MATTER or” Potter EURELY
Says “'0 Should Not Retain the Philip-
pines—Nominations Prevent Considera-
of the Peace Treaty—'EPI'omotions for
Sampson and Schley. I I. .
Washington, D. .. Jan. -24.—-Soon af:
ter the Senate convened yesterday Mr.
White, Democrat of California addres—
sed the Senate in advocacy of Mr.
Vest’s anti-expansion resolution. He
said that senators should ask them-
selves the question: “Shall we acquire-
the Philippine islands under the con-
ditions now confronting us? Is it bet-
ter that we shall do so?”
f‘Each senator should endeavor to
impress on the Senate the fact that
_. Charity begins at home, and that if,
We have erected a nation of which, We
are liroud, it is our duty solemnly and
posiilvely to see that it remains pure,.
and -hat it be not tainted by a hetero-
genous compound of inefficient hu—
maxity. I '1 7 {a
‘ i care not,” 'Mr. Whit-e continued,
“whether or not these people are-“fit-
ted for free government. If they are,
tl-ey should be permitted to exercise
their rights and' to establish a free.
government. If they are .not,‘ they
should not be brought in alliance with
- us; we do not want them.”
Contradictory statements, Mr. White
said, had been made about the inten—
tions of the administration in the mat—
ter of expansion, but in his mind there
ums no COHCIUSRLII possible except that
it was the intention, object and aim of
the present administration and of
fir-Se backing it, to annex the Philip-
pine islands permanently.
Mix White took occasion to refer to
. a remark. of Air. Chandler that the pol»-
,/
icy toward the Filipinos should be one
9f benevolent assimilation. _Mr. White
explained that the dictionary gave the
meaning'of. the .word not as absorp-
tion. but as bringing to a resemblance
or likeness. J ’ _
“If the senator‘fro‘m New Hamp‘
shire,” Mr. W'hite suggested: “absorbs
a. broiled lobster, he assimilates it; that,
is, he ‘Ought' to.” *
“The senator from California does
not notice 'the different meanings of
the word," said Mr. ,Chandler. “Un-
doubtedly the president thinks—"
“Does the senator speak for the pres-
ident?” Mr. White broke in. ,
“Undoubtedly the president thinks as
I do,” Mr. Chandler replied, “if he is
a. wise man; and I think he is. The
president thinks we ought to bring
these people into a reasonable likeness
to us, but not necessarily to incorpoJ
rate them, and I hope the senator will
not‘lay too mpch stress on the use of
the» phrase ‘benevolent assimilatibn.’ ”
“I trust,” Mr. \Vhite said, “that the
intention of the president. and of the
senator from’New Hampshire is to
beautify and soften and assimilate
that alien race. Perhaps the senator
has reference to a. state of affairs that
will result from alh experiment of a
century or two, when, through contact
and otherwise, the Filipinos may be
made more nearly homogeneous with
us.” _ - ‘
At the conclusion of Senator White’s.
< speech Mr. Hale, Republican of Maine.
made an effort to proceed with one of
the appropriation bills, but Mr. Davis,
Republican of Minnesota, insisted on
a motion to go into executive session
for the purpose of considering the tre'a-
ty of peace, and that motion was, at
2.15 p. m., agreed to.
Although Chairman Davis asked for
an executive session for the purpose of
considering the treaty of peace, the
first business done behind closed doors
was the confirmation of nominations
to which there was no ojection, the
usual proceeding. ' .
After t'hcse nominations were dig-
posed of. a effort, .was made to secure
action on the IromotiOns of Commo—
dores Sampsn and Schley to rear ad-
mirais.
The debate on the merits of the two
‘ officers so occupied the Whole of the
session that the consideration of the
treaty Was notreached efore adjourn-

. - 'gOUKHOBORsn’LAND.*-;_
‘St. fohn, N. B.ff, Jan. 24.--The larg:
est party of immigrants ever landed
at a. canadian port came ashore from
the Beaver liner Lake Huron"yester-
day afternoon, when 2,300 Doukhobors.
put their feet on Canadian soil. .
The steamer had 'tOuched at Halifax.
and given a. clean hill of health, but to l
guard against any possibility of dis-
eaSe, she was.stopped at quarantine.
The ship’s doctor reported all well and
at four o’clock she was docked.
'The immigrants were sent‘ashOre in
divisions of 450 and placed in the sheds,
whereE'they got all the food required.
While the children were entertained by
a. delegation of the St. John Women's
Council. ' - “
The voyage from Halifax occupied
about thirty hours. On the way there
were five marriages, which, with six
on the voyage, makes eleven since the
vessel "left Batoum,~in the latter; ‘part
of December. ' 5
On the arrival of the steamer here
one man was found to be suffering
from pneumonia and he was sent to
the hospital. : -
Both United States and Dominion
government officials agree that no finer
lot of immigrants ever landed in any
port in America. The fact that after
a;twenty-nin_e day voyage no sickness
of consequence developed is conclusiVe
proof of the physical condition of the
men, women and children. “
Prince Hilkoff expressed himself de—
lighted with all the arrangements and
said he would never forget the kind-
ness of the Canadian people.
The Lake Superior, with tWO/“thou-
sand more Doukhobors is due in about
ten days. A
Every family has one hundred and
sixty acres of land, a shanty and a
number of farm implements given to
them by the-Dominion government. In
addition they are provided with com—
fortable quartersuntii the advent of

