DEBATE WARNS UF.
Philippine Discussion In the House Becomes
LIVELY,

Washington, June 25.-Some routine
business preceded the resumption of
the debate on the Philippine civil gov
ernment bill in the house yesterday.
Bills were passed to make Great Falls,
Mont, the port of entry for the collec-
ton district comprising Montana and
Idaho; to authorize the secretary of
war to issue duplicates of certificates. of
discharge instead of certified copies as
provided under the present law; to ex-
tend the privileges of transportation
of dutiable merchandise without ap-
praisement to the supports of Tacoma
and Seattle, Wash.
A resolution was adopted calling
upon the secretary of war for informa-
tion as to the payments made by Gov
ernor General Wood to F. B. Thurber
and any other person or cor poration,
together with the dates and accounts
of such payments, for advocating re-
ciprocity with Cuba.
The consideration of the Philippine
civil government bill was then resumed
and DeArmond, of Mo-, made general
speech in opposition to the policy of re-
tanning the islands. He was followed
by Olmstead, Grosvenor and Mahon
favoring their retention. These speech
es we're answered by Bartlett, after
which the house adjourned until 8
O'Clock in the evening, when a number
of speeches were made for and against
the measure under consideration.

NO TREATY WITH CUBA.
Time Too Short Before End Of Session to
NEGOTIATE One.

Washington, June 25.-It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session of congress. It was at
first planned that, in the event of the
failure of the administration managers
in the senate to secure favorable action
on the Cuban sugar bill, treaty
would be drafted at once. This was on
the understanding that Senior Quesada,
the Cuban minister here, had full
power and that treaty could be drawn
up in Washington entirely. It is
stated now, however, that this cannot
be done, and that any draft of treaty
must go to Havana and be returned be-
fore it can be submitted to the senate.
This, of course, cannot be accom-
plished in the short space of time Fin.
tervening before adjournment, if the
estimates of the leaders that congress
will adjourn by July are correct.
No confidence is felt in administra-
tion circles as to the ability of the sem
ate managers to secure the ratification
of a treaty, even if one is drawn, and
while the president may feel called
upon to put the matter to test, it will
be rather " ith the idea of demonstrat-
ing his own purpose to do everything
possible for Cuba than in any expecta-
tion that two-thirds vote for ratifica-
ton could be received.

Militia Will Be Kept at Silk Mills Until All
Trouble Is Over.

1TVuUsC - SVSTs
Paterson, N. j., June PA meet
ing of all trades unions connected with
the silk industry in this place was held
late today. It was decided not to go
to work again in the mills until the
military had been withdrawn. No
formal strike was declared, but the
matter was left in the above shape. In
addition to this, the unions decided
to send committee to tho millowners
and ask them to submit the differences
between the owners and dyers' helpers
to arbitration.
The city officials decided tonight to
post militia at the mills and keep them
there until the trouble is over. Two
hundred Wint hester magazine rifles
OF the latest pattern arrived at police
headquarters here today. The weapons
we're purchased by order of Mayor
Hinchcliffe. With the rifles came q
large consignment of ball cartridges.
There are how rifles enough stored at
headquarters for the mayor at a mo-
ment's notice to arm his 104 policemen,
his 40 members of the Ere department,
and nearly, if not all, of the special
recently sworn in for riot
duty by the sheriff of Passaic county.

Manila, June 26.-Five soldiers oi
the Twenty seventh Infantry, forming

the island are inclined to be unfriendly.

General Burt Suggests Turning Them Over
to the japanese.

San Francisco, June 26.-General A.
S. Burt, retired, who has recently re-
turned from the Philippines, has plan
for the solution of the Philippine prob
lem. He believes he has arrived at a
conclusion that will ultimately be &C
cepted by the administration and the
public at large as the only solution.
"Turn them over to the japanese, "
said the general. ''Let them have
them on the installment plan for the
consideration of, say, s150,000, 900.
Our government does not need the
money in lump sum, and by making
a proposition of that kind we can die
tate as to coaling stations and make
such reserves as are thought to be best
for trade interests. An arrangement
of that kind can be effected that will
give the United States as broad road
into the markets of the Orient as if
we retained the islands; besides, we
will be making strong allies of two
nations that will represent our interests
on that side of the globe without the
necessity of the presence of a large
army at an enormous expense"

TROLLEY CAR AFIRE.
Motorman and Five Passengers Seriously
Burned.


