Delivered An Address.

Chicago, Feb. 24-President Schur-
mann Of Cornell unlv>-sity, and former
head Of the Philippine comm. ssion, de-
livered an address before the students Of
Armour Institute yesterday, in which he
forecasted the reports Of the commission
soon to be published at Washington.
President Schurmann said that he had
recommended to the president a govern
ment and constitution for the Filipinos
identical to that framed by the Filipinos,
which is practically the governmental
policy outlined by Thomas Jefferson for
the government of the vast territory ac-
quired by the Louisiana purchase. Mr..
Schurmann said further he was happy
to state that President Mckinley had ac-
cepted the recommendations and was
sending out a second commission to put
this government in operation.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS

Washington, Feb. 24.-In the house to-
day leaders on both sides showed much
activity in canvassing the situation with
a view to learning definitely the chances
of the Porto Rican bill on the final vote
next Tuesday.
Clayton was the first speaker of the
day, presenting legal arguments against
the bill. He maintained that the United
States military forces held Porto Rico
at the time Of the treaty and that the
island became as much a part of the
United States as the territory of Ari-
zona.
Tawney, a member Of the ways and
means committee, enlivened the debate
by a severe arraignment of Littlef1eld for
his speech yesterday attacking the bill
and its promoters.
What reason is there!" exclaimed
Tawney. "for the unusual and unprece-
dented course of the gentleman from
Maine. compelling him to leave the ranks
Of the republican party and join the
ranks of the democratic party? Why is
it that he should exhibit a want of de-
cent courtesy to the ways and means
committee and to the distinguished gen.
tlemen on the floor? Can it be the spruce
lumber interests of Maine, who will have
to pay on their product entering Porto
Rico so cents per thousand feet? Is it
the people OF Maine who raise their
voices against this? No, it is the lumber
barons of Maine, oppressors of the peo-
pie, for whom the gentleman declaims so
fiercely!"
Littlefield listened to the speech, but
made no effort to answer.
After discussion of the bill, Tawney
concluded as follows:
Imperialism, in the sense of despotic
rule, can never have place in our re-
public except by drain of the republic
itself and it's extirpation of the American
ideal. With such Imperialism republican,
ism is relentlessly at war. Conditions
that necessarily produce imperialism and
despotism cannot and never will be toll.
Grated in our American hfe.''

CAPE B0ERS WANT PEACE
Gen. Brabant Is Treating With

London, Feb 24.-The dispatch from
Paardeberg dated Thursday, made public
this evening, shows that the condition of
General Cronje apparently had not
changed from better to worse up to
Thursday and confirmation of the dis
patch announcing Cronje's surrender is
eagerly awaited.
At this hour the war office has no new,
that the news of the surrender, if true,
should have come from Durham. Lack
ing better authority the Durham dis
patch is regarded as a doubtful an
nouncement.

Big Fight Proceeding.

London Feb. 24.-Spencer Wilkinson,
In the Morning Post, says: From Boer
dispatches We must infer that General
Dewet has gathered a considerable force
of scattered Beers at Petrusberg, about
Is miles southeast of KOodoos rand. with
view of relieving General Cronje.
1t Is probable that battle is also
raging In Natal. Anyway, there is no
need for alarm. 1t is quite possible that
after the fight Lord Roberts may be en-
gagged in pursuing the Beers. which would
take him away from the telegraph wires.
Possibly big fight is proceeding. Lord
Roberts may be lighting from 10000 to
1900 Beers. This would account for the
long silence. as all experience has proven
that the battles occupy some days. The
Beers are experts at digging cover. and
Cronje, in his desperation, may have
risked a sortie in the night.

Toole also defended Governor Smith,

Toole denied any intention Of moving

caused much laughter.
Witness said he could have beaten
Clark for less money than Clark used,
as the republicans who sold to Clark
would have supported republican can

Toole said Conrad told him that his
supporters were seeking an excuse to

San Francisco, Feb. 24.-It has been
stated on apparently reliable authority
that extensive repairs must be made on
the transports Meade and Logan before
they are again ready for sea. The esti-

Improvement in Cotton Outlook.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, July 31.-The Times Dem
ocrat tomorrow will publish its report of
the progress of the cotton crop during
the month of July. The consensus is that
there IS a distinct Improvement in the
outlook. 1t must. however, be remem-
bered that this comparison is made with
the worst that was ever known.
A very large proportion of the original
increase Of acreage has been abandoned
and it is quite possible that no increase
has occurered. Texas, however, probably
the best situated of the States, while
Mississippi is the worst. The Atlantic
States have suffered from drought, but
the situation in that quarter has re-
Gently been relieved, to some extent by
liberal showers.
Louisiana, as a whole, has a very good
prospect. Arkansas is also good. The
reports from Alabama and Tennessee,
show market Improvement. The sit
uation may be summed in the statement
that the crop is very spotted and late.
At present there is no reasonable as
surance of anything more than a mod
crate yield.
