Senate Adopts McEnery Phil-
‘ ippine Policy ResolutiOn.
CANAL BILL OFFERED AS A RIDER.
The Supporters Of the Nicaragua
Scheme Are Determined to Over-
ride Mr. Cannon’s Objections and
Pass It at the Present Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.——The'unani-
mous consent agreement reached by the
senate last Saturday to vote yesterday
afternoon on the resolution of Mr. Mc-
Enery (Dem., La.), declaring a. policy
of this government in the Philippines,
was not vacated. In accord with that
agreement the vote was taken on the
resolution at 2:30 yesterday, and it was
adopted—26 to 22. It was noticeable that
several Democrats refrained from vot-
ing. An amendment offered by Mr. Ba-
con (Dem., Ga.) several days ago was
defeated. The vote on the amendment
was a tie—29 to 29—and Vice President
Hobart cast the deciding vote against
the proposition.
The voting was preceded by three
hours and a half of debate, the senate
having convened 'at 11 a. m. in order to
admit of discussion on the resolutions.
Speeches were delivered by Mr. Stewart
(Pop., Nev.), Mr. Bacon (Dem., Ga.),
Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass), Mr. Hale (Rep.,
Me.) and Mr. Mason (Rep., 1115.). The
speeches of Mr. Hoar and Mr. Hale were
notable utterances. They defended the
positions they had taken on the Philip—
pine question, and Mr. Hale drew a dark
picture of the United States in the is-
lands. °
The McEnery resolution reads as fol-
lows:
“That by the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain it is not intended to
incorporate the inhabitants of the Phil-
ippine Islands into citizenship of the
United States, nor is it intended to per-
manently annex said islands as an in-
tegral part of the territory of the Unit-
ed States, but it is the intention of the
United States to establish on said _is-
lands a government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inhabitants
of said islands to prepare them for 10—
cal self government and in due time to
make such disposition of said islands
as will best promote the interests of the
citizens of the United States and the
inhabitants of said islands.”
In the house the Nicaragua canal bill
was offered as an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill by Mr.
Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the com-
mittee that reported it, and the leaders
on the respective sides are engaged in
a desperate struggle which involves the
fate of the measure at this session of
congress. After Mr. Cannon, chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
served notice last week that there was
no time for the consideration of the ca-
nal bill at this session the supporters of
the measure determined to force it on
to the sundry civil bill as a rider if pos-
sible. As soon as it was offered yester-
day Mr. Cannon made four points of or-
der against it, and one of the most in-
teresting parliamentary contests of the
session was on. As a. rule the appeals
of the house leaders are able to hold the
members in line, but strong arguments
are adduced in slipport of the perti—
nency of the amendment, and besides
the bill has strong friends on both sides
of the chamber, who are seemingly
readyl. lo adopt any expedient to provide
for the construction of the canal. The
debate on the points of order lasted two
hours yesterday and was not concluded.
It promises to consume several hours
today. It seems to be a foregone conclu-
sion that the chairman of the commit-
tee of the whole, Mr. Hopkins of Illi-
nois, will sustain the points of order, so
that the real test will come upon the
question of overruling the chair. Should
the chair be overruled there is no doubt
that the amendment will command a
majority of votes. About 20 pages 'of the
bill were disposed of yesterday. No im-
portant amendments were adopted.
The Nicaragua Rebellion.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Galves-
ton, Feb. 15.—In spite of numerous ob-
stacles. chief among them being the
want of telegraphic communication and
of roads, except mule patches, between
Managua and Bluefields, President Ze-
laya is actively organizing to suppress
the revolution that has broken out in
the Atlantic coast provinces. Fighting
between the government troops and the
rebels under General J. P. Reyes, for-
mer governor general of the Atlantic
coast division and self styled general
in chief of Nicaragua. will probably
begin in the tropical forests between
the Cordilleras and Bluefields.
Carlist Hopes Waning.
LONDON, Feb. 15.—The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times, in a careful let-
ter regarding the prospect of a Carlist
rising, says: “The chances of success
are now very small and daily becoming
smaller. It is unlikely that any portion
of the army. even of the repatriated
troops, would support Don Carlos. All
his efforts, by promises, pledges of min-
ing and other royalties in Spain andof-
,fers of Carlist patents of nobility, have
' failed to raise a loan.” The Times pub-
lishes also a. letter from an Englishman
residing in Barcelona, which is much to
the same effect.
Guarded Lincoln’s Remains.
BUFFALO, Feb. 15.——One of this city’s
best known residents and a representa-'
tive of a distinguished family, passed
_ away yesterday. in the death of Oliver
Hazard Perry Champlin. Mr. Champlin
was the oldest son of Commodore Ste-
phen Champlin, U. S. N.. who took part
in the battle of Lake Erie as a sailing
master. He was born in Lebanon, Com,
in 1818. Mr. Champlin was a member of
the Old Union Continentals and with
them stood guard over the body of Abra—
ham Lincoln when it lay in state here,

‘~ ml: STORM ABATES.
It Was a Record Breaker In Many
states-
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The storm oi
.wind and snow passed out to sea yes-
terday morning, and its departure was
marked by a rise in temperature from
8 degrees at midnight to 16 degrees at
sunrise. A bright sky and a marked
decrease in wind velocity sent the tem-
perature to 20 degrees at 10 o’clock, and
there was a general opening up of local
travel. The official weather report
shows that New York city was kindly
treated by the big storm.
Washington is snow bound and wind
ridden in much worse fashion than thi:=
big city. At Jacksonville, Fla., they
can boast of weather that was only 16
degrees above zero and at New Orleans
6 above.
Vicksburg is proud of a :record of 1
degree below and a high rate of wind.
The story of Chicago and other west-
ern cities shows that the blizzard swept
its way clear over the entire country.

terday and a promise from the weather
bureau that it will continue will bring
normal conditions in all the big cities
within a few days and permit the mov-
ing of freight and rapid transit of pas-
sengers. .

Niagara River Frozen Over.
BUFFALO, Feb. 15.-—A special to The

years the Niagara river from Lewiston
to Youngstown is frozen over. No re-
ports have been had of anybody cross-
ing as yet. The river from the base of
the falls to Lake Ontario is now a mass
of ice with the exception of the rapids.
It is a most unusualpccurrencc.”
Cattle Lost In the Storm.
DALLAS, Feb. 1.5.-——Reports from all
over north Texas are that the blizzard
of Saturday and Sunday was the most
severe in the history of the state. Loss
of cattle in the Indian Territory and on
the Panhandle ranges will likely be very
large, though accurate figures are not
’ yet forthcoming.
Five Below In North Carolina.
CHARLOTTE, N. 0., Feb. 15.—-The
weather bureau here reports the tem-
perature dropped to 5 degrees below
zero. For an hour yesterday there was

Standard Oil’s Answer.
- COLUMBUS, 0., Feb. 15.—The Stand-
ard Oil company yesterday filed its an-
swer to the ouster petition of Attorney
General Monnett, denying all the aver-
ments of the attorney general. The com-
pany sets up the averment that the act
under which the action of the state is
brought is unconstitutional and assigns
six reasons therefor. The defendants
decline to verify their answer as the ad-
mission of certain facts might subject
the company and its officers to criminal
or penal conviction. '

journment before ,or at least by April 1..
