Yesterday Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota
called up the bin providing for the es-
Establishment of department of COM

which, he said. existed for the passage
of such a measure, and was piled with
questions by several senator's, who sald
that sufficient time mad not been al
lowed for looking into the merits OF the
measure. Mr.. Teller criticised that
feature relating TO the transfer OF the
geological survey. while MIR. Hale sara
that the bin provided for a department
which ultimately would be one OF the
largest in the government. The OH

Nelson. The senate was in executive

Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote
have a most honorable ambition If
they are seeking to settle all the ques-
tons in dispute between this country
and Great Britain, with reference to
Canada. The most serious question is
that of the Alaskan boundary. Practi-
cal agreement, as we understand, was
reached by the joint high commission
on all other questions. But our British
friends wished everything settled or
everything left open, and as the com
mission could not get together on the
Alaskan boundary, it's deliberations
were indefinitely postponed. Perhaps
now settlement will be more easily at
tanned. This country has whatever
rights Russia possessed. 1t would seem
that 1t ought not to be impossible to
determine what those rights were.

Gov. uerreid's Plan for nm Exhibit
nj ST Louis,

=
nt -. Louis.
The matter of a state exhibit at the
st. Louis exposition is receiving a great
deal of consideration on the part OF
Gov. Herreid. The question of ways
and means is the one which requires
thought and II is probable that at the
April meetings of the boards of county
commissioners, Il viii be suggested TO
them that they appoint delegates from
their various counties to meet at some
time and place to be designated by the
governor. If such n convention Is
called IL will be held as early as possi-
bile i'm the summer and the whole mat
ter will be turned over TO IT,
There has been an expression from
several quarters that IL the state makes
any movement. the most suitable build
ing TO erect would be I'm the shape of a
grain palace such as has been erected
az Aberdeen. The plan which win no
doubt be presented is that the expense
be apportloned to the different coun-
ties. the commissioners of which will
be asked to allow a warrant for the
amount assigned TO the county, such
warrants to be held until such counties
have taken action TO carry with them a
large enough majority of the legislat-
ure TO assure, practically. state APP
preparation to reimburse the counties.
The talk of special session Of the
present legislature to take action Will
do no good. as the governor states pos
itively that he will not consider any
such action. The same body refused 70
grant an appropriation.
Gov Herreid, while outlining the
above plan, is anxious TO hear expires
sions OF others, in case they have a bet
ter plan. as il is his earnest endeavor

position. lie win visit st. Louis early
in the spring, and has letter from the

ton viii require action early in the

the ground. ne will. no doubt. be given
the privilege of designating what would
be satisfactory site for the building,
which he believes the citizens of the

In TIE senate.

Washington, Jan Is - For the first
time this session the Philippine ques-
ton was touched on the senate. The
interest taken indicates that il will oc-
cupy the attention of the upper branch
OF congress for some time when the
tariff bill Is repohcd The Philippines
were the subject if an address by Mr.
Hoar of Massachusetts. who spoke on
his resolution introduced Monday pro-
viding for the appointment of a senate
committee to investigate the admins
tratfon of those Islands. Mr.. Hoar
spoke at some length regarding the
unreliability of statements which have
been made from tine to time regarding
the situation in he Philippines and
tho causes which Id to the outbreak.
Mr.. Lodge. Mr.. Eoar's colleague, said
he regarded the resolution as re-
Election on the Philippines committee,
of which he was chairman, and the
necessity for the Halter would cease
were this resolution to be adopted. His
committee, he said, was perfectly able
to handle any Investigation which
might be conducted. Mr.. Carmack
agreed with him. The discussion was
leading rapidly to an opening up of the
whole Philippine question when it was
agreed that the resolution should go
over until to-day. Mr.. Mason of Illi-
nois made a speech in favor of reel
procity with Cuba and discussed the
protective policy gena ally.

The house continued the debate on
the pension appropriation bill yester-
day and devoted much time to the
proposition advanced by Mr.. Rixey of
Virginia Monday, 10 open the doors of
the soldiers homes to ex-Confederate
veterans, Two notable speeches were
made in support of the proposition, one
by Mr.. Gardner, a Michigan Repub-
lican, and the other by Mr.. De Almond,
Missouri Democrat. Mr.. De Ar

the house. The Republicans, with the
exception of Mr.. Gardner, took no part
In the discussion of the Rixey sugges-
ton. which met with much opposition

that it was utterly impracticable. Mr..
