longing to the late Governor Oden
Bowie, of Collineton, Md, died few
days ago. The horse was the favorite
of the governor, and stood at the head
OF the list of thoroughblels in the
United States. He OUTRAGED Hindoo
in ono of the greatest contests ever seen
on the American turf, and at Pimlico
won the Dixie and Breckinridge stakes
years ago. Crickmore was king of the
turf on all the eastern tracks, and Gov.
ernor Bowie refused fabulous sums for
him. In his ole age the horse was ten

THE President says "we can not
leave the Filipinos to euarcby after de-
stroying the government they had"
Old time people want to know what
the government the Filipinos had was
avssIvyvl for. the spanish war was
fought, SO Mr.. Mckinley says, for hu-
manity and to relieve the Cuban ne
groes and scalawags from the alleged
cruelty of Spaniards, and unquestiOn-
ably that object was not effected by the
destruction of all government in the
Philippine Islands. But these are the
days of transparent humbuggery, not Of
common sense.

A NORTHERN republican newspape

A NORTHERN republican newspaper,
speaking of the American members OF
the Paris commission, says "they come
back triumphant after 8 victory as
notable in its way as Dewey's or Samp'
sons" As Dewey met with no resist
ance and as Sampson was ten miles
away from the fleeing Spanish fleet,
neither, in former times, would be
apotheosized, and how the commission
ers referred to can come back "tri-
umphant" when they merely carried out
the instructions with which they start
ed, and when their demands, even If the
terms had been exactipg, would have
been granted, as Spain was powerlesst to
resist them, is what only Northern
lingo republican can tell.

MR.. MCKINLEY's presidency was
bought with money and the promise Of

"our financial policy cannot be changed
for at least four years." If faith should

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, December 10.


A communication from the Acting
Secretary of the Treasury was read III
the Senate to- day reciting that pay for
transporting volunteers had been with
held from the State of Virginia, for the
reason that under decision of the
COMPTROLLER the State is indebted TO
the United States government.
The Senate passed, on motion OF Mr..
Lodge, resolution requesting the
President to investigate alleged out
RACES recently upon American citizens
at Pekin, China, and to demand in
demnitv of the Chinese government.
Mr.. Culiom gave notice that imme-
diately after the conclusion of the
speech OF Mr.. Plat, of Connecticut, on
the expansion policy, to-day, he would
call up the anti scalping bill, with a
view of having it passed by tho Senate.
The measure has been lying on the
Vice Presidents desk since it came
over from the House.
1t being usual to refer House bills to
committees, Mr.. Chandler, who is OPP.
posed to the proposed law, expressed
surprise that it had not taken the usual
course. He insisted that number OF
Senators wished to be heard.
Mr.. Sullivan also protested but Mr..
Cullom replied that it was hi1 'purpcse
to press the bill to-day.
Mr. Teller gave notice that he would
speak on the expansion question to-
morrow.
Senator Mason introduced retalia-
tory resolution against Germany. As
Germany discriminates against Ameri-
can sausage the Illinois Senator pro-
poses that this country shall put an
embargo upon German products. He
proposes to speak on his resolution TO
morrow if opportunity presents itself
Speaking 20 the resolution OF Mr..
Vest, regarding colonies, Mr.. Platt
said he believed in expansion; he be-
Iieved that this was nation in the
largest sense, and quoted from Pomeroy
and from decisions of the Supreme
Court to prove the sovereignty OF the
United States, aod that they lacked nc
element ofnstonality. Jackson, Web
ster and Lincoln believed in it. Mr..
Piatt said he did Dot propose to discuss
expansion SO much as he proposed to
take issue with Mr.. Vest that the new
policy is not in accordance with the
constitution of the United States.
At 2 o'clock Mir. V. Platt had not
concluded his lengthy constitutional
arguments as to the right and power Of
the United States TO acquire territory
| rhe regular order at that hour was the
Nicaragua canal bill, but by unanimous
couseno the Connecticut Senator con-
tinued his speech. Just then Mr.
Chandler wanted to know if Mr.. Gull
ION intended this afternoon to call up
the "apti-scalping" bill.
Mr. Cullom's reply was that he prob
ably would not as Mr.. Morgan might
no. be willing to have the canal Dill
temporarily laid aside. The latter re-
marked that his bill had the right OF
way, and he would insist on its further
consideration to day.

HOUSE.

The House IS the opening business
te-day agreed to adjourn on Wednes-
day till January 4th. Mr.. Bailey
offered s. resolution of the highest priv.
!ege-which was referred to the iudici-
airy committee-directing the commit
tee to inquire whether any member of
Congress now holds commission in
the army; and il by so holding e com.
mission, such ones have not vacated
their seats in the House. Mr.. Bailey said
his attention had been called by g mem
Der of the press, to the fact that Colson,
of Kentucky, and Campbell, OF Illinois.
had answered present-as the Record
end journal show. As to Campbell,
ne said the journal was incorrect as
Campbell told him he had looked into
the matter, and no longer considered
himself member Of the House. As to
Colson, Mr.. Bailey desired the judici
airy committee 10 make en- inquiry.
Mr.. Wagner brought up the bill to
appropriate $3.50, 900 for the permanent
Philadelphia ommercial Museum.
Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, said
The bill which had passed the Senate
last March would be of vast interest TO
the export trade of this country and be
cited numerous cases where Congress
had made large appropriations for
American expectations. The aporo-
Driation was to be contingent upon the
raising OF 100000 additional by the
Philadelphia people, and the building
is to be completed in 1899 Mr. Burke,
of Texas, said his State had few years
ago asked for some privileges for the
Texas Exposition, and the stentorian
voice of the gentleman from New York
payne end the mellihuous voice of
the gentleman from Pennsylvania,
DalzelD, were raised against the bill.
Mr.. Dalzell asked if Mr.. Burke meant
to compare State fair with National
Museum.
"Better compare it with State fair
than city fair" retorted MIR. Burke.
He opposed such appropriations.
Mr.. Doekery declared the bill was
naked proposition for the government
of the United States to enter into q
partnership with private corporation
for the benefit of manufacturers. Why
should the whole people OF the United
States be taxed for the enterprise? II
ought to be followed by measures TO
give the farmers and miners Of the
West tie same cid.
Mr.. Bailey called it city museum
and declared if the appropriation were
granted Congress could not refuse such |
appropriations to other cities, and the
demand would become Unsuitable.
The aye and nay vote was recorded |
and showed 142 for the bill, and 20 |
against it, thus passing it.
On motion of Mr.. Van Voorhis, the |
House suspended the rules and passed |
a bill to permit the Freedmen's Saving
and Trust Company TO distribute some
S95, 900 due TO poor depositors of that
company.
Toe House made January 18Th the
day for special order for business by
the interstate commerce committee of
the House.
On motion of Mr.. Dingley ut PAS
o'clock the House adjourned until TO.
morrow.
