Important developments regarding future
government shipments between Seattle and
the Philippines are expected as a result
or the approaching visit of Mai Bird. Of
the quartermaster generals office. Maj.
Bird is expected here during the next
week He was for more than a year in
charge OF the transport service OF the
quartermaster generals department both
on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Acting
under authority from the quartermastor
general he is to make a personal inspection
of the facilities offered by the city Of Seat
tie for the shipment Of troops, animals
and supplies from this coast to the Philip
pines and Alaska.
A disinierested inquiry into the merits
OF the various Pacific coast ports with ref
erence TO their facilities for handbag gov

states and the Philippines Is the very
thing which the business men OF Seattle
have long desired. More than one army
authority has recommended to the Depart
ment at Washington that a general supply
depot be established in Seattle. The lat
est authority is Gen. Randall, who stated
in an interview several days ago that he
had urged upon the war department the

furnished the department at Washington
showing that there is great need for the
establishment Of a quartermaster's supply
depot here in order to facilitate and
cheaper the shipment Of supplies III every
kind from this coast to the Philippines and
also to Alaska.
1t is because Maj. Bird win be fully en-
powered to inquire into these matters that
valuable results are expected from his
visit. Maj Bird has devoted much study
TO the transport service of the war Depart
mont, particularly on the Pacific ocean.
He has been for a long time master OF
marine transportation in the office OF the
Qpartermaster general. The purchase Of
steamships and the charter OF transports
between San Francisco and Seattle and
the Orient have been matters which he has
passed on entirely in the past. II is be-

People Are Trying to Pre-
serve Their Liberties.

(News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.]
Washington, Jan. 23.-In the senate
today, McEnery, of Louisiana, spoke
against Pritchard's resolution which
seeks to prevent the adoption of an
amendment to the North Carolina state
constitution regarding elections. Nc
Emery claimed that congress had no
right to deprive the state of their consti-
tutional rights. He said the race prob
lem was serious. Southern intelects
were trying to make the south prosper
Gus in spite of the large number of igno-
rant blacks, and place the ballot box
where it would be the sacred depository
of the peoples liberty instead of char
nel-house where, under negro domina-
ton, they were assassinated.
Pettigrew introduced resolution
calling upon the president to furnish all
reports relative to the treaty made by
General Bates with the sultan of Sulu.
The resolution also asks why the sal
aries of the sultan's retainers are paid
out of the u. S. treasury. The senate
unanimously adopted Aliens resolution
calling upon Secretary Gage for infor-
nation regarding treasury matters.
Turner finished his speech on the Phil
ippine resolution. He said the Philip

the time their independence was recog-
nized. All peoples should have liberty
and it was the duty of the president to
