Hoar interrupted to say that he made
no distinction in the two cases He took
the broad ground that we were not
justified in attempting to govern any
people without their consent
Resuming, Spooner said that there
was no way out of it; that if at the
end of war an indemnity Is to be
TAKEN it must be taken without the
consent of the people.
In conclusion, Spooner said that the
ratification of the treaty and the ac-
ceptance by this country of the cession
from Spain was not a declaration OF
principles. He declared that the Ba-
con resolution and all other pending
resolutions on this subject were rich
with mischief, and ought not to be
adopted. 1t was the business of Con-
gress to legislate, and to follow the
lines marked out by the Constitution
and the will of the people.

Does not Aguinaldo hold in peace and
in order more than fifty times as much
territory in the Philippines as the Unit
ed States?"
Tillman replied that Aguinaldo held
all of the Philippines except small
portion of the island of Luzon around
Manila
In conclusion, Tillman said that the
ratification Of the treaty could only In
ject into this country another race
question, which would certainly breed
war and bloodshed.

BY The Largest Majority Any Measure .
the Kind Has Ever Received.
One Hundred and Sixty Votes Cast
in Favor Of the Bill, and Only
Seven Against-Every Effort to
Amend Important Features Fail
Carries Slightly Over Thirty
Million Dollars in Appropriate
tons.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The river
and harbor bill, carrying slightly mora
than $3O,O0O,O00, passed the House to-
day by a vote of 100 to Z. This is the
largest majority any river and harbor
bill has ever obtained in the House. ThA
bill attracted little opposition, and
every effort to amend in important
particulars failed.
Some routine business was transacted
by the House to-day before the consid-
Grafton of the river and harbor bill
was resumed
A bill was passed to pay the heirs OF
John Smith 81 1000 in satisfaction of az
judgment against General John RI
Brooke for trespass and false inprison..
ment while he was Lieutenant Colonel
of the Third Infantry in 1869.
A bill was passed to extend the Acr
granting a right of way through the
Indian Territory to the ST. Louis, Okla
homa and Southern Railroad
The House then resumed considera ton
of the river and harbor bill.
An amendment was adopted, UPON
motion of Moon CD of Tennessee, 7i-
recting an examination by the War
Department of the Tennessee River
between Chattanooga and Shelmounds
with view to the construction of locks
and dams and an estimate of the &C ST
Of the canal, at Moccasin Bend.
Hepburn R.) of Iowa at this point
injected some criticism of the gener al
policy of improving rivers with ins g.
nificant commerce, and directed his re-
marks particularly at the Improvement
of the Muskimum River, in Ohio. TIL at
improvement, he said, was accept I'd
from the State of Ohio as a charitable
gift twelve years ago. Since then S1.-
100000 had been spent by the Governs
ment, but the commerce had fallen to
almost nothing.
Grosvenor admitted that if he hstd
known twelve years ago the charact en-
of the Improvement he might not ha'Te
been as Jealous about having it acceI t.
ed as he had been.
An amendment offered by Perkins (Rs.(
of Iowa, to appropriate $2O0,OOO for
continuing the improvements on tine
upper Missouri River at Elk Point md

johnson (R-) of North Dakota, Maxw ell
Pop.) of Nebraska and Kelly Pop) OF

Upon the completion of the reading OF
the bill, the committee rose.
Maxwell demanded the ayes and lays
upon the passage of the bill, but only
secured two supporters for his demarld-
On rising vote the bill was passed
LEO to Z.
A resolution was adopted setting aside
Saturday, February 18th, for paying
tribute to the late Representative Ding-

A bill was passed to permit the s,x-

COLUMBUS FIRE.
No Lives Were Lost, but Several
Persons Were Injured.

COLUMBUS (O.), Feb. 2.-The extent
of last nights fire could not be realized
until daylight, and then, while the loss
was severe enough, it was thought to-
fall slightly behind the figures which
had been made up last night. The
number of injured has diminished since
first reports, especially the number Sc
riously hurt. All the missing persons
have been accounted for There have
been no lives lost so far as known.
A list of the injured and the nature Of
the injuries follows: Fireman John F.
Donahue, leg crushed by falling debris;
Fireman Jack Welsh, badly bruised,
taken to hospital; Fireman Otis Kill
burn, bruised by falling debris; Fire
man Patrick Duncan, arm hurt; Fire
man Bob Keyes, knocked from ladder
and painfully bruised; Miss Carrie
Johnson, badly injured by being run
over by a runaway fire truck.
The exact estimate of the loss is diff
ficult to obtain, but the following fig
ures are generally accepted as being
correct:
Green, Joiner & Co., wholesale dry
goods, loss on building, $4,000; on
stock, S3O0,OOO The firm refused to
give out any information ON the loss.
but these figures are probably correct
Insurance 100000.
Chicago Bankrupt Clothing Company,
loss, $20, 600. The matter of insurance
is in doubt. There was $4,000 on the
stock, but it was Cancelled by one
agency some time ago, and it is not
known whether it was renewed.
d. S. Ambach & Co., wholesale cloth
iers, loss, $50, 900, covered by insurance.
A. j. McCauley, milliners, loss $4,000
to $4,000, partially insured
Dunlap building, where the fire start
ed. and occupied by the Chicago Bank
rupt Clothing Company, loss, $4,000;
insurance, $50, 600.
Jones building, loss about $4,000.
Bright building, total loss, $50, OOO
