THE TREATY
EXPLAINED
The McEnery Resolutions
Tell What 1t Did
Not Mean.
BY A NARROW MARGIN
The Senate Approved A
Harmless Declaration Up
on the Philippine
Question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE hous
} consumed nearly an hour in the discus
sion of minor personal and railroa
bills after being called to order a
noon. AT 1 O'Clock the house wen
into committee of the whole to cont
nue. consideration of the service appro
priation bill.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-When tn,
senate was called to order at IL o'clocl
this morning not over a dozen of it,
members were present. The chaplain
is still snowbound and the prayer wai
again omitted.
Routine business was disposed of in
ten sminutes and Stewart (Nevada,
commenced a speech on the McEnery
resolution. He said that this was
most inopportune moment to declare
what the policy of the United States
should be with reference to the Philip
pines. This country was at war and
the administration ought not to be en-
barrassed at this time.
Stewart contended that the islands
should be ours. In fact they are ours
now, but the McEnery resolution pro-
poses either to give them away or sell
them.
He opposed that policy for the rea-
son that if the Philippines are retain
ed the United States could build up q
great: commerce in the orient.
After discussion by Hoar, Wolcott,
Lodge, and others the amendments
were defeated, 20 to 20, the president
casting the deciding negative vote.
The McEnery resolutions then pass
ed, 26 to %.
The resol lutions read as follows:
"That by the ratification of the
treaty of peace with Spain it is not in
tended to incorporate the Inhabitants
of said islands into citizenship of
the United States, nor ia it intended
to permanently annex said islands as
an integral part of the territory of the
United States; but it is the intention
of the United States to establish
on said islands government
suitable to the wants
and conditions of the inhabitants, to
prepare them for local self-govern-
ment, and in due time to make such |
of said islands as will best
promote the interests of the citizens of |
the United States and the Inhabitants |
Of said islands,

Will Probably Lecture In Fl paso In
the Near Future.

Ex-Governor Robert L. Taylor of
tennessee will probably visit Ell Paso
in the near future and deliver one of
his famous lectures under the auspices
OF the local Tennessee society.
Taylor's manager wants q guarantee
OF $500, but as the governor contem-
plates spending a month here for the
benefit of his health. A. p. Coles, pres

that SlOO guarantee. which he is ready
to put up, will be sufficient.

Now Yielding Ore Worth
$500 Per Ton.
A BIG SHELTER NEEDED,
And If 1t Is Put In, AS Now Appears
Likely, 1t Will Be Of Great Value
To the Immense Mining Region In
That Immediate Vicinity.

J. G. James, of Ell Paso, and II. G.
Lowther, of Pennsylvania, leave Sat-
urday for the famous Seven Star mine
in the Chuichupa district beyond Casas
Grandes. They will be accompanied
by Albert Boggiano of Memphis.
James, Lowther and John Duthey
| are now sole owners of the mine and
are expending considerable money de-
veloping it and taking out ore. The
seven veins from which the mine takes
its ooame radiate into the
mountain at distance of
60 or 70 feet apart. A tunnel is
being dug under the veins by fifteen
wOrkmen who have been so engaged
or the past two months. A large
quantity of low grade ore, worth pos
sibly SIS per ton, has been taken out
and now lies on the dump. This ore is
not valuable enough for shipment, but
when the - ssmelter is put in it can be
handled with profit.
j. G. James has just received a letter
from Duthey, who is experimenting
operations at the mine, that he had just
struck what appears to be a limitless
amount Of ore that is easily worth $500
to the ton. It was the receipt of this
letter that caused Mr.. James to decide
to go at once to the mine and investi-
gate.
The owners at present are slightly
by the remoteness of their |
property from the Sierra Madre rail- |
way. The probable narrow guage ex-
tension from Casas Grandes.to Chuichu-
pa would greatly facilitate the ship
ment of ore, for then it would only |
have to be tran nsported by burros to
AT present the distance from the rail-
way is too great to justify the shipment
)f any but high grade ore and large
Quantities of the SIS ton ore are accu-
awaiting the building of the
'melter a t the mines
The mine is capsbl of yielding 15O
Dr. 200 tons of low grade ore per day
md for othat reason it is probable
he owners will lose no time in putting
