Washington, May 23.-1n the senate
yesterday Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin
made notable speech in favor Of his
bill declaring that upon the suppress
sion of the instruction in the Philip
pines the government of the islands
shall devolve in the president until
such time as congress might direct
otherwise. Mr.. Spooner was almost
too ill to stand. but he defended with
characteristic vigor and eloquence the
policy OF the administration in the
Philippines, maintaining that no other
policy, in the circuT stances, was pos
sible. and that none other could have
been adopted without dishonor to the
country. Late in TIE afternoon Sen
ator Carter Of Montana presented the
credentials of Senator Clark of that
state. They will lie on the table for
the present. Mr.. Wellington of Mary
land presented the resolution adopted
by the meeting held in this city on
Sunday evening last welcoming the Ell
voys Of the South African republics.
He gave notice that on Monday he
would speak on the subject. Mr.. Platt

Leavenworth. Kan, May .2G.-Frank
p. Blair of Chicago, one of the attor~
neys for Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, the
army officer in prison ut Fort Leaven-
worth, is in town to hold u conference
with the prisoner relative to the eff
forts that are being made to have
some process instituted that will get
him out Of prison. Just what plan Mr..
Balm intends to use he refuses to
make known beyond saying that half
dozen leading attorneys of the coun-
try are hard ut work devising ways
and means for the release of the en-
sineer and that he has strong hopes Of
success. Capt. Carter has said re-
pcatedly that he did not and would ac-
cept a pardon, as that would be con-
strued as an admission Of his guilt.
He still declares his innocence and
expresses confidence in his early re-
lease.

The senate.

Washington, May 25.-The duty Of
the United States toward its ''island
possessions was the subject Of heat
60 discussion in the senate again yes
terday. Soon after the senate con-
vened Mr. Bacon of Georgia began
an extended reply to the speech of
Mr.. Platt delivered Wednesday,. His
speech was largely supplemental to
that which he delivered several days
ago demanding an investigation of
Cuban financial affairs. His resolu-
ton, to which there is little or no OPP
position, under the rules, went to the
committee on contingent expences.
Inc remainder of the afternoon was
occupied by Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin
IN concluding his speech on the Phil
lpplne question. The debate which
ne aroused took turn decidedly po-
ltical. Ie charged the so-called
anti-imperialists with creating an
issue which was not legitimate. Many
OF his statements were controversial
by Mr.. Allen of Nebraska and Mr..
PettigreW of South Dakota, and the
controversy at times became almost

discussion of the status Of the Boer
commissioners now in Washington
was precipitated in the senate yester-
day by resolution offered by Mr.. AL
len of Nebraska extending to the CON-
missioners the privilege Of the floor
OF the senate during their sojourn in
the national capital. The vote was de-
feated by a vote of 36 to p, but not
until after a sharp controversy be-
tween it's author and Mr.. Davis. chair
man of the committee. on foreign rela-
tions. Mr.. Allen maintained that the
resolution was in line with precedents,
while Mr.. Davis contended that under
the peculiar circumstance the senate
ought not to take any action that
might be considered a recognition Of
Boer diplomats until the president.
who alone had the power to receive
diplomatic representatives, had taken
action. The postoffice appropriation bill
was finally passed, the amendment to
: appropriate $225,OOO to carry on en-
listing contracts for the pneumatic
J tube service being agreed to. An ef-
fort was made by Mr.. Morgan of Ala

The house yesterday, under suspen

law to all laborers employed under
contract on government work, and the
other to prohibit interstate traffic in
prison-made goods by bringing them
under the Jurisdiction of the police
powers of the state. The former bill
is designed to carry the law of 1892 to
it's logical conclusion. The convict la
Dor bill caused some sharp Inquiries
