Weather To-Day: RAIN. VOX,. XL.V. NO. 130. is with coes, so WITH PHILIPPINES So Runs Mr. Allen’s Resolu tion in the Senate. SENATOR CHILTON’S IDEA GIVE THEM THE MORAL SUP- 1 PORT WE GAVE LIBERIA. NONE WOULD DARE ATTACK THEM THEN Mr. Chilton Also Urged an Amendment to the T reaty Declaring that We do not Mean to Occupy the Philippines Permanently. Washington, Feb. 4. —This was an- i oilier day of expansion oratory m the Senate. In the open session the speakers were Air. Chilton, (Texas), and Air. Wolcott, (Colorado.) Air. Chil ton made a constitutional argument in support of the Vest resolution. Air. Wolcott made an eloquent—almost im passioned—appeal to the Senate for the ratification of the peace treaty. At the conclusion of his brief address be was accorded the compliment of hearty ap plause. At the beginning of today’s session Air. All; n, (Nebraska), offered a resolu- ■ thm to the effect that it is the intention and purpose of the Senate in ratifying the treaty of Paris to place the inhabi tants of the Philippine Islands and Por to llico in exactly the same position as respects their relations to the United' States as are the inhabitants of Cuba. Air. Allen gave notice that he would address the Senate upon the resolution on Alonday. Air. Chilton then addressed the Sen art*. He asserted that lie was not an anti-annexationist or anti-expansionist. Within proper limits he regarded it as the duty of this country to widen its bounds. He thought the acquisition of Porto Rico and the island of Guam as well enough, but in the acquisition of the Philippines a grave public policy was involved. He believed such acqui sition involved serious perils and tnat dangers to our Government and insti tutions would constantly menace us. He did not regard the annexation of the Philippines as at all similar to that of Louisiana, California and other terri tory now a part of the United States. His belief was that if we took the Phil ippines and they became a part of this country our people would never cease to regret it. Air. Chilton said if our operations were confined to Porto Rico and Cuba, we would need no increase in the stand ing army, but if the Philippines »vere taken we should require an army of 200,000 men to subjugate the scattered and turbulent elements in the islands and pensions would be piled on pensions, lie declared liis belief that the Supreme Court would bold that Congress Had no poweT to prevent the Filipinos from passing from one part, of the country to another. But even if the inhabitants were shut out their products would not be and could not be. Air. Foraker, (Ohjo), interrupting Air. Chilton, called his attention to authori ties for the statement that it would be competent for any State of the Union to protect itself in any way it saw fit, by levying import duties on importations from the Philippines. This point was sharply controverted by Air. Chilton, he declaring it was cer tainly not true, lie said that the tailor ing people had caught the alarm iind read a letter which he had received from the National Cigar Alakers’ Un ion urging Congress not to annex cite Philippines oil the ground that it would demoralize the labor market of this country. Air. Chilton said lie would do with the Philippines what the United States had done with the Republic of Liberia, on tiie coast of Africa. Liberia took its independent position as a sort of off shoot from the United States and had been given moral protection by the Unit ed ’State. With such an arrangement no European Government would dare to interfere with the independent gov ernment of the Philippines. In conclusion Air. Chilton urged an amendment to the treaty declaring in effect that we did not propose to main tain permanent possession of the Phil ippines. That would assuredly ratify the treaty. At the conclusion of Air. Chilton’s speech Air. Wolcott was recognized. He attempted no discussion of the pend ing resolution but urged the ratifica tion of the treaty on purely moral and patriotic grounds. If the commissioners appointed by the President iiad presented to the Senate a treaty yielding up tin* Philippine Islands be would have felt it bis duty to ratify their action; if they bad in the treaty held only a coaling station lie would have felt bpund equally to supt>ort their ac tion. ‘‘ln their wisdom,” said he, ‘‘they have brought to us a treaty providing for the taking of the entire Philippine group and I see before me my duty to assist in the ratification of that action. The commissioners appointed by the Presi dent were men eminent in eliaraeter and abilty. They have brought back a treaty with Sriain by which we may deal with the Filipinos as Congress hereafter may wisely determine. Yet we stand here The News and Observer. Leads all mm Carolina dailies in news no NRCf^noN. day after day wrangling over resolu tions of no force and effect and which serve only to embarrass our own people in the Philippines and afford comfort to our opponents on the islands. There is not one of these question raised which may not properly be dealt with after the treaty is ratified. ‘‘However much we may differ among