Washington, Feb. Representative
Joseph Sibley of Pennsylvania, who
attained great prominence in the 54th
congress by his earnest championship
of free silver, assailed his democratic
colleagues today for their opposi-
ton 10 expansion in a speech that
made the floor and galleries roar. Mr..
Sibley has recanted his views on free
silver and is generally OF Of line with
his colleagues on the democratic side.
He insisted that expansion was the
oiginal democratic doctrine promul-
gated by Jefferson, adhered to by Mad.
ison, Jackson, Tyler, Polk and Bu-
chanan. In eloquent language he pic
tured the destiny of the United States
carrying the arts of peace and the
story Of the cross to the remotest cor
ners of the globe. Shall we hold
Porto Rico and the Philippine archi-
pelagO?" asked Mr.. Sibley. Every
foot No nation of the earth has q
higher right of the title to a rod Of
soil. We hold by the double title of
purchase and conquest My belief is
that where once the shadow of our
banner has fallen there will survive a
race of freshmen, and | would hold
Cuba until stability. order good gov
eminent and the protection of life
and property are assured" The Mic
aragua canal should be built, he said,
and the subsidy bill to encourage
American shipping passed, China was
to be dismembered. We must reach
out and get a share of its commerce.
When Mr.. Sibley concluded he received
such an ovation as has not been ac-
corded any speaker in the house this
session.

Washington, Feb. NEARLY the en-
tire morning hour in the senate was
occupied by Mr. Allen (pop.. Neb) in
a discussion of the report of Secretary
Gage concerning his transactions with
the National City bank Of New York
Senator Daniel (dem., Va then de-
livered an extended speech on the
pending financial measure. He vigor-
ously opposed the proposition that the
country should go to the gold standard.
After brief speech against the bill
by Mr.. Stewart New a bill was
passed to reimburse the state of Wy
oming for money expended in protect
ing the Yellowstone national park.
NJ. Ransdel of Indiana and Chas. B.
Bennett Of New York were sworn in
as ergeant-at-arms and secretary Of
the senate respectively.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator CAT
ferry of Louisiana, in the dis
cussion of the Philippine question
broke new ground in developing his
position as an anti-expansionist. In
response to questions as to what in the
present circumstances he would do
with the Filipinos, he said with char
acteristic courage of conviction: Turn
them loose as soon as we can get rid of
them. That would be better for them
and infinitely better for US" Senator
Caffery's argument was mainly dis
cussion Of constitutional questions.
He maintained that the constitution
extends absolutely over the Filipinos
and that they are entitled to all the
rights and privileges of citizens of the
United States guaranteed by the con-
stitution. The senate in executive SEES
sion ratified the Hague peace treaty
and also the extradition treaty with
the Argentine Republic.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Democrats of
the house continued their assaults up
III ltIS NH pIut DOIICS Vi the ADMIN
istratiOn during the general debate
upon the diplomatic consular appro-
priation bill. Two speeches were
made by democratic members Of
the foreign affairs committee, Mr..
Dinsmore Of Arkansas and Mr.. Clark
of Missouri, opposing retention of the
islands. The speech of Mr.. Clark.
which lasted almost two hours, was
notable effort replete with unique cpl
grams and attracted much attention.
No republican spoke in defense of the
administration policy. Mr.. Sibley Of
Pennsylvania, who was elected as a
democrat, was goaded into the an
nouncement that the democrats could
consider his seat constructiveIy on the
republican side. Before the debate
began an effort was made to pass the
bill looking to the appointment of an
expert commission to examine into
the question of the pollution of the
water supply Of cities but it was de-
feated. Chicago members considered
that it was aimed especially at the
drainage canal.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A spirited and
sensational debate was precipitated in
the senate by the presentation by Sen
ator Pettigrew Of South Dakota Of a
resolution which he desired to have
read and printed in the record con-
tanning the statement of Aguinaldo
concerning the conference between him
and Admiral Dewey and stating that
Dewey recognized the Filipino repub-
lie. Senator Hawley (rep., Conn., said
he would object to the reading as
reasonable. 1T is giving aid and
comfort to the enemy and that is what
the senator from South Dakota is do
ing all the time" said Mr.. Hawley
Senator Pettigrew asserted that the
departments are holding back infor-
nation. Senator Lodge (rep., Mass
objected to the Aguinaldo statement
because he said it was a mass of false
hoods. Mr.. Lodge also read a state
ment from Admiral Dewey denying
the statement of Aguinaldo, saying
that he never received him with mil
itary honors nor saluted the Filipino
flag nor promised the Filipinos indie
pendence in any way whatever. SEN
ator Spooner rep, Wis., thought it
about time to draw the line upon this
constant daily suit of Aguinaldo
against the United States. He said
no statement of man in arms against
the United States should be placed
upon the records of the senate.
Others also spoke. Under the latitude
allowed in the general debate upon an
bill the Indian appro-
priation bill in the house was made
the occasion for a discussion of
wide range of public questions. Our
policy IN the Philippines, the govern
ment Of Porto Rico, the leasing of our
arid lands and election methods in the |
south were br ught into the arena.

