CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Ma
son (rep., I'D arose soon after the
senate convened to a question of priv
ilege. He sharply attacked the British
government and the British vice-con-
sui at New Orleans because of an in
terview in which the vice-consul had
assaulted Mr.. Mason for the position he
had taken in behalf of the Transvaal
republic. Senator Mason attacked not
only the consul but the policy of Great
Britain in levying war upon an infe-
rior nation. Senator Hoar rep,
Mass thought the consuls remarks so
serious the matter ought to be in
vestigated by the government but at
the same time he deprecated the attack
upon Great Britain with which the
American people ought not only to live
in peace, but as devoted and loving
friends. Senator Lodge (rep., Mass. }
sharply arraigned the British consul
for his utterances against Senator Ma
son and believed they ought not to be
lightly passed. The matter was then
referred to the committee on foreign
relations. The resolution of Senator
Pettigrew tpop., S. d., declaring food
products not to be contraband of war,
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations. Senator Garter pre-
scented the conference report of the
census administration bill and it was
agreed to. The joint resolution grant
| ing permission for the erection in
10 I, I'M rfnf Of ami in
of Samuel Hahnemann was passed.
Senator Tillman (dem., S. c. deliv-
cred a forceful and characteristic
speech on the Philippine question in
which he maintained that this govern
ment ought to extend to the Filipinos
the right to govern themselves, the
United States guarding them against
the aggression of other nations. The
senate then passed 20 pension bills. In
executive session it was decided by
a vote of q to SO not to reconsider the
vote by which the Samoan treaty was
ratified and then removed the in
junction of secrecy from The vote.
Washington, Jan. 29.-rhe bill for
the reorganization and improvement
of the weather bureau which includes
and provides for pensioning disabled
employees of the service received a
black eye in the house. The bill was
bitterly fought by the opponents of the
civil pension rolls on account of the
life tenure provisions it contained and
was sidetracked on test vote of 81 to
70. Although the speaker ruled tn t
it remained unfinished business, the
opponents of the measure believe the
action of Monday kills it, The
early portion of the day was devoted
to a lively scrimmage over the Sulzer
resolution to investigate the actions of
Secretary 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 it's possession
There was no opposition to the pro-
posed action but Mr.. Richardson,

attacks upon Secretary Gage, who was

Washington, Jan. 30.-For more
than three hours Mr. Bacon (dem, Ga. }
occupied the attention of the senate
with a discussion of the Philippine
question. He maintained that the
United States owed as much to the
Filipinos as it does to the Cubans and
ought to give them liberty Sem
ator Spooner inquired on what
theory Bacon proposed that a declar-
alton by this congress could in any
way bind subsequent congress. Sem
ator Bacon responded that the same
declaration which the seth congress
made with reference to the Cubans
ought to be made with reference to the
Filipinos. Among the bills passed
was one granting Annie Brumby,
mother of Lieutenant Brumby, Dew
ey's flag lieutenant, $50 a month pen
sion. A solution was adopted
in the house calling upon the
secretary of war and secretary
of the navy as to the amount
of money expended, and the
amount for which the government is
liable, and remaining unpaid, for
equipments, transportation and sup
plies for naval operations in the Phil
ippine islands from May l, 1898, to
November 1. 1899.
