NO CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM

 ed as the Climax of the Deliberations,
 Hartford, Feb. 11.-By decisive vote
 the delegates to the constitutional con-
 vention sitting as committee of the
 whole this afternoon emphatically af- firmed the theory of town representa-
 tion in the house of representatives of the general assembly. The action is re- garded as the climax of the delibera-
 tions of the convention. The issue be- tween the small town and the cities,
 over which the delegates have been de- 1 batting for five weeks, was decided when a vote was reached on resolu-
 ton introduced by Donald T. Warner,
 the delegate from Salisbury. That res olution, declaring that the towns of the state shall have equal representation in
 the house. was adopted late this after noon by viva voce vote which left no doubt as to the sentiments of the ma | JOlIly Ol lllG utlGSdleS' LllC Ipil NS7 not called on this resolution. but on a motion previously introduced the com mittee of the whole stood IF to 39, and this was regarded as virtually test of the standing of the majority and minor | ity factions.
 l It was not until repeated efforts had been made by the advocates of enlarged representation for the cities to turn aside the current of sentiment for equal representation that the resolution of Delegate Warner prevailed. For two hours amendment after amendment was offered to the resolution, but each in turn was put aside with chorus of Noes which drowned effectively the voice of the city contingent and their sympa thizers.
 Shortly before o'clock when the last amendment had been voted down, and the minority members kept their seats
 in evident discoura cement, Chairman Perry put the Warner resolution to a vote, and it was carried decisiveIy. No one doubted the vote and the roll call was unnecessary Immediately after ward the committee of the whole ad- iourned, and, with President Andrews agdln m the cndlF, the ConN Neulloli looiN recess until to- morrow morning at 113O, when it is expected that formal vote will be taken on the report of the committed.
 The early part of the proceedings or the day, which began at 12;30, was as usual devoted to the introduction of resolutions, among which was one by Mir Waller, of New London, providing that such changes as may be recom- mended in the constitution by the con- vention shall be presented to the peo- pie in sections so that they may be voted on separately. Another was by 1 Mr Davenport of Bridgeport. prohibit | ire public officers from accepting free | passes Two others by Mir Coe. of | Cromwell, and MT. Northrop, of New | town, offered plans for representation | in the house All were referred to the I of the whole.
 When the convention went into com mittee of the whole speeches on the c, estion of representation were made by MT Nettleton, of Killingworth, MT. Walsh, of Ansonia, MT. Maltbie, of Granby, and MT Davenport, of Bridge port.

PETERSON FIRE SITUATION.
Burned District to be Temporarily
 Turned Over to Militia.

Paterson N. J., Feb. n.--Mayor Hinchcliffe, Sheriff Sturr and Major Ross, commanding the militia, had a conference this afternoon at which it was agreed that the municipal and county authorities should give over to the militia the control of the burned district beginning tomorrow morning and lasting for the ensuing eighteen hours. The reason for his is that to- morrow being holiday it is expected that several hundred thousand persons will visit Paterson and the establish ment of full military control with a plainly marked dead line was consid- cred the best plan to avoid trouble.
 There will be no cessation tomorrow of the work now in progress in the burned area. The laborers will be ad- mitted early in the day after the passes they now hold signed by the mayor or sheriff have been countersigned by Major Ross.

 LFPTON'S FAC HIING PLANS.
NvtIi Try to Sail New Challenger on tho
 Great Lakes.

1 London Feb. 11-Sir Thomas Lipt on will accept the committees invitation to be present at the Olympian games to be held in Chicago in 1904 and if possible. he will bring the new Amerir ca's cup challenger to sail on the lakes. To representative of The Associated Press Sir Thomas said tonight:
 'I greatly appreciate the appreciation and the kind things President Thurber says about me. If nothing prevents it I certainly shall be present at the games and if the difficulties can be overcome I will show the Chicagoans the challenger. If that is impracticable I might consider building a boat for the special purpose of competing on the lakes. At the first glance the problem of getting a boat the size of the chal- lenger through the canals does not ap- pear so great as the Chicago commit tee fears. The pontoons upon which the Shamrock II was launched are still available and ought to carry her through.
 Sir Thomas said also that he would soon send out the cup which he has pre- scented to the Chicago Yacth club for annual competition. He hoped, he said, that the members would find it worthy of the club.

