FEARFUL ARRANGEMENT
Of THE ADMINISTRATION
Republican DenOunceS Mckinley As the SlaYiSh
Follower of Public Opinion.
Torrent of ~Invective, Sarcasm and Wit From the Indiana
CongreSSman-Excitement and Enthusiasm.

Washington, JAN 25-Not sine the stirring days before the declaration
of war last spring has the house witnessed such an exhibition Of excitement
and such scenes Of unbOunded enthusiasm as occurred today, when Two Re
pubhcans, Mr. johnson, the Indiana member and Mr.. Doniver of Iowa locked
vas swallowed Up in the broader question Of our future national policy. nd
the debate a lifted from the dead level OF medocrty into absolute bril-
fancy
Mr. Johnson secured time from the Democratic side to attack the posi-
ton Of the administration 1t wa % the first time he has broken away
from his party OF public questions. On past occasions he las won a raDuta-
ton as a mastro If nvecuve, and the knowledge hat h e was to speak had at
tracteda al enormous crowd to thu galleries. Today he added % his reDuta-
ton Will satire, irony and w.t. the keen thrusts of his logic we're driven
home. His words flowed in a perfect torrent e denounced the PROPOSE

American heart n the past, and the Inauguration # a policy that would n

senate would sound the death knen # all the efforts Of those who were y-
ing to prevent the country from rushing OF 20 suicide, n declared, if he
nounced. the president as the slavish follower of public opinion, but warned
him that the tide would recede, and the voice OF the people would in time re-
buke him. Members stood in the aises ter deep while he was speaking, but
he tried to stop the applause whehc continually broke u from TIL Demo
cratic side. For almost two hours his words poured forth.
When he had finished. Mr. Do1iver "a to the defense of the admins
Of the house. his reply set the Republicans wild wthe enthusiasm. He described
how the president had been fairly driven into wr by those who now sought
to embarrass him before peace a definitely obtained, and his euogy Of the
president, patiently meeting all the perDlexng problems which beset him as
the great events o. the veal moved on" aroused his de and the galleries to
cheers These rang ut again and again when he paid al eloquent tribute to
course # some members at both ends OF the capitol was almost treason
able"
But the highest Dfch of excitement vas reached when NJ Johnson and
Mr.. DoEiver rot to close quarters toward ne end of the latters speech. Mr.
Johnson pressed thu defender of the administration 10 disclose the presidents

that this ws not the point at issue. that the first thing was % end he al

arrangements in other directions, they
would build a factory here. The build
ings would have a capacity Of 500 tons
per day of t~wenty-four hours, and the
machinery at first would be of 800 to
400 tons capacity.
After the close of Mr.. Cutters speech
H. NJ. Dougall made a few pointed re
marks in favor of the factory, and
made a motion to the effect that
S~DrineyiIIe wanted the sugar factory,
which was carried with but a dissent
ing voice.
Mr.. Dougall then moved that the
present committee, Alex Robertson, X.
A. Deal and A. w. Finley, be continued,
and that they continue the work Of Sc
curing the site and water for the pro
posed factory. The motion was carried
unanimously.
H. II. Reynolds then made a motion
that the factory be exempt from taxa
ton for a period of five years after it
built. Thomas Dallin offered an
amendment, that I'VE pledge ourselves
to not vote for any man ior councilman

factory from city taxes for the period
of Eve years" Carried.
Manager Cutler was asked by S. Nj.
Il home people would be given
preference. MI. Cutler said that
they would. and he further stated that
he did not intend to run a merchandise
or boarding house business in connec-
ton with the factory. After this the
adjourned, subject to the call

firing senator on his birthday (yester-
day., but the act is The Herald's eX-

SPRINGVILLE SUGAR FACTORY
CITIZENS DECIDE THEY WANT
THE PLANT,
And MI. Cutler Declares They Can
Have twill Be of 400 Tons
Capacity.
lsnecial to The Herald.l


