POLICY OF CANCELLATION.


Washington, Feb. ga senator who
was at the white house yesterday is
authority for the statement that the
president is willing it should be an.
nounced that the intention is to estab-
lish protectorate, and not to develop
. colonial policy in the Philippines
He said that the present policy con.
templated the encouragement OF self.
government in the Philippines along
the same lines being pursued in Cuba
Heeven went SO far as to say the hope
might be held out to the Filipinos that
they could have independence as soon
as fitted for 1t, by granting the United
States a coaling station. commercial
advantages and the repayment OF the
$40, 600, 900 given to Spain. How far
this senator was authorized to speak
cannot be stated but 1t is certain that
the administration entered no protest
when informed OF the McEnery reso-
luton and the purpose OF the republic.
ans to vote for it after the treaty was
ratified.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. S-A new can
didate for United States senator was
introduced in the race yesterday. He
is Hugh b. Fastbourn, an anti.Quay
leader in Bucks county, and was voted
for by four anti-Quay republicans
Mr. Fasthourn was delegate to the
last national republican convention
and was one of the few members OF
the Pennsylvania delegation which
voted for President Mckinley. The
ballot showed Mr.. Quay still IA votes
short.
A conference of several prominent
state democrats was held here to dis.
cuss the senatorial situation. While
no definite plan of action was decided
upon, it is probable that proposition
will be made to the anti-Quay republic
ans to vote for one or four or five
democrats whose names shall be sub
mitted to that organization. If the
anti.Quay republicans should refuse,
the democratic legislators may with
draw from the contest and leave the
republicans to fghtit out among them
selves.

The INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL


Washington. Feb 8-For two hours
or more. the senate yesterday had the
resolution declarstory Of a policy OF
this government in the Philippines
under discussion, but no vote was
reached and the resolution went finally
to the calendar In accordance with
notice given Monday, Senator TIL.
man addressed the senate upon the
McEnery resolut ton, making char.
acteristic and picturesque argument
lie maintained that clear, explicit
and direct resolution ought to be
adopted, and not one that was mean
ingless and inconsequential. He pre-.
dicted that dire results would follow
the ratification of the treaty unless
the United States government treated
the Flipinos with absolute fairness
and gave them self-government.
Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts,,
followed with a strong reply to Sem
ator Tillman. in which he stated clear.
~ and directly the conditions as they
confront the United States in the
Philippines.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then proceeded with. When the com.
mittee amendment to that part Of the
bill proyiding funds for Indian schools
was reached Senator Gallinger, Of New
Hampshire, objected to the committee
amendment providing for contract
schools. He was opposed to appro.
priating public money for sectarian
schools. He regarded it as a very per-
nicious practice. In answer to ques.
ton, Senator Allison, in charge Of the
bill, said he thought this would be the
last appropriation for sectarian
schools.
Senator Pettigrew objected to this,
and declared his intention Of insisting
upon these appropriations in the
future as in the past He said the
senate ought not to act on this ques-
ton through prejudice or through re.
ligious zeal.
The committee amendment was
agreed to- The bill then went over
until to-day. The senate then, at $50
o'clock, on motion of Senator German,
went into executive session, and after
ward adjourned.

larging Of the public building at To.
peka, and appropriating $4,000 for

ing for public building at Kansas
City, Kan. No amendment was offered
to the Topeka bill. In the case Of the
Kansas City bill, Mr.. Mercer, chair.
man of the committee, offered an
amendment increasing the cost OF the
building from SIS, 900 to $3.50, OOO The
original Peters bill appropriated $3.50.
)OO This was cut down by the public
buildings and grounds committee to
WIS, 900 and then doubled in the house
as stated, Mr.. Peters making short
of the Importance of the
business Of Kansas City to the house.
Other bills passed providing for
building at Creston, Ia, and the pur-
chase Of sites at Hastings and Norfolk,
