Chamber of Deputies Adopts Gov
ernments Proposal.

Paris, Jan. 30.--The Chamber of Deputies
to-day, by vote of S46 TO lS9 adopted the
governments proposal to submit to the
committee entrusted with such matters
the bill providing that cases of trial re-
vision shah be brought before the united
sections of the Court of Cessation. The
minister of justice, M. Lebret, introduced
the bill, and asked that it he sent 10
the committee. 1t was read amid profound
silence
The preamble of the measure declaring
that the bill was one of necessity for peace
and to restore calm in the country was
greeted with applause from the Center,
and murmurs from the Extreme Left
NJ. Georges Berry, Conservative, repre-
senting the First division of the Seine.
said the Chamber was not aware why the
government introduced the bill, and asked
for official publication Of the evidence in
the case of NJ. Bard, who reported on TIE
preyfus case TO the Court of Cessation
(Cheers)
The premier, NJ Dupuy, said he did not
wish the chamber to vote In the dark He
was desirous that fun light he thrown on
the subject, and, therefore. the govern
ment would submit to ihe committee the
complete documents In the case. (Cheers).
The committee met after the chamber
had adjourned, and NJ. Mazeau's report
was communicated TO il.
NM. Poincaire and Bourgeois are organ
izing the opposition TO the governments
bin. 1t appear that NM. Loew and Bard
and Manau refused 20 appear be-
fore NJ. Mazeau's committee and they will
probably be summoned before the commit.
tee of the chamber. If asked TO justify
their conduct they may be compelled to
produce the secret evidence they received
In that event The whole truth will come
out in the Chamber of Deputies.
Maj. Count Esterhazy has again been
before the criminal section of the Court of
Cessation, but it is understood that he re-
fuses to give any further testimony before
the section and insists upon being heard by
the entire court.

Havana, Jan. 3O.-Presldent Mckinley is

Mr.. Porter will probably go with senor

course, it would be necessary for the
United states to exercise some sort of con-
trol over the islands, at least for time.
MT. Teller then offered an amendment
NJ NJ me resolutions covering his point, and
Mr.. Bacon accepted it,
Kesumlng, Mr.. Carter said that sena-
tors We're behttling the dignity and de-
slroylng the confidence reposed in this
country by foreign nations by endeavor-
ing 10 mortgage the future policy OF he
government and voting a lack of conf
dence in the nation by even attempting
to adopt such resolutions as were pend
ing. He declared that the passage of
such acts would be a declaration that the
people had no confidence in those who ere
TO be in position to make a disposition
OF the islands in accordance with the terms
of the treaty.
We Cannot Afford 1t.
THE adoption of these resolutions" he
declared, would be a pledge to those
who are defying the authority of the Uni
ted States government in the Philippine
Islands. As a nation we cannot afford to
have it understood that the United States
army was expelled from those islands
Some of the Philippine insurrection seems
to have been imported by the way of the
Hong Kong Philippine Junta into this
country
II would not vote for such a petty, tri-
entire army of the United States to show
the aggregation of Malays, Mohammedans
and Filip'nos who doubt our authority
that we would not bulge one inch"
Mr.. Carter thought this country needed
change in its foreign policy, and thought
our trade would not amount to much
abroad until 1t Is once thoroughly under
stood that an American citizen would be
protected in all his rights In any part of
the world. He thought il a shame on the
United States government that many of
its citizens, seeking protection, passed by
the American consulate and entered those
of Great Britain or France.
Should Assert Our Authority.
Replying 10 question by Mr.. Mason,
Mr.. Carter said that the power of the
United States was the only authority to-
day recognized in the Philippines
Being the only responsible government
there" said he "the safety of every citi-
zen on those islands, be he German, Eng
lish or what not, rests upon US. We can
not say with propriety to the rebel forces
on those islands, we will give you every
thing We have fought for if you will
only permit US to ratify the treaty of
peace with Spain"
I'VE will inquire when this treaty shall
have been ratified who on those islands is
in rebellion against our government. If
they do not recognize the rights and au-
thority we shall exercise there we Will
whip them to death. The soldiers of the
United States will not withdraw from
those islands until a proper and stable
government shall have been established
there"

of Mr. Davis, went into executive session.

BUTLER BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Says Cubans VIII in Time BE Capa-
BILE of Self Government.

Washington, Jan. 30-Gen. NJ. C. But
Ter was given hearing by the Senate
committee on military affairs to-day in
regard to affairs in Havana, where he has
been recently stationed as one of the evac-
uation commission.
He gave a detailed account of the re-
ish soldiers and the Cubans. He express
ed the opinion that Gen. Brooke's order
forbidding participation in the evacuation
ceremonies by the Cubans was a neces-
sary precaution and that if it had not
been issued there would have been trouble
The Spanish residents were exceedingly
nervous. At the same time he thought the
Cubans should be treated literally and
allowed to participate to a considerabl
extent in the conduct of the Cuban at
fairs.
He believed that the Cuban soldiers
could be utilized and that if there were
an organized force of such soldiers under
American command they could be utilized
in maintaining order, even among the Gu
bans. He dwelt at some length upon the
excessive taxes imposed under the old
system.
Gen. Butler expressed the opinion. that in
time the Cuban people would be capable
of self-government, but that they should
be given an opportunity to quiet down and
get used to a more liberal administration
than they had ever known. He said in re-
ply to a question from Senator Carter that
a census of Cubans would be advisable.

BALFOUR ON FRIENDSHIP.
Believes Relations With America
VIII Prove Lasting.


London Jan. Sort. Hon. Arthur James
Baifour, first lord of the treasury and
leader of the mnisterials in the House
of Commons, delivered his annual ad-
dress this evening to his constituents at
Manchester.
After speaking of the great difficulty
which continental nations find In under
standing the British aims, he continued
as follows:
"But there is surety one great country
which by community OF language relig-
ious blood, origin and even institutions,
is well-fitted to understand us. and a
country which we should be we.l-htted
to understand. Need ! say that the coun-
try to which l refer is the United States?
Some foreign critics cynical by profess
sion and training hold the opinion that
the friendship now happily subslstng be-
tween the English-speaking people on both
sides of the Atlantic is but the growth Of
the moment, and depends upon a transit
tory community Of interests They affect
10 believe that when this disappears.
friendship also win disappear. They hold
that if British trade should feel injured
by some inconvenient tariff, Immediately
the sentiments so generally fe.t at this
moment in Great Britain toward America
would vanish like the leaves in autumn.
According to my observations" said
Mr.. Balfour. "the word of cynics is always
wrong. 1 believe the cynics wrong in this
case. If our good relations really. depend
upon these fortutous circumstances, while
the latter might be the foundation of an
alliance, they could not be the founda ton
of what is infinitely more important-of
that species of friendship which, in season
and out of season, through good report or
i'll. is not to be shattered by mere personal
circumstances .