Springville, Jan. 25.-The mass-meet-
ing today to consider the sugar factory
proposition Of Messrs. r. +. Cutler and
others drew out a large number OF rep
resentative citizens, and a tiattering de-
gree OF enthusiasm was manifested.
Alexander Robertson, chairman of
the citizens committee, called the mset-
ing to order and acted as chairman.
He then introduced Mr.. Cutler. The
latter gentleman gave a brief sketch of
the history of sugar production in Utah
from the earliest attempts down to the
present time. He Told of the peculiar
conditions of soil necessary for
the successful cultivation of the
sugar beet. and of the require
nlents for a site for a successful fac
terry, such as railroad facilities, abund-
ance of beets. pure water, pure lime
stone deposits, etc.
Mr. Cutler closed by saying hat
Springville had a good situation for a
factory, and that il the people wanted
a factory they could get one. He stat
ed that his company wanted 100 acres
Of land and sufficient water for the use
of h factory from September to
March, and wanted the people to eX-
press themselves as to the city exempt
ing the factory from city taxes for a
term Of five years. He stated that if
this could be done, and that if his COM

and the latest advices are not of a re-
assuring character. General Otis is Of
the belief that the insurgents are about
to force an issue, and if this should
occur, the result cannot be predicted,
further than that the Americans will
be victorious in the end.
There are two serious contingencies
confronting the troops near Iloilo, one
being a conflict with the natives, and
the other a fear tnat smallpox may
break out among the troops. Besides
this, the situation at Manila is consid-
cred much more grave than that at
Iloilo, and it is feared the insurgents
may commit an overt act which might
bring on a conflict.
While the warlike attitude of Aguin-
aldo excites alarm at the war depart
ment, that is not considered the most
serious feature of the situation. Those
in a position to know the facts say
the diplomatic situation is even more
grave. Either Germany or Spain, or
both, may recognize Aguinaldo's little
republic for interested motives, Ger
many to secure q foothold. and Spain
to accomplish the release of it's prison
erS of war. This action is imminent,
and the government officials say they
would not be surprised if it took place
within twenty-four hours. Prompt
ratification of the treaty would have
avoided this ENHANCEMENT, but it is
conceded now that both Spain and
Germany have some grounds for action
to protect their own interests.
The cables announcing the procla-
nation of a republic did not reate
much Of a disturbance, as Aguinaldo
proclaimed his independence last sum-
mer. Agonciilo first came here, then
went to Paris, and then returned to
Washington in the capacity of the
representative of the Philippine repub-
lie. This is the reason he has not been

MKINLEY \ TRIMMER.

IF William Mckinley ever changes
his policy regarding the Philippines"
he declared, in stentorian tones, he
will bend to the weight of popular
opinion, to which he bows, right or
wrong"
This utterance raised a storm of ap-
plause from the Democratic side. Mr..
Johnson requested that such Interrupt
lions cease, as they took up his time.
Several times before he had made a
similar request.
i should imagine the gentleman
could tolerate Democratic applause"
interrupted Mr.. Henderson Rep.. Ia
The gentleman can always tolerate
the applause of honest men, no matter
whence it comes replied Mr.. Johnson.
quickly As the applause which greeted
this rejoinder died away, he added:
And he can also tolerate the mar
row censure of those of his own party,
as he has done frequently in the past.
He has EVE been so well satisfied
with himself as when his narrow col

POLICY OF EVASION.
Proceeding, he denounced the presi-
dents curse as a policy of evasion"
and charged that his supporters were
cOnjuring up spectres to drive in the
opposition. 1t was declared that our
failure to take the Philippines would
precipitate a general European war;
that all the nations of Europe would
scramble for what we LETT, il we with
drew. He said he had seen no such
disposition except on the part Of Ger
many, and she was actuated by the
example of our greed. If we set the
example and withdrew, recognizing the
independence of the FilipinOS. others
would do likewise; but if other cOun-
tries did pOunce down apo the is
lands, let them do it. We were not
eXpressedly or implicitly responsible. If
they did. they would be but pursuing
their traditions. Let US see that We
do no wrong. The evil was theirs If
there was, he said, to be a European
war. let us, in Gods name, keep out
of it. The cry went up, "Ratify the

dent arrogated TO himself the right to

for the spirit of independence in the
senate Of the United States, irrespec-
tive of party. Bryan never made a
greater blunder than when he said the
treaty should be ratified n our policy

gle was nearer right, but he said the
treaty should be fought in the dark,
not in the open. 1 say we should fight
it from start to finish. We should meet

ment should be aroused. 1t is being
