partisan attitude to the extent of calling
moderates only to palace conferences.
The opponents of the sanitation bill urged
Its rejection on the ground that It covered
street cleaning In 'only four ports and de
clared that It was th senate's duty to pass
the bill Specially Introduced In the senate
providing for the sanitation of every town
on the Island under executive authority.
Senor Sangullly, speaking of President
Palma's urging the matter at the Instance
of the United States, said there was no
reason' why congress should not take time
to pass a general law Instead of one cover
ing only four cities. Th condition of th
streets In many cities of the United States,
he said, I worse than in ' those of Cuba.
He said Cuba had International obligations
In this and other respects, but they were
no greater or pressing than those of any
other nation.
Senor Zayas, leader of the nationalist
party, spoke In a similar strain In favor of
substituting a general bill.
Senor Dols, , moderate administration,
urged the passage of the house bill and the
taking up of the general measure after the
recess. Ha said neither would; Interfere
with the other. The authors- of the senate
bill claim to have a majority for that
measure.

stated that there is not the smallest chance

INTERNATIONAL STEEL POOL
Mnnafactorera of Flvo Countries Said

I'nderstnndlng-,
LONDON, Dec. 16. Confirming th report
of th formation ot an international steel
rail pool, a telegram from Barrow says:
Th agreement, which was signed by all
the representative! ot the Br t.eh, Frnch,
German and Belgium makers, extends tor
a period of three years and la likely to In
clude American makers at any rate over
certain sones. It waa felt that the Euro
pean, agreement left the duor open for
severe American competition, ao overtuies
were opened, though not so much on the
question of price as on the sones to be
allotted to the European and American
makers, respectively. A scheme has been
mapped out and practically agreed upon,
bovh by the continental combine and the
American Steel corporation. It la antici
pated that the new pool will come Into
operation January 1, and under Ita auspices
It Is expected that the price of heavy rail
sections, now 5 shillings per ton. will be
lifted to 100 shillings. The combined Inter
ests of all the large steel mills of the four
renters will be ceutered In a London office,
through which the bu-lness will pass and
from which orders will be allotrd.

