Washington. February t6.--Considera-
ticn OF the financial measure having beon
concluded, the consideration of the Philip-
pine question was resumed in the senate
today. Mr. McEnery strongly opposed the

The BIZ providing a form of government
FOR the Territory Ct Hawaii was read but
beyond that formality nothing was done
wi h It.

pines was laid before the senate and Mr.
