' CONDUCT OF THE FILIPINO WAR Pettlgfrew Resolution of Inaalry Went Over Proceedings In the House N ominatlons. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. The senate evinced a disposition today to take up the work of the session In earnest, and, while the sitting: "was of only a little more than a hour's duration, a large number of Im portant bills were introduced, and a definite foundation laid for proceeding with the financial bill, by firing the houi for beginning debate on this measure lor 2 o clock tomorrow. The most notable event of the day was a protest entered 4y Hoar of Massachusetts, to the .sum mary disposition of resolutions asking for Information about the conduct of the Phil ippine -war. He indicated a purpose to demand consideration for such measures, even at the expense of the financial bill The 8th Inst, was named as the date for the eulocies in the memory of the late Vice-President Hobart. The house was In session only 15 minutes today, and during that time had a little finny over an attempt by Sulzer of New Tprk to secure consideration for a resolu tion asking information concerning the re lations of the treasury department with the National City bank, of New Tor. The resolution -was referred to the com .mittee on "ways and means. THE DAY IS DETAIL. Flood of Bills, Resolutions and Fe tions in the Senate. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. The senate re sumed its Blttlngs today, with a 'general attendance of senators, and with a small flood of bills, resolutions and petitions. The petitions related to the question of ppljgamy, while the bills and resolutions called upon the secretary of the treasury for all letters passing between the treas ury department and the National Cty hank and the Hanover National hank, or New York, and also agreements made between the treasury department and those banks concerning the deposit of funds, etc. Aldrich (rep. R. !) objected to present consideration and the resolution went over till tomorrow. A like disposition wis made of the reso lution offered by Pettigrew (sll. S. D.). calling upon the secretary of war for in formation as to whether General Torree. of the Philippine army, came under a flag of truce as a representative of Agui naldo to General Otis after the beginning of hostilities, last February, making ex planations of the outbreak and suggesting means of terminating the trouble. Aldrich, chairman of the finance com mittee, gave notice of his intention to call up the financial bill tomorrow. Immedi ately after the disposal of the routine morning business, provided there is no ob jection. The notice brought Hoar (rep Mass.) to his feet with an objection which was based upon the fact that several senators had objected to the adoption of Pettigrew's Philippine resolution. "If," said Hoar, "there Is to be an abso lute suppression of all requests for Infor mation concerning the war with the Fili pinos, I shall object to the taklne up or other matters during the morning hour when such resolutions are pending." He called, attention to the fact that four senators had risen upon the presentation of the Pettigrew resolution to object to consideration. This was done in the face of the fact that it was the uniform custom of the senate to allow resolutions of in quiry to go through without obstruction. He wanted to know if this policy was to be continued. The statement brought Aldrich, Chandler rep. N. H.) and Hawley (rep. Conn.) to , their feet Aldrich disclaimed any inten tion of suppressing information concern ing military affairs, and withdrew the no tice to take up the financial bill, after the consideration of routine business, fixing the time definitely at 2 o'clock. Hawley ana unanaier ootn explained that the sug gestions concerning the Pettigrew resolu tion had only covered the point of post ponement until tomorrow, which they as serted was not out of the ordinary. "With a few further words on the part of Hoax the incident was closed. Sewell (rep. N. J.) gave notice that he would ask the senate to consider resolu tions in honor of the late Vice-President Hobart 6n the 8th, inst. The senate then went into executive ses sion, and at 1:10 P. M. adjourned. In the House. There were premonitions of a storm when the house assembled after the holi day recess today. Several members, in cluding Sulzer (dem. N. Y.), were prepared to offer resolutions to Inquire into the course of Secretary Gage in regard to the deposit of public funds In New York banks and a demand lor immediate considera tion. Gaines (dem. Tenn.) got precedence over Sulzer by rising to a question of personal privilege. He had read a publi cation alleging that he had stated that, in voting for the Tayler resolution, to In vestigate the case of Roberts, he had been actuated by motives of self-preservation. He denounced the publication as false ana without foundation. Sulzer was then recognized and offered Ills resolution, which was read at the clerk's desk. The speaker immediately ruled that the resolution under the rules must go first to the committee, and was not privileged. "If the committee does not report it back within one -Reek does It become priv ileged?" asked Sulzer. ''It does," responded the speaker. "I now ask unanimous consent for the consideration of the resolution," said Sul zer. Payne (rep. N. Y.) objected, and the res olution was referred to the committee on banking and currency. That ended tne little flurry, and at 12:15 P, M., upon Payne's motion, the house adjourned until tomorrow. AMENDMENTS TO CURRENCY BILL. Changes Made by the Senate Finance Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Republican members of the senate finance committee authorized Senator Aldrich to present the amendments to the financial bin, which he off red In the senate today. The most important relates to greenbacks, and is as iouowi: After the word "authority, ' on line 5, page 12. strike out the remainder of the section and insert "and th go.d coin re ceived from the sale of said bonds, shall first oe covered into the general fund of the treasury and then exchanged. In the