WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9th, 1899
If the ability of Agoncillo, who has
asked for recognition as Philippine Min.
lister to the United States, was equal to
his lmpudence, he would be a warm
member" of the Diplomatic Corps. He
won't get any official recognition, but he
has already made much trouble for US
10 the Philippines. He learned some
time ago, BY some leakage in official cir
Giles, that Gen. Otis had been instructed
not to use force in dealing with the in
surgents, without further orders, and at
once cabled the information to Agui-
naldo, through the Philippine Junta at
Hong Kong; that's why Aguinaldo has
been putting up such stiff front to-
wards our troops. AgonciIlo is also get
ting encouragement from the anti ex-
pansionists in Congress. Senator Ma
son has offered resolution, declaring
that the United States will not attempt
to govern the people Of any other coun.
try without the consent of the people
themselves, or subject them by force to
our dominion against their will.
The House Judiciary Committee has
taken no official action, but its members
are unanimously of the opinion that the
acceptance of commissions in the vol
unteer army by Representatives yaca-
ted their seats in Congress.
Another vote was made for the rati-
fication of the treaty of Peace when the
California legislature adopted resolu-
tion directing the Senators from that
state to vote for ratification, without
amendment, Of the treaty. Senator
Perkins had announced his intention to
vote against ratification, unless the leg.
lslature of his state instructed him to
vote for it. If the legislatures in other
states followed the sentiment of the ma.
jority of their constituents, there would
doubtless be similar instructions sent to
other "bucking" Senators.
For the twelfth annual time the Hou sc
made the Civil Service clause of the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap-
preparation bill the basis for "circus."
This time. however, the performance
was carried little farther than ever
before. and motion to strike out The

third of the entire membership, it was
not surprising when the yea and nay
vote was taken in the House. that the
motion was defeated by small margin,
but there may come a day when it will
not be defeated.
Some good propositions are ruled out
on points of order in the House. One
of them Is, that offered by Representa-
tive Hartman. of Mont, that any mem.
Der of the House who retained any por-
ton of the $500 a month allowed him
for clerk hire. should forfeit his seat.
Later modified so that any member
who attempted to retain any portion OF
this allowance should forfeit that
amount. Mr.. Hartmen was very con-
siderate toward the feelings Of the mem.
bers Of the present House; lie said he
had Information that members of pre-
yious Congresses had made practice Of
pocAeting all, or large portion, Of this
allowance. He struck some Of his COL
leagues hard, however, when he added:
"No man who would be guilty of such
an actis fit to hold seat in this House."
It seems like little thing in itself. but
little abuses invariably lead to larger
ones, and often to great national scan
dals. 1t is notorious in Washington
that outside Of few men, who pay out
much more than the allowance for cler
ical assistance, most of the Congressman
work some tort of dodge to keep all,
or a part of this allowance in their own
pockets. Some do 1t by employing
some member of their family, often a
boy or girl at school and regularly pre-
senting voucher signed by them for
the entire amount, but the favorite
method seems to be to hire some poor
devil as clerk, making him sign vouch
ers for $500 month and paying him
only a small portion Of it. Mr.. Hart
man should try to find some way to
make the members of the House put
themselves on record for or against his
proposition.
Senator Caffrey agrees with Senator
Vest, that colonial policy is against
the Constitution of the United States,
and said in a speech, that to establish
one would be despotism. The follow
ing extract from his speech sounds good,
and. if there were no contented Eng
lish colonies, might be CONFERENCE.-The
history of the world shows that God has
set the bounds where the different PEG
pie of the earth shall abide. When !

cruel despotism."
In offering his resolution, calling on
the President for all the instructions
given to Peace Commissioners. which
was adopted by the Senate, although
opposed by Mr.. Davis, Chairman of the
