Tor her services during the war with

settled the fate of the Nicaragua canal
bill in this congress by refusing to
override the decision OF the chair in
committee Of the whole, when the
chair held that the canal bill offered
as an amendment by Mr.. Hepburn
(rep., Ia.) was out Of order. The
friends Of the Nicaragua bill were at
first very confident that they would
triumph, but after four hours OF debate.
the chair was sustained by a vote Of
127 to 100. The debate throughout the
Gay was exceedingly spirited. Party
lines were not adhered to, the division
in favor or in opposition to sus-
tanning the chairs decision being about
equal on both sides Of the political
aisles.
After the defeat of the amendment

bill to the sundry civil bill, Mr.. Gros

Washington, Feb. 21.-The anti

ness.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-02-27

Washington, Feb. lin the senate
the military academy appropriation
bill passed without debate, and the
naval personnel bill was taken up. The
bill, however, was not pressed, and af-
ter the bill enabling soldiers who
served in the Spanish war, who had
previously been pensioners, to again
obtain a pension had been re-conSid-
cred, amended and passed, Mr.. Hawley
(rep., Conn.,, chairman Of the military
affairs committee, reported to the SEN
ate the army reorganization bill. He
said the committee was evenly divided
so that an agreement had been reached
to report two measures, one by each
division Of the committee. When the
peace treaty ratification had been leg
islated, he said, the situation would be
serious, as the existing law gave the
president no alternative but required
him to discharge the volunteers from
service and reduce the regular army
from about $4,000 to $4,000 men.
Mr.. Cockrell (dem., Mo- pre-
ture of a minority report. The bill he
proposed provided that the volunteer
force now in the service be mustered
out; that the act Of April &c, 1898, be
continued in full force till July l, 1901;
and that the president be authorized K
enroll a military force Of $4,000
men in the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines-these troops to be

restricted in service to their respective
islands and not to be considered part
of the permanent military establish
ment. Such an act, Mr.. Cockrell said.
could continue the military establish
ment at about $4,000 men and in addi
ton would afford the president an ad-
ditional force of $4,000 men from the
various islands.
Washington, Feb. 1.-TWO very SEN
sational and unexpected things hap
pened in the house during the cOnsid-
Grafton of the sundry civil bill. The
paragraph carrying an appropriation
of $20,000,000 for payment to Spain un-
der the terms Of the treaty was strick-
en- out upon a point Of order made by
Mr.. Wheeler (dem., KY, who declared
that he was opposed to the appropria-
ton on principle, and would resort to
any technically to defeat it. The
point of order was debated for hours,
it's determination hanging upon C44e
question whether the ratification OF
the treaty by the senate and it's sigma
ture by the president vitalized it with
out the action Of the Spanish cortes.
Mr.. Hopkins (rep., Ill), who was in
the chair, sustained the point against
it, and upon the appeal his decision
was sustained, 149 to Sc. Mr.. Cannon
then attempted to have the appropria-
ton inserted by unanimous consent.
but Mr.. Wheeler again objected.

The question Of public improve,

Senator Mason made speech in
the Senate last week in which he
ul,gized the Beers, and condemned
the policy Of England in prosecut-
ing the war in South Africa. This
public utterance may have been an
indiscretion, but he no doubt
touched chord of public senti-
ment at the same time. There
ha, been a revulsion of sentiment
in this country since this war has
been in progress. Even the great

policy at the beginning of the cam.

There are business men who

around the city. They believe the
interior country should have been
deprived Of railroad facilities and
tha, Lewiston should have been
satisfied with the old water line
with one steamboat week In
that event these narrow minded
men think the merchants here
could have levied pre- emp,ion up
on the limited trade for all time to
come and thus have perpetuated
sure prosperity. This is doubtless
true in limited sense. The small
trade Of the past thirty years paid
a tribute TO Lewiston that sup
ported limited population. That
trade, that profit and that popula-

ago and those who grew rich and

1t is refreshing to learn that
Governor Steunenberg has plung
ed into the sheep business. This is
probably the worst blow democracy
has received since Cleveland went
into the iron business. A Noun
tain Home dispatch of the Ath.
announces that the governor has
purchased band of 5000 sheep
and 800 lambs. This means an
investment Of about $40, 900. 1t is
also stated that he intends buying
up several more bands 1t Is
