the Subject,

JEFFERSON CITY. Jan. 11.-(Specialo
The Democrats of the house are anti-ex-
pansionists. By a vote of 81 to 56 the
house to-day refused to table resolution
against the annexation of the Philippines
introduced by Hamilton, Democrat, of
Davfess. The resolution was made a spe-
cial order for Wednesday. January is. at
o'clock. All the Republicans and one
Democrat. J. Raleigh Nicholson. of Cass.
voted to table the resolution. which read
as follows:
Whereas. The Philippine islands are re-
mote tropical islands peopled with semi
barbaric races. where climatic conditions
forbid enterprise; the people aliens. who,
On account of racial interests and tradi-
tions. cannot be equipped for the discharge
of the high duties of American citizenship;
and.
Whereas. The acquisition of said islands
tangling alliances with foreign countries
imperil the Monroe doctrine. menace the
peace and tranquility of the country and
require an increase of the navy and a
large standing army. with increased bur-
dens OF taxation; and.
Whereas. We believe that such a policy
and that large standing army would en-
danger the liberties of the people.
Resolved, That the house of representa- :
| tives of the. Fortieth general assembly is
opposed to the annexation Of said islands. y
Walter Jones. Republican. of Howell, at
once moved to lay the resolution on the
table. A half dozen Republicans seconded
the motion. After ii was voted down. Lee,
Democrat. of Carter. moved that the men,
bers ''be given a chance to air their views
on Imperialism. and the matter went over
until next Wednesday.
To put the Democrats on record, Leonidas
B. Woods. Republican, of Mercer. then in
troduced this resolution, as embodying the
Republican position:
| Whereas. The yoke of tyranny which
bound the F'ilipinos to Spain was effectual-
| ly severed when Admiral Dewey. with
| American ships and American seamen.
| sank the Spanish fleet to the bottom of
Manila bay; and
Whereas. The United States government
thereby assumed sacred obligation to the
struggling natives of the Philippine islands
! to guarantee to them freedom from op-
preston and to give to them the benefits of
liberty and the Quickening influences of a
Christian civilization: and,
| Whereas. The treaty of Paris. now be-
| fore the senate of the United States for rat
| ification, is document of first Importance
| in securing these ends; be it
| Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the

GOOD PROSPECT FOR A ROW.
visinE Session One of Discord
and Turbulence.

JEFFERSON CITY. MO-. Jan. 1o-(spe-
cial) The army of applicants, the dearth
of positions and Speaker Wards determi-
nation to reward only his friends promise
to make a whole lot Of trouble in the
house. Lee, Whitecotton, Hall and Kneis-
ley are in rebellion. and are not careful
to conceal a desire for fight. The re-
vision session. when peace. quiet and work
should be the order, gives promise of a
turbulent uproar among the Democrats.
The members are clamoring for an army
of clerks, so that yearning constituents
may be satisfied. 1t is said, however, that
the house committee on clerical force will
recommend only 120 clerks. or thirty fewer
than the senate has. Now the scheme is
to turn down the report of the committee
and leave the matter of clerical force to
secret Democratic caucus. In that case
every Democratic member would proba bly
get a clerk. 1t is said that Speaker Ward
is desirous of keeping down the force in
order to make show of economy, but the
members who are in rebellion say that
their constituents are more desirous of
clerkships than of economical legislation.
