ALGER IN THE SENATE.
Wants Volunteers at Manila Con-
tinued In Service.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Secretary AL
ger visited the senate today for the
purpose of getting the compromise
army bill amended so as to authorize
the re-enlistment of volunteer soldiers
now serving in the Philippines. When
the peace treaty takes effect the term
of service of the volunteers will expire,
and necessarily there will be an inter
i'm before new troops can be enlisted
and transported to the islands. The
secretary thinks that many OF the vol
unteers would be willing to remain dur
ing this interim and the amendment ne
proposes grants authority to give them
this opportunity. The senate commit
tee on military affairs has signified his
willingness to accept the amendment.

Tremendous Sensation Developed in
the National House.
A very sensational and unexpected thing
happened in the National House Thursday
during the consideration of the sundry civil
bill. The paragraph carrying the appro-
priation of $4,000, 900 for payment to Spain
under the terms of the peace treaty was
stricken out upon a point of order made by
Mr.. Wheeler, a Kentucky Democrat, who
declared that lie opposed the appropriation
on principle, and would resort to
any tcchnicality to defeat it. His
point of order was that the paragraph
was obnoxious to rule 81, invoked
Wednesday against the Nicaragua Canal
amendment. If the treaty of Paris were
complete, if il were vitalized by the rati-
tication of the Spanish Cortcs and the cN-
change of notifications had taken place, he
confessed that the treaty would be the law
of the land and the amendment would be in
order. lie cited numerous decisions of the
Supreme Court i'll support of his position.

Trade says: Beyond question business Is
expanding, and in many branches it is
larger, Notwithstanding speculative combi-
nations which tend to reduce it. All mo-
nopolics, or attempted %monopolics, stimu-
late business while they are coming, but
tend to stitlc it after they come, and the
throng of combinations and trusts which
have been formed or proposed have given
temporary impetus to trade. But beyond
the influence of these there is a genuine
and substantial enlargement of business
due to the uneNamplcd prosperity of q
growing population.
Atlantic exports of wheat have been re-
tardcd by the blizzard, but have been g.
265,7lG bushels, flour included. against 81
142,O57 last year. When it is remembered
that the exports Of corn are almost as large
as the largest ever known there is reason
for astonislimcnt at the continued foreign
demand. That it persists in spite of the
strong advance in prices here since Sept. L,
is most encouraging. There is much moro
inquiry for wool and the manufacturers
have a larger demand for heavy weight
goods, but they MAINTAIN that they cannot
pay prices now demanded for wool and
most OF the purchases made appear to have
been at some concessions. Failures for the

Some of the members of the committee

the American peace commissioners which
did not place as the first consideration the
welfare and the rights of the Filipimos.
To this he added that mo imperial de-
signs Turk i'll the American mind"
In his address President Mckinley re-
viewed at length the Philippine situation,
saying that the country must bravely face
the new issue and decide it for the hest
interests of the islanders as well rs the
people at home. That this country has no
imperial designs was positively declared
by the nations chief executive. He said
an imperial policy was opposed to the
principles of the American Government
and could not he entertained. Ccssion of
the Philippines, Mr.. Mckinley said. he
came Il necessity, and. hard though the
duty is, it will have to lie borne. AS for
the future of the islands. it rests with
Congress. the representative of the pco-
people, and the people will do what is
right.
While gricving over every drop of blood
shed at Manila, whether from the veins
of a brave American or IL misguided na-
tive, the President said the FilipiMos will
be compelled to respect tho authority of
the United States md then will be shown
that the c%onaucror is working for the isl
ands' good.
The banquet of the Home Market Club

on Tue anniversary of the blowing up Of
the Maine in Havana harbor. All the
pans OF the Maine were lost in the fire,
so that nothing is left to represent her ex-
cept the model In the possession of the
naval constructor.
There was practically no opposition to
the flames after they had started. The
deep snow and a lack of water prevented
the naval forces and the fire department
from working effectively. 1t is supposed
that defective insulation of an electric
light wire started the flames, as they
were first seen in a part Of the building
where there vas no furnace.
The main building is four stories in
height, and has two great towers. On
the first and second floors were many val
liable machines and tools. The third floor
was used as n pattern shop, where dupli-
Gates of machinery and the more delicate
parts of a warship were manufactured
and finished. On the fourth floor the
patterns themselves were stored. There
were the patterns for the engines Of the
Chicago, the Ralcigh, the Cincinnati, the
Maine and many other vessels of war.
The long III" was used as a boiler house
and for the setting up of engines. The
frame building was used by the master
mechanic and for the storage of many
valuable sets of private tools owned by
the experts. There will be an investiga.
ton of the fire by n court of inquiry.
