WASHINGTON. Dec 19.-Seuator Mason
of Illinois today introduced in fine Sep,.o

Tcuiture to inquire into certain legislation
pending before the German Reichstag. ca :

Germany of American sausages and other
meat products, and directing the commit+eo

went over until tomorrow. 1t is as follows.
''Whereas, it has come to the attention of
the people of the United States that there

contended for its construction by tha- gov
ernment of the United States. He had
been hopeful on this occasion that it might
be possible to eliminate the Maritime Canal
company from the question entirely. He
had voted against the company's charter in
1887. Still, said he, Morgan insists that
this accomplishment is out OF the question
at present. If this be true, the question now
was whether the work of constructing the
canal should proceed under the name of
the Maritime Canal company or be sus-
pended entirely.
He did not commit himself to vote for the
bill, even if his amendments were adopted,
but would determine that question when
vote was reached,
Mr. Berry then explained the provisions of
his amendments.
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska followed Mr. Berry.
He was not opposed to the canal scheme,
he said, because he antagonzed certain fea
lures of the bill. One of its most per-
nicious features would be eliminated by the
adoption of the Berry amendments, namely,
the bond feature.
Mr. Caffery of Louisiana, at the request
of Mr.. Turner, who was unavoidably absent,
read the latter's motion to postpone the
consideration of the bill until Jan. 10th.
Mr. Hoar said he thought the canal should
be built and at once.
Mr.. Morgan maintained that the conces-
sion of Nicaragua and Costa Rica was not
forfeitable next October. Mr.. Morgan said
that the Berry amendments for financing
the enterprise were more acceptable to him
than the provision of the committee. He
predicted that the United States would Sc
cure at least 5 per cent dividends upon its
investment, and drew glowing picture of
the use to which the funds could be put.
At p. m. the senate went into executive
session and at $3.50 adjourned.

IN THE HOUSE
Money Appropriated for the Phila-
delphia Exposition

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-This was sus-
pension day in the house, and several bills
were passed, the most important being the
bill appropriating $3.50, 900 for the Phiadel-
pha exposition of 1899. The vote was ex-
ceedingly close, it having but two votes more
than the necessary two-thirds. Bills were
also passed under suspension OF the rules to
authorize the distribution of the assets of
the Freedmen's bank; to enlarge the scope
of the fish commission to include game birds !;
for the relief of the Fourth mounted Arkan-
sas infantry, and for the relief of John f.
Lewis of Oregon.
Mr. Bailey of Texas introduced resou-
ton in the open house directing the Judiciary
committee to investigate and report on the
question to whether the members of the
house who had accepted commissions in the
army had forfeited their seats in the house.
He made the resolution text for some re-
marks, in the course of which he took oc-
casion to bitterly denounce a newspaper
statement to the effect that in his attitude
on this question he bad been made cats
paw by prominent Republicans in the house.
He denounced the Republican who had in
stigated the statement as an Infamous liar
and challenged him to father it, There was
no reply to Mr.. Bailey's statement, and the
resolutions were referred to the committee
on rules.
Mr.. Dingley from the committee on ways
and means offered resolution for holiday
recess from Wednesday, Dec. 2lst, to We'd
nesday, Jan. 4th, and it was adopted with
out division.
A special order was also made setting aside
Jan. 9Th for the consideration of bills re-
ported by the judiciary committee.
This being suspension day, Mr. Wagner
OF Pennsylvania, Republican, moved the
passage under a suspension of the rules of
the bill for the proposed Philadelphia exposi-
ton of American products and manufac-
lures in 1899.
MIR. Bailey of Texas, Democrat, demanded
second. When the result of the vote was
announced, 94 ayes and "a noes. Mr.. Bailey
made the point of no quorum. The speaker
counted ia members present and declared
the demand seconded. This allowed twen
ty minutes on side for debate. The bill
finally passed-l42 to Tor a margin of two

A REPORTER TfSTIflfS
IN THE TRIAL OF MRS. BOTKIN
FOR MURDER
John P. Dunning, Husband of One of
the Victims, Also on the
Stand
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. Blowing t,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l9.-Owing tc
the death of Jurors sister there was nc
morning session in the Botkin case today.
The taking of evidence at the afternoon
session commenced with Miss Lizzie Liver
nash, reporter, being called to the witness
stand. Miss Livernash explained that she
was detailed to interview Mrs. Botkln at
HeeIldsburg, where the accused was in Sc
clusion at the time of the murder. Miss
acquaintance with Dunning, as Mrs. Bot
kin had told it to her. When told that she
was suspected, the accused became hyster-
ical. and said why should | be accused
1t would have been better to have killed the
man and spared the mother to her child.
Witness said the prisoner spoke OF some
letters in connection with the case, and
asked witness if handwriting experts would
be able to identity the writing of a person
laboring under great excitement. Mrs. Bot
kin also spoke Of the acrimonious letters
sent to Mrs. Dunning, and said they were
sent by woman in San Francisco. On one
occasion, while Miss Livernash was with
Mrs. Botkin in Stockt on, Mrs. Botkin sson,
Beverly, entered the house in a state OF in
toxcation, and made remarks concerning
his mothers relations with Dunning. Mrs
Botkin turned to Miss Livernash, appealing
ly, saying: What shall | do! My son has
tbs power to damn me-
Late this afternoon John p. Dunning,
husband of one of the victims OF the Dover
tragedy, was called to the stand. He testi-
fled as to his relations with Mrs. Botkin,
and described with some degree of detail,
their affairs up to- the time he left this city
for Cuba where he was to do newspaper
work. He said that he had received many
letters from Mrs. Botkin, but had destroyed
them as fast as they came.
On his return from Salt Lake City, in Au-
gust, 1897, Mrs. Botkin said she had OBJ
tanned a divorce from her husband. and for
ii long time he believed this to be true. He
had told Mrs. Botkin on one occasion that
his wife was passionately fond of candy.
He identified the anonymous letters, the
address on the box of candy, and the en-
closed note as being in the handwriting OF
Mrs. Botkin.
On cross-examination, Attorney Knight
asked Dunning if he had been intimate with
other women. On replying in the affrma-
tive, he was asked to name them. This he
refused to do. Knight insisted on a reply,
and Judge Cook ordered him to answer lie
again refused, whereupon the judge com
mitted him for contempt until the question
was answered. Court then adjourned un-
til tomorrow.

