WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.— The river
ai:il harbor bill, carrying- slightly more
than $30,000,000. passed the house to
day by a vote of 160 to 7. This is the
largest majority any river and harbor
bill ever obtained in the house. The
bill attracted little opposition, and ev
ery effort to amend it in important par
ticulars failed,
Mr. Hepburn (Rep., lo.) injected some
criticism of the general policy of im
proving rivers with Insignificant com
merce and directed his remarks par
ticularly at the improvement of the
iNluskiiiKum river, Ohio. That improve
ment, he said, was accepted from the
stale of Ohio as a charitable sift twelve
years a?o. Since then $1,500,000 had
been spent by the government, but the
commerce had fallen almost to noth
ing.
An amendment offered by Mr. Per
kins (Rep., Io.), to appropriate $200,000
for continuing improvements on the
upper .Missouri at Bismarck. Elk Point
and Yankton, which was supported by
(Messrs. Johnson (Rep., N. D.), Max
well (Pop., Neb.) and Kelly (Pop., S.
D.). was defeated. 27 to 89.
Upon the completion of the reading
Of the bill the committee rose. Mr.
Maxwell (Pop., Neb.) demanded the
•yes and noes upon the passage of the
bill, but only secured two supporters
Sfor his demand. On a rising vote the
bill was passed. 160 to 7.
The bill as passed carries the follow
ing appropriations for the Northwest.
Embracing, practically all that was
Bsked by Minnesota:
Improving the Red Kiver of the North and

The paragraph relative to reservoirs

tlver passed without amendment. It
provides that $210,000 and the unex

Cents and One Nickel.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 2.— After a
long- illness, resulting from an inordi

man's pet dachshund has been killed.
Eighty-five pennies and one nickel were
fcund in his stomach. Hartman kept a
restaurant on Broadway, and the dog
waa well known to all who frequented
the place. He had a fondness for
catching pennies in his mouth, as they
■were tossed to him, and would catch
several in succession without dropping
one. But this steady diet of coppers
proved his undoing, and a few days ago
he began to show signs of serious ill
ness.

MR. TILLMAN GIVES WARNING
Attempt to < olout/.i- the l'lil 1 l->p i ii.-n
Will Mean a Straggle With the
II h.h That May tout Many
L.lyes and Much Treaanrr Sen
ator Spooner Advocates Ratlfli-n
--tlon of Treaty In a Set Speech.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.— A notable
speech was made in the senate today
by Mr. Spooner. of Wisconsin. He took
for his text the anti-expansion resolu
tion offered by Mr. Vest, but did not
confine himself closely to that proposed
declaration of policy. He discussed the
question of expansion in all of its
phases, and urged the ratification of
the peace treaty as the best means of
bringing: the burning question home to
the people themselves who, he said,
could well be trusted on their sober
second thought to do that which would
be fair, just and generous by the in
habitants of the Philippine archipelago.
Mr. Spooner spoke for three hours.
Mr. Spooner maintained that the
United States undoubtedly had the
power, as had previously been shown
in the senate, to acquire territory be
yond our own domain, and with that
power was coupled, of course, the col
lateral authority to govern that ter
ritory. He knew, he said, of no rea
son why the people of a territory should
not be governed by congress, as every
right of liberty, and trial by Jury
would be fully safeguarded. He point
ed out that although the territory of
Alaska did not enjoy self-government,
its rights and those of its people were
amply safeguarded by congress.
Mr. Tillman, interrupting Mr. Spoon
er, inquired: "If we accept the Phil
ippines would the inhabitants of that
territory have the right to come with
out hindrance to this country?"
Mr. Spooner— Yes, for the purposes of
argument, I am disposed to admit it.
iMr. Platt (Conn.)— They have that
right now.
Mr. Tillman inquired whether the in
habitants of a territory co.uld be pre
vented from entering the states.
Mr. Spooner said the senator from
Connecticut (Mr. Platt) was inclined to
believe they could be. but he himself
doubted it.
Mr. Tillman further along pressed his
question as to the right of the Filipinos
to come here, and declared that by ad
mitting the island by treaty 10,000,000
people of that territory could take the
first ship for this country, and upon
arrival here could enter into competi
tion with American labor. That was
the reason why he would vote against
the treaty.
Mr. Spooner ridiculed the idea that
distance could affect our right to ac
quire territory. Why was there no ob
jection to the acquisition of Porto Rico
if there must be so much apposition
to taking the Philippines? The con
sent of the Porto Ricans had not been
asked.
Mr. Bacon replied that the circum
stances were aifferent because of the
proximity of Porto Rico as the ■ pres
ence of Spain in either of the West
Indian islands would be inimical to
the X'nlted States.
"I thank the senator from Georgia
for the admission he makes," replied
Mr Spooner. "The declaration of in
dependence is to be suspended in the
West Indies because it is in the inter
ests of the United States."
"No n ot our interest." replied Mr.
Bacon, "Our public safety, which is
greater than our Interests, is affected.
FOR NATIONAL SAFETY.
"Our interests are included in our na
tional safety," said Mr. Spooner. "The
senator practically admits we "Want
Porto Rico, because we need it in our
business."
Mr Hale made the point that there
was a very sharp difference between
the two cases. The island of Porto
Rico could be considered as an in
demnity—a land of some possible value
to us, and not a detriment— an ever
blitjhung curse and woe to us, as would
be "the Philippines. It was not a con
stitutional question, but a question of
policy. Did not Mr. Spooner see the
grave danger?
Responding laconically, Mr. Spooner
said he saw the danger.
Mr. Hoar interrupted to say that he
made no distinction in the two cases.
He took the broad ground that we are
not justified in attempting to govern
any people without their consent.
In conclusion Mr. Spooner said that
the ratification of the treaty and the
acceptance by this country of the ces
sion from Spain was no declaration of
principles. He declared that the Bacon
resolutions and all other pending reso
lutions on this subject were rich with
mischief and ought not to be adopted.
It was the business of congress to leg
islate and to follow the lines marked
out by the legislation and the will of
the people.
At the conclusion of Mr. Spooner'a
aigument, Mr. Tillman said he desired
to incorporate with Mr. Spooner's
speech some statements with respect to
Aguinaldo made in a report by Maj. J.
F. Bell, of the engineering corps of the
army.
Mr. Spooner gave his assent to the in
sertion of the statements at the proper
place in his speech.
Mr. Tillman, however, Insisted upon
reading them. He declared that Agui
naldo had a well armed force of 40,000
men, and would resist every attempt
to re-establish a colonial government
in the islands
Interrupting Mr. Tillman, Mr. Hoar
inquired: "Does not Aguinaldo hold
in peace and in order more than fifty
times as much territory in the Philip
pines as the United States?" -
Mr. Tillman replied that Aguinaldo
held all of the Philippines except a
small portion of the island of Luzon,
around Manila.
In conclusion Mr. Tillman said that
the ratification of the treaty could only
inject into this country another race

