He was| supported by his ald, Colonel Miley, | who was with him in Cuba, and flanked | by a large portmanteau of papers, to which his aid occasionally applied for ence. eneral Shafter’s story of the opera- | tions around Santiago was tersely told, | but at this quite vivid in its recital and interesting in detail. Briefly | summed up his estimate of the San-| | tiago pedition was that it had been 5 |a military suc and cheap at the on the | €0St of 500 men lost in the fight.

The commission stated that General Miles to-day communicated to the com- mission his unwillingness to volunteer | testimony.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The House to-day listened to the first speech on | the annexation of the Philippines. Wil- liams of Mi ippi, a Democratic mem of the Foreign Affairs Commit- tee, in an hour's speech, stated his op- position to a policy which would bring the islands under the sphere of the United States inflmence. He contended that it would be hostile to the spirit of our institutions to assume control over 9,000,000 unwilling souls; that annexa- tion would cost us $140,000,000 a year; that the annexation of the islands met none of the tests which applied to our past acquisitions of territory and would be a mistake from a social, political and material standpoint. Williams’ re- marks received careful attention and S al ti drew applause from -his me | Democratic colleagues. The agricultural apropriation bill was passed without material amendment. It carried $3,691 or $187,120 more than the current law ston of the At the opening of the ses: House Cannon called up the conference report on the army and navy deficiency bill and moved its adoption. De Armond (Dem.) of Missouri asked hether the reapportionment of the bal- ance of the $0,000,000 to be expended rder the direction of the President would in any way sanction or authorize the pay- ment out of that fund of $100,000 each to law Reid and Judge Day for ser- as Peace Commissioners. Cannon said he knew nothing about it and, on his statement that this reappor- tionment made no change authorizing such an expenditure, the report was adopted. - The House went into committee of the whole on the agricultural bill. Wads- ew York explained that 22, an increase of $157,120 over the curr 6,322, nt law. Williams (D.) of - Mississippl took ad- vantage of the latitude allowed in debate while in committee of the whole to make an argument against the annexation of the Philippines. . Physically, he sald, the tslands would prove a great disappoint- ment. They were thickly populated with peoples of -heterogeneoms races. They could neyer afford home or opportunity for American citizens. In the annexation of territory of the past the area annexed had been always coterminous, except in the case of Alaska, and we had in each case increased our population and our power of national defense. These had been the tests in the past. The Philip- pines fulfilled none of these tasks., In the : of Cuba, if Cuba should be willing to throw her lot with us, be different.

We would have to hold in subjection 8,000,000 Fil and as the House was considering an ag- ricultural bill it might be well to bear in mind that the increased taxes could be shifted and shifted until they reached the farmer, who would pay in the end. He argued that under the fifteenth con- Stitutional amendment citizenship could not be denied the natives of the islands if they were annexed. He had been asked why, sissippi had been able to deal with the race question, the people of the United States would not be able to do so in the Philippines. The difference w. that the peopi® of Mississippi understood the problem with which it had to deal. It came home to them by actual contact. | The people of the United States who have to solve it would do so theoretically and they would fall. There must be white su- premacy. If white supremacy were not guaranteed in Hawail he declared that 9 per cent of the Caucasians would not re- main there. While he opposed the annexation he said_he should not return the Philippines to Spain. “I should leave the islands where they were the day after Dewey's glorious victory at Manila. I should haul down the American flag. I am for the flag for what it means, not for itself. It is nothing but a piece of bunting, and when some one announces that it must not come down, I care not how high his station, h, something unworthy of s country.

Our interest in them was the commercial interest. We had in the East generally an interest in an “open door” policy. If any other couns try got possession of the Philippines it would not do worse than SE-“" did. Inany fli&mlnes was an a mere drop in the bucket, ained possession of them we would sac- rifice the open door policy in the Orient or go back on the constitution. There was still * another solution of the problem Williams sald.

