Waahington, Feb. 1. For more than
three hours today Bacon ol (ieorgia oc
cupied the attention ol the senate with
a discussion ol the Philippine question.
Hi argument, which had for ita basis
his own resolutions declaratory of the
government's policy toward the Phil
ippines, was listened to carefully by
his fellow-senators and by a large gal
lery audience. He maintained that
the United States owes as mnch to tbe
Filipinos aa it does to the Cnhans, to
whom, by resulotlon ol oongreaa, self-
government has bean promised, and he
strongly urged that hla resolutions, de
claring it to be the intention ol this
government to confer the right of gov
ernment upon tbe F'ilipinos, be adopted
as a mean not only of terminating the
war, bat of extending to the struggling
people justice and freedom.

THE PLAQUE SITUATION.

San FraacUoe. fab. I. Tba steamer
Australia, aeven days from Honolulu,
arrived today and report that op to
tbe lime of her departure, 41 deaths
from plague hai occurred, and there
waa a total of 62 cases. Tba Australia
hail on board 176 passengers, tha larg
est number which avar cama to thta
port on a single steamer from the
Hawaiian island.
In an effort to sump out tha plague,
It wa decided to bom one of tha blocks
in Chinatown. Tha lira was atarted,
and it gained such headway that tba
fire department could not control it.
The flames spread rapidly from ona
block to another, and soon the whole
Chineae quarter wa detroyed. Hard
ly a bouse waa left standing in the dis
trict. The Chineae and other resident
of the district fled from their bomea
in terror, and were unable to aave
much of their effects. A a result of
the destruction of tbe Chinese quarter,
7,000 people were rendered hcmeleas,
and they are now living in tents.
Tha fire destroyed 12 blocks, bound
ed by Kukui, (Jueen and Nunan streets.
Tbe most notable building burned was
the Kaumakakpili, a prominent laud
mark, and the BCstl comfortable edifice
of its kind in Honolulu. It contained
a large pipe organ, valued at $5,000.
Tbe steamship ltoquols rendered valu
able aid. She put out two linea ol
hose which saved tbe Honolulu iron
works.
The Austral! a passengers were
taken off and placed in the quamiutin
station at Angel island, where they will
remain till tomorrow.
According to advices from Honolulu,
the transport Altec, which left this
tort for Hilo. with 400 mules and
homes, may not attempt to land her
cargo at Hilo. Lighter would have
to lie employed, a the wharf there can
not accommodate the Altec. At pres
ent the weather condition are such
that the horse cannot U landed euiely,
and it i ex-cted that the Axteo will
have to return to Honolulu.
There was small riot at the deten
tion camp at Honolulu the night of the
22d, owing to the refusal of the author
ities to allow the Jauene to bum a
lot of new liimlsar for fuel purpose",
and because they were restrained from
burning a new cottage in which one ol
their numlwr had died of the plague.
The arrival of the reaerve ended the
troubles, and a careful watch is being
kept, a the Japanese are exceedinlgy
sullen aud some have armed themselves
with clubs.
Affairs at Hilo have quieted, and no
more trouble Is expected.

by the authorities, a dress parade of the

spectacle of an armed Isody of American

Tbe entire disappearance ol the
plague from Kobe ami tbe occurrence

in a fact attracting much attention. In
the later city it has assumed ita most
dangerous form, that ol luug attack,
aud has thus become the very breath of

only 30 casen have occurred there.

