Received Favorable Report

Washington, February S.-The naval
committee of the house today directed a
favorable report on the senate bill creating
the grade of admiral and intended for Rear
Admiral Dewey. The bin was recently
added as an amendment to the naval ap-
preparation bill, but as some question was
raised as to this method of procedure. the
committee determined to report the bill as
an independent measure. The committee
also acted favorably on the senate bill
granting two months extra pay for naval
service outside the United States during
the war with Spain.

MORGAN DEMOCRATS
Meet to Discuss Methods of Electing
Delegates.

Hartselle, February 25.-(SpeciaL)-Th
democratic executive committee of Nor
gan county met here today to adopt plan
to nominate candidates to the state con-
vention. The committee was called to or
der by the chairman, A. f. Murray. The
roll was called and sixteen beats answered
to their names. On motion the primary
convention plan was unanimously adopted
and the primary called for the 18th of
March and the county convention for the
22nd.
The call was to all white voters, ire
spective of past political affiliations who
can unite with the democratic party In an
effort to obtain a constitution adapted to
the needs of our present growth and pros
perity in state, county and municipal gov
eminent and who will support the nomi-
nees and principles of the democratic
party, to participate in said primary
throughout the county.
BY unanimous vote the chairman and Sec
rotary were requested to thank Governor
Joseph F. Johnston in behalf OF the DEM
ocrats of Morgan county for appointing to
the office of railroad commissioner the
Hon. Oceola Kyle, and to assure him of
their appreciation of this act, which was
a just recognition of services rendered the
party by one of the most able and staunch-
est democrats and one of the foremost
promoters of the free silver cause in the
state of Alabama.

CAUCUS CALLED
BY DEMOCRATS
&
To Consider the Position ofthe
Party on
THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Resolution Similar to That Introduced
in the Senate by Mr.. Bacon Will
Probably be Adopted and
Presented to House.

Washington, February Pa caucus of
the democratic members of the house of
representatives has been called for next
Monday evening for the consideration of
the attitude of the party on the Philip
pines." The call was issued today by Rep
resentatfve Richardson, of Tennessee, chair
man of the caucus committee, who had
received a request signed by about forty
democrats requesting the caucus for the
purpose designated. A plan of annexation
has already been outlined.
resolution has been drafted by the dem
ocratic members of the committee on for
eign affairs following the lines of the Ba-
con resolution offered in the senate. This
will be the basis of the resolution adopted
at the caucus and thereafter it is to get the
resolution before the house of representa-
tives
Among those active in securing the call
were Representatives Dinsmore of Arkan-
sas, Howard of Georgia and Bail of Texas
Mr.. Dinsmore says the essential feature
of the movement is to secure a definite dec
laration of the attitude of the party against
the permanent holding of the Philippines.
Mr.. Howard stated that the step had been
taken mainly because the McEnery reso-
luton, passed in the senate, had been ig-
nored by the committee on foreign affairs.
No meeting of the committee has been
called since the McEnery resolution was
received SO it was manifest that the house
was to be permitted to vote on such dec
laration. He and his democratic asSoci-
ates of the committee had therefore framed
a resolution much similar to that of Sen
ator Bacon, which would be offered to the
caucus on Monday.
If this or like resolution were adopted,
Mr.. Howard said, it would be presented to
the house and an effort made to have the
speaker grant an opportunity for its con-
sideration. In any event, it would define
the position of the democrats In the house.
1t is stated by number of democrats that
the move does not result from the recent
visit of Mr.. Bryan, although 1t is said the
resolution will express sentiments similar
to those of Mr.. Bryan uttered at the recent
Washington birthday banquet here

BANQUET GIVEN
AT THE ARLINGTON
By Executive Committee of the
Louisiana Purchase Convention.
ORATORY FLOWED FREELY
The Invitations Were Strictly Limited
to the Purchase States, But Des-
pite This Nearly Two Hun
bred Guests Were Present

