EXPANSION debate rOMMENCED IN THE SENATE V BY SENATOR VEST. • M»V<- No Rißh* to Acquire and n f II tt * * Attempt to Govern Territory With01It Consent of the People-Attempt to Revolutionize the Government. Washington, Dec. 13.—Discussion of two questions, each of interest and importance at this time, was begun by the senate at its session yesterday. Territorial expansion and the construction of the Nicaragua canal occupied the attention of the body during the greater part o f the afternoon. As soon as the routine business had teen disjiosed of, Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo.), called up his resolution offered last peek, declaring it to be unconstitutional f or this government to acquire foreign territory except for coaling stations or some like purpose, unless its intention was to confer statehood upon the territory and citizenship upon its inhabitants. Mr. Vest said in part: ■•To say,” declared Mr. Vest, “that citizens of a territory are excluded from the privileges granted by the bill of rightsand are merely the subjects of the arbitrary will of congress is a monstrous proposition, but fortunately, the upreme court has determined that question in many cases. "I do not deny,” continued Mr. Vest. • the power of the federal government to acquire territory, but I do deny its power to acquire territory peopled with million: without their consent and with no intention of conferring upon them citizenship. I may be answered that the point is not good, that it might be evaded by the taking of vast tracts of lands peopled with barbarians to be had merely for commercial advantages. When the congress of the United States shall become as degraded as this, it is only a question of time until the end shall come. “We are a great people,” concluded Mr. Vest. "We are told that this country can do anything, constitution or no constitution. Weave a great people, it is true, but we cannot do more than another great people did—a people that conquered the world, not with steel ships and modern cannon, but with bar" swords and primitive gallies. The colonial system destroyed all hope of Republicanism in the old time. It is an appendage of monarchy. It can exist in no free country, because it uproots and eliminates the basis of all Republican institutions—that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. I know not what may be done with the glamour of foreign conquest and greed of the moneymaking classes of this country'. For myself, I would rather quit public life this minute —nay, I would be willing life itself—rather than give my’’’vm sent to this fantastic and wicked attempt to revolutionize our government and to substitute the principles our hereditaryenemy for the teachings of Washington mid his associates. ” Mr. Morgan opened the debate on the canal bill with a 3-hour appeal for action at this session. The whole country, he said, would be disappointed if congress did not act. He was willing to take any measure which would result in the building of the canal. In the course of his remarks he agreed to accept an amendment specifically’ excepting the canal from neutrality without regard to any country with which the United States might be at war. Havana Riot Spanish Officers and Cubans Have a Clash in the Streets. Havana, Dec. 13. —When the news of General Garcias death spread through Havana the Cubans wished to have all places of amusement closed. Two places frequented by Cubans coni plied, but the management of the Tacon theater, where there were so many Spanish officers among the audience, refused to dose the house. Thereupon Allegretto, a former captain of insurgent troops, got into an excited argument with the manager of the theater and was escorted to the sidewalk by the police on duty. There he entered into a heated discus’i°n with a Spanish officer, who struck him across the face with the flat of his sword.

Then there was a collision between ' übans and the Spanish military men, more blows were struck on both sides many persons from the cases and park cheered for Spain and brought crowds of people to the spot from adja cent streets and squares. Suddenly a ’hot wag fired, whether by a Cuban or f a Spaniard, intentionally or accidently, cannot be said. More shots were fired and Cubans ran 1 rough the Ingleterra hotel office and juade their way upstairs. Jesus Soto®Ko, a Cuban, fell wounded on the ’lairs, and another man broke into the i oo ® occupied by Lieutenant Fitzhugh son of the famous general and form,’r consul here, demanding protection, general Greene and several members bis staff, who had been out on a bal--IJBy watching the crowds, heard the “Proar in the hotel and went into the ■orndor.

