An Eloquent Plea fir the Filipinos. Some of the Evils of Our Own Government. Expansion Fever Abating. Law of Compensation. Washington, Jan. 10.-Sonator Mason, of Illinois, occupied the attention of the Senate for nearly an hour and a half to-day with a speech in support of his resolution declaring that the United States will never attempt to govern the people of any country without their con sent. In many respects the speech was one of the most notable utterances in the Senate thus far this senson. Rug nod in language, pointed and effective in illustration, Mr. Mason commanded the attention of the Senate and of the gal leries from the first sentence of hi* speech to the apostrophe to liberty which formed his peroration. Several times spontaneous applause swept over the galleries, but under the stringent rules of the Senate it was quelled quickly. It was several minutes after the conclu sion of the speech before the Senate could proceed with its business on ac count of the confusion incident to the congratulations which many of Mr. Ma son’s colleagues hastened to extend to him. “It is easy to drift with the tide.’ began Mr. Mason, but it is not always safe. It is pleasant to remain in the harbor when the storm is on, but some times the storm within the inner con science is more dangerous to peace of miud than the storm without the oavhoi is to human life. “The simple resolution I have intro duced has nothing necessarily to do with any treaty, so far as I am Informed, nor do I intend to speak of any proposed treaty. “The resolution I present docs not involve a question of law, but ’s question as to the future policy of this republic. My resolution recites the I)( e la ration of Independence. I do not apologize for the resolution—’, regret its necessity. 1 agree that you can, as Lin coin said, in the long run ir Ist the peo pie. I am willing to trust :!■.«• people, and I want the people to hear both sides of the ease before the verdict is rendered. “Distinguished editors and statesmen say the Republican party favors g»«'crn ing certain nations without the coiiseii' of its people. Who dares t peak in ad vance for the party that speaks only in its convention? That party sprang like a young giant from the worn t of con science and made its first fight for hu man liberty. It has never bowed to the storm of expediency, and if 1 may I>> allowed to prophecy, I predict that if th delegates will go in again, the raftpr will ring again and again when they de mand the same independence for the citizen of the Philippines as they did « two years ago for Cuba. “Do you say I am speaking for the Philippines? Yes, one word for them, and two for ourselves. “I may appear to speak one word for tin* Philippines, but two for my own people when I plead for the broad man hood of the man who wrote ‘All just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed.’ “We ought to begin to learn the inexor able law of compensation. You cannot govern the Philippines without taxing them; you have not yet their consent and when the proposition of taxation without representation is made again look out for tea parties—those little semi social functions are likely to break out even there, for Hail Columbia and Yan kee Doodle.have been heard in the arch i | M ‘lil go. “We may talk of it as we please, hut there is nothing that satisfies the human mind in an enlightened sige, unless man is governed by his own country and the institutions of his own government. No matter how easy may be the yoke of a foreign power—no matter how lightly it sits upon his shoulders, if it is "not im posed by the voice of his own nati< n and of his own country, he will not, In cannot, and he means not to he happy lyulcr its burden. “We are now asked to say to the citi zens of the Philippine Islands. ‘You poor ignorant creatures, you can’t gov ern yourselves; we will extend our com morce and we will do it for you. You don’t know how to tax yourselves, and in order that we may continue to exer cise our Christian duty to you we wil prevent your exercising sovereignty—w< will exercise that function ourselves.’ “Mr. President they will never learn to govern themselves while we govern them. There is no such thing as teach ing the art of self-government. “When Kossuth wrote the declaration for Hungarian independence he said hi had in mind our own Declaration of In dependence. For over 100 years every lover of liberty has pointed to this sen tence within this resolution: ‘That al just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed,’ as a reason for their tight for liberty. This sentence has been u pillar of fire by The News and Observer. LEMS Mi Mini CMOUH HUES II IBS ADO CRCUUWX night and has stirred the hearts of the oppressed all over the world. In the light of this sentence crowns have fallen into dust, and the foundations of repub lics have been laid. You ask for ex pansion. See how we have expanded in the time since this sentence was written. Not only have republics started up in place of monarchies, but mon archies have themselves gradually broadened into constitutional govern ments, getting nearer aud nearer to the voice of the people. Our own was the first great republic, and in the better and broader sense our flag floats from the dome of every republic. From Brazil to Nicaragua and Venezuela the brave little republican flag is floating. Jt may not be starred nor striped, like our own. but it is born of the spirit of our spirit, wherever it floats, and it breathes de fiance to the monarchies of the world, because our flag is in our sky and be cause the Monroe Doctrine is written forever in the hearts of the people. “The other day when the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts asked the Senator from Connecticut (Platt) what lie was going to do with this sentence that ‘all just powers of government are derived from the consent of the govern ed.’ he answered ‘from the consent ci some of the governed.’ 'Mr. President, when any great cause, which is agitating the minds of the peo ple, needs for its defense such shallow and un-American evasions ns this, that cause will not live long in the minds of intelligent people. We cannot avoid that sentence now, and when we all shall have mouldered into forgotten dust thi sentence will live and continue to burn a menace to tyrants and a beacon of hope to the down-trodden and the op pressed. “The Filipino is begging to treat with us as to his own land; he acknowledges our gallant service; there is uo hones) commercial treaty that an honest nation could ask that he is not willing to con sent to.