STIRRING SCENE IN SENA7f.
pIatt of ThIs State and Hnar of Masst .
 chusetss the PrsnCipuIs.

! Washington, Feb. 11.--A stirring de-
 bate on the general Philippine question was precipitated in the senate late to-
 day, the principal participants being MT Platt of Connecticut and MT. Hoal of Massachusetts. MT. Teller of Colo rado had concluded his argument
 against the enactment of the pending
 Philippine tariff bill for the day. In
 controyerting some statements he
 made, MT. Platt directed the senate's attention to the situation in the isl ands, as he viewed it, maintaining that great progress was being made by the government In subduing the insurgents. He referred to the elections for the mu- nicipal officers in various cities of the islands. MT. Hoar ridiculed the state ments of MT. Platt and in facetious vein adverted to the efforts of the American government to control the Filipino.
 The remarks of the Massachusetts senator aroused MT. Platt, who deliv- cred notable speech, in the course of which he referred to MT. Hoar in pretty sharp tones His speech was listened to by senators on both sides of the chamber with profound attention. In conclusion he paid an eloquent to the efforts of the United States to carry the principles of free government to every territory where it had control.
 In his reply, MT. Hoar delivered an incisive criticism of the action of the Philippine commission, declaring that he had been taught to judge men rather by their actions than by their words and by this standard he could not judge the Philippine commissioners with any degree of favor.
 Early in the day the senate adopted joint resolution submitting a constitu- tional amendment changing the time of inaugurations and the ter and commencement of con- gresses from the fourth of March to the last Thursday of April

HOWE & STETSON.
PETITION TO CONGRESS.
Appeal of tho Directors of the American
 Peace Society.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 1.-The directors of the American Peace society have sent to congress the following petition: '"rhe board of directors of the Ameri- can Peace society respectfully petition congress to declare by resolve that the United States will grant independenca to the Filipinos, as soon as they shall establish and prove their ability to maintain stable civil government.
 We believe that such a declaration, similar to that made in relation to Cuba just prior to the Spanish war, would meet the approval of the great majority of the American people, would prove to the world the unselfish pur- poses of our country would restore peace to the Philippines at an early day, and thus prevent the further sac- rifice of life and property In what seems likely, under existing conditions, to be an indefinitely protracted and bit- ter conflict"
 The petition is signed on behalf of the society by Robert Treat Paine, president, and Dr. B. F. Trueblood sec- retary.

Sentiment of the Hohse Expressed I'm
 Opposition to Ii.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The voting in
 the house to-day to the oleomargarine
 bill indicated a considerable change of
 sentiment since last congress when
 the bill had 1O6 majority. It also in
 dicated that the opposition to the meas
 ure has gained strength While pass
 age of the bill is not endangered it is not likely that the majority to-morrow. when the final vote will be taken will exceed 30 The opposition to-day was strong enough, in committee of the whole, to cause the adoption of two important amendments, one providing that nothing in the act should be con- strued to prevent the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine in any state for consumption entirely within such state and the other providing for the inspec- ton and branding of renovated or pro- cess butter. The latter amendment was especially obnoxious to the friends of the measure and when the bill was re- ported to the house a separate vote was demanded on it. That vote was pend ing when the house adjourned. AL though the amendment commanded majority of 20 in committee of the whole, where no record is made, it is not unlikely that the action of the com mittee will be reversed morrow, when members will be obliged to go on record Several committee amend ments adopted o-day changed the of the bill, the most i'm portant being that making the ten cent tax apply to oleomargarine made in imita ton of butter of any shade of yellow" Considerable feeling was in- tected into the proceedings toward the close of the session.
