I , A Sweeping Victory for the Re publicans in the House of Representatives. AFTER A VERY HARD FIQHT. The Hawaiian Gevernment BUI Consid ered in the Senate McLaurlo's Speech in Pavor of Expansion. i ne financial dm. By Telegraph to the Mernlng Star. Washington, February 28. Not; withstanding the agreement made by the Senate to vote on the. Hawaiian government bill at to day's session, the final vote on the measure was postponed until 4 o'clock to-morrow. Praeticallv no progress was made on the bill to day, although it was under consideration nearly four hours. Mr. A. Id rich explained the conference on the Finaucial bill. One of the mendmeuts authorizing the gold leserve to be held in bullion as well as in gold coin was added, because the facilities for the coinage of gold would not at present admit of coining the told in sufficient quantity to maintain at all time-the reserve in gold coin. The provision prohibiting the use of band proceeds to pay current govern ment expenses was due to the appre t r i.sim of the Housu conferees that a so-called endless chain might be established. He said the authority to suspend ' the issue of certificates when United States notes auu silver ceruncatea in me general fund exceed sixty millions dollars, was simply another waj of protecting the reserve, The issue first of silver certificates of small denominations was to avoid any possible contraction of th currency. The additional coin aga of $20,000,000 of subsidiary silver was to meet expected later needs of our island possessions. The authority for banks to issue one third of their circulating not a in denominations of five dollars was agreed to because b inks in remote parts of the country needed agood deal of currency iu feirtall bills to accommodate customers. Concerning the bimetallic amend ment, Mr, Aldrich said the position taken by the United States was that bimetallism was now impossible except by international agreement The Philippine Question. Mr. McLaurin, South Carolina, was then recognized to speak on the Philip pine question. He said : "In the dis cussion of thi3 question there has been manifested a disposition to ignore the ni-iYiHitijiria hvnhih vita arA o.nn f ifkin t.pri . .... j . . and to project the debate upon a liue of political sentimentalism.' This mode of discussion is not only unpatriotic, but is an evasion of the true issue. This is not a political question. . Senator McLaurin strongly depreca ted the position which the Democr tic party had taken in making the Philip pine question and expansion a political issue. He pointed to the past to show that some of the- greatest Democrats who ever lived were expansionists and to prove by their acts and measures that if it had not been for them the United States would not have been the i He took the ground that the Phil ippines are rignuuiiy ana legally ours by-wthn treaty of Paris and that the United States should hold them, af fording the Filipinos every opportu nity to acquire the art of government and giving them all the powers and rights possible in the circumstances. He dwelt particularly on the great op portunities afforded by the islands for trade between Americans and the .jlation of the Orient. He did not agree with some of his collea ues on the Democratic side that our trade in the East was a mere figment of theim agination. Ho quoted statistics to prove that the experience of the last decade contradicted those who assert ed that oar eastern trade was not of immeuse consequence. '-'It is in the Orient." said he, "that we must look for markets. There must be a chansre in our policv. We must enter into competition for this trade. We must as a nation recognize changed conditions, and I believe that by holding the Philippines, our trade iu the Orient will continue to increase until all surplus products for years to come will find remunerative markets ' in the East." Mr. McLaurin then discussed the special interest -pf the South in the ex- - pansion of our trade. "1 am glad," said he, "to believe that the Southern people have determined to investigate and study this question rather' than to be led blindly by political anti expan sionists. Toe Southern farmer by the increased price received for raw cotton last year has become aroused. Fealty to party and misleading information, I fear, has produced among them op position to territorial expansion. "The effort has been made in my own State to suppress all information and arouse public sentiment against expansion. The frightful