fNGLAND'S WAR POLICY
Attacked in the Senate by
Mason.
THE vIcE-coNsuL's CRITICISM
tion, Answering the Arguments OF
Beveridge-In the House.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Mason rose
today soon after the senate convened to
a question of privilege and sharply
attacked the British government and
the British vice-consul at New Orleans
because of an interview in which the
vice-consul had assailed Mason for the
position he had taken in behalf of the
Transvaal republic in its war with
Great Britain. Mason attacked not
only the consul, but the policy of Great
Britain in levying war upon an inferior
nation.
Hoar thought the consul's purported
remarks SO serious that it ought to be
investigated by the government. but at
the same time he deprecated any attack
upon Great Britain, with the people of
which the American people ought not
only live in peace, but as loving and
devoted friends. Lodge sharply ar
rainged the British consul for his utter
ances against United States senator,
and believed 1t ought not to be lightly
passed.
Tillman delivered q forceful and
quite characteristic speech on the
Philippine question, in which he main
tanned that this government ought to
extend to the Filipinos the right to
govern themselves, the United States
guarding them against the aggression
of other nations.

Received . Black Eye.

The bill for the reorganization and
Improvement of the weather bureau,
which includes provision for pensioning
disabled and aged employees Of the SER
vice, received q black eye in the house.
The bill was bitterly fought by the
opponents of civil penison rolls on ac-
count of the life tenure provisions it
contained, and it was sidetracked on q
test vote of 81 to So. Although the
speaker ruled that it remained unfin-
ished business when the house was
again in committee of the whole, the
opponents of the measure believe the
action of the day killed it.
The early portion of the day was de-
voted to lively scrimmage over the
Sulzer resolution to investigate Secre-
tary Gage, which the committee on
rules recommended should be sent to
the ways and means committee, as the
latter committee has the response of
the secretary in its possession. There
was no opposition to the proposed
action, but Richardson, of Tennessee,
and Sulzer, of New York, used it for
renewing their attacks upon the secre-
tary. Gage was defended by Hop
kins, of Illinois, Hill, of Connecticut,
and Dalzell. of Pennsylvania.
A bill to require pilots and officers Of
steam vessels to make oath to their ap.
plications for license was passed.
