their own, as if they were choosing valen-
tines from a bargain counter In the area
In front of the president of the senate half
dozen senators were waving bills and en-
deavoring to obtain recognition from the
president of the senate.

from Senator Platt Comm, who demanded
that senators take their seats and order be
restored. AT times throughout the sessions
of the day and night the scenes were repeat

MADRID, Feb. 2S.-In the senate to-
day the opposition members of the
committee to which the governments
bill for the cession of the Philippines
was referred submitted a counter
measure.
After Duke Almodovar del Rio. min
lister of foreign affairs. had strongly re-
butted the charges of the opposition
against the government. the senate re-
jected the counter measure by 120
votes against 118. The government
thus carried the crucial vote by almost
the narrowest majority.
In the chamber of deputies the secre-
tary announced that Senores Degetan
and Cardenat had been unseated for
accepting posts in Porto Rico from the
American government.
Senior Romero Y Robledo, the spokes-
man of the Weylerite faction, In the
course of a speech regarded as con-
firming the union between himself and
Senior Sagasta and as reconstituting the

ter the vote in the senate, offered his
resignation Of the premiership to the
queen regent. The cabinet council is
still sitting.
MADRID. Feb 2S.-A ministerial cri-
sis is imminent. The cabinet is con-
vinced of the impossibility of avoiding
defeat in the senate on the vote on the

reason the indications are that objec-
