DISCUSSED IN SENATE.

Results of the War and the Need
For Revenue.

Washington June 16.-Five minutes
after the opening of the senate's session
today the message clerk of the house of
representatives delivered to the senate the
Hawaiian annexation resolution, passed
by the house last evening.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Davis, of Min

At / o'clock the special order. q bill for
the restoration of annuities to the Sisse-
ton and Wahpeton bands of Sioux In

til 1912, when the treaty VIII terminate,
but no Indian who participated IN the
Minnesota massacre and no descendant or
such Indian shall receive any part OF the
Mr. Allison strongly opposed the bill,
declaring it to be a mere gratuity, which
would cost the government at least
50, 600 900.
At o'clock Mr. Allison had not con-
cluded his remarks.
THE BANK BILL.
The Indian bill then gave way to the
unfinished business, the bill to incorporate

the bill maintaining that the proposed
bank was unnecessary and was an enter
prise with which the United states gov
eminent ought to have nothing TO do.
Mr. Seweli, of New Jersey, said the es-
Establishment of the proposed bank would
certainly encourage trade with South
American countries. 1t would be one of
the first acts upon the part of this coun-
try, looking to the development of our
southern trade. He was satisfied that
steamship lines would follow the incor-
poration of the bank. AS a business man
he heartily commended the measure.
At Abs p. m. the bill was LAID aside, the
senate went into executive session and at

IN THE HOUSE.
Former Postmaster General Gary
Censured-War Revenue.

CenSured-War Revenue.
Washington, June 16-In the house to-
day Mr.. DingIey Rep. Me.) called up the
bill supplemental to the war revenue
measure designed to supply some omis-
Sions and to strengthen the means OF adj
miniStering the revenue act. 1t eXemptS
from taxation mutual, casualty, fidelity
and guarantee companies conducted not
for profit. After explanation by Mr.. Ding
ley, the bill was passed.
The house passed bill authorizing the
construction Of a bridge across Niagara
river at Grand Island and then went into
committee of the whole to consider the
general deficiency bill.
In the general debate upon the bill Mr.
Wilson Dem. s. CO delivered a speech
in support of the Lodge immigration bill,
and Mr.. Carmack Dem. TENN spoke
upon the probability of the year ending in
aggression. Arguing from this conclusion
and the necessity for greatly increased
naval and military strength and the in
evitable participation in frequent inter-
national WrangleS, Mr.. Carmack contend
ed that the internal features of the war
revenue bill would necessarily become per-
manent fixtures OF the country'S revenue
system and be a perpetual incuisitorial
burden.
The reading of the bin called forth
cauStic criticism from Mr.. Loud (Rep.
CALI and Mr.. Johnson (Rep. Ind upon
former Postmaster General Gary for hav-
ing added 346 letter carriers to the service
and increased incidental expenses, there
by causing an expense unauthorized by
law, exceeding the poStoffice appropria-
ton. They contended that he acted
wrongfully and should have kept the lex
penditure within the appropriations made
by the last congress.
A heated debate was thus DreciDitated
over the paragraph carrying $4,000 for
the postoffice deficiency, but it was not
passed and the house, at 5:12 p. m. ad-
journed.

ON THE M'KEE CASE.
Vernalites Took Great Interest In
The Herald Report.

Vernal, June ,13.-The opinion of the
state supreme court, which was handed
down in the James J. Mckee case, an
account OF which appears in The Her
aid that arrived tonight, is creating
considerable interest here. The opinion,
which affirms the judgment of the
local authorities, who fought the cases
successfully through the district court,
and with no little attendant expense.
Mckee is now in the state prison, serV-
ing a four-year term for an assault
committed upon County Attorney f. 5.
Luetni last winter. This attempt upon
the life of the county attorney was,
no doubt, the out growth of bad blood
engendered during the vigorous prose
cution of the grand larceny charges
against the Mckee brothers.
Four brothers were implicated in the
charges filed, which, it will be remem-
bered, was the wholesale slaughter of
sheep upon the range. 1t was cattle
mems lawless revenge for the devasta-
ton of the country over which their
herds had roamed for many years.
George Mckee was sentenced to four
years at the same time, and the opin-
ion will cover his case also. There
are two others yet to be tried, whose
cases went over at the time, pending
the decision of the higher court, in the
appeal of the case against James.
They viii now, no doubt, come before
the court at the July term.

NO PROSPECT OF PEACE NOW
DEPARTURE OF ARMY PRE-
VENTS NEGOTIATIONS.
With An Aggressive Land Campaign
Inaugurated, Neither Side Can En-
terrain Proposals For Peace.

Washington, June ia leading
member of the diplomatic corps said
today that the departure of General
Skaters army of invasion into Cuba
put an end to all present prospects of
peace. While none of the foreign rep
resentatives has ever made peace rep
reservations to the government, yet
peace negotiations always seemed TO
the members of the diplomatic frater-
nity as within possibility, even proba-
biiity, so long as the troops remained
at Tampa and Key West. Now, how
ever, with $1,000 American soldiers
about to take a position on Spanish
soil it is said that the conditions OPP
perfume for peace have undergone a
material change, as it commits the
United States to an aggressive land
campaign, and also makes it inpossi-
Bile for Spain to adopt any other course
than that of defending her soil against
invasion The presence of our ships at
Manila, Havana and Santiago have
not, this diplomat stated, constituted
an actual invasion, although the ships
have wrought much damage. The
SHIPS could have been withdrawn at
any time But with $4,000 troops landed
on Cuban soil a new and more serious
phase of the conflict was presented.
instead of blockading and beleaguer-
ing a few Spanish cities the American
army now enters Spanish territory,
and that advanced the scompaign from
a passive to an active and offensive
condition. For this reason, he said, the
hopes of a peaceful solution of the con-
fiict had passed away, and he believed
they could not be revived until the re-
suit Of this first Cuban invasion was
determined. This would take some
months, probably all summer. for this
aggressive land movement would be
followed by others, each one making
the prospect of peace more remote.
IF peace proposition had come be-
fore General Shafter sailed, diplomatic
officials are inclined TO believe it would
be eagerly accepted by Spain, and
would have stood some chance of con-
sideration by the United States.
The cabinet crisis in France may ex-
ert other indirect influence on the
present war.
What is feared, particularly in diplo-
matte circles, is that Hanotauxs with
drawal along with the Moline cabinet
will bring some fiery deputy to the
head of the foreign office, thus giving
free rein to the popular ill-feeiing
