WASHINGTON. DC. Feb. G,-Thls
was a dag of excitement and severe
strain in the senate. The fact that the
treaty was 10 be voted uTon and that
the result was hanging in The balance
served to keep senators on both Sides OF
the chamber at high tension. When
the senate convened at noon,more mem
bers were present than had been In at
tendance upon any session OF the SEN
ate. since II assembled IN December.
After the ratification OF the treaty,
the senate in open session took up 4
Joint resolution offered by Mr.. McEnery
(Dem.. LAD, declaring a policy for the
Philippines and an effort was made to
adopt 1t. but the debate occupied so
much time that the resolution went
over until tomorrow.
The resolution in full follows:
That BY the ratification OF the pend
Ing treaty OF peace with Spain. 1t Is not
intended TO incorporate the Inhabitants
OF said islands Into citizenship OF the
United States. nor Is 1t intended TO per-
manently a;nex said Islands as an in
tegral part OF the territory OF the. Uni
ted States. But 1t is the intention of
the United States to establish on said
Islands a government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inhabitants
of said islands 10 prepare them for local
self-government and in due time to
make such disposition OF said Islands as
will best promote the interests OF the
citizens of the United States and the in
habitants of said Islands,"
This was suspension day In the
house and quite n number OF bills were
passed. several OF them of Importance.
The census bill, prepared by the house
committee. went through by n vote of
1912. The bill differs in several es-
seltlal features from the senate bill,
particularly IN the fact that 1t makes
the census bureau entirely Independent
OF any existing department and Chair
man Hopkins stated on the floor the eN-
pectation was that the senate would ac-
cept the house bill. \ bill was passed
to extend the anti-contract labor laws
over the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr.. Grow, (Rep., Penny, offered res
olution for n constitutional amendment
providing that peace treaties shall be
ratified by majority Of the senate.
With the simple statement that 1t was
very singular that n majority OF the
two houses could make war while two
thirds Of the senate were sequired TO
make peace. he asked that the resolu-
ton be referred to the committee on
judiciary. 1t was so referred.

EFFECT OF RATIFICATION
Offeace Treaty OIL the PrcscntSitua-
ton in Philippines.

WASHINGTON. DC. Feb. Gas, to
the change in conditions. wrought by
the ratification OF the treaty to-day
there Is 4 variance of views, and Adju-
tant General Corbln and Second As
slstant Secretary Adce. of the state de-
partment were giving the matter at
tention with the idea OF being able to
send full instructions for his future
guidance TO General Otis immedia tely.
The extreme view on one side is that
unit. 1.-The Spanis! government ratifes
the trca.rIt-iSsnot- of legal effect. Ac-
cordinS to that view, therefore. the
United States government is stopped
from proceeding beyond their lines nj.
Manila for the time. BY the other ex-
IRENE view the United States govern
ment IS free 10 do just as It pleascs in
the entire group OF islands and will
therefore proceed at once to complete
the military occupancy Of the islands.
Perhaps there is justitica ton for this
last view In the fact that the Filipinos
were Spanish subjects nomInally when
they broke the terms OF the protocol and
thereby released the United States from
its observance. The medium view, and
that which Is likely 10 be followed Is
that General Otis Is justified in doing
anything that Is necessary to protecS
his army and all American and foreign
interests interested, even il this obllg-
ed him 10 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 an intention of attacking
again or even threatening the AmerI-
cans.
Secretary Long this evening said that
no additional orders had been sent 10
Admiral Dewey and he did not antci-
pate that any would be necessary Just
now. he had been acting on the theory
that the President desired to follow the
most liberal policy in dealing with the
Fllipinos and there was no reason now
to change that policy. y
The Solace started from Norfolk at .
o'clock this afternoon With n supply OF
ammunition and other needed stores for
DeweS's fleet, via the Suez canal. but 1t
Is not the intention to send further IA
val achievements.
II was learned upon inquiry at the
war department that all the American
troops nj Manila have an abundant
supply OF smoke!ess powder The regu-
lars have the kragJorgensen rifle and
about 5000 Of the same weapons are in
the hands Of the volunteers. 80,
II IS no secret nov that the authorit-
les here were preparing TO arrest Agon-
clio just as he fled. but probably they
are not sorry that he got OFT safely and
thus relieved them from the perform
ance Ola disasrceable task.
The conduct, OF the remaining mem
bcrs OF the Philippine junla Is Still. unr
der close watch and while the treat
ment 10 be accorded them has not been
determined. /; is recognized that they
are in precarious position legally and
can secure immunity only by the exer-
cse OF the greatest discretion.

Sterling Elliott Will Advocate Such u
Step Before the Il. a. W.
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. Feb. 6.-Be-
ginning Wednesday. the annual ma
,Ional assembly OF the League Of Amer
lean Wheelmcn Will be held. and the
proceedings Will be watched with IN
tercst, not only by the 1890 members
OF the big organization. but by riders
o, the wheel all over the country. Nat
uralIy there Is more or less interest at
,ached TO the filings OF the offices, but
The main topic 10 be discussed will be
the question OF the final disposition OF
racing.
Thomas J. Keenan, seems ..tn be the
unanimous choice. and thtreis little
doubt OF his election TO the presidency.
He IS NOW the first vice president. It
is but the natural order OF events that
he should direct the movements of the
l.. a. W. next year. IL
Herbert Foltz. OF indianapolis. man
known throughout the country as n
worker Is the candidate for first vice
president, and even though there is talk
OF that position being filled by George
Cossum, OF New York, 1t Is Thought
very likely that the young man from
the Hooser town will be the first one
on the list, and the Empire state rep
resentative TO follow. F@HTeasurer
there has been number OF candidates
talked of, including O'Brlen, OF Nebras-
ka, and J. C. Tattcrsall, Of Trenton.
who Is the. present holder OF the league
funds.
keenan, Is said to favor Mears for
chairman of the racing board. us the
Cleveland man was the first to boom
him for the presidency, and has ac-
compllshcd some good work In the cam
paign. now drawing to q close. Never
1heless. there seems TO be Il reasonable
doubt OF Mears being selected.
Twenty-Five amendments Will be Of
fercd for adoption ut the assembly, the
most important Of which will be Ster-
linz Elliotts PROPOSAL TO drop racing.
Year after year. since 1t was first intro
duced by Potter. this proposal has been
introduced at the assembly, and each
year the vote for it has grown strong-
err 50 that now there is 4 fair chance
Of It's success.
