IHBNORR (a CONGRESS-
Senate Busy With Philippine Amend
ment to Army Bill.
SEEKING TO SECURE A VOTE.
Senator Morgan Declares That the
Cuban Amendment offered By Sem
ator Platt (Conn) VIII Require
Considerable Discussion.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The early part
Of the session of the senate was devot-
ed largely to an effort on the part Of
the leading senator's on both sides to
secure modification Of the Philippine
amendment to the army appropriation
bill which would render it possible to
secure q vote upon 1t. After several
conferences an agreement was reached
which was found to be satisfactory to
a majority Of senators. An amend
ment to the original provision suggest
ed by Senator Hoar was used as the
basis of discussion, but various addi-
tons were made to 1t, so that when
he again offered it in the senate it was
presented as a provision and read as
follows:
Provided, That no sale or lease or other DISPOSE
tion Of the public lands, of the timber thereon or
the mirng rights therein, shall be made, and
provided further that no franchise shall be grant
ed which is not approved by the president OF the
United States and is not in his judgment clearly
necessary for the immediate government of the
islands and indispensable for the interest of the
people thereof and which cannot, without great
public mischief, be postponed until the establish
franchises shall terminate one year after the es
tablshment Of such permanent civil government.
Senators Morgan, Rawlins, Tillman
and Bacon, who had been among the
most determined opponents Of the orig
inal provision, We're all consulted con-
cerning the amendment, and all of
them except Mr.. Morgan indicated a
willingness to let the amendment go
through after reasonable debate. Sem
ator Morgan did not commit himself.
The Democratic acquiescence does not
go to the extent of agreeing to support
the entire Philippine provision, but
only to the point of allowing it to
reach the voting stage.
Agreement on Hazing.
The conferees of the senate and
house reached an agreement on the
academy appropriation bill Yielding
to the demands of the senate they
eliminated the provision inserted by
the first conference at the instance of
the Dick investigating committee, and
the house conferees agreed to accept
the amendment as originally made by
the senate with modification and one
addition. The modification limits the
time during which offenders may be
kept out of the army or navy to two
years, the senate making it perpetual,
and the marine corps is added to the
organizations to appointment to " lich
they are rendered ineligible.

corporation. This Information, the pa
per says, comes from Pittsburgers in

pont Morgan will receive 81 100000 for
perfecting the arrangements, and it is
said that the Carnegie company will
not receive the amounts the stockhold-
ers are credited with obtaining for their
great property.
The dispatch adds that it is stated
that 1t is the proposition of Mr.. Morgan
to permit the ''insiders," the directors
of the various companies to be includ-
ca, except the Carnegie company, to
subscribe to the capital of the under
writing syndicate, which has been pIac.
ed at $100,000,000. This capitalization
was based on the earnings of all of the
plants to be taken into the combination,
and 1t is the intention of the under
writing syndicate, of which Mr.. Nor
gan will be the head, to guarantee the
operation of the plants for one year
from the organization. At the end of
that time there will be division made
to the underwriting subscribers, who,
it is estimated, will receive as their
share about three to one in stock at
