Tho icnati a; 1:30. on mjtlon of Mr.
Lodge, went into executive suasion to re
turns consideration of tha llav-Pauucefote
tleaty.
Today's session demonstrated that the
nenate la ready for the vote, which has
been fixed for tonorrow. When the doors
were closed today and Senator Lodgo
called up the treaty no senator evinced a
deslru to speak upon It.
Without making any special request for
speakers Mr. Lodge asked the seuiiti to
take up tho treaty with Jpaln providing
for tho cession to the United States of the
Philippine islands, of Hlbutu und Cayagan.
Zulu, and their dependencies In considera
tion of tho payment to Spain of JlOo.ooo.
Objection to this request was mado by sev
eral senators, Including Senators Hoar nnd
Paeon, and Senator Lodge, with the hope
of removing the objection, went Into a
brief explanation of tho terms. Hu ex
plained that tho islands are comprise! in
tbo Philippine group and said they were
upposed to havo been ceded by Spain
In tho Paris treaty and Out United States
had taken possession of tho islands Jndcr
this supposition. It was soon found, how
ever, that the definite lino of our acquliil
tion fixed by the treaty cut both of them
out. It Is a rule of law, he explained,
that a definite boundary description also
upersedes an Indefinite description. Hence,
In order to leave no doubt of our ownership
tbo treaty for the cession of these Island
had been negotiated and ho believed that
tbo United States would be saved from
much trouble In tho future by consummat
ing tho bargain. lie characterized the pro
ceeding as In tho nature of a quieting title
process. Mr. Lodge also called attention
to the fact that ono of tho Islands la di
rectly on the line of communication with
Ilorneo and tho Straits, and ho drew the
conclusion that somo day It might bo Im
portant as a station.
Senators Hoar and Dacon said they would
llkn to have more time to consider the
question and Senator Wellington made un
qualified objection. Accordingly the treaty
was laid aside for tho time.
HEARING ON THE 0LE0 BILL
Friend nnd Opponents lrrrnt .trull
menu to the Semite
Com mlttce,
WA8HINOTON, Dec. 19. Tho senato com
mltteo on agriculture today began tbo con
sideration of the oleomargarine bill by
hearing persons Interested In tho measure
which recently passed the house.
A largo majority of thoso present were
opponents of tho bill and it was stated that
as the friends of tho measure had not been
heard before the house commltteo they
would bo given the preference In tho pres
ent hearing. Senator Proctor, chairman of
the committee, asked thorn to be as brlof
us possible, no as to allow the commltteo
to conoludu Its labors very soon. The
oleomargarine men generally complained of
having recelvod very short notice and moBt
of them asked for moro time. Hon. M. W.
Springer appeared In behalf of tho National
Live Stock association In opposition to tho
bill. Bx-Congressman Orout and Governor
Hoard of Wisconsin were tho only persons
present supporting tho bill.
Mr. Grout was first heard. Ho Is the
author of tho bill and was permitted to
make nn explanation of Its provisions. He
wont over practically tho sumo ground
covered In his argument when tho bill woh
before tho huuso.
Former Governor Hor-rd also mado an
argument In support of tho bill, saying that
Its purposo Is that of provcntlng tho coun
terfeiting of food so far as the federal
government had power to do that.
Rathbone Gardner of Providence, R. I.,
representing the Oakdalo Manufacturing
company, makers of oleomargarine, made
an argument against the pending bill.
"Wo contend that this bill Is dishonest In
purpose and dishonest In fact," ho said.
''It Books to secure by direct convention
that which could bo accomplished In no
other way." Ho maintained that tho bill
was clearly a revenue act, that It was ho
on Its face and by reason of that fact he
believed the courts would hold It to bo un
constitutional. He maintained that con
gress had no moral right to pass an act
really a revenue measure, but purporting to
bo an act to regulate u kind of business.
Mr. Gardner made an argument In support
of tho business of tho oluomargarlno manu
facturer, declaring that tho product was

manufacture of oleomargarine and told of
the restrictions that were thrown around Its
manufacture, his point being that the
product contained nothing deleterious, that
Its manufacture was regulated by law.
While he admitted that In some Instances
oleomargarine was sold as butter there wa

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. When tho sen
ate convened today some bills and resolu
tions prepared by the house were reported.
Amcng them was a resolution authorizing
the president to appoint Charles A. Uoutelle
of Maine a captain on the retired list of
the navy. Mr. Uoutelle fo: many years haB
been a member of the house and was re
elected to the next congress. His serlouB
Illness for a long time has been a matter of
national concern. Mr. Hale of Maine asked
that the resolution be taken up for Im
midlate consideration. No objection was
made and the resolution was passed with
out n word of comment or debate.
