TH E av-umflm G G r anmu Senator Bacon Asks Action on His Resoluticn. SEN ATOR CARTER OBJECTS Is is Thought. That the Matter May be Fixed Up in Executive Session and an Agreement Reached to Vote on All 13.: soluti. us. Washington. D. C., Feb. 2.--1t has been practically agreed among the friends or the pending peace treaty that they will concede to the minority the passage of some declaratory rose. lution which shall not be explicit enough to change the situation but may allay the feelings of a small group of doubtful senators whose votes are necessary for ratification. When the agreement was made to vote on the treaty on February 6, the administra- ”ion. supporters privately declared that they'would yield nothing, either in the way of amendment or of accompany- ing resolution. To-day they say it is silly to yield an; sing, and that what they yield will be 2.xeaningless, but that if so much as th« ,-' are' willing to concede promises to make a few votes for the treaty, tl y do not object. .‘he Senate committee on foreign re— l’:.tions yesterday discsussed the vari— ous declaratory resolutions before the 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- livan, 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 careful pollings have been made, nei— ther side is able to codnt 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-0f the concession. Both sides claim an easy victory. The friends of the treaty, however, declare that they will not go far in the way of compromise. with the bright prospects before them in an extra session. [1 vote on the reference of the Baccm resolutions “relative to the acquisition of foreign territory," was called for in the Senate, after a speech by Senator Rawllns against expansion. Illr. Chandler, Republican of New Hampshire, asked and obtainedunan- imous consent to withdraw his motion to refer. Mr. Bacon, Democrat of Georgia, then delivered a brief argument in fa- vor of voting directly upon the adop- tion of the resolutions, and at once Mr. Davis, Republican of Minnesota, consented as leader of the Republican side on foreign questions. This, of course, was understood to indicate a realization on the part of the friends of the treaty hat it would be necessary to conciliate the other side before submitting the treaty itself to a vote in executive session. The floor of the Senate rapidly filled up, but it was then discovered that the. hour of two was 'so near at hand that the roll call could not be com— pleted by that time, so Mr. Bacon asked unanimous consent that the res— olutiOi.s atd all amendments be voted ' upon to-dey immediately upon the conclusion of the) morning business. Mr. Carter, Republican of Vermont, thought that it would be a. discourtesy to Senator chrmer. who was to speak to—day, to swee- p away the resolutions which wele to furnish him with a text, so he ills‘sted that Mr. Spooner be per- mitted t7, spl‘aii list, and the vote be taken afterwards. 'l”hel“:u_'lon l‘vll. Davis moved an ex- ecutive Session and the spectators were excluded from the galleries floor. German .1 rmy Scandals. Berlin, Feb. 2.--In the Reichstag yes- terday, there was a discussion of the recent gambling scandals in Berlin and Hanover, in which a number of army officers are implicated. The minister of war, General Von Gossler, expressed regret at the occurrence and said that the emperor was proceeding unsparing- ly against those who were concerned in the scandals in order to uproot the evil. As a matter of fact, he added. gam- bling in the army had decreased and the expediency Was being considered of compelling 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 cadets should be se- riously enlightened regarding the dan- gers besettlng them. Death of a Lawyer from Burns. Wilkesbarre, Pa... Feb. 2.--R.

THE ISLAND OF LUZON. Two Naval Ofllccrs Report on the Condi- tions as They Exist in the Interior. Washington, D. C., 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 Paymaster W. B. Wilcox and Cadet R. L. Sar- gent, who explored the island last Oc- tober and November. They were forced to go on foot the greater part of the distance on account 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 Grande do Cagayan many alligators were seen. The natives hold them in great fear. .- The trip was an extremely hazard- ousone 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 llIarclx. Washington, D.
