Caffery declared that the McEnery
resolution provided for nothing more
or less than a despotic protectorate
without any guarantee of local self
government.
Spooner of Wisconsin spoke in oppo-
sition to making promises to the people
who have their guns pointed at our
troops From information which 1
have now-and 1 say this on my own
sponsibility-I believe it was premedi-
tated, preconcerted and wanton attack,
made with the idea of affecting the
action of the Senate upon the peace
treaty. 1t is my own belief that the
instigation of the attack came from
the city of Washington. Hours before
we learned of the attack, in fact, on
Saturday night, Agoncillo, who has
been here as a representative of the
Filipinos and has failed to receive any
sort of recognition from this Govern
ment. silently folded his tent, like the
Arab, and stole away to Canada. Some
body may be able to explain that cir
cumstance. but 1 have not yet heard
any explanation offered for it, except
that he knew that the attack was to De

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-This was
suspension day in the House, ana quite
number of bills were passed, several
of them of Importance. The census
bill prepared by the House committee
went through by vote of IN 10 u.
The bill differs in several essentiai
features from the Senate bill, partic-
ularly in that it makes the Census Bu-
reau entirely independent of any exist
ing department and Chairman Hopkins
stated on the floor that the expectation
was that the Senate would accept the
House bill.
A bill was passed to extend the anti
contract labor laws over the Hawaiian
Islands and another bill was passed to

and supplies to the Court of Claims.
They are claims reported from the

of Albuquerque, N. NJ, to issue $50, COO
of municipal bonds.
Grow (R.) of Pennsylvania offered a
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment providing that peace treaties shall
be ratified by a majority of the Senate.
With the simple statement that it was
very singular that a majority of two
houses could make war, twO-thirds of
the Senate were required to make peace.
He asked that the resolution be. re-
ferred to the Committee on Judiciary.
1t was so referred.
A bill was passed to authorize the
widow of General Hiram Berdan to sue
the Government in the Court of Claims
for royalties due her husband by the
Government between 1869 and 1881, on
inventions used.

apart for the consideration of public
buildings.

Griffin (R.) of Wisconsin moved the
passage under suspension of the rules

nurses in the military hospitals of the

made the motion were many Daughters
of the American Revolution and other
organizations interested in the bill.
After a short debate the vote result

thirds to suspend the rules

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6-Last night was
the coolest in this city since 1884, ana
only three times in twenty-nine years
has the thermometer recorded SO low
a temperature at q a. m. The mercury
in the Weather Office thermometer reg
istered 1898 above zero. The coolest
previous record was 81 above in Janu-
airy. 1894. this being the lowest in the
1wenty-nine years the record has osen
kept. At Cuyamaca Dam, which mas
1890 feet elevation, the mercury was
8 below zero last night, the coolest ever
known there and the lake has frozen
over. Ice formed in the streets OF San
Diego and on the hills in exposed
nlaces and it is feared that fruit trees
in the valleys have suffered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Justice
Dunn to day decided land case
against the Southern Pacific Company.
Luis Lipman sued to recover $226.S0
paid the railroad company for quar-
ter section of land lying between Mo-
jave and The Needles, within the main
land grant of the Southern Pacific
Company under Act of Congress of
July 81 1866. It is alleged that no
deed was delivered to Lipman nor did
he obtain a patent, and therefore the
suit was brought. A similar decision
handed down recently by Superior
Judge Seawell served as a precedent in
this case

Savings Bank are preparing to act A
number of prominent citizens who have
deposits there have been circulating
about town to-day in conference with
others. AS a result meeting OF de-
pcsilors is called for tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
one gentleman who has nearly
$1,000 on deposit at the bank, in speak
ing of the meeting called, said he coulo
not vet tell just what would be done
until the depositors got together and
had a conference. He said, however,
he was satisfied an attorney would be
selected by them to look after their
interests He felt it safe to say that
steps would be taken which would
mean eventual criminal prosecution
For myself" said he, Il am sure the
bank has been looted. Other depositors
whom 1 have conversed with are OF the
same opinion. The statements filed by
the hank with the commissioners were
falsified in various ways. and this alone
is enough to convict those who are
guilty.
Besides this, the bank went right
along receiving money on deposits, even
III the afternoon of the day before they
ceased to do business. Every officer
must have known of the condition of
the bank, and they are liza BILE under the
criminal laws. 1 think the depositors
will render a distinct service to this
community if they can aid in a vigor-
