Star Routes IN Nevada.

The Postoffice Department will ad-
vertise for proposals for carrying the
mails on all star routes in Nevada,
Utah. Idaho, Wyoming and other
Western States some time in Septem-
Der. These contracts will be for four
years. and the contractors will be re-
quired to live in or on the routes on
which they offer to carry the mails.
This requirement is to prevent spec
ulation in bidding, by which contract
ors have been enabled to secure a large
number Of contracts at a low figure
and sub let them to local sub-contract-
ors, and which has resulted in deficient
service all through the West. Under
the new contracts the carriers will be
required to deposit mail in boxes If
settlers along the route whenever re-
quested by the settler and a box is
erected for such purpose. For this
reason and the anti speculative clause
1t IS expected that the new contracts
will be let at advanced rates.

AS AN AMENDMENT.
Spooner Philippine Resolution Added
to Army Appropriation Bill.

Spooner Philippine Resolution Added
to Army Appropriation Bill.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on the Philippines has au-
thorized Senator Lodge to report the
Spooner amendment introduced Fri
day, concerning the government of
the Philippine islands as an amend
ment. to the army appropriation bill.
One slight verbal amendment was
made. AS the amendment was intro
duced it provided that all military,
civil and judicial powers necessary to
govern the islands shall be vested in
such persons as shall be named by
the president, etc. The word "judi-
cial' was stricken out because it was
the opinion of the committee that all
judicial functions are embraced in the
civil administration. The Democrats
on the committee made no opposition
to the reporting of the amendment.
The provision will next be considered
by the committee on military affairs.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE desk Of
Albert D. Shaw of New York, late
cotnmander-in-chief of the G. A. r.,
was draped in black and covered with
flowers when the house met. The
chaplain in his invocation referred
feelingly to General Shaw's death.
Owing to the extreme pressure of the
public business, it was decided by the
house leaders that it was inexpedient
to adjourn Immediately out of respect
to his memory. After the reading Of
the journal Mr.. Payne, chairman of
the committee on ways and means,

Antitrust Bill Again Considered by
Senate Committee.

Senate Committee.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE anti
trust bill was again under considera-
ton by the senate judiciary committee
but no progress was made toward Sc
curing report. Some of the members
of the committee expressed the opin-
ion after the close of the meeting that
no report would be made during the
present session of congress. The bill
as it passed the house is satisfactory
neither to the Republicans senators
or the opposition. The latter, how
ever, has proposed that the bill be re.
ported as it passed the house, with
the view of getting it before the SEN
ate and there attempting to amend
it, but the Republican senators have
taken the position that the bill should
be perfected in committee.
The committee has practically
agreed upon Senator Hoar's amend
ment exempting labor organizations
from the operations of the present
law, but has made no other definite
progress.

SENSATION IN THE HOUSE

Brown Of Ohio (Rep.) criticizes the
Administrators Philippine Policy
and Advocates the Granting of In
dependence With Certain Reserva
tions-senator Tillman Declares
His Intention to Block Pensions.
Washington, Feb. lin the house
consideration of the diplomatic and
consular bill was resumed. Mr.. Miers
Qnd.) was recognized for a speech
on Cuba and the Philippines. He Sc.
verely criticized the policy which
denied to the insular possessions
those blessings under the constitu-
ton which had been held out to them"
Mr.. Miers also dealt with the growing
power of concentrated wealth and the
domination of trusts.
Mr.. Brown CO., followed in speech
urging that congress should give def
mite assurance to the Filipinos as to
the purposes of this gov cut.
He advocated the speedy adopulon Of
a resolution declaring that 1T is the
purpose of the United States in re-
tanning possession of the Philippine
islands to aid their inhabitants, when
they submit to the authority of the
United States, in establishing a capa-
BILE and stable free government and
when this purpose shall be fully &C
complished the United States, under
such reservation and consideration
as may be wise and just, will relinquish
sovereignty in those islands" 49,.
The reading of Mr.. Browns resolu-
ton caused something of a sensation
coming from the Republican side and
the Democratic members broke into
long-continued applause. Mr..
Brown urged that in all fairness this
assurance should be given to the Fill
ipinos without further delay. It might
be the plan even now in mind, but
what was most essential was that the
definitely to the Filipinos. He char
acterized the idea of breaking the
pledge giving to Cuba as the climax
of greed and as a doctrine of free
hooters and pirates"
At the close of Mr.. Browns speech
he was surrounded by number of his
colleagues and congratulated on the
boldness and vigor of his utterances.
Mr.. Dinsmore said the country was
to be congratulated on the speech just
made. as it gave evidence of a cour-
ageous purpose to disregard the pol.
icy of the party in power.

Of Peace Commission to Treat
With Beers Officially Denied.
New York, Feb. IA dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
The dispatch issued by the war of.
fee telling of the hard fighting in
South Africa goes long way to prove
that the big reinforcement of 10000
mounted men now under orders for
the cape is really essential to the full
fillment of Kitchener's task. An en-
Eagement in which the attacking force
numbers 1000 Beers and which re.
suits in at least "a men being killed,
cannot be considered mere guerilla
action. Nobody nowadays affects to
believe that the South African cam
paign is virtually over and it is quite
evident that a general surrender of
the Beers is not likely to take place
for some time to come. Louis Botha
failed in his attack on Smith-Dorriens
camp, but, although he suffered Sc
verely, he appears to have inflicted
sufficient loss on the British forces to
prevent the repulse being turned into
a serious defeat. The Beers every
where seem to be displaying increased
audacity and peace proposals are not
likely to meet with cordial recep-
ton as long as the present bitter feel
ing between the Beers and Britons in
South Africa lasts. In view of this
unsatisfactory state of affairs, the
announcement on the subject by the
king in his speech to parliament is
awaited by the country with the
greatest interest Meantime nothing
would delight Englishmen so much as
to hear that Dewet's persistent at
tempts to gain a footing in Cape Col
ony had at last ended in his capture.
Already irresponsible people are be-
ginning to advise the military authori-
ties what they should do with him,
and one influential newspaper sug-
gests, in the event of his being caught
alive, that he should be tried for MUIR
der.
