Senators Will Air Their Views On the Subject. SOME ARE FOR AND SOME AGAINST White Will Speak Agalnat the Pollfj— Senator Lodge Will Follow, Champion ing the Opposite Idea—The Treaty Will Be tip for Coinddrrutlnn—Houae Ki peeta to Have u Lively Time With the Army Hill. WASHINGTON, .Ian. 23.—The fact that the anti-scalping bill was made the unfinished business of the senate by Saturday's vote does not necessar ily insure its immediate considera tion. The general understanding Is that this bill will wait upon the peace treaty and the appropriation bills and that tlio Indian appropriation bill will be the ilrst measure to receive the attention of the senate during the week. The diplomatic and pension appropriation bills, also, may be con sidered during the week. Several speeches on the general sub ject of expansion are expected to lie made. One of these by Senator White in opposition to the government’s pol icy will he made today and Sen ator Lodge will follow Tuesday with a brief talk in support of the policy ami in advocacy of the early ratification of tlio peace treaty. How much time will be given to the treaty in executive sessions will de pend upon whether the committee on foreign relations considers it in the Interest of the treaty to press consid eration. There is an effort to arrange a compromise which would permit speedy action upon the treaty, but if this is not successful the indications are for considerable delay. Two com promises are suggested. One of these is for a modification of the treaty or adoption of a resolution declaratory against the permanent holding of the Philippine archipelago and the other Is a modification of the army reor ganization bill on lines desired by the treaty opponents. It is not yet possi ble to state whether cither course will be pursued. On Friday the senate will listen to eulogies of the late Repre sentative Cool of Illinois. The time of the house this week, excepting tomorrow, which lias been set aside for the consideration of Dis trict of Columbia business, will be du. - voted to tin* army reorganization 1)111. The consideration of this bill, which is regarded as pre-eminently the most important general measure to come before congress at this session, has been delayed by the illness of Chair man Hull of the military affairs com mittee, He has recovered sufficiently to pilot the measure, however, and the house lias formally agreed to take up its consideration on Tuesday. The general debate, not including three night sessions, Is to continue fif teen hours. This is as far as the agreement goes. It includes no pro vision for a final vote. The d abate promises to be both interesting and important, as It will raise all the ques tions involved in increasing our stand ing army to 100,000 men as proposed by the hill, together with our whole future policy relative to the territory acquired in the recent war with Spain There exists a wide variety of opin ions upon the proposition to increase the standing army. It has a strong majority of the republicans behind it. and it comes into the house with the endorsement of the president’s mes sage practically as an administration measure. The democrats and populist are intensely hostile to the wh-do proposition and intend to fight it to the last ditch. They will have some support from the republican aide. The opposition, however, do not desire to embarrass the government and are willing to pro vide for a temporary increase in the army of 50,000 men, in accordance with the provisions of the substitute of fered by th<* minority committee. Or they are willing to authorize the con tinuance, temporarily, of the present war strength of the regular army <02. 000)— anything, in fact, to prevent the creation of a permanent incross’, in this they have the sympathy of many or the lepubiioana. The fate of the bill is in grave doubt. The statements made on the floor of the Honntp to the effect that It was not the Intention of the gov-l a ment to hold the Philippine p rin. nently, although thHr authoritative character was denied, have nine- d a weapon in the hands of the opposition of the measure, which will us» the statement that there is doubt as to the future of the Philippines ns a strong argument against permanent increase of the regular army. The Dill may nut be completed this week, as the order permits Its consideration to be Inter rupted by appropriation bills and con ference reports. Protest Against Ki|wn>liin. NEW YORK.

