SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED
APPROVED BY THE SENATE AFTER TWO
HOURS DEBATE.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Senate to-day, IN
executive session. ratified the Samoan treaty
without division, after two hours Of debate. Sen
ators Davis, Foraker and Spooner advocated and
Senators Bacon, Money and Tillman opposed
ratification. Senator Bacon made the principal
speech in opposition, basing his objection on the
general ground that It was contrary to the spirit
Of American institutions to attempt to govern
any people in opposition to their wishes. He said
he was entirely willing that the United States
should acquire the island Of Tututla, with Pago-
Page Harbor. If that could be done in the
proper manner and without violating all Amer
lean principles in securing control of 1t.
Senator Money and Senator TiIlrnan spoke on
practically the same lines.
The friends Of the treaty asserted that this
country by the new arrangement retains all the
old advantages and avoids the complications
liable to grow out Of the tripartite agreement
They urged that the opportunity should not be
lost both to get out Of awkward predicament
and to control the harbor Of Pago Page.

NAVAL PACIFIC CABLE WINS.
THE PROJECT ADVOCATED BY SECRE-
TARY LONG AND REAR-ADMIRAL
BRADFORD.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUSE.l

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Senate Naval
Committee devoted over four hours to-day to
the consideration OF the Pacific cable projects
supported by the Navy and War departments
and by private enterprise. listening to advocates
Of each plan. No definite decision was an
nounced by the committee. which asked each OF
the representatives at the meeting to submit
detailed statements in writing regarding cost
and other matters. but 1t was clear that the
proposition Of Rear-Admiral Bradford for
cable built by the Navy, operated by the Post
Office Department and to remain always in the
absolute control of the Government would be
adopted.
Secretary Long. in opening the discussion. said
that the naval surveys which are the only
actual surveys ever made Of the route. left no
doubt Of the feasibility of a cable connecting
the Pacific Coast with Manila by way Of Homo
lulu and Guam, and impressed the committee
with his satisfaction that the Navy was best
qualified to undertake the matter.
Vice President Baylies OF the Pacific Gable
Company. of New-York. argued against Gov
eminent ownership Of a cable, declaring that
the Government could not do any work
cheaply private companies or individuals. 1t
was, however. shown that under the proposition
made by his company the Government would
pay as much subsidy in twenty years as 1t
would cost to build a cable and at the end OF
the time would own nothing and have to pay
for its messages. Mr.. Baylies spent most Of the
afternoon on the stand and was closely ques-
toned as to cost of construction. maintenance
and operation.
The War Department sent to the committee
written statement Of General Greely's plan for
a military cable which was not received with
much favor. All the experts present agreed that
a cable was necessary, that ii would have 70 De
bought abroad, and that il was essential to en-
pIoy British cable company to lay il. The opin-
ion was expressed that the line could be opened
within a year from the time authority was given
to make the required contracts.
Admiral Bradford, in giving the committee his
reasons for asking for 100000 for the cable.
said the distance surveyed by the Nero from
DingaIa Bay, Luzon to Guam, with CONNER
cial cable to Yokohama. and from Guam via
Midway Island to Hawaii. added TO the survey
from Hawaii to San Francisco. was 1924 knots.
He estimated the cost Of cable laid at $1,000
knot and he thought 20 per cent a fair allow
ance for detOurs and slack. In connection with
his statement Admiral Bradford said that he IN
derstood the average expenses of the War De-
partment for messages to Manila TO be about
81 900 day and that the total expenditure to
date Of the Navy Department had amounted to
S26 600.

Mr.. CAGES ACTS DISCUSSED
DEBATE ON THE URGENT DEFICIENCY
BILL TAKES A WIDE RANGE.

Washington. jan 16.-The Urgent Deficiency
Appropriation bill was taken up in the House
to-day, under agreement which limited the
general debate to to-day. It was the general
expectation that 1t would give rise to stormy
debate on the question of expansion in view OF
the large Army and Navy items it contains, but
the members early became engrossed in discus
sion of an item of $4,000 for rural free de-
livery, in which all are personally interested,
and the subject of expansion was barely allud-
ed to.
with attack by Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader. on the Secretary Of the Treasury for his
course in connection with the sale of the New
York Custom House. He rehearsed the charges
that Secretary Gage had been technically guilty
OF embezzlement in depositing the proceeds Of
the sale in a National bank which was Gov
eminent depository instead Of the Treasury OF
the United States but declared that this charge
would not hold. His purpose. he said, was to
show that the National City Bank had been
favored on account of the contributions Of its
directors to the Republican campaign fund Of
1896, and that the course Of the Secretary in
allowing the purchase money to remain in the
bank, while at the same time paying rent for
the property and keeping it exempt from taxa
tion was not dealing fairly with the trust funds
of the Government.
Mr.. Hopkins. of Illinois. defended the course
Of the Secretary declaring that his reply to the
House resolution answered every charge
brought against him. and displayed business
ability which must be approved by all fair
minded people. He insisted, also, that the title
to the Custom House passed TO the bank when
it purchased and took possession Of the prop
erty, and that it had not been exempt from tax
alton since it had been purchased
The debate caused little excitement, and there
was no attempt to renew the assault on the Sec
rotary after Mr.. Hopkins closed. The Urgent
Deficiency bill will be taken up for consideration
under the five minute rule tomorrow.
Mr.. Hopkins, from the Committee on the Cen
sus, made a favorable report on the Senate bill
extending the scope of the census and gave no.
tice that he would take it up a privileged
question after the Deficiency bill has been
passed. This brought a controversy on the
privileged character Of a census report, and
when the Speaker ruled it to be privileged, Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, appealed from the ruling OF
the Chair.
without finally determining the appeal. the
House at $50 o'clock adjourned.

resigned. Dr. Bedloes case has attracted great in
terest for more than year, particularly on &C
count OF his act IN issuing American register 70
the steamer Abby, that vessel being afterward
captured by Admiral Dewey the coast OF Luzon
and conhscated for conveying munitions OF war TO
Aguir aldo. An attempt was made by persons IN
China TO show that the Consul at Canton was i'm
prudent to say the east, in giving papers to the
owners Of the Abby. but these charges were eff
fectualy dsproved to the satisfaction OF the State
and Navy departments, and about a month ago
the Abby was returned TO her owners with clear
title.
The real cause OF Dr. Bedloe's resignation, which
in the opinion OF the State Department is entirely
creditable to him. was the dispeasure OF the high
er Chinese officials at Canton with certain acts OF
the American Consul. which did not involve his
personal integrity honesty but which neverthe-
less made it embarrassing TO the Chinese Govern
for DR.. BedlOe to continue his official resi-
dence there This friction, which grew out Of the
strict Chinese notions Of etiquette. was shown to
be wholly due TO misleading advice given TO the
Consul by his Interpreter, whom he had 10 de-
pend in such matters It Is the understanding that
DR.. Bedloe will not re-enter the consular service
