Washington, Jan. 20.-The Senate vas
in session for five hours and n half to-
day, but THE session was practically
barren OF results.
Mr.. Nelson, Republican. Minnesota)
spoke in opposition to Mr. Vests anti
expansion resolution and Mr.. White,
Democrat California;, made Il person
all explanation OF his position with res
pect to the Instructions given the
California Senators by the Legislature
of that State as to voting on the pend
ing peace treaty.
Mr. Nelson's address was n constitu-
tional argument in support of the right
OF the United States government to ac-
quire and govern foreign territory. lie
maintained that it was no longer an
unsettled question that this country
had the power not only to acquire for
elgn territory by discovery, conquest
or treaty, but also TO govern territory
so acquired. That question, he said,
had been settled by decision of the SUI
preme Court and was scarcely longer
open to debate. He referred to the ter
ritory that had been acquired in the
past by the United States government
and declared that In no single case had
the people of the territory acquired b eli
consulted or their consent secured.
TERRITORY HERETOFORE ACQUIR-
ED.
In the course of this debate. he said
the contention was being made that the
people Of the territory proposed to be
acquired were not tit for citizenship III
our republic. Admitting that that con-
tention was correct. 1t was quite as
true that the people Of much territory
hitherto acquired BY this country were
unfit for citizenship nj the time the ter
Titory was taken into the Union. Had
we applied the reasoning that was now
being advanced against the acquisition
of territory to the people of Florida
and Louisiana territory when they were
admitted into the United States they
scarcely could have passed muster, AS
1T WAS we'll known that they were not
fitted for citizenship
Mr.. Nelson ulon entered upon an clab-
crate constitutional argument. citing
numerous authorities in support of his
position. He maintained that the arSu-
ments that taxation without represent
tation was tyranny and that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent al the governed, We're true only
IN Il limited extent. y majority of our
people, he said, were without direct
representation. Women. minors, and
1mDeclleS were without representation
in cur government and had to bear
their share of taxation.
In response to a question by Mr.. Ma
son, Qlinois). Mr.. Nelson said that no
man could say truthfully that the
rights of lInglishmcn had been destroy
ed on even in any sense impaired by
Great Rritains great scheme of coloni-
cation. Further replying to Mr.. Ma
