A SEVEN HOURS SESSION.
The HOuse Passes Two Appropriation
Bills and Discusses the FiIipinOs.

HIN ana Discusses the FtlipiHOa.
AS the result of seven hours session.
the House of Representatives yesterday
passed two appropriation bills, the army
supply bill, carrying about SO 100000, and
the Notifications. about s4,700.Hl9 The
conference report upon the Indian appro-
priation bill was also adopted. The only
amendment of Importance attached to the
army bill was one giving two months ex-
| ira pay to enlisted men in the regular army
who served beyond the limits of the United
States during the war with SPAIN and one
months extra pay to those who served in
the United States. The discussion of the
administrations policy relative to the Phil
ippines which has been occupying the at
tention of the members to the exclusion of
almost everything else during the consid-
Grafton of appropriation bills for the last
two weeks, was continued, several speeches
being made on the subject.
Mr.. Dockery (Mo.), the leading democrat
on the appropriations committee, asserted
that the appropriations for this Congress
would reach 81. GD,OO,C0o.
MI. Grosyenor (OhiO) delivered a thirty
minute speech, generally replying to the
charges emanating from the opposition
during the past few days that there had
| been an alliance between the United States
and the insurgent forces In the Philippines
He carefully went over the official records
to show that there never had been any
alliance. He produced the specific order
or The PfSStdef6, SetiS dltST the pa4tl4 OF
Manila, prohibiting any alliance of any
character, the dispatch of Dewey of June
3 stating that he had made none, the state
ments of Consul Pratt and Consul Wild

Of State. One after another he reviewed

had been rebuffed by the American author

DEMOCRATS AND FILIPINOS.
Resolutions Adopted by the Caucus of
Representatives Last Night.

Resolutions Adopted nv the caucus OF
Representatives Last Night.
The democrats of the House of Represen-
tatives at a caucus last night adopted the
following resolutions:
I'VE hold that the Constitution of the
United States was ordained and established
for an intelligent, liberty-lovng and self
governing people, and cannot be success
fully applied to a people of different vir-
tues and conditions. We therefore hold
that a colonial policy is contrary to the
theory of our government and subversive
of those great principles Of civil liberty
which we have been taught to cherish. We
believe with the Declaration of Indepen-
dence that all governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and we are unalterably opposed to
the establishment of any government by
the United States without the consent of
the people to be governed, and in con-
forrnity with these principles we instruct
the minority members of the foreign affairs
committee to introduce and urge the fol-
lowing resolution:
Permanent Occupation Not Intended.
Resolved, That the United States hereby
disclaim any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignty, jurisdic-
ton or control over the Philippine Islands,
and assert their determination when an
Independent government shall have been
erected therein to transfer to said govern
ment upon terms which shall be reasona BILE
and Just all rights secured under the ces-
sion by Spain. and thereupon to leave the
government and control of the islands to
their people.
Another resolution Offered by MIR. Griggs
(GaD was adopted also, as follows:
I'VE, the democratic members of the
House Of Representatives il caucus as
sen;b,ea, commend thc signal loyalty and
valor of Cur soldiers and sailors in the per
for:naEce Of every military duty to which
the have been assigned by proper au-
tholity. However much We may dep'ore the
policy of the administration now directing
their movements, and W. nledge to them
our hearty support ard sympathy under
all circumstances wherever engaged"
The caucus lasted from O'Clock until
nearly midnight. there >hging considerable
discussion, though scarcely any disagree
inert.
Objection to Renssurins FiIipinOs.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Living
ston of Georgia declaring THAT the
United States Congress as soon as
the treaty of peace between this gov
eminent and Spain is ratified, give notice
to the inhabitants of the Philippines that
II is not our desire or purpose to hold them
under permanent military control, or as
colonial subjects. but as soon as prac-
tcable to aid them to establish reDubl-
can form of government and to become in
dependent and self-sustaining with such
commercial and military privileges for the
United States as may be agreed upon be-
tween u.s. In the meantime, we will pro-
tect both persons and property, with the
largest liberty to citizens possible under the

Canal but Slightly Damaged.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal has es-
capped SO far this winter with less damage
than it experienced in any previous season.
This is very gratifying news to General
Manager Nicolson, who kept himself posted
during the recent blizzard on the condition
of affairs all along the line. 1t is likely
that the season on the canal will be re-
opened about the middle of next month.
