FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Voting on
amendments to the oleomargar;ne bill
in the house indicated a considerable
change of sentiment since the last
congress, when the bill had 106 ma
jority and that opposition to the
measure has gained strength. While
the passage of this bill is not en-
dangered, it is not likely the majority
when the final vote is taken will ex-
coed 80. Opposition was strong
enough in the committee of the whole
to adopt two important amendments.
one providing that nothing in the act
should be construed to prevent the
manufacture and sale of oleomargar-
inc in any state for consumption en-
tlrely within such state, and the other
to provide for the inspection and
branding of renovated or process but
ter. The latter amendment was es-
pecially obnoxious to the friends of
the measure and when the bill was re-
ported to the house a separate vote
was demanded on it. The vote was
pending when the house adjourned,
A stirring debate on the general
Philippine question was precipitated
III the senate, the principal partici-
pants being Senators Plat of Con

Senator Teller of Colorado had con-
cluded for the day his argument

Philippine tariff bill In response to
some statements he had made Senator
Platt directed the senate's attention
to the situation in the islands. as he
viewed it, maintaining that great
progress was being made by the gov
eminent in subduing the insurrection.
He referred to the elections for mu-
nicipal officers i'll the various cities of
the islands and to the establishment
OF schools for the education of the
Filipino children. Senator Hoar
ridiculed these statements. The senate
passed a joint resolution submitting
constitutional amendment changing
the time of the presidential inaugu-
rations and the termination and COM
mencement of congress from the
fourth of March to the last Thursday
in April

the senate was quiet. The Colorado
senator desired that all newspaper
men be admitted to the committee
hearings, declaring that as now con-
Quoted they were of the star cham

ton was that Senator Lodge had sug-
gested the hearings be entirely
secret. This drew the fire of the

Washington. Feb. 15.-Dttring the
entire session the senate had under
consideration the bill establishing a
permanent census Office. The great
contest of the day, OF course. was
over the transfer to the classified
service of the employees OF the census
Office who will be retained in the per-
manent establishment 1t involved
the entire civil service question and
the debate covered much ground that
has heretofore been gone over in
congressional debates.

washington, Feb. IA little
Hurry was created in the senate over
the employment since the beginning
OF the session of score or more of
extra clerks and messengers for the
committees. Charges of extrav-
agance made induced the reference
OF the whole subject of clerical en-
ployment to a committee for Inyes-
tigation. The bill creating a per-
manent census office was under cou-
sideration for time, but was not
dipsosed of finally.
The monotony of private pension
day of the house was enlivened by a
sensational speech from Mr. Wheeler
he denominated 'flunkeyism" toward
he denominated ''funkeyism'' the
foreign countries. He took recent
statements emanating from con-
tinental cabinets regarding the at
titude OF Great Britain during the
Spanish war as a text for wholesale
attacks upon the trend of our recent
diplomacy. He severely scored Sec
rotary Hay and declared that if
Lord Pauncefote had sought, as al
legged. to circumvent us during the
war of 1898 the sooner he was ship
ped across the seas the better. He
also criticised the president for his
reported intention to send his daugh-
ter to the coronation of King Edward
and protested against the official ,e-
ception of Prince Henry. His speech
aroused the house to a high pitch OF
excitement and elected from Mr..
Boutelle of Illinois spirited defense
of Secretary Hay. Several other

Washington, Feb. 13.-While no
definite agreement has been reached,
the vote on the Philippine tariff bill in
the senate seems to be in sight 1t ap-
pears likely, judging from the discus
sion of the subject today, that the
vote may be had next week, although
the matter yet is involved in some
uncertainty. Senator Teller of Col
oradO concluded his speech. He
urged strongly that the Filipinos be
given the fullest possible measure of
self government, the United States
simply maintaining protectorate
over the islands. He said he would
prefer that this government should
withdraw absolutely and without con-
dltlons from the archipelago than that
the present war should be continued.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon made a
speech in support of his amendment
to reduce tariff duties upon Philippine
products coming into this country to
80 per cent. of the Dingley rates,
maintaining that congress owed this
concession to the Pacific coast states
as well as to the Philippines them
selves.
The house unanimously adopted q
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
for the election Of senators by direct
popular vote. This is the fourth time
the house has adopted a similar res
olution. Two bills of general i'm
portance were passed. One was
senate bill to provide for the payment
OF claims of confederate officers and
soldiers whose horses, sidearms and
baggage were taken from them by
union soldiers contrary to the terms
OF the surrender of Lees and John
sons armies. The amount to be paid
under the bill is limited to $4,000.
The other bill was to confer on the
Spanish claims commission authority
to send for persons and papers and
punish for contempt. Mr.. Corliss,
who Is the author of the bill for a
government cable from San Fran
cisco to Manila, made a speech in Cd
position to the laying of such
cable by private corporation.
