WASHINGTON. April 3. This was ft notn
tile day In tho somite. It brought to u close
the sharpest nnd most prolonged debate
upon any measure since those discussed
during tho memorial "war congress" two
years ago
At 1 o'clock tlilH afternoon voting was
begun upon '.ho I'orto Klco tnWIt ami civil
government bill ami tho ponding ntiiclid
mcnts and loss thun an hour later tho
measure about which thoro has been ho
much cnntnntlon In and out of congress wns
paused by n majority of nine, the final vote
belni; 10 to 31.
Only committee amendment were
adopted. It has Ix-en evident for some time
that the hill would command a majority In
tho senate, hut notwithstanding that fact,
tho liferent In the measure, both of senators
and of thu public, has not flagged nn In
stnnt. Today the galleries were crowded
nnd hundreds of people lllled tho corridors
unahlo even to secure standing room In the
galleries.
From It o'clock, when tho senate con
vened, until tho hour when the voting began
advocates and opponents of the bill bril
liantly nnd eloquently maintained their con
victions and tho auditors were kept In a
stato of constant excitement. The particu
larly notable speeches of the day were de
livered by Mason of Illinois In opposition to
the measure and by Fornker of Ohio, who
replied to n brief speech by Wellington of
Maryland. It was tho Ohio senator's deslro
to clear up any misunderstanding or misin
formation concerning tho hill.
Mason's speech was argumentative, elo
quent and amusing by turns.
Just before tho senate adjourned a sensa
tional episode occurred, In which Wolcott
nccused Iodgo of Massachusetts of urging
that which was "unqualifiedly false." The
dllllculty nroso over an effort made by Lodge
to have tho Spooner bill mado tho unfinished
business. This Involved the displacement
of tho Quay caso and tho friends of the
former s'-nntnr from Pennsylvania made
thlngii exceedingly lively for half an hour.
Miihuii DeeliireM Ho In ii Patriot.
Mason resented as cowardly and unjust
nny relle,ctlon upon his patriotism and love
for tho Hag. beeauso of his opinions regard
ing tho Philippine. Ilo declared that If It
was treason to oppose n war of conquest, to
lift unjust taxation, to confer upon the
struggling people the blessings of liberty,
to protect the laboring men and women of
this country, then ho wan guilty.
Adverting nt this point to I'orto Hlco hu
maintained thnt when tho treaty of Paris
was ratltled tho Island boenmo a part of tho
United States and congress bail no more
right to put a duty on her products than It
bad to put a tnrlft on products passing be
tween New York nnd Washington.
"Union you can get tho supreme court
to stultify and reverso Itself," tin Id Mason,
thoro Is but ono way to levy a tariff upon
tho people of the United States to prevent
their trading with the rest of tho United
States. You must amend the constitution to
t!o It. You must strike out that clause of tho
constitution which nays all duties must be
uniform. I beg you to count tho cost of
such an amendment."
"I cannot say to Europ that Is wholly
foreign and alien, 'You may deliver tho pro
duct of your labor here upon tho pay
ment of 100 por cent of tho present duty,' and
then say to tho Porto Itlcnn, 'You aro 85
per cent American nnd 15 per cent alien
nnd you must pay your prorata share of an
Impost duty.'
"Thoro Is no such thing tut an 85 per cont
annexation. Tho people of Porto Illco are
either our people 100 per cent or thoy are
100 per cent not our people."
Mason presented what he maintained was
tho good faith of the government of the
United States The pcoplo of Porto Klco
bad been promised by (ienernl Miles, ami,
lit least In an Implied way, by others, that
they should enjoy all tho Immunities nnd
Mrsslngi of our free government. These
promises, bo hold, the people would demand
should bo kept.
IVvcr of Wnv.
Speaking of tbo fovor of war, which he
said was upon tho administration, .Mason
paid- "Hut ns via approach tho hour when
wo must again appeal to tho Judgment of
70,000.000 people, nnd fires under tho pots of
patronage are burning low and tbo dangers
of disappearing poHtolllcos appear to us like
n hideous nightmare, the hour of convales
cence approaches and wo shout to the labor
ing people of tho country: 'No, no. It Is a
mistake ' We have sacrificed tho money and
1hi liven of the people; wo havo abandoned
the faith of tho fathers for land, but we will
abandon It It nil rather than forsake the po
litical partisan doctrine: and we aro saying
on both sides of this chamber thow who
bave believed In tho permanent government
of tho Philippine Islands that if our perma
nent sowrolgnty there means the taking Into
this country. In competition with our labor,
products of tho people there, wo will aban
don this kind of expansion."
Discussing the powors of congrera under
the constitution, as Interpreted In the light
f tho provisions of tho pending bill, Mr.
Mnsnn said:
"Tho constitution says you cannot make a
title of ncblllty. but we apply thnt only H
the states, you understand. Tho distinguished
senator from New York (I)epewl can be the
duko of Pnnco and not violate tho constitu
tion; the distinguished senntor from Indiana
(Itoverldgel tho prlnco of Porto Hlco, and the
distinguished lawyer who has sought f de
fend this bill upon nn unconstitutional
ground (Spoonort ran nt least demand the
title of tho lord chief high duke of the check
board somewhere in tho Philippines, that
he may sit In Judgment upon the laws of tho
people. (Laughter ) Does tho constitution
say you cannot make n tit to of nobility'
Yes. Does It o Into the outside terrltorv?
No. Then you can make titled of nobility
there, God help tho man In Nowunber who
plays no game."

