STRUGGLE HAS BEGUN
Senate Takes Up Matter
Legislation for Insular
Possessions.

Minneapolis, Feb. 25-A Journal
special from Washington says: The
real struggle for insular legislation at
this session began today in the senate.
The army appropriation bill was under
consideration and the Philippine
amendment was reached. In addition
the Cuban amendment was introduced
and the general debate on these rropo-
sitions began.
Sharp opposition to the Philippine
amendment developed on the demo-
cratic side, beginning with point of
order, which the senate overruled,
followed with speeches by Senators
Tillman, Rawlins, Cafferty, Bacon and
Morgan. The amendment was de-
Tended by its author, Spooner, who
pointed out the necessity for legisla-
tion.
Senators Vest, Hoar, Bacon and
Rawlins offered amendments tending

FATAL CHILD'S PLAY.
Shocking Death Of Boys Playing About
Nine

Duluth, Feb. 25-A special to the
Herald from >Biwabik, Mimi, says:
A terrible accident, resulting IN the
loss of three lives, occurred Sunday
afternoon at the Elba mine, six miles
from Biwabik. Five boys were riding
a car which is used in the shaft. One
of the boys turned the switch the
wrong way and the car descended rap
idly from the top of the shaft house
towards the shaft opening. One of the
boys realized the danger and pulled
his brother off the car in time to save
him. The car crashed down the shaft
opening, hurling the three young boys
to the bottom, killing them instantly.
The boys killed were two sons Of
Joseph Felt, aged 10 and 10, respect
lively, and Andrew Schladkach's son,
aged about years.

to limit the powers conferred by the
Spooner amendment.
Senator Morgan made an extended
speech severely crisicising the pro-
posed legislation.
An evening session was held to al
low time to continue the debate.
At the evening session Morgan of
Alabama declared that the Philippine
amendment was in effect an abdictation
of power by congress and the turning
over to the executive branch of COM
plete and final authority over the Phil
ippines. Once this power was pos
sessed by the president, congress could
never again get possession of it with
out a two-thirds vote to overrule his
veto. 1t was such a transfer of power
as the British parliament would never
dream Of comforting upon King Ed
ward. The hazard and rashness of
this proceeding, he declared, was never
equalled in any country having par
liamentary government. Morgan said
that under the proposed legislation
speculators and trusts would lick up
SO, 900. 900 acres Of lands in the Phil
ippines with their mines and forests
Of untold richness without the reser-
vation of single homestead for the
people. The senator expressed the be-
lief that the real motive of the meas
ure was to give authority by means
of which millions of acres in the Phil
ippines could be gobbled up by great
speculative enterprises.
Morgan spoke two hours and then
stated that tomorrow he would take
up the question of the right of con-
gress to delegate or abdicate its powers
and after that would discuss the Gu
ban branch of the subject.
At 1915 Morgan's colleague from
Alabama, Pettus, moved adjournment,
but on yea and nay the motion was de-
feated. The senate's refusal to ad-
journ compelled Morgan to go on
with his speech. AS he resumed he
referred with some feeling to the ap-
parent effort to dragoon this measure
through despite all proprieties. After
lengthy and arduous session, begin
ming at II O'Clock this morning, Nor
gan said the senate had determined
to force old age to go ahead with his
speech and in effect had served him
notice that he could go until he
closed. But" he added, speaking
with impressive deliberation, II would
rather leave this chamber dead man
than to leave 1t coward. It would
be plain abandonment of duty, he said,
it he should skulk because of his age
or because Of the lateness of the hour.
Spooner tried to gain recognition to
ask Morgan as to his plans, but the
venerable senator waved him off and
caustically declined to yield. At IL 40
p. M, Morgan yield to Spooner for a
motion to adjourn and the long ses-
sion came to close.

Recommendations of Senate Committee Cabed to

of Constitutional Convention.

Havana, Feb. 25-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention met in exeou-

cussed the question Of future relations

It was evident that the delegates we're
deeply impressed with the recommen-

st. Louis Exposition Appropriation in
Danger.

Washington, Feb. 25-Friends of
the Louisiana purchase exposition bill
are considerably exercised on the par
liamentary difficulties still in the
way tof the final passage Of that
measure. The appropriation of
$5, 900, 600 went through the house on
the pledge in last year 8 sundry civil
bill that this amount would be given.
But since the senate has added a pro-
vision for the Charleston, S. O., expo
sition, which had not previously been
pledged, there is considerable doubt
whether the friends of the bill can get
the recognition of the speaker. They
are hoping, however, to get the mat
ter into conference, but the few days
remaining glves added cause Of anx-
iety,

BLOW TO HE1NzE,

Helena, Feb. 25-The supreme
court today reversed the action of
Judge Clancy of Butte, in appointing
E. H. Wilson receiver for the Minnie
Heally mine, a rich copper property in
litigation between F. A. Heinze and
the Boston & Montana company,

Heinze.

on relations declared that any scheme
of relations accepted by the convention
could not bind the future republic and
must be approved by the Cuban con.
gress. The members of the committee
were unanimous on this point.
The report was rather in the nature
of suggestions showing no substantial
variation from the forecast already
cabled.
Senior Nunez introduced resolution
that the convention should appoint a
commission either to go to Washing
ton or to meet commission from the
United States congress to discuss the
question.

Protest 4 "et l. tablishment of Separ.

Washington, January 6-Secretary Root has transmitted to the chairman of the Senate military committee protest signed by Claude V. Morris secretary to the New York State Veterinary Medical Society, against the proposed amendments to the army bill providing for corps of veteri- narians In doing so MT. Root sent an ex- planatory letter, saying in part:
 "The general officer in command of troops ought to be able to hold the offices of the cavalry and artillery regiments responsible for having their organizations ready for ac- tive and effective duty at all times. If the horses of these organizations are under the charge of veterinary corps, with the chief reporting to the Secretary of War, there can be no such responsibility. Give the veterinarians rank if you want to, but I most earnestly urge that you do not i'm pose upon us another bureau of the War Department, another independent corps, another element of disintegration, divided responsibility and consequent inefficiency."

 According to a native report, hundred men, either Boers or local farmers, nave just passed through Williams district in
 
 the direction of Malemsbury.
 The Capetown correspondent of the Daily Mail says calls for 400J0 fresh troops have been made by the colony.
 Prominent Afrikander loyalists declare that the rebellious colonists will construe the colonial call to arms as challenge, and that the ominous silence of the pro- rebels, combined with the fact that mem bers of the pro-Boer junta in CapetoWn have been touring in the disaffected dls- tricts, emphasizes the necessity for marual law The necessity was never more acute for dispatching achievements Already there is proof that coloniais are leaolng one commando - '.The military movements reported are quite unimportant, though Portugal IS sending endorsements to Lorenzo Marques pr.
