NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
Proceedings of the Lawmakers I'm Senate
and House.

/
| Washington, Feb. 1S.-Following is
the business done by the senate yester-
lay: Resolution of sympathy for the
| death OF Faure sent to France; navy
personnel bill passed with amendments
and conference committee appointed:
seventy-four private pension bills put
| through, including that for General Pal
mer, of Illinois; river and harbor bill
reported; Alaska code bill read Gre
| dentials of Senator-elect Beveridge, OF
Indiana, filed.
The house passed the sundry civil bill.
| rejecting the motion to recommit with
Instructions to add the Nicaragua canal
appropriation; took up and completed
half the navy appropriation bill; au-
thorized the president to appoint addi-
tional cadets-at-large to West Point,
| and at the night session passed fifty
seven private pension bills.
Washington, Feb. 2O.-The senate
| spent most of Saturday on the post
office appropriation bill, but failed to
| complete 1t. An amendment increasing
the appropriation and designed to ex-
tend the pneumatic tube system to Chi
cago, was tabled. A number of bills
of minor Importance were passed.
| Tributes to the memory of the late
Representative Simpkins, of Massachu-
sets, were pronounced.
The house spent two hours upon the
naval appropriation bill without max
ing any progress, and devoted the re-
mainder of the session to eulogies upon
the life and public services Of the late
Representative Northway, of Ohio.
Washington, Feb. 21.-The senate took
up the postoffice appropriation yester-
day, and made the army reorganiza-
ton bill the unfinished business, thus
shelving the anti-scalping bill for this
session, the vote on this being "A to 26.
Some unlmportant business was trans
acted and an executive session held.
The house passed a bill appropriate
ing 500, 200, 900 to pay Spain for the
Philippines. refusing to add a declara-
tory resolution as to the policy to be
pursued in those islands, the vote against
such resolution being 213 to a. The
bill to reimburse states for expenses of
the Spanish war was passed. An at
tempt to appropriate 100000 for the
Buffalo Pan-American exposition was
defeated, not coming to a vote for lack
of a quorum.
Washington. Feb. 22.-The senate yes
terday passed the postoffice appropria-
ton, and spent the remainder Of the day
discussing the army reorganization bill.
Cockrell gave notice that the bill could
not pass at this session, because the
Democrats would insist on more time
for discussion than the ten days re-
naming of the session.
The house passed some unimportant
measures and put in most of the day
on the navy appropriation, reaching the
last page. The report on the status Of
members who accepted commissions in
the army was presented. 1t holds that
those accepting vacated their seats in
the house.

tolls General Otis bulletin Is not very
clear in some essential points, particu-
larly the reference to the island Of
Negroes A careful study of the dispatch
on that point has convinced the Off
Gals here that General Otis means to
say that four representative inhabi-
tants of the island of Negroes have come
to Manila, having been sent by General
Miller to meet and confer with General
Otis in regard to an extension of Amer
lean occupation to that island.
Negros is the fourth island in the

Ann Arbor Mich. Feb 20.-Colonel
William Jennings Bryan lectured on
Imperialism" Saturday night before an
audience Of students, members Of the
University of Michigan, faculty and
citizens which taxed the capacity of the
big university hall. The colonel received
a warm welcome during his reception
preceding the evening address. Colonel
Bryan went on to Detroit after the lect-
the guest of x-Representative Whiting,
late Democratic candidate for governor
Of Michigan.
In the course Of his address Colonel
Bryan said: THE president In his Bos-
ton speech has declared that the future
Of the Philippines is In the hands Of the
American people. This is all that has
been contended for by the opponents Of
the colonial policy outlined by those who
have demanded the forcible and perma-
nent annexation of the Philippine ISL

'The sooner the question Is settled the
better. 1t is putting the cart before the
horse to say that the nation cannot re-
veal Its purpose until the F'ilipinos lay
down their arms. What would
our colonists have thought Of a demand
upon the part of England that we first
lay down our arms and surrender to the
king. and then trust to the decision
that he would make. Now that the
treaty has been ratified and Spain elm
mated from the question. the American
people are free to take such action as
the circumstances require"