By Giving the People of the Islands Self-Government the Necessity of Large Standing Armies Would Be Removed. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—In accord- ance with the notice given yesterday, Teller of Colorado to-day addressed the | Senate on Vest's resolution, declaring | that under the constitution no author- | ity is given to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as col- onies. Teller's address was a constitutional gument, which he prefaced by that in view of Platt's very able expo- sition of the question he (Teller) might omit properly much that he had intended to discuss. He did not think there was the slightest question of the power of this Government to acquire foreign territory. “If we are a nation,” he declared, “we have #he power to exercise the right of a nation—all the rights of any sovereign power. When the country was called upon in 1861 to meet this question it met it fairly and settied it for all time. So far as the United States concerned the question was setttled flnally at Ap- pomattox. ““Then,” declared Teller, “we took our| place as a nation, endowed with all the powers of a sovereign, and we posses those powers to-day.” Referring to the territory acquired by | the United States during the recent war, Teller said: “We have already acquired this terri- tory. We need, as a matter of fact, no treaty with Spain to confirm our right to it. By right of conquest—a right undis- | uted—we come into .possession of Cuba, 'orto Rico and the Asiatic archipelago. They are ours just as certainly as they could be made so by treaty."” Teller discussed briefly the statement of Vest that many of the deeds of cession of foreign , territo! acquired by the| United States contain clauses providing | that the territory ultimately should be | created into States of the Union. “We can confer statehood upon these | Territories when in our judgment it is proper so to do. Nobody can call into question our right to exercise our judg- ment in this matter. If we acquire terri- tory the very act carries with it the right | to govern. vho,” he demanded with dra- matic force, ‘‘can govern now in Cuba or in Porto Rice but the United States? That question is settlted—settled by the very circumstances of the. casa The question is now, What disposition shall we make of the territory that has come into our possession?” Teller thought it a duty of our people | and legislators to keep in mind constantly the great principle upon which this Gov- ernment {s founded—that the just powers | of a government are derived from the consent of the governed. “We ought,” said he o0 extend to the people of these possessions the power to govern themselves as soon as they are prepared to exercise that power. We are | coming to deal with the greatest question | the American people have met since 1861. | 1 anticipate much difficulty: and embar- | rassment, but have at no time felt the| distrusts that have been manifested by | many of our people.” “If this Government will say to the peo- ple of this acquired territory,” said Teller, | “‘We will give self-government,’ we will | not need an army of 5,000 men in_Cuba, | 20,000 in Porto Rico and 30,000 in the Philip- | pines. To.say this to those people is the | only way to escape a great standing army. | “I am not one,” he said, further along, | to turn these possessions back to Spai but I do believe that we ought to give them the opportunity to govern them- | selves. I may say that nobody wants| these possessions made into States now. No public man is in favor of such a plan, so far as I am aware, yet, in course of | time, we may take them in.” | So far and as soon as possible, Teller | believed, the inhabitants Ol'f» t'uhhfld&igou\d‘ be given self-government, but he not | & g|:he United States should leave the infant power thus established as @ prey of any other nation, either through conquest or treaty. He believed | it folly to speak of “imperialism’ as ap- | plied to this country. No man or Senate | of men had any intention of establish- | ing in this country the European policy of imperialism, and” none would champion such a course. Proctor here interrupted Teller to read an extract from a letter from Admiral | Dewey concerning the character of the | Filipinos, as follows: ‘‘These people can be governed without the slightest diffi- culty. They readily give in to reason, | and T have not had the slightest difficulty | in_dealing with them.” i Proctor also read an extract from the | letter of an army officer, speaking in | terms of praise of the Filipinos and indi- cating that there need be no difficulty with them. The House resolution providing to ad- journ Congress from December 21 to Jan- vary 4 was adopted without diviston. | Several private pension bis were dis- | posed of, after which Elkins called up the bill Telating to the registry of foreign built vessels wrecked in this country. El- kins asserted that we pay a million dol- | lars a day to foreign built ships. The bal- ance of trade appeared to have been $600,- 000,000 in our favor for the last year, but as a matter of fact, it was only about half that, as so large a portion of it went to reign ships. m’l‘llfinan apsked: “If we annex the Phil- ippines, where will our coast trade end?” Bikins replied that he hoped it would end in the Philippines, but that was an extraneous question and he did not want to raise it. At 2 o'clock the Nicaragua canal bill, the unfinished business, was taken up, to the displacement of the registry measure. | Caffery spoke in opposition to the canal bill. He said the proposition to connect | the two oceans by means of a canal was so attractive to the Imagination as to cause many people to accept it as a wise enterprise, regardless of appeal to rea- son on its merits. He deprecated the per- sonal attacks upon the members of the Maritime Canal Company, but indicated | his belief that the bill was an attack upon | the treasury of the United States. He de- clared the enterprise under the bill was in violation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in contravention to the concession from the Isthmian countries and In opposition to our own constitution. These proposi- | tions he undertook to maintain by an | analysis of the bill by sections. While Caffery was speaking a message was recelved from the House of Repre- sentatives announcing that an amend- ment of the Senate, the final question in controversy, to the war and navy de- ficiency bill, had been agreed to. This ' assed the measure and as soon as signed Pl ‘will go to the President. Without having concluded his remarks Caffery at 4:10 p. m. vielded to Gallinger, and on his motion the Senate went into executive session. At 5:10 p. m. the - ate adjourned. Shot by a Companion.

