DROPPING IN NOW.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARRIVING
AT WASHINGTON.
DANIEL ON PHILIPPINE MATTER
He VIII Await the Treaty Before Ex-
pressing Himself Fully-One OF VIZ
ginia's Dispersed Abroad Sub
stnntiaI Citizen of Montana.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 90
Special -Members Of Congress are be-
ginning to drop in at quite a lively rate,
and it is expected that there will be a
full attendance at the opening OF the
session. So far, Senator Daniel is the
only Virginian on the ground, and he
leaves to-day for home, but will return
by the 5th of December.
The Senator is here attending a meet
ing of the Industrial Commission, Of
which he is member, and is also at
tending to some legal matters before the
Supreme Court, as well as getting ready
quarters for the winter. He IS enthusiast
tic over the Democratic success in
Virginia last election, and does not an
ticipate that any of the Democratic rep
resentatives from Virginia will be I'M
seated. He thinks Spain should be re-
quired to give up the government Of the
Philippines, but he is not prepared TO
give an opinion as to their acquisition by
the United States. Until he sees the
treaty he will not discuss the subject, as
there are q variety OF circumstances and
conditions with which We are yet unac-
ouainted.
In addition to the treaty, the COM
mission will probably make an elaborate
report, and Admiral Dewey and General
Otis may also be heard from. There is
great deal of light yet TO be thrown on
the subject, and it is easily to be seen
that we may yet be compelled to ac-
cept terms and responsibilities, which,
TO say the least, we do not regard as
very desirable.
