PEACE TREATY DISCUSSION.
Sullivan's Resolution Will Probably
Be Adopted Today.

Washington. Feb. 2.-The executive
session of the senate was only a con-
tinuation of the legal argument which
started with Senator Spooner's speech
in the open senate. It grew out of the
question of Senator Tillman concerning
the status of the Filipinos with refer
ence TO citizenship in case fle cession
of the Philippine Islands should be ac-
ceDted.
Senator Hoar made a set argument.
quoting literally from authorities in
support Of the contention that they
would become citizens and be entitled
to all the rights and privileges as such
under the constitution. This view was
antagonized by Senators Teller. Nelson
and Platt of Connecticut. Senator Mel
son referred to the acquisition of terri
tory from France and Spain during the
history of the country, and read from
many legal opinions to show that the
Indians in such territory were not cit
liens. Mr.. Platt made the point that
citizens Of territories were not full
fiedged citizens. and Mr.. Teller F)n-
tended that they were not until they
were made such by congressional enact
ment.
Senator Davis, in charge Of the trea-
ty, expressed the opinion after the ad-
journment of the senate tonight that a
vote would be secured tomorrow on the
resolutions pending in the senate de-
clarat0Ty OF the country's future atti-
tude toward the F'ilipinOs in case of
the ratification of the treaty. The first
vote viii be on the Bacon resolution,
which Will probably be voted down. A
vote VIII then he taken upon a resolu-
tion more acceptable to the majority,
probably that offered by Mr.. Sullivan.
which, it is expected, will be adopted.

ty in the open senate tomorrow and

sion

for the transmission of General Otis
secret orders and in dispatches to the
Filipino government at Malolos. How
these orders were obtained is a mys-
J teTy.
4 Two guns of the Utah artillery have
been placed in position on Santa Mesa
hill, east of the city, overlooking the
waterworks.
Since the killing of the Filipino Off
Ger, Belmonte, by an American guard,
the American officers have not ventured
outside of Manila.
The Filipino members of the joint
commission at Manila have formally
demanded the release of the launches
seized by the Americans, and also that
they be permitted to fly the Filipino
flag in the waters II the Philippines.
General Otis is reported as being ia
vorable to granting these concessions,
but Admiral Dewey refused, not wish
ing to DUt himself in a position of
obliging him to employ searchlightS in
order to discover the movements of the
Filipinos, to prevent the smuggling of
arms or avert a possible torpedo at
tack. The use of the Filipino flag is
permitted on shore, several flying from
native houses in Manila.
a dozen natives have been arrested,
having been discovered secretly manu-
featuring bolas (native weapOns) of
war in Manila The military police al
most daily found small quantities of
bolas. rifles or ammunition. all of
which were seized. The city is thor
oughly patroled, especially at night.
and native gatherings are always un-
der the surveillance of the police.
There is no evidence that the Filipi-
nos intend to begin hostilities, but it is
practically certain that they will resist
if the Americans force matters. The
erH,
mates the government at Malolos. For
eigners are not permitted to travel in
the interior without passes signed by
Aguinaldo.

LIGHT ON A MURDER MYSTERY
ARRESTS PROMISED IN NEW
YORK POISONING CASE.
District Attorney Intimates That
Startling Evidence Will Be Pro-
duced-Resembles london Case.

New York, Feb. Light has at last
been thrown on the mysterious Adams
poisoning case. District Attorney Car
diner said today that he was of the
opinion that he could produce evidence
at the inquest that would lead 10 the
arrest OF two and perhaps three pes
sons. he said he mad the necessary
evidence for this. The poison sent to
Cornish caused the death OF Mrs. Kate
ADAMS on Dec. IS last.
For the past three days Colonel Gar
diner has been making d personal in
VestigaJiOn into the death of MIS-
Adams and Il. Barnet, the latter a
member Of the KnickerbOcker Ath-
letc club. who died in November under
suspicious circumstances. He is now
confident that the deaths are intimate
ly connected, although the motive IN
the murder OF Mrs. Adams was un-
drubtedly against the life Of Mr.. CORN
l. -. Investigation relative to the hand
" rltins mas convinced Mr.. Gardiner of
these conclusions.
Colonel Gardiner today addressed a
letter to Coroner Hart, saying that he
thinks the body of Barnet should be ex-
humed at once, unless it should be
found that it had been embalmed pre-
ViOus to burial with fluid containing
mercury.
4 agree that at the inquest the name
of some prominent people may be
mentioned, and that some scandal may
follow. / cannot say that there Will be
a political scandal, for 1 do not know
the politics of the person l have in
mind. l can say, however, that no pol
iticS have been brought into this case.
The person guilty OF this crime is a
moral peTvert. and, in my opinion, Bar
net and Cornish were the intended VIC
Tins At this time I would like 10 give
my ideas of the motive, but I think that
at the inquest proof sufficient to war
rant an arrest will be addUced. 1 am
satisfied with what i5 the motive in
the case. but my opinion is not evil
dence. 1 think that the evidence at the
inquest win run into each other in the
Barnet or the Adams case.
This murder was done with deep
deliberatiOn by q person moderately
familiar with its mystery. The inFesti-
cation shows startling things in con-
nectiOn with the pOisOns used, and the
methods of using them. The poison acts
differently in different systems. The
poisOners did not know evidently that
poison would be slow in one case and
quick in another.
I'm all probability the poisoners in
slowly. This case is similar to that Of
the Cleveland street scandal in London
some years ago"
The police are said to be closely
watching two suspects in the case.

FAvoRs INpEPENDENCE.

