COST OF PHILIPPINE VAR. s
Over SI7O, 100000 Already Expended =
 Usual Expenses Included.

Washington, June 19.-Secretary
 Root to-day made answer to the sen ate resolution of April 17th calling for information as to the cost of the war in the Philippines. It is shown that $5O- 900 was advanced for the expenses of
 the Philippine commission originally from the United States treasury but this amount afterwards was reimbursed
 out of the Philippine treasury. For railroad transportation of troops and supplies to and from the Philippines since the peace treaty was ratified the cost has been $4 SO3, AS
 Reports from the various bureau off, cers are submitted to show the cost of the Philippine war, including outstand- ing obligations showing that the total up to date is $170, ,326, 5S6.
 Secretary Root concludes with the following explanations Attention is in- vited to the fact that large quantities of valuable property the cost of which is included in the foregoing statement, still remain on hand in the Philippine Islands for use It should also be ob- served that a large part of the expense during the past year should not prop erly be treated as occasioned by mil-' tary operations in the Philippine Is lands, for the reason that it consists of pay and maint enance of troops whom we would have had to pay and main tain, whether they were in the Philip pines or not in order to keep up the minimum number of regular troops re- qured by law as safeguard against future contingencies. The minimum at which the regular army is required to be maintained, by the act of February ?, 1901, is 59567 men and the maximum is 00,0O0. We have now less than 1O,- 900 in excess of the minimum number. The cost of that excess only is properly to he treated as occasioned bv opera tinns in the Philippines"

PHILIPPINE DEBATE IN HOUSE.
The Republican and Democratic Sides
 Ably Presented.

Washington, June 19.-The opening day of the weeks debate on the Philip pine government bill in the house was signalized by a remarkably strong and exhaustive speech by MT. Cooper, chair man of the committee on insular affai The most telling portion of his speech was the parallel he drew between the present attitude of the opposition and the attitude of the opposition during and immediately succeeding the civil war.
 MT. Jones, of Virginia, the ranking member of the minority of the commit tee, made an able presentation of the democratic position, but he yielded the floor after speaking about an hour, and will resume tomorrow morning. These were the only speeches made to-day. The order under which the house is op- erating provides for night sessions until Wednesday for debate only, but as no one was prepared to speak tonight the order for the session this evening was vacated.

MONT PELEE'S ACTIVITY.
Continues to Emit Flames and Gin der--
 Column of slime Ejected.

Paris, June 19.-In the chamber of
 a question regarding the economic situ-
 ation in the island of Martinique said
 that measures should be taken to pro-
 vide for the resumption of work and to
 revive social life. He urged that @
 committee be sent from France to su-
 perintend the reorganization of affairs
 in Martinique. The minister of com merce, M, Doumergue, replied that the
 volcano continued to emit flames and
 cinders and that it was impossible to send the workmen belonging to the northern part of the island back to their occupations. Work was contin- ued in the south and work and assist ance would be given to all refugees. Arrangements were being made to re- organize the Bank of Martinique. The minister concluded with thanking the subscribers to the relief fund.
 Fort de France, Island of Martinique, Wednesday, June 18,-A column of slime 100 metres high has been elected from the volcano of Mont Pelee, and has fallen on Basse Pointe, enveloping the lower part of the town, and com pletely raging twentytwo houses. No loss of life has been reported.
 The volcano continues to throw forth cinders on the northern part of the isl- and, which has been rendered uninhab- itable Previous to the falling of the mass of slime or mud, on Basse Pointe, that place and Lorraine had been in undated by torrential rains That part of Basse Pointe which suffered to-day is now covered to the thickness of about five metres with slimy mud. Le Pre- cheur also suffered from this latest eruption of Mont Pelee.
 Fort de France, Island of Martinique, June 19.-The river which flows by Basse Pointe has risen suddenly four times since yesterday, and as a result thirty houses at Basse Pointe have been carried out to sea.
 The first flood was signalized by the appearance, in the valley of the river, of a torrent of muddy water forty metres wide and five metres high, which ad- vanced with frightful rapidity. The first houses that were struck by the rush of waters were shattered and thrown high into the air and their ruins were carried out to sea on the crest of the torrent.
 During all of yesterday afternoon thick clouds of smoke issued from the crater at the head of the River Fallaise and the river itself has been rushing downward with such violence that it's banks have been carried away and the 1ld river bed has disappeared. The riv- ar has now taken a new course. A bridge over the Fallaise has been car ried away. One of the chasms result ng from the volcanic eruptions, which rendered access to the head of the river is now filled up with vol ,anic matter which has solidifed, and 1t this moment 1t is impossible to cross he chasm on the newly-thrown out ma .erial.

