WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Continued Debate on Peace Treaty.
House Reports Canal Bill.


Feb. 2.-For a few minutes in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon it seemed likely
that a vote might be taken on one or
more Of the resolutions relating to eX-
pansion that are pending before that
body. An unusually large attendance OF
Republican senator's was present. No
vote was taken, however. In executive
session Mr. Rawlins of Utah addressed
the senate upon the Vest antieXpansion
resolution, devoting the greater part of
his time to defense of his position that
the constitution applies as we'll to peo-
pie of our territories as to those of the
states. The house entered upon the
consideration of the river and harbor
bill yesterday and made rapid progress.
Fifty of the Sc pages of the bill had
been completed when the house adjourn
ed The bill appropriates directly about
$12, 500 900 and authorizes contracts to
the extent of $1S,OOO,00O additional.
Feb. 3.-Mr. Spooper (Rep) of Wis
corsin addressed the senate yesterday
in opposition to the Vest antiexpansion
resolution. He declared himself against
the admission of the Philippines as
states Of the Union at any time, but ia
vOred the ratification of the treaty of
Paris. A lively debate occurred during
his speech between himself, Mr.. Till
man. Mr.. Hoar and others. The house
passed the river and harbor appropria-
ton BILL appropriating more than $3O.-
900 900.
Feb. Am the senate executive ses-
sion yesterday opponents of the peace
treaty changed their tactics and refused
to consent to vote upon the modifying
resolutions. Mr. Money (Dem.) of Mis-
sissippi and Mr. Daniel (Dem) of Vir-
gtnia addressed the senate during the
open session In opposition to expansion
Both chambers adopted the conference
report upon the diploma tic and consular
appropriation bill. The house interstate
and foreign commerce committee direct
ed favorable report upon the Hepburn
Nicaragua canal bill which It substi-
tutes bodily for the senate bill. The
Hepburn bill differs radically from the
Morgan measure in that it authorizes
the president to buy land and build the
canal. 1t also reduces the appropria-
tion from $40, 900, 900 to Sis 900, 900. The
house judiciary committee agreed to re-
port that General Wheeler and other
representatives who had accepted army
commissions had thereby vacated their
seats In congress.
Feb. SIN the senate executive ses-
sion yesterday the opponents to the
peace treaty again refused to consent to
a vote on the pending resolutions, and
Mr.. Morgan made an argument for rati-
fication. In open session Mr.. Wolcott
urged ratification Of the treaty and Mr..
Chiffon spoke against 1t. In the house
the Military academy appropriate bill
was passed and statues of Thomas H.
Benton and Frank P. Blair were pre-
sented by the state Of Missouri.

TiLLMAN AND LODGE.
South Carolina and Massach ms tits
Senators Discuss Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-For two
hours or more the senate yesterday had
the resolution declaratory of policy
OF this government in the Philippines
under discussion, but no vote was
reached, and the resolution went finally
to the calendar. In accordance with
notice given MIR. Tillman (Dem., S. CO.
addressed the senate upon the resolu-
ton, making a characteristic and pic
turesque argument. He maintained
that clear. explicit and direct resolu-
ton ought to be adopted and not one
that was meaningless and inconse-
quential. He predicted that dire re-
suits would follow the ratification Of
the treaty unless the United States
treated the Filipinos with absolute
firmness and gave them self govern
ment.
Mr.. Lodge (Rep., Mass.) followed with
a strong reply to Mr.. Tillman, in which
he stated clearly and directly the con
ditions confronting the United States
from the Philippines.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up, but had not been completed
when the senate adjourned.

Carter spied Mrs. Macy the minute he
landed.
Lucky saw you, Mrs. Macy" he
smiled bowing,
"Mr Carter! Saints above! Was it
you who jumped from the Manitou?
Merciful heaven! Come right over to

"Nct a Bit" declared Carter, But

edging away from the crowd with her.

But. MIR. Carterl Kate just got
aboard the Manitou for Chicago. She's
on the boat Didn't you see her?"
"See her? See whoP Kate? Well. If
I'm not the"
"Oh, Mr. Carter!"
Carter looked at Mrs. Macy hard for
an instant while he tried to figure out
the true situation.
"She went down with Mrs. Mattson to
got few things for me; she's coming
right back on the return trip. Isn't 1t
too bad?"
But Carter had resolved. He turned
TO the clerk.
"When is there train for Chicago?"
"There's one leaves Petoskey for Chi
cago in 30 minutes"
"Where's Petoskey?"
Just across the bay"
"Have got to swim it to catch that
train?"
Not at all: the steam launch is Just
ready to start. I'll hold it for you"
DO. and I'll bless you. Mrs. Macy,
I've got to see Kate pretty soon. or go
crazy. Understand? I'll meet her at
the boat when it gets there. Good-by,"
She squeezed his hands and sent many
messages: but be caught the train.
The Manitou backed up to the Rush
street decks in Chicago next day, and
Duncan Carter stood by at the gangway
in his pea jacket. When Kate Macy
tripped fastidiously down the slivered
plank nautical-looking gentleman
caught her eye.
"Mr. Carter!"

They all went to the Auditorium.
Carter didn't get much Of chance to
talk until after dinner. Happily. Mrs.
Mattson was considerate. When her
business agent arrived to talk over real
estate matters Carter and Miss Macy
found themselves vis-a-vis with moth
ing to say.

why ever you did such a crazy thing.
Suppose you had been drowned? You

frank. Tell me why you jumped"
"Just to apologize"
