PASSED BY THE SENATE,



mixing the Cuban Insurgents.
Washington. April 25.-After a debate
of one hour and half conducted in
secret session, the senate to-day passed
bill declaring that a state of war
existed between the United States and
Spain. The bill was in the same Ian
guage as that passed by the house.
The debdte I'm the senate was based on
an amendment offered by Senator Tur-
pie providing for the recognition of the
bellfgerent rights of the insurgent Gu
bans, the amendment being practically
In the following language:
I'VE recognize the rights of the Gu
ban army under General Gomez. to be
treated as belligerents, the freedom and
independence of the Cuban people hav-
ing heretofore been recognized by act
of congress"
The same amendment had been urged
in the committee on foreign relations
previous to the reporting of the bill to
the senate and the Indiana senator only
agreed to the bringing in of the bill on
condition that his amendment should
be presented to the senate. Both in
committee and in the senate. Mr.. Tur-
pie made elaborate argument in sup
port of his proposition. The roll of the
senate was called upon this amendment
and it was defeated by a majority of IA,
the vote standing "A to 49,
There was also some criticism of thc
fact that the bill fixed a date In the
past when the war had begun. Sena-
tor Pettigrew declared that the 21st was
evidently used in order to make legal
the capture of the lumber vessel, the
Buena Ventura, on that date. He char
acterized this as a small piece of busi-
ness for either the administration or
congress to indulge in, and said that
under the circumstances, IL he had been
president. he would have returned the
chin its OWnpre He nredicted th at
the courts would in the end settle the
claim against us, regardless of the dec
laration.
Senator Davis replied briefly to this
point by saying that the date was no.
fixed by the capture of the Buena Ven
tura. but by the recognition of the
Spanish government of a state of war
as made on the 21st and as outlined in
the presidents message.
Senator White took up the Pettigrew
contention. holding chat the president
had indicated no date for the beginning
OF hostilities but that ne had rather
shown In his message that he consid-
cred that the negotiations had by no
means reached the point Of hostilities
Mr.. White said that 1t was his purpose
to support the administration in all
reasonable measures for the prosecu-
tion OF the war, but he did not regard
the fixing of this date as in any sense
a response to a presidential request.
There was a general plea for speedy
action on this bill and no amendment
was pressed for a change OF date. This
motive also actuated Senator Davis TO
Withdraw an amendment suggested by
the committee on foreign relations. di-
recting the president to prosecute the
war to a successful termination. This
amendment was withdrawn in order to
leave the bill just as II had passed the
house, thus dispensing with the neces-
sity of a conference and making 1t pos
sible 10 send the bill to the president
to-day. There was no division on the
massage of the bill

At 4:55 p. m. the message clerk of the

OF war between the United States and

Washington, April 25.-The war bill
was brought from the capitol by the
clerk of the enrolling division and
reached the white house few minutes
before s. The white house was almost
deserted at the time, not one OF the

Attorney General Riggs. The enrolled
copy of the bill was laid before the
president in his Office Immediately upon
it's arrival and he at once went over
the phraseology with Attorney General
Griggs. The presidential signature was
affixed at 6:lS and the measure was
then the law of the land.
Ii will now follow the regular course
of executive documents and will be
sent 10 the rolls division of the state

THEY KNoWTHEIR BUSINESS
Do the Rock Island Aldermen il They Do
Not Please Davenport.


The second refusal on the part OF
the Rock Island city council TO per-
NIT the Terminal company or any
other railroad corporation to cross I'M
necessarily the levee which Rock ISL
and is now engaged at considerable
expense in constructing has again
started some of the Davenport papers
to making disparaging comments on
the attitude of the council on this
side. The aldermen are accused of
keeping Mr.. Blair and his enterprise
on the rack, of not being inclined to
give the company an opening here,
of blocking a great improvement. etc.
The Davenport papers indulging in
this comment do not know what they
are talking about and beyond that the
Rock Island aldermen are not looking
to the town across the river for sug-
gestions as to how to dispose of river
front privileges on this side. AS far
as the Terminal company is concerned
it has received quite as much en-
enlargement in Rock Island as it has
in Davenport. has been as freely given
every privilege it has asked for, and
perhaps it was the ease with which
Mr.. Blair won his way through Rock
Island that leo MIN 10 suppose he
could obtain the extraordinary rights
he last petitioned for for the mere
asking. Mr.. Blair has not been
shut out of Rock Island because
the council has refused to give him
the levee. The Terminal company
with the cooperation of the other rail
roads having rights on the river front
will, if the desired connecting switch
is of the vital Importance that it is
represented to be, eventually devise
a scheme to meet the requirements of
the situation without trespassing on
the city's rights, and then it is safe to
say it will be cheerfully given. The
city of Rock Island is right in pro-
tecting her levee, no matter who is |
or how fierce is the wall |
that comes over from Davenport.

NOW HAVE STRONGER HOPES
Davenport-s Mile Track Association Re-
organized

organized.
The Davenport Mile Track associa-
ton has reorganized on basis and
plan that promise better things fol
the associations future. Col q. Wat
son French has assigned his interests
in the mile track property to the Da-
Venport Mile Track Trotting associa-
ton, and the making out of the pa
pers, the Democrat says, marks the
opening of what is hoped will prove
to be great advancement in horse
racing in Davenport. The old Daven-
port Mile Track association is dead
and the new association will hereafter
have charge of all racing sports in the
city across the river. Col. G.. Watson
French is president of the newly in
corporated organization, W. ID. Peter
sen, vice president, and A. W. Wander
Veer, secretary aud treasurer. The
Davenport association has heretofore
been independent, but steps have al
ready been taken to join the regular
circuit. which will do much to in
crease the interest in racing. It had
been decided to hold two big meets
next year, one in July and another in
September.
The history of the Davenport Trot-
ting association has not been a very
pleasant one for the stockholders.
Many have lost money in times past,
but the new arrangements thought to
be winner for all concerned. In
May, 1897, mortgage was forcclosed
by the German Savings bank, and the
property was sold to Col. q. Watson
French for $42, 1000. Friday the firm
assigned to the new corporation and

closing the transaction.
