He said further,, however, that he believed that so long an the Fillpinoa do aot endeavor to lilmmie thenuclvee from their bonds th period of tbeir liberty would not arrive. Governor Taft corresponded with Mabini. and in one letter thanked him for bis interest of law and order in the island. Within a few weeks after this correspondence Mabini died bland, of cholera. wh the con-- ; Speaking of the scouts itabulary Governor Taft says: "In this country It is politically most Important that Filipinos should suppress Filipino disturbances and arrant Filipino outlaws. One of the greatest obstacles with whiih the government has hail to contend. he says, has been the presence,, of dissolute, drunken and lawless Americans who are willing to associate with low Filipino women and live on the proceeds of their labor.

Juno 30, 190 exceeded in 18S!i. 1 re-eor-t, r Washington, Feb. 1. The proceedings in the House today were enlivened by a spirited discussion of the Panama question. Mr. Thayer, Democrat, declared the course of this government in Panama to have been contrary to the provisions of the treaty with New Grenada.- - Mr. Groevenor, Republican. Ohio, made a vigorous defense of the administration and said the brightest alar that shines In the pathwny of the candidate of the Republican party is bis course in the Panama canal question. While a hill proposing relief to an individual from the operations of the act restricting ownership of lands In the territories and the District of Columbia to American citizens was under consideration, Mr. Hepburn asked the minority if they had changed front on this question and why they were now willing to support exemptions from the operations of that act in view of the attitude they assumed at the time of its enactment Mr. Bartlett Georgia, asked Mr. Hepburn If the legislation in question was not passed when they had the Cleveland brand of Democracy rather than the Bryan brand, as Mr. Hepburn had suggested, whereupon Mr. Hepburn advised the Democrats to return to the Cleveland brand. The House took up the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, consideration of which was pending when the House adjourned. Mr. Groevenor said: I believe that Theodore Roosevelt placed a star in the crown of his administration brighter than it had been the good fortune of any American President in the last thirty years to have established. It would go down to the latest generations of our countrys history as a demonstration of what one man or one administration can do to redeem the character of the nation from the possibility of the charge of Imbecility and lack of courage in an hour of extreme peril and 1 believe that if the gentleman will put hie ear to the ground just now and listen to the sounds that ' are coming from all over the United States, he will hear a sound p . cndorsqpent of Theodore Roosevelt in this particular matter of the Panama question that will unset-li-e his views as to the future possibility of Democratic victory In the coming election. You Democrats are in a position now, if you will call off a few more leaders and get rid of them, to give ua a whole lot of trouble In the coming summer and fell. But do not come to ua with an endorsement of any man's speech whether a representative or a senator tliat condemns the United States in the action taken in the matter of the Panama canal, if you do there will not be enough left of you In November to make a respectable funeral procession. The committee rose and at 4:55 p. m. the House adjourned. The House then took up the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. After Mr. Hitt had explained the provisions of the bill Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts addressed the House on the Panama queslon. Are we.

The whereabouts of Mrs. Maybrick are variously announced in the ncwspaiiers this morning as Cornwall, Holloway prisou, at for the United States, etc. The Daily Chronicle, which is under the same ownership ss Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, the journal that on Sunday published the story of Mrs. Maybrick's release, declares the statement that Mrs. Maybrick has sailed for the United States to be untrue, and adds that she is still in England, and UJit certain renditions attached to her liberation impel her to exercise great discretion In her attitude toward the public and for a time at least it will only be iKwsible for her to acknowledge through the press her gratitude for tbe efforts of her sympathizers in obtaining her release. The Daily News says the whereabouts of the Institution in which Mrs. Maybrick is recuperating is kept a profound secret, because she is still in the custody of the authorities. . In fact, the paper says, "Mrs. Maybrick and her custodians are concealing their identity, and this Is necesat-tafe- d by her being privileged to walk abroad with her female wardens. It Is understood that after a period of rest she will return to either Woking or Holloway prison to receive her formal discharge on special license. aea-bou- nd Berlin, Feb. I.

A gunboat appeared in the offlng of Monte Crisli on the 38th and waa supposed to be waiting to intercept the Cherokee. She sent a boat in toward the shore, lint the revolutionists prevented it from landing by artillery fire. To thia the gunboat responded by bombarding Monte Crisll on the 29th. She did but slight damage, however, and finally steamed away before the Cherokee arrived and landed her ammunition. An armed schooner appeared off Monte Cristl on Jani. 37 and exchanged shots with the shore, the revolutionists firing back. in Washington, Feb.

It has been well known for months that Russia has hem steadily strengthening her army and navy In the Far East to meet the preparations which Japan waa openly making. The available warships were dispatched to tbe' Far East and the last division which left tbe Mediterranean a month ago is now nearing Its destination. Quietly but aurely. It was necessary that Russias preparations should keep jama with those of her diplomatic adversary. The feverish activity of Japan during the last few weeks naturally increased have been pushing their precautionary measures with more rigor. It is understood that six or seven military trains daily have been going aEst over the Siberian road and the charters of some ships cargoes for the Pacific have been cancelled because the water route. was considered too slow.

The remainder of the day waa devoted to an argument by Mr. Morgan In support of the resolution introduced by Mr. Stone directing the Senate committee on foreign relations to make an Investigation into the Panama revolution. Mr. Morgan declared that there la a spirit of political demlnation toward the minority in the Senate which regards as less majsste any effort to secure information aa to tbe part In affair in which the Senate is interested. Under the circumstances be could not bind himself tu a contract to be filled out by a Panama canal company, aa under the terms oT article 82 of the treaty that company would have tbs right to da Under that article, Mr. Morgan asserted, there is no limit aa to the amount to be paid to the company. Mr. Morgan asserted that Panama could have no choice bnt to do the will of the canal company. Thia ooold not. however, explain the voluntary art of the United States In tying Ua own hands In the interest of the company. In this connection he disrnased the part played by the Republic of France In the Panama negotiations, laying that the United Slates had mads In article 32 a surrender to fraud and Inequity and it had duns So under pressure from France. Discussing the terms of the treaty, Mr. Morgan declared that in effect it had been made between the United Btete and the canal company, and he said the company could afford to pay Panama 10.000,0(i0 of her winnings in a game which was without equal in , depravity." , Mr. Morgan traced the connection of M.

He asserted that if a member of Congress were guilty of such conduct as Bunsen-Varill- a bid been guilty of he would be made the subject 'of "condign punishment." He asserted tliat the new Panama ranal company had never dons on honest day's work on the canal, and declared that the Intrusion of that company into tbs controversy was offensive and Intolerable. . "About this treaty," he went on, "there is an atmnephsce of degradation gainst which the people revolt. Mr. Morgan closed with a reference to hia long advocacy of.aa Isthmian canal and to the attitude of the south toward tbe canal projecL saying that section was sllll unmoved by mercenary temptations." He proceeded: "The people of the. south .will pity and forgive, but will not. forget such as ran And excuse In their fears of upstart despotism for the acceptance of gifts that are stained with fraud and are gathered from the wreck 'of the Constitution, the statutes enacted by Congress and the laws of nations Wa cannot if wa could, convince thews who live, or those who will live, that It is honorable or Just, or reasonable to assist any man who may he President In the violation of the Constitution or the laws of the lend.