ghost of 'imperialism' has been held up before the people of the South to frighten them, but I believe it is impossible much longer to thus mislead them.' flanOTA f T .011 x i n oairl i v o lr V ing the progress of the South during the past twenty years, that the blight of negro suffrage and negro domina- , tion had almost extinguished hope and energy and manly effort, but like a giant bound with fetters she aroused . herself at last and again started upon an era of industrial life. "Capital has flowed into that sec tion," said he. "There , is confidence in all Southern enterprises. The bit ter memories of the past are being for gotten in the rush for the develop ment of our resources. Our people feel that they are again a part of this great country and are left free and , untrammelled to work out their own destiny. Our Southern manufacturers have already reached out to the mar kets of the Orient and discovered their advantages. The Southern farmer needs such markets for his raw cotton to make its production remunerative. "By the acquisition of the Philip pines we hold the key to. the Eastern - situation. We need not rely solely upon treaty rights to secure the "open door," but can demand equal commer cial opportunity with other nations, and if necessary, with the vantage ground we ' have, assert that de mand. Will the United States throw away the golden opportunity by. giv ing up the opportunities. I am in favor of holding them, and I believe thft Southern fnrmfro a Tirl vino nnfnn. - uinuuiau turers will sustain me in my position. I believe further that the presence of the United States and of its flag, the emblem of human freedom, progress and civilization, will carry to the mil lions in the Orient unnumbered bless ings, which in the coming years will be for their betterme it and ameliora tion and will conduce to the perpetuity and glory of ur free institutions and the commercial supremacy of the na- tion. , The Hawaiian Bill. Consideration of the Hawaiian gov ernment bill was resumed. Mr. Allen made a general attack upon the bill, He declared that the Republican party was "actuated by a wild and unrestricted dream of power." Mr. Teller, Colorado, offered an THE TARIFF BILL FOR PORTO RICO. amendment to the section of the bill, providing judges who thould hsve full jurisdiction orf-r all national utv ters, except tin be lelntmg to admir ! ality. The discussion of lira .x.mend ment continued for two hours i.d ! half. j Senator Morgan. Alabama, in cob- eluding a long speecb.declared that he Would prefer to see the bill defeated rather than to have it passed in its present crippled and emasculated form. The bill went over and a final vote on the measure and amendment will be taken at 4 o'clock to-morrow. The Senateat 6 P. M. adjourned. House of Representatives. Washington, February 28. The battle royal oyer the Porto Rican tariff bill ended in the House to day in a sweeping victory for the Republicans. The bill amended, as agreed upon at the conference of Republicans on Mon day niebt, so as to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 per cent, of the Ameri can tariff and limiting its life to ten years,- was passed by a vote of 172 veas to 161 nays. Six Republicans M ssrs. Oum packer, of Indiana; Fletcher, of Minnesota; Heatwole, of Minnesota; Liittleheld, of Maine; Lorimer, of Illinois, and McCall, cf Massachusetts voted with the oppo sition against the bill, and. four Democrats Messrs Davey and Myer, of , Louisiana; Devries, of Cali fornia, and Sibley, of Pennsyl vania, voted with the Republican for the bill. In addition, Mr. Warner, Republican, of Illinois, was paired against the. bill with Mr. Boutelle, Re publican, of Maine, for it. Two other Republicans, Mr. Lane, of Iowa, and Mr. Far is, of Indiana, were absent and unpaired. They were understood to be against the bill. Four Democrats who were opposed to the bill, Messrs. Fleming, xf Georgia; Small, of North Carolina; . Smith, of Keutucky, and Stallfngs, of Alabama, were absent and unpaired. Other purs for the bill were Messrs. Gibson, of Tennessee ; Reeves, of Illinois; Boutelle, of Maine; Har--mer, of Pennsylvania; Bailey, of Kau 6fts; Sheldon, of Michigan, and Wadi worth, of New York, all Republicans, with Messrs. Tate, of Georgia; Spark man, of Florida; Fox, of Mississippi; Bellamy, of North Carolina; Cox, of Tennessee, and Epes, of Virginia, Democrats, all against the bill. Hur culeau efforts had been made to get out the full vote and this led to some