smouldering An Argument for the Ratification of the Treaty. OUR DUTY TO THE FILIPINOS Favors Ultimate Philippine Independence —A Responsibility Tl‘at Cannot. be Shirked—Scnatc Discusses IVIoti‘nn to Discuss it “Lith 0an Doors. Washington. D. C., Jan. 25.--In the Senate yesterday Mr. Lodge, Republi— can of Maesachusetts,‘delivered hlS previously announced speech on the Vest anti—expansion resolution. He said: “I believe that the United States has the undoubted power, which it has frequently exercised; to acquire terri- tory and to hold and govern it. I am ready to admit, if necessary, that ac- tion in these directions must be taken for constitutional purposes, but the constitutionality of the purposes must be determined by Congress itself through its majority. I believe that the power of the United States in any tor-" ritory or possession outside the limits of the states themselves is absolute, with the single exception of the limi— tation pIacc-d upon such o‘u‘tside pos- sessions by the thirteenth amendment. Such, at all events, has been the pol- icy of the United States and its course of act-ion in practice. “We must either ratify the treaty or reject it, for I cannot suppose that _ any one would seriously advance the proposition that we shouldam-end the treaty in such a way as to make pled- ges -to Spain, and to Spain alone, and give bonds to Spain, and to Spain alone for our good conduct in the matter hich will be wholly our own to de- ide. Suppose we ratify the treaty. _l he islands pass from, the possession nf Spain into our possession without ommitting us to any pol-icy. I be- lieve we can be trusted as a people to oeal honestly and justly with the is- ands and their inhabitants (thus giv- -n’to our care. ”VVhat our policy then shall be I do 0t know, but I believe that We shall ave the wisdom not to attempt to in— orporate those islands with our body .olitic, or make their inhabitants part f our citizenship, or set their labor longside of ours and within our tariff o compete in any industry with Am- rican workmen. I believe that we hall have the courage not to depart rom those islands fearfully, timidly -nd unworthily, and leave them to .:narchy among themselves, to the urief and bloody domination of some elf-constituted dictator, and to the ouick conquest of other powers, who ill have no such hesitation as we : ould feel in crushing them into sub- ectlon by harsh and repressive meth— ads. It is\’for us to decide the destiny If the Philippines, not for Europe, and . e can do it alone and without assist- nee. I believe that we shall have the isdom, the self-restraint, and the bility to restore peace and order .in hose islands and give to their people 11 opportunity for self government nd for freedom under the protecting hield of the United States until the ime shall come when they can stand lone.” Mr. Clay of Georgia, one 'of the Iemocratic senators who expects to ate for the ratification of the treaty f peace, also addressed the Senate on he general question of territorial ex- ansion. He made it very clear that othing should be allowed to stand in he way of prompt ratification of the eace treaty, but that this govern- ent should hold out to the Philip- ines the same promise of ultimate in- ependence that is held out to the Cu- ans. . Mr. Davis, who is in charge of the eace treaty, and had been on his feet or half an hour to move the consid- ration of executive business, insisted n his motion, and at 2.30 o’clock the cars were closed. After disposing of some nominations, 0 which there was no objection, the reaty was taken up. The discussion, owever, was not on its merits, but pen the pending motion offered some ime ago by Mr. Berry of Arkansas to onduct the debate on the treaty in pen session. There is a prevailing impression, rising from some unapparent cause, at the peace treaty cannot be rati- ed at this session, and that an extra ession of the Senate after March 4 is lready a foregone conclusion. 'One reason given for this somewhat rprising change in the Situation of. week ago is that some of the Repub— can senators wish to have an extra ssion of both houses in the interest r certain plans of their own, and that eY are therefore not alarmed or rieved at the outlook for the success ' the Opponen s of ratification. An— her rumor has been in circulation for 6 past day or two to the effect that e president, for various reasons, was at particularly anxious for ratifica- on at this season. _ Scandal is Feared. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.--In the mate yesterday Mr. Gallinger of New ampshire, through a. resolution which had passed, intimated that there ight be a scandal in connection with e management of the W’ashington sylum of‘this city, the responsibility r which he placed at the doors of ongress.

In the orkhouse for males there were 216 nks and 314 inmates. He deemed the tuation to be a. disgrace to VVash- gton and calculated to bring re- oach upon Congress. Shot by a Burglar.

London, Jan. 25.--The Filipino junta has received a cable message from Agoncillo, Aguinaldo’s representative at Washington, declaring that the prospects were improving, though the work was difficult. . ' The absence of direct news from Manila and the receipt of secret intel— ligence from Washington are causing the greatest anxiety among the Fili- pinos here. l ,- The arrests of natives by Major Gen- eral Otis and the news that numbers of Filipinos have fled are _regarded« as very serious occurrences. The Filipi- nos say this is exactly what happened in 1896 under General Blanco, and on the following day the revolution broke out. - The iriembers of the junta here say they cabled to Manila yesterday_‘urg- ing the Filipinos “not to start Hostili- ties if there is the remotest possibility of avouling trouble.” News from Havana.

This great inventor, the son of a Swedish inventor, was a, man of dar- ing and extreme. sensitivencss, due, it is believed, to ‘ physical ill-health. While his dynamite was distrusted he did the most reckless things with it, digging a quantity of the dangerous substance, for instance, out of a cask with a knife; yet “he was particularly susceptible to'headaches caused by bringing nibroglycerime into contact with‘the skin; they affected mm so vi- olently that he was often obliged 'to lie down on the ground in the mine or quarry in which he was cikperiment- lug.” He was :1 man of vast reading and much poetic feeling. being, more- over, so fastidious that he never could find a wife whom he thought up. to his intellectual level. He was deeply disappointed by not being made a Fellow of the Royal So- ciety,’ and bad, evidently, in his no; ture an elem: ut of whimsicality which his great wmlth. not all' made from dynamite, for he was at Baku a'greal petroleum dealer, enabled him ' to gratify. “Being very nervous, and tlr- ing of the pictures around him, he- had made an arrangement with one of the largest picture dealers in Paris by which he could select any pictures he liked and have them hung on his walls. As soon as he was tired of one set he sent them back to the dealer and selected others in their stead.” He was the inventor of cordite, and died in 1896 at the age of 63, leaving his large fortune for the diffusion of sci- entific ins(motion—London Specta- tor. , \ / Betrotllals Tn Spain. A curious custom obtains in some portions of Spain in regard to be- trothals.

At the last all he leaves his walking stick, and ’if he is to win the desired bride. tin- cuue is handed to him when he calls again. Brut if he is not regarded with favor the cone is thrown into the street and in this way the young man is made to understand that further calls will be useless Human nature is so constituted that all see and judge better in: the affairs of others than in their own. §= '31:!th ' - 'llh' 1’71 FEW. ”l l Mrs. Pinchers (indignantly)——Why are you moving those umbrellas; do you think the guests would steal them?
