WHITE OPPOSES EXPANSION
Wants inc Administration to De- clare Itself Regarding Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 23-Discussion of the policy Of expansion occupied nearly all the time Of the senate in open ses- sion today. MT. White of California one of the democrats who has an noUnced heretofore his opposition to the ratification of the treaty of peace, addressed the senate in support of the anti-expansion resolution introduced by MT. Vest of Missouri and another resolution offered by MT Bacon of Georgia. declaring that the Philippines ought to be free and independent.
 MT. White did not enter into 2 con- s;itutional argument. but confined himself to discussion of expansion as policy of this government. He. main t3ined that such a policy was contrary to the fundamental principles Of this country, to it's history and to it's tra- ditions. He declared his opposition 10 the ratification of the pending treaty of peace. but broadly intimated that a declaration of a definite policy oil tho part Of the administration would very much simplify the situation, and as matter of good faith ought not to b. antagonized by the advocates of the treaty's ratification
 MT. White took as a text for his re- marks certain passages and para graphs from supreme court decisions. a sentence from President McKinley's Atlanta speech and paragraph from the report of Admiral Dewey to the navy department saying the Filipinos were as well qualified for self goverr- ment as the Cubans.
 In view of the proposition of the California legislature to instruct" Mir White and his colleague. Mr Perkins, how to vote upon the policy of expansion and upon the pending peace treaty, the remarks of Mr. White were regarded with much interest

Sacramento. Jan. 23.-During the senatorial invest ga :-n today Daniel NJ Burns was called to the stand. He stated that he had not been a candi- date for the United States senat-rship un il the day after Christmas. He had subscribed money to the regular cam paign fund, but had assisted no as- gemblyman CT senator to make i,is canvass.
 T. s. Grant tock the stand after Burns. He admitted having had Mil ton J. Green as s-ut cf political man ager. He had supplied Green wi. h money to be expended in a legitimate way to secure the election of a repub- lic2n legislature. Green had made no counting to him, but would Go So when the campaign was over. He ad- mftted having advanced money to Speaker Wright, a3 has been charged in the papers.
 The first witness of t>e day was Dan CC.a.

Washington, Jan 23.-The peace treaty is in danger for this session. The opposition is peculiarly active and is being organized with the idea of de- feating the treaty at any cost, if it cannot be amended. l is not probable that the men who are active in this Op position wIIl be able to secure enough votes to defeat the treaty Cn a direct vote, but the danger is from delay. The time, to the 4th of March, is so short thlt a f1,ibu5ter, if seriously under taken, would be able to prevent action at this session. The danger is that flibuster may be inaugUrated, though it is apparent that such a course would be an exhibition of political folly on the part Of those participating in It. The leaders of the opposition, however. appear to be blinded by the excess of their zeal, and their present purpose seems to be to go to the greatest length. Some of these leaders are claiming that they have enough votes to defeat the treaty, but they are prob ably confounding votes that will be east in favor of amending the treaty with those which would be cast against ratification, if not amended.
 Considerably more than a third of the senate may be mustered in favor or an amendment to the treaty, but It requires majority to amend, and his there is no prospect Of getting. A very considerable number of the votes that could be had for an amendment can be counted on for the treaty after the proposition to amend has failed. The opposition does not make due allow ance for this
 It is said by those supporting the treaty that if vote can be had on the treaty there will be nearly seventy votes cast in favor of it. The trouble is, however, that the Philippine ques- ton is fruitful of discussion, and much time might be consumed in debate be- fore the charge of deliberate intent to delay could be sustained.
 It would not require an open and confessed f1libus5er to consume much of the time. Under pretense of sheer

THERE MAY BE FILIBUSTERLNG'
Delay to Ratify Avails Naught The Ag- gressive Attitude of the Minority in the House Threatens to Pull That
 Body Down About It's Ears.

ity very long speeches may he made in he senate when time is pressing. What the opposition would gain by peeV2nt- ing ratification of the treaty at this time or even by it's direct defeat, is not clear.
 It's absolute defeat would leave this government sill in possession of the islands. and would at the same time make the presidents power absolute by reviving state of War and re tOring to the executive all war authority But the opP-sbi-n will not be able to de- feat the treaty, and can only, by delay, prevent it's ratification.
 This cannot result in any good to the minority party, since an extra ses- sion of the senate would be convened and would certainly ratify the treaty at Q very early day, the republican ma jOri.y in the senate of the next con- gross being large enough to defy a fiji buster. Therefore nothing for anti-ex- pansion will be gained by a filibuster, but the delay might make the obstruc- tive minority responsible by giving en- couragement 70 AguinaldO, for serious trouble and perhaps bloodshed on the islands
 Moreover, the necessity for an extra session of the senate would result in reorganization Of that body in Marcn,
  instead of in December following. and. inasmuch as it is generally believed new that the sort of military lcSisla- tion desired cannot ba had during this congress, it is probable that if the sen- ate has tJ be called into extra session the whole congress would be called to- gether and all legislation desired be undertaken at once. This would insure certain financial legislation and other hot 11,., Thus the minority, by the course now indicate by the manner in which the leaders arc organizing their fight on the treaty, threaten to pull the house down about their own ears. without ac- complaining anything permanent for anti-eXpansiOn. This attitude is be- coming more and more aggressive, however, and there appears positive danger Of inaction at this session.

SAFE IN PORT.

New York, Jan. 23.-The Atlantic Transport Line steamship Marquette arrived safely today, despite her long delay in making the transatlantic trip. She was nineteen days out from Lon don, or nine days overdue. The delay was due to the tempestuous weather encountered from the outset, both the head winds and the head seas impeding her the more because of the fact that she was flying light" as the seamen call it, meaning with little cargo She brought, in fact. only 500 tons. Thus light her prOpellerS were not sufficient ly immersed to be fully effective, and with the constant pitching were lifted out of the water and raced" violently
 Though not generally known to the passengers, a leak was discovered OH the eleventh day cut, the water comin g into the No. hold. It was supposed to be due to the loosening of some of the rivets fastening the plates. Several feet of water accumulated about the cargo in that compartment and being well forward tended additionally 10 lift the stern and cOrrespOndingly lessen the purchase of the screws on the wa ter.
 The steam pumps then became de ranged and 1t was necessary to use hand pumps. For this work the ser vices of returning cattlemen were util- ized and they continued the work till the vessel reached her pier While this leak was at no time a serious mat ter, Captain Gates said that if it had only been aft it would have been rather an aid by keeping the screws deeper.
 One day out from London Louis Thomas, 9 horseman, fell through an open hatchway. His body was found the following day by one of the cattle men and was buried at sea.
