G.—Senator (’artery of Louisiana, in a discussion of the Philippine question in the senate yes terday broke new ground in develop ing his position as no r.nti expansion ist. In response to a question as to what, in the present circumstances, he would do with the Filipinos, he said, with characteristic courage of convic tion: “Turn them lo'Xse as soon as we can get rid of them. That would be better for them and infinitely better for us.” Mr. Caffery’a argument was mainly a discussion of the constitu tional question. lie maintained that the constitution extends absolutely over the Filipinos, and that they are entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizens of the United States guar anteed by the constitution. The senate in executive session rati fied The Hague peace treaty, also the extradition treaty with Argentine Re public. Both were adopted without objection or division. The Senate. Washington, Feb. 7.—Until the finan cial measure now pending before the senate is disposed of finally it will be considered by the senate each legis lative session to the exclusion of all but purely routine business. This de cision will have the effect of cutting off debate on the Philippine question and other matters except by unani mous consent, unless senators choose to discuss other matters in the time they devote to the financial bill. Mr. Caffery spoke on the Philippine ques tion, bolding the Untied States should restore the status quo and then confer Independence on tl.e Filipinos. Mr. Br.th r of North Carolina discussed at length the proposed amendment to the constitution of North Carolina In an swer to speeches delivered by Senators McEuery and Money. The House. The Philippine question again occu pied the attention of the house yester day with a slight digression concern ing the war in South Africa. The feature of the debate was the speech of Mr. Williams of Mississippi, who presented an argument against the an nexation of the Philippines which at tracted much attention. It was de voted almost entirely to the commer cial aspects of the acquisition, holding that the absorption of the islands would be ultimately ruinous to the American producers of cotton, rice, to bacco, hemp and sugar. Mr. Morris of Minnesota made an exhaustive legal argument in support of the right to hold and govern the islands. The other speakers were Messrs. Gibson of Tennessee, W. A. and 11. (’. Smith of Michigan, Cochran of Missouri and Neville of Nebraska. The general de bate on the diplomatic bill closed yes terday and to-day it will be taken up for amendment under the five-minute rule. The Senate. Washington, Feb. S.—A lively tilt be tween Mr. Depew of New York and Mr. I’ettlgrew was the feature in the early proceedings of the senate yes terday. Mr. Depew read a letter from President Scburman, of the Philippine commission, flatly contradicting state ments made by Mr. Pettigrew in a speech several days ago and then com mented caustically upon the methods of the South Dakota senator In traduc ing the evidence of such men as Presi dent Scburman and Admiral Dewey through the statements of Agulnaldo. Mr. Pettigrew replied sharply, repeat ing much that he has said heretofore, hut principally reiterating the state ments which had called forth the de nials of both President Scburman and Admiral Dewey. Discussion of the financial bill was then resumed, speeches being made by Mr. Turner of Washington. Mr. Bate of Tennessee and Mr. Allen of Nebraska, all in op position to the pending measure. The House. The house finished the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill yester day, passing It substantially as It came from the committee. There was some discussion of the Philippine question and the war situation In South Africa, the principal feature being the speech of Mr. Shaforth in favor of medlatiou tn the Brltioh-Boer war under the pro visions of The Hague treaty. The diplomatic bill, as passed, carries $3,- 743,908. Washington, Feb. 9. Almont Imme diately after the senate convened yes terday discussion of the financial measure was resumed. Mr. AUen of Nebraska concluded Lis speech charg ing the Republican party with break ing faith with the people on bimetal l«ni and systematically discrediting the work of the Intel national bimetallic commission. Mr. Cockrell of Missouri also addressed the senate on the finan cial bill, making a technical analysis of the house and senate measures, charged that the senate substitute con talced the Initial movement toward the perpetuation of the national debt. Tlie Senate. Washington, Feb. It).—There was a scene at the night session of the house last night which momentarily recalled the stirring and exciting days of the Fifty-first congress. An irate member rushed down the main aisle brandish ing his arms and shouting for recogni tion, while halt the Democratic mem bers were on their feet execrating the occupant of the chair for what they termed his arbitrary course, and from several places in the hall came loud hisses. Last Friday night Mr. Talbert (Dem.. S. C.) blocked private pension legislation because there was no quor um present, and threatened to continue to do so at every s vbsequent Friday | night session unless a quorum wore present, ills warning had its effect. I'here was an unusually large attend* I anti' when the house was called to or i dor at S o’clock. "Nir. Hepburn of lowa was called to preside over the com* ; nilttee of the whole and the clerk read the first bill. Talbert rose leisurely ' while the bill was being put through the legislative stages, the adoption of committee amendments, engrossment, third reading and final passage and passed the chair, lie was completely ignored. Another bill was read, en grossed. read a third time and passed, all in the space of a minute, with Mr. Talbert still clamoring for recogni tion. A third bill was passed in the same way. Ry this time the whole : Democratic side was aroused. A doz -1 (‘n members were on their feet. Mr. Talbert, thoroughly aroused, started down the main aisle shouting: “Mr. Chairman,” “Mr. (’hairman.” as he ap proached. He reached the area in front of the speaker’s rostrum, all the ! while roaring out his denunciation of ’ the chairman's arbitrary course before 1 the chairman condescended to recog nize him. Mr. Talbert rapidly cooled down after he had been recognized, and explained in a brief speech that the presence of a quorum had com pletely vindicated his position. The Senate. As no senator was prepared to pro ceed with