THE PEACE TREATY.
Senator Warren Discusses 1t In 4
General Way

Senator Francis E. Warren. of wyo-
ming. Chairman of the Committee on Ir-
rigation and Reclamation of Arid Lands,
said:
Many matters of general interest will
demand attention at the session of Con-
gress which will convene Monday. | as
sumo that the peace treaty will be the
most important matter coming up for
discussion.
Next in importance will be the bill for
the construction OF canal through Mica
raSua connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific Oceans. l do not look for any cur
rency legislation at this session. Indeed,
| do not see how such legislation is prob
able, in view of the fact that the two
houses are as wide apart as the two
oceans on the currency question"

THE NICARAGUA WATERWAY.

Representative Cannon Thinks Ac-
tion Is Exceedingly Doubtful.
Representative Joseph G. Cannon of Illi-
nois, Chairman of the House Appropria-
tions Committee. said the appropriation
for the coming Congress would of neces-
sity. be larger than the appropriations
made in short sessions of prior Con-
crosses. This, however, as he explained,
is caused by the enlarged responsibilities
of the Government.
He did not now believe that Congress
would attempt currency legislation, and
thought action on the Nicaragua Canal
exceedingly doubtful.

ACTION OF THE SENATE.
MIR. Gear Expects the Treaty to. he
Unanimously Ratified.

Senator Gear of Iowa had just finished
luncheon when reporter for The Times
called on him at the Portland yesterday
afternoon.
Il am going to vote for the ratification
of the peace treaty. the senator said
land 1 do not think there will be any
difficulty in getting the Senate to act
unanimously in support of it. 1 have
heard of some expected opposition to the
ratification of the treaty. but 1 think it
will be indorsed without a single amend
ment
Il am in favor of a large army and
military government for the Philippines
for the present at least. There will be no
extra session of Congress, and there will
be no financial or tariff measures dis
cussed''

NO OPINION ON EXPANSION.
Representative Dorr Thinks the
War Was Well Managed.

Representative Charles P. Dorr. of West
Virginia. when seen at Hotel johnson last
night, said he had no views on expansion
or imperialism. He had not followed the
matter, he said. and was not prepared to
express himself. On the subject of the
management of the war; however, Mr.
Dorr appeared to be exceedingly well in
formed. and talked freely.
I'm my opinion he said. ''the war was
as ably managed as could be expected
under the circumstances. During the lnt-
ter part of the last session of Congress 1
visited Camp Alger and made a thorough
inspection. No doubt the location of the
camp at that place. where there was no
water. was a mistake, but l think that
the War Department cannot be charged
with criminal negligence in this case. The
amount of suffering and hardship in the
last war does not compare with that of
the Civil War

THE MONEY QUESTION.
Senator Mason Sees No Prospect of
Remedial Legisiatfon.

Senator Mason of Illinois. Chairman Of
the Committee on Manufactures, said:
81 do not know precisely what will be
done at the coming session in the way
of general legislation. OF course we
would all be glad to see currency-re-
form bill pass, but so long as Congress
remains as now constituted do not see
any opportunity for remedial legislation
on the currency question.
Concerning the Nicaragua Canal there
is much to be said. The sentiment of the
country seems to be favorable to the
construction of Il waterway between the
two oceans, but considerable difference of
opinion exists as to the details of the
various plans. 1 have no doubt. however,
that a canal will be authorized some time
in the near future

A communication has been received at
the State Department from Consul Clancy.

that the new tariff which went into op-
Grafton last September has been revoked.
1t proved so unsatisfactory that the gov
ernment of Nicaragua ordered its revoca-
ton and a return to the old rates.

NOT READY FOR CIVIL Law.
MIR. Overstreet's Idea of Govern
ment i'm Our Eastern Islands.

