Abstract Of the Important Proceed
ingS.

After the vote on the peace treaty on
Feb. the Senate, in open session, took
up the McEnery resolution, which reads:
kResoIved, That by the ratification of the
pending treaty of peace with Spain it rs
not intended to incorporate the lnhabl
tants of said islands into citizenship OF
the United States, nor is it intended to
permanently annex said islands as an
integral part of the territory OF the United
States. But it is the intention U the
United States to establish on said ISLANDS
a Government suitable to the wants and
conditions of the inhabitants OF said
islands, to prepare them for local seii-
government, and in due time to make
such disposition of said islands as will
best promote the interests of the citizens
of the United States and the Inha aoltahts
of said islands.
After some debate Mr.. Aldrich gave
notice that he should press the McEnery
resolution to a final vote the next day.

friends of the treaty as acceptable to them

A preliminary Investigation made by a

referred to, and 1t is stated that in the fol-

circulated a schedule of inquiries. In 1896
the committee employed an agent for one
month to make house to house canvass
and the WOmans Anthropologcal Society
was asked to cooperate, which was done
under authority of the society's executive
board.