ourselves, upon question of internal policy we ought to stand as one before a foreign foe. I for one recognize a great difference between a treaty establishing commercial relations with another nation and atreaty bringing to a conclusion a successful war. It is important that wo should present, an unbroken front in meeting a question of this kind. We owe a debt to our brethren across the son. AVo had their unqualified moral support and the influence of their train ed diplomats throughout the war. Had it not been for England we should not have emerged from the alto war with colors flying so high. To-day we have among the nations of Europe only one friend —Great Britain. The other na tions stand with rapacious hate hoping that we may encounter some repulse.” Adverting to the attitude of the op ponents of the treaty in endeavoring to inject, as he said, politics into the con sideration of the pending question and to force out of it an issue for the next Presidential campaign, Air. Wolcott said: “But it is deplorable that in formulat ing such an issue and in pursuit of suf?) a policy these leaders should find it necessary to seek to dishonor this Government and the Administration which has guided us so wisely through the troubled sea of international com plications and brought us to the thres hold of an honorable peace, that they should dishonor us in the face of the nations of the wo "Id and should seek to bring about some fancied political ad vantage by an attempt to defeat the ratification of a treaty which, if unrrtt ified must bring back a condition of war as it existed before the report of the commissioners, passive ns it may be, but full of uncertainty and full of dis aster to the interests and the welfare of our country. “I do not believe such tactics can win. There are men enough ou both sides of this chamber who will stand by the Government, not because it is a Repub lican Government, but because it is an American Government. “The results of the war have left us charged with a duty to eleven millions of people. AVe found them under the dominion of .Spain. Nobody wants to turn them back tow+inHFnation. “If we should abandon those islands as a derelieit it is certain that they would become a prey of Europe. For one. I am certain that the ratification of the treaty would ameliorate the con ditions there and advance the interests of the Filipinos. We shall not put our hands on those people except to filers them and our efforts will lie to lift them up to the standards of civilization and Uhristinnity.” “Our relations with the inhabitants of those islands,” continued Air. Wol cott, ‘‘are certain to be fair, honest and just. We may .make mistakes. We have made mistakes in rhe past. But with our protecting hand over them those people will find themselves more secure in their lives, property and happi ness than they have ever before been.” In answer to the charge that the ac quisition of the islands would Ik* con trary to the spirit of our republic, he said this Government was the first ex lieriment of its kind ever made. “Every year,” he continued, “has brought us additional burdens and with them has come added greatness. And who shall say that, in the development of this republic, with its Anglo-Saxon strength and energy, it will not increase until we have planted our institutions and principles in that far off archipel ago? “Time alone can make clear our duty to the people of the Philippine Islands. Today we face the proposition of emas culating or destroying the p;nee treaty. For me there is but one path marked out, that is the path of duty, Iho path of honor.” At 2:15 p. m. on motion of Air. Lodge the Senate went into executive session. At 5:25 p. m. the Senate adjourned. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Feb. 4.—The House to day passed the military academy appro priation bill carrying about JftJOO.OOO. It served as a text for a speech by Air. Griggs, of Georgia, on the President’s suggestion that the Government care for the graves of the Confederate dead. lie referred to the devotion of the Southern men to the country, from the days of Appomattox to those of Santiago. Let there be an end, therefore, he urged, to the constant reiteration of reconcilia tion between the sections. That recon ciliation had long ago been accomplished, I and with the new generation of the South the younger men, there was no! need of reconciliation as there had been' no separation. “We accept the words of the Presi dent in good faith,” said Air. Griggs, "but we insist that this shall be the last reconciliation of the sections. Let this be the final ratification of the treaty of peace between the North and South.” Air. Griggs’ speech was warmly ap plauded and he received many congratu lations. After 3 o'clock the House devoted its attention, to eulogistic speeches of Thomas Benton and Frank P. Blair, whose statues have been presented by Missouri for erection in Statuary Hall. The resolution accenting the statues was agreed to and at 4:45 p. m. the House adjourned. --Misses Alatnle Lnttn. .Jessie Higgs, Nellie Hinsdale. Hal Alorson. Eliza Bas- Lee, Helen Primrose.

