V Western member of Congress received word from his cadet ap pointee at Annapolis that the Academy authorities were starving Jtiin. Always eager to right such wrongs, particularly after the re tent expose at West Point, the Congressman made an investiga tion in hot haste and found that his protegee was sleek and well-fed and had gained 20 pounds since he entered the Academy in the Fall, t t The only opposition in the Sen ate to the resolution calling for a change in the date of the Presi dential inauguration was by Sena tor Stewart of Nevada who thought that the pleasant April weather might attract too large crowds to Washington and cause too much military display, possibly leading to revolutionary demonstrations. ■f + + + ••Sending coals to Newcastle" is a thing that the I'nited does every day.

WASHINGTON LETTER. (from our Jiegular Currespotulent.) Washington, March 3d, 1902. Last Saturday there occurred on the tloor of the Senate Chamber a list light engaged in by the sena tors from South Carolina. The Senate immediately went into ex ecutive session and declared the offenders "in contempt." It had been my intention to permit this disgraceful episode to pass unnotic ed but the events which followed make it necessary to refer to it. On Monday when the Philippine revenue bill came to a. vote, Presi dent pro tem Five refused to the senators in contempt an opportun ity to vote and precipitated a pro test from the minority, who claim ad that the action of the president was unconstitutional in that it "disfranchised a sovereign state." The Chair adhered it its decision and the bill passed by a strict party vote. On Tuesday Senator Frye, while affirming that his position had been correct and that senators in con tempt had neither vote nor voics on the lloor, restored their namee pending the report of the commit tee to which had been referred the question of censure, etc. Imme diate adjournment was taken by the Senate on Tuesday and Wed nesday. Thursday was devoted to | the joint session referred to below j and on Friday the Committee on Privileges and Elections reported [ censuring Senators Tillman and McLaurin and relieving them from contempt. On that day the Senate approved the permanent census bill, as reported by the conference committee, as did also the House and with the signature of the President it will become a law. The Senate then took up the irriga tion bill which was next on the calendar. Senator Penrose, at the request of your correspondent, recently made a brief statement of Republi j can policy in the Philippines. ; "The United States will stay in j the Philippine Islands," said the I Senator, "and will convert them to ! a prosperous portion of the coun try. They will, I presume, be given territorial rights in time, and a resident Commissioner as Porto ! Rico now has. The resources of the islands are incalculable and when they are developed by Ameri can capital and American enter prise it is my opinion that they will not only be adequate to meet the current expenses of the terri tory but will afford it and its resi ! dents the many advantages of high ! or civilization now enjoyed by the j citizens of the United States. ! Under the guidance of the Philip ! [tine Commission the islands now ! enjoy inlinitely better educational I advantages, better courts of justice I and, in a word, better facilities for j the attainment of civilization than i they ever had or ever would have | enjoyed under Spanish rule. With i the exception of a few professional lighters, the people are happy and j contented and the time is not far | distant when they will lie more so. I With the insurrection ended the I'nited States will be in a position to still further carry into effect the beneficent intent which she has in view and a satisfied and prosperous people will bless this country for their deliverance from Spanish dominion." The consular and diplomatic ap propriation bill was passed by the House during the past week and a committee was appointed to confer with the Senate committee on the Philippine bill. On Friday the House devoted itself to the calen dar and exceeded all previous re cords by passing 159 bills in three hours. It then adjourned until this morning. The question of re ciprocal relations with Cuba is still unsettled and the best thought will be considered in caucus this evening. On Thursday Congress went into joint session in the House of Rep resentatives and with its guests, the President and his Cabinet, Prince Henry of Prussia and his suite, the diplomatic corps, the .Justices of the Supreme Court and it number of invited guests, parti cipated in the beautiful memorial services at which Secretary Hay delivered an eloquent eulogy of William MeKinley. Adjectives will not do justice to the glowing j tribute which the Secretary of ! State paid to bin dead chief. Your correspondent was present at the memorial exercises in the House of Representatives and noted particularly tin* bearing and pre sence of the distinguished person ages and especially the foreign visitors. Prince Henry of Prussia was ushered into the hall twelve or fifteen minutes before the Presi dent arrived, lie bowed slightly J to the Speaker and to the audience ! and then bringing himself to the military attitude of "attention" stood lor full}' ten minutes as stiff and immovable as a pillar, looking j neither to the right nor to the left until the arrival of the President. ! He then bowed to the President CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1902. ami took his seat. The address of Secretary Hay was delivered in a monotonous tone and was fully an hour and twenty-five minutes in length, during which time I ob served particularly the bearing of the Prince. He sat bolt upright with his feet evenly in frontofhim, and I think 1 may say with assur ance that during that long ordeal there was not the movement of a limb or muscle. It was a revela tion of the influence of rigid mili tary training and etiquette as practiced in a country renowned for its rigorous observance of form. Tn marked contrast was the natural expression of fatigue of President Roosevelt, who sat by him. The President shifted liis position again and again, and while doubtless in terested, found the long address, or especially the necessity of sit ting through it, a penance. It was evident that he would have given a great deal to vary it by a horse back ride or a running walk of ten mines. Could Not Breathe.
