SENATOR CARTER OBJECTS

Is is Thought That the Matter May be
Eixed Up in Executive Session and an
.kgrcement Reached to Vote on All

Washington, D. 0., Feb.
been practically agreed among the
friends of the pending peace treaty
that they \\ 111 concede to the mi. 101itv
the passage of some docla1at01y 11:50-
Eution which shall not be explicit
enough to change the situation but
may allay the feelings of a small 31 cup
of doubtful senators whose votes are
necessary for ratification. thn the
ag: cement was made to Vote on the
t1caty on F1 b1 nary 6. the adml .i: tra—
t'ion supportcus priV at: ly dCLw'lucd that
they would yield nothing, eilhm in thu-
‘way of amendincnt 01 of accompc filly-
Eng resolution.

.- nyhing, and that what thcy field will
I : meaningless, but that if so much as
..1ey are willing to concede 1romises
:o make a few votes fox th t1e;'1t;.,
they do not object.
The Senate committee on foreign rc-
lations yesterday discsussed the vari-
ous declaratory resolutions before tl1~--
Senate in connection with the treaty
and decided not longer to oppose the
taking of a vote upon any one of them.
They count upon having all the reso-
lutions except that Offered by Mr. Sul-
liven, voted down. They will not op—
pose the Sullivan resolution, and it
now looks as if it would be adopted.
The resolution reads:
The ratification of the pending treaty
with Spain shall in no wise determine
the policy to be pursued by the United
States in regard to the Philippines, nor
shall it commit this government to a
colonial policy, nor is it intended to
embarrass the establishment of a sta—
ble independent government by the:
people of these islands, Whenever con-
ditions make such proceeding hopeful
of successful and desirable results.
Senator Lindsay Democrat of Ken-
tucky, however, introduced resolutions
yesterday which several of the doubt-
ing ones regard with more favor than
Mr. Sullivan's manifesto.
As the Senate now stands, and very
z-arefu-l pollings have been made, nei-
ther side 'is able to count the necessary
number of unwavering supporters. The
administration forces are lining up
fifty-six or fifty-eight senators. They
deny that the opposition has thirty-one
senators on its list. The outcome rests
with a few men, and may depend upon
the character of the concession. Both
sides claim an easy victory. The
friends of the treaty, how-Over, declare
that they will not go far in the way of
compromise, with the bright prospecm
'susfnre them in an extra sc5slon.
31. vote on the reference of the Bacon
risolutions “relative to the acquisition
of foreign territory,” was callcd for in
Senate, after a speech by Senator
Rawllns against expansion. ‘
Mr. Chandler. Republican of New
Hampshire. asked and obtained unan-
Enlons consent to withdraw his motion
to refer.
Mr. Bacon, Democrat of Georgia,
then delivered a brief argument in fa-
Tul‘ of voting directly upon the adop-
tion of the resolutions, and at once
Mr. Davis, Republican of Minnesota,
consented as leader of the Republican
5 tie on foieign questions. .
This. .‘f comse, was understood to
indicate a realization on the part of
the friends of the treaty that it would
be necessary to conciliate the other
side- before submitting the treaty itself .
to a vote in executive session. 1
The floor of the Senate rapidly filled 1
up. but it was then discovered that I
the hour of two was so near at hand
that the roll call could not be com— i
pleted by that time, so Mr. Bacon ‘
asked Ulla: iinous consent that the re
olu tlors and all amendments be voted
upon Lo- day immediately upon the
comlmiln of the morning business.

tel-day, their; was a discussion of then
recent gambling scandals in Berlin and .
Hanover, in whit h a number of army '
officers are. implicated. «The minister oi l
“at General \011 Gosslcl, expressed 1
mgret at the occurtl‘ence and said that '
the emperor was proceeding unsparing-
ly against those who weie concerned
in the scandals in Oldel to uproot thc
all.
As a matter Of fact. he added. gam-
bling in the almy had decreased and
the expediency was being considered of
mmpelllng Officers to inform the au-
thorities in the event of their receiving
offers Of money.
These were often of a shameless.
character. and even emanated from
abroad being made to induce Officers
to gamble.
The authorities also intend. he said,
that the military (adcts should be se-
riously enlightened regarding the dam.
gers besetting them.

