UP TO TIE TIMES.

That there has been a big improve
mcnt in the running of the mails in this
city no one will deny. Postmaster Bur
roughs deserves much credit for the
improvement. There are Ave mails
daily North now. The last mail for
Baltimore leaves this city at s D. IN.
and arrives there in time for the first
distribution in the morning. In Norfoll,
the last mail is $50 and does not get
there any earlier than our mail does.
This shows that Portsmouth is up-to-
date.

LEGISLATION In
WASHINGTON.
Continued from Page i.

as senator from California for the term
OF six years, beginning March 4, 1899,
were presented and fled
a resolution was adopted authorizing
the printing of a special edition of 5000
copies OF the year book of the Depart
i,ient OF Agriculture for distribution at
the Paris Exposition.
OUR PHILIPPINE POLICY
Mr.. Kenny, whose former colleague.
ex-senator Gray, was a member of the
Peace Commission, then spoke. He
said:
Il am one of those Senators who
voted for the ratificat ton of the treaty
of Paris. believing that ratification
meant the end OF the war we had com
menced for humanity's sake, and that
The S20,000,000 awarded Spain was the
act not only of a. magnanimous victor,
put as well a tribute placed on lib
erty's altar by a people who know
the value of freedom. Are there any
VINO know the history of the last two
years who will contend that if at the
time the vote on the treaty was taken
It mad been stated on the floor of this
senate that war In the Philippines was
70 go on. and that the millions award
ed TO Spain was the purchase price for
people to be held in perpetual vas
salage. that instrument would have
been ratified? I do not think there are
any such.
II do know. Mr.. President, that of
t me lnnuence which moved members of
this Senate to vote for the treaty the
most powerful were the desire to end
the war and commence the work of
liberty and freedom In those far ISL
ands.
UNJUST AND UBIQUITOUS.
L believe that there are Senators
to-day who are supporting the policy
OF the administration who at the time
the vote on the peace treaty never
dreamed that now they would be adj
vocating territorial and foreign politics
Tor this government which are strange
to Its institutions and traditions as
they are unjust and Ubiquitous But
under the lash and spur Of party policy
and expediency they have wheeled into
line and now stand ready not merely
as passive agents, but as workers. to
consummate that which must have
been the hidden purpose of persons
who dared not that the light of public
discussion should shine on their nefa-
rious schemes.
The reason for the war with the
Philippines and the imperialistic policy
or the Republican administration must
be sought for outside of the treaty of
Paris. for In 1t there will be found au-
thority for neither.
Among these causes is the greed of
those of our countrymen who set self
above honor and country; who. for
their own selfish ends, are willing to re-
establish slavery within the domain of
this country and withhold the consti-
tuition from a part of the people The
horrors of war are to them but n
means to accomplish their sordid ends.
THAT the Islands are territory of the
United States and the inhabitants
thereof citizens of this government
there can be no doubt Whether they
came to us by conquest of arms or by
treaty with Spain there can be no diff
ference. That title and possession has
passed to us is beyond dispute. and
with title and possession to us the con-
StitutiOn has gone 10 them

BUT ONE COURSE LEFT.

I'VE have, in honor, left us but one
course-to give the islands back into
the hands of their own people, and in
doing this we must be satisfied that
there is in them and their leader, Ag-
iunaldo. fitness and ability for self-gov-
ernment."
Mr.. Kenny said the proofs were over.
whelming of that Fitness and ability
and presented an elaborate argument
in support of his contention He ar
gued that In view OF the facts the ISL
ands should not be retained for any
reasons. Let it not be said of the
American people that they who first
wrested freedom from a crown and
proved to the world that a people coul6
govern themselves, in the zenith OF
their greatness. flushed with victory
forget what victory meant.

agreed to-
~ long discussion enSued over n pro-
posed amendment to extend to Hawaii
the inhibition against contract labor
importation, which exists in the United
states. All Senators were anxious to
SO frame the law as to eliminate abso-
lutcly contract labor in Hawaii. To
this end the section of the bill relating
to contracts was amended finally by the
addition of the following paragraph
framed by Mr.. Hoar and perfected by
Mr.. Spooner:
Provided that no proceeding shall be
maintained for the specific performance
OF any contract heretofore or hereafter
entered into for personal labor or SER
vice. and there shall be no criminal
proceedings for the branch thereof"
Mr. Spooncr offered an amendment
striking out the section providing that
the Supreme Court of the Territory
should be the judge of the election OF
members of the Hawaiian Legislature
and comforting upon each branch of the
legislature the power to determine the
qualifications of its members, and aft

ConI-siiners Strike.

Philadelphia, Sept. l6.-The much
talked-of strike of the anthracite mine
workers in the coal regions of Pennsylva-
MIA under the auspices of the United
Mine-Workers of America, and which af-
fects about 10000 union and non-union
workers, has practically begun, and reports
received from various sections indicate that
Monday, when the strike officially begins,
according to the strike order issued by
President Mitchell, of the mine workers
union, very few of the collieries will be
in operation.
Just how many men will obey the strike
order can only be conjectured. The union
officials steadfastly assert that all the
union men will remain away from work
and viii be further strengthened by a
large majority of the non1union men. The
operators, on the other hand, are con
fident that the proportion of the striking
miners has been greatly exaggerated.
Monday morning alone can tell which is
correct.

Philadelphia, Sept. l6.-Should the
anthracite coal miners strike be of pro-
longed duration it is possible that foreign
countries will feel its effects as seriously
as they will be felt in this country, if not
to a greater degree. The National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers is almost daily
receiving inquiries from abroad which in
dictate how urgent is the demand in Eu-
rope for American coal. The letters are
from coal merchants who want this coun-
ery's fuel to supply their regular trade
and from business men who see in the
scarcity of coal on the continent an op-
pcrtunity to engage in a profitable bust
ness. The National Association of Man
ufacturers sends all communications of
the kind to mine operators and shippers.

States at Frankfort, Germany, writes as
follows to the National Association of
Manufacturers.

fill more than about 60 per cent of the or