New York, June 26.-While running
at a high rate of speed Myrtle avenue
trolley car, in Brooklyn, took fire, burn
ing the motorman and five passengers,
one probably fatally. Other passengers
were badly injured by jumping to es-
cape the flames, which swept the full
length of the car, being carried by the
wind.
The car was making returnstrip to
the Brooklyn bridge from the Ridgeway
picnic park. 1t was loaded to the
utmost limit, the conductors register
showing ITO passengers, when there was
report that was heard three blocks in
all directions, and which almost lifted
the car from the track. A fuse had
burned out, and fame caught the
woodwork and also burst through the
motor box. This flame was carried up
over the front dash board, and being
caught by the draft caused by the speed
of the car, swept back, burning all who
were unable to throw themselves into
the street. The motorman, although
much injured, stuck bravely to his post

NO KINDNESS TO CHINA.
Appeal for Scaling Down Indemnity Net
Welcome.

London, June 25.-The Pekin corre-
spondent of the Times, commenting on
the question whether the payment of
the Chinese indemnity to the foreign
powers should be made in gold or
silver, says the American interpreta-
tion of the protocol meets with no ap-
proval from the other governments con-
cerned and that a reconsideration n
would show the United States that no
service is done to China by listening to
her appeal. The mandarins, goes on
the correspondent, welcome the indem-
nifty as a means of squeezing the peo-
pie, while placing the odium thereof on
the foreigners.
The Times correspondent says that
Russia has withdrawn from the foreign
government of Tien Tsin, and that
General Wokak, hei representative, has
started for home, refusing to be party
to the imposition upon China of the
new conditions drawn up by the allied
commanders.

READ. THE RIOT ACT.
Exciting Demonstration at q Lost Creek
Collery.


Shenandoah, Pa, June "a. There
was an exciting demonstration in the
vicinity of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company's four collieries, two miles
from Lost Greek, this state. This
morning about 800 men and boys gath
cred at this place, threw stones and
roughly handled several non union men
and clubbed coal and iron policeman.
The sheriff of schulykill County finally
dispersed the crowd. The crowd was
attracted to the cclliery by the impor-
tation of new men to take the place of
strikers. Deputy sheriffs were hurried
to the place from Pottsville, and, after
the riot act had been read, the crowd
was persuaded to disperse. Shortly
after o'clock the mob gathered again,
and several men were attacked as they
came out of the place. They were bad
ly used up. A coal and iron police
man, who came to their rescue, was
stoned and clubbed, but was not seri-
ously hurt. The superintendent of the
colliery would not allow his men to
make any move nor to use their re-
volvers, and in short time the crowd
also scattered.
In the meantime word was sent to
Wilkesbarre and 25 coal and iron po-
licemAn were sent down, and arrived
there shortly after o'clock. They
were hooted, but were not attacked.
Everything is now quiet about the
collieries.

BIG LOSS BY FIRE.
Nearly 500. .ooe Worth Of Property Destroy
ed ON PortIand's Waterfront.

Portland, June 2S.-Fire originating
in the old Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works
Saturday night, swept away nearly six
blocks of the East Side water front
property, burned down the two east
spans of the Madison street bridge, re-
duced East Water street to ruins from
Salmon to Jefferson streets, and burned
SO hotly about the great oil filled tanks
of the Standard Oil Company that it
looked for time as if terrible explo-
sion would spread the flames out over
the river and along the entire water
front. The loss will reach 1912 900,
much of which ia not covered by insur-
ance. There was no loss of life. One
fireman was hurt, but not fatally. 1t
was 1850 when the alarm was turned
in, and before the first engine company
could reach the foundry of the Phoenix
Iron Works, formerly the Wolff &
Zwicker plant, the roof was ablaze, and
the dry timbers were carrying the fire
in every direction. The wretched water
facilities along the streets, and the
absence of any means to take the en-
gines to the river, which was directly
beneath the roadway, made it impos-
sible to do much more than spit at the
fire with few 80 foot streams, and in
less than half hour the iron works
were in the center OF a rapidly widen
ing zone of fame, which soon extended
south beyond Jefferson street, and
almost to the Troy Laundry Company,
near East YamhilI. Every building in
the district was either leveled to the
ground or left c,umbling ruin.

the first year of service and 20 cents
thereafter, the company will substitute
it for the present scale. The company
will not interfere with the right of the
employees to organize, but declines to
recognize the union or to receive a
grievance committee from the union.

The scope of the commission ha.

He says the immediate award to sue.

In the old classical system of education

ing knowledge of English that 10, ,0OC
adults are going to night schools in
Manila.
Before the American advent in
Manila typewritters were almost un-
known in the Philippines, but at every
examination held by the commission
applicants are qualifying in typewriting
and stenography. Of the 5000 posi-.
tions mentioned, 1000 are held by
natives, the remainder by Americans.
The policy of the commission, Mr..
Pepperman says, has been to replace
Amer leans by Filipinos as rapidly rs
possible.
"Under Spanish rule,'' he contin-
ued, women were unheard of in the
government service, but before I left
Manila three Filipino young ladies had
