Hundreds of Millions Unanimously Appro-
priated. l\Ir. Allen Thanks President
HcKinlcy. Discussion Occupied Less
Than Twenty liliuutcs.
Washington D. C. Dec. 16.-—The
House yesterday took up the pension
appropriation bill, after adopting the
conference report on the bill extending
the marine inspection laws to sailing:
vessels of seven hundred tons and over
and providing for the licensing of sec
0nd and third mates.
Mr. Barney, Republican of VViscon-
sin, in charge of the pensions appro-
priation bill, explained its provisions.
Mr. Allen, Democrat of Mississippi, of
the appropriations commivtttee, said
that when he first came to Congress,
fourteen years ago, the pension appro-
priation bill invariably precipitated a
bloody shirt discussion. He congrat-
ulated the country that Congress had
progressed since then, and that there
would be no acrimonious debate on this
bill. The country had the gratifying
information that the pension roll had
reached the maximum.
“And I congratulate the country for
this,” said Mr. Allen, “that while one
of the most gallant and desperate sol—
diers of the Confederacy (himself)
helped to report thisbill, the presi—
dent of the United States is down in
Dixie doing honor to the Confederate
dead. We all have cause to rejoice."
(Laughter and applause.)
There was no further debate. The
bill was read through without a word
of criticism and passed, the entire time
occupied in its discussion being less
than twenty minutes.
Ths is the shortest time on record
for a. general pension bill. The bill
carries $145,233,830. ‘
CRITICISED THE KAISER.
l‘he Socialistlc Leader ‘in the Rpichstag
Says Hard Things.
Berlin, Dec. 16.—-During the debate
on the estimates in the reichstag yes-
terday Herr Bebel, the Socialist lead-
er, expressed satisfaction at the re-es-
talblishment of good relations between
Great Britain and Germany.
He also criticised Emperor William’s
home policy, saying that it was a pity
the revenues of the German empire
were swallowed up by the army, the
navy and the colonies, and. that he un-
derstood there was an intention in in-
fluential quarters to introduce a. still
larger naval programme.
Continuing, Herr Bebe] referred to
the expulsions from Prussia, contrast-
ing them with the conciliatory utter-
ances of Emperor W‘llliam in the
Church of the Redeemer of Jerusalem.
Herr Bebel then proceeded to criticise
the imperial remarks, amid considera-
ble uproar and cries of “Shame!” Fi-
nally he was called to order.

AGONCILLO TALKS BIG.
Spain’s Cesslon of the Philippines Volt?
4 and Illegal.
London, Dec. 16.—Agoncillo, the rep-
resentative of Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader in the Philippine islands, sails
for New York on Saturday, to, he al-
leges, “resume his duties as represent—
ative of the Filipino government at
\Vashington.”
In an interview he made the follow:
ing statement: ,
“The only portion of the Spanish—
American treaty which we are concern-
ed in is the cession of the Philippines,
which is illegal, as the Spaniards lost
their sovereignty over the islands and
the Americans cannot dispose of the
future of the archipelago without con—
sul-ting the Filipinos. Their consent, by
popiilar vote, is necessary. As un-iver-
sal suffrage forms the basis of the
American constitution, the United
States cannot but carry out this meas-
ure. , .
“The result of the peace commission’s
deliberations is only satisfactory; to us
inasmuch as Spain is turned out of
the Philippine islands. I do not know
officially why the Filipinos have not
released the Spanish. prisoners. I tele-
graphed to Aguinaldo on the subject.
and I hereby declare it to be untrue
that they are held for ransom.
“I can only regard the possible ev—
entual sale of the islands as being
nonsensical. My countrymen will re-
sist to the bitter end any attempt to
sell the Philippines to a. foreign pow-
er; .
“We are. anxious to be united and
allied to our good friends, the Ameri-
cans; but beyond this we are determ-
ined at all hazards to remain indepen-
dent.”
HAVANA STREET RAILROAD SOLD.
“'ork Stopped on Railroad
sions.
Havana, Dec. 16.—At a-general meet-
ing of. the stockholders of the Ferro
Carril Urbano yesterday the sale of
the entire stock, amounting to 1,600,000,
was authorized at 92. ‘
Half of this amount was taken by
George W. Young, president of the
United States Mortgage and Trust
Company; Senator Smith of New Jer-
sey, Percival Farquhar, F. S. Pearson,
Colonel G. B. M. Harvey and Hanson
Brothers of Montreal. The other half
was taken by Ruffe & Sons and T. W.
Todd, bankers, of London.
Captain General Castellanos has is-
sued an order stopping work on the
railroad corcessions, without prejudice
to the rights of any of the parties in-
terested, until the Americans take con-
trol here.
This prevents the American Indies
Company from beginning the construc-
tion of a. street railroad under the dis-
puted De la Torre concession.
Captain McCullagh’s police plan will
embrace precinct station houses, if he
can get money enough to rent them.
The force will probably consist of 1,200
men and a. detective bureau. Ex-po-
licemen will be used as far as possi-
ble.

Killed by Avalanches. ,
Victoria, B. 0., Dec. 16.—The steam-
er Danube, arriving from Lynn Canal.

sured that at least fifteen or twenty
persons had lost their lives on the rail-
way sincc the opening of winter.
A number of deaths are also spoken
of as having occurred on the trail to
Bennett, only one, however, being posi~
tively confirmed. '
In this case the victim was a. man
named Ferrow, a packer, who was
found frozen to death on the sum—

The Attitude of the Czar.
London, Decv. 16.———W’illiam T. Stead,
writing with reference to his recent
visit to St. Petersburg, says that the
czar is entirely animated by good will
for Great Britain, and that he brought
from India genuine admiration for
British colonial administration.
“But,” the czar is said to have sor—
rowfully observed, “colonization some-
times reduces itself to supplying na-
tives with alcohol and other demoraliz—
ing agents.” .
The czar, it also appears, regards
the partition of China with a feeling
of horror, and he is said to have as-
serted that Russia only occupied Port
Arthur under bitter necessity and in
order to forestall German and Britis
designs. .

vented from doing so by Danish gov-
