PULLING BACK ON THE TRACES.
Populist Senators Don't Want Expan-
sion and So Vote.

Representative Hoag's expansion res
o1utions which passed the house Thurs
day were killed in the senate yesterday
afternoon. The first senator to declare
opposition to the adoption of the resolu-
lions was Senator Farrelly. He said it
was unwise for the senate to go on
record as favOring them, because of a
lack of knowledge on the part of the
KanSanS concerning this subject. Mr..
Farrelly is a Democrat, and urged that
the war was not for conquest, but for
the relief of suffering Cubans, and that
the United States should not retain the
Philippines.
Senator Andrews CRep.) said the is
lands were an unexpected legacy of the
war and should be governed by the
United States. He denounced the bar
barOuS methods of Spain in dealing with
the people on her foreign possessions,
1.-The people of which were regarded as
slaves from whom could be wrung
tribute for the support of the home
government
Senator Jumper also opposed the reso-
Iut1onS and declared that the people IN
the new possessions are entirely able to
govern themselves, independently of the
United States.
Senator Titus opposed the resolutions
and said the people of the Philippines
would not thank the United States for
assuming control of the government of
the islands.
DRY and policy of expansion and imper-
ialism is wrong, and will, if adopted and
carried into effect, prove the greatest
hindrance to the progress of govern
ment of which we are now so proud
Senator Campbell Pop.) said: ct
hope to live to see the day when the
stars and stripes will float over Canada,
over Central America and over Mexico,
and when the United States shall have
a greater navy than any other country
in the world
Mr.. Campbell explained that he had
no information or data to inform him.
self upon the necessities of the new pos
sessions but thought the question
should be left to the inhabitants thereof,
and for this reason opposed the adop-
ton of the resolutions.
Senator Ryan moved that the resolu-
tions be referred to the committee on
state affairs, then Senator Lupfer at
tempted to shut off debate by demand
ing the previous question. This motion
was lost, whereupon Mr.. Ryan with
drew his motion, and the question of
adoption was before the senate Mr..
Lamb (Rep.) took the floor, and ar
raigned the Populists for opposing ex-
pansion. You have,' he said, 'been
opposing the progress of this govern
ment since you were organized as a
party, and are now here suggesting the
rejection of the peace treaty, even
though such action may involve US in
further complications and more war;

It seems likely that the Wheat1ey bill
to prevent the carrying of deadly wea-
pons may become a law, and if it does
it will go hard with any one, other than
an officer, who is found with revolver,
dirk, or anything of the kind on his
person. The bill was recommended for
passage by the house committee of the
whole yesterday afternoon after an AMI
mated debate.
There was little dissension over the
question of passing a law of some sort
concerning the carrying of firearms,
but the debate was over ats wording
and what penalty should be attached
to it,
Mr. wheatley, the author of the bill.
comes from the southeastern part of
the state, where it is customary for deS-
peradoes to come over from the Indian
Territory, armed with all sorts of Wea-
pons, and many shooting scrapes are
the result. He said when these same
men go over into Missouri they leave
their weapons on this side of the state
line, because Missouri has an anti
weapon law.
The question was how to word the
law so as to except hunters. AS 1t
finally passed it prohibits the carrying
of any weapon concealed, or carrying IL
in plain view with unlawful intent. This,
it was argued, would shut out every
thing but carrying shotguns and rifles
nunClnS-
Another question was the penalty that
should be affixed. Mr.. Wheatley placed
the minimum fine at $50, but Grosser of
Dickinson moved to make it IS.
MANY farmers boy" he said,
towns a revolver, and he should not be
fined $50 just for carrying it around
with him. Besides, many laws are
made imperative because the penalty is
too severe. If this is made too much
nobody will be arrested for carrying
weapons simply because the punish
ment will be out of proportion to the
offense."
child, ARE the ones who ought to be
stopped from carrying revolvers. If they
didn't have them there would not be
near so many accidental shootings. If
there is a heavy fine attached to this
law people will be very careful about
taking the chances, while if it is only
light they will run the risk of getting
caught and there will be just as many
revolvers carried as ever"
A compromise was at length effected
on a minimum fine of $25, and if the bill
passes it will cost at least this amount
to be caught with a, revolver on ones
person.

TOO MUCH GRAND JURY.
A Bill Requiring Every County to

episode causing the killing of Mexican
officer by guards for assisting In the
liberation of Franco" an American
cowboy arrested at the time Of the kill
ing Of Clayton. The day after the kill
ing of the guards by the American cow
boys Mexican officers in command
pressed into service all the available
Mexicans in Naco as guards. Among
these was Jerrado Acedo born Of Mex
lean parents, but in Tucson, Ariz.,
thereby making him an American. He
protested, but was made to do guard
duty at the Jail in which Franco was
confined. Acedo, being a brother-in-la law
of Franco" early yesterday liberated
the prisoner and the two escaped to
this place. A Mexican officer who was
on guard with Acedo and was asleep
when the escape was made was shot
to death by Mexican guards as he tried
to escape while being taken to court for
trial on charge of negligence. Ramsey
has been released by the authorities.
Telephone messages from Naco say
things look serious there. Troop F. 9th
cavalry, colored, is patrolling the line
this side, while Mexican guards are on
the other.
