For an hour today - day Wellington of Maryland occupied the attention of the sonnies conllnulng Ihe debalc on Iho Philippine qucsllon. IIo look as the text of his debate the resolution he Intro duced last Tuesday , that the United States should not take possession of Iho archipelago pelage , but after subduing the rebellion which he sincerely deplored should give the Filipinos the. right to govern themselves , af fording them such protection as they mlghl need. Teller resumed his speech on the financial bill , In the course of which he arraigned Secretary Gage for his negotiations will the National City bank of New York. He had not concluded his remarks when he sus pended them for the day. By special order It was 1 o'clock when the senate convened , .the delay being on account of the cormonles attendant upon the unveiling - veiling of the Webster stalue.

In accordance with previous notice at thi conclusion of routine business Wellington o Maryland addressed thp Benalo on Ihe Phil Ipplne question. The text of his spceh wa ; the Joint res lutlon which ho introduced o : I Tuesday last declaring that it Is not the pur pose of Iho United States to deprive thi Filipinos cf their right of self-governmen and the war now being waged Is not for thi permanent possession of the Islands , but fo : the establishment of peace and order , am further declaring that the.

MnithenvBon , agent of the Omaha and Wlunebago Indians In Thurston county , Nob. , Is In the city on business with Ute Interior Department. C.iptaln Matthew- son. In speaking of thu morale of his agency , said ! "Thcro Is a noticeable Increase In drunken- lass among our Indians since the Depart ment of Jubilee decided to do away with field deputies connected with the United Stnti-s marshal's ofllce of Nebraska. When field deputies were around looking up salca of lltiuor to It-dlnns and prompt prosecu tion followed the Indians were afraid to purchase or use firewater and consequently the condition of our Indians was greatly Improved In the last two months. lloAOVtr. I have poem the Indians steadily going back to their former condition before wh.it Is known as thu Mclklcjohn act became a. law and some drastic courfo Is demanded to rescue them. 1 believe , the Department of Justice iiindn a great mistake In removing tp ! | field deputies In Nebraska nnd 1 shall mr\o ! ! it my business to tell Attorney Gcn- rinl GrlRgs wl.U the condition : ! arc under the existing law. "As to the opposition of the Indian ofllce to rebuilding the Wlnncbago school on the rn'orvatlon , 1 hope to show Commissioner Jones the necessity for such n building and that the Idea which seemingly obtained that the Indians should contribute to the support of the common schools of the country , as they largely patronl/i- them , Is not In ac cordance with the faclH. A new school building la Imperatively necessary on the Wlnnchago icservotlon to tnko the place ol the ono burned down nnd 1 hope the In dian appropriation bill will provide for re building the one destroyed. " Colonel Clapp of the Pine Hldge , S. D. agency , Is in the city , conferlng with the Indian ollicc regarding affairs at Pine nidge , It Is ri'derstood he has reiterated his Inten tion of retiring from the Indian service i.t the cud of the present fiscal year. Colons ! Clapp has made a suggestion In connection with his proposed retirement which hat aroused the Ire of South Dakota republicans nnd excited some comment In the depart ment. He nRks that he be permitted tc name his successor. Another C'liiiiion for Oniiiliii.

These cannon were captured ni Santiago and are similar to the one now li Hanscom park , Omaha. These cannon wil be turned over to the mayors of Omaha nm Lincoln , who will probably turn them eve : to the park commissioners of the " citle : namad for final disposition.

Jan. IS. Henry K. Car roll , special commissioner for the United Stnles to I'uerlo Hlco under appointment by the president to Investigate the civil , Industrial - trial , financial and social conditions of the Island , has made his report. The report states that Puerto Hlco Ins an area estimated til from 3,150 to 3,800 square miles. The climate Is tropical , but not torrid. The thermometer rarely rises to 100 degrees , the highest monthly averse on record In nlue years In San Juan being S(5 ( degrees. The mountains are generally cov ered with verdure , and even the pcalu are gardens of the husbandman. The death rate Is moderate. Yellow fever Is now Indigenous , but smallpox sometimes bcoomcn epidemic. The health bill of 1'ucrto Hlco , however , will compare favorably with that of countries In the temperate zone. The population In 1897 numberpJ 890,820 , ex clusive of the Spanish military then occupy ing the Island nnd the penal population. A comparison of the census of 1887 and ISO" shows that the colored race Is decreasing , the whites uow numbering Gl per cent of the whole. The Catholic was the state reli gion nnd at the time of the American occu pation there were only two churches rf any other faith in the Island. There was one. Protestant Episcopal church In Ponce and another at Isabel II , In the Island of Vloqucs. The public charities arc few and poorly sup ported. Crime Is not excessive. The statlstlcH of births In 1S97 shows that about 48 per cent are Illegitimate. At most of the hearings held by thu commissioner persons Insisted that the fees exacted by the priests were too heavy for poor people , who preferred living together iimvcddod than to meet nil the conditions of ecclesias tical marriage. These persons , It ivas slid , are rarely untrue to each other. I'lierto II Ira lift Very Soolalile. The Puerto Hlcans , the report says , are n kindly , hospitable , polite people , very so ciable and always ready to do Americans a fricudly service. Ono of the greatiBt needs of the Island , It Is said , Is good roads. This Is of the high est Importance and affects .ill human Inter ests social , educational , Industrial , com mercial and political. The common estimate of Puerto means la that only one-tenth of the cultlvatablc lauds are In actual cultivation at any one tlmo. The soils of the plalna nnd valley ? 'ire ' Kenurally very rich and have bouit crops for generations without thr use ol fertilizers. The ciops most generally ralscO aro. In the order of areas occupied In 1SDO : Coffee , 121,170 acres ; cane , 00,881 acres ; tobacco , 4,222 acres. Coffee cannot be ralacc' without shade , as In Brazil. The coffci bushes need five jeari for full development under the shade of banana or other trees and continue bearing twenty-live nnd over fifty years. Banana trees give both shade anc , fiult the first year. Coffee farms are ex- | unpt from taxes the Hist five years. The I grades of coffee are among the finest. Tht 1 fruits of the Island arc- such as are com- n'on to tropical countries. The raising o ! entile Is an Important and lucrative In dustry. The dally wages ot the common field laborer range from 35 cents to 5t ctntb. Women are rarely seen In the fields The ppoplo are Industrious.
