The senate.

Washington, Feb. IA stirring de-
bate on the general Philippine question
was precipitated in the senate late yes
terday, the puecipal participants be-
ing Mr.. Platt of Connecticut and Mr..
Hoar OF Massachusetts. Mr.. Teller OF
Colorado had concluded for the day his
argume mt against the nactment of the
pending Philippine tariff bill. In re-
Spouse to some statements he had made
Mr.. Plat 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
IN subduing the instruction. He 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 ridicIled the statements of
Mr.. Platt and in a fecetious vein adj
verted to the efforts of the American
government to control the Filipino peo-
pie. The remarks of the Massachu-
sctts senator aroused Mr.. Plat. who
delivered a notable speech, in the
course OF which he referred to Mr..
Hoar in pretty sharp terms.

The voting on the amendments to the
oleomargarine bill In the house yes
terday indicated 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, ii 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
ments, one providing that nothing in
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

into the proceedings toward the close

Washington, Feb. IL. - 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 Fllipinos 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 a speech on the pending
measure, but had scarcely introduced
his argument before he requested that
he be allowed to continue his address
to-day.

General debate on the oleomargarine
bill was closed yesterday. The friends

amendment to make the 10 per cent tax

amendment is designed to meet the
charge of the opponents of the bin that

Riotous Indians in Cell.

Omaha, Neb jan 1.-THE Republic
OF Omaha" has come to an end. Its Off
cials- John kunlel, president; George
Mitchell, secretary of state; Walter
Tyndal, secretary of the treasury, and
Henry Morris. secretary of war-now
occupy separate cells in the Douglas
county jail The prisoners, with the ex-
ception of kunkel are full blooded Om-
aha Indians.
The infant republic was started on
Wednesday evening. The three Indians
came to Omaha to visit Indian Commits
soner Matthews. Soon after drawing
some money due them they spent it In a
saloon where they met Kunkel, and all
became intoxicated. On the way back
to Pender the election was held. A dec
laration of independence was evolved.
AT the village known on the reservation
as Dogtown the Indians ran amuck in
the streets, flourishing revolvers and
chasing the inhabitants into their
houses.
Then the rioters started for Pender.
where they created further havoc. Dep
uty Marshal James Allan, with posse.
appeared and the Indians. after some
show of resistance, We're persuaded to
give up their weapons and surrender.
After a hearing before United States
Commissioner Sloan the ringleaders
we're brought to Omaha. The three In
dams are charged with assault with in
tent to kill and introducing liquor in the
Indian country, while kunkel was all
lowed to plead to the charge of giving
liquor to Indians.

london. ian. 11.-There will be cap-
inet meeting here Monday wnich pios
fair to be the most fateful in the MS
tory Of the West Indies and may event
ua1Iv AFFECT the United States. Lord
Salisbury and colleagues will then de-
eide whether Great Britain will put
countervaling duty on sugar. secre-
tary Chamberlain will submit state
ment upon un-impeachable evidence
from West Indian authorities, that If
this step is not taken the sugar in
dustry in the West Indian islands Will
be dead within a year and the Islands
hopelessly bankrupt The British dele
gates to the Brussels sugar conference
will also report there is no likelihood OF
continental nations abolishing bounties
unless Great Britain declares intention
Of Imposing countervailing duties,
should the bounties be continued. Pre-
liminary sessions of the Brussels con-
ference have convinced the British del
egates that the continental powers on
ly desire at the most to amend the
bounty system, and this is chiefly due
to the hope of placating their own con-
sumers. The best informed opinion
gathered by the Associated Press, in
clines to the belief that the cabinet will
not consent to imposition of counter
vailing duties, for fear of raising
storm Of internal criticism from the old
school of free traders who constitute
the formidable wing of the untonist
party The memorandum which Cham
berlain will present on Monday is word
ed more in the nature of an ultimatIm
than any hitherto presented to the gov
ernment and while it does not openly
threaten session, that phase OF the
situation has been verpany comuni-
Gated by the colonial secretary. 1t is al
most needless to add that the decision
OF the cabinet will be kept a profound
secret, at least until January 20, when
the British delegates return to the
Brussels conference. 1t is' said Cham
berlain realizes the gravity of the
crisis and favors imposing countervail-
ing duties, but its doubtful whether he
will win the day.