manner hereinbefore provided for an equal amount of notes redeemed and held for exchange, and United States notes, ex changed in accordance with the provisions of this section shall, when covered Into - the treasury, be reissued as now provided by law, and the gold coin in the reserve fund, together with redeemed notes held for use. as provided in this section, shall at no time exceed the maximum sum of $150,000,000 " Al of section 6 is eliminated and the fol lowing new section Is substituted: "Section 6 That the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to receive at the treasury any of the outstanding bonds of the United States bearing inter est at E per cent per annum, payable Feb ruary L 1904, and any bon of the Unjtcd J btates bearing inures at the rate ct 4 per cent per annum, pajytMe July 2, 1907 and any bonds of the United StatP3 bearing Interest at 6 per cent pe annum, payable August i, 1608, and to Is sue in exchange therefor ah equal amollnt of coupon or registered bonds of the United States, in such form as he may prescribe, In denominations of 550 or any muitiple thereof, "bearing interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum, payable quarterly, such bonds to be payable at the pleasure of the United States after 30 years from the date of their Issue, and said bonds to bepayable, principal and in terest, in god cln of the present stand ard value and be exempt from the pay ment of all taxes or duties of the United States, as -well as from taxation in any form by or ur-der state, municipal or lo cal authority; provided, that such out standing bonds may be received in ex change at a valuation not greater than their present worth to yield an Income of 2& per cent per annum; and in consider ation of the reduetion of Interest effect ed, the secretary of the treasury is au thorized to pay to the holders of out standing bonds surrendered for exchange, out of any money In the treasury not otherwise appropriated, a sum not greater than the difference between the present worth, commuted as aforesaid, and their par value; and payments to be made here under shall be held to be payments on ac count of the sinking fund created by sec tion 3594 of the revised statutes; and pro vided, further, that the 2 per cent bonds to be issued under the provisions of this act shall be Issued at not less than par and they shall be numbered consecutively in the order of their issue, and when pay ment Is made the last numbers Issued shall be first paid, and this order shall be followed until all the bonds are paid; and -whenever any of the outstanding bonds are called for, payment of Interest there on shall cease three months after such call." Another amendment Is to the second section of the bill, where It provides for maintaining the gold reserve. The bill, as reported, made it the duty of the sec retary of the treasury to maintain the gold reserve at $100,000,000 by the sale of bonds, The amendment provides that when the reserve falls below that amount It shall be his duty to restore it to the maximum of $150,000,000. It Is stated by members of the commit tee that the amendments are for the pur pose of making more clear the intention of the bill and to leave no question as to the construction of the law when en acted. Chandler's Amendment. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Senator Chand ler, of New Hampshire, today offered an amendment to the financial bill, adding two new sections, as follows: "Section 9 That In accordance with the act of November 1, 1S93, which repeals a part of the act of July 14, 1890, It is hereby reaffirmed and declared to be the existing policy of the United, States to continue the use of both gold and silver as stand ard money, and to coin both gold ana silver into money of equal intrinsic ana exchangeable value; such equality to be secured through International agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the parity m the value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the markets and In the payment of debts; and it is declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily di rected to the establishment of some sucn safe system of blmetallsm as will main tain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States In the markets and the payment or debts. "Section 10 That the provisions of the act of March 3, 1897, which authorized the president to appoint commissioners to any international conference called by the United States or any other country with a view to securing, by International agree ment, a fixity or relative value between gold and silver as money by means of a common ratio between these metals, with free mintage at such ratio, be and the same ore hereby re-enacted and continued hj force." SULZER'S RESOLUTION. Way and Means Committee Likely to Change It Before Reporting: WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Chairman Payne and some of his associates of the ways and. means committee had an in formal talk after the adjournment of the house today relative to the Sulzer resolu tion, calling on the secretary of the treas ury for information which had been re ferred to the committee. A meetimr or the committee will be held tomorrow and a pretty thorough understanding was ar rived at today that at tomorrow's meeting the resolution would be considered and probably reported at once to the house. Some changes ore likely to be made In the resolution, by the omission of the two banks specifically named, thus making the Inquiry relate generally to all banka. It Is also understood that personal refer ences are likely to be avoided in the amended resolutions. In the form thus" reported back to the house, it is expected that the resolution will pass without ob jection, and that any debate on the ques tion involved will be deferred until the secretary of the treasury has an opportu nity to comply with the request for infor mation. HAWAIIAN COURTS. Recent Decisions Contrary to United States Constitution. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. The secretary of state has sent to the house several letters of Harold S.

