SCENE IN THE SENATE.

The debate 10 the Senste yesterday
evening on the Philippine tariff was
charatt srizsd by unusual bitterness on
the part OF several Senators aud once
or twice personal encounters between
Senators seemed imminent.
Once, when Senator Teller tainted
the republican Senators by declaring
tney knew to be true the statements
made 10 recent dispatch from Manila,
representing General Wheaton as crit
icising tle opponents Of the Govern
ment's policy in tle Philippines, hall
dozen republicans rose to protest.
Senator Lodge, at whom the taunt
seemed to be aimed, hurriedly crossed
from his seat in the center of the re
publican side to the main aisle of the
Senate and psssionatsly challenged the
statement of the Colorado Senator, de-
msrding that be withdraw IL. Mr.. Teller
insisted that it must be, as all dispatches
were censorized, but this ives disputed
by Senators Foraker and Beveridge,
the latter being finally told to cit down.
Mr.. Teller got angry with Mr.. Bever.
idge and said the I0diana man called
him q liar. This Mr. Beveridge dis
claimed.
One OF the sharpett colleagues was
between Senators Spooner, OF Wiscon-
sin, and TillDlap, OF South Carolina.
The race problem, involving the lynch
ing Of negroes, was injected into the
controversy and much feeling was msn-
ifested by both Senators.
10 the course of the colloquy Mr..
Spoouer declared that il tne same rule
was to be applied to the colored people
10 the Philippines as Mr.. Tillman re
ferred to 10 the South, then "God help
the colOred mau 10 the Philippines"
"God help hin 10 the Philippines
now" shouted the South Carolina
Senator, pgssionstely. You have
already butchered 10 three years three
times 0s many as the Spaniards did 10
three centuries"

err, "to kill men with arms 10 their
hands against she Government and the

"You burn them in Kansas" Mr.. Till
mao broke in.
Senators 10 their excitement seemed
for the moment 10 have forgotten the
sutj sct OF debate, and the President pro-
ten. was able with difficulty to main
tain order. When tine discussion finally
ended for the day Mr.. Frye felt called
upon to etmonish Senators that the
rules of the body had not been observ-
ed. After readiDg the rule which had
been violated, be expressed the hope

The Danish Treaty,

Washington, Jan. 29. - The treaty
with Denmark for the purchase by
the United Stbtss of the West Indian
islands belonging to that country, was
discussed informally this morning at q
meeting OF the Senate committee on
foreign relations. Il was the general
impression that The treaty would mol
arouse much opposition and that II
would be ratified without an extended
fight. While DO definite argreemeDt
was made II was generally understood
that a favorable report on the treaty
would be authorized by the commit GO
at its meeting next Wednesday. The
treaty proposes to pay $4,000, 1000 fol
the islands aud it contains y provision
for the holding of q plebiscite for the
purpose OF allowing the Inhabitants OF
the islands to express their views on
the proposed annexation before the
treaty Is finally ratifsd by the Danish
parliament. Because the House Will
have 10 appropriate the money TO CON-
Dlete the purchase, the treaty, unlike
most others, will have to be submitted
TO that body for its concurrence.

A scientific address on the subject OF
sugar was made today before the House

He explained the nature of beet and
cane sugar and showed the reasons
for the remarkable increase In the
production OF the former since 1856.
He said that both the beet and cane
sugar industries were Improbable last
year, the former yielding three per cent

which profit was wiped out however, by
the wear OF the plants. Prof. Wiley