If the ratification of the treaty in
wolves permanent dominion, he said.
he would not vote for ii. But he had
not been able to find any halfway
resting place between accepting the
cession and abandoning the islands to
their fate, and this was not Dernis-
sible. The president, kind and gener-
Gus as he is, would not make a treaty
leaving the Philippine archipelago to
the lust, the Savagery and the brutal
ity of Spanish rule. To have attempted
this course would have been to inaugu-
rate rule of anarchy, with all its hor-
rOrs and while war was cruel and bit
ter, anarchy was hell let loose on
earth"
= In conclusion, Mr.. Spooner said that
the ratification of the treaty and the
acceptance by this country of the ces-
sion from Spain was not declaration
of principles. He declared that the
Bacon resolutions and all pending res
olutions on this subject were rich with
mischief and ought not to be ado9ted.
II was the business of congress to leg
islate and to follow the lines marked
out by the constitution and the will of
the people.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Spooner's s
argument, Mr.. Tillman explained why
he had interrupted the Wisconsin SEN
ator. He desired to incorporate with
Mr.. Spooner's speech some statements
with respect to Aguinaldo made in a
repoYt by Major J. F. Bell of the en-
gineer corps of the army.
Mr.. Spooner gave his assent to the
insertion OF the statements at the
proper place in his speech.
Mr.. Tillman, however, insisted upon
reading them. He said that Aguinaldo
had a well armed force of 10000 men,
and would resist every attempt to re-
establish a colonial government in the
islands.
Interrupting Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Hoar
inquired: Does not Aguinaldo hold in
peace and in order more than fifty
times as much territory in the Philip
pines as the United StateS?''
Mr.. Tillman replied that Aguinaldo
held all Of the Philippines except a
small portion of the island of Luzon,
al and Manila.
In conclusion, Mr.. Tillman said that
the ratification of the treaty could only
inject into this country another race
question, which would certainly breed
war and bloodshed.
Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Island present
ed a. number of memorials from busi-
ness mems associations of Boston, New
York and Chicago, urging that the ter
ritory, except Cuba, acquired by the
United States during the late war be
retained until such time as congress
may determine its final disposition"
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
THAT the president be requested, if
not incompatible with the public inter-
est, to inform the senate whether any
franchises or concessions of any char
acter are being or have been granted
by any municipality in Cuba or Porto
Rico since the military occupation
thereof by the United States; if so,
what they are, for what length of time,
and the authority by which they have
been granted?"
At 3:35 p. NJ. on motion of Mr.. Davis.
the senate went into executive session,
and at $40 p. m. adjourned.

viding rotation in office were passed:
The senate went into committee OF
the whole in the afternoon TO consider
the general calendar, the most import
ant measure considered being the sub
stitute for senate bill, providing for the
Improvement of rivers for logging pur-
poses and for collecting of tolls. After
a hard fight, section l of the bill was
adopted, insuring the passage of the
bill. Its opponents claim it is designed
to give corporations control OF the
states streams and timber.
In the house. the feature of the day
was the animated debate over the anti
deficiency Judgment BILL which was
passed by a vote of 26 to IS. The bill
is designed as a blow at loan COM
panies. During the day, steps We're
taken to investigate the workings Of the
c~ee textbook law.
Among the bills passed were the fol-
lowing: The dental bill; to appropriate
S15.159. 69 to defray the cost of mobiliz-
ing the volunteer troops; concerning
the mining interests of decedents, and
establishing a bureau of immigration,
labor and statistics.
Several bills were taken IN in COM
mittea of the whole and faVorably
acted upon. Among them was the
measure fixing eight hours as ccY' $
work for miners. The bill will D2ss
the house and il is understood its pas
SAGE in the senate is assured.
The committee Of the whole also TOOK
favorable action on the bill to tax mort
cages and professional libraries,
amending it so as to exempt -rofes-
sional libraries of the value of 5000 or
under.

prospectors, millmen and timber cut
ters were coming in from the surround
ing hills, begging provisions. Breck-
enridge was a spot in a sea of snow.
Slides in all directions made the roads
leading into the camps impossible.
The supply train included several
freight cars loaded with hay, grain,
coal beef, -four and groceries, sufficient
to last about two weeks. 1t took nine
hours to make the run from Como to
Breckenridge, thirty-four miles.
At Leadville the supply of coal is so
small that a forced shutdown of the
mines and smelters is threatened. Rail
road men say the numerous snowsildes
are unprecedented at this season of the
year. Slides usually occur only in the
spring. The cause now is the enor-
nous amount of snow on the noun
tainS.

DIR. wOODwARD's RETORT.
Replies to Recent Communication of
Judge kimbalI.

DIR. VIM c. Woodward, the District health
officer, has submitted to the Commissioners
a reply to recent complaint made to them
by Judge Kin1ball of the Police Court, rela-
tive TO the appearance in the court room
of physician said to be connected with the
smallpox service.
Judge Kimbal," wrote DIR. Woodward,
after reference to eontagion and the
manner of handling it, appears to have
lost sight entirely of the fact that a medi-
cal man-oecause of his knowledge of the
nature of contagious diseases and of meth
DDS of disinfection-can visit patients SUI
fering from such diseases and continue his
usual duties and mode of living without
carrying infection, and that his ability and
right to do so are recognized by law"
After calling attention to the fact that
the health Office officials appeared in the
court in response to subpoenas commanding
their attendance there, DIR. Woodward says:
The responsibilities of the health officer
are sufficient to render 1t exceedingly i'm
probable that he will do anything to en-
courage the spread of that or of any other
disease, and whether anything that he does
will or viii not tend to do SO Is a matter
which he is better able to. determine from
the facts in his possession and his sc-
quaintance with medical science than Is n
judge of the Police Court and which. there
fore. may be safely left to his discretion"
The Commissioners, In dismissing the
matter express their entire confidence in
the health officers discretion. and will
leave the matter to his judgment, rather
than to their own.