Mr. Gorman’s Activity in Op posing the Treaty, THE TALK IN WASHINGTON DEMOCRATIC DIVISION AS TO RATIFICATION. V SENATORS RESIST OUTSIDE ADVICE l hose Who Oppose Ratification Wish to Throw its Burden as lar as Possib'e on the Repub icai s of the Next Congress. Washington, I>. C., Feb. 4. —(Special.) —The fate of the treaty is uncertain. Both sides are claiming that the vote to lie taken on Alonday will result as they would have it, the friends of the treaty feeling positive that they will get the requisite two-tliirds of the Senate for ratification, while the opponents or rat ification are talking with greater confi dence of their ability to show more than the thirty votes which constitutes one third of the Senate. It is apparent that a few men are inclined to jolly but a sides and until the vote is taken, the re sult will be uncertain. The opponents of the treaty, led by Senator Gorman, and Senator Jones, of Arkansas, are already congratulating themselves at the pros(>ect of success in defeating the treaty because they be lieve* it good politics from the Democratic standpoint to throw the treaty over to an extra session of the new Senate, and put the burden of ratification, so far as they are able, upon Republican shoulders. They believe that this will array the Republican party on the side of expan sion, which they, the Democrats, re gard the unpopular side of the question; and some of the leading Democratic op ponents of the treaty go so far as to believe that the next Presidential elec tion is involved in this fight. They figure it out that the Democratic party will be the gainer by forcing this question of territorial policy to the front as the chief political issue in the Presidential campaign. Democrats who are in favor of the prompt ratification of the treaty disagree very decidedly with this diagnosis of the political situation. While they agree with their brethren in opposition to the permanent retention of iho Philippines and to anything like a policy of whole sale expansion, they contend that this is in no sense involved in the ratification of the treaty. They believe that delay in ratification is dangerous to the count ry, as it increases the possiblit.v of a clash with the inhabitants of the Philip pines, which would be most unfortun ate at this time, and they contend that placing the Democratic party in the light of opposition to ratification is the worst thing which could, from a poli tical standpoint, happen to the party. They believe that the efforts of some of the leading Democrats to make this a party issub will give to the Republicans the sole4-redit for handling this ratifi cation question in a common-sense, business manner, and place upon Demo cratic shoulders the burden of being a merely opposition party. There is much talk here in Washing ton about the animus which is supposed to be inspiring certain of these Senate leaders who are most active in their opposition to ratification. This talk is aimed particularly at Senator Gorman whose friends accredit him with having built up the opnositon to the treaty. They say that when he took hold there were but ten votes in the Senate in opposition to ratification. This is proba bly true. AVliile I do not of court* im pugn the motive inspiring the gentle man from Maryland, I am simply stat ing facts when I say that a good many people here believe bis opposition is due to two onuses: One of these is the de sire on the part of himself and those who think with him to make the terri torial question the overshadowing issue in the next Presidential campaign with the purpose of side-tracking the Chicago platform, and the other is a certain jealousy of Air. Bryan. It will bo recalled that some time ago Air. Bryan was here in consultation with | the leading Democrats, and tin* an nouncement was sent out that he had used his influence with Senators in fa vor of the ratification of the treaty. It was said that so great was his in fluence that every vestige of opposition hiul practically been swept away. Now if there is one tiling which the older members of the Senate resent more than any other thing, it is the suggest’-n that members of that august body use amenable to advice from without. Men who have been members of the Senate ‘ for a long time have a very exalted idea i of the value of membership in that body A "Senator of the United States’’ is. j in their eyes, a rather superior being, | and for anybody to advise him what to do. i special y if the advice comes from a man whose only political status is that of a defeated candidate for the l’rei h or.oy, is not at all palatable to cue of these older Senators. Senator Geimnn and Senator .Tones, ivn 'nice been the two most active of the Demo crats who are opposing the treaty, have succeeded in creating the impression that a certain degree of resentment toward Air. Bryan for his temerity inspires, to some degree, their action, j Os course all of them are loyal Demo crats, and it is just a difference of opinion among them as to the probable' effect upon the party of Democratic aid in ratification of the peace treaty. If the treaty is not ratifieed, there is cor--; tain to be an extra session of the new j Congress, and that is something which a good many Democrats do not want to see because it will bring the passage of a number of bills which they oppose, i THROWN FROM HIS BUGGY.

The Rumor Slates That the Kansas City Fort Scott and Memphis Road Has Bought the Seaboard. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4. —Among the many rumors current in the Sou til re garding the sale and consolidation of railroads is one today to the effect that the Kansas Oitv, Fort Scott and Mem phis Railroad mas purchased tile Sea- j board Air Line an-, wilt reach Birming ham from Atlanta by using the Last and West Railroad. This line runs from Cortcrsville, Ga., to L’ell City, Ala., and would leave a gap between Atlanta and Cartersville. This point, however, is reached by the Western and Atlantic, I with whom the Seaboard Air Line al ready has a working arrangement. The Georgia and Alabama, which is general ly supposed to have been acquired re cently by the Seaboard is also mention ed in the deal. The purchase, which would give a direct line to the Atlantic Ocean from the West, is a connection long desired by the “Alemphis Route.” The rumor does not receive much cre dence in Atlanta, nor is it believed that the conference at the Aragon yesterday between C. 11. Capps, General Freight Agent of the Seaboard and Major A ) Pope, General Freight and Passenge” Agent of the Georgia and Alabama had j anything to do with it, President Wash- • burn, of the “Memphis Route” was re cently in conference at Montgomery with the officials of the Georgia and Alabama and to this railroad men at tach much significance. AGTTNALDO’S CLAIMS SWELL. lie Now Asserts His Jurisdiction Over Ail the Philippines. Washington, Feb. 4.—Aguinaldo has’ broadened his claims, or at least his agent here, Agoncillo, has done so for him. In another one of the series of communications which he has addressed to the State Department, Aguinaldo as serts liis jurisdiction over all of the Philippine group. This is a notable ex tension. as heretofore there was nothing to show that lie spoke for anything more than the Tagals, and even though there may have been an intimation that the Visayas. or central group, was part of the Philippine confederation, this is cer , tainly the first time that any suggestion has been made touching the Sulu archi , pelago.

