WHEN SENATE WILL VOTE
ON THE TREATY OF PEACE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Only brief
time was occupied by the Senate to-day
In open session. A few bills on the calen-
dar were passed, but no other business
of Importance was transacted.
Chandler of New Hampshire introduced
a bill temporarily creating the office Of
admiral of the navy. 1t was referred to
the Naval Affairs Committee.
The Senate consumed about forty-f1ve
minutes in executive session in arriving
a decision to vote on the peace treaty.
AS soon as the doors were closed and the
public excluded Senator Davis, chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee, took
thorized by the committee to accept the
proposition made in executive session by
Mr.. German yesterday to vote on the
treaty within ten days. He therefore
asked for unanimous consent that the
vote should be taken at o'clock on Mon
day, February 6, saying that exactly ten
legislative days would intervene be-
tween this time and that. He intimated
that If there were any objections to this
date he would like to hear them but none
were heard, and the hour and the day
were unanimously agreed to. The remain
der of the forty-five minutes were spent
in the exchange of questions and answers
a time for vote and in making sure that
all understood the fact. There was also
an agreement that the Senate should go
into executive session each day between
this time and February for the discus
sion of the treaty. Authority was also
given for making the announcement or
the agreement public.
The opposing Senators made no objec-
ton to this date, neither suggesting an
earlier or later date.

simply demanding their evacuation, as
was done in the case of Cuba? Why dld
not Senator Davis, who was in charge OF
the treaty in the Senate, agree to allow
the passage of a resolution disaVoWlng
the Governments purpose to hold the
islands permanently? These were patent
must be faced squarely. everything
pointed in one direction-the purpose to
annex the Philippine Islands.
Continuing, the speaker drew a paraiIe, oI,d
the struggle of the Filipinos for indepen-
dence. He argued that to-day they had
a stable government; repuollcan IN 10rm' 1
a President, Vice President and Con-
gress. the whole founded upon the free
consent of the governed.
To attempt to subvert that Government
he charged, would be an .'unspeakkaolee speak
shame to the cheek of every freeborn
American. They had not waged war for
a change of masters. They had rejected
of the President of the United States.
They. preferred to be free and they now
stood with arms in their hands, aundaunt- nj
ed, standing against t the United stat states bod roT
independence and liberty, as lney Hau
stood against Spain.
A people with such stamina were
worthy of their freedom. Could 1t be
criminal aggression" TO annex cuba and ana
Philippines? 1t was true. the natives
were alien in race, language and habits
of thought. and, therefore, the whole
scheme was to hold them as Spain had
held her colonies in times past, as Eng
land holds hers now, ruled over by mill
tary satraps. They might not be as ca
pable as we for self-government, said
Johnson, with biting sarcasm. They
might not be able to corrupt legislators
in order to hold dishonored seats in the
Senate, as we were. They might not be
able to decide contested election cases
according to the party considerations in
stead OF their merits, as We were. They
might not be able to practice fraud in
elections. They might be lacking in all
these essential attributes of republican
ism, but they were capable of conStitut-
ing a government according to their own
ideas. All governments were progressive
and in time they would rise on their dead
selves to higher things.

tinued drawing himself up to his full
height, that 1 have broadened since 1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Not since
the stirring days before the declaration
Of war last spring has the House wit
messed such an exhibition of excitement
and such scenes of unbounded enthusi-
asm as occurred to-day when two Re
publicans Johnson, the Indiana men,
Der, and Dolliver of Iowa, locked horns
on the question of expansion. The army
BILL which was under debate, was
swallowed UP in the broader question
of our future national policy and the
debate was lifted from the deal level
of mediocrity into absolute brilliancy.
Johnson secured time from the Demo-
cratic side to attack the position of the
administration. 1t was not the first
time he has broken away from his
party on public questions. On past oc-
CasionS he has won a reputation as a
master of invective and the knowledge
that he was to speak attracted an enor-
nous crowd to the galleries. To-day
he added to his reputation. With sa-
tire, irony and wit, the keen thrusts Of
his logic were driven home. His words
flowed in a perfect torrent. He de-
nounced the proposition to annex the
Philippines as subversive Of every ira
dition dear to the American heart in
the past and the inauguration of a
policy that would end in the downfall
of the republic. He said the ratifica-
tion Of the treaty by the Senate would
sound the death knell of all the efforts
of those who were trying to prevent
the country from rushing on to suicide
and declared if he were a Senator he
would rot in his seat before 1t should
be ratified. He denounced the Presi-
dent as the slavish follower of public
opinion, but warned him that the tide
would recede and the voice of the peo-
pie would in time rebuke. Members
stood in the aisles ten deep while he
was speaking, but he tried to stop the

LOS ANGELES STREET RAILWAY
STOCK INVOLVED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


LOS ANGELES, Jan. z5.-The out
come of the recent agitation regarding
the wrecking of the Pacific Bank of
San Francisco will be a lawsuit be-
tween the bank as plaintiff and Moses
H Sherman of this city as defendant.
A complaint has been filed in the Su-
perior Court of this county in which
the bank asks for an accounting Of 25,-
500 shares of stock in the Los Angeles
Consolidated Railway.
The complaint alleges that in 1889
the bank and Sherman were equal own
ers of the stock in question, which was
of a par value of $3.50, 600, and consti-
tuted 81 per cent of the capital stock
of the corporation. That plaintiff and
defendant might retain control of the
companys affairs, 1t was agreed to
place the stock in the hands of B. o.
Carr. Sherman's brother-in-law, to be
voted by him in the interest Of the
owners for a period Of ten years.
The complaint continues that, in No
vember, 1892. Sherman represented to
the bank that the road was in financial
distress, Notwithstanding that 100000
had been spent prior TO that time for
improvements. Sherman, 1t Is claimed.
represented that $150,0oO could be bor-
rowed from a person whom he did not
name. That person was to hold the
25,500 shares Of stock as security for
the loan. This was agreed to.
The bank now alleges that this trans
action was not undertaken by Sher-
man in good faith, but IN order to gain
personal control of the stock. which
was IN 1894 exchanged by Sherman for
other stock and bonds worth $500, 900.
The bank now claims half of this sum
on the ground that Sherman holds 1t as
trustee. Representatives. of the bank
regard this sum as the proceeds of the
half interest of the original block of
stock. Judgment for $275,o0o is asked