On motion of Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts
the house amendments to the bill relating
tc taxes In oreer county, Texas, were
agreed to. thus passing the bill.
Mr. Chandler, chairman of tho com
mittee on privileges and elections, offered
a resolution to dlschargo tbo committee on
contingent expenses from further con
sideration of the resolution authorising the
committee on privileges and elections to
send for persons and papers In the In
vestigation of tho Montana senatorial case.
His idea was to get tho original resolution
before tho senate.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas objected and the
resolution went over under tho rule.
Mr. Uacon of Georgia Introduced and
obtained the passage of a resolution calling
upon tbo secretary of war to transmit to the
senate the report of Abraham L. Lawghe,
"giving in detail tho result of his Investiga
tion mado under tho direction of the War
department Into the receipts and ex
penditures of tbu Cuban funds."
Mr. Jones of Arkansas offered a resolution
directing the committee on foreign rela
tions to examine tho claim of Henry Mc
Coy and report whether tho secretary of
state should bo directed to pay the sum of
money claimed by him out of the award In
the hands of tho State department In tho
matter of tho Delagoa bay oward. The
resolution was passed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. The river and
harbor committee of the houBe has prac
tically decided not to give out the bill
until after tho holidays. Tho members
fear that tho publication of the Items would
give tho friends of projects unfavorably
acted upon an opportunity to organlie com
binations against the bill. The bill has
reached such gigantic proportions (almost
180,000,000 under tho provisional allot
ments) that somo vigorous pruning will be
necessary to reduce It to the J60.000.000
or $05,000,000 to which tho committee de
sires to hold It down. The direct appro
priations probably will not much exceed
J20.000.000. The commltteo has provision
ally agreed to the Southwest Pass project
at the mouth of tho Mississippi, which
Involves JS.000,000, In continuing contracts.
Tho Mississippi river Is to get JIO.000,000
during the next ten years. A lock on tbo

is to bo provided at a cost of- Jl.000,000.
Tho harbor at Cleveland, O., the home of
Chairman Hurton, is down for over $4,000,-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. The sub-cora-
mltteo of the senato committee on mili
tary affairs has completed Its work upon
tho array reorganization bill and will re
port tho result of Its labors to a special
meeting of the full senato committee,
which has been called for this afternoon.
Tho sub-commltteo will report a cora
pleto substitute for tho houso bill and,
while much of tho language Is the same
as that of the houso measure, there aro
numerous changes.
Probably tho most important change Is
In tho provision regarding tho artillery
arm of tho service. The sub-committee
recommends the retention of the present
regimental organization of tho artillery and
does not glvo Its assent to the corps or
ganization proposed by Secretary Root and
accepted by the house. In the matter of
the appointment of staff officers tho bill
follows largely tho lines of the recom
mendations made by Secretary Root. Tho
maximum strength of tho army Is to be
100,000 men. The Iioubo canteen provision
was amended so as to permit tho salo of
beer at the canteens. This exception was
made by omitting tho word "beer" from
the prohibited articles.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. The United
states supreme court again was crowded to
its full capacity today to bear the conclud
ing arguments In the cases Involving the
status of Porto HIco and the Philippines.
Among those who secured points of vantage
in tho area reserved for the bar was Judge
Day, who, as secretary of state during the
critical stages of the war with Spain and
later as head of the Amcrkan commission
ers who negotiated tho treaty of peace at
Paris, waa one of tho most Influential fac
tors In shaping tho conditions now under
discussion before the court.
Judgo Day gave attentive car to the argu
ment of the attorney general, which took
up the events following the treaty of peace
and maintained tho right of tho government,
pursuant to that treaty and to the constitu
tion, to follow the bill of actUn which had
beon taken In these cases relative to the
Philippines and Porto Klco. Near him sat
former Secretary Carlisle and other promi
nent members of tho bar alid of tho two
houses of congros, while the rrnall circular
area open to the general public was filled
with spectators.
Attorney General Griggs, who began ihe
government's presentation yesterday, con
cluded his argument today, consuming
nearly four hours. Mr. Griggs spoke in the
calm and argumentative style adopted yes
terday, occasionally, however, throwing
great earnestness of volco and gesture Into
tho assertion of the government's right to
pursue tho policy thus far taken.