CUBA FULL OF UNREST. The People Ask United States to Define Its Policy. Havana, Feb. 4. —Values on the local bourse and general business confidence were reviewed yesterday by the ex clusive news ot' the Associated Press from Remedios of General Maximo Go mez’ acceptance of the proposition of Mr. Robert P. Porter, President Mc- Kinley’s special commissioner, for the payment of the Cuban army. Prominent Americans who are study ing tin* Cuban question express the belief that if the United States Government would define its Cuban poiley it would do much to ameliorate the feeling of unrest, uncertainty and fear and the lack of confidence which prevail among all elements in the island. Occasional scraps 9f news in partial explanation of America’s future course, they say, serve political opponents with grounds of speculation and cause misleading and incorrect statements to bo made. From the Cuban standpoint, the ac tions of the United States arc full of mystery and evil portent. If the Gov ernment’s policy were more definitely defined, it is urged, Cuba would know who is to pay the American army of occupation. La Lucha prints a long list of Cuba’s alleged ills, from the pen of General Enrique Collazo, from which the follow ing extracts are taken: "Tne Treasury Department expresses the intention of giving an honest admin istration, but it employes men who were used to the dishonesties of the Spanish regime, and the Department of Justice is administered as under Spain. We hoped, but vainly, that the Americans would teach us new and better ways of government. Ii was logical to believe that they would break the old moulds and build on methods prevailing in the United States. There laws based tipon the demands of the people prevail; but in the American adminstration in Cuba caprice rules with the sword and the Cubans are thrown aside and also ex communicated. V “The Cubans demanded with one voice the payment of their army, and’, the United States responded with insufficient charity and food. The United States come to instruct us in governing; but, they will not let us try to show What we can do. They come to give us in dependence; but seem to prepare for an nexation, we may eventually vote upon the question of annexation, but with the reins of government in the hands of the Americans there is little hope of a fair expression of tin* people’s wants. The centralization of power is established by the fact that General Brooke, or the Washington Government makes the ap pointments. “We are growing to oe a nation of potty office stokers; we haw* no pol'F, cal personality. The ways of tin* Am ericans are daily becoming more incom prehensible. We hoped to see the re turn of prosperity, but the country cannot pay even the reduced taxes de manded.” Major General Ludlow, military Gov ernor of the Department of Havana, yesterday wired Secretary Alger that the death rate for January was reduc ed forty per cent, in low that of the cor responding month last year, through the j measures adopted for the sanitation of streets and houses, the cleaning of meal points of infection, tin* vigilance exer cised in watching for and isolating (*.(£■ s of contagious disease and the supply of medicines to the sick and food to the starving. General Alger replied today as fol lows: “Your despatch of yesterday is most gratifying. Accept congratulations and keep the good work going.” Much suffering exists among the dis charged men of the Spanish army who are still in Cuba. They cannot find work and have appealed for repatriation to General Castellanos, who replied that they had no right to passage an 1 -hoy are now appealing to Lieutenant G*ei eral Correa, the Spanish War Minisior, begging him to send them home before they die of hunger.

A Game Bill that Would have Made him so, but the Senate Made Game of it. How the Trout Fishing is Monopolized. The Senate after wrestling with it long and valiantly got the bill codify ing the insanity laws off its hands yes terday. It had been the occasion of more talk than any, and perhaps than all, other measures that have come be fore that body during the session. The Senate at noon went into committee of the whole to consider the bill. The section of the bill that came up yesterday was that which provides for the disposition and care of the criminal and dangerous insane. The sub-committee, which was ap pointed by committee of the whole on Wednesday to draw a substitute that should be satisfactory to those holding diverse views, was submitted and adopt ed without debate. It directs that the vacant building at the State Prison shall bo set apart for tin* use of the dangerous insane and cut off from the prison by walls. The section is as follows: “Section