Referring to the statements that the Americans intended to give the Philip pines liberty, Senator Mason said: “How is liberty to be established? Is it to l e done hyperdermically. with a Cl inch gun? Are not our men and ships lying off Iloilo? Did not the natives who have been our allies drive the Spaniards out? Are they not in posses sion of their own land, their own homes?

BUTLER’S 0 m VIEWS OF THE MATTER The 'A'ar Being Over a Constitutional Question, is it Not Discrimination to Grant Pensions to Only One of theSd*s. Washington. Jan. 10. —(Special. 1— Sen ator Marion Butler will withdraw his proposition for pensions for Confed erates. He does it. he says, because of the opposition from Confederate veter ans and Southerners generally. “I believe,” said Senator Butler, “that if the matter of the enactment of the bill into law was left to the Grand Army of the Republic, they would pass it without delay. But the opposition which has developed from ex-Confede rnte soldiers, who feel that such a law would place them in the position of men dicants. calls for a reconsideration of tin proposed measure, and 1 shall respect it accordingly. 1 do not see the matter in that light, however, and shall state iny reasons for proposing the measure when the Appropriation bill, to which it is an amendment, comes up for consid eration in the Senate. “The Civil War was unlike any other war in the history of the world. It was fought over a constitutional question, and its result determined nothing more than a vote of the Senate would have done. The result of the war gave the construction to the Constitution, that the Union is indissoluble. Each State which withdrew from the Union did s > under the belief that it was exercising its constitutional prerogative. The war was anything but a rebellion. More over. according to the Northern con struction, the Southern States were al ways part of the Union, and the ques tion which to my mind, at least, pre sents itself is whether it Is not dis crimination to grant pensions to the men who fought on one side of this great struggle and not to those who fought on the other side.” LAW AND LYNCHINGS. Gov. Ellerbei.’s Message Dealing With an Absorbing Question. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 10. —The Gen eral Assembly of South Carolina con vened in actual session today. Gov ernor Kllerbe, in his message, took oc casion to refer to the subject of lynch ing. He says at the outset: “During the last several years there has been an apparently increasing dis position among us to attempt the right ing of real or supposed wrongs b.v the law-breaking practice of lynching.” He says ii means tin* abolition of the regular order of justice, and this is the first step in the destruction of social or der. Concluding, he says the remedy sug gests itself, “See to it as conservators of the peace of the State, as makers of its laws, as the guardians of its sacred honor, that its laws are so enacted and so administered that conviction and pun ishment shall follow crime with the cer tainty that links effects to causes. It is possible, it is necessary for the protec tion of society and vindication of justice that a stop he put to those legal quibbles, those astute technicalities, that vice-en couraging dilatoriness in the administra tion of justice, which tends not so much to the protection of individual rights as to the subversion of Iho rights of so ciety and to utter hiss of confidence in the stability and even in the possibility of government. “That an officer charged with the duty of holding and »f protecting a prisoner should suffer him to l>e seized and snatch ed from the hands of the representa tives of the State’s power and sovereign ty should constitute forfeiture in itself of his office, for it is a confession of in disposition or of liability to perform the high duty committed to him. Such offi cers will never correct lawlessness, for jliey are either in sympathy with it or they are afraid of it. “As an additional measure of restraint it would he well, and I recommend that any county in which the crime of lynch ing is erfirnnitted shall be liable to the heirs of the victim of the lynchers in the sum of live thousand dollars, and 'hat men who shall he convicted of participa tion in lynching shall he deprived of (he right to vote or hold office in the State.” He dealt with the ever-increasing sub ject of the dispensary in extenso. lie recommends the submission of the ques tion of dispensary or prohibition to the people for a popular vote and letting each comity decide on which it will adopt. High license as a factor in the vote is omitted, though it was generally expected. The law’s delay is vigorously handled in what he says about tlie* courts of the State. CHICAGO'S MAYOR FOR BRYAN. Carter Harrison Says Free Silver at Hi to 1 Will be the Leading Issue in 11 tOO. Chicago, Jan. 10.