mittee of tho House of Lords on copyright
Tho committee, presided over by Lord
Monkswoll, lii"ltid) tho lord chancellor ex
Olonlal Secretory Ijord Knutsford nnd sev
eral other peers, who followed the American
humorist's testimony with the deepest In
terest. Mark spoke In his usual manner
as though thinking aloud, occasionally pro
voking nn tiiivoustomod sound of laughter
fr;n f by aristocratic tribunal. Ho said:
"I havo been taxed by tho Ilrltlsh govern
ment for some years nnd on Investigation
found my literature taxed as gas works.
That is literally truo and hurt me. The
copyright laws of England and America need
only ono commercially trilling but morally
gigantic amendment to Income perfect, tho
removal of tho forty-two yonts' limit and
return to pnrpctunl copyright. Limited
copyright makes a distinction between the
author's property and real estate, pretending
both aro not credited products acquired the
same way as u mm who purchases landed
istato bad to earn them, only by tho su
periority of his intellect. A book is tho re
sult of tho author's own brain, In the same
manner ns ti combination ami exploiting his
Ideas. When tho copyright dies It does not
glo tho book to tho publishers ns a frco
gift: It inertly gives the author's profit to
thu public.
I "Out of every 100 tons of books sold nine
j ty nine are light literature; therefore to
i benefit the nation substantially e no would
need to furnish It with nl'iety-nlne tons as
cheaply as possible. Tho other ton Is of
no consequence. My books nre light lit
erature, very light. Many unthinking think
ers think they think copyright or tho ab
Bcnco of It don't affect my books. Here they
aro sold at J shillings and tho destruction
of copyright could not chenpeti them more,
certainly not enough to make the empire
lose Itn sleep over the windfall. Public de
mand determines the prlco of a book, not
Parliament or tho publishers, who will mako
nny honorable sacrifice that has money In
It. Tho blblo Is the only book Justly and
fairly treated, as Its copyright has been
potyetuol. Iilmltol copyright dniti not

HomocrntH victorious at Leavenworth.

generally been successful. In this city tlu
republican lamlldates were elected by the
j usual majorities.
In Wichita the republicans made largo
'gains, carrying every ward In the city ex-
CL'lit one. In Abellne. Lawrence. Columbus,

ST. LOflS, April X Municipal elections

sourl. Tho rtmift where party lines wero
,!rawn Wl'r tnc wnt,p favorable to tho
democrats. The republicans mado their
gnlns chlelly at Sedalla and St. Joseph. In
, the latter place local Issues led to tho do-
feat of democrats. At Sedalla the sllcht
Plurality of the democrats at tho last eloc-
tion was overcome and the city again went
republican. The democrats elected a n:r.ilg!it
nonet in bprlnguold for the llrst time. At
.Mnrysvlllo they turned a republican ma
jority Into n democratic majority of 300.
Pulton. Joplln and other places wero swept