The attorney general elaborated the
points enunciated yesterday. One of these
to which special attention was given was
the distinction between organized territo
ries and unorganized territory under the
Jurisdiction of the United States. Justice
Hrewcr asked the attorney general to make
clear his views In this direction. Mr. Griggs
took up territory after territory, showing
In each case that It (tho territory) came
under tho operation of the laws of tho
United States, congress specifically extend
ing the laws of the territory and not ex
proprlo vlgore. He said that whllo Rhode
Island and South Carolina stood outside
of tho union they were treated as foreign
states and when they ultimately assented
to the union congress passed a law ex
tending tho revenue laws to them.
Vermont had, prior to Its admission as a
state, been a part of tho territory belong
ing to tho United States. If the revenue
laws wero applicable to tho territory of
Vermont proprlo vlgore It w-as an act of
subrogation to extend them to tho state.
In tho case of Louisiana the attorney gen
eral pointed out that all the declarations
of Jefferson wero to the effect that in otdcr
to como within tho operation of the law
of tho United States those laws must bo
explicitly extended to new acquisitions.
Jefferson selected certain acts to be Imme
diately extended and others to be extended
from time to time ns they might bo found
practicable.
Tha attorney general drew attention to
tho instance of tho question of Florida, to
the fact that three American statesmen
Monroe, John Qulncy Adams and Andrew
Jackson, each of whom was elected presi
dent of tho United States united In do
daring orUclally that tho constitution did
not apply of its own forco to territory
newly acquired by this nation by virtue of
tbo act of acquisition, but that such exten
sion must bo accomplished by the action of
congress.
Mr. Griggs also specified the territorial
organization of Oregon, Missouri, Montana
and Wyoming, In each case showing that
congress specifically extended tho laws to
these terr'torles.
Finally, ns to the extension of lows to
tho territories, Mr. Griggs said that by
act of congress In 1874, congress had ex
pressly extended tho constitution nnd fed
eral laws to the "organized territories" and
to every territory "herenfter organized,"
but tho act went no farther than "organ
ized territory" and could not be Interpreted
to mean that cxpanso of country entirely
unorganized. The Guano Islands wero cited
In support of tho proposition that territory
may belong to or bo undor the Jurisdiction
of tho United States without being n part
of the United States. Over seventy differ
ent Island, keys and groups of Islands, have
thus been taken possession of and mado
for such special purposes tho property of
tho United States. Thoy enjoy certain
privileges under the law and tho United
states supreme court has recognized their
status, but they are not a part of the United
States.
Turning from his books, Mr. Griggs ex
claimed In impassioned tones:
"Why should this government bo con
sidered to have less freedom of actlo'j In
this matter than other nations? What clause
of the constitution to compels? Why nro
wo bo tied and bound that wo aro novor
to securo the fruits of victory, never to
acquire an Island of the sea, a belt ucross
tho Isthmus, a station for tho naval base,
unless at tho cost of admitting those in
habiting tho Eoll to full rights ns citizens
of the United States; whether they Lo canni
bals or savages, granting thorn tho glori
ous potentiality of being a part of tho people
of the United States? Did our forefathers
hamper us like that? If so, this constitu
tion Is ns misshapen as Richard tho Hunch
hack, sent Into this world beforo his time,
scarce half made up, and that so lamely
and unfashionable that natlous laugh at
us as wo holt." ,
Tho crowds continued to fill tho court
room during tho afternoon, among thoso
coming In being Senators Fairbanks, Da
con ond Nelson, Representatives McCall
and Minefield, who together mndo tho
fight against tho Porto Rico bill; Solicitor
General Richards and many olllclals from
tho Trensury and other departments.
Justices Brewer and Hurlan asked a num
ber of questions. Justice Ilrower asked If
tho nttorney general held that as congress
oxtendrd tho constitution and laws to tho
organized territories, congress also could
take thorn awoy from the territories,
.stum of Oklahoma llrniiulit I p,
Mr. Griggs answered that this wns a
most serious question, but that ho thought
it safe to Bay that when tho laws wero
ouco extended to territories an inviolable
contract was made and could not be broken.
Justice Harlan asked the, attorney general
to state later on to what extent congress
could Impose a tariff to bo collected against
goods coming from Now Mexico, Arizona
and Alaska. Justice Ilrower aUo reminded
Mr. Griggs that Oklahoma was not In
cluded In tho treaty taking In the Louisiana
and Mexican territory ond was an appar
ent exception to tho rules stated by tho
attorney general.
Mr. Griggs said that congress, at Its
last session, In effect declared that tho ex
isting turlff laws wero applicable ugalnst
the goods of Porto HIco. This was In tho
act of Inbl March, remitting to Porto Klco
certain duties collected "under existing
law." This, Mr. Griggs declared, was an
assertion by both branches of tho present
congress that the tariff act, which was tho
"existing law," operated against Porto
Rico.
