WHITE AGAINST EXPANSION.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ga discussion
Of the policy Of expansion occupied nearly
all the time of the senate in open session
today. White, of California, one of the
democrats who has announced heretofore
his opposition to the ratification of the
treaty of peace, addressed the senate
in support Of the anti-expansion resolu-
ton introduced by Vest democrat of
Missouri, and another resolution intro
duced by Bacon democrat of Georgia.
declaring that the Philippines ought to be
free and independent,
White is a brilliant speaker and he was
complmented by his colleagues and the
large audience in the galleries with care
full attention. He did not enter into a
constitutional argument, but confined
himself to a discussion of expansion as a
policy of this government. He maintained
that such policy was contrary to the
fundamental principles of this country,
to its history and traditions. He declared
his opposition to ratification of the pend
ing treaty Of peace, but broadly init
mated that declaration Of definite
policy on the part of the administration
would very much simplify the situation,
and as a matter Of good faith not to be
antagonized by the advocates Of the
treatys ratification.

NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. 2.-While
nearly 100 persons were on the great ice
bridge in the gorge Of the Niagara river
the Ice mass was broken loose from tho
banks at either end. There were thou

and upon the upper arch enjoying the
beauty OF the crystalline structure. They
heard the cracking of the ice and saw the
great mass as It was moving by the swift
current Of the river and hundreds shouted
warning to those on the bridge.
Some of these venturesome persons had
only gone a short distance from the river
bank, while others were out in the CEN

river. Those near the end soon found
safety but further out toward the center
were a number OF small boys. Before

you feel like cutting 1t in two were it
not for the fact that there are two small

These are not so large as Madison

We have entered the house from the

we find hall. parlor or sitting room,

the sitting room being versatile. Or
perhaps the kitchen is as versatile. Or
perhaps the front chamber can be usel
as u drawing room and the parlor as i
dining room. You can have all sorts
OF fun In small house. and all the Joys
Of moving without expense.
There Is no plumbing In this little
house, but that would cost too much.

for plumbing. there Is little covered
porch or veranda into which the from

could not be ut home without piazza.
And as more than compensation for all
the plumbing In the world there Is n
bow window for the parlor. What Is
n parlor without bow window? The
bow window may look out on nothing
In particular, but it gives an air of
moral grandeur to the little house. The
sratiiled owner swears by that bow
window. He is conscious that 1t Is u

make the house u little cold in winter,
but what of that? Hasn't little house
as much right to be cold in the winter

dispensable in Il little house. Itmakes

brood of plumbers will not be missed.

Houses always cost more than the esti-
