IN THE SENATE
Debate cathe Ptlllpplce Bill Continued
I Under the Fiffeea-UIndte Rule.
Washington, June 2.- Little in-
, terest, either on the or in the gal
leries, was manifested in the Sen
ate debate on the Philippine
- government bill to-day under the
fifteen-minute rule. At two or
three stages it almost, died of in
anition. - Senators seemed little
inclined to avail themselves of the
opportunity to discuss the measure
thns briefly, aud there were few
utterances of special note.
Senator Mason, of II inios, in a
vigorous speech differed from the
majority in the treatment propos-
ed for the Filipinos. He "urged
that no reason existed for accord
ing to them a treatment differ
out from that accord d. to the
Cubans and strongly advised that
they be afforded the right to exer
cise the right to go,vern them
selves. He said he would net have
voted for the, Paris treaty but for
the open understanding among
Senators that the Filipinos were
to be given .their independence -es
soon as they were ready for it. r
I have faith in the ultimate lib-
, erty of mankind," concluded Sen
ator Mason. "It may not come
in your day or thine;. 'but 'some
day not only the people her in
the mother republic bat" ujl ovai
the world, in Cuba, South Africa,
aye iu the Philippiues, will be
the Wteting Caatured.

BRITONS NOT SATISFIED.
Tliej bare t&e Peace ini the Boers hare
the Honor, Is t&e Feeling.
Lmdon, June 8. While &11
London is recovering to-day from
one of the wildest nights of its
history in the celebration of the
end of the Boer war, an under
current of discontent is apparent
on all sides. An old soldier who
took no part in the boisterous
scenes, said bitterly: "Peace
with honor? It teems to me
we've got all the peace and the
Beers have the honor." This
idea is echoed in more thiuking
quarters. . '
Liberal members of the.House
of Commons say freely that peace
in South Africa might have been
secured a year earlier, upon bet
ter terms, had not Great Britain
been so obdurate. s
It is freely asserted that the
peace terms are the most liberel
ever granted a defeated euemy.
Certain it is the "Boers and their
sympathizers have - much consola
tion for the temporary loss of the
independence of1 the erstwhile
republic.

asked the HouseTof, Commons to
day -,f or fifty thousano! pounds for
Kitchener for his success in end

The House of Lords was in ses

StorfToFJ bf tBeoIoglsf of tht Recent
Eruption of Ifosnt Blickbsro. "
Seattle, Wash., June 2. A tpe
cial to the Times from Skagway,
under date of May 28th, says: )
'Accounts of a most thrilling
nature regarding the volcanic act
ion f a supposed harmless moun
tain in Alaska were brought Co
this city by J. C. McFarland, a
geologist, who was within a few
miles of the mountaim at the
time. Seven weeks ago a slight
earthquake shock waB felt in aft
parts of Alaska and until to-day
tEe phenomenon remained unex
plained. The eruption occurred
April 11th. McFarland says: !
"Suddenly the earth shook be J
neath my feet, and a low rumb
ling "sound '-r accompanied the
quaking. I glanced up at ' Mt
Blackburn. Instantly it seemed
as if the peak had opened, a
cloud of 'ashes and smoke shot
out into the air several hundred
feet and :then. 'there seemed to flow
from the opening in the top a
stream of dirty stuff, mixed with
large and - small boulders. This
continued only for about ten miu
utes, then ceased as suddenly . as
it had begun. The ! air cleared
and nature seemed again to wear
her cherry smile. !
"It was three days,. after many
perilous attempts, before I sue -ceeded
in reaching the base of the
mountain. Then I discovered
that the country for miles around
had. been affected. The small
undergrowth of the trees had been
entirely covered up. This stuff
which poured from the top of the
mountain was not even warm, but
franchisement of the rebels would .ward will probably be half a
