 To authorize a bridge across the Arkan- sas river near Fort Gibson, l. T.. to con- struct a life-saving station at Hogue h. let, N C.; to authorize the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana Railroad to con- struct bridges across the White and Ar kansas rivers.

HOUSE WANTS SENATORS
 ELECTED BY PEOPLE.

Washington. February l3.-rhe House today unanimously adopted a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitu- tion of the United States for the election of Senators by direct popular vote This is the fourth time the House has adopted a similar resolution.
 The Senate bill to provide for the pay ment of the claims of Confederate officers and soldiers whose horses, side arms ana baggage were taken from them by Irnion soldiers. contrary to the terms Of the surrender of Lee and Johnson arm ies, was passed. The amount to be paid under the bill was limited to $50OOO. The House also passed a bill to confer on the Snanish claims commission authority to send for persons and papers and to pun ish for contempt.
 Bills also were passed to grant to the White Star Railroad Company the right 10 construct a railroad across the gov ernment lands in Independence County. Ark Speaking to a pro-forma amendment to the latter bill. MT. Coriss, Republican, Michigan. who is the author of bill to provide for the laying of a government cable from San Francisco to Manila, ad- dressed the House on the cable project He was opposed he said, to Congress in calling concessions to private cable mo- nopolies notably the Commercial Cable Company, controlled by the Mackay- Bennett forces, and dwelt emphatically on the importance of the United States operating it's own cable lines. "The right to construct cable lines,' he said, lis an inherent right of the nation. No one has a right to lay a cable without permission of Congress"

Trusts Should Be Wiped Out.

"Let Congress strike out boldly against the manufacturing industries which have ripened to gigantic trusts and which have brought and are bringing to their promo ters princely individual wealth but let Congress hesitate to strike down in its infancy an agricultural industry like that of the sugar beet. The sugar trust, the steel trust and certain other formidable combinations that might be mentioned arc able to stand alone. The beet sugar in. dustry is not.
 The former do not need protection the latter does.
 Referring to the argumeEt that th, United States was bound t,s accord all nations the right to deal with the Filipinos on the same basis as that en joyed by Americans MT. Mitchell said:
 An open door in the Orient is all well enough, but If the price of it is to be the surrender of Trinciple. of tha' right to exercise the very highest prerogatives attaching to us as an inderendent sover- eign power. then that dooi had better forever be closed {"
 MT. Lodge made an effort to reach an agreement a time when a final vote on all amendments and the measure itself should be taken. It was developed that several Senators on the Democratic side of the chamber desired to speak and that MT. Spooner and MT. Wellington also would speak on the bill
 MT. Patterson said that two speeches were then to be made on the Republican side.
 Well" said MT. Lodge, the speech of the Senator from Maryland will be on your side"
 Physically it will not be" suggested MT. Patterson. referring to MT. Yelling tons seat on the Republican side.
 Physically 1t will not be-" said MT.

Congress Should Differentiate.

MT. Mitchell maintained that Congress should differentiate in favor of the insu- lar possessions and added:
 '"That we have as nation given pledge that a stable government shall Dc established and maintained in Cuba + conceded. But this pledge does not, ) submit, impose on us duty to makt trade concessions to the planters and pro- ducers of Cuba which will initiate ma terially against the planters, agrlcultur ists and producers of our own country. Such a concession is not an obligation resting upon us, either expressly or by implication. Of course, if reciprocity arrangement can be made with Cuba, which will be to the advantage of our peo- pie, or which will not seriously affect ad- versely any American interest or Ameri- can labor. and which may be of benefit tc Cuban interests. then by all means let us have it."
 Continuing Mir. Mitchell asked if the products of Porto Rico came into the United States at S5 percent reduction of the Dingley rates and later on entirely free and this all largely in the interest of the trade and commerce of the people of the Atlantic states as well as of the people of Porto Rico then upon what principle of right or justice, or equity must the people of the Pacific coast states pay the same rates on Philippines products coming into this country that are imposed by the Dngley act.

TELLER FEARS
 AS|ATIC WAR Says J, s, Will Some Day be Attacked in Eastern Seas ENDS PHILIPPINE SPEECH
Vote On the Bill Will Probably Be Secured Some Time Next Week. Several Speeches to Be Made
 From Democratic Side.

Washington, February 13.-It appears likely judging from a discussion of the subject late in the days session, that the vote on the Philippine tariff bill in the Senate may be had next week, all though the matter is involved in some un- certainty.
 MT. Teller of C~ieredo concluded his speech today. He urged strongly that the Flipinos be given the fullest possible measure of self-government, the United States simply maintaining prctectorate over the islands He said he would pre- fer that this government should withdraw absolutely and without condition from the archipelago than that the present war should be continued.
 Mir Mitchell of Oregon spoke in sup port of his amendment to reduce the tar if duties upon Philippine products com ing into this country to 50 per cent of the Dingley rates, maintaining that Con- gress owed this concession to the Pacific coast states as well as to the Philippines thanselves

Will Some Day Clash.

During his speech Mr. Teller said that in his judgment the day would come when the United States would clash with some Asiatic or European nation in the far eastern seas. Then the Philippine Islands, held as they are now, would be a source of weakness to this country. If treated by the United States as they ought to be the Filipinos at that time would be a source of strength to this government.
 A bill appropriating s6oOO for the relief of trustees of Carson and Newman Col lege at Jefferson City, Tenn, was passed.
 Mir Mitchell of Oregon, then addressed the Senate in support of his amendment to the pending bill to place certain arti- cles entering the United States from tne Philippines on the free list: to levy a tar if of 50 per cent of the Dingley rates upon articles not admitted to the free list; and to eliminate that portion Of sec ton 3 of the bill which provides that the same tonnage tax shall be levied on all vessels coming from our insular posses sions as is levied on vessels from foreign countries