London, Feb. 8. Mr. Wyndham '
remarkable declaration in the bouse ol
commons that lireat Britain will have
In a lortnight 180,000 regular in South
Africa.7,000 Canadians and Austrsliau
and 28,000 South African volunteers, U
received with wmlennent. Ul "
total el 218,000 troop, with 4.V.' guns,
all are now there with the exception ol
lti.UOO that are afloat. Beyond com
parison thie is the largest force (ireat
Britain has ever put into the Held. At
the end of the Crimean war she had
scraped together 80,000. Wellington,
at Waterloo, had 26,000. Mr. Wynd
ham 'a speech was the strongest de
fense tbe government ha yet put for
ward aa to what ha been doue and if
being done.
The general tone of the morning
papers is that his figures will astonish
tba country. Kooghly speaking, only
80,000 men are at the front. Ten
thousand others have len lost, and
10,000 are shut up at Ladysmith. Kx
eluding these there are 70,000 troop
who have not yet been iu action, in
addition to those at sea.
Why so many effectives have not yet
been engaged l- explained by the lack
of land transportation and the organi
xatiou of supplies, to wbicb Lonl Bob
ert ia devoting his experience and Lord
Kitchener his genius for detail. D
teem a though the weight of then
masses must destroy the equilibrium
whleh now holds the British forces sta
tionary wherever they are in contact
with the Boer army.
Lack of trausporta and organization
will not explain adequately why,
w hen generals at the front request re
enforcement, they get them in rathei
mall numlier. Knowledge i slowly
penetrating to London that large garri
sons must la- kept iu Cape Colony to
bold down the Cape Dutch, who, at
every one knows, outnumber the Brit
ish resident there three to two.
Cable scraps received during the
last 12 hour do not fnrther illuminate
the military operations. Various inde
iiendcnt correstondent confirm the
report that (leneral Buller told bit
troops January 28 that he hoped to re
lieve Ladysmith within a week. It la
believed in some trustworthy quartets
that he is again assailing the Boer
line.
A further lint of casualties published
by the war office brings tbe total from
the crossing of tbe Tugela to the aban
donment of Spioukop to 1,985 officer
and men.
Kiceptional activity at the navy
yards continue, but a correspondent ol
the press learns that this is chiefly new
construction and refitting work. Three
ships will be commissioned at Devon
port this month.
Some unpleasant criticism of the
war office has loeu caused by the dis
covery that the night of Lee-Flnfleld
carbines are defective. Old carbines
have been supplied to the outgoing
Fourth brigade of cavalry.

tive Joseph Sibley, ol Pennsylvania,
who attained great prominence in the
64th congres by his earnest champion
ship of free silver, assailed his Demo
cratic colleagues today for their oppo
sition to expansion In a speech thai
made the floor aud galleries roar. Sib
ley had recanted his views ou free
silver, and is uow generally out of liue
with his colleagues on the Democratic
aide. He insisted today that expan
sion was an original Democratic doc
trine promulgated by Jefferson, and
adhered to by Madison, Jackson, Tyler,
Polk ami Buchanan In eloquent lan
guage he pictured the destiny of the
United States carrying the arts of
peace and the story of the cross to the
remotest corners of the globe. Sibley
received au impressive demonstration
when he closed.
The retnttiuder of the debate today
was uninteresting. It touched the
questions of mediation in the Trans
vaal, lynching iu the South and the
jury law in Hawaii. Not much pro
gress was made iu tbe Indian appro
priation bill, which was under con
sidemtiou. Nearly the entire morning hour in
the senate today was occupied by Allen,
of Nebraska, iu the discussion of the
report of Secretary Gage, concerning
his transactions with the National City
bank, of New York.
Daniel, of Virginia, then delivered
an extended speech on the pending

Oppoaed the propostion that the couutry

Mining Near Handon.
Messrs. Dixon St Stone, lessee of the
Madden mine, have piped off consid
erable surface, and are awaiting the
arrival of lumber from Adolphsen'
mill for sluices. When completed they
will commence piping in pay sand.
Mr. Butler, purchaser of the Zum
wait black nand mine, has six or aeven
men employed, and has done consider
able work, . lining night and day when
a good supply of water was on hand.
Mr. Butler says that the pay dirt was
.i' out 10 feet deep, but did not learn
a to the amount of dust he was taking
out.
Just across tbe river from Newtis,
Jim Culver Is mining, and has taken
advantage of the bouutilul supply of
water to pipe off the surface and be
will soon be able to test tbe richness of
his mine.
Messrs. Page and Tom Kelly, lessee
of the Deyve mine at China flat, have
beeu busy repairing flume and ditcher
aud commenced piping. They have
bad considerable trouble with their
Hume, falling timber having smashed
it at the same place three different
time.
Mlno Turns Out HI' h.
Lon fori ett, half owner in the
Koyal, one of the best in the now well
known up-river gmup of mines, has
brought to town half a suck of ore from
hi mine. A portion of it, selected at
random from tbe sack, was tested by
an asnayer of La iirande, and showed
$55 to the ton $45 of silver and $10
of gold. The owners of tha mine are
enthusiastic over the results thus far,
and are pushing the work rapidly.
They believe the ore is valuable enough
to be (hipped with profit. It costs,
according to previous estimates, for
wagon and railroad freightage and fur
smelting, $'.'4.50 per ton. If the ore
shall hold out an good as that shown In
the assay, it can be handled to advan
tage. But it is believed that at least
two mills will be erected before another
year, and this would meau the develop
ment of all the mines in that group.
The Koyal is located aliout five miles
from the line of the proposed new rail
road. 14 miles from Sumpter, and 15
mile from Granite.