Justice White asked the attorney general
If ho claimed that congress could so ex
empt territories from tbo laws as to glvo
Ihem privileges not enjoyed by the states.
Mr. Griggs responded that ho did so flalni.
that in fart the territories had been for
years exempted from internal r'-venue and
direct taxes.
The attornoy general referred to tho
celebrated case of Loughborough against
Wake, whereupon Jus'tlco Harlan, reading
from that decision, tuked Mr. Griggs what
Chief Justice Marshall meant In saying:
"The power to lay and collect duties. Ira
posts and excises may be exercised and
must be exercised throughout tho United
States." Mr. Griggs said "throughout tho
United States" referred to tho states of tht
union, but Justice Harlan pointed out that
It referred also to tho District of Columbia
and the territory west of tho Missouri.
Confidence In All He lino Adtlxrd,
Mr. Griggs closed his (lve-hour speech
with a brilliant and eloquent peroration.
"I am hero In a feeble and humblo way,"
said he. "to support the cxccutlvo and
legislative branches of tho government In
dealing with momentous questions.
Throughout I have felt n soreno confidence
that nothing I have advised, nothing the
government has done, has been without Its
precedents and forerunners from tho most
Illustrious of our forefathers, from Jeffer
son, Jackson, Madison, Gallatin and from
tho great chief Justices of tho past, that
nothing has been done but tended to tho
great exaltation and extension of our country
nnd tho Improvement of the people, com
ing under our control,
"Instead of seeking qtrlct nnd nnrrow
constructions," he said, "tho powers of the
executive and legislative branches hail been
so construed as to glvo them a wise nnd
snfo discretion, so that the day would
bo hastened when we might glvo these new
people sclf-govornment nnd to some of thorn
perhaps n place In tho galaxy of states."
Tho court then ndjourned as soon as Mr.
Griggs finished, nnd members of the bar
gathered about him to conaratulute him
upon his able and eloquent prejontatlon
of the government's case. Mr. Aldrlch will
closa for the plaintiff In the Philippine
case tomorrow nnd tho cases then will be
submitted.

Mr. Gngo then addressed the assemblage.
He reviewed briefly the history of tho ques
tions relating to public finance since the
close of tho civil war nnd called attention
to tho fnct that many of these questions
must yet bo considered as unsettled. Par
ticular attention was directed to tho great
Intimacy now apparent between tho nffnlrs
of tho treasury nnd tho general operations
of business, which did not exist at the
closo of that war. Ho said:
Wo hnvc ;i H'ntem of bnnknote curreivj
whoso volume Is hut fnlntlv related to tne
needs of the community, which a properly
constructed hank currency most economic
ally serves. It Is now controlled ns to
voliimp by tho price of Interest-bearing
United Stntes bonds In Wall street.
Our Independent treasury absorbs the
circulating medium when Motive business
most requires Its use. only ngaln to dis
burse It when falling revenues, tho effect
of Indjstrln! dullness, bring nhout an ex
cess In expenditures. Industrial netlvltv
Increases the public revenue, but Is rheeked
if not throttled by Its enlarged contribu
tions to the Idle funds In the public treas
ury. It Is these influences which have broiiKht
our Industrial nnd commercial life Into a
too dangerous dependency upon our public
linances. This marriage between these two
whom (lod did not Join together ought to
bo put asunder. Hut not bv any hasty
South Dakotn divorce method ls the separa
tion to be accomplished. The children of
this wedlock must not be dishonored. Time,
attention and great care must be exercised
Referring to the system of a few larger
banks with a multiplicity of branches tho
secretary said such n system should not,
probably, bo established In this country.
CoiinoIIiIiiIIiiii of Cnpltnl.
In closing the secretary said:
Tho consolidations of capital, tho cen
tralization of Industries, excite new and
serious Inquiry ns to the consequences and
effects thoy may carry in their train. Are
thoy the natural and healthful unfolding
of a true economic movement? Will they
carrey benellclal fruits, which will 11ml an
equitable distribution through the body
politic as a whole, or will they prove to be
the engines of power by the aid ofwhlch
tho few con exploit the mnny. My fnith Is
strong In the tlrst direction, but the real
meaning and futuro InllJenccs of this mod
ern pheuomenn should be studied and made
clear to the general eomprehnsion
Grave consequences depend upon It. The
dangers are- apparent. One Is that through
preiudli'e nnd Ignoranco we may blork the
path of national progress.
The other Is that the force nid power
Involved In these Krcat organizations may
be utilized for oppression and robbery. TIib
peculiar position of the banker us nn tn
