Philippine Bill Claims PreC-
 edenCe This Week
STATEHOOD MEASURE
May Not Return From Committee Be-
 fore the Holidays-Swayne lm- peachmsnt Resolution Will Be
 Special Order in the House Tuesday

Washington. Dec. 1.-The principal event scheduled for the senate during the present week is the taking of . vote on the Philippine civil government bill which is set down for next Friday at o'clock. Under the agreement a vote on the bill remains as unfinished business of the senate until that date and will have preference over all other questions in the matter Of debate each day after o'clock
 Many democratic senators opposed ~the bill, but from the best informa- tion obtainable there will be no gen eral debate on the Philippine question as they consider the passage Of the bill a foregone conclusion. They vill devote their efforts to securing mOdi- fication of some of the provisions which they regard as especially Ob- nOxious, giving special attention to the bond and Chinese immigration clauses
 After the vote on the Philippine pill on Friday, the senate will adjourn un- til the following Monday and 1t Is con sidered doubtful whether much mo~e business of general importance will then be undertaken until after Christ mas.
 It is believed that the statehood bill will not be received from the commit tee before the holidays

DARK LANTERN SESSION.
Not All Republicans That Met i'm J. P.
 Kellogg's Office Last Night.

A big meeting of prominent repub- deans was held in the office of John F. Kellogg last evening. What was 1t all about? Was 1t to settle the snarl over the appointment of a sealer of weights and measures or to protest against dark lantern sessions by the city boards, notably the department of public works and the safety board? If not 1t must have been a sort of con- clave relative to trolley matters. If so, the public will he curious to know what took place behind that closed ao I. Naturally they would like to learn whether the meeting was held in the interest of the city or that of the trolley people. Rumor has it that there were some democrats in the crowd. A Democrat reporter asked four different persons whom he saw coming out of the meeting what was going on, but each gave him an eva slve answer. One said 1t was com mittee from the aldermen who had called upon City Attorney John r. Kel. logg to ask him to serve on the board of agents of the Bronson library fund, to succeed his father. This may be true, but the man who said so acted as if he didn't believe 1t himself, so he must not be surprised to hear that the reporter didn't swallow" the answer. If the session had any public signffi- canoe, it will leak out some day, proba- bly when 1t will be too late for citi- Eens who might not approve of what was on to turn hand the other way.

FIR. CAIRNS DYNAMO.
Five Cluster Light Now Burning Am
 City Hall Annex.

City Engineer Cairns has solved the electric lighting question so far as Wa terbury Is concerned and now 1t re- mains to be seen whether the people prefer to pay a private corporation about ten times more for electricity than they can get it for by manufae- turing 1t themselves. Last year tAe board of public works authorized .44e city engineer to spend a sum not to exceed 5000 in fitting up a dynamo in the basement of the bureau of en- gineering, and the new board voted to have the cellar floor concerted at an outlay not in excess of $1O0 I ..e first thing heard from thls in a public way was the installation of five cluster light in the City hall annex, which worked so well one could pick up pin in the most remote corner of the building even though none of the other lights was burning. The new plant is capable of still greater things and probably inside of few weeks the City hall building, including all the offices, the Leavenworth street engine house and the police station. will be lighted by electricity generated und"r in" direction of the bureau of engineering. all of which would mean saving to the city of about $1.20O a year

.WIJu AN OPEN PORT.

Korean Government Comedies Amer
 ican Ministers Demand.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The Amer tcan minister at Seoul has cabled the state department that WiJu has been declared open to the commerce of the world by the Korean government.
 The United States was the first pow CT, so far as known, to apply to the Korean government for the opening of Wijh to the worlds trade. This action was taken while Japan and England were urging the opening of Yongam- pho, lying at the mouth of the Yalu river on the Korean side. The view taken by the state department was that if we could secure the opening of Wiju 150 miles up the Yalu above Yon- gampho the effect would be to practi- cally open the whole of that stretch of tue river to commerce., so that the project really was much larger than the mere opening of 8 port at the mouth of the river.
 Wiju lies on the opposite side of the river and very near to Antung, in Man churia, which the Chinese government already has by treaty with the United States declared to be an open port.

BE READY FOR WAR.
Secretary Moody Advocates Large
 American Navy.


 BOSTON, Feb 1S-Secretary of the Navy William M. Moody, speaking at the annual dinner of the New England Rubber club at the Hotel Somerset, strongly advocated a large navy and in the course of an earnest speech de. clared that if the United States de sired to maintain peace 1t must be known that at all times 1t was ready for war.
 Secretary Moody was the chief guest at the banquet, at which the other speakers were Governor John L. Bates and Congressman David A. De Armond of Missouri. President l.. De Wart Apsley presided.
 Secretary Moody was cordially re ceived as he arose to speak. He de- clared that there was never a time when the importance of power upon the sea was more manifest than 1t was to- day. He referred to the Russo-Japa. nese war and pointed out that al. though one of the nations was superior in many ways to the other, yet the weaker nation by her success on sea had rendered every part of her terri tory secure from invasion. He said in part:
 "The United States is weaker than the other powers so far as submarine and surface torpedo boats and other boats under 1000 tons displacement are concerned, but still is fifth in rela. tive naval strength and has under con. strucuon 6 greater amount of tonnage sn ships than any other country except Great Britain and almost as much as that country. This is a great country and can afford a great navy, and the world must know that we are at all times ready for war.
 we are at peace with ali countries. We wish to continue and will continue in that happy relation if honest diplo- macy and just regards for the rights of every nation will maintain peace, but we must provide navy so as to provide for war. If we are strong we shall never have to do 1t. Let ws, then, be backed with God and with the sea which he hath given us for defense. In them and ourselves our safety lies.
 "To bring about sea strength be- lieve national honesty at home Is most important. We must light public dis honesty as if 1t were loathsome dis ease. If money that is appropriated to the building of ships is directed to improper uses, then the United States ships will be as if they were painted coftins."
 In closing MT. Moody referred in a complimentary way to the personnel of the navy.
