Washington, Jan. 13.-The Senate did
not make great progress with the Eta-

eral speeches were delivered, but in eV-
cry instance the speaker announced THAT
to-day's remarks were merely preliminary
to what they shoRld say before the close
or tde debate.
The executive session opened shortly
after one o'clock with Senator White
OH the floor, but Senator Stewart inter
rapted and others cut the California
Senator out Of the discussion. Those
who spoke were Senators Stewart, frye
and Morgan.
Senator Stewart, OF Nevada support
ed the treaty and was the first Senator
to discuss the question of sugar in con-
necti0n with the subject. He said all
the sugar lands were now occupied and
that little was left except lands available
for the production of coffee. lie assert

/ United States from Hawaii would not be
increased to any perceptible extent be-
cause the islands had reached their linz

this reason the producers of beet sugar
and of cane sugar need not be alarmed.

Senator Frye spoke upon the CONNER

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, made

The Senator began by referring TO sug-

THE POPS CONFERENCE
SENATOR CUTLER FAILS IN ANY WAY TO
RECOGNIZE THEM.
The Conference Is Composed Of Middle Of the
Roao Pop1Iists Vita Two
tXcepUons.

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 13.-With but two
exceptions the Populsts who came here
yesterday from twenty States at the
call of the National Organization commit
tee appointed at the Nashville convention

the party. These exceptions are George
Il. WashburR, OF Boston and Editor Far
IRISH, of Joliett, Illinois, both members of
the National Executive committee Of
which Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina is chairman Although they
both profess fealty to the policy Of non
fusion, they are looked on with suspicion
by the out and out middle Of the readers
and are being watched closely to see
what their intentions in coming to the
conferences are.
Thus far Chairman Butler has failed
to in any way recognize the Organiza-
ton committee. This action on the part
of Chairman Butler who was strong
advocate of fusion with the Democrats
at the last election will, so Chairman
Park declares, compel the Organization
committee to take independent action as
to the future policy Of the party, ire
spective Of the National committee.
To make WashbuFn show his hand the
chairman yesterday appointed him a
member of the Committee on Resolu-
tons and Procedure. This committee
consists of the following prominent char
acters in the Peoples rparty:
Frank Burkitt, Miss.s John o. Zazel,
Mich; J. ]. Dixon, Mo-; w. L. Peck,
Ga; George f. Washburn, Mass; w. S.
Morgan, Arkansas; Harry Tracy, Texas;
L. d. Reynolds, Miss; Jacob S. Coxey,
Ohio; A. L. Minis, Tenn; J. f. WilIets,
Kansas.
The committee held an all night ses-
sion and when the time for the meeting
of the conference came this morning it
had no report ready.

prominent part in calling attention to
the alleged injustice done to Alfred
Dreyfus, the prisoner of Devils Island),

Presidency. He obtained only so out

Count De Nun, the clerical leader,
caused excitement in the Chamber when

The Minister Of Finance, NJ. Cookery,
replied that the absence Of Gen. Billot
compelled him to postpone discussion Of

NJ. Cookery then said the government

the conclusion of to-day's session of the
House. This aroused prolonged protests
and the Minister finally agreed to sus-
pend the session until Gen. Billot, could

1he dispatches state that asmall group
raised Il cry against autonomy, some
rev gave vivas for General Weyler,
"hlle some scattered shouts were direc-
tea ot General Blanco. In the main.
however, the vivas were for Spain and
the army. The mounted police were
brought into use and dispersed the
groups, so that order was restored and
the city was tranquil by midnight.
During this excitement United States
Consul General Lee was in communica-
ton with the Spanish authorities.
Neither he nor the officials appear to
have been apprehensive, but it was
deemed the part Of wisdom to guard
against contingencies by sending a guard
of soldiers to the United States legation
and to the private residence of Consul
General Lee. Accordingly twenty-five
Spanish soldiers were dispatched to the
United States Consulate and another
guard of twenty-five to the residence
Of General Lee. They acted as an
emergency guard, and no occasion arose
for their services to be brought into
actual requisition. Throughout the dis
turbance, it is said at the legation, there
was not shout against the United
States, nor a hand raised against an
American citizen.

the prisoner was entitled to counsel and
