DATE SET FOR A VOTE.

Senate Will Dispose Of the Peace Treaty
ON Monday, Feb. 6.st ri
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-The senate
consumed about 45 minutes in executive
session in arriving at decision to vote
on the peace treaty. AS soon as the
doors were closed and the public ex.
cluded, Senator Davis, chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations, took the
floor and announced that he was author
ized by the committee to accept the
proposition made in executive session
by Senator Gorman, tossvote on the
treaty within; 10 days. He therefore
asked unanimous consent that the
vote should be taken at 3;.o'clock p.
M, on Feb: 6, saying that exactly
10 legislative days would intervene be.
tween this time and that. Il He intimated
that if there were any objections to this
date. he would like tos:hear them, but
none were heard, and the hour and the
day were unanimously agreed TO; The
remainder of the As minutes were spent
in the exchange Of questions and an.
swers, which are usually heard in ef-
forts to fix a time for vote and nmak.
ing sure that all understood the fact.
There was also an agreement that the
senate should go into executive session
each day between this time and Feb. 6,
for the discussion of the treaty. Au-
thority was also given for making the
announcement of the agreement public.
The opposing senators made no objec.
tion to the date, neither suggesting an
earlier nor a later date.

WORK is TOO GREAT.

Secretary Alger Organizes a Commission
to Govern New Territory.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The secretary
of wsr has completed the organization
of colonial commission to undertake
the administration here in Washington
of all matters of detail respecting the
government of the territories acquired
during the war Or occupied by the United
States. The personnel of the commits
sion will be General Robert P. Kennedy
of Bellefontaine, Ohio; Curtis Guild Of
Massachusetts,, and George w. Watkins
Of Grand Rapids, Mich. Up to this
point the secretary and assistant secre-
tary have undertaken themselves to deal
with the administration of insular af=
fairs, but the questions involved have
become SO numerous and complicated
that it has been found absolutely neces-
saryy to call for assistants. The commits
sion will deal with the bestowal Of fran.
chises and concessions, the distribution
of moneys to be spent in public improve
ments, and all of the troublesome issues
that have arisen and are likely to arise
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.

MoNTANA's ACTION UPHELD

Has Right to Tax Unpatented Selections
of Railroad Companies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-In the United
States supreme court, Justice McKenpa
handed down an opinion In the case Of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
versus the treasurer of jefferson county,
Mon. The case involves the right Of
the state authorities to tax railroad
l,nds within the Northern Pacific grant
s;hich are unpatented, because their
.:,aracter with reference to minerals
has not been determined, The railroad
company contended that such right had
aot existed, but the decision of the cir
cuit court was against the company and
the supreme court upheld this opinion.
Justices Brewer, Shiras, White and

In commenting upon, the above the
Fargo Argus says,
Two notable instances in Mr.: McCum-
ber's career are recalled by these manly
words. In the first state convention,
when the attempt was smade to defeat the
election Of M. N. Johnson as chairman of
the convention by tampering with the
tally sheet and miscounting the vote, it
was Mr.. McCumber who with the impas-
stoned eloquence of which he is master,
denounced the fraud and demanded the
veri6cation which showed that Mr. John
son had been elected; and on the same
occasion defended the report of the COM
mittee on credentials which had been at
tackled in the interests Of the effort to pre-
vent the nomination Of John Miller for
governor. .r:s .:.ss sr.-
In the convention. Of 1892, when the
chairman had named a committee on Gre
dentials packed solidly against Roger
Allin for the purpose of unseating the
Walsh delegation-it was Mr.McCumber
who denounced the fraud and chastised
the chairman in blistering words that will
never be forgotten. And although the
fraud went through and was sustained by
the convention, yet the people avenged
the wrong-defeated-' the whole state
ticket nominated by the convention-and
two years later-Roger Allin was nomi-
mated by: acclamation.
In speaking Of McCumber's address to
the legislative assembly, the Plaindealer
said: '.'-'--'''1-' - -
The senator.elect was greeted with dig
nified applause. He spoke; at length,
and that very eloquently. He dwelt up
on the honor conferred upon him and the
campaign leading up to his election. He
paida glowing tribute to the cohgres-
sional career Of Congressman Johnson
which evoked loud applause. He defin-
ed his position on national topics and de-
clared in favor Of a broad policy of ex-
pansion with Hawaii, the Ladrones and
the Philippines as stepping stones, and
for the. domination of America in the
commerce of the high seas.

MANILA, Jan. *5.-Reporte from the
interior indicate that @Aguinaldo's au.
thority is now generally recognized.
Every available male is being recruited
and arms depots are being established
at San Bernardino. Union, Trinidad and
other large towns. The surrounding
country is being levied on for supplies
and the Filipino troops are living on the
fat of the land, while the native vii.
layers are compelled to subsist on rice.
There is some friction between the
Filipino civil and military authorities,
but they are united on the question of
independence. It is estimated that there
are fully
Thirty Thousand Men Under Arms
and it is said that there are nearly so
Maxim guns at Malolos, some of them
having been recently acquired.
The Filipino military authorities are
convinced, they say, that the Americans
will be unable to work effectively out
side of Manila in the event of hostilities,
hence they feel confident of the future.
The Filipinos of Calacon and Gega-
landin, installing salutes exchanged be-
tween British and German warships on
Jan. 18 moved 5000 men to the front in
order Of battle, covering the adjacent
country, but they did not attack the
American lines.