Work Is Completed Peace Commissioners Sigi, the Treaty of Peace a t p ai q s Paris, Dec. 12,-The “treaty of Paris,” or in other words the peace treaty between Spain and the United States was signed Saturday night. The two commissions had met in the afternoon, the the Americans being the first to arrive at the foreign office. They were followed a half hour later by the Spaniards. Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish commission, ascended the steps, leaning on a cane and bundled in a fur The Americans shook hands with the Spaniards when the latter entered the conference hall. The faces of the representatives of S]>ain were exceedingly solemn. Apparently they regarded the occasion as a funereal one.. The treaty, which was not completed, was brought in sections in the hands of the engrossers, while the commission was sitting. After being photographed, the commissioners listened to the reading of the treaty until 5:15 p. m., at which hour they took a recess until 7 o’clock, while awaiting the arrival of the last sections of the treaty'. The long session during the afternoon and the subsequent recess were due only to the fact that each article of the treaty’ had to be carefully read and compared in Spanish and English, and to the fact that the engrossing of the last article in Spanish was incomplete. At 7 o’clock the commissioners met again, the treaty was read in full and the document signed. Farmers' National Congress Favor the Construction of the Nicaraguan Canal. Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 9.—The Farmers' National Congress adopted resolutions yesterday favoring aid in constructing the Nicaraguan canal and government control of the same, and one favoring development of the beet sugar industry. The congress also passed resolutions favoring the lease or sale of arid lands so as to make them taxable, and asks the United States congress for increased appropriations for rural free mail delivery; favoring national legislation to do away with the privileges accorded to original packages of oleomarine under interstate commerce law; prohibiting the branding of dairy products with the name of the state or territory in which they are produced and urging the necessity for instruction in the principles of agriculture in public schools. Game Wardens’ Meeting Northwestern Association Discussing Game Laws at Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 13.—Uniform laws in regard to the game season and other legislation for the protection of game was discussed yesterday at the meeting of the Northwestern Game Wardens’ association. Representatives were present from Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, Indiana, Ohio, North and South Dakota. Action will be taken looking for stricter laws for the interstate shipment of game and bills will also be prepared prohibiting cold storage of game, which, it is claimed, is depleting the game supply more than anything else.

WAS A CUBAN HERO DEATH OF GENERAL GARCIA AT WASHINGTON. He Fell n y ictini to Pneumonia—General Miles Furnishes a Guard of Honor — President McKinley Pays His Respects as Do Several Senators. Washington, Dec. 12.—General Calixto Garcia, the distinguish:-d Cuban warrior and leader, and the head of the commission elected by the Cuban assembly to visit this country, died here at the hotel Raleigh yesterday. Sudden change from the warm climate of Cuba, with the hardships he had there endured, to the wintery weather of New York and Washington is responsible for the pneumonia which resulted in his demise. He contracted a slight cold in New Y ork, which did not assume an alarming stage until the early part of last week. During the 12 hours or more preceding dissolution, General Garcia was unconscious most of the time. At intervals he recognized one or more about him. On his dying moments, as all through his busy and active life, his thoughts were for his beloved country and its people, and among his last words were irrational mutterings in which he gave _ t \ io .A GENERAL GARCIA, ardors to his son, who is on his staff, for lhe battle which he supposed was to occur today and in which he understood there were only 400 Spaniards to combat. Just before he died he embraced his sou. Rev. Father Magee of St. Patrick’s church was with General Garcia until the end. Other members of the commission and Mr. Rubens, their counsel in this country, were also in the bed chamber when the end came. By direction of Major General Mlles a detachment of soldiers from Battery E, Sixth artillery, at the ban-acks here, under command of Lieutenant Cox, was detailed as a bodyguard for the remains. As soon as the death became known a number of visitors, including many public men, came to the hotel to express their condolences. President McKinley manifested his sympathy by sending a suitably worded letter and Vice President Hobart sent his card. Among those who called were Senators Foraker. Money,froctor and Chandler and Majors General Lawton and Wheeler. General Garcia was the original conspirator in the uprising of the Cubans against Spain in 1868, and in that war, under Gomez, he attained the rank of a brigadier general. In 1875, while reconnoitering with Iris escort, he was surrounded by 2,000 Spaniards. Preferring death to capture and subsequent execution ar the hands of his enemy’, he attempted suicide by placing his revolver under his chin and firing. The bullet came out between his eye brows. For his participation in the revolutionary movement he was sent to Spain, being released after four years confinement. He returned to the United States and attempted to create another revolt in the island, but to save his colleagues he capitulated to the Spanish forces and was again banished to Spain in 1880, where lie remained until 1895, when he made his escape. From that time on he was active in the war with Spain, which resulted in the freedom of Cuba. GARCIA’S FUNERAL. Remains Temporarily Deposited In a Vault at Arlington. Washington, Dec. 13. —The body of General Calixto Garcia, the Cuban patriot, guarded by a detachment of United States artillerymen, lay in state all day yesterday in the room at the Raleigh hotel in which he died. Last night the remains were placed in a handsome black cloth covered casket preparatory to the funeral services which took place today. The face and bust were left exposed to view. This morning at 9:30 the remains were taken to St. Patrick’s Catholic church where the funeral services were held. After the services at the church the remains, borne on a caisson and escorted by companies Kof the Fifth and E of the Sixth regiments of seige artillery on duty at the barracks, were taken to Arlington and placed temporarily in a receiving vault, pending their final interment in Cuba at the time to be hereafter determined. Constitutional Amendment Proposed. Washington, Dec. 13.—Representative Hepburn of lowa yesterday introduced a joint resolution proposing an amendment of the constitution as follows: ••No new state, the territory of which was not a part of the United States and under its jurisdiction and sovereigntyon the Ist day of January- A. D„ 1898, shall be admitted into the union, unless three-fourths of the members elected tc each house of congress shall vote affirmatively for such admission. Powell Clayton Confirmed. Washington, Dec. 9—The senate yesterday confirmed the following aoniina turns- Powell Clayton of Arkansas to be ambassador to Mexico. Brigadier generals to be major generals: Guy A . Henry, U. S. A.; Leonard Wood, U. S.'V.