a discussion of the finance measure yesterday the senate trans acted only routine business and ad journed early to enable members to at tend the obsequies of (Jen. Lawton. TRIBUTE TO A HERO. ' (fen, Lawton’s Hemal iin Laid to lte»t at Arlington. Washington, Feb. 11. Maj. Gen. Henry W. Lawton was buried yester day in the national cemetery at Arling- I ton. It was a nation's tribute to a na tion’s hero, and the sorrow of a whole people was expressed when was borne from the chapel of Cypress Hill the brow that so long had worn the laurel. The burial service beneath the leafless trees at Arlington was preceded by a service in the Church of the Covenant, in which every department of the gov ernment was represented, the presi dent cabinet, the army, the navy, the supreme court and diplomatic corps and as many citizens of all classes as were fortunate enough to find standing room within its walls. But the crowd was insignificant when compared with the crowds that braved the elements of a lowering winter day for a glimpse of the Hag-draped caisson with its mil itary escort as it passed through the streets. Hundreds more made the toilsome pilgrimage to Arlington to hear the last words pronounced above the open grave, where the president, the cabinet and the general command ing the army, stood with uncovered heads until the last volley was tired and the bugle sounded. For a day and a night the body of the soldier Loy in State In the Church of the Covenant. So it lay yesterday morning when the doors were opened, troopers from his old command, with sabers drawn, keeping vigil at the head and foot. About his bier as the shrill pipes of the organ trembled with the opening anthem stood grouped his superiors and his brother officers with whom his life work had been done. Chaplain Fierce, of Law toil’s old command, read the Presbyterian burial service, the epistile to the Corinudans, and his words of comfort seemed specially pruned for the occasion. '1 hen Presi dent Stryker, of Hamilton college, New York, clad in his divinity rolies, rose to deliver the oration. He had been selected personally by the secre tary of war, who knew bls fitness for the task. The choice was amply justi fied. Seldom has any ceremony called forth a tribute more scholarly and elo quent, more simple and direct, and more appropriate and titling to the oc casion. A dozen troopers then lifted the Hower laden coffin and bore it to the door where 3.o<M> soldi* rs and citi zens In greater numbers waited to hon or the soldier in Ids last march to his Final Itestintt I’lnce on the Virginian hillside beyond Ifle Potomac. The casket was placed on the rear caisson, an ideal soldiers hearse. It was a dr?ary wait on the cold, wind-swept slopes of Arlington for the hundreds who had made the pilgrimage early in th? day. ’ But close on sunset the boom of the Sylph s guns on the I’otomas was answered by the crash of minute guns from Fort Myer, and then the solemn notes of the dirge was borne down by the wind as the procession moved toward the great city of the dead. The grave was In the open space just s* nth of the amphi theater and in sight of the Mansion house. Gen. Merritt ahd his mounted staff deployed to the south road, w’lille aoild ranks of dismounted troopers held back the crowd on every side. Nimble cavelrymen swarmed around the caisson, tossing loose the lashings and bore the coffin, while the president and the cabinet, wi.h the gray-halred generals.’stood silent and bareheaded as the chaplain pronounced the words of eon initial that consigned the mor tal dust to the dust from which it came. Then the tiring squad wheeled Into line. The snapping of the volley echoed among the bare trees, but the walling of the bugle as It lingered in the grey winter twilight was echoed and re-echoed among the different hills. As it died away the coffin was lowered. Gen. Lawton's home-coming was completed. Gonotii Haw Not Fallen. Colon. Colombia. Feb. 11. The re port circulated in the United States that Bogote, the capital of Colombia, had fallen Into the hands of tho in surgents is without foundation. The Insurgents are still in the department of Santeder. where a battle is soon expected. Each day brings news of defeat of small bands of rebels. A FORMER AMERICAN SAYS Doubled Their Cultivated Ij*nde and More Than Doubled Their Stuck. The following letter, written by Mr. John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al berta, Canada, formerly of Washing ton, to a friend in the United States, 1s only one of a hundred similar cases, and what was done by Mr. Cummings can more easily be done today by any good, sober and Industrious farmer who chooses to make his home iu the dominion. Dear Sir: You want to know how I got along since I came into Northern Alberta. I am happy to inform you that 1 am not ashamed to tell. We located five miles northeast of Wetaskiwin; left Farmington, Wash., on the 29th day of May, driving all the way. We had time to build our log bouse the first fall, and to make us comfortable for the family amt stock. We then built four stables, 18x 20 inside, so that we could put every thing inside them when the cold got down to the fifties, and worked hard getting up the stables, and got through dubbing on the Ist of December; but, to our surprise, we had no use for the stables only for the milk cow and two spans of horses. The balance of tho horses lived on the prairie all winter, and took care of themselves. The doors of two stables were left open for them to go into in a cold time, but they would not do it, but stayed out on the prairie the coldest night we had and looked as spry as crickets. I can go ten rods back of my houso and count ten residents. I know all of their circumstances. Every one of them have doubled their cultivated land, and doubled their animals, and a great deal more. All of us are com paratively out of debt and an unusual ly big crop to thresh and prospects of a fair price, and I expect we are aa well contented a lot of people as tbero Is to be found from Florida to tho Klondike. My son bought two pounds of twlno to the acre, and when we started to bind some barley we found that in stead of taking two pounds to the acre, it was taking nearly five pounds. Then you ought to have seen him hitch up a team and make for town for 100 pounds more. 1 cannot say how it will thresh. All I can say is that it is well-headed, and takes an enormous • amount of twine. * The miserablest day we live there is many a better thing to do than die.—. Dailey.