PANAMA ROUTE ADOPTED
THE SENATE PASSES SPOONER
 AMENDMENT 4e TO 34.
President Authorized to Select tho Above Canal COurse Provided He Can Obtain Clear Title-Otheryvise He Is Route-Whole Measure Passed by Vote of @ to 6.

Washington, June 19.-An isthmian canal, while not yet absolutely assured, is nearer to construction that it has been. The senate to-day by major ity of eight votes adopted the Spooner substitute for the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill, the vote on the substitute be- ing 42 to 34. After two amendments to the measure had been adopted, one pro- viding for a commission to supervise the construction of the canal and the other providing for the issuance of $130, ,000, 900 of per cent gold bonds to raise money with which to construct the waterway, it was passed by vote of 67 to 6.
 It has been evident for several days that the Spooner substitute, which in brief provides that the president shall select the Panama route if he can ob- tain a clear title to the Panama Canal company's property, but, otherwise he shall adopt the Nicaragua route, would command the votes of majority of the senate. The Panama route was con- sidered more desirable by the senate than the Nicaragua route. The only question left open is the title to the property and that the president will de- termine, if the house should adopt the senate's amendment to it's bill.
 The detailed vote on the Spooner amendment follows:
 Yeas-Aldrich, Allison.

Montpelier, Vt, June 19.-Amid scenes of marked disorder and turbulence the republican state convention to-day nominate General J. G. Mccullough, of Bennington, for governor on the third ballot, a body of delegates supporting Percival W. Clement, of Rutland, marching out of the hall as a protest against the action of the majority. The bolting delegates later, at an impromp- tu open-air demonstration, nominated Mr Clement for governor on an inde- pendent ticket, but later developments indicated that the high-license men would devote some time to considera- tion of the political outlook before plac- ing an independent ticket in the field. MT. Clement himself tonight advised his followers to go home and think it over before taking any nasty action.

COAL STRIKE SITUATION
ILLINOIS LEADERS ARRIVE TO
 CONFER WITH MITCHELL.
In Session for Two Hours~Soft Coal Miners of the West Not Unanimous Tor General Sfrfke-Wiiling, How ever, to Give Financial Aid to the Anthracite Men.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 19-The arriv- al of President w. R. Russel and Sec retary- Treasurer w. D. Ryan of the Illi- nois miners organization for confer ence with National President Mitchell was the only event of any importance around strike headquarters to-day. The
 two Illinois leaders arrived at 3 o'clock. The conference lasted two hours. In- formation has reached here that the soft coal miners of the west are not unanimous for a general strike and some of them, it is said, are against a partial suspension. Those men who op cial aid to the anthracite strikers, but some of the leaders are not ready to &C., cept this sort of aid In the spring the 1900 when strike levy of 25 cents a month for each member of the United Mine Workers of America was made, there were only three state organiza- tions that responded in full. There is now a strike tax of ten cents a month for each member in force, but as far as can be learned this is not being paid in full by all the districts in the country. For this reason the leaders would rath- CT have the hituminous miners either strike or partially suspend operations. President Mitchell received information to-day from West Virginia, which, he says indicates that the strike there is most favorably.

 Paterson N. J., June BOA delegation representing the mill owners called on the emayor last night and demanded pro- lection. The mayor replied that he was affording it. To this it was replied that the force was too small and would be overriden by a mob of any size; that it was impossible to concentrate any great number of men at any point, and that a large portion of the deputy sheriffs were green hands and unreliable. It was pointed out that the mill hands were afraid to work and that to-day those who worked were in momentary fear of attack. This resulted in an ap- peal to the governor who was in New ark for troops and the consequent ac- tion of General Campbell
