To the Senate of the United States:--I

ANNExINO PHILIP PINES.
The House Listens to the First Speech In
Opposition to Annexation.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The house
yesterday listened to the first speech
on the annexation of the Philippines.
Mr. Williams of Mississippi, Demo
cratic member of the foreign affairs
committee, in an hours speech stated
his opposition to policy which would
bring the islands under the sphere of
United States influence. He contended
that it would be hostile to the spirit of
our institutions to assume control over
5000, 900 unwilling souls; that annexa-
ton would cost us 81 40, 900, 900 year;
that the annexation of the islands met
none of the tests which applied to our
past acquisitions of territory, and
would be mistake from social, polit-
ical and material standpoint. Mr..
Williams remarks received careful at
tention, and several times drew APP
plause from his Democratic colleagues.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was passed without material comment.
1t carried 81, 500, 3s2, or $1s7, 100 more

NO TREATY NEEDED.
fuhs Declares Senator Teller Regarding
Acquisition or New Territory.


Washington, d.. c., Dec. Ex-senator
Teller occupied the first half of yester-
days session of the senate with
speech in advocacy of the theory that
there are no restrictions upon the right
of the United States to expand it's
borders SO as to include far distant
territory. He went quite thoroughly
into the legal points bearing upon the
question, and incidentally discussed at
some length the form of government
for the Philippines, saying that he
will encourage self-government among
the islanders and would give them the
most liberal government which they
were capable of conducting, but that
he would not take down the American
flag where once planted. The remain
der of the session was given up to the
Nicaragua canal bill. Senator Gallery
was the only speaker on this subject
and he opposed the Morgan bill.

Washington, Dec. 2l,--Former Sec

emotion, the ex-secretary said:
