The FEATURE OF the session OF the
House on Saturday was the attempt OF
Mr.. Hay, OF Virginia. to secure the
adoption OF a resolution calling upon
the Secretary OF War for information as
to the cost oithe war in the Philippines,
but the resolution was laid on the table
by party vote. The republicans are
quite reckless In their expenditures, but

AGAINST THE protect of the demo-
crst, and by a strict party vote, the
Senate committee on territories on Sat
urday decided not ID take up ct this
session the bill admitting the Terri
tories Of Oklahoms, New Mexico and
Arizons as States into the union. The
reason Is obvious. 1t is by no means
certain that II t1ess Territories were
admitted as Stat as they would send re-
publicans to the Senate, and as with
many republicans to be democrat is a
crime they have no idea OF making
democratic States.