MINNESOTA SENATORS.
MenHiM. Melxon and Dhvlh Take mi
Active l'art In Treaty Work.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.— The execu
tive session of ,the senate today was
merely a continuance of the legal ar
gument which Parted with Senator
Spooner's speech fn ; the open session.
It grew out of ttie- cfuestion of Senator
Tlllman concerning the status of the
Filipinos with reference to citizenship,
in case the cession of the Philippine
islands should be 0 accepted.
Senator Nelson 'referred to the acqui
sition of territory ' from France and
Spain during the fiistory of the coun
try, and read from many legal opin
ions to show that the Indians in such
territory were not citizens. Mr. Platt
made the point that citizens of terri
tories were not full-fledged citizens,
and Mr. Teller contended that they
were not until they were made such
by congressional enactment.
Senator Davis/in charge of the trea
ty, expressed thfc opinion, after the ad
journment of the senate tonight, that
a vote would be secured tomorrow on
the resolutions pending in the senate,
declaratory of the country's future atti
tude towards the Filipinos in case of
the ratification of the treaty. The first
vote will be on the Bacon resolution,
which will probably be voted down.
A vote will then be taken upon a reso
lution more acceptable to the majority,
probably. that offered by Mr. Sullivan,
which, it is said, will be adopted.
Senator Daniel will speak on the
treaty in the open senate tomorrow,
and Senator Morgan in executive ses
sion.