WOMAN AND FASHION. JklorniE-g’ Gown From Paris—Costume Fox Young: Woman- Making Blouse Waists Fit. In one act of “Le Maitre de Forges” Mme. June Hading always wears a soft, clinging white gown. Fortins season it is a princess gown of white crape, beautifully embroidered in deep cream color. The front and ruffle around the bottom are of plain white crape, and over jfc fssJa fk (ft. NA". J v f t - A JANE HADING COSTUME. this is a sort of redingote, the edge of which is scalloped, and which is trimmed up and down the front and around the bottom with a double row of embroidery. Around the half low neck is a deep :ollar almost covered with the embroidery. The close fitting sleeves are made of alternate clusters of tucks of the crape and bands of the embroidery. There is a slight fullness at the top, over which is a little embroidered cap. The girdle is pale green ribbon tied in short loops, but with long ends, reaching almost to the bottom of the demitraiu. The illustration is taken from Les Premieres et La Mode. Uces For Odd Clasps. You can give a modish air to a bodice by the simple device of opening it at the left side and apparently securing it over the full vest that shows beneath by three clasps. Any woman with an eye for dress can see how to space them without directions. The clasps or ornaments are of jet, of cut steel, of ivory or oxidized silver. If you know how and where to go, you may be able to pick up pretty ornaments of amber or clover colored crystal. Sometimes the ornament has a fringe of small beads to match. You must remember to place them only at one side and that is the left. —London Mail. Becoming Dresses For Stout Women. A black net waist will apparently reduce a stout woman’s size, but she must not use the cross tucks. She should put on lengthwise strips of black lace insertion and finish off the lower edge with narrow folds of black silk like the skirt. The latter should be of five gores with two tiny ruffles on the edge. A design which is much trimmed should be avoided. Have the collar a band of brilliant jet and jeweled passementerie, or of velvet or taffeta of a bright color. —Ladies’ Home Journal. Costume For Yount Woman. For a young woman an appropriate and in every way attractive costume is shown in the illustration. The material for the body of the costume is medium weight tobacco colored cloth. The skirt is perfectly plain, hangs straight in front and at the sides and falls in easy, graceful folds in the back. It displays Y WMIlj f A APPROPRIATE AND ATTRACTIVE, considerable amplitude at the bottom and follows the modified bell design in a general way. The combination corselet and overskirt is close fitting and buttons down the back. The corsage is of dark green velvet witn a small design in a darker shade. It fits closely in the back and is made in the form of a blouse in front. The sleeves are close fitting to the shoulders, where they are finished in puffs of l medium size.—New York Telegram. To Make Blouse Waists Fit. The woman who wishes her blouse waist to lie smoothly across the shoul- , der puts a bit of stiffening down the shoulder seam. Some of the manufac tured so called “bones” are excellent for this purpose. They are firm, but pliable. No matter how well a garment is cut, if it is not tight fitting or with a tight fitting lining it is not possible to make that shoulder seam lie straight without some assistance, and this the soft "bone” gives.

'HUMOR OF THE HOUR. She was a brisk little woman, and for one whole month she had kept her account with the Lincoln National bank. Her animated presence in the women's department of tbat institution last Friday was due to the fact that the teller had sent her a formal notification that she had overdrawn her account. “How much did I have to my credit?” she inquired mildly. “Seventy-two dollars,” replied the teller. “Well, what was the amount of my last check?” “Seventy-five dollars,” replied the teller. “It seems to me that $3 is a pretty small amount to make a fuss about, ” she remarked, with just a tinge of asperity. “There is no disposition to make a fuss,’’ explained the teller politely. “We assumed that you would like to know just how your account stood, and, of course, it is necessary that we keep our books straight." “Certainly, that is all right,” re sponded the brisk little woman cheerily. “What shall I do about it?” “Well, if it is convenient, you might deposit an additional sum of money, not less than $3.” “Why, of course, I will fix that directly,” she said, and, stepping over to one of the little writing tables, she filled out a check. “There, I guess this will do,” she murmured smilingly, as she thrust her own check for $5, drawn on the depleted deposit, through the teller’s window. “Now I have a balance of |2.
