RESOLUTIONS FOR PHILIPPINE
INDEPENDENCE FIRST.
Advocates of the Treaty Not Certain
They Can Defy the Anti Expansion
ists-The Republican Program.

NEW YORK, January 31.-The
Washington correspondent of the Her
aid telegraphs: Resolutions declaring
in favor of the ultimate Independence
of the Philippines will be voted upon
before the treaty of peace is ratified
To this extent the anti-expansionists
have won a victory. Whether they will
be able to adopt the kind of resolu-
tion they want remains to be seen.
They cannot prevent ratification of the
treaty, nor have they votes enough to
amend it.
On the other hand, the advocates of
the treaty are not absolutely certain
that they can get the sixty votes nee
essary to ratify If they defy the anti
expansionists by preventing a vote on
the pending independence resolutions.
They have fifty-eight votes pledged for
the treaty Internationally. By permit
ting a vote on the pending resolutions
they are sure of more than the neces-
sary vote for the treaty, whatever may
be done with the resolutions.
Accordingly, the Republican leaders,
after conference today concluded to al
low all the pending resolutions to be
voted up. The program will be to move
reference to the foreign relations COM
mittee of all resolutions as fast as they
are brought up, until the one consider
ed harmless-that introduced by Sena-
tor Sullivan-is reached, when a num-
ber of the Republicans will join the
Democrats in voting for it's immediate

an ARMY Of 100000 MEN
ARMY INCREASE BILL PASSES
THE HOUSE.
Six Republicans Vote Against It-Fod2
Democrats and One Popuiist For IT,
Amendments Adopted

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The
bill to reorganize and increase the reg
ular standing army to about 100000
men, but giving the president authori-
ty to reduce the size of infantry com"
panies and cavalry troops to sixty men
each, thus fixing a minimum of about
$4,000 enlisted men, passed the house
today by a vote of 16S to 125. This was
the result of a week of hard and often
picturesque fighting on the floor, dur
ing the progress of which the opposi-
ton compelled those in charge of the
measure to give this discretionary au-
thority to the president and to make
other notifications, among which were
a reduction of 331 in the number of the
staff officers. In consequence of these
notifications the Republican opposi-
tion practically vanished, and on the
final vote but six Republicans voted
against the bill. Four Democrats and
one Populist voted for the bill
Among the important amendments
adopted before the vote was taken to-
day was one to exclude the appoint
ment of civilians to positions in the
engineers corps, one to abolish canteens
and the sale of liquor in camps and one
to strike out the provision for addition
al pay for commands serving in the
West Indies and Philippines and Alas
ka. The amendment of Mr.. Cummings
of New York to prohibit the use of the
troops in the several states to suppress
riots, etc, except upon The application
of the States, was defeated by large

WHISTLES FOR STEAMERS THING
OF THE PAST.
Mr.. Cassidy Radically Changes an Old
Honolulu System-Will Bring Seri-
Gus Inconvenience.

Whistles for steamers when sighted
is a thing of the past in Honolulu.
This announcement will be received
with a surprise approaching awe. For
many years the system has been kept
up, until it has become a part of the
business and life of the town.
Mr.. Cassidy has decreed that in fu-
ture the whistle must not sound at the
sighting of a foreign steamer. The
vessel must creep around the heads un-
announced, and steal into the harbor
of Honolulu. When off the lighthouse
two whistles will sound, Immediately
after which the vessel will be reported
to inquirerers as "at the wharf"
The system went into effect last
week. AS the Oregon did not enter the
port she has as yet received no whis-
ties. Whistles for the Morgan City
blew early Sunday morning, although
the vessel tied up at the wharf Satur-
day afternoon. The Ohio arrived to-
day, but was not recognized by so
much as even one blast.
Mr.. Cassidy offers an explanation,
which will bring out sympathy for him
and the force under him, but will not
satsfy the town. He says that for
| two hours after a steamer whistle
blows the entire time of the switch
board force is taken up by calls for in
formation concerning the whereabouts
I'VE just simply cannot stand it,
says the superintendent. "Our legiti-
/ mate business is being ruined by it.
| From the time a vessel is off Wanna
nalo until she docks, and sometimes
| long after, every calling line is con-
| stantly open and the operators are
| kept talking as fast as they can to an
swer these questions. Every woman,
child, Chinaman and everybody else
! has a dozen or so of questions to ask
1T must be remembered that we
| now have 1,200 instruments in our sys-
| TEN. The result when all set to work
| ing at once may well be imagined
I'm future when vessel is sighted
we will notify the pilots, board of
health, postoffice, newspapers, agents,
I and, in fact, everybody having bust
ness with her and let it go at that /
| have instructed the boys not to notify
the Hawaiian Electric Company at all.
so that the whistle cannot be sounded.
! Perhaps the people will not like 1T.
| If they do not, let them suggest a
remedy, and If it can be put into effect
no one will be more ready than l to dc
| it,"
1t is a proposition simply not to be
realized, or imagined, of there being
J no whistles. Undoubtedly a mighty
i effort will be made to restore the ole
system at once. Everybody must ad
| NIT the tax on the telephone office
Perhaps people could endeavor to bt
more considerate. If not. the whistle
might blow and then the telephone of
flee go off business for a couple OF
hours until the 'habitual inquirers'
were weaned away.

SENATE READY TO ACT UPON IT
FAVORABLY.
Extends American Shipping Laws to
the Islands-Customs and Contract
Labor Also on the Program.

WASHINGTON, January 3O.-The
senate committee on commerce will
take up for consideration Thursday the
bill for the extension of the navigation
laws to the Hawaiian Islands. The
bill to be considered will be the Payne
measure, which passed the house with
out amendment. The bill will lie re-
ported favorably and will be given ia
vorable consideration in the senate If
assurances which have been given 10
the California members of congress are
any criterion. If there has been no ac-
tion in other committees of the senate
on the customs and internal revenue
bills and the measure which was intro
duced by Perkins to extend the laws
for exclusion OF Chinese and contract
laborers, these will be added on the
floor of the senate as amendments.
There is some objection to thus MAX
ing provision for the present necessi-
ties on the part of some of the men
who are interested in the Hawaiian
general government bill, but major
ity of the senate recognize the pressing
need of such laws and there seems to
be no cause to fear that the measure
will fail.

deacons, will go to the house where the
short service known as levee du corps,

tion of Il. G. Williams, to the cathe-
dral, where the public service will be
held at $3.50 o'clock. A squad of police
will head the procession.

entine will sing, Jesus, be His Rest
Eternal"