PHILIPPINE BILL PASSED
Scott Accept th Mearar u Amended by
a Vet, of 44 23.
INTEREST ON RAILROAD BONDS LOWERED
Rat Flared at Foar Per Tent Instead
of Fire Joint Statehood BUI Is
Introduced by Mr. BeT-orldgr.
WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-Th senat
today, by a vote of 44 to ii, passed th
Philippine civil bill. The vot was pre
ceded by the presentation of many amend
ments and a general discussion of them as
well as the provisions of the bill. The dis
cussion was confined quit generally to the
merit of the measure. On some of the
amendments suggested by democratic sena
tors several western republicans voted In
th affirmative, but Mr. McCumber was the
only republican who voted against th final
passage of the bill.
Th most notable change made during the
day waa that lowering tha rate of Interest
on railroad bonds to be guaranteed by th
Philippine government from 8 to 4 per cent.
The bill as passed exempts from taxation
all bonds Issued by the Philippine and Porto
Rlcan governments; authorises municipali
ties In the Philippines to Incur a bonded
Indebtedness amounting to 5 per cent of
th assessed valuation of their property at
6 per cent Interest; authorizes the Philip
pine government to Incur a bonded Indebt
edness of $5,000,000 for Improvements at 44
per cent; authorises the Philippine govern
ment to guarantee the payment of interest
on railroad bonds at the rate of 4 per cent
per annum; provides for the administration
of the Immigration laws vy the Philippine
authorities; establishes a system for the
locating and patenting of mineral, coal and
saline lands; fixes the metric system as
the standard for the Islands and elves the
civil governor the title of governor general.
During the day Mr. Beverldge, from the
committee on territories, reported the state
hood bill, apd he will make a motion on
the first day that the senate convenes In
January that the consideration of the bill
shall be entered on at once.
Proceedings In Detail..
Mr. Beverldge, from the committee
on territories, reported the statehood bill
and gave notice that Immediately after the
disposal of the Philippine government bill
he would move its consideration.
Representing the minority of the commit
tee. Senator Bard notified the senate that
he would enter a motion to recommit the
bill for the purpose of taking further tes
timony. Mr. Bard gave notice of confining
the provisions of tha bill to the state to
be formed by the union of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and eliminating all refer
ence to Arizona and New Mexico.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the Philippine government bill, taking
up an amendment striking out the provi
sion of the bill exempting from taxation
bonds Issued by the Philippine government
which was suggested by Mr. Gorman.
Mr. Bailey suggested an amendment re
quiring Philippine railroad companies to
secure the approval of the Philippine com
mission for all bonds Issued by them.
Mr. Dubois presented an amendment pro
viding for tha rigid enforcement of the
Chines exclusion law In tha Philippine
Islands and spoke In support of It. He ex
pressed the opinion that as time advanced
there would be Increased demands for the
admission of coolie labor with the result
that If these demands be granted th gugor
maklng industry of the United States would
be destroyed.
Interest Placed at Four Per Cent.
Mr. Spooner presented a substitute for
section 4 of tha bill, relating to railroad
bonds. The amendment placea the rate of
Interest at 4 per cent, InBtead of 6, as In
the original provision, and restricts bond
and stock Issues to the amount of th
actual cash Investment.
The understanding was that the amend
ment would be accepted by the committee.
faking up th railroad bond provision Mr.
Carmack said he waa opposed to the rail
road bond provision because It would make
it more difficult for th United States to
get out of tha Philippines. "I don't know,"
be said, "that I ahould have the courage to
thus express myself but for the position
taken by th president in his recent mes
sage." He then quoted the president's hope that
our Cuban policy might at some time be
adopted In th Philippines, This he char
acterized aa a renunciation of the repub
lican policy and In Una with the demo
cratic platform and expressed the opinion
that only the president's pride Is prevent
ing his coming Into complete accord with
the democrats.
"We welcome the president to th ranks
of the anti-imperialists," hs said. "Ha Is
almcst if not quit eligible to membership
In the Boston Anti-Imperialist league."
The president's utterance, h went on,
marks great progress.
"There is more difference," he added,
"between the former Theodore Roosevelt
and the present Theodore Roosevelt than
ther is between William J. Bryan and
Alton B. Parker."
Voting; on Amendments,
At t o'clock the voting on tha amend
ments began and tha first vot was taken
on Mr. Gorman's motion to strike out th
provision exempting Philippine bonds from
taxation. Tha amendment was voted down,
23 to 48, a party vote. ,
The senate voted down without division
Mr. Dubois' Chines coolie exclusion amend
ment X
Mr. Spooner's suggestion for th modifica
tion of section S, relative to municipal In
debtedness, was accepted.
Mr. Spooner then formally offered his
substitute for section 4, th railroad provi
sion of th bill, reducing th Interest rata
to 4 per cent. Mr. Culberson moved to
still further reduce tha rat to S per cent,
but the motion was voted down, 35 to 37.
Th following republicans voted with the
democrats for the amendment: Bard,
Clapp, Clark (Wyo.), Gamble, Hepburn,
Klttredg. MoCumber, Mitchell, Nelson,
Parkins, Scott.

th receipts of railroads was voted down,
as was Mr. Bailey's amendment requiring
railroad companies to abide by rates fixed
by th Philippine government and requiring
railroads to secure the approval by the
government of all Issues of stocks and
bonds. Tha vot for an amsndment waa
SS to 39. Mr. Knox was among th repub
licans voting In th affirmative.
Other amendments limiting th cost of
railroads to ftf.OOO per mil and limiting the
continuance ot bonds to twenty years in

Committee on IsssgaratloB.
When the result was announced Mr.
Spooner, for the committee on rules, pre
sented a resolution authorising the ap
pointment of a Joint committee consisting
of three members of the senate and three
of tha house to prepare for the Inaugura
tion of the president on March 4 next and
asked for Immediate consideration,
"Is there objection to the request?" asked
the'chalrman.
"If objection would prevent the event I
would object," said Mr. Bailey In a Jocular
spirit, "but as It will not, I remain silent."
The resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Heyburn and Mr. McCumber sought
to get up the pure food bill, but Mr. Lodge
moved an executive session, and his mo
tion on -a roll call prevailed. The senate,
therefore, at 4:40 p. m. went Into executive
session, adjourning at 5:05 until Monday.

