"When the doors were opened a number of bills were passed without ob jection.

The amendment providing for the appointment of a cadet from Porto Rico occasioned some debate as to whether or not the commissioner from Porto Rico should have the authority to appoint the cadet. Foraker solved the question by offering an amendment Insert ing the words "to be appointed by the President," which was agreed to. The provision was further amended so as to provide that the cadet from Porto Rico shall be a native of said Island. Bailey (Tex.) said he desired to record himself against any proposition confining appointments to natives of any place. "Then you want to stand up for tht rights of carpetbaggers," remarked Hoar. Bailey replied that 'he had had an un pleasant experience with carpetbaggers, and he had no disposition to stand up for them for any place on the globe. Pettus (Ala.) characterized the amend rnent as class legislation, as It barred ' from appointment Bpanlsh-born persons now residents of Porto Rico. ' At 1 o'clock the statehood bill was laid hefore the Senate. It was laid aside, however, and consideration of the military appropriation bill -proceeded. An amendment was agreed to amending the general staff law providing that the Chief of Artillery shall hereafter serve as an additional member of the general staff, and shall have the rank, pay and allow ances of a Brigadier-General. The amend ment further provides that when the next vacancy occurs In tho office of Colonel of Artillery it shall not be filed.

To Govern Gnam and Tutulla. Toraker called up the Senate bltr pro viding for the government of Guam, plac ing the Island under the control of the President, through the Navy Department. Hoar criticised the policy of attempting to govern distant Islands In the sea. He took occasion to highly praise MablnL He said that. If the course pursued by Ma blnl had taken place in Revolutionary times It would have been one of the proud memories of American history. He (Hoar) iad made inquiry regarding Mablnl. and the executive had responded that he was a free man. Hoar said that, although the order had been made for Mabtnl's release. H was several months before he was re leased, and that, when General Miles vis ited the Island, an armed marine was pacing up and'down In front of the place where Mablnl was confined. The bill was passed; also a similar bill for the government of Tutulla. Immigration Bill Strikes, Sunn. Fairbanks called up the Immigration bill, and said that he was Instructed by the committee to move to strike out sec tion 2, providing for an educational test. The motion was agreed to. On motion of Dryden (N. J,), the bead tax was reduced from S3 to 2. On motion of Clay (Ga), the provision for the deportation of im migrants who become Insane within two years was stricken out. Gallinger said that the contract labor law had been practically embodied In the bill, and added that he had been reliably informed that a high official had said that If It should be Incorporated In the immi gration measure, this official would see that It is applied in keeping out French Canadians who come to the United States to work temporarily and then return. He mcved to strike the provision out. saying that. If It should be retained; New Eng land would rue the day that the bill was passed. The motion caused considerable debate, and. It becoming. -evident that a vote could not be secured today, Fair banks asked for unanimous consent to votj on the bill at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

Payne gave his bill a now title, calling It "a bill to raise revenue from the deposit of public money, for the safe keeping thereof, and for other purposes."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The discussion at today's Cabinet meeting revolved prin cipally about pending legislation in Con gress. Little hope Is felt among mem bers of the Cabinet that the Cuban recip rocity and Panama Canal treaties will be ratified by the Senate at the present ses sion, and each day's delay In acting upon them U Increasing the probability of an extraordinary session of the Senate. The President has reiterated his determina tion to; call a special session of the Sen ate In the .event of failure of cither one or both of the treaties. So far as can be ascertained, the President has not de termined on any date for the opening of the extra session If one should be called, but It la regarded as likely that It will be practically right after the close of the present session. It Is hoped by the Administration that what Is regarded as necessary legislation for the Philippines may be enacted by Congress. In this direction, the President BRIGADIER-GENERAL GOODALE.

MORGAX BLOCKS TREATY. Refuses to Atrree to Vote nnd De clares Unbendtnsr Opposition. WASHINGTON. Fob. 27. A determined effort on the part of Senator Cullom to obtain Senator Morgan's consent to fix a time for voting on the Panama treaty was made while the Senate was In execu tive session today, and was met by Just as determined opposition on the part of the Alabama Senator. In -making the request. Senator Cullom said that tho United States bad been trying for SO years J to get a canai across me lstnmus ana ne appealed to Senator Morgan not to ctand In the way of the consummation of this aspiration. He first asked for a vote to morrow and then for one on Monday and then lastly for a vote Tuesday, but each request was refused. "I think." said Mr. Cullom, "tho Sen ator is making a great mistake. The whole country recognizes his great serv ices for the past -20 years in the Interest of a canal connecting the two oceans. In deed, he may be called the father of the Isthmian canal, but It certainly would seem by his present opposition to the Panama treaty he Is strangling his own offspring." To this Senator Morgan replied In spirit. He said his Interest In a canal Is now aa great as ever: that it wax InAwA an r-ra t I tnat ne relt that he owed to himself and the country to exert himself to the ut- jiiusi iu prevent, ine rauncation oi u. treaty which he felt to be so full of de fects as the pending agreement. He then complained of the refusal of the Senate to allow him to discuss the question In open session. The country ought to know what It was getting. Into, but It could not. so long as the doors were closed every time the treaty was mentioned. Most Senators believe that the refusal to fix a time for a vote means that the treaty cannot be ratified before the close of the present session. MUST RELIEVE PHILIPPINES. reduction of Tariff Necessary to I'revent Renewed Outbreak. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Presldent Roosevelt, In conversation with his Con gressional callers toaay, dwelt upon with serious emphasis the necessity for the en actment of the pending Philippine tariff legislation. Ho said that in the last few days cablegrams iad been received from Governor Taft strongly urging that the Philippine tariff be cnaqted. and pointing out that failure on the part of the Con gress to provide for a lower tariff on Phil ippine products would result certainly in hardships to the people of the lsLmds, and probably to recurrence of serious dis turbance?. Indeed. Governor Taft is "of the opinion that the recent outbreak Insti gated by bands of ladrones In the Island of Luzon are due largely to a feeling 'of discontent that is growing throughout the Philippines. The conditions in the Islands are said to be bordering on distress, and the Presi dent. In discussing the situation with mem bers of Congress, appealed strongly to them for the enactment of the legislation that In the opinion of the Administration would remedy the present difficulty. Sen ator Lodge and other Republican Senators 'are making an effort ,to secure the pas sage of the tariff bill, but' they have little hope of success. NOT OPPOSED TO EARL.