—Mayor Carter Har rison came out squarely for Bryan and free silver in his speech at file Jeffer son Day banquet. “To-day, as two years ago/’ he said. “we regard the man whose name »ur dub bears ;as the logical leader of the contest in 1900. Events since 1896 have shown the wisdom of the Chicago con vention. The constant growth of the money power, the firm dutch it lias taken on the nation, and : ts fixed de termination to fasten upon the people an absolute control by the hanks of the na tional currency is satisfactory evidence that to-day. as iti 189(1, the people’s sole remedy lies in a return to ilie money system under which the nation thrived and prospered the free coinage under the Constitution of silver and gold) and at the ratio of 16 to 1. “The growth of the trusts *nd the daily centralization of capital in those powerful agencies afford abundant proof of tlu* necessity for early and determined action to prevent the actual and hope less subserviency of the people to wealth aud aristocracy. For this nation i drifting rapidly toward a condition when, though free in name, it threatens to be in fact an oligarchy, whose chosen few will hold jjjre-eniiuenee neither by right nor birth jior ability, but by the single power off wealth. “In the trying days when war was first declared, when every true Ameri can stood ready;to brave all in defense of the fatherland, the one sign of fear came from the capitalists, who trembled lest business relations should be dis turbed.

Sagasta Announc s t*at There is no Cibi et Cris'S Diss : dint Conservative Parly is Dissolved. London, Jan -Tile Manila corre spondent of the Morning Post says: “There was an important conference last evening between duly authorized .Ameri can and Filipino committees at the in stance of Aguinaldo. Tire latter ap pointed General Flores, Colonel Aquilles and Senor Torres. “Major General Otis appointed Gener al Hughes, Colonel Smith, of the Cali fornia regiment, and Judge' Advocate Crowder. General Otis said the purpose of tlu* conference was a mutual under standing of the policies, aims and desires of the people of the United States and of the Philippines. There-#,as a frank discussion.” ADVICES FROM GENERAL OTIS. Washington, Jan. 10.—It can he stated on authority that such news as has been received to-day from General Otis is rather reassuring than otherwise as to the situation in the Philippines, lie has been instructed to use gentleness in dealing with the insurgents and to advise and co-operate- with Admiral Dewey. The question has arisen here as to the exact purpose to he served now in attempting to seize Iloilo. Orig inally it was intended to release the Spanish force there beseiged, hut by their evacuation of that place they have removed that incentive, and were it not for the false encouragement it would give the insurgents there is little doubt that the Unted States troops would not be moved against Iloilo. Meanwhile the navy is expected to draw a cordon around the Island of Panay, and also Luzon should it be deemed necessary to do so, to prevent the further supply of arms and muni tions of war to the insurgents. SAGASTA STILL AT THE HEAD. Madrid, Jan. 10.—Senor Sagasta had 'an hour’s audience with the Queen Re gent to-day and afterwards announced that there was no Cabinet crisis, that he would not submit a vote of confidence and that he believed the present Minis try would present itself to Parliament. It is not yet clear whether the crisis is merely deferred until after the next Cabinet meeting or whether Senor Sa gasta has succeeded in inducing certain colleagues to reconsider their resigna tion. Several Dissident Conservatives, in* eluding the Duke of Tetuan. Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Canovas Cabinet and Tomas Castellanos, former Minister for the Colonics, have apparently decided to join Senor Sagasta. Otiu r members of the party have attached themselves to Senor Silrelit s<> that the Dissident Conservative parly, as an organization, may he considered dissolved. BREAK WITH OUR CONSUL. Hong Kong. Jan. 10.