SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 3.-When
the senate was called to order today a
communication was received from Sem
ator Perkins. in which he asked in
structions from the senate on the
pending question of territorial expan-
sion. He expressed the opinion that
this question is of more Importance to
the country than any problem that has
arisen during the present generation.
He stated that in the absence Of in
structions from the legislature of Cali
fornia he will vote to amend section
Of the treaty, which provides for the
payment Of $20.O00.000 for the relin-
quishment Of SPANS sovereignty and

Is Of the opinion that the United
States requires only a military station.
naval and coaling station. in the ISL
ands. Further. it seems to him that
to acquire territory in the islands or
on the Asiatic coast Is contrary to the
spirit Of the constitution. The cost Of
maintaining a standing army in the
Philippines and the expense of civil
government for the islands is also given
as another reason why the United
States should not acquire them. The

ands are densely populated is given as
the reason why they are incapable Of
development, as was the Louisiana,
California and Alaska purchases. The
unhealthfulress Of the region is an
other argument against them. The in
fuence on American industry, notably
that Of the raising Of sugar beets and
upon American labor. by the acquir-
ing of the islands. is pointed out in
the letter as not for the best interests
of the country. \The communication

Impressive Reception of the Amer

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 3.-The recep-
ton Of Gen. Clayton as the ambassa-
dor Of the United States took place to-
extended him by the Mexican govern
ment. State carriages bearing the en-
b!azoned arms of Mexico were sent,
with an escort Of squadron Of cavalry,
to the residence Of the ambassador,
who. accompanied by the secretaries
Of the embassy and the military at
taches, was taken to the palace at
noon. In the famous and historic hall
of ambassadors an immense throng of
Americans and Mexicans Of the highest
society had gathered to witness the
novel and interesting ceremony.
President Diaz. wearing the. grand
Gordon, the insignia of his office, and
surrounded by his cabinet officers, was
seated on a dias. but stood as the
American ambassador entered. Gen.
Clayton, who was dressed in his uni
form as brigadier general Of the
United States army. advanced to the
dais, where the ceremony took place.
Among other things the ambassador
said:
s.For a period of about twenty
months I have had the honor Of serv-
ing my country as It's envoy extraord!-
nary and minister plenipOtentiary to
your excellency's government in this
capital. During part of that period,
owing to unfortunate difficulties be-
tween my country and another. and re-
lations existing between your country
and ours. your duties doubtless be-
came extremely delicate; that during
the period of these unfortunate condi-
lions you held neutrality in perfect
poise I can testify. for which permit
me again to express TO you the high
est appreciation of my government"
The ambassador then went on to
speak Of the mutual commercial ALL
ance between the United States and
Mexico. Allusion was also made to
the death Of Ambassador Romero at
Washington.
President Diaz, in reply, spoke Of the
high regard his government and people
had for the people represented by the
ambassador and of his hope that the
present happy relations might always
be maintained.
The dignity and good taste displayed
by the American ambassador were sub
jects of much comment The event
will be historic one, as this Is the
first reception under the republic Of an
ambassador of any country.