The Democratic cry of. imperialism
is a bugaboo. Such a policy could
never exist in the United States, and
the attempt to attribute it to Presi-
dent Mckinley is only one of that
party's campaign roorbaoks.
Brazil intends hereafter to pur-
chase in the United States all the
coal needed for her warships and
raili Dads. This will be some return
for the concession we have so long
granted Brazil of levying no duty on
the coffee we import from that coun-
try.
Europe affords the best market
for American farm products and
manufactures, buying from us al
most to the extent of billion dol
lars year Why not keep on terms
of friendship with our best custom
ers.
In the last thirty years the mum
Der of American vessels engaged in
foreign trade has decreased by A per
cent. During the same period the
number of American vessels engaged
in domestic and coast trade has in
creased by AZ per cent. The latter
are protec ed from competition OF
foreign vessels, while the former
are not.
Imports of manufactures of iron
and steel have decreased by SO per
cent during the last thirty years,
while our exports of American man
ufactures of iron and steel have in.
creased by 72per cent. Doesn t look
as though protection injured the ex-
port trade
With 100 per cent of increase in
the population of tile United States
during the last thirty years, there
has been an increase of only so per
cent in our total imports on foreign
goods. This shows how the Ameri-
can workman under protection is ac-
quiring the American market.
"Don't swap horses while cross
ing a stream" is the good advice
that James Gordon Bennett cables
from Paris. The New York Herald
is out strong for President McKin-
ley's reelection.
It was in 1895 that Senator Hoar
delivered a speech at Plymouth,
Mass, in which he said, speaking of
the tree planted by the first Ameri-
can settlers Its boughs hang over
the Pacific; and ia time--in good
time-it will send its roots beneat h
the waves and receive under its vast
canopy the islands of the sea. Why
isn't this the good time. Senator?
Farmers will find a reason for the
advance in bagging and binding
twine by studying the foreign prices
for Manila hemp and sisal IL both
of these fibers there has been an ad-
vance of 100 per cent in value in the
foreign market within two years.
Jute has also advanced over so per
cent within the same period.

'In the debate on this amendment tia
friends Of the Government took the
ground that, independent CT arms there
was every reason for hoping that the
troubles in America would be brought TO
q happy conclusion; that the great boun-
ties which the Congress offered TO sol
dierS was an irrefrag gable proof of the
difficulties which they experienced in en-
deavoTing TO recruit their forces; that
the hardship which the people actually
suffered at present under the despotism
of their tyrants, compared with that mild
and happy government which they had
withdrawn themselves from and under
which they had risen to such degree OF
power and greatness, had already nearly
brought them 70 a sense of their error
