WILL NOT APPOINT RAMPoLLA.
Pope Has Conferences with the Cardinal
for Other Reasons

Ropte, Aug. 20.-Because Plus X has received
Cardinal Rampolla several times in long audi
ences, the runlor is abroad that the cardinal
might be reappointed Secretary of State to the
Vatican. A denial, however. of this report has
been obtained from trustworthy source.
It is explained that the conferences were due
both TO the desire on the part of the Pope to
become personally acquainted with all foreign
questions and partly also to the fact that Car
dinal Rampolla, who is executor OF Pope Leo's
will, must consult with the new Pontif when
ever controversial points arise.

American people during that period,
inspired by purpose as lofty and I'M
selfish as any that has stirred the
heart OF man, lifted the gage of bat
tie and gave ungrudgingly of its
blood and treasure for the liberty of
Cuoa, and the right of the Cubans to
establish on their own and beautiful
island their own free and independent
republic. 1t has taken upon itself
thls people Of ours, with character
lstlc courage in the interests of civil
cation. and upon the demand of ma
tlonal honor obligations, thus far
burdens. There came to us from the
Spanish war many problems extreme
ly complicated, many of US thought
dangerous; we have gone deliberately
about their solution.
Porto Rico is territory of the
United States, to stand forever under
the flag of the United States over one
entrance to the great canal which Is
to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
seas. (Applause)
In the Philippine archipelago the
Worh OF educauOn, government and
liberty goes on in peace, and this ma
ton is without handicap or legisla-
tive or improvident pledge against it
in the future. No man can deny that
the relations of the United States to
the governments OF the world in re-
spect to power and influence during
the last five years has utterly
changed. But for that change many
things adverse to this people would
have occurred. I am convinced that
but for that change and the posses
sion by the United States of the
Philippine archipelago China before
this day would have been partitioned
to the probable detriment forever of
the commercial interest of the
United States

FEDERALLAW MAKERS.

Washington, Jan. 26.-In the senate
today Mr.. Quay, in charge of the
omnibus statehood bill, insisted on
it's consideration to the exclusion of
the order of business. A resolution
offered by Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, questioning the credentials Of
Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d
'affaires, who signed with Secretary
Hay the canal treaty, caused the
senate to go into a long executive ses-
sion. At it's conclusion the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill was
passed. The lodge amendment pro-
viding for a reorganization of the
service was ruled out of order and
the debate thereby cut Off The house
made a new record in the matter Of
appropriation bills. The military
academy bill was passed without a
word of debate. The Indian bill which
followed, was not completed, as Mr..
Burton Of Ohio made long speech on
it in general criticism of the policy
of the government toward the Indians.
hdl.lSOI, jail A+.-l he lWU uOuSSS
voted separately for United States
senator, SpoOner getting the total re-
publican vote, 103, and Neal Brown of
Wausau the democratic, 26. There
were three absentees. Little else was
done. In the senate bills were in
troduced: By Senator Rogers, to
amend the laws relating to the licens-
ing of peddlers and by Senator Stout,
relating to the certifcation of teachers
of manual training and of domestic
science. In the house a bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Britain permitting
army nurses to get relief from county
funds for INDECENT soldiers and to ad-
mission to the veterans home.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-A sharp de-
bate was precipitated in the senate
today when Senator Rawlins- called
up his resolution directing the Sec
rotary of war to furnish the senate
! the proceedings of a number of court
ma1'ials in the Philippines. The state
| hood bill was taken up and Senator
! Lodge spoke in opposition to it. An
attempt by Senator Aldrich to divide
the business Of the senate with the
statehood bill failed. The house
made slow progress with the Indian
appropriation bill, covering only about
eight pages in four hours. Mr.. Burton
of Ohio hung on the flank of Mr. Sher-
man of New York, who had charge
of the bill, and insisted on an explain
alton of every item. He succeeded
in having several appropriations cut
down. In the course of the debate he
furnished statistics on the subject OF
Indian education, designed to show
that the more money the government
spent, the more helpless the Indians
