CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March Mot probably
in the history of the senate was there
ever shown so little real interest in the
final vote on a great measure as was
manifested today in the vote on the
conference report on the financial bill.
The report was before the senate near
ly two weeks, yet only four speeches
were delivered upon it, including Sem
ator Aldrich's explanation of the
changes made in the senate bill by the
conferees. To-day the discussion ceased
on the bill fifteen minutes before the
time fixed for the vote. The senate
actually began the consideration of
minor bills on the calendar co consume
time The conference report was
agreed to and the bill passed by vote
of "A to 26, the report thus having a
majority of IS. The vote was:

Early in the session the discussion Of
the Quay case was resumed by Senator
Simon (rep., Ore.) who replied to the
speech made by Senator Carter (rep.,
MOnt.). Senator Carter replied to ST.
mons statement and had read a letter
discussing the situation, from George
| c. BroWnell, chairman of the joint as
sembly Of Oregon. He followed this
letter with an assertion that Mr.. Cor
1SI| 1iAu I41C SONCIuUI VI Tie SIdJG were
IN combination not only to defeat
Mitchell, but to elect Corbett. In re-
Iply Senator Simon said he was induced
to believe Mr. Carter's statements
were somewhat warped and exagger-
Iated by the peculiar atmosphere Of
Montana politics, in which, if what
had been heard about the capitol dur
ing the past few weeks appropriated
the truth, it was the general practice
to use money in big sums. The senate
then passed the joint resolution au-
thorizing the president to invite the
government Of Great Britain to join in
the formation of an International COM
mission to examine and to report upon
the division of waters that are bound
aries Of the two countries.

Washington, March THE senate
seldom accords any of its members a
greater compliment than it gave

an unusually large number of audi
dltors. The speech was based on the
Dill introduced by Senator Spooner
Vesting in the president authority to
govern the Philippines until congress
should otherwise provide by Iegisla-
ton and Was a strong advocacy
OF that measure. In part he said:
Il hope and believe that We shall
retain the islands, and that, peace and
order once restored, we shall and
should re-establish civil government,
beginning with the towns and villages,
where the inhabitants are able to
manage their own affairs. We should
give them honest administration and
prompt and efficient courts. We
should see to it that there is entire
protection to persons and property.
IN order to encourage the develop
ment OF the islands by the assurance
Of safety to investors Of capital. All
men should be protected in the free
exercise OF their religion, and the
doors thrown open to missionaries of
all Christian sects. The land, which
belongs to the people, and of which
they have been robbed in the past,
should be returned to them and their
titles made secure. We should inau-
gurate and carry forward, in the most
earnest and liberal way, compre-
hensive system of popular education.
Finally, While we bring prosperity

completion, but it is thoroughly prac-
ticable and reasonable" Senator
Proctor rep. VT read letter
from Colonel l.. W V. Kennon. in
command of the 34th regiment in the
Philippines dealing fully with the Sit
uation there. The northern part of
the island of Luzon is cleared partially
Of insurgents in formidable bodies. the
few remaining being in scattered
bands, They hoped to be able to dis
courage the Americans by conducting
a guerrilla warfare. In the opinion of
Col. Kennon, many Filipinos. with the
exception Of the savage Tagalos, want
ed American control because the forces
under Aguinaldo preyed upon the
country, and committed atrocious
crimes against the inhabitants. This
desire for American rule has taken the
form of burning Aguinaldo in effigy.
Col. Kennon was certain the Filipinos
had no capacity for self government
and needed the strong hand of some
| nation to guide and direct them.
