ANNEXATION.
Nr. Williams Against Policy
Of Retaining Philippines.

Washington, Dec 2O.-The House to-
day listened to the first speech on the
subject of the annexation of the Phil
ippines,
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi a demo-
cratic member of the foreign affairs
committee. in an hours speech, stated
his opposition to a policy which would
bring the islands under the sphere Of
United States influence. He contend
ed that it would be hostile to the spirit
of our institutions to assume control
over nine millions of unwilling subjects,
that annexation would cost us $40, GOO. :
600 year that the annexation of the
islands met none of the tests which APP
piled to our past acquisitions of terri
tory, and would be a mistake from
social, political and material stand
point. Mr.. Williams remarks received
careful attention and several times
drew applause from his democratic col
leagues.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was passed without material amend
ment. 1t carries S36,961, 1872, or $751;, 12O
more than the current law. Several
resolutions from the river and harbor
committee, calling upon the secretary
Of war for estimates as to the cost of
certain proposed river and harbor work,
were adopted.
At the opening Of the Hosse. Mr..
Cannon (rep) of Illinois called up the
conference report on the army and
navy deficiency bill, and moved its
adoption.
Mr.. De Almond (dem) of Missouri
asked whether the e-appropriation of
the balance of the S50,000,O00 to be ex-
pended under the direction of the presi-
dent, would In any way sanction or au-
thorize the payment out of that fund
of 100000 each to Whitelaw Reid ana
Judge Day for services as peace com
missioners Some Of the newspapers
had reported that such payment was
to be made, Mr. De Almond said.
Mr.. Cannon said he knew nothing
about it. He had seen the statement
and also it's denial, and he called al
tention to the fact that the original
