issue and the bon4 refunded at 49,
721,0o0, the bank had paid. The
city now owed the bank on that ac-
count and on others. he asserted. the
sum of $4,000.
Senor Galbis described the banks
system of tax collection. He believed
the water rents Lad been one-third re-
mitted Sy the Spanish administration,
so that the city ought t, collect sz5J. Geo
annually, instead Of $500, 900.
The commission is determined to so
back of the 1890 bonds and to inquire
as to the basis of the refunded issue.
The experts of the commission began
their examination of the banks tax
collection books today.
Senor Galbis will appear before the
commission on Thursday.
The bank is nominally represented
on the commission by Senior Villaneva,

would prevent its removal. The ser

SENATOR GRAY WON OVER.
Admits He at First Opposed Acauir-
ing the Philippines.

r.
ing the Philippines
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. = Senators
Grey and Money occupied the entire
executive session of the senate today
in speeches on the peace treaty, SEN
ator Gray favoring ratification and
Senator Money opposing it, Senator
Gray was the third Of the Paris com
mlssloners to speak and while he gave
some attention to the published mat
ter bearing on the treaty, he did not go
into this in such detail as did Senators
Frye and Davis. He admitted that in
the beginning Of the negotiations he
had been opposed to the acquisition Of
the Philippine archipelago, and said
that he had freely and frankly advised
the president and his fellow commits
sioners of his belief that it would be
unwise to attempt to shape it's destiny
He had used his best endeavors to
pring them to accept his views, but had
utterly failed. He had at last reached
the conclusion that he would either
have to join with the majority or see
the treaty fail and the war continue.
In the meantime he had been largely
won over by the arguments of his coll
leagues and by the logic of the situa-
ton, and he had. at last, concluded to
sign the convention. Having taken his
position he was here now to defend the
treaty as a wise conclusion Of a most
delicate diplomatic undertaking. SEN
ator Gray did not advocate permanent
occupancy Of the eastern islands, but
said that the duration of our exercise
of sovereignty there should be settled
in the future and not at present.
Senator Money attacked the acquisi-
tfon of the islands as contrary to the
spirit of American institutions and as
unconstitutional. He said the govern
ment of the United States could not
afford to put itself in, the attitude of a
Don Quixote in a vain effort to care
for and advance the interests Of every
people in every land that appeared, ac-
cording to our standards of civilization,
to need our help. He had been an ad-.
vocate Of Intervention in the case of
Cuba, but from this fact it did not
follow that he was willing to transfer
the Philippines from Spanish vassalage'
to a dependency Of the United States.
He did not consider that we were es-
pecially concerned as to the future of
the Filipinos, and, so far as he was
concerned. he should leave them to
work out their own salvation. This
would be far preferable to assuming
responsibility for them and making
them citizens of the United States, as
they would eventually come to be If the
treaty was ratified. We had made al
lies of them in the Spanish war by the
acts of our own agents, and In the
interests Of fair dealing should allow
them to achieve their independence If
they could do 80

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 31.-Three
ballots were taken for United States
senator today without change. The
Burns faction evidently expected
something to happen, for they insisted
upon third ballot in the face of the
opposition of many of the scattering
forces. The motion for the third bal
lot was carried by vote of 10 to AZ.
The third ballot, however, was the
same as that of the first two. The
ballots taken today were the thirty

Latest Developments.

PARIS Jan S1.-The Iiberte, which
is usually well informed. says
1.-The decision ofthe court Of cassa-
ton in the Dreyfus AFFAIR will be that
the evidence proves the existence of a
traitor, but that neither Comte Ester
hazv, nor Lieut.. Col. Henry could an
sw Z to the culpabiiity revealed by the
secret dossier." -.
This statement is all the more sig
nificant, in that it is made by a pro-
Dreykus paper. The Liberte adds:
The dependency. of the Dreyfus
party seems to show that the solution
Of the problem is as distant as ever.
Another feature of the situation is the
buoyant demeanor of Comte. Ester
hazy, who was formerly so depressed
He is now credited with boldly de-
clining to give further evidence, ex-
eept before the fur court Of cassa-