An Opposite Opinion

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
One of the bestinformed men in Spain on
the subject of the Philippine archipelago,
having lived in the Philippines for long
time and being personally acquainted with
the leaders of the present insurrection,
thinks the Americans will not meet with
much difficulty in establishing their do
minion over the archipelago.
In regard to the monks, OF whom he spoke
without animosity, he thought they con
stituted the power in the country which
could be utilized, but their sphere OF action,
he thought, should be limited to purely re.
ligious and moral functions.
Spain, he said, has not lost much in los
ing the Philippines. Instead of Spanish
colony, it was a monastic colony, the enor-
nous profits of which went to Rome and
into .ne hands of chiefs of various orders
which exploited the archipelago.
There are many who think that the origin
of all the instructions of the Tagalos was
the creation by the monks of universities at
Manila, which distributed every year a
who thus regarded themselves as young lit
erary men, but who had more arrogance
than knowledge The monks filled the
empty heads Of the Tagalos with theory of
Roman law and the philosophy of st. Au-
gustine and st. Thomas.
Masonic lodges and Spanish liberal demo
cratic newspapers quickly transformed this
kind of learning into revolutionary aspira-
tions and protested against an insaipporta-
bic theocratic domination. 1t is very proba.
Bile that few schools of the arts and crafts
of agriculture would have produced abso.
lutely the contrary results.
The power OF the Tagalos in comparison
with the Americans is much exaggerated.

CALLED A COUNCIL
To Consider the Matter of County
Commissions

OAKLAND, Dec. l9.-Suit has been be-
gun against the state in behalf of Alameda
county to recover Sl04 ,3l6, alleged to be due
for services rendered by county officials in
the collecting and handling of state taxes
during the past five fiscal years. This ac-
tion is in harmony with the course of Off
Gals of other counties, whose claims are
said to aggregate over one million dollars.
Several years ago the legislature provided
by an act that a certain commission should
be allowed the counties for collecting the
states portion of the revenue. The legis-
ature passed bill repeating this act. Now
the county officials claim that the act cut
ting off their commissions was repealed by
a subsequent act, passed in 1893 The coun-
ties claim credit in their next settlement
with the state of all the unpaid commissions
since the passage of the act of 1898.
On Wednesday conference of interest
ed county officials, their counsel, Controller
Colgan and the attorney general will be
held at Sacramento. to consider the Ques-
ton of speedy settlement.

Church Conditions

NEW YORK, Dec. l9.-Archbishop Ire
land of st. Paul was seen at the Holland
house, where he had been stopping during
his stay in New York, and said, regarding
the attitude of the Roman Catholic church
in the Philippines:
the Philippines! The church in the Phil
ippines will, have no doubt, accustom itself
to the conditions under the new regime, as
it did under the old. The church will ac-
cept the conditions that are to be just as OF
accepts them in this country. All the CIV
ilizaton that the Philippines have has been
received from the priests. They are the
representatives of social and civil ORDER in
the islands. The people were taught by the
priests and they were taught too much. The
priests will uphold this government as they
upheld the government of Spain. That is,
! as the representatives of order, they will
uphold the existing government. This gov
eminent will have to depend upon the
priests to large extent for their moral in
iluence in law and order
''The government will do we'll not to an
tagonize the priests And l will say, I
know it is not the policy of the government
to antagonze them nor is there any -dispo-
sition to do so in any quarter"
The archbishop was asked if the purpose
of his visit to Washington had been to dis
cuss this matter with the president He
said:
Il saw the president, but cannot say
what the subject of conversation was. There
is no truth in the published report that the
archbishop of Manila has issued circular
OF an unfavofable character against the
United States Aguinaldo is jealous of the
powers of the priests and wants to rule alb.
soutely himself.
"The conduct of the priests will depend
entirely upon the policy of the United
States in the Philippines, and that, have
no doubt, will be the same as in this coun-
try"