Th« Memure Finally l*»»»ed In the LTi»i>«r House* WASHINGTON, Jau. 23.—The sou ate passed the Nicaragua canal bill, de cided to make the antl-scalping bill the unfinished business and continued without the completion of the consid eration of the Indian appropriation bill. A number of amendments were made to the Nicaragua canal bill, and there wore Innumerable abort speeches dur ing the day. There was. however, no opposition to a vote when the time came, and a roll call on It developed only six votes In opposition to final passage. The anti scalping bill was taken up on a vote of 33 to 21, but no effort was then made to resume Its considera tion. The result of the vote was to give It the first place on the calen dar, hut the understanding is that it shall not be pressed In opposition to the peace treaty, or the appropriation bills. The Nicaragua canal bill, as it passed, continues the name of the Maritime Canal company. It provides for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of stock at $100 per share. The canal company is required to call In all tho stock Issued, except that held by tho Nicaragua and Costa Rican govern ments, The company Is also required to redeem, cancel bonds and script heretofore issued by the company, and to satisfy all cash liabilities. To en able the company to comply with these requirements treasury warrants to the amount of $5,000,000 are authorized with a proviso to the effect that only so much of the amount shall be paid as shall he required to pay the actual cash value of the right, privileges, franchises and property at tne time of the payment, the vnlue to be deter mined by commissioners to be ap pointed by the president. This Is lng done the secretary of the treasury Is authorized to subscribe 925,000 shares of the company's stock for the government of the United .States, The present members of the board of directors are then to resign and a board of seven Is to be appoint ed In their stead, consisting of five on behalf of the United States and one each on behalf of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The directors on liehalf of the United States are to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. No two of them are to be residents of any one state and no per son who has heretofore been Interest ed In the canal company Is to he ap pointed to this office. They are also prohibited from lining Interested In contracts on the canal. Each of the di rectors, except the president, Is to re ceive a salary of $5,000 per year and tho president Is to have $6,000. All traveling expenses are to be paid. An nual reports are required. There is a provision against declaring a dividend except upon the net earnings The company Is authorized to contract for the completion of the canal within six years. The payments are restricted to $20,000,000 annually. The canal is to be large enough ‘Tor the use of the largest seagoing vessels at a cost not to exceed the estimate of the engineers and not to exceed $115,000,000.” This amount Is made a permanent appropriation for the work, to bo used as occasion may require. The bill gives the government a lien on the property to secure the payment of the moneys advanced and the president Is em powered to declare forfeiture of the property to the United States without the necessity of Judicial or other as certainments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The senate was in session lor ovu hours and a half today, but the session was prac tically barren of results, T wo nota ble speeches were delivered, one by Mr. Nelson, republican of Minnesota, in opposition to Mr. Vest's antl-expau stou resolution, and the other by Mr. White, democrat of California, a per sonal explanation of his position with rasped to the iUfftructlon given tho California senators by the legislature In that stale as to tho pending peace treaty. » Mr Nelson’s address was a constitu tional argument In support of the United Htates’ right to acquire and govern foreign territory. He main tained that it was no longer an unset tled question that tills country had the power not only to acquire foreign ter ritory by discovery, conquest or treaty, but also to govern territory so acquir ed, That question, he said, had been settled by decision of the supreme court, and was scarcely longer open to debate. He referred to the territory . that had been acquired In the past by the United States government and de clared that In no single case had the people of the territory acquired been consulted or their consent secured. In the two eases of Texas and Hawaii we had more nearly approached the point of consulting the Inhabitants than any other and even In those cases there was but a shadow of consultation. In that of Hawaii less than 5,000 of the in habitants out of a total of 125,000 had been asked for their consent to an 1119X111 I' "II. In the course of this debate, Senator Nelson said, the contention was being made that the people of the territory proposed to he acquired were not fit for citizenship In our republic. Ad mitting that that contention was cor rect, It was quite as true that the peo ple of such territory hitherto acquired by this country were unfit for citizen ship at the time the territory was taken Into the union. Had we applied the reasoning that was now lieing ed vanced against acquisition of territory the people of Florida and the Txmls lana territory when they were admit ted Into the United States could senreely have passed muster, as It is well known that they were not fitted for citizenship, Mr. Nelson then entered upon an elaborate constitutional argument, citing numerous authorities in support of his position. He maintained that the arguments that taxation without representation was tyranny