remarkable' incidents.' Six men were brought from beds of sickness; two of them from hospitals, ar. Browniow, of Tennessee, was brought in a carriage accompanied by his wife and phjsician. He sat bundled up near the entrance until bis vote was given and then withdrew. It was felt that the strain would be severe on him, but when Mr. TawDey, the Re publican wnip, urged that the bill might be lost by this one vote, Mr. Browniow said: "I would rather lose my life than see this bill defeated." Mr. Tawney and three assistants were out in carriages until midnight last night accounting for every vote, and Mr. Underwood, the Democratic whip,- wes similarly exerting every means . to get out his vote. Three Democrats were brought from .sick beds. The first test to-day was on a subs titute offered by Mr. McCall on behalf of the opposition. It was the original Payne bill for free trade with Porto Rico, and was defeated 160 to 174 Only five Republicans voted for the substitute. Mr. Fletcher. Republican, Minnesota, who subsequently voted to recommit and against the bill, voted against the substitute. A motion to recommit it which followed, shared a similar fate being lost 160 to 172. There was great excitement through out the roll calls, which were followed with eager interest by thousands of spectators who packed the galleries to suffocation. TheR epUiblicans indulged (na semonstration or wild ju Dilation wEenthe final result was announced Immediately after the reading of the journal the clerk began reading the bill for amendment under the five minute rule. When Section III was reached, Mr. Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, offered the following substitute for this sec tion : "Section III. That on and after the passage of this act all merchandise coming into the United States from Porto " Rico and coming into Porto Rico from the United States shall be entered at the several ports of entry upon payment of 15 per cent, of the duties which are required to be levied collected and paid upon like articles of merchandise imported from foreign countries; and, in addition thereto, upon articles of merchandise of Porto Rican manufacture coming into the United States and withdrawn for con sumption or sale upon payment of a tax equal to the internal revenue tax im posed in the United States upon the like articles of merchandise of domes tic manufacture; such tax to be paid by internal revenue stamps, or stamps to be purchased and provided by the commissioner of internal revenue and to be procured from the collector of internal ' revenue at or most conve nient to the port of entry of said mer ehandise into the United States, and to be affixed under such regulations as the commissioner of internal reve nue, with the approval of the Secre tary of the Treasury, shall prescribe; and on all articles of merchandise of United States manufacture coming into Porto Rico in addition to the duty above provided in payment of a tax equal in rate and amount to the internal revenue tax imposed in Porto Rico upon like' articles of Porto Rican manufacture ,l Mr. Payne explained that the substi tute reduced the "duty from twenty five to fifteen per cent, and also re moved some confusion regarding double taxation. Mr. Payne said he still believed, however, that twenty five per cent. - would be better. He said the amendment to the bill prob ably would raise about $1,250,000 per annum. Mr. Berry, of Kentucky, said the amendment proposed petty instead of grand larceny of the people of Porto Rico. He ridiculed the laborious de bate through which the House had passed over the question of what the "United States" meant under the con stitution. Mr. Dearmond, of Missouri, called attention to the peculiar language of the substitute. The words "coming into the United States," he sai d, were plainly intended to evade the consti tution. But he argued that the "mar dering of the Queen's English," and the "violation of the canons of the language" could not make it constitu tional. v Mr. Grosvenor, Ohio, said that much of the opposition to the pending bill was due to the fact that it was misun derstood. Mr. Otey, "Virginia, convulsed the House and galleries by mimicking the mannerism of some of thetRepublican leaders, concluding with a parody upon the speech of Mr. Cannon, Illi nois, yesterday. The Payne amendment was adopted without division. Many members on both sides of the House made brief five- minute speeches, explaining their positions, ' ' That Throbbing Headadie.

