This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The House
put in a hard days work on the army
bill, and tonight when it. adjourned.
thirteen of the twenty pages had been
completed. The committee amend
ments, giving the President discretion
airy power to reduce the size of the in
fantry companies and cavalry troops
to sixty men each, were adopted, and
also a series of amendments to reduce
the officers Of the staff to S31. A sub
stitute was adopted for the section pro-
viding for promotions designed to
equalize promotions. A fight was made
to reduce the age limit for officers to
be appointed to the various staff de-
partments from so to 80, but it failed.
An amendment was, however adopted
to require mental and moral as
well as physical examination for such
appointees Much of the time to-day
was occupied in short speeches on the
general proposition to increase the
army and annex the Philippines, and
there were several lively personal con-
troversieS.
The House will meet tomorrow and
whatever time remains before 3 o'clock,
after the bill is completed under the
five-minute rule, will be devoted to
general debate. The heavy weights on
both sides will close. The final vote is
to be taken at 8 o'clock.

the police to be on hand, as she feared vi
olence at his hands. When the Union Pa
cific train arrived, Mr.. Wells was on hand
and so was police officer, but the aged
banker was not in a homicidal mood On
the contrary, he was inclined to make up
his differences with his young wife, but
she would have none of it. With toss Of
her head she bade him go away and leave
her alone. Mr.. Wells complied for the
time being, but purchased ticket to Chi
cage and followed his wife to that city

cally in San Francisco friends of the
couple say they expect to see a reconcilia-
ton effected in a few days.

to the German sugar industry from
America IN the near future, said the man
,ufacturers of Saxony took a quite diff
ferent view from those who poOh-poohed
the danger and moderated the colossal
financial resources and enterprise of the
American sugar trust" which in Califor-
MIA was making great progress in sugar
production. The only thing to help Ger
man manufacturers. in the opinion of the
speaker. was to tighten the excise duty
on sugar and thus promote home con-
sumption
Baron Won Hammerstein-L oxen, the
Minister Of Agriculture, in reply, said he
fully agreed with the statement that
serious danger existed from America
Moreover, he remarked, the export of SUI
during the next few years now that ener-
getic and intelligent American capitalists

ger arising from the production of beet
sugar in America, he further said. was
continually Increasing and 1t was true
that the export Of German sugar to
America was 2,40O009 double hundred
weight below the exports of Great Brit

the only remedy was an Increase of the

HIS VAIN PROTESTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Sixto. Lopez
secretary of Agoncillo the Philippine rep
resenta teye here. called at the State De-
partment this afternoon and left with the
chief clerk another communication ad-
dressed to the Secretary of State protest
ment toward the Filipino republic" The
terms of the protest do not go as far as
an utimatum. The same fate awaits this
communication as that which befell its
predecessors 1t will be automatically
ignored.
Accompanying the communication is a
long memorial addressed to the Senate
containing a comprehensive argument in
opposition to the ratification of the treaty
and which the envoy asks the President
to send to that body. The letter of trans
initial contains more than the mere re-
bound by courtesy not to make 1t public
until an opportunity is had by the State
Department officials to make a reply.

FITZSIMMONS' MONEY
WILL BE COVERED
Announcement Made After Sharkey
Had Put "Jack" McCor-
mick to Sleep.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-Tom
Sharkey tonight announced that
O'Rourke would, on his behalf, cover
the money deposited in New York by
Fitzsimmons. The announcement was
made after Sharkey had put out Jack
Mccormick Of this city in the second
round of what was to have been a six
round go at the Arena. The bout lasted
as long as it did probably because the
sailor wanted to give the great crowd
present something for their money.
Sharkey decided to end the exhibition
after lively exchange in the opening
of the second. He put in a left upper
cut, sent right and left in turn to the
jaw and brought the right up again to
the same spot. Mccormick went down
and stayed the limit. When he got to
his feet again Tom banged a right in
the stomach and left on the jaw and
the local man went out of business. The
round lasted two minutes and fifteen
seconds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-An effort on
the part of Allison to obtain consideration
in the Senate to-day of the Indian appro-
priation bill precipitated a running debate
which occupied all the time until the Sen
ate, at o'clock, went into executive ses-
sion on the peace treaty.
Jones of Arkansas, leading the opposi-
ton to the treaty, opened the debate by
insisting that time should be taken for
the discussion. of pending resolutions hav-
ing collateral bearing upon the treaty
before the treaty itself was disposed of,
and Bacons resolutions finally were laid
before the Senate.
After some parliamentary sparring the
resolutions were made the text of a strong
speech by Carter of Montana. Ordinarily
calm and deliberate in his utterances,
Carter to-day spoke with impassioned
earnestneSs, warning his colleagues that
a favorable vote on any of the pending
resolutions would be a vote of lack of con-
fidence in the American people. He de-
clared that the adoption OF the resolutions
would be a pledge TO those who were de-
flying the authority of this country In the
Philippines and that when the treaty had
been ratified this Government would in
quire In those islands VINO were Il. IN reoel-
lion against our authority and II neces-
sary to maintain our authority we would
whip them to death.
Carter said that Senators were belittling
reposed in this country by foreign nations
by endeavoring to mortgage the future
policy of the Government and voting
lack of confidence in the nation by even
attempting to adopt such resolutions as
were pending. He declared that the pass
age of such acts was declaration that
the people had no confidence In those VINO
were to be in position to make a as
position of TIE islands in accordance with
the terms of the treaty. 1t amounted to a
pledge to ourselves that we did not pro-
pose to do what we did not want to DO.
1t would have been just and proper, he said
for the first Congress to attempt TO blnd
Congress for a hundred years as for this
Congress to attempt to bind the action in
a matter of this kind of any future Con-
gress.
1.-The adoption of these resolutions he
declared. would be a pledge to those VINO
are defying the authority of the United
States Government in the Philippines. As
a nation we cannot afford to have IT I'M
derstood that the United States army was
expelled from these islands. Some of the
Philippine insurrection seems to have
been imported by way of the Hongkong
Philippine junta into this country. i
would not vote for such petty, trifiing
promise even If 1t were to take the entire
army of the United States to snow the
aggregation of Malays, Mahomedans and
Filipinos that we would not bulge one
inch"
Carter thought this country needed a
change In it's foreign policy, and thought
our trade would not amount to much
abroad until it was once thoroughly un-
derstood that an American citizen would
be protected in all his rights in any part
of the world. He thought 1t shame on
the United States Government that many
of its citizens, seeking protection, passed
by the American conSulateS and entered
those of Great Britain or France.

have been a twenty-round fight here to-
night between Jack Steiner and Tom Sill

fighting fair. or did not know how to do
so. and the fight was stopped. The de-
cision met with general approval.