TERROR COSTS THREE LIVES A MAN CARRIED DOWN WITH ONE OF THE VICTIMS. Mrs. C. H. Raymond, First President | of the New York Red Cross Society, Numbered Among the Killed. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Three women were killed and a man was severely in- jured to-day owing to a fire at the resi- dence of C. H. Raymond at West End avenue and Seventy-third street. Mrs. Underwood, a sister of Mrs. Raymond, leaped from a second-floor window. Her head struck the sidewalk and death was instantaneous. William Doerr, in trying to rescue Mrs. Underwood, sus- tained a fracture of the skull which will probably result in death. Mrs. C. H. Raymond followed Mrs. Underwood out of the window and was picked up in- sensible, dying to-night, while Mr. Ray- mond was carried from the house un- conscious from smoke. After the flames were extinguished, the body of Harriet Fee was found on the third floor of the house. She had been overcome by the smoke. A superb collection of pictures and tapestries, owned by Mr. Raymond, was entirely destroyed. The fire was discovered by some one passing in the street. When the fire- men arrived they could not get into the building, as the flames burst out in such volume that the men were driven back. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond appeared at windows of the third-story front and filr . Underwood at a second-story win- ow. The firemen ran ladders to the upper stories, and Willlam Doerr, a railroad conductor, volunteered to go up. Mrs. Raymond and Mrs. Underwood could be seen climbing out of the windows, and | the firemen and crowd begged them to go back. Doerr was halfway up the ladder, when Mrs. Underwood jumped from the window, striking him full in the breast and carrying him with her to the street. Then the firemen bore away Mrs. Underwood, while others rescued Doerr. Mrs. Underwood was dead and Doerr apparently dying, their skulls having been crushed. Meantime Mrs. Raymond, who couid not be restrained by her husband, had jumped out of the window, and was fatally hurt. Two firemen, who climbed a ladder to the third story, rescued Mr. Raymond just as he was overcome by the smoke. Ferguson, the butler, es- caped by the rear. His face was bad- ly lacerated owing to his falling while | making his escape. It was after the fire had been sub- dued that the body of Harriet Fee was found. All the clothing had been burned off and the corpse was black from the flames. Mrs. Underwood had come from Ohio to spend the holidays with her sister, Mrs. Raymond. Mrs. Raymond was the first presi- dent of the New York Red Cross and was also chief patron of the Red Cross Hospital. Upon the opening of hostili- ties with Spain Mrs. Raymond volun- teered to go to any post to which the society might assign her. The flags carried by the Red Cross steamer Texas when it carried supplies to the front were the work and gift of Mrs. Raymond.