and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed were true only In limited extent. A ma jority of our people, he said, were without direct representation. Wo. men, minors and imbeciles were wlth 1 out representation In our government I and had to bear their share of taxa I tlon. They had, in other words, to undergo the burdens of our govern ment without any voice In its control. In response to a question by Mr. Ma son, Mr. Nelson said that no man could truthfully say that the rights of Eng lishmen had been destroyed or even In any Hense impaired by Oreat Britan's great scheme of colonization. Further replying to Mr. Mason he de clared that the United States was the product of the colonization plans of England and demanded to know whether Mr. Mason would desire to ! blot out that great work of England. ! What the people of England have done, { said he, certainly the people of the j United States could accomplish. Col | onies have not destroyed England; how will they have destroyed us? Mr. Tillman, interupting Mr. Nelson, and refering to the contest between Sweden and Norway and the practical ' severance of their relations, Inquired why the Norwegians at home wanted liberty, while those of the United States did not desire to give liberty to the Filipinos. This reference to Mr. Nelson's Norwegian birth aroused him. | "I am a citizen of the United States, I Mr. President," he replied. "I am not representing either the people or the government of Norway, whose rights and liberties I nm satisfied are greater than those of the- people of South Car j olina.” (Laughter.) Mr. White of California made a per sonal explanation of his attitude In i relation to the peace treaty in response to the Instructions of the California legislature to vote for the ratification of the Instrument. He said he had ! not Joined with Mr. Perkins In the request for surli lust ructions and that I he could not. he governed by them. ! as he did not consider that a United States senator was under obligations ■ to subordinate his own conscience and I convictions in national questions to i the temporary operations of a state legislature.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.—The state department is moving with due delib- | eration, yet with firmness, respecting ! tilt* adjustment of conditions in Sa moa and is directing all of its efforts to the use cl lawful and regular means to settle the succession at Aorta. la fact it was its insistence upon the com pliance of all the parties to the tri partite treaty with the terms of that document so long as it stood unde nounced and unamended that haB mado its position so strong legally at this I Juncture. There is still a lack of official re ports upon the details of the Stirling events at Apia. A brief statement of these events has reached the depart ment through the United States dis patch agent at Han Francisco, but so far as can be gathered it is not yet known Just why Chief Justice Cham bers decided that M atari fa, the Ger man candidate for the succession to the throne of Samoa, was ineligible.

Then they were in the slims* of instructions to take on a full supply of coal and make rea dy for a cruise to Samoa.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 21.—The revolu tion at Samoa and the threatening in ternational complications have brought into prominence the United States con sul at Apia, Luther W. Osborne of Ne braska. Osborne is a pioneer of thin state and was appointed to Samoa two years ago. He resided at Blair, Wash ington county, and was a prominent republican. He was born at Ithaca, N. Y., and entered the union army during the civil war. While in front of Rich mond with Grant he cast his first vote it was for Lincoln for president, filter he studied law with Hon. George M. Bradley of the court of appeals of New York at present, and came to Ulalr In 18(19. In 1873 Mr Osborn rep resented Washington and Burt coun ties in the legislature. For a quarter of a century he was regarded as one of the leading lawyers of the state. Tn 1879 he was a de1eerate-nt-1arge to th* republican national convention. Word from (lomtul Oiborn0. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21—Cipher dispatches from Consul General Os liorne at Apia, In relation lo the diffi culties In Samoa, are being received at the state department, hut only me meager information Is given out. From a source thoroughly reliable It Is learn ed that Germany lias resented the par tition «f the islands ever slnoe the malting of the Berlin treaty and while, up to this time, the three signatory powers to the treaty, the United States Great Britain and Germany, have gotten along without an, open rupture between representative* of these powers in the Island, It has not l>een because of any lack of friction. Osborne was advised lodav via Auck land that the Philadelphia had been ordered to Samoa and would arrive arrive there about the second week In February and that he must stand firm on the question of upholding the terms of the treaty.

In order to place the lines west of the Ohio river In proper shape to handle the heavy freight equipment that Is being used east of the river the receivers found It necessary to re build 51 bridges between Benwood, W.

The Youngs town Bridge Company of Youngstown will erect 31 bridges ou the Central Ohio division between the Ohio river and Newark, Ohio; the Pencoyd Bridge Works was awarded the 11 bridge* on the Lake Erie division, Newark to Handusky, and the Edge Moor Bridge Company of Wilmington, Del., will erect the 9 bridges needed on the Chi cago division. The total cost of these bridges is In the neighborhood of |300,» 000 and It is expected that all will be In place by September. Nearly sli thousand tons of steel will be needed for the structures.