INDIANS ON THE WARPATH
BATTLE WITH IJfITED STATES
OFFICERS FOLLOWS KILLING
OF A BRAVE
Juneau, Alaska, the Scene of the
Uprising' Indians Piled With
Drink, and Farther Trouble Is
Looked Foir — -Four Killed.
VA.>«X>UVERt B. >C, Feb. 2. — In
dians are on the war path in Alaska.
One battle has taken place and more
fighting is imminent. Four Indiana
were killed and several wounded in the
fight which has already taken place.
Four American deputy marshals were
wounded. The Iflflians are drunk and
there may be a general uprising.
The steamer fiutch brings the news
of the battle at Juneau. An Indian was
killed by United States Marshal Mc-
Guire in self-defe*se. Fearing the
dead man's death would be avenged by
his friends, a vigilance committee was
formed, who acted promptly, captured
the malcontents and took them to pris
on. On promising good behavior they
were liberated next day, but the re
vengeful nature of the savages de
manded blood for blood. Th<* pretend
ed acquiescence was a fuse. Plying
themselves with Hqtpr the blood-thirs
ty Alaskans deliberately planned the
murder of every.member of the vigi
lance committee. ■ The attack was
made at night. A friendly Indian
warned the whites of the contemplated
treachery, and as the. Si washes advanc
ed on the town with drunken yells the
officers warned them back. They still
came forward, opening fire, which the
whites promptly returned. The United
States marshal and his followers hav
ing the advantage of position were able
to pour a deadly fire. After the first
fusilade the savages stampeded hur
riedly into the darkness, leaving their
dead and four wounded comrades on
the ground.
FELLOW SERVANT FIGHT.
The Bill Killed In the South Da
kota Senate.
PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 2.— (Special.)—
A fight was started the first thing in
the senate today over the fellow serv
ant bill, which was killed by a vote
of 23 to 19. This was followed by an
other over the act making railroads
liable for damage by fire regardless of
contributory negiigan.ee. This was car
ried by a vote of 33^ to 10. The prin
cipal bills introduced were: Gopher
bounty bill; local option by counties;
permitting counties by vote to deter
mine if $200 personal property shall be
exempt from taxation, and a resolu
tion limiting the . membership of the

The bill providing for township fire
guards and fire marshals passed, while
that to prohibit the taking of passes
was virtually defeated by an adjourn
ment.
In the house the bill to create a new
judicial circuit o{ the counties of Hand,
Beadle, Spink and Kingsbury was lost
by a lack of a two-t"hlrds vote, but no
tice of a reconsideration was given. A
resolution agairist "granting lands to
new normal schools at Aberdeen and
Watertown was trimmed to make It
ineffective anfi adopted.
The principal house bills introduced
were: General revenue law; requiring
leases of lands In organized townships
to be filed with town clerks; providing
for free text books and appropriating
$50,000 to carry it out. The principal

RBMEDIOS, Cuba, Feb. 2 (via Ha
vana.).—Gen. Gomez, the commander
in-chief of the Cuban army, placed
himself squarely in position today as
an active ally of the United States gov
ernment In the work of the reconstruc
tion of Cuba by agreeing, as a result
of the conference with Robert P. Por
ter, the special commissioner of Presi
dent McKinley, to co-operate in dis
banding the Cuban soldiers under* the
above provisions — the $3,000,000 appro
priated for the purpose of enabling
them to return to their homes. Gen.
Gomez also telegraphed to Maj. Gen.
Brooke, saying he would accept the
latter's invitation to go to Havana.
The success of Mr. Porter's mission
greatly simplifies the return of the peo
ple to the pursuit of peace.
In view of Gen. Gomez's assumed
hostility toward the United States, Mr.
Porter came here clothed with abso
lute authority, and the tender of the
$5,000,000 was practically a verbal ulti
matum. Had it not been accepted, no
more ultimatums would have been
made. Mr. Porter made plain the pur
pose of the government, and was grat
ified at the ready response of Gen. Go
mez. The conference took place at the
house here occupied by the Cuban gen
eral as his headquarters since coming
to town.
Gen. Gomez specially requested that
the money for which Mr. Porter had
orders in his pocket should be paid
over to Gen. Brooke, and not to him
self, as he did not want the personal
responsibility of keeping it. The Cu
ban general then assured Capt. Camp
bell of his good feeling toward Gen.
Brooke, and the formal compact was
presented to Gomez by Mr. Porter, and
was assented to by Gen. Gomez.
Immediately after the conference
Gen. Gomez wrote the following letter
to President McKinley in Spanish:
"It has been a great pleasure for me to
confer with your commissioner, Mr. Porter,
Introduced by my friend, Quesada, and I am
now a-ware of, and pleased with your wishes.
In a short time I shall go to Havana and
confer with Gen. Brooke «o that everything
will go well. Following your advice, I am
willing to co-operate in the work of recon
structing Cuba.
— '"Maximo Gomez, General."
HAVANA, Feb. 2.— Gen. Brooke's In
vitation to Gen. Gomez to come here
was embodied in two or three lines in a
note Introducing Mr. Porter. He said
he would be pleased to see Gen. Go
mez in Havana at the latter's conven
ience. Aa the note was carried by
Gen. Brooke's aid, Col. Campbell, it
had official significance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.— The admin
istration officials were very much
pleased at the outcome of Robert Por
ter's conference with Gen. Gomez, the
Cuban leader. These were supple
mented tonight by advices from Mr.
Porter to officials here.