GREAT REJOICING IN GREAT BRITAIN Over flen. Roberts' Victory and the Surrender of the Boer , ! Forces Under Cronje. j BUT THE WAR IS NOT ENDEDT The Best Opinion is That the Transvaalers Will Continue the Fight With Undi minished Vigor Their Forces Are' Now Concentrating. By Cable te the Morning Star. London, February 28, 4.30 A. M. From John O'Groats to Land's End there has been cheering to-day for the Queen and a universal singing of the national anthem. This was mutual congratulations day and the Briton's way of celebrating the most cheerful day of the war. Already . he is taking stock of the situation and measuring the future. There is no disposition to over esti mate the- success. The governtnt-nt entertains no illusions. As announced in the House of Commons, 10,000 ad ditional troops will immediately go out and the effective will be kept near 200,000. : Lord Roberts has done more than lo capture 4,000 Boers and a few gu&s. He is within striking distance of one of the Boer capitals and is master of a large district of the Free State H has given a shock to Boer confidence and immeasurably restored the spirit of his own troops. In capturing Cron je he has taken a leader whose pres ence aloi'C was worth thousands to the Boer cause. The best opinion here is that the Transvaalers are certain to continue the fight with undiminished valor, but it is not so certainahout the Free Staters. Gen. Bailer's Movements London, February 27. A letter has been received from a man in the First dragoons, now in South Africa, con firming the report that a supply trans port reached Ladysmith during the engagement at Spion kop. He sa;, s the dragoons were the escort of the transport, which was s-;vn miles long, and adds: "That is why Buller engaged the enemy at Spiou kop. Old Buller kiiows what he is doing, and all are willing to follow him in spite of his reverses." . Mojuba Avenged. - London, February 27. "Majuba avenged," Cronje surrenders, "Great British Victory." These are the ex pressions being shouted all over Lon don to day, jet there are few outward signs of the natural joy that Lord Roberts' dispatch " har really caused; The capitulation of General Cronje bad been looked upon as almost a cer tainty for a week past, and now that it nas come, enthusiasm finds itself dis ocunted by anticipation. The magnitude of the success of "little Bob" is almost overlooked in the fact that it synchronized with the anniversary of Majuba Hill and wiped out a dishonor of .nineteen years stand ing. There was a much more outward display of rejoicing in the provinces than in London. The Glasgow and Liverpool Stock Exchanges were greatly excited. The members sang "God Save The Queen," repeatedly and cheered for "Little Bob." Flags were liberally displayed on the muni cipal and public buildings in all the large towns. Windsor was very jubilant at the news, which the Qaeen disseminated immediately after it reached her. She immediately telegraphed her congratu lations to Liord Roberts and the troops. The inhabitants seized the occasion of her majesty driving through the town on her way to take a train for a visit to the wounded South African soldiers at the Netley hospital, to make a demonstration . The Queen, who was looking remarkably well, showed event signs of deep satisfaction, smil ing continually and bowing in re sponse to the congratulatory cheers. Speculation is rue as to how soon Lord Roberts will be able to press on to Bloemfontein, but before he enters the capital of the Free State he will undoubtedly nave it overcome a powerful force and take strong en trenchments. Far From Ending the War. Paris, February 27, 6.30 P. M. The newspapers of this city pay the highest tribute to General Ccooie s valor and express the opinion that his surrender is far from ending the war. They add that it will only make the resistance of the Boer nation all the more desperate. Several pewspapers, however, urge that Great Britain accept mediation now that she has secured an important victory and stop further bloodshed . The Temps, in an article headed "Honor to Both Combatants," appeals to Great Britain to end the war.saymg "If England, once unfortunately en eased in this struggle, could not emerge by accepting the humiliation of defeat, it appears to us that she will do well and reconquer the sympathies of all nations, if, after having given proof of her superior strength, she knew how to stop herself and in doing so stop me scenes or tne 'destruction aud carnage now unfolding themselves in the Orange Free State.

The wildest excitement onthe Cotton Exchange in recent years prevailed to-day, transactions reach ing the enormous total of about one million bales.

At times so intense was the excitement brokers would be offering to buy cot ton at two to three points above the price at which others were ottering to sell it. While the demand was gen eral and largely ' from European sources, the features of the local mar ket was the insatiable demand from a Wall street concern reputed to be heavily short of March contracts and also reputed to have been a heavy sell er yesterday, in keeping with a large number of bearish dispatches which they sent forth yesterday.
