of the railway. "Bodies of the enemy are still mov ing from Win burg southward through Thaba N'Chu. Their destination has not yet been ascertained. The Boers in the neighborhood of Paardeberg show no disposition to in terrupt our communication, with Kim' 1 m . m a. oeriey, irom wnicn point convoys are stiu arriving." . London. April 11. Lord Roberts wires to the War Office from Bloem fontem, under date of Tuesday. April lUth. as follows: The enemy have been very active during the past few days. One com mando is now on the north bank of the Orange river," not far from Aliwal North, while another is attacking We pener. The garrison there is holding out bravely and inflicted serious loss on the Boers. Major Springe, of the mounted rifles was killed. No other casualties have been reported as yet The troops are being moved up rapid ly. A patrol of six men of , the seventh dragoons, under Lieutenant Wether ley, wnicn naa been reported missing since April 7th, has returned safely." As the foregoing does not mention the alleged British reverse on Satur day at Merkatsfontein, the Boer tele grams are not credited at the War Of fice and they are further discredited on account of the discrepancies in the dispatches, at Meerfcatsiontein in one message is located near Brandfort, and in another it is located southeast of Bloemfontein, the places being 100 miles apart. . Gen. Qatacre Removed. General Gatacre's ' return to Eng land is accepted as being in the nature of a recall, though no reason is given for it and it will be associated in the public mind with the lack of success, Lord Roberts criticised his manage ment of the Stormberg attack and pos sibly Gatacre having reached there an hour and a half too late to rescue the Reddersburg force may have decided his return. Ueneral Rundle, seemingly, sue ceeds General Gatacre, and, according to a dispatch from Bloemfontein the coma anders of several brigades-are about to be changed. The Rueter Telegram Company's correspo dent at Aliwal North wiring at 9.30 thi3 morning, says: "There is no further news from Wepener. Too cloudy to heliograph. More British troops are arriving." It is learned that the Boer govern ments have formally notified Portugal that they consider the shipping of British troops and munitions of war to Rhodesia by way of Beira, Portuguese East Africa, to be tantamount to hos tile action. This, however, will not stop General Sir Frederick Camng tou's force from entering Rhodesia. - Whether or not the Boers will make reprisals upon Portugal remains to be seen, though the best informed opinion here inclines to the belief that the Boers are not likely to back up their Drotest with action that would bring them into hostilities with still another power. . ! Metboen and Buller Report. T.rvwnnw Anril 11 ThA Wfti Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: 'Bloemfontein. April 11. Methuen reports that the party of Boers defeat ed April 5th made a good resistance for four hours and only gave in when our troops with fixed bayonets were within fifteen yards of them. Seven of the enemy were killed, eleven wounded and fifty-one were taken nrisoners. Besides Lieutenants Boyle and Williams, Sergeant Patrick Uamp bell was killed and ten of our men were wounded. Williams was killed deliberately after the white flag had been held up. The perpetrator of the crime was at once shot. 'Methuen speaks in nigh, terms of the intelligent manner in which the imperial yeomanry and the Kimberley mounted men Defrayed. "Buller reports that the enemy at tacked his right flank yesterday while he was engaged in changing his posi tion, but our artillery silenced their puns and thev did not press the attack, Our losses were four men killed and eicht men wounded. "There is nO further news yet from Wepener." - Fighting at Elandslaagte. Ladysmith, April 10. The Boers opened fire this morning early, send ing shells into the British camp at Elandslaagte from three positions widely separated. The shells did no damage. The troops moved out to reconnoitre and found the Boers in strong force and well fortified. A naval 4.7 inch gun replied to the Boers, Who have again placed a long Tom in position. When the Boers commenced shell ing the British were drilling, and one private was killed and another wound ed before, the soldiers were with drawn from range. Then the paval brigade opened fire and drew a heavy Boer fusilade, and two of the cruiser Philomel's gunners were killed. The naval men stuck to their positions, however, and the Boers unmasked six guns, including a hundred-pounder and -shells fell in alUhe British camps.

Representative Roberts, of Massachu setts, who has in charge the majority report in the Pearson-Crawford case, to day said that he did not think he would call the matter up before at least two weeks, as he does not wish to an tagonize appropriations and other im portant measures. Daniel E. Patrick, of Gold Hill, N. C, was to-day appointed a super visor of the U. S. census. The Democratic members of the North Carolina delegation to-day voted solidly against the Porto Rican bill. Representative Small arrived just in time to vote, and for some time was kept busy giving out Aycock buttons, of which he had a pocket-full. He re ported everything harmonious ii the Tar Heel State, and predicted the elec tion of the entire Democratic ticket by an overwhelming majority. . The dele gation with their Aycock badges created a eood deal of attention and curiosity on both sides of the house. Bobbed. The Grave.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Charleston, S. C, April 11. The Cassie Boon murder case on trial at Chesterfield, this State, has gpne to the jury and a verdict is expected to night. The attorneys lor tne aeience were so elated over tne weakness or the testimony given by one of the four accused men who turned State's evidence that they put up no witness. Solicitor! Johnson, for the rotate, was at his best. The line of defence is that the woman was drunk, fell in the fire and thus caused her own . death. On the other hand if conviction fol lows it will be the verification of the guilt of a horrible crime. The woman was nait inaian ana was of bad repute and whiskey was the immediate cause of the tragedy or crime. The verdict depends very much on the estimate the jury puts upon medical expert testimony. mt ' Editor's Awful PII2I1I. F. M. Higeins, Editor Seneca, (111.)

Pollock died March 8tth, 4 P. M., 1900. age 68 years and 7 days, leavlrg a devoted husband, loving daughter and a host of friends to mourn her departure, not her loss, because she awaits them, radiant and trans figured, with a smiling face, from which tbe angel greetings and the heavenly melodies have chased the traces of human pain. She belonged to the clden period, whose man were gentlemen and whose women were uod's royal qnet- ns. What a void their departure makes and how impossible that earth and time should fill it. How it fills ns with an Inexpressible longing to fly away and be with them and like them in those el y flan fields of eternal calm. - "Blessed are the pure in heart," saith Jesi, "for they shall see God." Ah ! then what bliss Is hers, whose heart was so pure and whose life was so full of love. Oh! daughter, be not dismayed! Oh! husband, whose bleeding heart no earthly words can comfort, tbe wings of time are s witter han the wings of sorrow, and as tbe dark doors of death swing wide, they (men upon a marvellous scene. ine sneering ana u and unimaginable radiance of eternal life.