—The Filipino Committee has broken off all relations with the United States Consul. Rounse velle Wiklman. The committee today issued a writ in the Supreme Court to recover the smn of $47,000 which the Filipinos claim to have deposited with Mr. Wildman as Treasurer of the Filipino Independence Fund in June last. Tic members of the committee further allege that sensational disclosures are probable, showing, they add. that th* American Government recognized the Filipinos as belligerents by affording them assistants in arms and moral influence to co-operate aganst Spain, “thus endorsing the agreement made with Aguinaldo at Singapore in April.” Flattery—The art of making others believe your disbelief. ALAS! FOB TBE KID Sharkey Knocked Him Out in Tenth Round. TOM FORCED HGHTIN6 MoCOY’S MARVELOUS FOOT WORK A PUZZLE. HE WAS LIKE THE IRISHMAN’S FLEA In Round 10 Sharkey Landed a left Hander on McKoy’s Neck Which Put Him to Sleep With his Head Hanging Cver the Ropes. Lenox Athletic Club, New York, Jan. 10. —Tom Sharkey, the American bailor, stands to-night .the only heavy-weight possibility for championship honors, and the title now held by Rob Fitzsimmons. He whipped Kid McCoy good and hard in the tenth round of what was to have been a 20-round battle, and by doing so, the Irish-Amerieau pugilist forged his way so positively and undeniably to the front rank that Fitzsimmons must now consider the sailor pugilist's claim with out delay. Sharkey to-night was a revelation to those who saw him a couple of years ago. llis ring work :yid generalship are. so vastly superior to his exhibitions when lie first came to the East as a fighter that the improvement is almost in credible. Great hunches of muscle, with unlim ited confidence and a cool head, are the qualifications which have enabled Sharkey to fight his way to the front rank of heavy-weight* pugilists, and no one, not even McCoy, who suffered de feat at his hands to-night, denies the full measure of praise that is due to the Irishman. McCoy’s marvelous foot-work and that long left jab, with which he has put so many of his opponents to sleep, are two factors in his make-up that must al ways appeal to lovers of the fistic art. He used every artifice known to the ad vanced school of pugilism in hi,* contest to-night, and his defeat must not he at tributed to any lack of close study on his part of every trick in the boxing game. When McCoy sent Sharkey twice to the floor in the third round to-night, no one doubted the Kid's ability to hit hard, and many thought that he had Sharkey at his mercy. This idea was soon dis pelled when the Irishman began to get to his man. McCoy’s seconds were Doe I’aync. Con Reilly, Frank Erne, Time-Keeper Nate Fenton, of Buffalo. Sharkey’s seconds Tom O’Rourke. Tommy Ryan. Syracuse; George Dixon and Jack Doughtery. Time-keeper, Jimmy DeForest. Tim Hurst was referee. Sharkey’s weight was 172; McCoy's 1.78 pounds. McCoy wore white running trunks with a belt with stars and stripes. Tom wore green trunks with a belt of American colors. They shook hand' at 10:40 o’clock. Round Ist.—They tub ed. McCoy tried a left for the wim. but missed. Tom swung a left over the kidneys. Mc- Coy trie a left lunik for the head, land ing lightly. Tom uppercut with a right on the chest. McCoy made a half circle of the ring and then caught on the stomach. Sharkey did not reply. Mc- Coy again sent his left to the stomach and brought it up to the face. Sharkey hooked a light right to the ribs. Both men were sparring at the gong. McCoy’s round. Round 2nd. —McCoy sidestepped to the left for a half circle of the ring and let his left go. landing lightly on the face, Tom stepped back and McCoy ran close to him. Two efforts of McCoy-to reach his man were futile, but he caught Tom on the ropes and caught a light left on the nose. Tom came to centre of the ring and tried left and right without ef fect, and again the Kid sent liis left lightly to the face. McCoy continually kept sidestepping and evaded Tom’s at tempts for a left hook or swing very cleverly. McCoy put a light left on Tom’s face when near the ropes on the west end of the ring, and Sharkey sent a hard left hook to the ribs as the gong sounded. Round 3rd.—Tom tried to force mat ters and McCoy at close quarters sent his left to the ear and ducked away from a left swing. Each sent lefts to the head at close quarters with little effect, and McCoy’s foot work puzzled Tom, \yho could not land until Mac stopped after getting a left on the breast. Tom then sent his left to the neck and Mae jabbed a hard left on the sc. These seemed to annoy Tom who as utilise to such quick foot work, and Mac hit his opponent with another quick jab on the nose. Twice around the ring Mac sidestepped and at each step his left jab. landing lightly. Suddenly the Kd stood rigid and sent his right to the face, repeating the blow within two sec onds so hard that Tom fell to the floor. Tom jumped up like a rubber ball re bounding and again fell to the floor, The bell found them sparring. Round 4th.