The debate upon the Porto Rico tariff bill, which is to continue throughout the week and possibly' longer, opened in the house Monday. On. all bands it is agreed that this bill, though it applies1 only to .Porto Rico, involving as it does the ques ,tion of the power to govern our new pos ' sessions outside the limitations of the 'constitution, is the most important meas ure which will come before this congress. Interest in the bill is intense among the members on both sides and there is en urgent demand for time. The Democrats are solidly arrayed againsttbe measure, and they will bavepowerful support from the Republican side in Mr.McCall, of Mas eachueetts, and Mr. Littlefleld, of Maine, both able " and forceful debaters. How far the Republican disaffection will ex tend or whether it will endanger the bill, it Is impossible to say at this time. . MAORUM WOtJLD TESTIFY.