THE ISLAND OF LUZON.
Two Naval Officers Report on the Condi-
tions as They Exist in the Interior. A
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 2.-—-A clear
and accurate picture of conditions as
they exist in the interior of Luzon, the
largest of the Philippine group, with
an area equalling that of the state of
Virginia, is set out in a. report made
to the navy department by Paymastcr
W. B. Wilcox and Cadet R. L. Sar-i
gent, who explored the island last Oc-
tober and November.
They were forced to go on foot the
of the bad roads.
Labor is cheap, men working usu-
ally for less than ten cents a. day. The
only form of agriculture encouraged at
present in some provinces is rice grow-
ing, but in others tobacco is grown in
large quantities. The land is very
rich. There are practically no cattlé
in one province visited, but a great
number Of buffalo.
The two officers found that in many
places Spaniards had told the natives
that the Americans would come to
conquer them and that they would
find themselves in worse hands than
before they rebelled against Spain.
Spanish prisoners seemed to be well
treated.
In the river Magat and the Rio
G1 ande dc Cagayan many alligators
wele seen. The natives hold them in
great fear. ‘
The trip was an extremely hazard—
ous one and in many provinces the
natives were distrustful of the visit
of the American officers.
Evidences of gold and other minerals
were seen at many places.

“'on’t Leave Till ”March.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 2.—Secreta-
ry Alger has not changed his plans
for a trip to Cuba and Porto Rico in
March. The announcement that he
proposed to go 011 the Berlin today was
incorrect, as the secretary has decid-
ed positively not to leave until after
the adjournment of the present session
of Congress.

to-day for Santiago on her regular trip
and carried a number of persons who
are anxious to be in Cuba when the
men arrive for the work of exhuming
the bodies of dead American soldiers.
All arrangements have been perfected
for the departure this afternoon of the
Romania, and the vessel will proceed
direct to Ponce, Porto Rico, and will
then go to Santiago.

inspection by a physician, and the in—
terior of it will be in view of persons
outside.

placed that it will be possible for any
person who may return to conscious-
ness to give an alarm

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
[low That Philosopher Gave Relief to I
Poverty-Stricken Couple.
“I was an eye witness,” said one Of
a party, “of an occurrence that would
have been regarded as remarkable had
I not understood it. Late one after-
noon I was sitting 011 a bench, in Mad-
ison square. On another bench near
by were a man and woman, both
young. The man was thin and pale,
and I gathered from such of his talk
as I overheard. that he. was recovering
from a long illness. that the woman
was his wife. and that they were in
desperate need of money.
"George It'llncis Train came along
and sat down beside me on the bench.
I know him well and told him about
the young people and their troubles.
Presently he went on his way and I
saw him go into a store on the south
side of the square. A few minutes
later he came back to the young cou-
ple. As he. passed them :1 showcrof
gold and silver coin dropped from his
pocket. directly at their feet. jingling
musically on the asphalt. Mr. Train
walked right along, paying no heed.
The young man sprang up and called
Mr. Trujn‘s attention to his loss, say-
ing. ‘You’ve dropped a lot of money,
sir.‘ ‘You’re very much mistaken,
young man.‘ Train replied. and he
walked rapidly away.
The young people were utterly
dumbfounded. and. after they had
gathered up the, coins, seriously talk.
ed of turning the money over to the
police. Fearing that they would real-
ly be so foolish, I went to them and
advised them to keep the wealth, as
the man :who had dropped the money
had a way of doing just such eccen-
tric things, which he could well at-
ford, as he possessed a great fortune.
Thev left the square soon after with
smiling fates.
“T1 nin undoubtedly had gone to a
store, obtained a lot of coin, cut the
lining of his coat pocket, holding the
2111) together with his hands to keep
the. coin within until he reached the
young couple. when he let go and the
coin fell at their feet. It was his way
of helping them without cmbar-nssing
them with an offer of charity.”—

Food and Drink in ()ne.
According to tradition' the discovery
and use of pulquc in Mexico‘daltc's
from the eleventh century.
l’ulque is both a food and a drink.
and among the. poor it forms a very
important addition to: the frijolcs.
tortillas and ('llile. making up their
limited fare. In employing a Mexican
servant, a few con-ts a day for 1‘11“
purchase of pilque is generally allow-
ed by the mistress of the house. A
Mexican can do with littlc'clo’tllim:
and scanty fare, but life is a thirst-
panged desert if the usual allowance
of pulque is interfered with. It pos-
sesses large medicinal properties, not-
ing in a beneficial way upon the.
digestion, blood, nerves and system
in genci al; but if‘used to excess it
finally dulls the intellect and makes]
one drowsy and stupid.
One hundred thousand quarts a day
is the average consumption of pul-
que in the City of Mexico alone. and
special trains are regularly employed-
in the carrying trade between tli
maguev plantations and the city mar
