Washington, Feb. 14.-The house yes
terday unanimously adopted q resolu-
tion proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States for
the election Of senators by direct popu-
Lar vote. There was no demand for
time tn debate the resolution. This is
the fourth time the house has adopted
a similar resolution. Two bills Of gem
eral importance were passed by the
house. the remainder of the time be-
ing devoted to minor business. One
was o senate bill to provide for the
payment Of the claims of Confederate
officers and soldiers, whose horses, side
arms and baggage were taken from
them by Union soldiers contrary to the
terms of the surrender of Lee and
Jchnson's armies. The amount to be
paid under the bill was limited to $780,
900. The other bill was to confer or the
Spanish claims commission authority
to send for persons and papers and 20
pun:sh for contempt.
In the Senate.
While nc definite agreement has been
reached, a vote on the Philippine tariff
bill il the senate seems to be in sight.
L. appears likely, judging f.rom a dis
cussion late in the days session that
the vote may be had next week, al
though the matter yet is involved in
some uncertainty. Mr.. Teller Of Colo
RADIO Concluded his speech yesterday.
He urged strongly that the Philippines
be given the fullest possible measure of
self government, the United States
simply maintaining a protectorate over
thu islands. He said he would prefer
that this government should withdraw
absolutely and without condition from
the archipelago than that the present
war should be continued.

In the Senate.

Washington, Feb. II. Throughout
nearly the entire session Of the senate
yesterday the Philippine tariff bill was
under consideration. Mr.. Turner of
Washington concluded his speech be-
gun last Friday on the legal and con-
stitutional phases Of the Philippine
question. He held, in the main, that
as the Filipinos had established an In
dependent government In the islands
prior to the fall of Manila, the United
States, under the principles of interna-
tional law, had no right in the islands.
Mr.. Teller Of Colorado took the floor
to deliver speech on the pending
measure, but had scarcely introduced
his argument before he requested that
he be allowed to continue his address
to-day. r

General, debate on the oleomargarine
bill was closed yesterday. The friends
of the bill have decided to offer an
amendment to make the 10 per cent tax
apply to oleomargarine in imitation OF
butter, "of any shade Of yellow" The
amendment is designed to meet the
charge of the opponents Of the bill that
without this amendment the language
OF the bill might be construed to abso-
lutely prohibit the sale of oleomargar

The Senate.

Washington, Feb. IA stirring de-
bate on the general Philippine question
was precipitated in the senate late yes
terday, the pciecipal participants be-
ing Mr.. Platu of Connecticut and Mr..
Hoar Of Massachusetts. Mr.. Teller of
Colorado had concluded for the day his
argument against the enactment of the
pending Philippine tariff bill. In re-
spouse to some statements he had made
MIR. Platt directed the senate's attention
to the situation in the islands, as he
viewed it, maintaining that great prog
ress was being made by the government
il subduing the insurrection. ETe re-
ferred to the elections for municipal Of
ficers in various cities Of the islands
and to the establishment of schools
for the education OF Filipino children.
Mr.. Hoar ridiculed the statements of
Mr.. Platt and in a fecetious vein adj
verified to the efforts of the American
government to control the Filipino peo-
pie. The remarks of the Massachu-
sets senator aroused Mr. Platt who
delivered notable speech, in the
course of which he referred to Mr..
Hoar in pretty sharp terms.
Early in the day the senate passed a
joint resolution submitting a constitu-
lOnal amendment changing the tunes
of presidential inaugurations and the
termination and commencement of
congress ses from March to the last
Thursday of April.
In the House.
The voting on the amendments to the
oleomargarine bill in the house yes
terday indicated a considerable change
of sentiment since last congress when
the, bill had LOG majority, and that the
opposition to the measure has gained
strength. While the passage Of the bill
is not endangered, it is not likely that
the majority, when the final vote is
taken, will exceed 80. The opposition
was strong enough in committee OF the
whole to adopt two important amend
naents, one providing that nothing i'll
the act should be construed to prevent
the manufacture and sale Of oleomar-
garine in any state for consumption
entirely within such state. and the 9TH
er to provide for the inspection and
branding of renovated or process but
ter. Considerable feeling was injected
into the proceedings toward the close
of the session.

III the mouse.
Washirgto Feb. 13.-The house yes
terday passed the oleomargarine bill.
There was no division on the final pass
age, the real test of the strength hay
ing been made on a motion to recon-
NIT, which was defeated by a majority
Of 81. The provision to require the in
spectio,. and branding of renovated
butter, which was adopted in commit
tee OF the whole Tuesday, was retained
yesterday on the aye and nay vote. AS
finally passed, the bill is somewhat
modified from the form in which it was
rel,e rted from the committee on agri-
culture 1t makes oleomargarine or
imitation butter or cheese transported
into any state or territory for USE sale
Or consumption therein subject to the
laws Of such states or territories, not
withstanding that it may be introduced
in original packages. and imposes a
tax Of 10 cents per pound on oleomar-
garine made in imitation of butter of
an? shade of yellow" When not made
in such imitation the tax is reduced to
one-fourth of 1 cent per pound. The
second section is intended to prevent
dealers, hotel proprietors, restaurant
orins the uncolored article. The new
section relating to the inspection and
branding of renovated butter is as fol-
lows:
THAT the secretary of agriculture is
hcreb.' authorized and required to
caus', a rigid sanitary inspection to be
made from time to time, and at such
times as he may deem necessary, Of all
nd OF
is renovated; and all butter renovated
at such places shall be carefully in
spected in the same manner and to the
same extent and purpose that meat
products are now inspected The GUAM
tity and quality of butter renovated
shall be reported monthly. All reno
waited butter shall be designated as
such by marks, brands and labels and
the words renovated butter shall be
printed on all packages thereof in such
name as may be prescribed by the
secretary of agriculture and shall be
sold only as renovated butter No rem
ovated butter shall be shipped or trans
ported from one state to another, or 70
foreign countries unless inspected as
provided by this section .
War claims occupied the attention Of
the house after the passage Of the
olecmargarine bill and the day was
made notable for the passage Of the
first bill for the payments Of claims
Of United States citizens arising out OF
the Spanish war. It carries something
over ST., 900 for the payment of l2O2
claims for property taken within the
En:rel States for the use OF the army.
An omnibus bill carrying claims aggre-
eating s2sl14.558 for stores and supplies

MINING COMPANY WINS,

In the suit of the Iron Belt Min
ing company against the Duluth
Furnace company, in which plain
tiff sought to recover damages for a
breach Of contract, a decision was
given Monday by the United States
court of appeals, sitting at St. Paul,
in favor of the plaintiff.
The plaintiff contended that the
defendant had agreed to purchase
a specified amount of its ore within
a specified time, and later refused
to live up to the contract. The de-
fendant protested that there was no
specified time for delivery. The
court held upon the evidence, how
ever, that December 31st last, the
date agreed upon by the parties as
the time when the ore should all
have been delivered, should be con-
sidered the time for the breach of
contract.