Representative Overstreet of Indiana
said yesterday that there should be no
haste in providing a form of government
for the Philippines. 1t would be a good
idea, he thought, to keep them under mil
itary control for some time. military
government was more elastic, he thought,
than any other, and could meet conditions
and contingencies as they developed.
Tariff notifications, said Mr.. Over
street. could be made at will. As long as
we had the Philippines, we should take
care of them. 1t was our duty to govern
them justly and well, and this nation
could be depended on to do that. He
| thought no form of civil government
should be given to the islands within a
year at least.

Hut Representative Lloyd Objects
to the Philippines.

James r Lloyd, Democratic representa-
tive from the First Missouri district Is
in favor of expansion to a certain extent.
1.-THE people of my district" he. said,
believe in the acquisition of Porto Rico
and also Cuba, If it can be acquired by
honorable means, but they do not believe
in extending the expansion policy as far
as the Philippines. Nor do 1 believe in
giving twenty millions for the islands.
IF we are entitled to them at all they
are ,1rs by right of conquest. Personally,
1 would not give twenty cents for the
whole lot. In my opinion the natives
can never become American citizens.
Congress Is in honor bound to make
the appropriation to pay for them. If the
treaty is ratified by the Senate, but l
do not believe that the American citizens
should be made to pay such an amount
for the advancement of the natives of the
islands,"

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Senator Proctor Would Like to $,
Action Taken

Senator Redfeld Proctor of Vermont
Chairman of the Committee on AgricuI-
ture and Forestry. said:
1T is not possible at this time to say
what will be done at the concluding ses-
sion of the Fifty-fifth Congress. I assume
that little legislation apart from the reg
ular routine will be attempted. This IS
generally the case during the short ses-
sion. l should like to see some action
taken on the currency question. but there
does not seem to be any prob ability of it
al this session.

ticularly when it became known
that it was the result of a confer
ence between the author, the pres
ident and leaders in congress. As
for Gen. Lees case, the news of the
satisfactory ending of the incident
through the Withdrawal of the sug-
gestion by Spain was expected as
soon as it was noted that a loophole
had been left open through the
failure to make the complaint in
anything like an official shape.
Late in the afternoon Senior
Dubosc received a cipher cable srom
the minister of state at Madrid,
Senior Gullon, saying; 'You can

HE MADE A GUN PLAY.

Last night, Lafayette Hilton, a
negro said to be a tough character,
and Away on the fight, raised
Cain out on Rose Hill near the
Hearou Saloon.
Mr.. Hearon telephoned for an Of
dcer and Immediately Dave Ed
wards went out. When be arrived
be and Hearon went to look the
negro up, the same having depart
ed. They soon located him near
the McShane store several blocks
away, and made known to him
that he was wanted for disturbing
the peace.
The negro refused to surrender
but moved off in an ugly mood, the
officers following him closely.
They commanded him to halt.
The negro pulled his pop, and it is
said by the officers, made a move as
if he would fire, when they both
cut down on him with their pistols.
The negro ran after the yolleY
and the officers did not think they
had winged him, but developements
showed that one of the bullets had
entered the shoulder and lodged
under the outside skin.
The bird dog belonging to Mr.
Hearon was along with the officers
and he followed up the negro and
was soon heard to bark vigorously
A negro passing saw his fellowmau
under box car and approaching,
found him dead.
The negro reported to the officers
who we're near by, and they came
to the city and gave themselves
up to Justice Hooks, who went out
and held an inquest and determined
after hearing the evidence that
the negro came to his death by
bullet from one of the officers pis-
tol while resisting arrest.
The negl oes living IN the neigh
borhood gathered about the body
aud seemed in a morose mood and
discussed the matter among them
selves in low tones.
1t was reported on the streets
that riot was imminent and de-
tail of Lofficers were hurried ott
there to- take charge of the re-
mains until Justice Hooks could
hold the inquest and turn the body
over to Undertaken Shut. The
dead man is a single man and has a

charge of the body and give it
burial today. Justice Hooks will