—McCoy’s foot work was marvelous. He cut out the pace and Sharkey could not reach him through tiie Kid’s clever side-stepping. Once in a while Mac would stop and send that long left to the botl.v or bead. Tom tried all sorts of dodges to bring his man to him, blit the Kid side-stepped all the time, and Tom’s swings fanned the air. ■ Sharkey rushed and tried for tin* bodyj but the Kid side-stepped again and sent two hard left** to the face. These l - v >' stung Tom, but the latter strip 4 tongue out ns much ns to say: s > don’t count, hit heavier.” V Round 5th —McCoy rushed acr«. the ring and the men clinched in Sharkey s corner. Sharkey tried left and right swings, but the Kid dodged cleverly. Tom tried left and right again, but the Kid dodged him. Tom crossed the ring and caught Mac in the neutral corner, sending his left to the stomach and a right on the ear. McCoy countered heavily with his right on the head. Tom kept rushing ineffectively, and once he caught Mac on the ropes and tried to land a left hook; lint Mac rebounded from the ropes like a rubber ball, and Tom sent liis left to tlie right r,bs, only landing a glancing blow. Both men were fresh at the end of the round. Round 6th. —Sharkey on the aggres sive, Mac very weary and easing his feet to advantage. Tom caught him side-stopping, leading a left hook low on the body and another on the ribs close to the heart. Mac jabbed left to the face and body, but failed to dodge a left hook from Tom, which caught him on the neck under the ear. Tom kept on, the aggressive, and caught Mac ,on the ropes without gaining anything. Tom caught Mac in the corner and gave him two lefts in the fact. Mac jumped to tiie middle of the ring and side-stepped, but Tom knocked his left and sent hits right across the head, but they were glancing blows. At this stage of the game there was betting SSOO even Tom would knock Mac out. Round 7th —Both blocked cleverly. Tom swung his left for the head. Mac blocked the blows with his elbow and side-stepped out of harm’s way. Two clinches followed in which the referee had to go between the men to separate them-. Coming together at close quar ters. Mae got his left to the wind, and Mac landed his right on the head. Lend ing and blocking cleverly on both sides was then the order, and Mac succeeded in landing a left hook on Tom’s rijrht eye, raising a mouse under the cheek bone. Both were fresh when the gong sounded. Round Bth.—They rushed to a clinch with nothing doing. Mac sent a left swing to the head. Tom upper-cutting with left to the head. Sparring continu ed without any injury to either, and then Tom shouted: “I’m tired.” The Kid led a beautiful left for the head, but Tom twisted away around, bringing his left to the ribs. In a rush Tom played for the body, landing his left seemingly low, and Mae dropped to the floor of the ring, where he wriggled for eight seconds. It looked as if Mac were down about 12 seconds, hut th** referee’s count was only eight. He came up again seemingly uninjured, and finished the round sparring. Round 9th.—Mac opened with a left on the jaw, and Tom replied with left and right on the head, forcing the Kid all over the ring. Tom forced the fight ing into his own corner, where he got Mac with a terrible left in the stomach, sending a pail of water all over Tim Sullivan, who was sitting in a box. Mac recuperated quickly, but got another welt in the wind which forced him to the ropes. Then Tom forced the light ing and landed half dozen hard lefts on the breast and stomach as Mae was trying to get away to the left. This was Tom’s round by long odds. Round 10th.—The Kid kept skipping to the right and ran into a clinch, where he held Tom without a blow being struck. Sharkey taking the advice of his chief second, Tom played for the body, but Mac guarded him effectively. Then Tom turned his attention to the body and landed on the ribs with his left, then Sharkey turned his attention to the upperworks, with McCoy sprinting to the right with Sharkey having a de cided advantage. The sailor let fly both left and right, landing on the and forcing Mac to the east end ol* the ring. Close to the center upright McCoy falter ed. and Tom caught him with his head hanging over the lowest of the three* ropes looking imploringly around. The Kid lay there helplessly, while the referee counted ten seconds, after which ho struggled to his feet, and Sharkey not knowing that the limit had expired, rushed at him once more, this time swinging right on the neck just below the jaw, McCoy falling again. Then McCoy seemed to be in a helpless condition, but the referee, Tim Hurst, did not trouble himself in counting sec ends, but waved his right hand to Shark ey to retire to his corner, saying at the same time: “I counted McCoy out on the other fall; you've won.” McCoy struggled to his-feet and stag gered to his corner, where his seconds were already awaiting him and they placed him on the stool, while Sharkey’s adherents almost smothered him with embraces and congratulations. Time of round, 1 min., 13 seconds. THE QUAY CONSPIRACY CASE. Supreme Court Dismiss* s—Api-lieu;ion for Writ of Certiorari. Philadelphia.
