PEACE TREATY PLEAS.
Mr.. Chiffon Opposed and Mr.. VOL
colt Favored Ratification.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-This was anoth-
er day of expansion oratory in the senate.
In the opening session the speakers were
Mr.. Chiffon, of Texas, and Mr.. Wolcott. of
Colorado. Mr.. Chiffon made a constitutional
argument in support of the Vest resolution,
his principal objection to the annexation of
the Philippines being that it would admit
to this country both the Filipinos and their
products to come in competition with our
proposed solution of the pending problem
was the establishment Of a republic in the
Philippines over which the United States
would exercise such care as it gives the
republic of Liberia.
Mr.. Wolcott made an eloquent-almost i'm
FASHIONED appeal to the senate for the rati-
fication of the peace treaty. His tribute to
the administration for the successful conduct
of the war and to the peace commissioners
for their successful efforts in behalf of their
country was the feature of his speech. At
the conclusion of his brief address he was
accorded the compliment of hearty applause.

In asking for bids the United States bat
tleships Nos. TO- II and IL, the navy depart
ment issued plans calling for vessels of the
Alabama class-iye of which are now under
way-believing them to be the most efficient
type yet planned The battleships of the
Alabama class to be 16-knot vessels, but
in the case of the new craft they will be able
to steam IS knots, or 2OA miles, per hour.
Three of our important shipbuilding COM

tails and the result very pleasing to the

BIG SCANDAL BREWING.
The Paris Exposition Commission
Pay Roll UnduIy Large.

WASHINGTON, Feb. At is likely that a
big scandal will be developed in connection
with the management of affairs of the Amer
lean commission to the Paris exposition.
There has been appropriated up to date
$780, 600 for the American exhibit. Commits
sioner General Peck has asked for a million
and a half more, and the committee on APP
propriations Of the house while preparing the
deficiency bill has caused very thorough
investigation to be made into the manner in
which the money has been expended. 1t is
found that Commissioner Pecks salary roll
has reached the enormous sum of $104, 900 per
annum. He seems to have filled the commit
tee up with list of useless employees at good,
fat salaries. One of these places is designated
as appointment clerk of the commission, and
the gentleman fortunate enough to hold that
place, who, of course, comes from Chicago,
draws a salary of $4,000 a year, which is
twice as much the salaries paid to appoint
ment clerks in the executive departments
here. In addition to this he is allowed an
expense account of IS per diem.