CHICAGO. April 3.--Township elections
wero held throughout Illinois today and as
far us tho returns showed at midnight the
republicans seem to havo elected more of
their men than the democrats, although the
returns ore very Incomplete. In none of
tho elections was there any Issue of Im
portance outside of the township In whldi
tho votes were cast, and tho vole of today Is
therefore of no value for purposes of com
parison. In tho city of Qulney tho dem
ocrats carried tho day, electing almost their
entire town ticket. In Jollet the republicans
mado a clean sweep. In Peoria tho re
publican ticket was elected and In Kanka
kee tho democrats wero successful. A
small voto Is reported from nil parts of the
stato.
Tho contests In Chicago wero chiefly aider
manic, although in each of tho various town
ships an nssessor, collector, supervisor and
clerk wore choen. Tlio chief Interest cen
tered In the aldermanle voto. Thlrty-llvo
of the ofilclnls were chosen, tho republicans
securing nineteen and the domoTnts six
teen. Tho old city council contained thirty-two
democrats, thlrty-llvo republicans
and ono Independent. The new council -will
eontnln forty republicans and twenty-nine
democrats, making an additional member
of tbo council.
Ono phase of tho election over which thero
was much bitterness manifested was the
fight mado by tho Municipal Voters' league
iigainbT what the lenguo denominated "gang
sters and grafters." Tho U'aguo endorsed or
repudiated men regardless of party, some
time's endorsing as a lit man for olllce every
candidate In a ward and sometimes repudi
ating every candidate.
It endorsed In all thirty-nine nldermnnlc
candidates and repudiated twenty-one. Of
tho tblrtv-nlne endnmrd nineteen wero
elected, and of the twenty-one repudiated
twelve were elected. Much Interest con-
tered In the fight In tho Second ward, whero
Mayor Harrison mado a strong light for C.
F. Gunther, the democratic nominee. Mr.
Gunthor wns beaten by W. II. Thompson,
republican, by 400 votes. Hoth men were en
dorsed by tho league.

At tho polls yesterday tho republican pHrty
won nut for tho r,;5t Hmn flt"-,c Tfif?, nni
did It so easily that it waB not long after
tho returns began to como in that the dem
ocratic, managers read tho handwriting on
tho wall nnd saw that thoy wero defeated.
As early as 10 o'clock In the evening thu
World-Herald, tho democratlo organ, con
cealed Kelly's election by 400 and nn hour
later tho democratic city committee throw up
their hands In dcspnlr and allowed that thoy
could save little from tho wreck.
With tho mayor, treasurer, four councll
mon and three membors of tho Bchool board
secured, tho republicans are feeling pretty
woll.
lleforo tho night wa far spent the repub
licans wero parading the streets with a
band In celebration of tholr victory. Tho
band called at Tho lien olllce and played sev
eral lively airs, while tho accompanying
crowd cheered lustily for Kelly, Tho Dee,
Mr. Roaowatcr and tho entire ropublloan
ticket. Tho result appears to bo satis
factory to tho majority of tho citizens of
South Omaha.
i:oltlnu; f'oiKenf.
Yesterday's election was tho most excit
ing in years and It was stated that never
before In tho history of tho city had thero
been such n bitter fight on the bend of th
ticket. A great deal moro Interest than
usual wan manifest In tho selection of mem
bers of tho Hoard of Education and nn
unusually Inrgo number of women voted.
Carriages were running nil day, carrying
! v""'rs ,lin "i,IIh' "mI U wafl not ,lntl1

"nds quit work for a mucn-neeiied rest.
Every candidate on ull of tho tickets worked
from early In tho morning until tho closing
of tho polls at 7 o'clock. City Clerk Car
penter and Assistant Chlzek wero kept busy
all day making out papers for those who
failed to register. Altogether 258 votes were
sworn In, tho largest ever known here.
Two years ago when Elisor, Harrott and
Parkhurst were In tho rare 163 votes wero
sworn in nnd tho largo number sworn in,
yesterday Indicates the great Interest taken
1 In tho contest.
1 The total voto rast wns 4,2fft, divided
. among tho wards as follows: First ward,
l.CSfi; Second ward, 1,33; Third ward, 005:
Fourth ward, 372; total. I,2ft9. This voto
Is exclusive of the women who voted for
members of tbo Hoard of Education. Tin
total registration at tho closing of tho
books on Saturday night was 0.315. From
this was deducted Sir, for transfers, deaths
nnd removals, making tho total registra
tion S.OOO. The vote cast, in comparison
with tho registration, was about what It
has been formerly. At many of tho votlns
precincts quite a number of voters worn
shut out on account of the tdowness of tho
election boan's. In tho First precinct of
tho First ward It Is estimated that fully
forty voten wero cut out by reason of thq
rinsing of the polls at 7 o'clock. Tho aamo
thing occurred In a number of other pre
cincts, to that It is estimated by conserva
tlvo moil that the vote would have run over
1,600 If nil had been given au opportunity
of cnstlng their ballots.

Contrary to expectations there was nn
Houblo of any kind. Tho iiMcn force under