Washington, February 25.-one of the
largest dinners of the winter was given to-
night in the banquet hall of the Arlington
hotel The hosts were thirty members of
the executive committee of the Louisiana
purchase convention recently held in st.
Louis with Governor Francis at their head
and the guests numbering nearly 200 were
members of the cabinet and the United
States supreme court, senators, representa-
tives and delegates from all the states and
territories within the purchase.
The invitations were strictly limited to
the purchase states and territories. Among
the speakers of the evening were Secretar-
les Gage, Hitchcock and Wilson represent
ing the cabinet, Justices White and Brew
er, the supreme court and Senators Vest,
Allison, Teller and Thurston the United
States senate. OF the members of the
house Of Representatives there were 100 or
more besides a large number of department
officials of high rank The large banquet
hall was superbly decorated with flowers
and vines. Several long tables laden with
roses and crocuses extended across the
room with one connecting them at the end.
The electric light effects and the music
were all exceptionally fine and the room
presented a scene of rare beauty. The
guests began to assemble a little before s
o'clock and at quarter before 8 o'clock
the doors were thrown open. The banquet
occupied the attention of the company until
nearly 10 O'Clock, when Governor Francis
arose and delivered an address, in the
course of which he was interrupted
peatedly with applause. From the first it
was evident that the assembly was in per-
feet sympathy with him and the cause he
represented. His reference to the prompt
acceptance of the proposition by the city
of st. Louis to raise 900 for an expo
sition was loudly applauded, as also was
his statement that, although Jefferson paid
s15,O0O,OOO for the territory, 1t was now
worth fifteen billions.
Senator Vest was the next speaker, and
he was followed by Senator Teller. Rep
resentative Dolliver delivered a character
istically eloquent speech.
The next speakers were Secretary Hitch
cock, Senator Thurston, Secretary Wilson
and Representative Shafroth. Representa-
tive Champ Clark, of Missouri, spoke at
some length, and his address was received
with enthusiasm.
He was followed by Representatives Cur
tbs, of Kansas; Green,- of Nebraska; o.
born, of Wyoming; Lewis, of Washington,
and Morris, of Minnesota.

AGUINAL DOS PRAISES SUNG
By Cochran Of Missouri, and Caused
GfOSVenOP'S Ire to Rise.
ARMY MEASURE IN THE SENATE
1t Was Expected That the Compromise
Bill Would Be Easily Passed, But
Unexpected COSTA Is Were
Encountered-E ulogies.

Washington, February 25.-The house
continued work on the army ap-
preparation bill today, but failed to COM
plete. Considerable animosity was develop
ed during the debate and there were sharp
passages between Mr.. Grosvenor and Mr.
Cannon on the one hand, and Messrs. Simp-
son, Kansas, and Cochran, Missouri, on the
other.
Mr.. Cochran (dem. Mo-, attempted to
secure time to answer the statements made
on the other side yesterday that there was
nothing In the nature of an alliance be-
tween Aguinaldo and American forces be-
fore the capture of Manila. Mr.. Hull OBJ
jected.
This is not the first time," said Mr.
Cochran, that the majority in the closing
hours of a debate have been challenged and
then objected to replies. Their objections
are made to cover their retreat
Mr. Hull thereupon withdrew his obiec-
ton, and Mr.. Cochran proceeded to give
what he said was the most important
chapter" of the war. Upon the testimony
of three American generals he contended,
first, that We solicited an alliance; second,
that 1t was solemnly formed; third, that
the Filipinos kept their faith, and fourth,
that we shamefully violated our compact.
He referred to the reports of General An
derson, General Greene and General Mer-
rift to prove his assertions of the valuable
aid rendered by Aguinaldo and the insur-
gents.
Denounced the Democrats
Mr. Lacey 0ep. Ia, denounced the other
side generally for firing into the rear of
Otis nv S0updfne of AOtti do
and Agoncillo upon the floor of the house.
While Aguinaldo was being compared with
George Washington, American soldiers were
being killed and wounded.
.When we captured Manila" said he,
addressing the opposition, your good
Washington wanted to enter and loot 1t.
With the evidence that Aguinaldo planned
the massacre of our troops in Manila before
them the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. I1entz)
might withhold his comparison of Aguin-
aldo with Patrick Henry and others might
have expressed their fulsome eulogies liken-
ing him to Bolvia's Washington"
Concluding. he paid a glowing tribute to
the valor of the American soldier fighting
in the trenches under the tropic sun at Ma
Mia
Mr.. Grosvenor (rep., of o.. pursuing the
subject along the same lines, said 1t was
treason to stop and hesitate as to whether
our soldiers should be defended. He de-
MED that there had been any alliance with
Aguinaldo and said at the proper time he
would produce the record. The first order
of the president after the fall of Manila
had forbidden any and all alliances of any
character with any one. He referred to
Aguinaldo as a "scalawag."
VIII Maintain Authority
sT can say what desire In two sem
tences." said Mr.. Cannon rep, of ILL.,, who
