upon the necessary for the United
States to hold the footing which had
been secured through which might al
most be regarded as providential
means. He dwelt upon the reports of
the vast coal deposits in the Philip
pines and said they We're invaluable on
this account to any nation, for in the
future, the country which controlled
the coal deposits of the world would
dominate the other nations both from
commercial and military point of
view.
In conclusion, Mr.. Teller referred to
his antagonism to the administration.
saying that he expected to oppose the
party in power in the next campain,
but strongly as he felt on the questions
which separated him from that party
he was nevertheless willing to sink
party questions and subordinate parti-
san advantage to what he believed to
be a broader view, patriotic rather
than q partisan view.
Rising to reply Mr.. Hoar said there
could be no doubt of Mr.. Teller's atti-
tude towards the Republican party af
ter his anxiety to have the treaty rati-
fled had been made SO evident. for he
could not possibly do anything that
would go farther towards encompass
ing the Reorganization and defeat of
the Republican party than to make
certain the ratification of the treaty.
Mr.. Hoar devoted the greater part Of
his reply to q defence of AguinalGo
whom he compared to Simon Bolivar.
the South America patriot During the
course of his remarks Senator Hoar
said that the argument had been adj
vanced that the United States shouiC
be near at hand to participate III the
predicted partition of China, and pro
ceeded TO say that the argument lndi-
Gated disposition TO grasp even more
territory than had yet been taken.
This remark brought Senator Davis
to his feet. While his name had no,
been mentioned it was evident that Mr.
Hoar alluded to d remark of the Mime
sofa senator. The latter said he had
not advocated any participation by the
United States in the process of dis
memberment. but that he had only al
luded to its possibility and had said
merely that the United States should
be on hand to protect their own inter-

IN the SENATE.
Vote on Bacon Resolutions will Be Taken a
1890. To-day.

. Washington, Feb. 1.-For few min
utes in the Senate, this afternoon, 1t
seemed that a vote might be taken on
one or more of the resolutions relating
to expansion that are pending before
that body. An unusually large attend
ance of Republican senators was pre-
sent, all of them having been notified
to be present in the event of a critical
vote on the pending question. Mr..
Bacon, Ca, had called up his resolution
and Mr.. Chandler, n. H., had with
drawn his motion to refer them to the
committee on foreign relations
Mr.. Sullivan, Miss. had entered a
motion to substitute his resolution for
those Of Mr.. Bacon. While Mr.. DAVIS,
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee, had announced that he was
willing that a vote should be taken I'M
mediately. AS it was evident. however,
that vote on the resolutions and
amendment could not be taken before
o'clock-the hour fixed by unani-
NOUS consent for the Senate to go into
executive session-Mr Bacon asked for
unanimous consent that a vote be
taken at 1890 tomorrow. To this re-
quest Mr.. Carter, Mont, objected and
the whole question was left suspended
in the air.
Mr.. Rawlins, Utah, addressed the
Senate upon the Vest anti-expanslon
resolution, devoting the greater part
of his time to defence of his position
that the constitution applies as well TO
people of our territories as to those OF
the states.