Letter from Grover Cleveland.
The following letters from Grover Cleve
land, Carl Schurz and John Mitchell were
read:
PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 1. John Crosby
Brown, "iisq., Chairman: Dar Sir I very
much regret that I cannot be present at
the meeting to be held on the 16th Inst., in
furtherance of an attempt to secure the
ratification by the senatu of such treaties
for international arbitration as may be sub
mitted to that body in the near future.
Any action in the direction of securing
the adoption of reasonable, Jecent and
civilized methods of settling International
difficulties, ought to enlist the co-operation
of good men everywhere.
It seems to me that an age cannot be
called altogether enlightened which sanc
tions human slaughter as a legitimate and
proper incident in the adjustment of such
differences, and there appears to be a bald
confusion of ideas when nations boast of
the most advanced civilization and at the
same time concede that the barbarous ex
pedition of killing people Is an approved
means of vindicating and making more se
cure their beneficent, kindly rule, and at
taining their loftiest purposes. Yours very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
The following letter from lohn .Mitchell
was then read:
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 10. Hon. John W.
Foster, Chairman American Conference on
Internntlonal Arbitration: Dear Sir I ob
serve with keen Interest the efforts thnt are
being made by the American Conference of
International Arbitration to forward the
movement for the establishment of unlver
snl peace through International arbitra
tion. I wish to add my word of endorse
ment to this movement and to express the
earnest hope that the day may soon be here
when the nations of the earth will reconcile
their differences and adjust their disputes
by arbitration, Instead of by recourse to
arms
It seems to m that this movement should
nave the endorsement and should receive
tne support of wage earners of this and
other nations, as It la thev tnr.ro h,,n oil

Speech of Oscar Stranas.
We have asembled tonight to give voice
to the true grandeur of nations, believing
with Hugo Grotlus and William Penn,
with Dr. Charming and Charles Sumner,
and John Hay, that permanent peace la
the only true diplomacy belittlng civilized
states.
Meetings similar to this will shortly be
held In Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New Haven, Chicago and San Francisco,
so that our senators in congreMS may not
be left in doubt that the people of this
country xpect them to act promptly and
ratify the treaties of arbitration that Pres
ident Roosevelt has Indicated in his mes
sage soon to lay before them for ratifica
tion. Mr. Strauss enumerated the various
peaca conferences which had been held
since The Hague convention, the assem
bling ot which and the discussion of the
permanent court of arbitration, he said,
mark tha most humane achievement of
the ages and the orownlng glory of the
nineteenth century. He continued:
It is to the honor and glory of our coun
try tiiat the nrxt two international differ
ences this court ha been called to act
upon were dlreoted to It by 'our president,
whom history will recognise as tne great
est leadtr among nations of "peace with
honor." It is also our pride that the per
manent abode of this court will forever
be held In a temple of peace, which, when
completed, will stand as a lusting mem
orial of the munificent contribution to the
causa of peace by an American cllliun,
Andrew Carnegie.
Th fact that behind the world s diplo
macy stand ever open the portals of The
Hague tribunal cannot fail to have ait
evtr Increasing voice in the couuc.ls of
nation and of every civilised power. It
Is not contended that Internatlunal arbitra
tion can abolUh war, but that it w.ll con
stantly tend to lessen the occasions that
lead to war, and materially help to bring
the future of humanity under the majesty
of the law.
I now have the honor of presenting for
your consideration th lesolutlons of this
meeting. .

PATTERSON CASE NEARS END
Jndae Denies Motion for an Order of
Acquittal Adjournment Taken
I'ntll Monday,
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. Without hearing
argument for the prosecution, which hnd
rested its case, Justice Vernon M. Davis,
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court today denied the motion of Nan Pat
terson's counsel to acquit her of the charge
of murdering Caesar Young and adjourned
the trial until Monday at the request of
the defense.
The question of the admissibility of evi
dence concerning J. Morgan Smith and his
wife waa again raised and Justice Davis
decided to admit the evidence.
John Mellln, Young's racing partner, was
called and Identified several letters writ
ten by Young to Miss Patterson.
Only two other witnesses were called to
day, the greater part of the session being
taken up by argument of counsel.
There was Just a possibility when
the trial of Nan Patterson was re
sumed today that the former show
girt might know her fate before the close
of the present week. Counsel for Miss
Patterson said they were undecided as to
whether they would put in any evidence
or allow their case to go to the Jury as
prepared by the prosecution. A decision
as to this was reached at a conference
between counsel, but the result of this
conference was to be closely guarded until
the prosecution had formally announced
its case complete. It was said that In
case the defense decided It would be best
to make an effort to rebut the evidence
preaented to the Jury by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand, Miss Patterson would
be the principal witness In her own behalf.
She was prepared to tell the whole story
of her acquaintance with .Young, It was
said.
The old question of admissibility of evi
dence concerning J. Morgan Smith cam
up a,nd the Jury was excused to allow
counsel to argue points of law.
After hearing arguments Justice Davis
decided that he would permit the evidence
concerning the Smiths to go to the Jury.
Attorney Unger of counsel for the defense
made a .formal motion for the acquittal of
the defendant. He asserted that there waa
no evidence to warrant the prosecution
asking for a conviction and cited several
court decisions to sustain his contention
that no case had been made out against
his client.