LAWS FOR PUERTO RICO BHili PROVIDING A FORM OP GOV ERNMENT FOR THE ISLAND. Baals for the Senatorial Committee to Act Upon Not Intended to Be Permanent WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Senator Fora ker today Introduced a bill providing a form of government for the Island of Puerto Rico. The bill provides for the continuance of the laws and the munici pal ordinances now in force in the island until the legislature provided for shall supplant them. The president Is empowered to appoint a governor and supreme court, and also seven heads of departments to have charge of the various Interests of the government, and also five native citizens, who, together with the governor and heads of departments, are to constitute the . upper branch of the insular legisla ture. A lower house of 65 members, to be elected by citizens of the Island, Is also provided for, and all inhabitants of the Island are made. citizens of the United States. The citizens are also to elect a delegate to congress, who is to have a seat, but no vote. The island Is to be divided Into five dis tricts for Judicial and legislative purposes, and each district Is to have a local court to consist of such a number of judges as the legislature may provide for. The constitution and laws of the United States, are extended to the Island so far as the latter are locally applicable. Export duties are prohibited and free trade is provided for between the island and the United States proper. Articles Imported Into Puerto Rico from other countries than the UnltecUgtates are to pay the same duties as those Imposed In the .ports of the country.- The money .thus collected Is to go Into the island treasury, but money realized, from the in ternal revenue collections is to be covered into the national treasury of the United States. A committee of 'five members, two of whom are to be natives, Is provided for to revise the system of laws and of judi cial procedure In the Island. For the present no franchises are to be provided except upon the approval both of the gov ernor of the island and the president of the United States. In speaking of the bill, Senator Foraker said It did not create a territory out of the island nor undertake to give the is land a territorial form of government in the ordinary understanding of that phrase, adding that it merely provided a simple form of government which It was believed would answer the purpose until a more matured form could be devised. The senator also said that the bill was intended only for a basis for the commit tee on Puerto Rico to act upon. INTRODUCED IN BOTH HOUSES.

Was General Otis directed by the sec retary ofVwar to moke suoh answer?

THE PLAGUE IN MANILA. Three Suspected Cases Reported In the Walled City. MANILA, Jan. 3. Health officers have found a native with all the symptoms of bubonic plague in a house In the walled city, where two suspicious deaths have occurred. The patient has been Isolated and every precaution taken to prevent a spread of the disease. Situation Is Grave. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 Surgeon-General Wyman has no confirmation of the report that three suspected cases of bu bonic plague have been discovered within the walled city of Manila, but no attempt Is 'made to conceal the gravity of the sit uation, should the report prove true. Still, It Is said, a few sporadic cases need not necessarily result In an epidemic in the islands. Surgeon-General Wyman says the disease no longer creates the dread It once did, because it has been demonstrated that it can be handled by modern science. Its history shows that It does not attack Europeans as readily as natives. OTIS' CASUALTY REPORT. Deaths From Battle Wounds nnd Disease. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.

A special to the Herald, from Washington, says: ' There will probably be no reduction in the military force now in the Philippines for at least six months. Including all arms of the service, there are now In the islands 65,000 soldiers, In addition to about 1200 marines at Cavlte and about 5000 soldiers on the warships. The total of the fight ing .forces Is thus fully 70,000 men. .The war department wishes to avoid the mistake made when General Otis first took command, of underestimating the difficulties to be encountered, and the pol icy is to be followed of having more men than are needed rather than too few. o t- totc'itsseeisiotesatcie CONTRIBUTIONS TO LAWTOX FUND.

