Washington. Feb. Z. Monday was

quite a number of bills were passed,
several OF them OF Importance, The
census bill, prepared Dy the house
committee, went through by vote OF
l41 10 AZ The bill differs in several
essential features from the senate bill,
particularly IN that it makes the cen
sus bureau entirely independent OF any
existing department ! he bill to eX-
tend the anti-contract labor laws over
the Hawaiian islands was passed, as
was the bill to create national mil.

amendment providing mat peace

of the senate He made the
simple statement that Il
was very singular that a
majority OF the two houses could make
war, while two-thlrds OF the senate
was required to make peace. He asked
that the resolution be referred 70 lhe
committee on judiciary. IL was 30 re

Effects of Ratification.

Washington, Feb 7.-As to the
change in the conditions wrought by
the ratification of the treaty there is
variance of views. The extreme view
on one side is that unless the Spanish
government ratifies the treaty it is not
of legal effect. According To that view,
therefore the United States govern
ment is estopped from proceeding be-
yond its lines at Manila for the time.
BY the other extreme view the United
States government is free to do just as
II pleases in the entire group of ISL
ands and will, therefore, proceed at
once TO a complete military occupancy
of the Islands. The medium view, am
that which is likely to be followed is
that Gen. Otis is justified in doing any
lning that is necessary to protect his
army and all of the American and for
eign interests in Manila, even though
this obliges him to assume the
offensive and to go outside OF the old
lines in pursuit of the insurgents who
may be seeking to reorganize and
recoup from their late defeat with the
INTENTION OF attacking again or even
threatening the Americans
Secretary Long last evening said no
additional orders had been sent to
ADMIRAL Dewey and he did not antioi-
pate that any would be necessary just
now. He has been working on the
ioea that the president wished to fol-
low the most liberal policy in dealing
with the Filipinos and there is no
reason now to change that policy. The
Solace started from Norfolk yesterday
afternoon with supply of ammuni-
ton and other needed stores for
Deweys fleet via the Suez canal but 1t
Is not the intention to send further
naval reinforcementS. y .as learned
upon inquiry at the war department
that all the American troops at Manila
have an abundant supply OF smokeless
powder. The regulars have Krag-
Jorgenson rifles and about 5000 of
the same weapons are in the hanos of
the volunteers.