PEACE TREATY TO GO OVER.
Cannot Get a Vote and an Extra Session
May be Called to Act.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 24.--Tho
peaCe treaty ”will probably go over un-
til an extra session. '-
The leaders find that they cannot get
a. vote at this session without making
impossible cOncession's, and it is also
not certain in‘advance-of a vote how,
many senators would be with them.
"Chairman Davis and his followers
thirds majority Pwhen it came to a final
vote, but cannot now count certainly
in advance on the required three
votes. . ' -
Senator Davis admitted yesterday.a‘f—
ternoon, before he' asked the Senate to
go into executive session; that he fear~
ed he would have to' take .tthe treaty
back to his committee and wait for the
extra session which, the (president is
really to call early in Maren. '
Senator Davis construes the treat,
which he helped to make as unneces—
sary to appropriate the twenty million
dollars for Spain before the regular
session of the next Congress, and says
that it would not be necessary to call
the House also in extra session.
Senator Hale does not want an extra
session, as he has arranged to go to
Europe in the spring. If he and Mr.
Hoar consent to vote for the treaty
there will be no need of; 'an extra ses-
sion or postponing his European trip.
Bodine Drops Dead. V .
MillVille',|N. J., Jan.- 24.--J. Alfred
Bodine, president of the Bodine Glass
Company of Williamstown,. dropped
dead in'the office of his factOry yes-
terday afternoon. -I-Iis death is be-
lieved to have been due to excitement
over the threatened strike 'of'threc
th'busand glass blowrs'and eight thou-
sand other .employe's to-day at this
place, Bridgton, Clayton, Glassboro,
alem, VVilliamstown and other points.
Mr. Bodine was greatly worried over
the coming strike and dreaded it. He.
left his home in Camden in the morn-
ing to go to the factory and his mis—
sion was to endeavor to obtain a’ post-
ponement 'of the strike and see if m,
conference between the men and"their 1
employes could not be arranged. .
The excitement of the situation was
too much for him. He was seventy
years of age and had been engaged in
the glass business for fifty years. He
was through the big strike a few years
ago and knew , what a new strikc‘
meant. I—Ie was‘thought to be favora-
ble to the men. A
Bill to K e“ l’ulygamius Out of Congress

sentative Clark of Iowa yesterday in—
troduced a bill “providing that no po-
lygamist shall be a senator or repre-
sentative.” _ ’ °

ble to be a member of either house of
Congress of| the United States, nor

dence of polygamy shall be “of what-
ever nature that establishes the fact."
Another provision makes the act take
immediate effect.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
Efl'orts to Settle the King'ship Disputem
Powers to Hold Conference. '
Washington, ‘ D. 0., Jan. ' 21.‘--The
state department is directing all its
efforts in the Samoan matter to the
use of lawful and regular means to
settle the kingship dispute. In fact,
it Was its insistence upon the compli-
ance of all of the parties to. the tri-
partite treaty with the terms of that
document so long as it stood unde-
nounced and unamended that has
made its position so strong legally at
this juncture. ' ‘ _ >
There is still a lack of officialfllreports
upon the details of the events at Apia.
A brief statement of these events has
reached the department through the
United States agent at. San Francisco.
.,but so far as can be gathered it is not
yet known just why Chief Justice
Chambers decided that Mataafa, the
German candidate for the succession
to the throne of. Samoa, was ineligible.
It is suspected here that the decision
was based on the use of improper in-“
fiuences by outside but interested par—
ties in the election of the king.
That,'if established, would be sulfi-
cient to disqualify Mataafa under the
strict terms of the treaty, which ex-
pressly provides for an untrammeled
choice by the natives accordng to their
own established customs.
The navy department’s orders to the
Philadelphia did not go out to Admiral
Kautz until yesterday. They were in
the shape of instructions to take on a
full supply of coal and make ready for
a cruise to Samoa. .
There was not an explicit order to
sta1‘t,fl.but simply to make ready for
the'voyage. -. '
If the admiral, as reported-in the
press dispatches, finds that his ship's
.bottom is so foul through her cruise
in southern waters as to be unfit for
the voyage to Samoa, he probably will
be authorized to use divers to clean
the hull, for the department has de-
cided that the ship should not be sent
to the Mare Island navy yard to be
fitted out. g ‘
It is stated here that it must be pre-
sumed that ’whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in ‘Apia
was not with'the knowledge or consent
of his sovereign, but rather was taken
on his own account, and that such ac—
tion, should‘it be found to amount to.
an unjust usurpation of authority un-
der the treaty, Will be promptly disa-
vowed by the German government. It
is believed that the conference of the
three powers will be held at Berlin and
at an early date.