W onld Be in Republican Ranks hut for Race Question. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. Ex - Rep resentative T. H. Aldrich, of Ala bama, was discussing the political sit uation in his state the other day, and of fered the statement that if it were not for the race question, Alabama would quickly join the republican ranks. According to Mr. Aldrich, many of the leading repub lican principles meet with high favor in his home states, especially the expansion Idea, that is backed by the republican party. "Birmingham iron goes not only to every state In the Union," he said, "but to countries as distant as Australia. Our people see the advantage of having tne markets of the world, and hence the pop ularity of the expansion doctrine In our state." He then pointed out that Ala bama or Southern cotton goods are now being exported In great bulk to China, and machinery Is being shipped to Ha waii and other distant ports. These fact?, he thinks, will be beneficial to Senato; Morgan, In his race for re-election, which is to bo contested by Governor Johnston. He says that among the higher class of vntprj nnrl thf lntf11'trnt rf-7rpra Afnrcnn has h? far the advantage of Johnston; but underestimated. Democrats Already Beaten. One of the leading democrats of the house made a statement In private con versation recently which shows the opln- Ion held by a great many men who have studied the political situation of the day, "The democrats are hopelessly beaten in tho next presidential campaign," said he, "and nothing possible can save them. 1 am a Bryan man, and a free-silver man, and an anti-expansionist. I believe that the democratic party is right on all these questions, and yet the party Is In the hopeless minority on each and every one. The country Is for expansion. There are less -antl-expanslonlsts than free-silver men. It Is also true .that the very argu ments that we made In 1S96 are now turned directly against us, and made to stand In favor of. our opponents. As, for Instance, the great prosperity that the country has had is due, we believe, to the Increase of basic money, yet the argument is that the great prosperity has come with the gold standard. "We have also had pros perity under the new tariff, which we op posed. There is, moreover, a belief that the expansion of terrlttory is assisting In prosperity. It will be impossible to con vince the people of anything else, and we are on the unpopular side on every question of the day, and cannot by any means change the tide of events that are setting against us. So, every man who wants to tell the truth will say that the democrats' are beaten in the next cam paign. Of course, no democrat can get up and! proclaim that from the housetops now, and It would be political suicide on the part of a man to be quoted as making any such declaration. It Is well enough for us to acknowledge it in private, and know that we cannot win during the next campaign." Billy Mason's Show.

Arnsplfirer, 6S3 Corhett street, Portland: I suffered with catarrh of the head and throat for IS years. Thero was a constant discharge of mucus from Mrs. J. A. Arnspiger, 6S3 Corbctt St., Portland, Cnred of Catarrh. behind the palate Into the throat. This, together with the hawking and spitting, kept the throat raw and sore. The nose filled up with scabs and chunks of tough mucus, which I could blow out only after a very great effort. For two or three days at a time my nose would be so clogged up I could hardly breathe, and my head felt stuffy and heavy. The flr3t thing In the morning I would have a coughing spell, and there was pain and soreness in the chest. My breathing was short. Flnajly my entire system became tainted with the catarrhal poison. I had no appetite and my sleep was restless. I had horrible dreams and got up In the morning weary and tired. I had no strength at all. A little exertion, such as walking up a flight' of stairs, brought on heart palpitation. I was terribly nervous. The least thing would excite me and make me tremble from head to foot. This was my condition when I began treatment at, the Copeland Institute upon the earnest advice of friends. Before the end of the first month I saw an Improve ment, and now I feel better than I have In 20 years. In fact. I am enjoying- as good health as I ever did in my life. Tagals, and also the champion of the Boers. And now he proposes to have the people of the District of Columbia free. The Hon. Billy has discovered that the people of the district have no voice In their own government, being another system of "without the consent of the governed." Mason proposes to have it in vestigated. Of course this state of affairs has existed lor a great manyyears, and satisfactorily, too, because when the peo ple of the district were allowed to vote the negro element predominated to such an extent that the city came very near being wrecked. Mason is a sensationalist more than anything else, and he now proposes to have the trip of the cruiser Montgom ery Investigated. Of course there Is no reason why United States ships should not sail to and from any point In the world, and the fact that the Montgomery went to Sierra Leone need not be considered as giving any assistance to England in her war against the Boers. The fact Is, England has got more warships now than she knows what to do with, and docs not need a small cruiser like the Montgomery to control or overawe any natives along the African coast. England has got plenty of fighting piaterlal afloat. It Is one of her difficulties that she Is fighting an in land country without a navy, and cannot bring her greatest engines of war to bear upon them. Of course. Mason Is doing nothing except playing to the galleries. It Is not believed he is very much inter ested in any of these sentimental episodes in which he plays a star part, e Hartford Out of the Drydock. VALIiEJO, Cal., Jan. 3.
