IDEA IS INDUSTRIOUS.
Sherman Deprecates In
vasion of the Philippines.

vas1on of the Philippines.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-In an inter-
view Mr.. John Sherman forcibly ex-
presses himself against expansion. The
eX-secretary Of state is quoted as say
ing:
II am decidedly opposed to the In
vasion Of the Philippines. The idea of
our country forcing it's way in these
islands and forcing its government
upon the 100000 or 100000 popula-
tion is monstrous. tits subversive Of
the basic principle of our government
that the just powers Of government
are derived from the consent of the
governed, and 1t is in violation Of the
traditions of our country"
Then, If you were. in the senate you
would not vote to ratify the treaty
of Paris as it stands?"
IF were in the senate, I would not
vote to ratify it as it stands. I would
vote to withdraw from the islands as
soon as possible.
The papers say that 1000 soldiers
have just been sent, to Manila. Why
are they sent? Are, we going to war
against a struggling. republic? They
have been fighting for many years
against Spain and have practically
driven Spain out. Are we to take the
place of Spain in tyrannizing over
these struggling people?"

COST OF EXPANSION.
The Indiana member now turned to
the cost Of expansion" He detailed
the cost of the war and the expendi-
ture of $145, 900 600 for the military
establishment and $45, ,000, 600 for the
naval establishment for the next fiscal
year. 1t showed, he said, that our war
budget exceeded that of the great mill
tary powers of the world. It was with
in S3,000,000 Of Great Britain's vast
establishment. which was shared by
her colonial empire. 1t was more than
the war budget of Germany; more than
that of France or Of any other nation
on the face of the globe. And this was
to realize "the wild dream of expan-

Mr.. Johnson's time was twice extend

him. The Monroe doctrine, he declared,
would vanish vah the annexation of
the Philippines. If we reached out into
another hemisphere we could not with
propriety resist aggression in this Mr.
Johnson said that the cup of our ma
tional humiliation was filled to over
flowing, and in closing, said:
We have witnessed the splendid achieve

try. We are compelled to abandon the car

trespass further upon the time of the other
side. Though he was urged to so on.

many Democrats crowded up the aisle
to congratulate him.

DATE FOR VOTE FIXED
PEACE TREATY TO BE PASSED
UPON BY THE SENATE ON
FEB. @
SENATOR DAVIS NAMES 1T
of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee-MinnesOta Senator Makes a
Treaty as 1t Is-Says Europe Is
Jealous OF America.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The SEN
ate held two executive sessions today,
and at each time the treaty of peace
was the subject under discussion. At
the first an agreement was reached
to vote on the treaty next Monday
week, and at the second Senator Da-
Wis presented the American commits
sion's reasons for the acceptance of
the treaty in the form in which it was
finally concluded. The agreement for
vote was reached at an executive
session held soon after convening at
noon, this agreement being in the fol-
lowing language:
That the senate agrees to vote on
the treaty with Spain and all amend
ments On Monday, the 9Th Of February,
at 3 o'clock p. M, and until that time
the senate shall go into executive ses-
sion on each day at p. m.
This was a unanimous agreement
the terms Of which were formulated
by Senator Davis in reply to yester-
days proposition by the opposition,
and as a result of today's meeting Of
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations. The agreement in the COM
mlttee to accept the proposition was
unanimous, and it is understood that
Senator Davis Informed his fellow
committeeman that 1t was the wishes
of the president that the proposition
for a vote should be accepted and the
result be made known as soon as pos
sible. Those who are familiar with
the views of the president say that
he has urged an early vote, upon the
ground that nothing Is to be lost and
everything Is to be gained by taking
the vote. The final action, he is con-
fident, will be favorable when reached.
In accordance with the terms of the
agreement the senate resumed it's work
in executive session at 2 o'clock and
the entire time of this session was con-
sumed by Senator Davis in making a
presentation Of the history of the
Paris conference. This presentation
consisted largely in the quotation Of
the various propositions made on each
side of the controversy at Paris, and,
while the speech was thus rendered
somewhat formal, it received the clos

bonds secured on the colonies guaran-
teed by the Americans. He believed if
tn Americans held the Philippines in
ternational trouble would be avoided,
but, If the contrary course should be
pursued, he was most apprehensive
of the results
In reply to question from Senator
Hoar, Mr.. Davis said there had been
no effort to put the Filipinos on the
same footing with the Cubans in for
mulating the treaty. He said the two
countries were very differently stu
ated, and instanced the demonstration
in Manila harbor as an example of
what might occur in a land so distant.
Mr.. Davis urged the Importance of
favorable action upon the treaty at
the present session of congress. A
failure to ratify meant, he argued,
continued uncertainty, renewed en-
couragement to the insurgent Filipi-
nos, possible conflict with them, and
a prolongation of the state of war
with much of it's expense, if not with
it's horrors

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 25.-Prof

The book was printed in 1913, and
only a few copies are in existence. 1t

be found in the collection of stolen

was arrested last month. A search re-
vealed the precious volume lying in a

been recovered the Yale library would

Many predicted that there would be
a deadlock for weeks, but a decisive
result was reached on the first joint
ballot. Senator Elkins, Senator -elect
Scott and others were freely congratu-
lated on the management of the cam
paign.
The vote stood: Scott Rep.), 4S; Nc

vote cast, 95; necessary to elect, AZ.
AS the ballot stood when the last
name was called Scott had only AZ
votes, and the deadlock, which had
been expected, seemed assured But
just before the president Of the senate
started to announce the result Delegate
Hunt, who had voted for Judge Biz
Zard, announced that he wished to
change his vote. During a brief speech,
in which he explained his position,
there was breath1ess suspense The
galleries and chamber were crowded.
AT first it appeared as if he would join
Delegate Hapstonstall, who voted for
Golf, but he cast the vote which elected
Scott. Hapstonstall clung to Goff to
the end.
Morris Rep), against whom a contest
was pending in the senate, was not
permitted to vote. and the Taylor coun-
ty seat in the house. which is claimed
by Dent (Dem.), was left vacant, in
accordance with the compromise agree
ment reached Tuesday night between
the leaders of the two houses.
