The political status Of our islanc

The political status Of our island
possessions is going to give rise to some
lively debates in congress. The major,
ity republican report Of the ways and
means committee says they have no
constitutional rights whatever and con
gress can do just as it pleases with the
people and property Of these islands-a
very dangerous aud imperialistic doc
trine. The democratic members of this
committee deny this position of the
majority throughout and claim that
these territories or new possessions are
part of the United States and should
have the same rights az American ci,i-
zens. Mccall, a dissenting republican
on the committee makes a minority re-
port of his own in which he argues very
strongly against the position OF the
majority and after quoting numerous
authorities and legal decisions, sums
up as follows:
Il an unable to lind any support in
judicial decisions for the doctrine that
the inhabitants OF territories haye no
constitutional rights. but exist only by
the will of congress. On the other hand.
it has been repeatedly held by our su-
preme court that congress is bound by
restrictions of the constitution in dealing
with territories.
Il recognize our full duty to do our
utmost to secure the welfare and hap
piness ;of the people of our new pos
sessions. But I regard it as q most III
auspcious omen that our first Legislative
at should be framed on the theory that
freedom does rot follow the flag. Is it
not clear at the outset you are paving
the way for a more hideous extortion
and robbery than aver disgraced India"

KISSED THE CHAIR.

rumultuous Scenes in the House Recall
the Days Of Speaker Reed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-There was a
scene at the night session Of the house
which m~omentarily recalled the stirring
aud exciting days Of the Ffty.frst con.
gresA. An irate member rushed down
the main aisle brandishing his arms
and shouting for recognition, while half
the Democratic members were on their
feet execrating the occupant of the chair
for what they termed his arbitrary
course and from several places in the
hall came loud Kisses. Last Friday
night MI. Talbert (Dem., S. c. blocked
private pension legislation because there
was no quorum present and threatened
to continue to do SO at every subsequent
Friday night session unless a quorum
were present. His warning had its eff
feet. There was an unusually large at
| tendance when the house was called to
order. Speaker Henderson himself was
in the chair and the galleries, usually
empty at night sessions, were crowded
In Anticipation of q Lively Time.
Mr.. Talbert made good his threat as

engrossment, third reading and final
passage and addressed the chair. He
was completely ignored. A second and
third bill was passed in the same way
with Mr.. Talbert still clamoring for
recognition. BY this time the whole
Democratic side was aroused. A dozen
members were ON their feet. Mr.. Tai
bert, thoroughly angered, started down
the main aisle shouting, "Mr. Chair.

preached. He reached the area in front
of the speakers rostrum, all the while

Of the chairman's arbitrary course, be-
fore the chairman condescended to rec
ognize him. Democrats all about were
also shouting their disapproval. The
Republicans seemed to be enjoying the
storm which the chairman's course had
raised. Mr.. Talbert rapidly cooled down
after he had been recognized and ex-
planned in a brief speech hat the pres
nee Of a quorum had completely vindi-
Gated his position. He had no feeling
against the men who served on the Fed
eral side in the Civil war, but he was
opposed to loose. reckless, unconstitu.
tional methods. He suggested that the
house set aside a day each month fol
pension legislation and discontinue
night sessions.
The committee then proceeded with
the consideration of pension bills and 81
were favorably acted upon.

BY vote of 81 TO II the Senate Thurs
day adopted the Davis amendment to the
ay-Pauncefote treaty. and 50 decisive
was the vote, Il Washington correspon
dent asserts, that in all probability the
treaty is beaten. III the United States
builds the Nicaraguan canal it will be an
American canal, and foreign consent will
not be asked as to its control or the
means adopted for its defense.
The Senate took the first step Thurs
day afternoon when it adopted the so-call-
ed Davis amendment. reservinS TO the
United States the right to use the cana.
at any time to protect itself. But this
is only the first step. Other amendments
are pretty sure to be adopted. When
the Senate gets through with the treaty
it will be Il document more closely ap-
proximating an American treaty. Eight
or ten more amendments We're formally
offered in the secret session Thursday af-
ternoon. In short. the Senate is deter
mined 10 revise the treaty in an American
spirit. to make it a compact which Will
suit America, but will not suit Great
Britain, and thus throw upon the latter
country the responsibility for its rejec-
ton.
If Great Britain refuses to accept the
amended treaty the Senate and the House
of Representatives will, it is claimed, al
most instantly and by a large majority
pass resolution directly and formally
abrogating the old Clayton-Bulwer con-
vention. And that will be the end Of 1t
and the United States may go ahead and
build the canal under any rules that it
may see fit to adopt.

prisonment. Miss Hammelrs assailant
was for long unsuspected, but finally
,suspician pointed towards Mrs. Emma
Van Liew, the wife of banker and a
supposedly close friend of the victim.
She was arrested and held for trial. The
case was brought to sudden and unex-
pected close by plea of guilty to man
slaughter by Mrs. Van Liew.
The confession caused a great sensa-
ton in the village. Before and during
the trial, public opinion was divided as
to the woman's guilt. While the confes-
sion removes all doubts as to her guilt,
many there are who claim sheNwas not
responsible for her actions at the time Of
the assault, being rendered temporarily
insane by village talk concerning her
daughter. The daughter was an actress,
whose conduct called forth criticism from
many living in Van Vert, among them
Miss Hammell, and as result the moth
er was much distressed. To get revenge
upon Miss Hammell for the part she took
in the talk, it is believed Mrs. Van Liew
made the assault. Mrs. Van Lew has
entered upon her term of Imprisonment
and is known in the State prison at Co
lumbus as No. 32,916.

SPIRITS REVEAL LOST MINE.
Utah Man Obeys Occult Power AMI Diseov-
ers Ancient WORKINGS.


News of the discovery under queer cir
cumstances of an old Spanish mine work
ings in the Blue mountains in San Juan
County, Utah. has been received. A. j..
Strouss, the locator, says that for some
years he has been believer in spiritual
ism. BY direction of n mysterious oc-
cult force his daughter wrote on slate
that he was to go to the Blue mountains.
where he would find an old Spanish mine.
\ minute description OF the locality was
given. The information was also volun-
teered that it would make Strouss
wealthy. Mr.. Strouss following the route
described. came TO Il point about six miles
from Monticello, on the south slope OF
the Blue mountains. He found the place
Indicated and began to dig. Soon he un-
covered what was the mouth of an old
tunnel working that had been carefully
covered over. Removing large nat
stone. he found the opening, with ev-
erything as the spirits description gave
it. 1t is matter of old Spanish Amerr
can history, records of which have been
found among the archives of Mexico,
that rich mine known as the Josephine
mine had been worked by the Spanish.
From the records. which were rather OBJ
scure. it was thought to have been in the
Blue. Elk, La Sale or Henry mountains,
IN southwestern Utah, and many pros
pectors have searched for it.
